The Park Down the Street || Sope✔️

~•12•~

It had been a week since Yoongi and Hoseok kissed, and the two were both pretending like it didn't happen. They still hung out together, they still talked on a daily basis but neither of them mentioned that night. The morning after had been awkward, Yoongi was hungover and Hoseok half asleep. They both still remembered the events clearly, but they didn't know what to do. It was obvious they had feelings for each other but what do they do? Neither of them had dealt with a situation like this. Sure Hoseok had his dramas but none of them actually dealt with the issue. For now they decided to avoid the topic, when one got too close the other gently pushed them away. They simply acted as though nothing happened.

"5,6,7,8!" Mr.Kim shouted at the theatre kids. He had been sitting in the audience watching the large group number. Slowly the musical was coming together but it needed to hurry up. The performances were in less then 2 weeks and the second act was no where close to finished. The scenes had been blocked but it was ruff, no one knew exactly where they were supposed to be so they just guessed. Yoongi was just glad he wasn't up on stage, he could hide in the corner and just play piano when asked. The actors however had been receiving quite the lecture about scene work.

"Okay everyone got that?" Mr.Kim asked. There was a quiet murmur of yeses before everyone got back into their places. Tae, Hobi and Jimin were all standing in the front along with the actress playing Dorothy. The rest of the people in the scene acted as citizens of emerald city. After getting the signal from Mr.Kim, Yoongi played the song on the piano. The older watched as everyone danced around and acted lively even though this was their 50th time doing this. While everyone danced Yoongi's eyes were drawn towards one person in particular. He couldn't take his eyes off Hoseok as he played. There was just a certain energy about him when he performed. Hobi just seemed more... Alive. Unfortunately the scene was cut short again because some one started singing before their cue. As the director told them to redo the scene from the top everyone groaned in unison. This rehearsal week was going to suck.

.......

The sun was beginning to set as Hoseok walked home from the dance studio. The student had a long day and wanted nothing more then to flop onto his bed and sleep. But first he needed to get home. The boy carried his backpack, full of homework he didn't do and sweaty dance stuff. Fatigue dragged him down, along with the weight of the bag. Usually it didn't bother him but Hobi had been running around like crazy lately. He got to school early to do home work, went to class, spent lunch catching up on more homework, went to play practice and then dance class. Hoseok did really enjoy everything he was doing but it was having a physical and mental strain on his being.

Hoseok walked slowly dragging his feet. Usually he would run home or at least walk at a brisk pace, but that wasn't going to happen today. He continued walking he got about halfway before the street lights clicked on. Hoseok approached his home slowly. He was two streets over when a park came into view. It wasn't the park across the street from his house but it was a short cut. Usually Hoseok just walked around but today he wanted to get home as soon as possible.

The park was dark, no street lights could reach that far. The grass was mushy from melted snow, and there was an odd smell. At first Hoseok was unsure of what the smell was but as he approached the play structures he was faced with reality. A small group of teenagers sat together passing around a blunt. It was obvious they weren't supposed to be there.

It was even more obvious that Hoseok wasn't supposed to be there. The older tried to quickly pass but it just didn't work. His exhaustion got the better of him and before he could walk he let out a yawn. It was a loud yawn, loud enough for the other teens to hear him. Hoseok could've tried to run but they would more then likely run after him. He didn't have the stamina to do that right now. He remained in his place as the group surrounded him. As they came closer he began to recognize them, it was Derek and all of Brice's other old friends. There were four boys in total, and they all currently surrounded Hoseok. They reeked of pot and alcohol. Hobi quickly scanned the park, trying to find a clear exit, but every way was blocked. He was completely and utterly fucked.
