"Chul?" Yoongi quirked his eyebrow at the figure before them, wondering what he could possibly want with them this time.
Looking from between Jungkook and Chul, Yoongi noticed the small tint of fear in the younger's eyes. Heart crumbling at the sight, Yoongi was determined to protect Jungkook at all costs or defend him if Chul decided to say anything rude.
After all, Jungkook was practically like a younger brother to Yoongi.
"I noticed you didn't faint out there, Min. What a surprise," Chul sneered, eyes burning into Yoongi's soul.
Rolling his eyes at the snarky comment, Yoongi just pulled Jungkook up from the bench before heading towards the locker room door, only for Chul to block the entrance entirely with his broad and towering build.
"Um, excuse us. We have places to be-"
"Min Yoongi has somewhere to go on a Friday night? That's a first."
"Please let us through," Yoongi nearly growled, his lips pursed as he clenched his fists.
"What's the magic word?"
"We're not in f*cking kindergarten," Jungkook mumbled under his breath, earning both Chul and Yoongi to look at him with widened eyes.
A small smirk couldn't help but tug at Yoongi's lips, as a laugh threatened to escape his mouth. Even though Jungkook rarely got into arguments or gave into snarky people, it was hilarious when he did.
Losing the rest of his patience, Yoongi shoved himself past Chul, hastily pulling the younger along side with him. The last thing Yoongi wanted was to pick a fight with him, as those never ended well.
As learned from past experiences.
As the two sped their way past the locker rooms and towards the gymnasium, where students began filing out from the bleachers, he quickly spotted the other three friends who had come to support them.
"YOONGI! JK!" Taehyung yelled, tearing away from Hoseok and Jimin as he made his way towards the two athletes, engrossing them in a big and squishy bear hug.
"You guys crushed them out there!"
"Thanks Tae Tae," Jungkook giggled, his hand combing through Taehyung's thick curly locks as his other arm rested across Yoongi's back.
Jimin and Hoseok soon followed behind Taehyung, quickly joining in the hug as well.
Yoongi's cheeks heated up as he felt Hoseok's delicate and lean arm snake around his waist. Attempting to hide the blush, he just buried his head into the crook of Jungkook's neck, assuming no one would notice.
"Ahh Yoongi's hair smells like fairy shampoo!" Jungkook giggled, sniffing Yoongi's hair.
"What the f*ck is fairy shampoo?" Jimin asked, perking his head up to look at Jungkook.
"I don't know, but Yoongi smells nice like a fairy so I got fairy shampoo!"
Hoseok giggled at Jungkook's cute comment, mentally agreeing that Yoongi did in fact remind him of a fairy.
And his hair smelled amazing.
But besides the point,,,
The group eventually separated from the hug, all heading out towards the gym and into the cool night air, the brisk and fresh breeze biting at their skin.
"Oh, I almost forgot!" Hoseok exclaimed randomly, shuffling through his backpack to fetch out the snacks he had bought for Jungkook and Yoongi, "Here, I got you guys snacks, just in case you were hungry after the game."
Hoseok sheepishly smiled as he passed the two bags of chips, scratching the back of his head in the process.
"Thank you, Hoseok," Yoongi whispered, voice barely audible. Yet loud enough for Hoseok to hear, as he sent the elder a gleaming heart shaped smile.
"Aww thanks Hobi! That's so sweet of you, I'm starving," Jungkook engulfed Hoseok into a warm hug, leaving Yoongi awkwardly standing off to the side by himself.
Noticing this, Hoseok motioned Yoongi into the hug with grabby hands, "C'mere Yoongi!" he exclaimed with a big cheesy smile.
A gummy smile forming on his lips, Yoongi playfully rolled his eyes before reluctantly being swallowed by Hoseok and Jungkook into a warm and squishy hug.
For the second time that day.
And only in a span of like, five minutes.
Yoongi would never admit it, but whenever Hoseok hugged him he immediately felt this fuzzy feeling spread inside him, as softness completely swarmed him. It was a nice feeling, to say the least. And, if Yoongi didn't put on the persona that he hated physical contact, or just had the guts to do it, he would ask Hoseok for a hug every day.
Or several times a day, for that matter.
And the thing was, Yoongi really was not a fan of hugs or being all touchy touchy with his other friends who he had known far much longer than Hoseok. Hell, he didn't even like hugging his own family.
But somehow, it was different with this human embodiment of sunshine that was Jung Hoseok.
As these thoughts soaked in, Yoongi quickly made it an excuse that it was because Hoseok was a really good hugger.
Yeah, that's it.
And even though that may have been one of the reasons why Yoongi enjoyed it so much, but there were others as well. Ones that Yoongi was not yet aware of.
In fact, Yoongi was enjoying the hug so much, that he didn't even notice Jungkook already departed from it.
So it was just him and Hoseok, hugging in the middle of the sidewalk on a Friday evening, basking in the moment. And if it weren't for their obnoxious friends, Yoongi would've gladly stayed in that hug for much longer.
"Jimin," Taehyung whispered, pointing at the two huggers, "take a picture of them, quick!"
At this, Jimin hurriedly whipped out his phone and snapped several pictures of the two, making sure to have flash off as to not ruin the moment.
He made a mental note to surely use these as blackmail later.
"Hobi! Yoongi! We should start walking home so we don't end up getting kidnapped!" Jimin mocked, earning laughs from Taehyung and Jungkook.
Glancing up only to be met with Hoseok's warm honey-dew eyes, Yoongi's whole face immediately turned a bright shade of pink as he didn't even notice the youngest of the three had broken off from the hug.
Sh*t, how long have we been like that for?
Swiftly taking his hands off from Hoseok's back, Yoongi mumbled a flustered "Ah, s-sorry," before running off to catch up with the other three.
Giggling to himself at the elder's adorable and shy reaction, Hoseok just shook his head as light laughs escaped his mouth, before skipping to meet the others ahead of him.
☺︎︎☺︎︎☺︎︎
Since Hoseok's house was only a few blocks away from the school, the small group agreed on just walking there as they followed Hoseok and Taehyung's lead.
Along the way, several jokes were made as bursts of laughter could probably be heard from the small and colorful houses lining the sidewalks.
Currently, Hoseok and Taehyung were swinging Jungkook back and forth between them, as the youngest grasped onto both their shoulders in order to stable himself among the two.
"Ouch! Your nails are so sharp," Hoseok whined, as Jungkook basically stabbed him with his finger into his shoulder blade.
"Ah, my bad!"
Taehyung let out a light chuckle as this, as Hoseok's house came into view. Carefully letting down Jungkook on the pathway, Hoseok fumbled with his keys before running up to his porch and unlocking the door, motioning for the others to follow.
"Wowwww you've got a sexy house," Jungkook gasped, as his eyes lit up from the interior.
Hoseok snorted at the younger's comment, ruffling his hair "I know right, she could totally strut the runway."
"Y'all are f*cking weird," Jimin laughed.
"Says you," Jungkook retorted.
"Lets just agree we all act as if we just snorted a pound of cocaine," Yoongi deadpanned, earning bundles of laughter to follow afterwards.
"Okay, so um you guys can stay for however long you want, and if anyone needs a ride home I can drive you," Hoseok stated, slipping off his shoes.
Everyone nodded, before following the brunet up the wooden staircase, steps creaking under their padded feet.
As the four got comfortable in Hoseok's cozy and small room, Hoseok went to go tell his mother that he and his friends had arrived, and that they were just going to hang out in his room for the time being.
"Okayyyy, have fun! Tell me if you need anything!" His mother replied cheerfully, leaving a smiling Hoseok to return to his room across the hall.
When coming back to the awaited group, Hoseok's eyes widened at the sight of Jungkook hanging upside down, his feet being held by Taehyung and Jimin.
"I leave for five minutes and this happens?!" Hoseok snickered, rolling his eyes at the three's antics.
"I tried stopping them," Yoongi yawned, patting his mouth.
"Aw grandpa Yoongs don't be such a grumpy cat," Taehyung teased, poking his sides.
Completely unbothered by this, Yoongi sat there unfazed as the three youngest ones began pestering the poor male. Chuckling at the sight, Hoseok sat down across from them and was about to join in before Yoongi pointed an accusing finger at him, "Don't."
Raising his hands up in defense, Hoseok backed away, a small smirk playing at his lips.
Yoongi nibbled at his lip from the action, as it felt like butterflies were flying all around inside his chest. Shyly looking down towards the ground, he avoided Hoseok's gaze at all costs.
The image still floating around in his head, Yoongi quickly shook off the thoughts as he busied himself with other things.
Oh wow! That's a lovely picture on the wall, he thought, focusing his mind on anything else other than the pretty boy in front of him, who was casually leaning back against his bedside.
And the group stayed like that for a while, chatting about a variety of different topics. Some dark, some light, some in between or goofy. Either whispers or bursts of bright laughter echoing off of the bedroom walls, there was no in between for the chaotic bunch.
At one point, Jimin suggested on watching a classic old 2000s Barbie movie that they all eventually fell asleep to. Well, other than Yoongi and Hoseok, that is.
The TV illuminated the dark pitch black room, casting rays of blues, purples, and pinks onto both of their faces. Hoseok's side profile was perfectly on display for the elder sitting beside him, and it was practically impossible for him not to look away from it.
From his protruding sharp jawline to his pixie-like nose, Yoongi was in complete awe of it.
And even though Yoongi didn't reciprocate romantic feelings of the younger whatsoever, he had to admit that Hoseok had everyone's ideal side profile. Everything about it was so delicate and dainty, resembling a fairy of some sort.
So in conclusion, both Hoseok and Yoongi thought of each other as fairies.
Yoongi barely even watched the movie, as all he heard were faint voices in the background with occasional singing, or snores emitting from the three who were fast asleep behind them.
As much as he wanted to tear his eyes away from the younger male beside him, he couldn't. And what was even more infuriating was that he had no clue as to why. All these new foreign feelings and emotions driven from the mysterious boy near him made him absolutely crazy.
He hated it.
Yoongi was always someone who was in complete control of his feelings, and never once felt confused or flustered by anything coming from his own mind. It was as if someone had planted a completely new brain into him, or expecting him to speak a foreign language that he had never even heard of before.
And what was even more confusing was that the pair had only begun to get closer recently, maybe two or three weeks ago. Before then, Yoongi distanced himself from Hoseok or tended to act cold, and quite unfairly at that.
So why? Why was he feeling all these new emotions, all swirling him up as if a tornado consumed him whole.
The male was so congested in his train of thoughts that he didn't even notice the exact male, who he had been thinking about this entire time, was calling his name repeatedly.
"Psstttt Yoongi," Hoseok calmly whispered, as to not wake the his sleeping friends.
"Yoongiiii??"
"YOONGI!" He whispered shouted, causing the male to jump up, heart practically leaping out of his chest.
"Y-yeah?" The male stuttered, coming out of his thoughts.
"You look pretty-"
"What?!"
