Sope Me - Yoonseok Hybrid AU

Meeting

  Hoseok sat at the table with a cup of coffee, feeling jittery. Calm thyself, he thought, taking a deep breath. He shouldn't be this nervous just to meet another coworker. Maybe it was just the coffee. 

  He heard talking from the corridor outside, and before long, Bang PD walked in with a shortish man wearing sunglasses and a beanie. He seemed to be sulking a bit, his lower lip poking out and his arms crossed. Cute, Hoseok thought, before shaking his head and getting himself together. 

  "So Yoongi, this is Hoseok," Bang PD said, and Yoongi and Hoseok made eye contact (or at least what Hoseok thought was eye contact, he couldn't see through those sunglasses). Then something in the atmosphere seemed to change, and Hoseok was worried. "Oh it's you," Yoongi muttered, turning to walk out the door. 

  "I'm sorry, do I know you?" Hoseok asked, a bit hurt. Yoongi ripped off his sunglasses. 

  "Do you?"

  Hoseoks eyes widened in recognition. "Oh it's you! Oh I um... I'm very sorry about the coffee incident." 

  Yoongi scoffed. 

  "So I see you already got to know each other," Bang PD muttered. Yoongi and Hoseok ignored him. 

  "I heard you got some good lyrics to share, so I'm only here for that. Don't expect that we'll become good friends or "pals" by the end of this," Yoongi scowled. 

  Hoseok shrugged nonchalantly. "Sure. If that's what you want." 

  "So um... Yoongi! Maybe you should bring Hoseok to your studio, show him how things work there and... stuff you know..." a flustered Bang PD said, pushing Hoseok and Yoongi in the direction of the door. "If any accidents happen then call me!"

  Yoongi and Hoseok disappeared out the door, and Bang PD flopped down into a chair. "Gosh, children. I really hope Hoseok's fine."

  The awkward tension was like a stone cold wall between them. Hoseok thought about telling Yoongi a joke his Jin hyung had told him recently, but decided against it. Yoongi didn't seem like the kind for jokes anyway. 

  The shorter man had his hands in his pockets, thinking about how much easier it would be for him if it just wasn't so awkward. Maybe he should apologize to Hoseok for being so mean to him, Hoseok seemed like a nice person. He wished Hoseok would just say something to break the tension between them, like tell him a joke or something. He knew he didn't seem like the kind for jokes, but he actually loved them. Especially dad jokes. But that was a guilty pleasure of his, so shush. 

  Hoseok wished he could say something that might warm up Yoongis cold attitude towards him, but he honestly thought that was never going to happen. 

  Yoongi wished that he was brave enough to tell Hoseok that it was okay, and he wasn't mad anymore. That it doesn't take a lot of effort to wash coats and stuff when you have a washing machine. 

  Hoseok wished he wasn't such a coward around him. 

  Yoongi wished he wasn't such a coward around him.
