"So what's with the sudden lunch date, Miss Kim?" Hoseok teased as their food arrived. 

The two dancers had agreed to meet up the next day after the party and to say that both had been excited for the event was an understatement. The rapper had been cheerful all evening, not that he wasn't bright anyway, but this time, it was more exuberant.

Soojae had flopped onto her bed when she'd returned home, a bright smile on her face, excited for the next day but also confused as to where she'd received the sudden confidence from.

"I thought we agreed to meet, Mr Jung," Soojae played along much to the older's amusement.

"You were very confident yesterday, Jae," Hoseok smirked "Almost a little too confident, care to explain?"

"The alcohol in my system?" The younger girl said shyly as the male dancer laughed.

"I thought you weren't allowed to drink," He poised.

"When does anybody listen to that rule," Soojae chuckled lightly "Besides, is it really Jackson's party if you don't end up drinking at one point?"

"True that,"

...

"Thank you for today," Soojae bowed her head, smiling at the older boy "I enjoyed our lunch day,"

"So did I," Hoseok's dimples showed as he beamed "Next time, it's a dance date,"

"D-date?" Soojae blinked, cheeks heating up as the older laughed at her flustered moment.

"That's right, Jae," He whispered, leaning closer as he tucked a stray lock behind her ears "A date,"

...

"How was your lunch with J-Hope sunbaenim?" Lisa questioned, clinging onto the older girl as she shut the door.

"He, er, he asked me on a d-date," Soojae mumbled although anyone could tell that she was thrilled with the idea.

"Really?" Chaeyoung's eyes widened in happiness for her unnie. "Unnie, that's awesome!"

"Looks like someone's getting her wish come true," Jisoo teased much to the younger girl's shyness as she hid behind Jennie.

"It's only another dance session," She said softly "It's not like it's a date, even though he said those words,"

"Jae, you two have gone out now just the two of you for the last two times," Jennie snickered "Do you really think that it's not a date?"

"Maybe he's just being friendly?" Soojae defended, although, her heart was leaping at the possibility.

Did Jung Hoseok like her as more than a friend?

...

"I heard that you and Jae went out today," Jackson smirked at his friend who was opposite of him.

Got7 and BTS were known for being good friends in the industry, and it wasn't rare for them both to have meet-ups in their dormitories or a restaurant or anywhere in general. They had a chaotic and entertaining friendship. It also meant that if anything happened involving either one of the groups, the other would find out immediately.

"Lunch date," Hoseok's mind drifted back towards the shy girl whom he had taken a great liking to. 

"So that's why you weren't home, today," Jin nodded in understanding "How was it?"

"Really good," The younger boy responded, a happy smile decorating his face "We're having a dance session soon as well,"

"What is it with you two and dance sessions?" Jinyoung mumbled.

"Hyung's got a girlfriend?" Apparently Jungkook had only heard half of the conversation as he, Yugyeom and BamBam popped their heads round the corner in interest "Who?"

"She's not my girlfriend," Hoseok said "Not yet, anyway,"

"You've liked her since we all met backstage," Namjoon raised an eybrow "Better ask her fast,"

"That's true," Mark nodded firmly "We've all seen the looks all of Blackpink get. You don't know how many idols look at Jae like that,"

"You don't know how many idols have asked me for her number," Jinyoung said darkly.

"Protective are we?" Yoongi sent a lazy smile towards Jackson and Jinyoung.

"I've known that girl since she was thirteen," The latter muttered "She's pure and innocent and too kind for her own good. She's always been like that,"

"Taking care of others before she takes care of herself," Jackson spoke distinctly.

Jinyoung turned to look at Hoseok who tilted his head, curious as to what the vocalist would say.

"Take care of her, Hobi. And if you ever hurt her, then it'll be me you're dealing with,"
