-----
Returning back to the Bangtan base was tiring. Ally felt very drained both physically and emotionally. She could only just focus, her adrenaline high had faded away, the buzzing in her head was gone and she no longer felt like she was like a toddler having eat too much sugar when their parents weren't looking. Her head was leant against the window lightly jolting every now and again as the uneven terrain of the road jostled the car ever so slightly making the occupants of the car shift up and down and side to side. Her eyes slightly wincing everytime the side of her head made contact with the cool glass that she rested against.
Hoseok still hadn't let go of her hand.
His grip was tight, but not tight enough to leave any marks or bruises. His thumb rubbing small circles on the back of her hand, her other hand was clenched tightly in her lap. Her eyes began to droop and her head nodded gently the more sleep tried to pull her in to the darkness. She lurched her eyes open as she forced herself not to succumb to the pull of sleep that called to her like a siren called to a sailor.
Hoseok calmly watched her out of the corner of his eye. He observed her as she fought sleep time and time again, he was almost tempted to cradle her to his chest like a child and allow her a few moments of peace. Something she had very little of since she was taken from the club the night she sealed her fate as the newest member of Bangtan whether she wanted it or not. Hoseok felt sorry for her, she was only young, not much younger than himself and she had led what must have been a wonderful life before crap hit the fan. Unlike her Hoseok didn't have a choice, his circumstances that led him to Namjoon and Bangtan were the nails in his coffin. If he didn't join Bangtan, his life might have been much worse. Abandonded at a young age, Hoseok strived to work as hard as he could so that he could live. Namjoon saved him and he owed a lot to the leader of their gang. But he wished things might have been different for Ally. Although he admired her for being able to stay strong, he pitied her and felt sorry for her. He didn't expect to fall for her, but she pulled him in and he wasn't going to fight it anymore. He gained a soft spot for her the day he helped save her in that small shop and he couldn't deny it when he was glad he kissed her that day in the training room. The feeling to keep her safe, to watch over her and never let her get hurt again, he didn't know where these protective feelings came from but he was secretly glad they were there.
The familiar house pulled into view as Ally finally mustered the strenght to pull her face away from the window, her cheek had slightly turned a pale pink colour from the prolonged contact to the cool glass, a small smug could also be seen on the window. Ally rubbed her eyes and gave her head a good shake as she allowed herself to be led out of the car and back towards the house. Hoseok finally letting go of her hand as she folded her arms and tucked in her hands for warmth, a small shiver vibrating her small body as she followed the boys willingly back into the house.
Almost rebotically Ally followed Hoseok to his room. She didn't know what compelled her to trail him like a little puppy. She blamed it on the tiredness, just putting one foot in front of the other. She had past her own bedroom door several paces ago and have every chance to go into her own room or turn around whenever she wanted but she threw all caution to the wind and continued walking.
Being the gentleman he is Hoseok allowed her to go into his room first. It was a basic room, much like her own. Very minimal, only a small number of possessions and quite dim, low lighting which almost made it near impossible to see but Ally's eyes adjusted quickly. The door behind her closed with a soft click.
She felt herself sit down on the soft mattress, her fists curling around the bedsheets in a last ditch attempt to clear her head from all the stress and fatigue she had been experiencing. She jumped ever so slightly when Hoseok grabbed her hand as he sat down beside her.
"I'm sorry..."
"I am so so sorry"
Both of them spoke at the same time Ally's voice a quiet whisper while Hoseok being slightly louder but he still heard her and his expression softened.
"What? Why are you sorry?" He asked quizically looking at her.
Ally didn't really know why she was sorry but she felt this compulsive need to apologise for everything so she wouldn't get hurt or in trouble with any of the boys here. Looking back even before any of this happened Ally found she apologised a lot for things she didn't really need to. She just shrugged and Hoseok let out a big sigh.
"None of this was you're fault, don't even think that for a second. Don't you dare." Hoseok told her. "If anything this whole thing is my fault...if it wasn't for me you wouldn't even be in this mess in the first place."
Ally looked down at her lap, she felt so conflicted right now, her feelings were all over the place. She didn't know whether to laugh or cry.
"Hey" Hoseok said and got her to give him her full attention. "I'll always be here for you. You don't have to worry."
He meant forward and gently kissed her forehead. He stayed there for several seconds before he pulled away. Ally's face light up with a smile, it wasn't a shy smile or a forced one but a genuine smile and Hoseok loved seeing her smile, that in turn made him smile and he sat and admired her for a few seconds.
"Please smile more". Hoseok told her. This was the second time he had mentioned her smile.
"Thank you." Ally said softly and she let out a small giggle.
"What was that?" Hoseok asked, a small smile creeping up his face.
"What was what?" Ally asked the small smile slipping off her face as she thought she did something wrong.
"You're laugh, it's cute. Don't stop smiling". Hoseok muttered.
It was at moment that Hoseok lent in and plastered a big kiss onto rhe tip of her nose which made her smile again.
"I will never"
Kiss.
"Let anything bad"
Kiss.
"Happen to you."
Kiss.
"I promise".
Kiss.
He sat back and nearly laughed at the flustered look Ally gave him after he finished kissing her face, her cheeks going a bright red and looking slightly shocked. "I also promise to keep you safe" he whispered.
Ally then leant in and planted a soft kiss right onto Hoseok's lips as he finished talking. She leant back but felt a tiht grip on her arm as Hoseok pulled her back in and kissed her back. Hoseok was kissing her! She gently closed her eyes as she allowed the kiss to happen. The kiss was very soft and fragile. Hoseok lifted his hand up to cup her cheek as he tilted his own head to deepen the kiss, his tounge running gently against Ally's bottom lip, asking permission for access. His thumb gently stroked her cheek, his other hand tracing patterns in her skin just under the hem of her top. He moved her back further against the bed and gently lay her down against the mattress, supporting himself by his forearms resting on either side of her head.
A soft moan escaped her mouth as they continued their heated kiss. Scundered by the noise that she made Ally went to push his chest away but he grabbed her wrists and held them up by her head. "Please don't" he muttered softly before kissing her jaw and side of her neck gently which sent shivers down her spine.
Groaning slightly Hoseok finally stopped himself before going too far. His head was spinning and he didn't want to take advantage of her when she was in a fragile state. He kissed her once more on the lips, a long kiss with a lot of feeling behind it. Placing his forehead against hers, he tried to catch his breath before staring deep into her eyes.
"Please don't ruin me." He whispered hiding his face in the crook of Ally's neck before finally getting up giving her one last look before leaving the room.
Ally could only watch as Hoseok left, her face still beetroot red. Her heart beating at the pace of a thousand drums, her palms getting sweaty and she felt even more tired as she lay on Hoseoks bed wondering should she go back to her own room or stay where she was.
Giving herself an extra 5 minutes lying there staring at the ceiling contemplating all that had just happened. Her fingers ghosted over her lips as she remembered the kiss her and Hoseok had shared. A small smile lit up her features and she finally turned over to get up off the bed when she heard a small rustling in her pocket. Fishing whatever it was out of her pocket she found a small piece of folded up notebook paper in her hand. Tilting her head she tried to remember where it was from then it struck her, it was the note JB slipped her as she left GOT7s hideout. Looking to the door and realised no one was coming in she quickly opened it up and stared at what was written on the page, on it was a phone number and underneath it it said:
Just in case you ever need it.
Stay safe.
JB.
