"No one told me it would hurt this bad." The room was filled with the boy's quiet sobs and the occasional sniffling. Hoseok had curled up into a ball, clinging onto a pillow in the fetal position, for lack of a better alternative. He would be hugging his teddy bear on any other given circumstances, like he had done on countless other occasions before when he had found himself alone and crying and in need of something to hold on to.
But this time he couldn't. Because this time he was crying because of him. And just like the pain gnawing on his chest, the teddy had also come from him.
It was pink and fluffy and overly cute. Its eyes were that common shade of blue they used on toys, while its belly was decorated with a few words written in white thread; "You're my sunshine". It now lay in a corner if the room along with the last of his belongings -a few t-shirts Hobi had found while cleaning out his closet that morning, and a couple of single socks. His toothbrush had been bent in half and his charger had been ripped apart. God, he knew he was being childish for taking it out on his ex's personal items but it was the closest he could get to hurting him, because even if he couldn't hurt him for real at least he could destroy the last standing memories of his presence in his life. Even if he couldn't make him hurt the way he had hurt him -not physically, but emotionally.
Yoongi was rubbing soothing circles across his back, listening to a rant that had been going on for at least a few hours now with a patience that never seemed to waver. "No. No, literally everyone told you." the older man grumbled, earning a confused glare from his friend. "You just didn't wanna listen because you kept saying he was 'the one'." Yoongi wiggled his fingers in air quotations, making Hope's frown deepen and more tears to well up in his eyes. Yoongi pursed his lips and furrowed his eyebrows in return. "Don't give me that look. If he really was 'the one' he would have stuck around for more than three months."
Hobi shrunk further into his fetal position and he hugged his pillow tighter. "I feel so used, hyung."
Had it been anyone else saying that to him-literally, anyone- Yoongi would have responded with a snarky remark about how they weren't wrong, that they had played themselves and indeed had been used, but he wasn't going to do that to him. Not Hoseok. He was going to keep his opinion to himself and he was going to keep comforting the younger man for as long as he had to, even if it meant missing his morning lectures and the blind dinner date that Jin had spent two weeks orchestrating. "You're not the first one to make that mistake. We've all been there."
Hoseok rubbed at his eyes that had turned so red and swollen it almost looked painful and he fiddled with the corner of the pillow. He looked up at the other boy under his wet lashes and pursed his lips in hesitation. "Could you... could you please spend the night here?" The man asked in a small vulnerable voice that made Yoongi's heart melt. "I-I don't think I can be alone tonight."
And under any other circumstances, Yoongi would have refused. He would have told him to get someone else to baby him because for the first time in three months, he had scored a bloody date and he couldn't wait for dry season to be over. But this time was different. In all the scenarios where his friend had managed to get his heart broken, none of them involved him curled up in Yoongi's lap, looking like a beat up dog that needed all the love and attention in the world. None of the previous times had seemed so serious, as if the man would break at the smallest wrong move -and Hoseok had had his heart broken many times. But maybe that was why this time was different, maybe this heartbreak was the one that was one too many. Yoongi didn't know that Hosung guy because he had somehow never gotten around to meeting him properly, but boy oh boy, did he wish he had right about now.
