In your dreams✔

“Okay hear me out, I think I have an idea.” Hoseok says when they get back to their apartment later that night.

They’re currently sitting on the floor of their living room, eating some late night ramyeon with soft jazz music filling up the room.

Taehyung scoffs, swallowing another bite. “Last time you said that we nearly got arrested.”

Hoseok rolls his eyes and repeatedly clicks his chopsticks in front of Taehyung’s face in an attempt to get him to take him seriously. (It does the opposite)

“No no no, listen, this one’s good.” He persuades. “It’s about beating Jungkook out for that spot.”

This catches Taehyung’s attention. He immediately perks up, eyebrows raised in intrigue as he looks patiently at his best friend.

“I’m listening.”

“So what if, and I know you’re gonna hate this but hear me out,” Taehyung rolls his eyes, not sure he likes where this is going. “What if… you yeet on over into his dreams the night before his designated ‘captain day’ –– give him a nightmare or something to psych him out.”

“C’mon man, you know I don’t do that shit.” Taehyung slouches. “That’s just straight up cheating.”

Hoseok’s face quickly morphs into one of confusion. “Taehyung, the guy stole the shoelaces from your cleats right before tryouts...”

“Yeah but–”

“He ran over your soccer ball with his car…”

“...okay fine, fair point.” Taehyung admits. “I still don’t know how I feel about that though… I’ll think about it.”

“Oh, yeah no, it was just an idea.” Hoseok shrugs as he starts picking up their empty dishes and taking them to the kitchen. “Besides, I thought it’d be pretty interesting to see what the fuck goes on in that kids head.”

Taehyung doesn’t answer. The elders words playing over and over in his head… he can’t help but be intrigued. What does Jeon Jeongguk dream about? And why is the idea of finding out suddenly so tempting…

Fucking Jung Hoseok and his stupid ideas.

“You wanna come in my dream tonight?” Hoseok asks with a yawn.

“Depends.” He smiles, eyelids feeling heavy. “Are you gonna dream of Jimin again?”

Hoseok’s face immediately flushes a deep red as he looks down at the floor.

“Look, dude, until you show up and tell me I’m dreaming, I have zero control over who or what happens in my dreams.” He tries to reason.

“You have to get over him Hobi…it’s been months” Taehyung sighs, hating the way Hoseok’s face falls at the comment. “Plus, I really don’t wanna walk in on my best friend dreaming of having se-”

“Oh my god please shut up it was ONE time.” He groans, covering his face in embarrassment.

“It scarred me for life.” Taehyung chuckles. “I never want to see you in those...circumstances...ever again, dream world or not. Especially not with the guy who broke your heart.”

“What can I say, I’m a masochist at heart.” The other sighs. “He’s not a bad guy you know? You can’t force someone to have feelings for you, and he was really nice about letting me down.” He defends. After a few beats of silence he speaks up again. “I’ll try.” He says. “To get over him, I mean. Yeah. Just… might take me awhile.”

Taehyung nods in understanding.

“I’ll be here for you the whole way.”

“Thanks Tae.” Hoseok smiles.

“See you in your dreams” Taehyung says before the two split off into their seperate rooms for the night.
