Chapter 2~ Eye Contact

Min Yoongi had spent the entire summer trying to forget.

His bright smile, the way he got scared over everything, the feeling of his lips... everything. Up until today, he thought he had. When he walked through the school gate, he wasn't the least bit concerned about the possibility of seeing Hoseok again. In fact, it hadn't even crossed his mind. Today, Yoongi was more concerned about being on stage in front of the entire school.

Yeah, he would just be sitting up there, and no, he didn't have to give a speech like class president Kim Namjoon did. He knew that nobody would even be paying attention to him, but that still didn't stop him from being a nervous wreck. How had he let Namjoon convince him into joining the student council again? The two were best friends, but academic success and school involvement were more Namjoon's thing, not his.

So he chose to look down and tune the entire ceremony out. It was the only thing he could do to keep himself from walking off stage. He was sure Namjoon's speech was great, but he hadn't heard any of it.

And then he decided to look up, and he saw him.

Hoseok was staring at him, just straight- up staring at him, and all the memories started flooding back as he sat there. After he had worked so hard to block everything out, it all just came back to him in an instant.

They made eye contact for a few moments, and then he looked away, as if he hadn't realized he'd been staring. 

Did Hoseok miss him?

Did he miss Hoseok?

He definitely shouldn't have missed him. Not after he broke his heart at the end of the year and called their relationship a "mistake." Yoongi hated Hoseok for it. He had spent the entire summer hating him because it was easier than getting depressed over it. He just needed to continue hating him until the school year was over, and then they would graduate, and he'd never have to see him again.

But sitting here right now, and seeing him for the first time in months, Yoongi realized that probably wasn't going to happen. He couldn't hate Hoseok, even if he really, really wanted to. It just wasn't possible.

He missed him.
