fuck, i'm lonely •|vhope|• <eng>

11.

"Hey Hoseok."

Taehyung tiredly said, his hair still wet from the shower he took at the headquarter. His whole body numb from practicing days after days. He's been practicing nonstop for days now in order to get in shape and be prepare. He's actually pretty athletic, he's just lazy sometimes. He hasn't been able to visit Hoseok these days due to his extreme workouts routine. And to be honest, he kinda miss the bartender.

"I haven't seen you lately. Did you go to the gym?"

"Sort of."

Taehyung mumbles. Being an agent in FBI is not what Taehyung wants to talk about. There's this one time when he told some people about his job and it absolutely freaked them out. He still don't know why they're so afraid of him being an FBI agent. But he kept his job a secret, except from those he trust of course. He wouldn't want Hoseok to stay away from him, so it'll be better if he just doesn't talk about it.

"I see, you look fit."

Hoseok throws a smile at him. His smile is his charm and Taehyung is in love with it. It makes him feel so much better after those intense session. Taehyung smiles back with his signature box smile.

"Thank you."

"So, why haven't you visit me these day?"

Hoseok raises an eyebrow, his hands cleaning up glasses and cups. Taehyung blinks a few time, he didn't think Hoseok would notice or care if Taehyung goes to this pub or not.

"Mostly work, I've been...busy lately."

Taehyung speaks, trying not to make eye contact with him. Because he knows, if they do, he can't help but stare right into those dark brown dreamy eyes. Hoseok nods, finishing up with his cleaning.

"What would you like to drink today?"

Hoseok asks him with a smile on his face. Taehyung licks his lips, thinking what to get even though he always get Hoseok's special "Tequila Sunrise".

"The usual, I guess."

"Alcohol after exercising?"

The look on Hoseok face really spell out "Are you sure about that?"

"You did say you only make alcoholic drinks."

"Yeah but I didn't say I can't make other non-alcohol drinks, did I?"

Taehyung slowly nods after realizing the elder has a point. Hoseok grins at Taehyung's reaction, then preceded to make him a lemonade with a little bit of honey. Taehyung mouth turns into a "o" when Hoseok place a glass of cold lemonade in front of him.

"Lemonade is one of my favorite drinks."

Taehyung says after he took a sip of the beverage. It's good, but it's lemonade so there's nothing quite special about it.

"Really? Guess I'm good at knowing what people like."

He smiles, Taehyung blushes because of it. Hoseok has smile plenty before, but this time, it's so genuine that Taehyung has to blush. Hoseok gives him a warm look as he drink the lemonade, which also, make Tahyung flustered.

I wonder what he thinks of me...

He thought to himself. Sure, he could have read Hoseok mind since the minute he step foot in this pub for the first time. But, he respected his privacy as well as anyone else, so he never did read his mind. Then after a while, he met Hoseok a lot, almost daily and can't help but to wonder what the other think about him. 

Curiosity takes over him, he really wanted to know. If Hoseok thinks he's cute, then Taehyung would actually ask him out on a date. If Hoseok just wants to be friends with him, he'll respect that and won't go out of his lane. After a few minutes deciding, he has come to a conclusion that he'd have a peek into Hoseok's mind.

He looks at Hoseok, who's serving a customer sitting a few seats away from Taehyung. Taehyung straight up stare at the guy, but nothing happened. He's baffle. Has his telepathic ability broken or something? But then he take a look at the dude sitting near him, he can read that person's mind perfectly normal. Yet when his eyes focus back on Hoseok, still, nothing happened. He is completely blank. He couldn't understand why his ability won't work on this handsome bartender. He is beyond confuse right now.

What the actual fuck???
