Book Nine: Under the Mistletoe | Hoseok
There is beauty here for eyes born as free and loving souls, for the heart that hears the soft song of the wind as soothing as the sweetest of lullabies. For there are daisies that grow tall and pure upon our earth, reaching upwards in sunshine, blessed by rain, free for all to enjoy. There are the clouds who sail above, creating new art by the moment, naturally evolving from one masterpiece to the next, a perfect picture of time without hands or measure, always onward, more honest than any clock. This beauty is an ever-present season, yet it feels as a summer, one that remains regardless of all else. It is a beauty asking softly if we are going to "Scarborough Fair," and what will we do when we get there? Will we rediscover simple love and find it dwells within us too, that love is the most magical of mirrors, making not a reflection but a real seed that matters, one capable of growing. This simple beauty of nature is enough to rescue us all, it's time to believe in the humblest of beautiful miracles.
Hoseok's POV
Here I am starring at the ceiling. In the six hours I've been in bed I must have woken up three times. Not for that long each time, but enough to break my sleep into unrefreshing chunks. I sighed coming to the realization that I won't be falling asleep again anytime soon "One sleepless night is okay, I would rather be dreaming of course, yet this night becomes one extended moment of ponderance."
My grandfather once told me a sleepless night is a chance to meditate, to feel the energy of the positive world sparking at my fingertips, asking to come in let my dreams become their own night-time reality. So, I embrace it. I feel all the reasons why my soul is so perturbed and ask how I may navigate better. Even though it feels like my brain is running a one-man marathon and thoughts about Y/N is in the lead. I kept wondering what kind of powers this woman has. She must be a sorcerer, because when Yoongi came back after being out with her for a few hours, he had the biggest smile on his face. I haven't seen him this happy in ages, it almost makes me want to cry. If this woman can bring a closed off man like Yoongi out of his comfort shell, then I know she is the one for me, she is the one that vacant place in my heart has been reserved for.
Her beauty, her charisma, her demeanor is the pure essence of mother nature. No matter how much she is neglected and abused she still chooses to love and care for her us showering us with the beauty that grows from the roots of the soul.
"I have the perfect date." I grabbed my phone looking for the perfect location for what I have planned for Y/N.
Y/N's POV
I woke up, did my morning routine, and put on some cozy clothes for the day. Suddenly I remembered what happened between Jin, Yoongi, and I yesterday. I became flushed thinking about how I would face them, but then I thought about it, what we did was mutual between us. Now it's obvious that both Yoongi and Jin and possibly the other five have feelings for me.
I don't know what I feel for them exactly, but I do feel a sense of completion when I am around them. Is it possible to love more than one person at the same time? Rather than racking my brain about I decided I should head downstairs to make breakfast for me and the boys.
I opened my door and see a note taped to it "Open me."
Good morning Y/N,
I know you must be very confused from the events that has been happening to you lately. Dont worry I am here to confuse you even more, lol.
But on a serious note, I hope you will look passed your confusion and be curious enough to meet me at the Marilou Waterfront thats a few miles outside of Jolly Town for a lunch date.
P.S.
Wear something elegant, but comfy
Hoseok,
I couldn't help but to smile at the cute letter Hoseok left me "I wonder what you have planned for me Mister Hoseok."
I went to downstairs and saw only six boys sitting at the dining room table "Where is Hoseok?" I asked after looking around.
They boys briefly looked at each other silently speaking before Namjoon responded "He was gone before we arrived here."
I hesitantly nodded my head knowing they are withholding information. Jin must have noticed my uneasiness. He stood in front of me placing his hands on my waist "I'm starving princess what delicious meal will you make for us today?"
Yoongi stood behind me and placed his head in the crook of my neck giving it a slight kiss "Answer him."
Give me the strength I thought pulling myself together. I cleared my throat "Dakjuk (Korean chicken porridge), with a side of Gyeran Bokkeumbap (Egg fried rice), kimchi, and street toast. I also was planning on making some white jasmine and rose tea."
Jin bit his bottom lip distracting me from everything that is around me. My mind is foggy, and I can vaguely hear him talking to Yoongi "Seems like our baby is really taking our health into consideration, huh Yoongi?" Jin asked while making small circles on my waist.
"Aww how sweet of her." Yoongi teasingly whispered in my ear.
"Y/N get it together; you are a strong independent phenomenal woman and its time to show these men that no one taunts a phenomenal woman." Gathering all my courage and looked Jin in the eyes. He had a teasing smirk on his face that was pleasing to me. I gave him a look of determination.
"What's with that look sweetheart?" he playfully asked.
Instead of answering him, I pulled him closer to me by the collar of his shirt and planted a gentle kiss on his lips leaving him stunned by my action "Kiss me back." I demanded.
He slowly closed his eyes and kissed me back. I pulled away and then turned around and placed my arms around Yoongi's neck "One thing you should know about me is I really hate being teased." I said before also placing him a gentle kiss on his lips.
I pulled away from the kiss "I better get started on breakfast." Walking into the kitchen I could see Namjoon, Jungkook, Taehyung, and Jimin smirking at me, I gave them a quick wink and blew a kiss.
Namjoon bit his lip and winked at me, Jimin blew a kiss back, Taehyung pretended to faint, and Jungkook caught it and placed it over his heart.
"Maybe it is possible to fall in love with more than one person simultaneously."
Hoseok's POV
My focus was scattered, filled with nervous anticipation, excitement, even giddy. I could picture it already - holding hands, a tingling feeling spreading throughout my entire body. We would take a walk through the park and count the ducks; it seemed the most natural thing in all the world. And she, will be my special girl.
I know myself. I know I am a person who can't hold a conversation or sit still while his thoughts danced in infinite directions. Yet I must get through this lunch date in one piece. I was so busy in my thoughts I didn't notice the waiter walking up to me "Excuse me sir, your guest has arrived."
"Okay bring her here... wait did you prepare what I asked for?"
"Of course, sir just give us the signal when you are ready."
"Thank you."
"My pleasure sir." He left and came back with Y/N shortly afterwards.
It takes a second or two for the new information to sink it, even though it is right before my eyes, larger than life. Then I feel my lips stretch wider into gaping grin and my eyebrows arch for the sky. She's made it. She's here. And in the seconds that follow I can feel her squeezing her arms around me and my arms reciprocating.
Amazement doesn't quite cover it. I feel like someone just took my spark of wonder and poured on kerosene. The smile I show on the outside doesn't reflect what I feel inside; it's like every neuron of my brain is trying to fire in both directions at once - the best kind of paralysis.
Her clothes were so casual and yet dressy. Her wide necked turtleneck sweater matched with a caramel brown trench coat, dark brown leggings and leather purse, cute brown boots, and gold accessories. So how come on her those same clothes garbled my brain to mush, stopping me from stringing a simple sentence together. Like, "Hey, I'm glad you made it safely."
She released the hug "Hoseok I missed our joyful talks this morning and black looks so chic on you."
Pulling the chair out for her "Thank you and I'm sorry I missed our morning talk to, but now we can talk as much as we want over a hot meal and a beautiful view."
"You know all these years of being here I never knew this place was here. Well, I am mostly a homebody so thats not surprising."
I smiled placing her napkin in her lap "Well, I'm honored to be the one to show you this."
The waiter came and placed our food on the table "I hope you don't mind, but I order for us."
She gave me a reassuring smile "It's okay I am not a picky eater, and I am never opposed to trying something new." There was sunshine in her smile and her voice went right to my brain like a shot of single malt.
Our conversations are so much more than words. It is the smiles, the gentle shrugs, and the light in our eyes. That we are both elevated by each other's presence is obvious and even the silences are comfortable. And as the hours go by it becomes the best conversation I've ever had too, it flows, with listening and intelligent responses. I guess that's what happens when two loving people meet and connect.
These are moments you should savor the company of the other and feel that sense of peace that comes from feeling loved and protected, within the arms of friendship.
I think this is the time. I scratched my left ear signal our waiter that it's time do what we discussed earlier. I held her hands firmly in mines making her stand up along with me "I have something very important to say." She looked at me confused but followed along. I took a deep breath for continuing "Y/N for the moment I laid my eyes on you I knew you were someone I wanted to keep in my life. You literally had me at hello. I am aware this is sudden, but will you please make me the happiest man in the world by accepting my confession?"
In the corner of my eye, I could see the waiter approaching.
Y/N's POV
Honestly, I had my answer before coming here. I knew deep down they have already been engraved in my heart. Part me wanted to sit them all down and tell them about my feeling at once, but the other part of me didnt want to spoil their confessions. He went out of his way on such short notice to make this day special for me. He confessed to me without expecting something in return, how can I not like him back?
So, when I saw the waiter hold a mistletoe over our heads I didn't hesitate, I kissed him. At this moment nothing else matter but us. I can faintly hear clapping and cheers. He pulled away and placed his forehead on mines. I could feel the heat growing in my cheeks. By now they must be beyond an attractive rosiness. But I didn't mind because the precious person in front of me deserves this type of reaction.
"How did I get so lucky to conquer the sun?" I cooed.
