What Would You Like? || SOPE [COMPLETED]

The Slip of Paper

Hoseok's POV:
Hoseok had woken up in a hurry. He fumbled with his car keys and rushed over to the shop. He'd slept in and was late for work which was no surprise due to his schedule, but that wasn't what he was worried about.

He looked at his calendar and was reminded yet again that it was Thursday. To any normal person, he would seem crazy running around on an otherwise lazy Thursday. However, Hoseok's Thursday's were special because that was the only day that Yoongi would be there earlier than most times he visited the shop.

Hoseok made a wild dash from his car because of work and the excitement of meeting Yoongi again, but was stopped dead in his tracks when he saw him outside the shop. His back was facing Hoseok, with his blonde hair messy as always. He walk closer to greet Yoongi with a smile but then stopped once again. He closed his eyes and looked at Yoongi a second time. He was hunched over more than usual and was panting rapidly. Hoseok looked over Yoongi's shoulder to catch a glimpse of his face.

Something was wrong....

Hoseok's heart shattered. He saw Yoongi's expression. His eyes were laced with the fear of heartbreak and loneliness, a face Hoseok knew too well. He'd seen it many times in his mirror.

Yoongi was hyperventilating and sweating badly like the effects of a bad asthma attack. Hoseok rushed over to Yoongi's back and put his hand on his shoulder.

Yoongi's POV:
Yoongi was immediately shocked back into his own body and looked back at the person the strong hand belonged to.

Hoseok stared at him with an unreadable expression, however his eyes told a different story. Yoongi stared into his beautiful dark eyes that were laced with worry and pain.

"Yoongi..." Hoseok started as his hand moved down his shoulder down to his thin wrists.

"-Oh! Hoseok!" Yoongi yelped.

He had no idea that the man who grabbed his shoulder was Hoseok but in his mind he was secretly hoping for it. He wanted to be saved by him and was so happy that he couldn't help but smile.

"Late to work? Jimin always talks about how that's so like you!" Yoongi chuckled looking back at Hoseok and expected to see his beautiful smile, but he didn't.

Hoseok's expression hadn't changed one bit. He stared deep into Yoongi's eyes to the point where he felt like he had to break his gaze and looked to the side.

"Yoongi..." Hoseok repeated, with a more commanding voice as if he wanted his full attention this time.

"Yeah" He replied shakily. "What is it?"

"Are you really okay? You looked like you were having a panic attack. You also look a lot paler than usual. Like, A LOT paler."

"Yeah! Never better!" Yoongi said with forced excitement.

"Yoongi, we both know that you're NEVER energetic at this hour. What's wrong?"

'Shit. He's right. I really shouldn't have forced it.' He thought.

He honestly didn't want it to slip that he was hyperventilating because of Hoseok but he didn't want to lie to him again.

He swallowed his nerves and looked at Hoseok's worried expression.

"Okay, I wasn't feeling THAT great." He admitted with his face scrunched.

"Care to tell me why?" Hoseok questioned with his grip tightening on Yoongi's wrist.

"Umm...well..." His face grew hot and his eyes shifted.
"I wanted to...well, I was going to..."

Hoseok's POV:
He looked at Yoongi with a puzzled expression. He'd honestly never seen Yoongi display so many emotions in such a sort span of time. As Hoseok watched Yoongi stutter through his first few words, he couldn't help but notice how cute he was when he was shy.
