Love Will Remember ➝ vhope

十二

Hoseok was chewing his lower lip as he packed his bag. He had a meeting with his second employer today - Min Yoongi. He briefly met him in Japan and he was so fascinated with the brunet haired male at the time that he offered him a job and passed him his business card.

Brushing his hair to hopefully make it look more presentable he placed his bag over his shoulder before heading into the elevator.

A sigh of relief escaped his lips due to narrowly avoiding seeing Taehyung and continuing their previous conversation. Closing his eyes the blonde male tried to calm his beating heart.

Feeling the elevator door stop a few floors down he heard someone enter "I said we'd continue this conversation later."

All those deep breaths went to waste as his heart started to race hearing Taehyung's deep voice "Hoseok?"

Opening his eyes the shorter glared "no."

"That's no way to talk to your boss is it?"

"My hours just ended. You're not my boss and I don't have to talk to you unless it's urgent."

"Then talk to me as the father of your kids."

"Talk to you as the father of my kids who abandoned them?"

Before Taehyung could respond the door to the elevator opened to the floor above Hoseok's and thankfully a worker entered; ending their conversation.

"Hello mr Kim" the male bowed before slightly bowing in the blonde's direction who slightly smiled in response as Taehyung nodded in acknowledgement.

Despite it being a minute at least until they reached the ground floor it felt like eternity to Hoseok who fixated his eyes on the elevator door even thought the corner of his eye he could see Taehyung staring at him and thankfully for the both of them the worker in the elevator was completely and utterly oblivious.

Hearing the ting from the elevator reaching the floor the shorter male cautiously made his way towards the doors before passing the other employee on his way out of the elevator and towards the exit. If the receptionist was on her break and there wasn't a employee who got out of the elevator with them Taehyung would be running after Hoseok to continue their conversation but he didn't. Instead he watched as the blonde got further and further away from the building.

***

Tapping his fingers on the wooden table top Hoseok watched the clock on his phone turn from 3;59 into 4pm. Which meant the male he met in Japan not long before his transfer should arrive.

"Mr Jung?" A rough husky like vice caused the younger to lift his head up and smile "Min Yoongi nice to meet you again" leaning over he shook the mint haired male's outstretched hand.

"I'm so glad you took up my offer." He smiled a soft gummy smile as he took a seat causing the other to feel more at ease.

"Ah well I need the extra money, oh which reminds me thank you for the nursery suggestion my boys love it there" Hoseok smiled brightlyas the other nodded.

"I thought they would Jimin's great with kids." Yoongi chuckled softly.

Hoseok slightly froze at that, Yoongi was the one who suggested the nursery to him and if he's friends with Jimin he'd know Jungkook and if he knew—

"I brought a change of clothes for you for your photoshoot. Do you want to change into them before we go to our first location?" Hoseok was cut off from his train of thought hearing him and slightly blinked in confusion.

"Do you want to change here or before we go?" Yoongi repeated which Hoseok responded to with an 'oh' before grabbing the bag of clothes that the mist haired male held up.

"I'll change now, which outfit? The top one?" Hoseok asked as he peered into the bag. Seeing the older nod in response Hoseok headed towards the cafe bathroom to change into the outfit for the photoshoot.

Yoongi was a famous photographer who had several photos placed in art museums. He had several models to choose from for the current job he had but how he asked Hoseok to model was a total accident.

Just dropping his kids off at their nursery the brunet was taking a short cut through the park's gorgeous rose gardens.

In a haste to get to work in time the short male failed to notice a shorter pink haired male pressing the button on his perfectly angled camera to take a picture of the scenery for his current job.

It wasn't until he heard a click and the flash going off that caused Hoseok to realise he accidentally photo bombed a picture. Turning around to apologise he gulped as his apology got stuck in his throat due to the death glare he was given.

Seeing the brunet scurry away he looked at the picture he just took with a scowl painting his pale face.

His face relaxed into a more neutral expression however as he observed the male's perfect looking features.

His aggregated expression matched the shade of those red roses behind him; however his slightly pouted lips contrasted with the harshness of both the roses and the male's own gaze.

Seeing how beautiful the image was without even trying the shorter quickly let his camera hang loosely around his neck before moving his feet one at a time in the direction the other male went in until he saw the slightly taller male waiting to cross the road.

Slightly fastening his pace he was now right behind the other, sighing deeply he tapped his pale fingers against the other's shoulder, startling him in the process.

"O-oh it's you I'm so sorry about ruining your picture—"

"Would you like to be a model?"

Hoseok's eyes visibly widened at the offer and not long after shook his head "I won't be good as a model" Giving a slight smile he saw the man turn from red to green he started to cross over.

Thinking that conversation was over he was shocked to see him behind him "with your cheekbones and well proportioned features will heighten the beauty of the picture, just look at this picture I accidentally took of you."

"I don't know, I can't be a model." Hoseok shook his head as he stopped walking to face the older once they safely crossed.

"Just look at the picture I took of you and then decide, please?"

Sighing softly the brunette nodded and watched as the pink haired male lifted up his camera.

Getting it up Yoongi presented it to the other who bit his lip and soon after shook his head "I look terrible."

"Are you blind?" Hoseok bit his lip at the shorter's sharp gaze. No he wasn't blind. He knew he looked terrific in that picture but he didn't want to be a model not after being a glamour model a couple years back. He wanted to be a dignified parent to his children.

"Look I can't be a model, I'm a parent of two and I need a steady income and by your laniard holder you're based in Korea" Hoseok started to speak in korean as he gestured to the korean fashion label designed laniard holder that hung his camera around his neck.

Hearing his korean he reciprocated "that's true but I need a model for another job here in Japan before I go back and the money you'll get will be more then enough to cover for necessities for you and your kids."

"I'm sorry" Hoseok gave a small smile "but it's best I decline the offer."

Hearing his response a soft sigh escaped his lips. Reaching into his pocket the older male took out his wallet and pulled a blue card "if...you change your mind or ever come back to Korea you can call me and you'll immediately have a modelling job."

Pursing his lips into a thin line he took the card "alright...I'll take that into consideration thank you."
