Yoongi POV

I smile a bit at the sight of the blue candy Namjoon holds out to me, taking it and slipping it between my lips with ease. Keeping my eyes focused solely on him as I finish calming down from the hellish anxiety attack, I watch him grab something from the floor beside him before picking it up. I relax a bit at the sight of the black blanket in his hands, closing my eyes lightly as I feel him wrap it around my nearly bare body, quickly warming me back up.

"Better, baby?" Namjoon asks softly, a small smile on his face with a gentle look on it. Nodding my head, he gives me a smile before leaning in and kissing my forehead lightly.

"Good. Now, before we go get cleaned up and laid back down, you've got some things to sort out with Hoseok. Okay? As soon as everything's cleared up there, we'll go get you taken care of." Namjoon informs me, sitting down on the sofa next to me. I frown around the candy, exhausted and not wanting to deal with him again.

Sighing through my nose, I move myself closer to him and turn myself a bit so that I'm facing Hoseok as I curl up and lean against Namjoon. Hoseok glances over at me with a nervous look, he bites his lip as he looks away again. Reluctantly, I pull the blue candy from my mouth as I keep my eyes on him. Though, the candy rests against my lips, too tired to be bothered to hold it away from me.

"Look, Hoseok. Namjoon's a really good friend of mine. He knows me better than anyone else and he's there for me all the time whenever I need him. But, I don't have any feelings for him. What happened last night was what you wanted to come here and talk about, so start explaining. Because it damn well looked like you went to the bar and blew me off for some other guy." I say quietly, letting my gaze lower as I rest the side of my head against the back of my sofa. Hoseok glances over at me again, still biting his lip just like before. However, unlike Tuesday right after the first kiss, I don't reach up to release it from between his teeth.

"I'm sorry for flipping out when I got here. You're right, I shouldn't have been focused on... Namjoon... being here, but rather what happened and explaining." Hoseok apologizes softly before looking away again. He takes a deep breath, running a hand through his hair before looking back over in my general direction.

"Look, the guy you saw me with last night was my ex. I... he called me about an hour before we were supposed to meet up. Said he wanted to meet up and that he had some important things that he needed to talk with me about. He... he seemed serious at the time. So, I told him that I was already meeting up with you anyways and that if he wanted, I could meet him there a little earlier to sort it out. But, Tae knew me too well. When I... if I start drinking, I get turned on really easily and it's not hard for me to give into and get carried away with anything as simple as kissing. Taehyung and I were together for a couple years so,... he knows exactly how to get me. I don't know why he did it last night of all times, but he used that against me which is why you saw us making out last night. And, I'm really sorry. I didn't realize at the time that he'd been lying about having something serious that he needed to talk about. But, I promise you, I won't make that mistake again." Hoseok explains, his voice cracking a few times as he speaks. Swallow hard, biting my lip gently as I look away from him. It would definitely sound like he's telling the truth, but I just don't know. Besides, after the shit I saw online this morning?

I stay silent, waiting to hear if he's got more to say, hoping he has more to say. He hasn't even mentioned the fact of having gone home with apparently his ex, which in all honesty, makes things all that much worse. He actually thought that his ex would want to talk to him about anything more than trying to get him back. But yet, despite me staying silent and waiting for him to say something more, he doesn't. He stays silent, seeming to wait on me. It makes me sigh, wishing it didn't have to be this way. It's already bad enough that he's now seen me like this.

"What about when you went home with him last night, Hoseok? You went home with him last night, the fans caught you. And it was pretty damn clear that you wanted him. So explain that to me."
