V SMILE

Hoseok looked at himself in the bathroom mirror. His eyes would always get so puffy whenever he cries. He exhales a big, shaky breath before applying some concealer and putting on his best smile, that smile immediately faltering when he becomes aware of what he's doing. The man struggles to keep the corners of his lips up.

With a deep inhale, he almost tears up at the sight of his reflection, so pathetic, he thought.

Brushing off his thoughts, he exits the bathroom.

He doesn't remember when this started, he doesn't fully understand why he's like this, but he's too good at it. He's a terrible liar, but he isn't lying if he doesn't say anything, right? Either way, he put on an act to be happy. He didn't want to bother or worry anyone. Now that everybody's used to it, he can't stop now, or else they'll get suspicious. That's why he begged Jin not to tell the rest of the bandmates. This way, life can go on as normal.

Where's Yoongi?

Despite being a bit shaken up from the night prior, business had to go on as usual. Today, he and Yoongi were scheduled to have the practice room to themselves for a special duet stage. The only problem was that he had waited in the practice room for over half an hour already, and the hyung was no where to be found.

A bored Yoongi can usually be found in the kitchen, and so the kitchen Hoseok went.

As expected, his hyung was sipping a cup of black coffee (after eating pancakes, cereal, and some watermelon), almost falling asleep in his cup as he had been working in the genius lab somewhere between 3:00 am-10:00am, despite falling asleep at midnight.

Why he'd participate in this self torture, no one would ever understand, but the man would do anything for music. Maybe he got up in the middle of the night to take a piss and got inspired by the toilet flush?

"Hyung."

"Mm?" Yoongi looked up at him, still in his half asleep daze. Cute, the younger thought. He noticed his cute pout, how his small eyes would widen in question just enough for you to see them sparkle, the way a faint blush would spread from his cute nose to his cute cheeks and to his cute ears. Just. Cute.

"Seokie?"

And that nickname. Even cuter.

"Ah," Hoseok recollects himself as he tries to remember why he had come here in the first place. "Um.. we were supposed to practice for the duet, it was going to start... half an hour ago."

"Oh right. Sorry,"
He awkwardly shuffles his now empty mug into the sink behind him. Turning back to his dongsaeng, he stretches his hand towards the other male. His response was a confused look.

"Take me there."

A confident gay.

"Oh, okay," Hobi smiled. He took Yoongi's hand in his own, walking him to the dance studio.

Yoongi had an interesting view on crushes, or at least, how he'd handle his own crushes. He found no use in acting coy and waiting for the other to make all the moves. If he wanted to pursue someone, he was going to do it his way. He'll do everything in his power to keep the sun shining, even if he was a fan of the rain.

They practiced all day. It was now around 7:30 PM when they decided to take a break before leaving at 8. Needless to say, our Suga wasn't holding up so well.

Taking a sip (or rather, a large gulp) from his water bottle, he took his time to admire Hoseok's sweaty frame. Starting from his hair... to his brow... to his neck... down to his biceps.. and..

elsewhere.

"Hoseok-ah,"

"Hm?"

"Why do you always do that?"

"Do what?"

"The thing where you always smile even when you're tired or upset. It doesn't work, at least not for me, I can see right through you. There's something on that mind of yours today, so just tell hyung what's wrong."

Busted, Hobi thought. He knew he couldn't keep it up for longer without anyone noticing, considering his lack of lying skills, but he didn't expect it to he so soon. He assumed no one would bring it up eitherway. On top of that, if he had to guess which one of them would question his behavior, the last person he'd think of would be Yoongi-hyung.

He really didn't want to lie, but he didn't want to worry him either, so,

"Yeah, you're right. Something has been bothering me, but I rather not talk about it today. I hope you understand."

"Of course, take your time," Yoongi narrows his eyes a bit, studying the man before him, "But hyung will always be here if you need anything at all, okay?"

"Thank you."
