Let Me Fix You || Hoseok x Reader

Chapter 19

"Have a seat," Yoongi said as he gestured to the chairs around his kitchen table. You and Hoseok listened to his command and watched as he poured himself a drink of some kind of alcoholic beverage. "Do you guys want some? Or maybe something else?"

"Should I want one?" you replied, a lot more worried about what Yoongi wanted to talk about now.

The shorter man turned to you with an emotionless expression. "Probably. But Hoseok'll be fine most likely."

"Jesus Christ, what is this about?" you sighed, propping your elbow up on the table and running your hand through your hair in an attempt to calm your nerves. You felt something grab onto your other hand and glanced down at your lap to see Hoseok's hand wrapped around yours. He gave you a comforting squeeze and when you looked into his eyes he nodded reassuringly.

Yoongi sat in a chair on the opposite side of the table from you two. He took a couple of sips from his drink, staring at the table absentmindedly and unknowingly building the tension. Or maybe this shit knew exactly what he was doing and was dragging this out on purpose to annoy you.

"I've heard a lot of good things regarding your progress," Yoongi began, looking at you with a steady gaze. "Hoseok has been telling me about improvements and I'm really glad to hear about the things you can do with him now." He shifted his gaze to said man before staring a hole through the table. "I see you're even comfortable enough to do it now."

"Where is this going?" you demanded and, with much reluctance, released Hoseok's hand. You folded your hands together on the table and stared hard at your best friend.

"You really just want me to say it flat out? Without a build-up or nothing?" Yoongi asked. Either way, Yoongi would be fine, you were sure. This "build-up" was supposed to be for your sake and you knew Yoongi had no problem with being blunt.

"Just spit it out," Hoseok said and you were surprised he was getting just as impatient.

"I think we should think about setting up a date for you."

You held Yoongi's gaze without saying anything for a few seconds, blinking slowly. "You mean stop these therapeutic lessons with Hoseok and try things out with another guy?"

"Exactly," Yoongi confirmed with a nod. "I know it's probably earlier than expected but I think at the rate you're progressing you'll be fine."

"How would we go about doing this? Find some random guy on the street and ask if he's willing to hook up?" you questioned.

"I'll find the guy. There are a few I know through my work who are trustworthy and looking for someone at the moment. I can tell them about our situation and ask if any of them will be willing to help out. As I said, these are good men and they won't do anything sketchy like drugging or kidnapping you."

You glanced over at Hoseok, suddenly having the urge to do so. It's as if you felt like you needed his permission to go through with this, like whatever his decision was would be the one you would support. The brunette in question was staring at a spot on the table with a faraway look in his eyes. You honestly weren't even sure if he was paying attention to what Yoongi was saying at this point. Or maybe that was his thinking face and he was trying to determine the best solution. Something told you the latter wasn't the correct answer.

"(Y/n)? Are you listening?"

You were snapped out of your train of thought by Yoongi. "Sorry?"

"I was asking if you were okay with this. Did you maybe want more time to think about it instead?" Yoongi replied.

"I...," you trailed off and looked back at Hoseok. You wanted him to say something. Was going through with this really the best choice?

"If you do it's not a problem for me. Take all--"
