Let Me Fix You || Hoseok x Reader

Chapter 23

"Are you sure you're okay with this?" Hoseok asked, gnawing on his bottom lip anxiously.

"If I wasn't then I wouldn't be going through with it." You smiled and patted the brunette on the chest lightly. "Yoongi wouldn't force me to do anything I'm not comfortable with--I'm okay to talk to him about this. Besides, I've got you for support."

"I know you're alright with breaking the news but I'm worried you might start to feel guilty. Yoongi is your best friend so, naturally, he has some sort of influence on your decision-making. He was really proud of you for taking the initiative to go through with this whole ordeal and I think he'll be at least a bit disappointed that you want to stop," Hoseok said.

"I won't sway. This is something I know I have to do," you replied firmly. "He's gonna have to learn to live with it in the case that he's feeling let down. If anything he might blame himself since he's the one who picked Aaron. I also have a particularly valid reason for choosing to stop, if I do say so myself."

"You aren't gonna guilt-trip him, right?" the brunette probed, squinting at you suspiciously.

"Of course not. Yoongi didn't mean for this to happen so I'm not gonna be unnecessarily bitchy. My reason isn't related to what happened," you reassured, rolling your eyes at the thought of being so petty.

"Wha--"

The sound of knocking at your door had Hoseok snapping his mouth shut, hands shoving into his pant's pockets. Despite the confidence you held regarding the turnout of this conversation, you still felt a bit nervous. Huffing out through your nose, you stalked over to the front door and opened it to see your best friend standing there in all his glory.

"The guest of the hour!" you greeted. "Come in, let's go to the living room."

Yoongi silently followed you into said room, taking a seat in your armchair as you sat on your couch. Hoseok also sat with you on the couch, probably a little closer than Yoongi expected considering the way he scrutinized you two.

"We need to talk about the plans we have set up right now," you began after Yoongi was making no move to speak.

"Can we not talk about that for just a second?" he asked.

You furrowed your eyebrows in confusion. "What?"

"Are you okay? It looks like you're fine to me but I haven't spoken to you since the phone call a few days ago...I need to know you aren't beating yourself up over what happened," he continued. "Everything that happened was the result of Aaron's choices--none of it was because of you."

"I know, you don't have to worry. I haven't been blaming myself or anything like that since the day it happened," you reassured.

After eyeing you for a moment longer, Yoongi finally looked satisfied. "What was it that you wanted to talk about?"

You glanced over at Hoseok quickly. He, however, had his eyes trained on Yoongi and it didn't look like he'll be looking anywhere else for awhile with how intense his gaze was. The shorter man noticed you staring at Hoseok and arched a brow at you, crossing one leg over his other and folding his hands together on his raised knee.

"I want to stop the lessons," you revealed.

Yoongi's expression fell, his eyes sad, but his voice didn't betray his inner feelings. "Why is that? You were doing pretty well with them."

"I just don't feel comfortable taking part in them when the end goal is for me to go on a date with another random guy," you shrugged.

"Is this because of Aaron? God, if I knew this was gonna fuck things up--"
