•● [ with fingers wrought together in anxiety, you stood at the quiet street corner, eyes locked onto the screen of your cellphone as you counted down the minutes till two o'clock. ] ⟳ ᴄᴏɴᴛ.

❝ Y O U ━━━━━━

i must be insane for agreeing 
to meet two total strangers.

━━━━━━━━━ ❞

•● [ after what had happened with taehyung a few nights prior, your paranoia had gone on the fritz. it was safe to say that kim taehyung, or whoever (or whatever) was parading as him, was fully aware of your suspicion. ] ⟳ ᴄᴏɴᴛ.

•● [ a frustrated sigh seeped from pressed lips. you could barely piece this puzzle together. the more clues you discovered, the more confused you became. it was a dangerous rabbit hole and you felt yourself falling deeper and deeper without answers. ] ⟳ ᴄᴏɴᴛ.

❝ HOSEOK ━━━━━━

HANEULLLLL! is that you ~~?

━━━━━━━━━ ❞

•● [ dark eyes snapped up from the ground at the sound of your name, and you found yourself staring into the face of a masked man and an exhausted boy chasing after him. ] ⟳ ᴄᴏɴᴛ.

❝ JEONGGUK ━━━━━━

for fuck's sake, hoseok!
i told you to keep a low profile!

━━━━━━━━━ ❞

❝ HOSEOK ━━━━━━

i ammm! i mean, i even wore
this stupid mask like you told
me to!

━━━━━━━━━ ❞

❝ Y O U ━━━━━━

umm, i'm guessing you two
are jeongguk and hoseok?

━━━━━━━━━ ❞

❝ HOSEOK ━━━━━━

BINGO ~ ☆ !!

━━━━━━━━━ ❞

❝ JEONGGUK ━━━━━━

huh. look at that. you
really are a human.

━━━━━━━━━ ❞

❝ Y O U ━━━━━━

you were honestly still
doubting me?

━━━━━━━━━ ❞

❝ JEONGGUK ━━━━━━

well. you never know.

━━━━━━━━━ ❞

❝ HOSEOK ━━━━━━

ENOUGH OF THAT.
haneul~~ it's so nice to meet
you in real life! i really don't
know how gukkie managed
to convince you to come, but
i'm glad that he did!

━━━━━━━━━ ❞

❝ JEONGGUK ━━━━━━

right. today, the three of us
are going to hang out 
together till the sun drops.

━━━━━━━━━ ❞

•● [ jeongguk passed you a knowing glance and you nodded softly in response. afraid that he wouldn't be able to keep an eye on hoseok by himself, the younger male had quickly enlisted your help two days ago.  ] ⟳ ᴄᴏɴᴛ.

•● [ it wasn't a ingenious plan by any means, but this outing was certainly not meant to build friendships or form memories. no — today, the both of you would play bodyguard to the cheery (and oblivious) male in your midst. ] ⟳ ᴄᴏɴᴛ.

❝ HOSEOK ━━━━━━

what do you want to do
first, haneul?

ladies choice.

━━━━━━━━━ ❞

•● [ you paused, wondering whether acting normal would be the best course of action, or choosing to stay under the radar would've been better. ] ⟳ ᴄᴏɴᴛ.

•● [ in the end, you opted for the latter. safety first, after all. ] ⟳ ᴄᴏɴᴛ.

❝ Y O U ━━━━━━

let's go to a karaoke room!
if i remember correctly,
jeongguk said he was a
singer, right?

━━━━━━━━━ ❞

❝ HOSEOK ━━━━━━

ohohoho! your ears are about
to be blessed. leamme tell
you - this boy - he has the 
voice of a soft baby cherub.

━━━━━━━━━ ❞

❝ JEONGGUK ━━━━━━

s-shut up, hyung! what kind of
metaphor is that?!?

━━━━━━━━━ ❞

❝ Y O U ━━━━━━

aww, he's blushing. 
how cute ~

━━━━━━━━━ ❞

❝ JEONGGUK ━━━━━━

you realize you're going to be
in a private karaoke room with
two men you barely know.

━━━━━━━━━ ❞

•● [ now it was your turn to blush a deep scarlet as jeongguk's suggestive words tore into your cognition, wrecking havoc on what was supposed to be a normal day. ] ⟳ ᴄᴏɴᴛ.

❝ HOSEOK ━━━━━━

oh puh-lease, gukkie. you're
the last person that would
make a move on anyone in
real life.

━━━━━━━━━ ❞

❝ JEONGGUK ━━━━━━

i-i don't need to do anything!
it's haneul that needs to keep
her hands off me once she
hears my singing. ha! ha! ha!

━━━━━━━━━ ❞

•● [ your eyes narrowed at the tall male who had began to laugh robotically in a poor attempt to mask his embarrassment. if anything, you just felt more sympathetic towards him. (you should've known by now that jeongguk wielded overconfidence as his sword and shield.)  ] ⟳ ᴄᴏɴᴛ.

❝ Y O U ━━━━━━

i'll try to rein in my raging
hormones.

━━━━━━━━━ ❞

•● [ you rolled your eyes, not even bothering to conceal the sarcasm that dripped off your tongue as you began to lead the small group. ] ⟳ ᴄᴏɴᴛ.

❝ Y O U ━━━━━━

now, let's go!

━━━━━━━━━ ❞

•● [ you weren't sure whether something would happen to hoseok or not, but you weren't about to take that risk. ] ⟳ ᴄᴏɴᴛ. 

•● [ re:labs wouldn't be getting another victim today.  ] ⟳ ᴄᴏɴᴛ.
