A Dangerous Path

A/N Serious Jung Hoseok hits hard, ya'll!

Hoseok's PV

I arrived home unable to keep the smile off my face. I finally talked to her. After watching her from afar for so long, I decided to let myself be seen. And the reception was more than I could have ever hoped for.

I walk past my six brothers, knowing they are watching me. Knowing they are judging me. I wasn't going to try and fool myself into believing they were unaware of what I did. Of course they knew. But I wasn't going to give them the satisfaction of letting them see that I am fully aware I pushed some boundaries. I take a seat on the couch beside Jungkook, who is looking at me with more awe and wonder than criticism.

"Hey, boys, how was everyone's day?" I ask nonchalantly, picking at my nails.

I feel Jungkook shift beside me. "Not, as good as yours went, I'm sure," he snickers beside me. The youngest looks to the other two younger siblings, Taehyung and Jimin, and they all start laughing.

Someone clears their throat and I look up to see Namjoon staring me down. "That's enough. Hobi, I think you and I need have a talk together. Alone."

I sigh. I knew he was going to say something, but I also wished he would just let me be. I was feeling so high, and I didn't want that mood killed.

I look around to my other two brothers. Yoongi just gazes at me with an unreadable expression, while Jin, the eldest of us, looks disappointed. That hit me harder than I expected. Even though he was the oldest of us all, he never tried to exercise power over us. That was Namjoon's job. Jin was usually the fun, goofy one, who enjoyed pushing the envelope a bit, but was always very caring. But to see the look that resided in his eyes now, made me quickly look away in shame.

The youngest three groan, but are pushed firmly out the door by Yoongi. They all shuffle out of the room, Jungkook glancing over his gossamer wings, his eyes wide with curiosity.

Once the door was shut, Namjoon moves over and takes a seat on the table in front of me. "I don't even know where to start," he shakes his head, curling his lips inward. "I guess, firstly, what in the world were you thinking?!"

"You don't need to worry about it, Joon," I quietly reply, refusing to look up at him.

"No, no, I think I do need to worry about it. You were with that girl all day," he said.

"Yeah, so what? We are allowed to be seen by humans, Namjoon. I didn't do anything wrong."

"You know damn well I am not referring to just being seen. You spent hours with her, talking to her, laughing with her. Touching her."

I lean back against the couch, looking away from him. I fully admit he is a great leader, but right now he was just pissing me off.

"Hoseok, you're playing a very dangerous game," He says in a low voice.

I move my eyes over and give him a hard look. "I know what I'm doing, Namjoon."

He clenches his jaw and rolls his eyes. "Allowing yourself so much closeness to humans, to this girl, can cloud your judgment."

"I was protecting and comforting her. She needed that."

"Oh, was that all? Comfort, protect, love, but do not fall in love-"

"I know the creed, Namjoon! You don't have to recite it to me!" I snap at him.

He stares at me for a moment, his mouth set in a hard line, eyes narrowed in anger. "Yeah, because you are following it so well, it appears."

"I know what I'm doing!" I yell, standing up.

"Yeah, that's what I'm afraid of," he answers back quietly. Namjoon gives me one last look and shakes his head, "Just remember the cost," then walks out of the room.

A/N I know, I know, not very long, and was kind of a filler chapter, but I wanted to have this be it's own part. Don't worry, things are going to get good! (Oh, no did I just set the bar too high? Now the pressure is on! I don't want to let you down!) Please remember to vote and if you're enjoying, share the love with others!
