Perplexing Simplicities

episode㉖

"What is it?!"

Taehyung shook his head, signaling his soulmate to shut the fuck up and he grabbed Jungkook by the back harshly, waking him up immediately.

The boy looked around confused until he saw the person that seemed to be the aim of Taehyung's concern.

"Y-Yoohyeon?"

"You want to go again?"

Yoongi shrugged as he leaned up against the wall. "It's too hard, let's try something else."

At this point in time, Yoongi and Hoseok found themselves in the coat closet, Yoongi casually leaning against the wall, Hoseok on his knees in front of him.

They had eventually gotten bored of drinking their ~waters~ because Yoongi was still designated driver and Hoseok didn't drink off of principle {other than wine} and they had ended up here.

"Do you have any money?"

Yoongi nodded tentatively, pursing his lips, and reached into his pocket. "I think so." He pulled out a quarter and decided to kneel next to Hoseok in front of the stupid little gumball machine that didn't actually have gumballs in it.

"One shot. Go."

Hoseok turned to Yoongi. "Blow on it. Good luck."

Yoongi rolled his eyes and frowned. "You believe in luck?"

Hoseok shook his head, never breaking the suddenly intense eye contact he held with the man in front of him. "No. I just think... you may be my lucky charm." He winked and destroyed the moment they were having, making Yoongi roll his eyes.

"Aish fine." He leaned in and exhaled the shortest, most sassy spurt of air from his lips that he could muster.

Hobi watched his every movement perversely and then winked again when Yoongi returned to staring at him. "Lovely."

Yoongi swallowed with a perturbed look on his face. "You disgust me."

Hoseok laughed and petted Yoongi's knee lovingly. "I'm just kidding sunshine, sorry if I made you uncomfortable."

Yoongi scowled but didn't say anything. He wasn't going to lie. 'Sunshine' definitely did the trick in waking up those pesky butterflies.

"Ready?"

Yoongi nodded eagerly. It was stupid and fun and weirdly exciting to be sitting here with Hobi and playing little prize games in the back of a club's coat closet.

"Okay, three... two..."

"Hobi I swear to god just shove it in."

Hoseok laughed "Okay okay shoving," and inserted the quarter. "Do you want to twist it or should I?"

Yoongi rolled his eyes and slapped Hoseok over the head making them both laugh again. "JUST DO IT!"

"Okay!" Hobi grinned widely as he twisted the little dial and the machine made the clicky noise and they heard the toy fall.

"Oh my god it's down."

"Get it out you ding dong!"

Hobi turned to Yoongi frowning. "DING DONG?!"
