My Baker's Dozen

Jihoon's POV

"Hoshi hyung, I'm tired." I whined, but he just put his arm around my shoulders. We were walking home, but it was just the two of us. Everyone else went home earlier since they didn't have a reason to stay. I wanted to try and work on my own project, and Hoshi hyung was doing his own dance thing.

"Me too, Jihoon. Me too. Do you want to stop anywhere on the way home?" He asked, and I looked at him skeptically.

"Where would we go?" I questioned in return, and hyung started to smile.

"Anywhere within reason and 10,000 won." He responded, and he held up the bill.

"Where did you get that?"

"I found it in the hallways after school. Someone must have dropped it." He answered, and I could tell he was kind of proud of it.

"It might be a good idea to head home first and drop off all of our stuff so Appa knows we're out. Instead of Seungkwan hyung telling him." I suggested, and Hoshi hyung nodded.

"We could also change into something else." He added, and we both started walking a bit faster.

"Could it be just the two of us though?" I asked quietly, and Hoshi hyung nodded with a smile.

As soon as we got into the house, the two of us ran into our room and started getting dressed into something more comfortable. I could already smell someone making dinner, so the chance of us being able to leave was slowly diminishing. At least I have my homework done.

I took one last glance at Dk hyung's empty bed before the two of us left the room. As expected, Appa and Jeonghan hyung were making dinner and Samchan were playing around in the living room while Wonwoo read.

"Appa, could Jihoon and I go out for a while? We'll be back before seven." Hoshi hyung asked, and I could see Appa considering it.

"Okay, but be safe. Dk is with Minseo, and Minghao is home in his room sleeping." Appa said, and we nodded.

"Got it. Love you, bye!" We both said at the same time before giving him a quick hug and running out of the house before anyone could ask to come along.

"Where to first, Jihoon?" I thought for a second but then pointed in the direction of the street performers. They're only ten minutes away, and we love seeing them, but we never have time.

"Street preformers?" He asked excitedly, and I nodded with a smile. Hoshi hyung grabbed my hand and started running down the street to get there faster. Eventually we had to stop running since the amount of people on the streets increased, and he let go of my hand.

The air was filled with the smells of fresh food being cooked by the street vendors, and all you could hear was the cars speeding by and the music up ahead. It's understandable why we never come here with Appa, there's way to many of us and someone is bound to get lost in the sea of people.

"Oh this is awesome." Hoshi hyung whispered in awe, and we weaved our way through the people so we could see the preformers. The first one that we stopped at was a guitarist and he was very good. We watched him for almost twenty minutes until I spotted a dance group for Hoshi hyung to watch.

They were amazing. The group overall was only doing covers of popular songs, but their synchronisation and how on point they were made them stand out.

"I want to be able to do that one day. Just dance out in the open for the world to see." He whispered to me, and I could barely hear him over the noise, but I leaned my head onto his shoulder to acknowledge him.

"And you will be amazing at it. I'll be in the front row to watch you everytime." I could see Hoshi hyung smile, and he put his arm around my shoulders.

"Really?"

"Always."
