Diary of The Infinite

62| Beginning

"Hey Jiminie." Hoseok smiled.

I smiled back, continuing to sort the rack I'd been running.

"Morning Hoseok."

"How's business?" He grinned, leaning against the rack with nonchalant ease.

"It's slow and you know it." I laughed at him and he grinned back.

Happy Hoseok was nice.

"Well it's your break now, so let's go. I'll buy you lunch."

I followed happily, this was really nice. I quieted myself when he received a call and trailed behind to give him privacy.

"Thank you so much!" He beamed, practically dancing with excitement as he clicked off. "Jiminie! I got an apartment!"

"Really? That's so great hyung! Good for you!" I smiled. "Well now I'll buy lunch, moving is expensive."

"No, Jiminie that's too nice."

"I insist." I insisted, we went to a little hole-in-the-wall restaurant across the street and I followed Hoseok to the back. The food was really good and I asked Hoseok how he'd been settling in.

"Well, I can settle better now that I can move into my own apartment. I'll miss Changkyun though, but we'll obviously still see each other."

"And there's always new friends to make. With your neighbors." I supplied.

He nodded happily. "I love making new friends! Just like you Jiminie."

I felt my heart swell in my chest, we're friends! I'm so glad we're on good terms because Hoseok is really very nice. Somehow he managed to pay before I could, it was a blur. But I pouted until he agreed to let me pay the tip and we left to get back to work.

Yoongi was walking out as we made our way inside.

"Yoongi! What are you doing here?" I leaned into him for a hug, but he was stiff against me. "Yoongi?"

"I wanted to take you out on your break. But you were already gone." His voice sounded strained and he was looking at Hoseok with unmasked hatred.

"Yoongi," I tugged on his sleeve. "Don't be upset, he got an apartment and wanted to celebrate."

"I know what he wanted." Yoongi said darkly.

I stepped back. I didn't understand why he was so angry. I hadn't even hugged Hobi.

"Y-Yoongi." I whispered. "Whats going on?"

"I don't know, go ask your boyfriend." He snapped.

I stomped my foot to swallow back my tears. "That's what I'm doing."

He glared at Hoseok once more and left, hands digging into his pockets and staring icily ahead. The lack of response was like a punch to the gut. I felt the air knocked out of me. The air grew thicker with every step End took away from me. My mouth worked but no sound came out. I almost went after him.

"Jiminie," Hobi whispered. "You'll be late."

Work. Right.

I reluctantly willed my feet to move, away from Yoongi. Away from End. Hoseok pulled me into a hug.

"If you hug me for much longer, hyung, I'll cry." I managed.

He let me go and parted my hair. "Come on, Minnie."
