Long Odds-Vhope

Chapter 4

Hoseok turns to look at Taehyung and finds him looking at him and when their eyes meet, the younger looks away, his hands on his lap, head held low and Hoseok found himself apologizing, as if his tongue got its own mind

"I am sorry for not showing up yesterday" Taehyung looks up at the elder

"it's ok. N-Noona told me y-you had a meeting, how did it go?" Taehyung curses himself for stuttering

"ahhh, it went well, we got the deal" Taehyung looks towards his left to see the slight twitch of elder's lip when he mentioned that and that made Taehyung smile

"C-Congratulations" Hoseok looks at the younger who was sporting his boxy smile at him and involuntarily Hoseok's hand raises to pat Taehyung's hair

"Thank you" he says while patting it, but once both of them realize it, Hoseok's hand comes back to his side in lightning speed and he clears his throat while Taehyung tries to hide his face by looking at his lap, he could already feel fluttering butterflies in his stomach.

Hoseok was cursing himself for what he did just now, it was completely out of his character to do that and to top it all, it was their first meeting, this is not how it was supposed to be. Thank god, no one saw this, specially his nosy hyung, who would never leave a chance to irritate him

Taehyung was biting onto his lower lip, while looking down at his lap, his face was heating up and the person sitting next to him made it even worse, he was supposed to be disappointed at the elder for not showing up yesterday, but here he was blushing at a mere touch, this wasn't supposed to be like this, its their first meeting, he was basically a stranger.

They were brought out of their thoughts when the car comes to a halt. Hoseok steps out of the car and comes to the other side and holds the door open for taehyung.

Taehyung steps out of the car and breaths a sigh of relief when he sees that it wasn't any posh restaurant, instead it was a small but elegant café. He looks at hobi

"I thought you might feel comfortable here" hobi says, looking taehyung up and down

"T-Thank you" taehyung says, his insides fluttering again at Hoseok being considerate

"lets go" hoseok says and waits for Taehyung at the entrance, as taehyung walks to him, hoseok holds the door open for him and they both enter, and instantly Hoseok was attracting attention from everyone in the café.

That's when taehyung thought that, now Hoseok was overdressed for this place, but looks like it wasn't any of his concerns at all.

They were sitting opposite to each other, that's when taehyung notices the elder's face, it looked perfect, his face was long and flawless, and that pointed nose makes it well defined, he has mole on his upper lip which were of perfect pink color and his jawline was just perfect against that black turtle neck and his dark brown looked so soft and were tempting him to touch those. But his eyes were something that caught Taehyung's attention the most, they looked sad and lost, there was not an ounce of happiness in them, they looked disturbed and tired as if they never had a peaceful sleep in a long time.

Hoseok looks at the younger, who was busy reading the menu, he was a bit tanned which made him look different but he could see that they had a lot in similar, even though the boy smiled t everyone and everything, he knew there was something about that smile which wasn't that genuine, as if he wanted to smile but something always stopped him, maybe some thought or someone. But his noona was right, the kid was adorable, not that he was going to admit it to anyone, he accepted it himself was more than enough. And he has no idea why he was calling the man he was going to marry, "a kid" which he clearly was not. But his features forced Hoseok to call him so.
