In The Stars {J•Hoseok} <J-Hope>

D

I walk into the school gates after waving goodbye to my mom. I knew she was sad, but she would be happy with another man by the time I got home. I walk towards the school building, "Ji-Woo!!" Is yelled and I turn to see who yelled. But right as I turn I am greeted with a large hug. "Hi," I say bluntly as I realize who it is. "Hey, are you ok?" Hoseok asked worriedly. I nodded. Hoseok then smiled brightly, causing me to feel an emotion. I smiled as well. He made me happy. We separated from the hug, I smiled at him. He smiled back. "Where was our first class again?" Hoseok asks and I laugh. "I'll show ya, come on," I say and he follows me when I start to walk. We walk into the building and I show him the way to our first class. The bell rings right as we get there. The teacher opens the door as all the students go in, going to their seats. Hoseok and I sat down next to each other, in our seats. I was bruised from what happened yesterday with Jason, my mother's, now ex, boyfriend. I tried to hide them, but I knew people could still see them. I knew Hoseok saw them, that's why he asked if I was ok. He didn't what to ask what happened. I am glad that he cares, but now Jason is gone. Jason must've gotten really mad that he didn't do anything more to me, I was very happy that he didn't. I'm glad he left my mother, I feel bad for thinking that, but it's true. He was a horrible man, and I wish he never comes back.
"Ya, do you see the bruises on her wrists?" I heard a girl ask her friend. I looked to where the voice was coming from to see two girls looking at me. I turned back around quickly. They were talking about me. I pulled my sleeve more down towards my wrists. I sighed.
*TIME SKIP*
It was finally the end of the school day!! Hoseok and I were getting ready to walk out of school. We had been together all day. I knew I would get punished by Seluge if I was alone. So I simply stayed with Hoseok. We would both often talk and tell jokes throughout the day. It was clear to me that he was now my friend. I wasn't following him around, we would both stay close. It was fun.
"Yah, Ji-Woo, are you ready to go?" Hoseok asks. I nod then close my locker to see his happy face. He grabs my hand and we begin walking. He turns the wrong way. "Hoseok, I live that way," I say stopping and pointing the other way. "I know." He says and pulls me to walk with him again. I shrug. "Where are we going?" I ask. "It's a surprise." He says and I smile. "Ok."
We continue walking for a bit. Then Hoseok stopped, causing me to run into him. He smiled. "Ya, why so clingy?" He asked laughing. I laughed.
"So is this where we were going?" I asked he nodded. "Well, I have chores, I got to go," I said letting go of his hand. He grabbed my arm, gently. It was as if he was scared he could break me. I turned. "Please, just stay here, with me, for a bit." He said looking away from me. "Alright," I said smiling. He let go of my arm and grabbed my hand, slowly intertwining our fingers. I smiled.
*TIME SKIP*
We were laying under a tree. Holding hands, looking at the sky.
The silence was all between us.
"So can you explain the bruises?" He asked. I had known he would ask. I shifted to look at him. "Hoseok, I'm fine now," I said nudging him. His smile was gone. "Please tell me what happened?" He said shifting to look at me. "Please, can we not talk about it?" I asked. His smile was nowhere to be seen. I felt sadness. "Please smile, I love your smile. It makes me smile." I whispered. He heard me. "If it will make you smile, I will smile more often." He said smiling. "I love your smile," I muttered, smiling. He smiled wider. I laughed. "You know what I love?" He asked. "What?" I answered. "Puppies." He answered smirking. "Yah!" I said hitting his arm. "Ow, I also love your laugh." He said caressing my hand with his thumb. I blushed, bringing my other hand up to my face, hiding my face. He laughed.
Once I stopped blushing, I poked his cheeks. Before I could react he turned quickly and started tickling me! I laughed uncontrollably. Starting to cry.
"Hobi, stop, please!" I said between laughs. He stopped. Smiling widely, "what did you just call me?" He asked happily. "Um, Hobi?" I said. He engulfed me in a hug. "Say it again, it's such a cute nickname!" He yelled happily. I laughed.
