Hoseok had been living at the royal palace for about a week now. So far, he had become good friends with some of the other servants. Particularly Kye Yoonmi and Ye Minsu. He didn't see much of the royal family, as during the day, the servants were usually placed in parts of the castle that the royal family was not occupying.

Prince Yoongi didn't ask too much of Hoseok, usually calling him in to clean his office or to bring him some refreshments. They never said much to each other.

It was Wednesday of the second week that Hoseok had been living at the castle, and Prince Yoongi had called Hoseok in to dust his office. The prince was typing away furiously, then sighed angrily and slammed his laptop closed. He rubbed his eyes under his glasses, then turned his head and looked at Hoseok who blushed and returned to dusting the shelves.

"Hey Hoseok, you got a nickname?" asked the prince suddenly.

Hoseok was caught a little off guard "Um, yeah my friends usually call me Hobi."

"Can I call you Hobi?"

"Sure Your Highness, if you want," Hoseok shrugged.

"Call me Yoongi," said the Prince.

"Sure Yoongi,"

The prince frowned slightly, "Yoongi..."

"Yoongi-hyung," Hoseok blushed a little.

He was caught off guard by this whole conversation. He and the prince—no, Yoongi had barely said anything to each other, much less grown close enough for nicknames.

"I got a question for you Hobi," said Yoongi.

"Hm?" Hoseok tried to concentrate on dusting the shelves in Yoongi's office.

"What do you look for in a woman?" Yoongi asked.

"Oh, I—uh, don't look for anything in a woman," said Hoseok turning a little red. He hadn't even come out to his family, much less the man who would soon rule South Korea.

"Huh?" Yoongi asked.

Hoseok rolled his eyes at Yoongi's obliviousness, "I'm gay Yoongi-hyung."

"Oh. Really?" Yoongi asked quietly.

Hoseok turned around to look at the prince who was cleaning his glasses thoughtfully. He looked up at Hoseok.

"Alright then, what do you look for in a man?" Yoongi asked placing his glasses back on his head.

"With all due respect Yoongi-hyung, I don't see what this has to do with...with anything."

"I'm just trying to make conversation," Yoongi shrugged, "but we don't have to talk about this if you don't feel comfortable."

"No, thank you though," Hoseok smiled weakly and went back to dusting. "I hope I'm not stepping out of line by asking this, but what is your—ah—preference?"

"If you had asked me a year or so ago, I would have told you I was as straight as could be, but I'm not so sure anymore."

"Well, I hope you can sort that out," Hoseok said, finishing dusting off the last shelf. "I finished dusting. Do you need me for anything else?"

"Nope, you're good for the day," said Yoongi, staring off into space. "You may go back to your room now if you wish."

"Thank you sir, have a nice night," Hoseok bowed and was about to leave when he heard the price speak up behind him.

"What did we talk about Hobi? It's Yoongi."

"Sorry Yoongi. Er, Yoongi hyung. See you tomorrow!"

The second the door closed behind Hobi, Yoongi sighed and sunk farther down in his chair.

God, Hobi, he thought, rubbing his temples. What are you doing to me?'

A/N: Sorry if I was ENTIRELY wrong about anything with the mechanics of Hoseok's friend's names in the story. I literally used an online Korean name generator and I don't know how accurate it is. Also I apologize if this one was a little short.
