kiss me (finished)

010

the next day, hoseok didn't have any classes, which he was thankful for. he wasn't sure if he could face yoongi today. it wasn't like he was gonna stop being friends with him or anything, he still loved him, but he wasn't ready for that conversation.

he stayed in bed for a while, even after he woke up. he was brought back to the real world by his phone ringing.

"🌸Jungkook🐰" appeared on his screen, he sighed. hesitantly he answered the phone, "hello?" he said tiredly.
"hey hyung! are you okay?" his friend said concerned. "yeah I'm fine, what's up?" jungkook responded, "oh... okay, well we were wondering if you wanted to hang out today? we haven't seen you in a while." jungkook said eagerly.

"I don't know kook, I'm not really feeling it today..." he said honestly. a deep voice was heard from the other line, "WHAT DO YOU MEAN NOT FEELING WELL, HYUNG ARE YOU OKAY???" tae's voice boomed over the phone.

"not feeling It babe," jungkook explained. "oh... are you okay hyung? did something happen?" taehyung asked. "uh, no I just dont-" jimin now interrupted," hyung you stuttered, what's wrong. you can tell us." his voice became more clear, hoseok assumed he grabbed the phone.

he started tearing up again, and his voice became strained, "no, it's fine min..." now jungkooks voice, "we're coming over hyung, is that okay? please?" then jimin, " we wanna know what's going on" and now taehyung, "or at least help distract you," ....how could hoseok refuse.

soon enough the three boys appeared in hoseoks apartment, they all had keys. all of them were dressed in either sweat pants or fuzzy pants, cough jimin cough, and sweatshirt. "HOSEOKKKKK" jimins voice echoed through his building.

"hey guys," he said chuckling as the threw their backpacks full of God knows what on the ground. they joined him on the bed. "hyung, why are atill in your jeans, and why are they soaking wet?" taehyung asked, drawing the attention of the other boys.

"hyung tell us what's wrong," jungkook said shifting closer to hoseok.

after a long pause, he finally said," ....ikissedyoongi." it was quiet and quick, but heard. they all gasped and started asking a million questions at once. he couldn't only really hear when jimin asked, "wait, so then why are you upset?... wait hyung was he not your soulmate? I'm so sorry-"

"no," hoseok interrupted,  "yeah, he- he was my soulmate..." he said, hoping they'd catch what he was saying. "so, then what's the problem?" jungkook asked innocently.

"he, ran away, after I kissed him. he kissed me back, and, it was nice... really nice.... but then he ran away and he looked, so scared? and, I don't know, I just want him to be happy..." he said playing with his hands in his lap. "and he wants you to be happy, you can tell right?" taehyung added, leaning on his knees.

"yeah, I, I do know. he didn't look mad or upset at me in particular... I'm just, confused..." hoseok said shifting his seated position. "I just don't know why he, ran off..." he said looked anywhere but his friends.

"why don't you talk to him, you know he doesn't hate you and you definitely don't hate him." jimin asked curious. "I just, I don't know if he'll wanna talk to me, and I don't know if I'm ready for that conversation. I want to talk to him about it, but I don't want to make him uncomfortable..." he said honestly.

taehyung responded, "I get that hyung, but what about monday? you see him in the halls don't you?" hoseok nodded, "what then?"

"we'll cross that bridge when we get there," was his only answer.

silent fell between them, a comfortable one, due to years of being around each other. "can we, do something? or watch something? I've just been sitting in my bed all day and it's getting kinda boring..." hoseok said.
