By Heart - A BTS Jhope Fanfiction

made with love

All of this feels so natural with him...the teasing, dancing from scratch, having fun and talking seriously about anything. I think I really fell for him. And... not like a fan. What I originally knew from him, was the person he was in front of the camera, on stage or what he was like with other people. But even though I can now say that I love both, I like Hoseok much better than JHope.

JHope's POV

It's been quite some time since Mina left me here. I'm getting nervous. Where is she?

Me: "Uhm, excuse me, Miss? Over here!" I wave at one of the waitresses. "Uhm, I'm sorry, but have you seen a girl with white sneakers leaving this place?" I get up as I speak. "She is about this tall and super-cute."

Instead of answering my question, she giggles softly.

Waitress: "Despite of your poor description, I know who you're talking about." She winks at me? "Just be patient. You surely won't regret it." With that she walked off behind the bar.

I sat down again. Be patient, she said. I thought Mina was the hungry one? And now I will end up starving alone. Whatever, I will wait for her.

To kill some time, I decided to describe the restaurant for me. Well, let's see. It's... small. No more than ten wooden tables maybe, each one with two red chairs in front of it. The tablecloth is beige-ish...something, with a red napkin to match the chairs. Many windows, it's not crowded, only one person aside from me is in here, typing silently on their laptop. Probably working. To be honest, this looks more than a café than a restaurant with the cakes displayed in the glassy fridge behind the bar...I gaze at the empty chair in front of me. Her Jacket is still there, at least.

"Hoseok!"

Mina's voice called out to me. Finally. I sigh a little in relief. I'm so hungry.

I turn left to find her approaching me with three bowls, a water bottle and a small flower vase on a tray. One bowl she places in the middle of the table. Soup?

The other one on her side and the last one in front of me. This smells awesome. After adjusting everything nicely and placing the tray on another table she turned to me.

Mina: "I'm sorry it took me so long. Enjoy your meal!" She flashes me a bright smile as she sits down, waiting for me to dig in, but I just stare at it. "Mhh? What's wrong?" She tilts her head.

Me: "Uhm..." Wait, did she cook this? "Is this...?"

Mina: "Yup! Made with love~ hehe. My former boss allowed me to use the kitchen for today. I'm sorry it's just Bibimbap and nothing creative."

She cooked for me! Omg. I suddenly got embarrassed about being so impatient.

Me: "Ah-! No! No, no! It's perfect...Uhm-," Ahh shit, I need words! "I don't know what-, thank you." I mirror her bright smile. Never did a girl cook something for me. And...Jin doesn't count.

Mina: "Hehe, you should try it before you thank me. Tell me what you think!" She gestured me to start eating and she definitely won't need to tell me twice.

I lift my chopsticks and started to whirl around in my bowl, grabbing out some rice and carrots to place into my mouth. Oh, wow. I quickly swallow before speaking.

Me: "Mina-," I stare at her in awe. "This is delicious! Thank you for taking me here and cooking for me."

Mina: "I'm so relieved! Ahhh,-" She thankfully throws her hands into the air. "Glad you like it!" I can see her blushing a little before she turned silent again. "My brother once said I'm the best cook in the universe for him. That made me really proud." She said sheepishly after a pause as she looked down at her plate. "I wanted to know what you think, too." Oh how cute. But her voice somehow had something sad in it. She surely must miss him.

Me: "Your brother surely knows what's good!" I wink at her, smiling. "And he has a very talented and beautiful sister." I blush a little at my own words before eating more of the food she cooked for me. For meeeee and only meee.

I giggle at the thought that she still was part of ARMY and how often I talked about myself liking home-made dishes. She has done her research.

Mina: "Hoseok!" She finally gasps, her cheeks turned bright red. Hehehe. Gotcha. "Don't say such things, you make me nervous!" She's so cute when she's embarrassed!

Me: "Ohhh, but I like it so much when you're nervous. Call me 'Hoseok-oppa again'!"

She laughed at me in embarrassment, her face still dyed in red.

Mina: "Hee, you should eat instead of asking for more entertainment! I put much effort into this meal!" She was still giggling. At me, and probably herself not being able to shake it off.

Me: "You're right. I mean...you said, it was made with love."
