Smile - JIHOPE

Chapter 5

Hoseok's POV

I woke up to see Heejin staring at me with a bright smile "good morning Hoseok!" She pushed my hair out of my face while I sat up. "Uh.. heejin.. what are you doing here?" She sighed, "hmph. Don't even say good morning to me.." she sat up, folding her arms and looking away "sorry, I just didnt know you would be here.. and you're awake very early.." she smiled turning back around, holding my hands "I wanted to see you this morning before dance~" I looked at the clock realising I didn't have long to get ready to leave. "That's nice of you.. but I do have to get ready.." I stood up, rummaging through the wardrobe, once I got what I wanted to wear I started to get dressed but got pulled down by an eager heejin "hoseok! Good morning kisses?? Pleaseee?" I sighed, pat her head and stood up "I need to get ready babe okay?" She huffed, walking out the room. "Finneeeee then mr grumpyyyy" I got changed and then went to make breakfast. Heejin went into the bathroom, and screamed running out "hoseok!! Whose makeup bag is this??" She chucked the bag onto the table, sniffling.

"What? Makeup bag? Is it not yours?" She scoffed, folding her arms yet again. "Im sorry but, the makeup in there is so simplistic... I use none of those brands!" I nodded, looking into the bag, there was a J keyring on the case. Wait a damn minute... is this... Jimin's...? Did he leave it here? It is a pretty small pouch.. i didn't know he wore makeup...

"Uh, I think my friend left it here.." she stared at me "what friend? You have female friends? Are you cheating on me?"

"What?! Heejin.. come on, you seriously think that?" She sighed, grabbing her bags and walking to the door. "Hmph! Dont talk to me. Im leaving." She opened the door but I ran up to her "hey. Look, its not like that, I promise.. to tell you the truth im more surprised than you.. I didn't know my friend wore makeup, but it must be because he's a dancer, stage makeup, you know?" Her gaze softened and she sighed. "Well tell your friend to get some better and brighter colours... thats terrible stage makeup.." she looked down, I broke out into a small laugh and ruffled her hair "silly, I will, don't worry.." she smiled, "I have to go to work now anyway Hoseok.." I nodded as she started walking off, waving. "Bye!"

I made my way back inside, eating breakfast and then I made my way to dance, with the pouch and my dance clothes.

When I got to the class nobody else was there yet or so I thought, there was still half an hour of waiting. I went to the changing room and saw that There was a locker door open

"Where is it.. I'm sure I packed it..." I turned to the side, and looked down an aisle seeing a distressed Jimin.

"Jimin.. hey.. whats wrong?" He jumped and looked over to me "ah! Hoseok!" He looked down, shaking his head "its.. its nothing.." he sat down on the bench, folding his arms tight to his body.

"Hm.." I sat next to him, smiling lightly "doesn't seem like nothing... by the way.. I think you left this at my place..?" He looked up to me and then at the pouch in my hand, a wide grin appeared on his face "..Hoseok..." he took it, standing up "I love you hoseok thank you!" He moved over to a mirror, opening the pouch.

"Yeah no worries.."

Wait

Did he say-

"I really got worried when I couldn't find it.. i cant go out there with a bare face.." he laughed awkwardly, doing his face.

"Why not?"

"Hm?"

"Why cant you go out there with a bare face..?" He stopped for a second, and shrugged "I just... dont want people seeing me looking so ugly.." I frowned, staring at him. I didn't realise he was this insecure about his looks..

"Jimin. What do you think is so ugly about yourself? Like seriously?" He put the items back in the pouch sighing. "I don't want to talk about this anymore.. shouldn't you be getting changed?" He put his pouch away. Shoving his bag in his locker. "Yes.... but-"

"Well then, i'll see you out there." He walked out, other people started walking in. Damnit jimin.. how blind can you be to not see your own natural beauty..

Jimin's pov

"I can't believe he asked me that..." I mumbled to myself, I felt angry and annoyed. He walked out and sat with other people, I felt hurt, my heart was hurting and racing so badly. Hoseok what are you doing to me..

Today's lesson was a group exercise, we didn't work on our partner project today, which was good but I also felt horrible. I missed him..

When the lesson ended, i saw him laughing and chatting with a group of boys, he never once looked at me or talked to me in this lesson, not once at all. I felt a hand on my shoulder and turned around to see Namjoon, he looked worried "..jimin... are you okay? You're crying...?" I nodded my head repeatedly, wiping my eyes "Yeah.. i'm fine.. i'm gonna go..? Okay?" He nodded, I rushed out the door, letting it slam behind me and ran into the bathroom, sinking down to the floor beside a cubicle, my eyes tearing up even more. I didn't even know why I was getting so upset or what came over me.

"I'll see you guys tomorrow! Bye!" That voice... it's Hoseok's... I put both my hands over my mouth to hide my sobs, I heard the sink run for a little but then i heard the door open or close. A sigh of relief left my body, he's gone.. I removed my hands from my mouth, wiping my eyes again

"...Jimin?" My head spun to my side, A gasped escaped my mouth as my eyes widened instantly, I wiped them and stood up, awkwardly walking towards the door to leave the toilets, but I felt a hand tug on me, pulling me back into a warm and comforting hug. "Jimin.. i don't know whats going on up in that brain of yours but.. whatever it is, I want you to know I'm here, I'm always here, i'll be your personal source of happiness and hope. Let me help you" my sobs continued, and my grip onto Hoseok tightened, we both fell down to the floor, still hugging. "Hoseok.. i..i'm sorry..." he pulled away, smiling fondly, wiping my tears away with his gentle thumbs "you clueless idiot... seriously.. ahh.. what am I gonna do with you.. you're so fragile.. now tell me, why are you upset?" I choked out a small smile, looking down "i just.. missed you.. i felt horrible when i walked out like that.. i'm sorry i just-" he frowned, staring at me still "Jimin, its okay, i just didnt know why you thought like that.." i nodded "so I misunderstood what you were trying to do.. I'm so sorry.." he shook his head, running his hand through my hair, I leaned into the touch, my eyes closing. "Don't be sorry you fool.. I didn't want to make you feel bad.. you have every right to be upset.. i was just concerned, that's all.." I opened my eyes and just stared at him. "I know that now.. thank you Hoseok.." We stayed like that for a while, holding hands, he drew circles in mine, my emotions had drained me, I was burnt out.

"Jimin.." hoseok whispered softly, pushing my hair out my face "you're sleeping... let me take you home.." I shook my head reluctantly "I have work.." he sighed calmly "i'll take your place, you need to sleep.."
