"so, why peter pan?" jeongguk starts, as they walked over a bridge

"well, i guess for me, i am exactly like peter pan. not to get so deep about why but, he's just so energetic and he doesn't have any fear in the world. and also because he never grows old. i want to be just like him. he didn't care about what people would say about him and stuff and- i'm rambling i'm sorry." hoseok stops himself.

"n-no! you're fine, hoseok-ssi."

"hyung is fine, jeongguk." hoseok replies as he turns a left.

"if you're peter pan, hyung. who's tinkerbell?" jeongguk asks, as he looks at the disney castle in front of them.

"i have a hyung who's exactly like tinkerbell. i mean, he doesn't have feelings for me, he has a boyfriend. but the way tinkerbell has peter pan's back all the time is exactly like how yoongi hyung is for me." hoseok smiles, thinking about how yoongi has always been there for him no matter what.

"that's great, hyung."

they walk in silence again before they've reached a small building.

"now, my coworkers aren't the best. well except for jimin. but other than that, the oldies are rude and i don't want them saying anything to you. so, is it okay for me to introduce you as my boyfriend?" hoseok gulps, as he switches from one leg to the other.

jeongguk almost choked on his spit as he processes the words hoseok just told him.

"what do you mean rude?"

"they like to think that trying to get in your pants is a joke. they've been doing that to jimin till i told them off that he was my cousin." hoseok says, as he frowns thinking about it. "and also, they'll be leaving this place once the weekend arrives and will be replaced by people my age at least." he adds before giving jeongguk a small smile.

"okay, hyung." jeongguk says, smiling up at him.

hoseok puts his hand out for jeongguk to hold and jeongguk blushes as he holds the elders warm hands. hoseok intertwines their fingers and held on to him firmly.

they walked inside the building and sees the guard.

"hyung! how's your day?" hoseok beams as they stop by the counter to get his locker key.

"same old same old, seok-ah. these darn kids keep coming through the door, running around like it's a track and field in here." the guard shakes his head in disbelief as he hands hoseok his key.

hoseok chuckles and jeongguk smiles.

"who is this fella with you, seok?"

"ah! hyung. meet jeongguk. my boyfriend." hoseok smiles, cheeks turning slightly pink, but evident enough for jeongguk to see.

"hi, im jeongguk. nice to meet you, sir." jeongguk says, bowing slightly to show some respect.

"no need to be so formal, im jeohun. please just call me hyung." jeohun the guard, replies

jeongguk nodded, smiling lightly at him.

"well i best be going to change now. ive been dying to get home." hoseok says before dragging jeongguk with him.

"your coworkers don't seem so bad?" jeongguk says

"oh i wasn't talking about him, bub. i was talking about them."

and as if on cue, the moment hoseok opened the door to the locker room, jeongguk heard some people shouting and rowdy guys older than hoseok.

a small firm and handsome looking guy happily skips to hoseok with an eye smile.

"hyung! i've been looking for you!" he says, before acknowledging jeongguk. "oh, hello! i'm jimin!" he smiles as his eyes disappear once more.

"hi, i'm jeongguk. nice to meet you, jimin-ssi." jeongguk replies, smiling back at him.

jimin nods and looks at their intertwined hands. he looks at hoseok and tilts his head a bit.

"oh, uh. you know how the guys are here, jimin-ah. he also lost his parents." hoseok says, blushing just a tiny bit.

jimin looks at jeongguk and jeongguk looks away. jimin giggles. "s-stop i- hoseok i-" jeongguk says, getting embarrassed and hiding behind hoseok's back. hoseok giggles along with jimin before two guys come up to the three of them.

"who's this baby boy?" a tall guy with a stubby chin says as he looks maliciously at jeongguk. hoseok immediately covers jeongguk with his body and looks at him sternly.

the cheerful hoseok jeongguk saw a few minutes back is now replaced with a protective guard.

"he's none of your business, taeho." hoseok says, calmly but he stands his guard in front of jeongguk.

taeho hums as he looks at jeongguk up and down. he nods back at his friend. donghwa smirks as he licks his lips.

"we'll see about that, hoseok." donghwa says walking up to jimin.

hoseok tries to move towards jimin but the moment he moves a step, taeho tries to get towards jeongguk so hoseok stays.

"i'm sorry." jeongguk whispers to hoseok.

"it's okay, baby. nothing to worry about." he replies. "yoongi hyung is here."

confused, jeongguk looks at the entrance and sees a guy almost the same height as jimin but taller, blonde, and is wearing all black.

"is there a problem here?" yoongi asks, arms crossed as he stares at donghwa.

taeho and donghwa gulps. "no, yoongi-ssi. just checking up on jimin and hoseok." taeho says, before walking away with donghwa on his tail.

"hyungie!" jimin smiles before rushing to yoongi's arms. yoongi wraps his arms tightly around jimin as he presses his lips on the top of his head.

hoseok smiles at yoongi and he nods back. "jeongguk? you okay?"

jeongguk looks at him with doe eyes and hoseok's stomach flutters.

"y-yeah, thank you hyung." he says, as he caresses his arms.

"you cold?"

jeongguk nods.

"i'll give you a hoodie later, okay?"

"hope-ah, you guys alright?" yoongi asks, approaching the two.

hoseok nods, giving the elder a side hug.

"this is yoongi hyung! my boyfriend!" jimin says, as jeongguk smiles at yoongi.

"well, i'll leave you guys to get acquainted. i'm just going to change out of this and i'll be back!" hoseok says, before smiling at jeongguk and walking away. yoongi smiles at jeongguk before speaking.

"so, do you like hoseok?"
