Dear Diary

Snippets

"Why does your phone say there are sexy single Korean men in your area?" Jeongguk held up Joss' phone as she and Jill brought snacks and beer to the nest of blankets he had on the floor.

"Ooh! Sexy Korean men?" Joss hopped on her feet excitedly, "I need me one of those!" She sat down and snuggled into the pillows, "Quick! Hit reply!"

Jeongguk scowled, pulling the phone out of her reach, only for it to be plucked out of his hands by Jill, "You think they can find one for me, too?" she giggled, playing along.

"I mean...it said men," Joss sighed, running around he back of the couch to join Jill on the other side.

"Har har," Jeongguk pouted, "You said you were going to be extra nice to me today."

"It's just an ad from my app that is teaching me Korean," Joss relented, his faux-angry face too cute to resist, "It assumes that I want to learn Korean to pick up sexy Korean men, not that I want I know what you guys are saying when you're whispering in the kitchen like I can't hear you."

"We know you can hear us," he scrunched his nose, kissing her on the cheek as she sat back down in the pillows, "But just because we're not speaking English doesn't mean it's anything bad. It's just easier for us to speak in our own language."

"So Jimin wasn't telling you 'naneun jigeum guenyeoui ib-eul neomu simhage segseuhago sip-eo' when I was eating a banana for breakfast yesterday morning?" she asked sweetly.

Jeongguk tensed, sitting up straight, "Not...exactly?"

"It was fast, but I'm pretty sure that's what he said."

"How much Korean do you know?" Jeongguk looked at her with curious worry.

"It has a translator, but I know enough to yell out 'naleul jilsig' when the time is right," she winked, making him gulp visibly.

"What are you two saying?" Jill laughed, "What does that mean?"

Jeongguk stared at her darkly, eyeing the low cut of her t-shirt, "I'll show you later."

"Sex stuff," Jill nodded, "I should have known if Jo-Jo had learned it so quickly."

"Jo-Jo learned new sex stuff?" Hoseok suddenly appeared out of nowhere, making all three of them attempt to jump out of their skin. He laughed, putting his hands up in surrender, "Anything I should know about?"

"When you know, you'll know," Jeongguk returned his laughter, face screwing up in confusion just after, "Why are you taking your shirt off, Hyung?"

"Kangaroo cares," Hoseok answered plainly, elaborating after his chest was completely bare, "Also known as touch therapy or vibrational therapy." He sat down in the pillow nest, pulling Joss onto his lap to straddle him, motioning for Jill to do the same on Jeongguk, "It's usually used for babies that are premature or sick, but it's known to work for trauma healing as well."

"How does it work?" Joss pouted, looking over at Jill, "This seems...private?"

"It's not sexual," Hoseok laughed, "Or at least I'll try to keep it from being so far as long as possible." He looked at the girl shyly, "It does require skin to skin contact though. Meaning we have to have our shirts off. You can all wear bras or tank tops if you want though."

"I have a sports bra on anyway," Jill stripped her shirt off, helping Jeongguk out of his tank top as well, "But I don't think Joss is wearing a bra today." She placed her hands on her legs that were wrapped around her partner, "What do we do next?"

"Just...hug," Hoseok answered, covering Joss a little as she ditched her tank top and wrapping her arms around his shoulders, "Lean against each other, relax and keep your arms and body loose, and focus on deep, calming breaths."
