Jungkook groaned and rolled his eyes as he locked the door. If he knew his mom would peep out the window, he would've told Hoseok not to walk him to the door. And the fact that his mom called Hoseok a 'hottie' made Jungkook uncomfortable.

He brushed past her and headed up the stairs. Of course, his mother followed.

"Mom, don't you have laundry to do?" Jungkook tried getting her off his back, but he knew her better than that.

"Finished it. I finished all the housework, so now I can spend time with you." Ms. Jeon continued to follow her son to his room.

Jungkook loves his birth giver dearly, but sometimes she gets to be too much.

"Mother, do you need something from me?"

"I need answers."

"To what, mother?"

"Stop calling me that. It makes me think you're annoyed with me."

Jungkook rolled his eyes, and thought 'Oh really? Never!'

"Okay, sorry. What do you really need?"

"Who was that guy you were just with?"

Jungkook knew this was coming, and quite frankly he wasn't ready, "A... friend. Yeah, a friend." Jungkook didn't know if him and Hoseok were friends or still acquaintances.

His mom raised a brow, "Friend? Are you sure?"

"Well, I don't know. We're in between acquaintances and friends."

Mrs. Jeon rolled her eyes, "Okay, fine. You don't have to tell me. Just know I'm here if you need to talk."

"Mom, I'm serious. Have I ever lied to you?"

"No."

Jungkook did a head tilt. His mom sighed and got up to leave the room.

Jungkook laid back on his bed and sighed. He missed Taehyung a lot. The room felt lonely, empty, and quiet. Jungkook didn't like it one bit.

Now that he thinks about it, he kind of wishes he had asked Hoseok for his number. It would be something to do - get to know Hoseok more. Suddenly, realization struck Jungkook that they follow each other on Instagram.

Jungkook grabbed his phone from the bedside table and unlocked it. He opened up the app and went to his DM's.

JK.98: um hey it's Jungkook

J.hoseok: oh hey kook

JK.98: i don't think so
may i ask why hyung?

J.hoseok: i was wondering if we could hang out again...?

Jungkook wanted to scream, so he did. Into his pillow. He screamed for a good 45 seconds. He lifted his head up and grabbed his phone.

J.hoseok: Kook? are u there? i'm sorry for asking, if that's the problem

JK.98: no! that's not it! sorry, i had to do something real quick
yes i'll go with you
but i have a question though

J.hoseok: shoot

JK.98: is this like a...
date...? i'm sorry if that's weird
i'm just curious

J.hoseok: it's cool
it's only a date if you want it to be a date

JK.98: ah ok then :)

Jungkook had seen that Hoseok read the message, but he didn't respond. He guesses they were done talking. Jungkook sighed and tossed his phone to the side.

He had nothing left to do, so Jungkook got undressed. He turned his fan on high, closed his blinds and curtains, then got under the covers on his bed. Jungkook knew it was a bit much for a nap, but he liked to be comfortable when he slept. Even if it was just for an hour or two.

Jungkook set his glasses on his bedside table. He snuggled further into the blankets, already feeling the coldness of the fan. Jungkook soon fell asleep feeling content.
