Hoseok makes his way over to the door. He took in a deep breath, then he knocked.
"Come in."
Hoseok walks in.
"Hey Hoseok."
Jungkook says as he gets up and they do the bro bro handshake.
"Hey kiddo."
He turns over to Kai.
"Hey."
"Hey."
They exchange another handshake.
"What are you doing here?"
Jungkook asks and he takes a sip of water.
"I'm here to tell Tae something. Do you know where he is by any chance?"
"Yea, he's in his room with Jimin."
"Oh, ok. Thanks."
Hoseok says goodbye and makes his way over to Tae's room.

There's music so he knows that Tae is painting, since he uses music as his inspiration. He knocks on the door.
"Oh! Hoseok!"
Jimin says with the brightest smile.
"Hey fetus."
They exchange a hug. Hoseok isn't that big of a hugger, but Jimin is his baby, so he always watches out for him.
"Hyung."
Tae grins and gets up from the chair he was sitting in. He goes over and they do the bro bro handshake. Jimin goes and sits on Tae's bed and Tae sits in the chair. Jimin takes out his phone and starts playing some games. Hoseok closes the door slightly and ruffles his hair.
"So what did you wanna talk about?"
Tae spins his chair over so it's facing Hoseok. He has both elbows resting on the arm rest and has his finger tips connecting leaving some space in between his fingers.
"Oh just-."
Before Hoseok could finish the rest of his sentence, his phone rings.

He looks up at Tae who nods. Hoseok gets up and leaves the room walking about two steps from the door.

(Hoseok, Italic. Yoongi, bold.)

"Hello?"

"Hoseok, where are you?"

"I'm at Tae's."

"And why is that?"

"I'm going to tell him."

"Hoseok, listen, it's not up to you to decide when and if I tell Tae, so just drop it will you?"

"Yoongi, if you don't tell him, then I will."

"He cant know about her ok. It's going to ruin him. Are you really that selfish? Can't you see this will destroy everyone?"

"I'm gonna tell him. He deserves to know. And I wanna see you stop me."

(End of conversation)

With that, Hoseok hangs up. He puts his hands down and grips his phone tightly. He can't believe that Yoongi just called him selfish.
Him, selfish? Yoongi is the selfish one keeping such a big thing from Tae. Hoseok breaths in and collects himself. He tells himself everything is going to be ok. He puts on a smile, and walks back into the room.

"Sorry about that."
Hoseok closes the door and grins.
"Who was it?"
Tae turns back to look at Hoseok. Jimin is reorganizing Tae's paints by color and humming the melody of the song Tae played.
"Just a friend who was panicking for no reason, but all is good now."
Tae nods.
"So, what's up Hoseok? What did you wanna tell me?"
"I'm not sure if there will ever be a right time. But this is something extremely big. So I just have one big question before I tell you, are you ready?"
"Shoot."
"Are you well? Like mentally, emotionally, and physically ok? Because what I'm about to tell you is big."
Tae chuckles.
"Hoseok I'm fine. Just tell me already, you're scaring me."
Tae chuckles lightly.
"Well it's about your-."

Before Hoseok could finish his sentence there's a knock at the door. With that you can hear Jungkook yell 'Ill get it' from the living room. The three boys look at each other. They heard heavy foot stops coming quickly to the door. A bit a panic crosses the boys faces, unsure of what to expect. The door swings open.

"Yoongi?"
Tae looks at the boy. He has his hands on his knees and you can tell he came running. He's out of breath. His green hair is covering his face. He glares at Hoseok. He's still breathing heavily. Hoseok scoffs. He knew Yoongi would pull this. All to protect Tae, like if he was a kid. When was Yoongi going to learn he can't protect him? When will it click?

Yoongi lifts himself up.
"Hey."
He says with a heavy breath. The boys stare at each other, not knowing who should talk first.
"So, uh, anyone wanna tell me why we all met at my house?"
Tae starts to put his stuff away along with the help of Jimin who wasn't sure what was going on.
"Ah well I just wanted to hang out because I missed you guys."
Yoongi looks at Hoseok with 'that look' making sure Tae and Jimin didn't see. Jimin and Tae on the other hand, were facing the desk, so at the moment they couldn't acknowledge the tension going on between Hoseok and Yoongi. Both of them stared at each other, making sour faces at one another. Tae and Jimin turned around, and suddenly both Hoseok and Yoongi had the biggest smiles on their faces.

"Let's go outside. It's a beautiful day and we should enjoy it."
Tae smiles as he looks out he window while the sun shines on his face.
"Yea! Let's go!"
Jimin smiles and leaves the room. Tae puts the chair away. He walked to the door. He was half way out before he pops his head back in.
"You coming?"
He looks at the boys.
"Yeah, let me catch my breath real quick." Yoongi turns to look at him and grins. Tae nods and leaves the room.

They are quite for a while, to make sure that Tae had moved far enough. Hoseok scoffed and headed towards the door. Yoongi grabbed his arm.
"I'm not done talking to you."
"There's nothing to talk about."
"But there is."
"Not really. Can you drop it? I didn't tell him, alright?"
"Yea, now, but what's going to stop you from telling him tomorrow, or later? Why are you in such a rush to let him know?"
"Because he doesn't have time! She doesn't have much more to give! SHES GONNA DIE YOONGI."
"Shut up, you don't know that."
"YES WE DO, WE KNOW IT FOR A FACT SHE DOESNT HAVE MUCH TIME LEFT AND YET YOU-."
"Lower your voice."
Yoongi looks at the ground. Hoseok has his mouth gaped. His arm were up and to the side and he give Yoongi a look. As if the words he was saying weren't staying with Yoongi. Hoseok puts his hands down to the side and sighs heavily.
"She's dying, Yoongi. Please, let him see her, ok? I know you're trying to protect him, but you're really causing more harm."
"She's my mom too."
"I know."
The boys look at each other in silence.
Jimin, who heard everything, walks away from the door. He doesn't know what to say so he just walks to Tae.

"Alright, I'll tell him tomorrow."
Yoongi let's out a sigh.
Hoseok smiles.
"Ok."
He hugs Yoongi.
"Sorry I yelled at you Hoseok."
"It's ok man, you're not in the best spot either. Just, tell him the truth and I'll hold your hand if I have to."
They smile at each other.
"Ok, let's go join the others."
Hoseok wraps his arm around Yoongi's shoulder and they walk out the room.

Hey kids, um, I'm not sure what to say. But hopefully with my little clue you were able to find out who exactly Hoseok and Yoongi have been talking about. Hopefully it will click later on in the chapter. I know I haven't been posting as often, but I'm trying. Hopefully I can write more over break. Bye for now.
