"..W-Who..?"
Hoseok's eyes fluttered open, his pretty eyelashes complimenting the adorably puffy eyes. He was looking directly at Jin, and it felt like his gaze was examining every inch of the handsome male's face.
When the realization of where he was and what had happened before his unintentional nap, a small gasp could be heard echoing in the silent guest room.
"I.. What am I doing here?"
"You collapsed, and we took you here to rest" Jin calmly explaned. "Oh, right. Welcome to our house~"
Hoseok looked at the male next to the bed in disbelief. "Why would you take me here? It's not like we know each other."
He was now leaning on his hand, while trying to get up to sit. It was kind of weird to feel his hand sink into the soft mattress, as he had already gotten used to sleeping either on his pretty worn out couch, or then the thin mattress he called his 'bed'.
"Oh my gosh, of course we couldn't just leave you there! On top of that, your forehead was burning up!"
Jin got up from the floor, so he could sit on the edge of the bed. He sounded very concerned as he talked ー that tone still wasn't too familiar to Hoseok.
"Oh, and speaking of which, you should take these" Jin said, handing Hoseok a full water bottle and a small, white pill. Probably just an ordinary pain killer, or something a little bit more effective.
In any way, Hoseok really couldn't deny the fact that he was feeling very unwell. He didn't know how long he had been sleeping, or basically unconscious, but both; the sickness and the warm blanket covering the lower half of his body, were making him want to fall back asleep on the soft bed he was sitting on.
".. Thank you" he quietly mumbled, before gulping down the small pill that he knew would make the inside of his mouth taste awful if he wouldn't swallow it as soon as possible.
He sighed loudly, after drinking almost half of the water in the bottle. He then lowered his gaze to take a glance at his shirtー which wasn't his??
"What the fuck you perv!" he yelped, backing away from Jin who looked at him in pure confusion.
This was enough to alarm the people downstairs, that something was going on in the second floor. Just as Jin had opened his mouth to say something, his cheeks copying the color of his hair out of embarassment, the door got knocked wide open by Jungkook.
"Hoseok!" was the first thing Jungkook said and saw as soon as he had entered the room; the rest of the boys right after him.
With wide eyes, Hoseok took a look at the people in the room. Seems like all of his six fellow classmates really were there.
"Namjoon, explain. You know his.. his clothes."
Namjoon took a quick and awkward glance at Hoseok. "Allright.. So, I apologize, in all respect and for the sake of your health I ''gave'' you a new shirt and a pair of sweatpants."
"You were completely soaked.."
Namjoon's eyes never met Hoseok's during his explanation, and Hoseok was totally fine with it, as he too was now getting very embarassed.
A boy, a handsome one, who he barely knew, had changed his clothes while he himself was passed out? What was his boring and repetitive life becoming, a kdrama?
"It's.. fine I guess."
Both, Namjoon and Hoseok, were looking at different directions to avoid looking at each other. The silence was starting to kill everyone else in the room, and so, Jimin spoke up.
"Are you feeling any better?" he asked, as he too, sat down on the bed. Much closer to Hoseok than Jin had, though.
He was kindly smiling at Hoseok, who now had gathered up the courage to meet up with any of the boys' eyes. "I'm fine.. I think I should go now tho. I'll wash the clothes and return them tomorー"
Hoseok got cut off by Jimin placing his hand on his forehead. How come the boy's tiny hand felt so cold...
"Your fever hasn't gotten any better, you should just rest for now" Jimin said, removing his hand. "You could stay with us for a while at least, Jin even made some dinner for everyone."
"Yeah! Couldn't you stay with us?" Taehyung joined the conversation, brightly grinning at Hoseok.
"And you know, it's still raining. You'll get even sicker if you go outside" Yoongi added, looking at the guest room's window that was barely visible, since the grey curtains in front of it were covering most of the window screen.
Still, you could see how the raindrops were banging against the glass like bullets.
But what about Hoseok? He felt like his head was going to overheat because of all the questions he didn't know how to answer. Should he really stay or not? And why hadn't he already denyed their offer and walked away?
Before he got to even open his mouth, Jungkook was asking yet another question. "What do you think, would you like to spend the night with us?"
