You Are Loved ◦ JungHope

Part 14

The past couple days, Hoseok and Jungkook had just been lounging around the house and the beach, doing practically nothing at all and Jungkook loved every second of it. There were challenges, things that came up that would bring them both down, but there was nothing too big that the two of them couldn't work through.

Jungkook found himself smiling with these thoughts as the two of them walked along the beach. Hoseok splashing his toes in the water with ever step, eyes glued to the ground in search for seashells. "What are you thinking about Kookie?"

"Hm?" Jungkook was brought back to the moment with a playful bump to his shoulder. "Oh...just about how much I don't want this to end."

"Don't want what to end?" Hoseok asked, bending down to inspect a small shell.

Jungkook crouched down with him, playing with a broken shell by his feet. "You know, this trip. Us hanging out a bunch. You..."

Hoseok smiled, moving to stand up again and offer Jungkook a hand. "We can always go on another trip Kookie, and I'll still hang out with you, I mean I am living with you right now."

Jungkook accepted the hand, hauling himself up before they both resumed their journey in the sand. Jungkook chuckled. "Yeah, you're right. What were you thinking about?"

Hoseok shrugged, his gaze shifting from the sand to the ocean. "Just about...nothing."

"Oh it's something. I know that face." Jungkook smirked when Hoseok giggled lightly.

"Caught. But really Kookie, it's nothing." Hoseok tried again.

"You don't have to tell me hyung," Jungkook stepped so he was walking just a little closer to the elder, enough so that their fingers could brush ever so slightly with each stride. "I'm not going to force you, but you know you can talk to me about anything, right?"

Hoseok looked back towards him then, a small smile on his lips. "Yeah, I know. I trust you." He took a deep breath, holding out his pinky. "I trust you but that doesn't mean that you won't judge me. So, pinky swear you won't? No judging?"

Jungkook hooked his own pinky around the elders thin one before stamping their thumbs together, "I promise hyung."

Hoseok nodded, when their hands dropped, Jungkook felt his heartbeat quicken when he realized Hoseok wasn't letting go of his finger, and Jungkook bit his lip to keep his smile at bay.

"Alright well, I was thinking about something silly, but it's been on my mind for awhile now...you might not like it...though..." Hoseok started hesitantly.

"What is it hyung?" Jungkook asked, and with the silence that followed, a wave of understanding washed ashore. "Does it have something to do with...him?"

Hoseok nodded slowly, looking down as the water touched his toes and left just as quickly, over, and over again. "I was thinking about...you know...sex."

Jungkook tried, he tried not to choke on his own air but he was not expecting that.

"S-see? You think it's stupid." Hoseok defended, walking faster and Jungkook shook his head as Hoseok's ears burned red.

"N-no Hobi hyung! It's not stupid at all! That's actually healthy to think about that kind of stuff, especially after a break up. I was just...caught off guard is all." He offered a reassuring smile. "Do you want to talk about it? Was it...did he..." Jungkook's chest tightened just asking. "Did he make you do things you weren't comfortable with?"

Hoseok shrugged. "It was nothing that I didn't say yes to already. But...I was just...I was wondering what it might be like with someone else. Someone who wasn't...who treated me the way that...you know." Hoseok's blush only deepened in color. "The way that you treat me."
