           ~[ Learning about himself ]~

Hoseok opened the concrete door that had a special code for it to open "See for yourself." He said.

Yoongi had to face it at this point. "I'm sorry for all the naps I've taken for granted, spare me for one more." He thought as he stepped closely to the door. "Love really kills you." He leaned in and saw what's inside. He was confused for a moment.

Hoseok giggled and stepped in first "It was fun scaring you, but what do you think?" He asked.

Yoongi looked around the room. There was a lot of empty bottles around the room. Some bottles had some kind of liquids in them. He stepped in slowly "Hold up, I still don't know what the hell im looking at." He said.

Hoseok pointed at his lab coat "It literally says it on my coat, and you didn't notice it." He smiled while he stepped in front of Yoongi so he can read it.

"Mr. Jung, Fragrance chemist." He read it. His lips made an O shape. "That explains the bottles!" He said.

Hoseok smiled, he patted Yoongi's head "You're cute." He replied.

Yoongi blushed a little, Hoseok cleared his throat and pulled away quickly "WANT A TOUR?" He asked feeling embarrassed after what he said and trying to change the subject.

"S-Sure." Stuttering. Knowing his face must be pink now.

Hoseok walked up to a counter "Here is where I try to come up with new scents. A lot of them fail but it's a work in progress." Yoongi leaned in and smelled one of the bottles. It wasn't bad, it's just definitely not new.

He pointed the other part of the room where it was a little darker "There a collect fragrances I like, you can see there is not a lot." He said.

Yoongi smiled, he found it somehow fascinating. He doesn't meet people that have unique jobs just like this. "Wait, so you have a fine sense of smell right?" He asked.

Hoseok giggled "Kind of, but I am sensitive to smells a lot so I notice scents more than normal people do. That's not always good, imagine being next to someone who didn't brush their teeth in the morning. College was fun." His eyes widened and his face looked disgusted remembering some bad memories he had.

Yoongi chuckled "God no, I don't want to imagine. I mean I am next to you." He said.

Hoseok froze, "Oh my gosh, do you have gum?! I swear I brushed my teeth-"

Yoongi started laughing loudly "I was joking, you smell great. I mean not in a weird way- it's not like I smelled you. OH YOU HAVEN'T SHOWED ME THE OTHER PART OF THE ROOM!" He quickly walked away flustered.

Hoseok now felt something in his heart, he really enjoys being with Yoongi. Spending time with him, and slowly wanting to do more. The hug he gave him today, he forced himself to pull back quickly or he would have kissed him. "That's just where I keep a lot of stuff. Mostly flowers for the perfumes, but we do use other types of things." He said.

Yoongi looked around "That's nice, this whole room is yours right?" He asked.

Hoseok nodded, sitting on his chair "Only I know the passcode, so usually no one can get in. No one can bother us." He said, realizing after that the sentence sounded wrong in a way. He sighed wanting to face palm himself for saying that.

Yoongi sat on the other chair "Interesting.." he replied.

"Enough about me! How is your head? Also how are you?" He asked.

Yoongi smiled, it felt nice having someone ask about him. "I'm okay.. my head is getting better. Nothing much really going on in my life." He said.

Hoseok bit his bottom lip "How is your love life?" He thought. He didn't want to ask, he didn't want to intrude. Little did he know, he was Yoongi's love life. "Are you single?" Yoongi asked Hoseok.

Hoseok rose his eyes brows, he wasn't really expecting that kind of question from Yoongi. It was straightforward and for some weird reason it made him kind of nervous to answer. "Hahaha, yes." He scratched the back of his head and licked his lips looking away from yoongi's stare that made him nervous.

"I see, are you interested in anyone." He asked.

Hoseok wanted to die at that moment. How can his crush ask who is he interested in. He in his head thought Yoongi had a boyfriend and he wasn't interested at all. "That's confidential." He replied. Yoongi smiled "I tried I guess." He replied back.

   Hoseok smiled, he took a book he had on his desk and gave it to Yoongi "Can you read the first couple of pages, you will understand more what a Fragrance Chemist does." He said.

  Yoongi took the book, he was more than happy to actually read about what Hoseok does. He was interested in it. Hoseok stared at Yoongi while he started reading, a smile crept and the air grew thick with a tenderness that couldn't help but make him breathe slower, deeper, happier. So someone did make his heart beat faster, and it was Yoongi. He finally admitted to himself what he knew all along, but was too afraid to admit it: He liked him. A lot. And wanted to be with him.

"Would you let me... smell you?"

A flustered, confused look appeared on Yoongi's face. He slowly placed the book down and blinked profusely. "Is that some type of kink you have?" He asked.
