Hoseok's Bride

Chapter 6

~Jiyeon~

"Um, Hoseok," I said.

Hoseok looked over at me. It was already time for him to head out to work once more. I wanted to talk to him but that didn't end up happening since I was too immersed in watching him work on music. I was fascinated by it all that I forgot about what I wanted to talk about with him.

When I didn't say anything, Hoseok said with a smile, "I'm kinda in a hurry."

"I'm bored," I said quickly and his eyebrows went up in questioning. "I—I don't have anything to do. I want to work but I can't because I quit after marrying you and I don't really have friends to visit too. I'm avoiding my father so I don't want to see him until I feel like it," I rolled my eyes at the thought of my father who happily ignored my opinion about marrying Hoseok. "I don't want to rely on you or your money too. I want to make money myself and I can't do that since...you know, we're married and all."

"So, what are you trying to say?"

I swallowed, "Is it okay if I...come, um..."

Hoseok leaned against the counter, his full attention on me. "Yeah, what?"

"Can I come to your workplace?" I blurted, trying not to think about how hot he looks right now. God, the more I see him, the more I'm starting to have weird feelings towards him. His smile, his looks, his sweet personality. Ugh. I hate myself.

Hoseok stared at me.

"It's just that I'm trying to be a good housewife and all," I continued to blab and opened the fridge, "I clean the place and even made lots of your favourite dishes but you're never home and when I see you, it's only for five minutes. You don't even take the food with you too and they go bad and I feel awful because I feel like I'm just leaching off you."

I shut the fridge and ran my hand through my hair, walking away from the fridge and away from Hoseok before saying, "I like this place. Your house is nice and big and very pretty but I don't have anything to do to the point I feel like I'm going to go insane. I know that you probably don't want me at your workplace but I just... I just thought I'd ask," I mumbled, eyes down at my feet.

I felt Hoseok moved and when I thought he'd left after my embarrassing rant; I heard the fridge door being opened and I glanced up to see Hoseok grabbing some of the things I've made and packed away in containers.

I stared at him, unable to move or say anything.

Hoseok closed the door behind him and looked over at me. We stared at each other in silence for a while before his lips curled into a smile that warmed me.

"Feel free to come any time you're lonely," Hoseok said, walking towards the door, "there's a reason I gave you our manager's number and the address to our company."

"I'm—I'm not lonely!" I shouted at his back. "I'm just bored!"

"Yes, yes, whatever you say." I heard his husky laugh as the door closed behind him.

~Hoseok~

"You look distracted," Jungkook said.

Hoseok looked over at Jungkook, his water bottle in his hand, "Do I?"

"Missing your bride?" Namjoon grinned.

Hoseok laughed but didn't say anything. He had sent his manager to check up on Jiyeon the other day and was told that she was seeing her boyfriend nearby. That made Hoseok really angry and he didn't end up coming home that night. He stayed at the other house with the members that night, saying that he's too tired and didn't want to go home since they were asked to be at the company by six.

When he heard that Jiyeon was bored, he felt angry again, knowing that she's probably going to see that boyfriend of hers. Hoseok decided that he needed to do something about it but it'll have to wait. He had many things to do so he needed to focus on his job and his members first.

He was surprised to hear that Jiyeon's been cooking and wondering if he'll let her visit him because she has nothing to do. He could tell it was because she was lonely without him and he couldn't be happier knowing that. It was a step forward.

The reason he haven't been taking the food that she's been making is because he was either on a diet or he just didn't know there was food in the fridge. Hoseok never eat in the morning since he needed to leave to work. He ordered many things since he knows that Jiyeon will be at home and he didn't want her to be starving. Plus, he always eat with the members too. That house was just a place for him to go to whenever he needed time to himself. He's mostly sleeping at the other house with the members but since he got married, he decided to move out for Jiyeon.

He can't be sure but he might have heard the sadness and disappointment in Jiyeon's voice when she was talking about how he doesn't eat her food. To avoid hearing that kind of tone, he'll do anything.

If things go well, she may even fall in love with Hoseok which will be a good thing because he's loved her for a long time.

~Jiyeon~

After Hoseok left, I sat on the couch fuming for a long while before getting up and getting ready. In order to look good for Hoseok, I needed new clothes so I head to the shops to buy something.

Hoseok left one of his many cards for me and although I hated myself for using it, I figured I should buy some nice and expensive clothes to wear when I'm around Hoseok and the members.

I didn't go crazy buying clothes that cost more than my wage though. While shopping, I couldn't help but notice the couples that were together. For some reason, my thoughts immediately went to Hoseok.

I shook my head to clear it. Don't be so touched just because he took the food that you made to work.

"Jiyeon!"

I looked over and saw Dohyun there. I couldn't explain the disappointment I felt inside and instead, smiled and waved.

"I cannot believe you're shopping at one of the most expensive stores," Dohyun exclaimed as we stopped by for a coffee.

My eyes rolled, "Just 'cause I'm Hoseok's wife and I need to look good."

Dohyun leaned over the table towards me, "So does that mean you have his card on you?"

I didn't like what I was feeling right now.

I nodded slowly.

Dohyun held his hand out, "Give it to me."

"What?"

"He's rich," he said, "He won't notice if a few thousands went missing. You're also buying things too so he'll think you're using it."

I scowled, "Are you seriously saying what I think you're saying right now?"

"You said that you didn't want to marry him," Dohyun pointed out, "did he persuade you by giving you his card?"

I could slap the guy if we weren't in public.

"I'm not giving it to you," I snapped. "I don't like the guy but giving it to you is wrong!"

Dohyun rolled his eyes, "I am right. You do like him!"

"I don't!"

"Then prove it!" he hissed.

Before I could even say anything, I was suddenly pulled to my feet. I glanced up and saw Hoseok there, wearing a cap and a black cotton face mask. I saw the anger in his eyes as he took in what was happening between Dohyun and I.

Dohyun sat there, eyes wide.

"This," Hoseok said, angrily, gesturing between Dohyun and I, "ends here and now."
