BTS HYYH Notes (Book 1, 2, BUS Game) // COMPLETE [Part 2]

2022, May 9 - Seokjin (Hoseok's Rooftop)

[Places: Around burger joint, rooftop]

Hoseok collapsed yesterday. Thankfully, he's not injured too badly, but he wasn't supposed to collapse until tomorrow. My uneasiness means that I spend the entire day hovering around Hoseok.

"I'm heading on a delivery!" Hoseok exits the restaurant and walks over to the delivery scooter.

"Yeonah-ya, what did I say you should do before crossing the street?"

"To count before crossing! One, two three..."

Hoseok watches as the eommeoni and child cross the street before collapsing again.

"Hoseok-ah!!"

(A/N: Moments after)

I get Hoseok permission to leave early and take him home. His place is located in an area that overlooks the entire span of Songju City. I use the key in his pocket to open the door. A well-organized room greets us. I help Hoseok onto his bed before looking around at his room. There are posters of his dance team on the walls, and his uniform hangs neatly. I even spot a familiar planter and a worn laptop.

Maybe I should have a look around before Hoseok wakes up.

(A/N: Loop #1: Look at the items on the desk.)

The laptop is on and displaying a screen saver. I press down on one of the keys. The screen immediately opens up to display a web browser, set to a video site.

"A dance crew audition?"

It's an informational recruitment video for a pretty famous international dance team.

"An audition, huh..."

I suddenly remembered Hoseok mentioning he's happiest when he's dancing. Hoseok still runs Just Dance, the dance club he started in high school.

"I'm sure he'd do well if he'd applied."

(A/N: Loop #2: Look closely at the planter.)

The planter on top of the dresser is the same planter from our classroom hideout. "Oh right, this was Hoseok's."

The nameless plant is bigger than it used to be two years ago. It's blooming with white flowers. He must've cared for it all this time. I can almost see the memory of how Hoseok tended to the plant every day. I wonder what he was thinking when he took this plant with him. What did he feel caring for it?

🔴

I'm lost in my own thoughts, when...

"Hmm..." Hoseok stirs, clearly waking up. "Eomma? Don't go..." He dreams of his eommeoni when he's asleep.

Now that I think about it, Hoseok used to call for his eommeoni when he'd fall asleep in high school. Is the memory of losing his eommeoni related to his narcolepsy? Hoseok calls for his eommeoni a few more times before he open his eyes.

"Are you okay, Hoseok?"

"Hyung? I was at work..."

"You collapsed while heading out for a delivery. You don't remember?"

"Ah, I see... What about the delivery?"

"I already talked to your manager for you. Don't worry about it and get some rest."

"Phew... But how are you here?"

"I happened to see you collapse as I was passing by, so I brought you here. Are you feeling okay?"

Hoseok sits up and moves his limbs around. "I think I'm okay. Thank you."

I decide to sit down in front of Hoseok to talk. "Hoseok-ah, you know how you keep collapsing. The hospital doesn't know why yet? It's too dangerous. What if you had passed out while driving? You don't have any idea what makes you collapse either?"

But all Hoseok does was shake his head no. "I don't know."
