The Park Down the Street || Sope✔️

Hoseok and Yoongi ended up getting coffee. They both agreed that Hoseok would pay this time, after all he owed Yoongi one. For a while they remained in the little coffee shop but eventually it became rather crowded. It appeared as though the working folk got off work. The two boys decided to walk down the street and look in different stores. The two collected their hot drinks and began walking down the busy street. Christmas was less then a week away, people were probably rushing to get last minute gifts. As the boys walked snow started to lightly fall, it set a nice atmosphere.

The first shop they stopped at was a book store. Yoongi didn't really want to but Hoseok dragged the older in. Apparently he went there a lot, the person at cash even knew his name. Hoseok excitedly went down the isles, Yoongi following closely behind. The older used to read a lot but lately he was never focused enough to read a full story.

"Since when do you like reading so much?" Yoongi asked after catching up with Hobi. The younger was examining the back of a book, it looked like a rather large novel. In response Hoseok just raised his hand indicating that he was reading. Yoongi couldn't help but laugh, he was like that a few years ago. Soon enough Hoseok read the description and put the book back turning to Yoongi. The older leaned against a book case sipping his black coffee.

"I don't read that often, I just like this place. It smells good and there's still one thing I haven't shown you." Hoseok said excitedly grabbing the older's hand and walking to the back of the store. The area was darker then the rest of the store. One of the lights was broken and just kinda flickered on.

"This is what you wanted to show me?" Yoongi asked examining the dusty books. No one seemed interested in reading these.

"No, just wait." Hoseok responded. He let go of the older's hand and examined the book case, he seemed to be looking for one book in particular. Finally he found it. It was a book titled 'Door'. It was the only book not covered by a layer of dust on the shelf. Hoseok went to pull out the book when they heard something click. Hoseok looked up and the older with a smile before pushing on the shelf. To the older's surprise the shelf opened and revealed a small reading room.

"This is what I wanted to show you." Hoseok said opening the hidden door even wider, allowing the older to walk in. Yoongi just stood there in silence, eyeing the whole room. It wasn't a very large space but it was nice. Beanbag chairs were thrown around the room, stacks of booked were located in every corner. There was even a small table full of board games in the corner. Hoseok walked over to one of the beanbag chairs and sat down. Yoongi followed suit and sat beside the younger.

"This is fucking cool! How did you find it?" Yoongi asked sinking further into the hair. Hoseok changed his seating position to face the older before answering.

"Tae, Jimin and I came in one day after spending the whole day out. We decided to have a competition, who could find the most boring book. I chose the one about doors and turned out it opened this." Hoseok explained, he couldn't help but smile fondly at the memory. It occurred the summer before grade 9. Yoongi kept sinking into the chair until his knees were pulled to his chest. Hoseok couldn't help but laugh at the older's cuteness, even though he had tattoos and piercings everywhere his cute nature still came out.

"Turns our the book wasn't that boring." Yoongi said from behind his coffee cup.

"Definitely not." Hoseok answered unable to hide his smile.

Christmas at the Jung residence was rather eventful. Jiwoo came back from college and decided to bring her boyfriend. Apparently his parents were busy this year so Hobi's sister invited him over to celebrate with her family. His name was Antoni, he was nice and seemed to really like Jiwoo. The festivities really started the day she cane home. Like they always did, Hoseok and Jiwoo went shopping together to find presents for their parents. The two went shopping together every year and had become a tradition. Because they both wanted to keep it alive, Antoni remained at the house and helped their parents put up the tree.
