Falling (BTS J-Hope FF)

A new Face

A/N Speechless. How is he, they, even real???

Hoseok POV

I landed outside her home, ready to burst through the front door. Hearing her call out to me had my body feeling like every nerve was alive and buzzing. I felt twitchy and unable to hold still. I shook my hands out trying to ease this feeling. 

She walked past the living room window and looked outside, holding a steaming mug in her hands. Her beautiful mouth was pulled down with worry. Something was bothering her and I wanted nothing more than to rush in and gather her in my arms to give her all the comfort I could offer.

But I knew I had to hold back. First off, I shouldn't know where she lives. She thinks I'm just an average guy, and average guys don't just know girls' addresses without them giving it to said guy. 

Second, if I came busting through the front door like a swat team, that might raise some alarms as well. No, I needed to calm myself and observe until I could come up with a good plan. Because, honestly, I was going to find a way to have her back into my arms.

I began pacing through the snow, though my steps didn't disturb a single flake. Glancing up occasionally, I would watch her take a sip of her drink and continue looking out at the white, nighttime landscape.

"How can you be so beautiful?" I ask, sending the question into the dark.

"Amazing how some of them can have such an alluring appeal."

I jump slightly at the voice that materialized at my right shoulder. I look over and see my brother, and best friend, Yoongi. He tilts his blonde head to the left watching Lex through the window.

"I can see why you've fallen for her, Hobi," he says in his quiet, low voice. 

"Did Joon send you?" I ask.

He gives a small shake of his head. "No."

We continue to stand there, watching the girl I love until she eventually turns out the light and disappears into the dark of the house.

"Hobi, I recommend taking a day to focus on your duties," Yoongi offered out of nowhere.

"I won't turn from her, Yoongi," I reply, feeling myself become defensive.

"I'm not saying you should," he countered, "I'm just saying, you should get yourself centered in who you are, then see her the next day. It's good to have breaks."

"But I-"

He put his hand up to me, stopping my rebuttal. "It'll get Namjoon off you back for a bit."

I sighed in defeat. He made a very good point. "Okay." I whisper, turning from the house.

Yoongi steps forward past me and waits patiently while I give one last, long look back. I turn back towards him and he places his hand on my shoulder and gives a small pat before we take flight.

Lex POV

I wake up and groan at my ringtone going off. I grab my phone and ignore the call from my aunt, effectively shutting off the incessant ringing.  I roll back over to try and sleep some more when my phone begins ringing again.

"Aunt Rose, I swear," I mutter, grabbing my phone again.

"What?" I growl without even checking the caller ID.

"Alexis?" I hear the voice question. 

I look at the screen of my phone and see it's my boss from work. Oh crap! "Oh, Gail, I'm so sorry, I thought you were someone else. What can I do for you?"
