HoSeok

I could finally let out my breath as the two ladies walked out of the boutique, it was such a stressful moment for me because I couldn't remain calm in the presence that I never expect to meet and the sudden revelation of SeokJin's fiancee who is also the makeup stylist for this project and she is also Wendy's friend from university and she is going to be her maid of honour for their wedding that is going to happen right after this project ends.

It was too much of a shock but Wendy being in the same room as I am too much for me to handle and I sat down on one of the couches. "HoSeok, are you alright?" JiMin asks me and I nodded my head. "Your face is totally red though."

I touched my cheeks and it was burning red. "He is really red, is the temperature in the room too warm for you? If not, I can ask the staff to turn down the temperature for you." NamJoon asked and I shook my head, I wasn't feeling hot of any sort.

"I'm sure that it is not about the temperature in there, all of us have no problem enduring the temperature in there, in fact, it is a little cold, to be honest." Suga poked right in the spot. "It is because of her that he is like this."

Yes, it is because of Wendy... "Wendy? You have a thing for her?" Taehyung asked, totally not expecting this from me. Throughout all these years that we have worked together and lived together, I have never fallen for any girls and there wasn't a girl that I had the hots for and this is the first time that I actually had romantic feelings for a female.

"Yes, he has been liking her from the first time he met her at the coffee place just a few buildings away from the company, you know that coffee place with the good coffee and sugar-glazed doughnuts? The owner of that café is her friend and one of her roommates." JiMin said and all of us just stared at him without knowing what to do, he definitely spends a lot of time searching for beautiful women everywhere he goes to. "I merely just visited the café a few times and I saw Wendy there as well, she told me that she was good friends with the owner and she recommended me their signatures and I brought home for you guys to share."

"Hyung, you are definitely a stalker," JungKook speaks after staying quiet all this time, he is like this and I have gotten used to it already, if he has nothing to talk about, he would stay quiet and slowly drift off to his imaginary world that I have no idea how it works. "So you guys were on a date at that time? I thought that it was getting too real."

"That really wasn't a date, she dragged me there to solve the issue and she left right after, we technically didn't have a date or had the plan to have a date." I tried to convince them that the alleged date that night was just their misunderstanding and nothing really happened that night, she didn't even have dinner with me. "I wished that it was a date though." My eyes widened as soon as I realized that they could hear my thoughts and that I have said it that loud.

Shit... I could literally imagine them shouting and yelling for victory as I slowly crouched down for cover and a place to escape from this embarrassment and I was saved as the two ladies entered the boutique again looking at the others with a confused look on their faces. "Did I miss anything important while we were gone?" Yeongwon ssi asked and turned towards her fiancee. "Don't tell me that you are goofing around with something secretive that you wouldn't tell me?"

"No, it is not that. Do you know that HoSeok has a thing--" I cut him off screaming at the top of my lungs. "What is wrong with you? Why are you screaming like that?"

My eyes scrambled for an answer and I looked towards the empty wall in front of me, I pointed a finger towards it. "Spider, there is a spider right over there!"

All of them turned their heads towards the empty wall and there was nothing on the wall, I made that up of course in order to avoid SeokJin hyung telling Wendy that I like her. I would love to tell her my feelings for her but I don't think that my heart is ready for her to break if she ever breaks up with me.

"Oh, the spider escaped, I didn't know spiders move around that quickly and also because that they have 8 legs." I laughed awkwardly. "Sorry that I overreacted like this, I have a huge fear of spiders since you can see."

"I didn't see any spiders around here though, something must be wrong with your eyes." Suga hyung blankly stated and I cleared my throat. "And your throat, you need to drink a lot of water to keep yourself from having a sore throat."

"I don't have a sore throat, thank you for being so concerned once in a blue moon." I glared at him and he just showed a blank expression. "Shouldn't we try on the dresses now?"

"We should." Yeongwon ssi linked her arms with Wendy. "We will see you shortly." And she turned towards all of us. "And don't you guys dare to choose coloured suits, I will definitely not allow this at my wedding." And they went off to the female side of the boutique to choose their dresses.

I heard a clearing of the throat and I turned around, NamJoon was crossing his arms over one another. "So the spider trick, huh? When are you going to delay that confession for Wendy? It has been a while since you have become friends and you have been incredibly close to her the past few weeks, it is totally time for you to pop the question to her."

"But--" SeokJin hyung cut me off. "But what? I don't see anything wrong with this and you are definitely allowed to date anyone you like, you are reaching the age of 30 very soon and Bang PD wouldn't come running to our dormitory with a chopper in his hand. I am already getting married and Bang PD didn't even oppose me marrying someone who isn't a celebrity as I am."

"But still, I am not ready for this. What if she doesn't like me and only treats me like a friend? I don't want to get rejected like that and I definitely want to stay friends with her."

SeokJin hyung rolled his eyes at me and crosses his arms. "So you are going to pretend that you don't feel anything for her until the end of your life? Someone is going to love her before you even decide to make the moves, Wendy is a lovely person and she doesn't have any lack of suitors who want to date her, she doesn't have the desire to date anyone at the moment and that can change any time the moment she meets her Mr Right and gets married to that man, you won't stand a chance at that point of time because you have already missed your chance."
