It’s late afternoon when Taehyung gets the invitation text.

He looks up at Hoseok who’s sitting on the opposite side of the couch as him in their shared apartment. The other is half paying attention to the variety show they have playing on the tv, half scrolling through twitter on his phone.

“Hobi.” Taehyung calls out, catching his attention. “Pre-season party at Nayeon’s, are we going?”

Hoseok’s brows pinch in confusion.

“Why’s Nayeon throwing a party for the soccer team?”

“No, it’s pre-season for all the fall sports” Taehyung clarifies. “So the soccer teams, lacrosse, cross country, volleyball, dance, et cetera.”

“Wait, the dance team’s gonna be there too?” He asks hesitantly.

Taehyung stares at him. “Well, yeah no shit. Nayeon’s throwing the party... Nayeon’s on the dance team…”

He stays silent for a while, eyes trained on his hands as he visibly contemplates the decision.

“Eh, I’m not really feeling like going out tonight.” He shrugs nonchalantly.

Taehyung sighs but doesn’t push it.

On the final day of school last year, Hoseok confessed to his long time crush and got shut down in front of the whole team. It took a pretty big hit on his confidence and he refused to get out of bed for a week after that. (Taehyung, being the best-best friend ever, stayed back from his family vacation to provide endless amounts of cuddles, movies and comfort food.) Anyway, said crush just so happens to be on the dance team and guaranteed to be at the party. Obviously Taehyung isn’t going to force Hoseok into a situation he’s not comfortable with, so some casual film binging at home seems like the way to go.

They settle in comfortably with some new action film Hoseok had been wanting to see for a while playing on the tv.

“You shouldn’t let him get to you.” Taehyung speaks up after a few minutes.

“Who?” Hoseok pulls his attention away from the movie, looking like he genuinely forgot what they were talking about.

“Jimin.” He answers. “You should be out there being the hot-ass meal-of-a-man you are. Show him what he missed out on.”

The elder snort, a smile tugging at his lips.

“Shut up, you dork.” Hoseok pulls the blankets off Taehyung’s lap and nods his head towards the kitchen. “No cuddles until you make enough popcorn to put us in a food coma.”

“Yessir.” Taehyung laughs as he pushes himself off the couch and heads towards the kitchen.

The majority of the team had already arrived and taken their seats by the time Taehyung finally got to the new meeting room.

It’s a pretty common practice to have a pre-season meeting before any practices actually begin, it’s typically for rules and expectations, fees, schedules, all that fun stuff. Taehyung’s pretty used to it by now after playing competitively for more than a few years.

“You’re late.” Hoseok whispers as Taehyung approaches him.

“Sorry, the owner of that cute little cafe by the university brought her dog in today. I got distracted.” He explains with a shy smile.

Hoseok chuckles under his breath as Taehyung takes a seat besides him.

The meeting doesn’t seem to have started yet and Taehyung is just about to chastise his roommate for scolding him when the door flies open and a tall, devastatingly handsome man walks into the room. His entire aura exudes confidence.
