6 Years - Hoseok x Reader (COMPLETED)

Chapter 5 - I Just Want to Talk

As the recital went on, you found yourself able to relax more and more. Jimin's contemporary class went up and did a beautiful dance, the rest of the ballet divisions came up as well, and then was Hoseok's turn. You watched him walk onto the stage and tap the microphone. Scanning the room, his eyes fell on you and he smiled in your direction. You offered a wave and listened as he introduced his group. With a roar of applause from the parents of the dancers, a group of about 15 kids flooded the stage, and the music began. The dance was fantastic, but you expected nothing less from Hoseok and his incredible dancing skills. It was truly a spectacle to watch his group, it was obvious how hard both he and his kids have worked for this.

The recital ended around 7 that night, and Jimin came out to the microphone one last time.

"We hope you enjoyed all of our performances tonight. We wish you a safe trip back home and a wonderful night. Thank you." He smiled as the room roared with applause again. You stood up from your seat, Taehyung following you with Hyo Bin still in his arms. Kids flooded from the back of the stage, running to their parents in absolute glee. You scanned the groups of kids, watching as they slowly started to thin out. That was when you saw Min Ja's little bun poking out from the crowd of their ballet group. Her eyes were sparkling.

"MOMMY!" She shouted, rushing over to you. You immediately squatted down, hugging her tightly as you scooped her up. "Did I do good!?"

"You did so well!" You squealed. "I got the whole thing on video! I'm so happy for you!" You quickly pointed towards Taehyung and Hyo Bin. "Look who came to see you." Her eyes lit up.

"Uncle Tae!" She squealed.

"Hey, princess!" He gasped. "Okay, niece switch, here we go!" He said, passing you Hyo Bin as he took Min Ja into his clutches. She quickly gave him the biggest hug she could muster. "You did such a good job! You must have practiced so, so much!"

"Uh-huh! Every day for a long time!" She added. You watched her head swivel back and forth for a moment before her eyes fell to you. "Mommy, where's Daddy?" You felt your heart sink into your stomach at that moment, as you tried to think of what you should tell her. You were silent for a moment, but you stepped closer to her and ran a hand through her hair.

"Daddy had something important to do...but he saw your dance." You gulped a bit, thinking back to what he had said to you earlier in the evening. "We can call him tonight, okay?" Min Ja looked a bit upset, but she nodded.

"Okay..." she said softly. She rested her head on Taehyung's shoulder, and he rubbed her back in hopes of comforting her.

"How about we all go and get some dinner?" he asked her gently. He glanced up and saw Jimin and Hoseok nearby, waving off all of their students. He caught Jimin's eye and the duo began to approach.

"Taaaaae~!" Jimin cried happily. Taehyung grinned, quickly taking his friend into a tight hug.

"Jimin-sshiiii~!" He grinned. "You guys did awesomely!"

"Thanks." He said happily. As the boys took a few minutes to catch up, Hoseok approached you. You were watching as Hyo Bin was pointing towards the stage, babbling something to you. You nodded at whatever it was she was saying.

"That's where Min Ja did her dance, yeah?" you hummed. She nodded in agreement. Your eyes fell over to Hoseok as he approached, and you smiled. "Hey." You said, quickly opening your arm to give him a tight hug. "Your group was absolutely amazing!"

"Think so? Thank you." He smiled happily. "They worked really hard, I'm really proud."

"Jimin might even give you another group of students to teach." You grinned. Hoseok chuckled a bit, a bit of red tinting his cheeks in embarrassment from your compliments. Checking the time, you knew you needed to get the girls something to eat and into bed as soon as possible. "We should probably get going. The girls are pretty hungry."
