What Am I to You?

Part 5

"maybe I don't care. Maybe she's worth more than fame and fortune." and with that he took my hand from jimin and smile and walked off taking me with him and leave jimin staring.

Hoseok pulled me along down the studio hallway while I tried to let my brain catch up with what had just happened, but I couldn't. It was as if my feet were connected to my brain. I stopped dead in my tracks, stopping hobie with me. He turned to face me, trying to keep from grinning. "So what are we doing?" I asked trying to verify that I had heard him right before in the studio. "Well I'm taking you to your house so you can get ready for our date tonight." he said with a huge smile on his face. "We are really going on a date tonight?" "yes! We are!" he said again. He could barely contain his excitement. "What about if we are seen?" "so what if we are seen?! What's so wrong about being seen with the prettiest girl I know? If anything I'd be lucky to be seen with you" he said growing bashful. It was adorable in way. I heard the door slam behind us and turned to see jimin storming off the opposite way. "But....." I started. I should really go after him. He could be hurt. I should just tell him about jimin and I. He was my best friend and he would keep our secret. Right? "No buts...." he said. "I promise you...we will have fun." I caved. He just seemed so excited. And it was a friend date. What would be so different from when we normally hang out other than him calling it a date. Jimin would understand. He loved me and I loved him. Right? Hobie dropped me off at my apartment so that i could change out of my sweats and promised to pick me up in an hour. I sat down on my bed staring at my phone. Still no word from Jimin. "Maybe i should text him?" I thought to myself. I quickly tapped the keys on my phone hoping my words would reach him. There were only 3 words that i could think of.

"I love you!"

I laid back on my bed waiting for a reply only to be left alone in silence. Finally my phone buzzed. I sat up and quickly opened it only to feel slightly disappointed to see "Your ray of sunshine" scroll across the screen. Hobie had named himself that and i had promised to leave it on there even though jimin hated it. I didn't like him being upset but i prided myself on keeping my promises. ..so the name stayed.

"30 more minutes! Hope youre hungry! See you soon! "

I could almost picture his face beaming and immediately i felt guilty for feeling disappointed it wasnt Jimin who had text me. Then his words hit me....i only had 30 more minutes?! I still hadn't even taken a shower! I grabbed a pair of jeans and a tee from my closet and hopped in the shower only allowing myself 10 minutes to get in and then out. Some how i managed to blow dry my hair straight and change at the same time. I still had 10 minutes for makeup but when i looked at my reflection in the mirror i was not happy. My hair was ok but my outfit said "running errands and i dont care what i look like". I raced back to my closet and grabbed my favorite maroon lace dress throwing it on and taking another look...."Now it looks like im trying too hard" i mumbled to myself. I practically tore it off myself as i dug into my closet again. I found a faded denim dress with a little black belt and some white flats. I looked in the mirror finally satisfied. Why did it really matter what i looked like though? Hoseok and i were just friends hanging out right? I glanced at my phone. I only had 2 minutes to throw on makeup. I definitely didnt have time to redo my smokey cat eyes, contoured face, and crimson lips look that i now wore all the time. Jimin loved it. He said i was his sexy vixen when i did that look and i had worn it ever since. At first the others were a bit stunned with the look but they got used to it. I wonder if they would even recognize me without it.... I almost didnt. Instead i went for a more natural look. With a nude eyeshadow, a couple coats of mascara, and a natural lip tint. I looked so natural, but it suited me. I had just grabbed my purse and phone when there was a knock on my door. I ran to open it to a smiling Hobie. As soon as he looked at me his smile faded. "what?!" I said quickly covering my face. "Do i have something on my face?! Should i go change?!" I turned to go back in and fix whatever was wrong, but he took my hand and held me back. "You look beautiful.....like the first day we met." His smile was back but more shy. I could feel my face turn red. "Thanks" I mumbled. "So where are we going?" I asked trying to get the attention away from my flushed face. "Well...." He grinned. "I have the rest of the day planned. So the real question should be 'what are we doing first'." I couldn't help but smile. He was just so excited. We got to his car and he opened the door for me and bowed "ladies first" he said. I giggled because he did it exactly the way he had in war of the hormones. His smile grew knowing his efforts to make me smile worked. Only Hobie could make me smile so easily. Not even jimin could have me smile without trying so hard. Thinking of jimin i couldnt help but take me phone out to see if he had messaged me back. Still nothing. I felt a slight pain in my chest almost like it was squeezing my heart. Before i knew it my phone was in hobie's hands. He quickly shut it off and handed it to me. "Hes not going to text you." He sighed handing the phone back to me. "I already told him i was keeping you today.... Its not like hes your boyfriend. He's not going to even be slightly bothered that one of his fans likes another member....he has so many." I looked up at him. "Hobie i...." "Plus he said it in the gym. He doesnt like you....not like that. Arent you tired of being in a one sided love?!" The squeezing returned. He could read the hurt on my face. I wanted so badly to tell him....tell him that jimin did care....that i was his girlfriend and he loved me, but something inside me swallowed all of those words and held them tightly. "I just want you to be happy. I want to make you happy." I looked up again only to meet his eyes. They were so clear and honest. I knew he meant every word he said amd my heart began to do flips. All i could do was nod. He smiled and started the car. "First stop on operation date here we come!" I smiled not knowing exactly what i was in for......
