Music is My Lover

Chapter 41: Joke Gone Wrong

The second third of the tour was less complicated than the first one. After two months in Europe, they headed towards South America and the time difference was half a day once again. It was ten at night in Seoul and you were exchanging a few messages with Yoongi before heading to bed.

You quickly took a pic for him before saying good bye. He smiled at it as you were cuddling with his character already in bed, but then he noticed your bare skin behind it. "Are you taking nudes with Shooky?" he teased you and another picture came in shortly after, no plush. His eyes widened and he replied hastily "I was just joking! Gosh, jagi."

"In your honor, since you can't sleep as you'd like. Good night! Enjoy" you messaged him one last time. He raised an eyebrow at your addition of a flirty emoji. He went back to his camera roll and looked at the photos you sent again. He didn't think much about these things, as usual, but with the distance and the fact that you hadn't seen each other in a while, this hit different.

"Yoongi hyung" he heard Hobi speak and instinctively covered the screen. What was with him and his awfully bad timing that he always showed up to make him feel uncomfortable. "What is it?" Hobi asked glancing at him looking all flustered and even slightly paler, as he might have seen something.

It didn't seem like it, Yoongi decided. He casually cleared his throat and shook his head giving him the idea it was unimportant. "What's up, Hobi?" he asked looking unfazed.

"I was going to go out and walk around for a bit before we have to head out, wanna come?" Hobi asked hopeful. Yoongi knew he really liked it here so he happily kept him company.

"Sure, why not" he went to the room he was sharing with Jin in the rented house where they were staying and grabbed his bag and camera to take some pictures of São Paulo.

With their masks and caps on, they made their way through the streets hoping to go unnoticed. "It looks like things have been much better between you two the last couple of months" Hobi started as Yoongi stopped to take a picture of the skyline.

As soon as he checked how the photo came out, he looked up at him "yeah, it's hard though" he sighed "we have four months to go" Hobi nodded.

"In three months it'll be a year too" Yoongi added deep in thought. Hobi was shocked.

"Wow, you hid it for that long?" the younger one was in disbelief.

"It was only three months, Hobi" his hyung said with a raised eyebrow.

"When did you meet her though?" Hobi questioned him.

"A while before. Leave it at that" Yoongi said and kept walking to avoid going into detail. He was not about to tell Hobi about his hiding that led him to be slapped. Then kissing you and running away. And the fact that you had to chase him for it all to work out because he was determined to walk away.

No, definitely not, his heart was racing just from the thought of any of them finding out. That was a mess he was not proud of. Maybe in a few years it would be an nice anecdote, but today was not the day, he concluded mentally.

They bought a couple fresh fruit shakes from a street stall before heading back to the house to get ready to leave for tonight's stadium. "Obrigado" Hobi said with a perfect accent to the woman that handed him the plastic cups. Yoongi chuckled as he took his.

"I'm excited about tonight, the fans here are so energetic*" the younger one said with a bright smile "do you think we should dance samba again?*²" he asked and they both broke into a little dance in between laughs with Hobi humming the rhythm.
