Chapter 9: "Everything The Light Touches"

Siwon walked aboard the boat in his captains outfit, ready to sail off. Somehow, he had convinced the Bangtan members and their mates to take a trip to Hawaii for two weeks. He only did this because he wanted to drive the boat.

Siwon: All aboard! We leave in 5 minutes!

Yukina: *sitting in a lawnchair* Ah, Hawaii, a girls best friend.

Chanyeol: *pulling Jimin to the front of the boat* You see that? That's water. I swear to god if you jump off the boat again you will end up at the bottom of it.

Jimin: Ok, I won't enjoy my life.

Chanyeol: No near death experiences is life for you?

Jimin: Would you believe me if I told you yes?

Chanyeol: *grabs a bottle of Whiskey* I'll be keeping this. *walks down the steps*

Tae: Come on Yoongi! There's a bed on the second level where you can sleep.

Yoongi: Really?

Tae: Yes.

Yoongi: *runs down the steps*

Joon: *sitting next to Yukina* You ready for two weeks in Hawaii with BTS?

Yukina: If I can survive one day in pet smart with Taehyung and Yeontan, I can definitely do this.

The others crowded on the boat, taking up space on the top floor. Heechul led Hoseok to the front of the boat as the sunset cascaded over the water.

Heechul: Isn't it beautiful?

Hoseok: Yeah. It reminds me of the lion king.

Heechul: How?

Hoseok: Remember that scene where Mufasa and Simba were sitting on the overlook and Mirada said, "Everything the light touches, is your kingdom?" .

Heechul: Yeah. I do. *looks at the sky* *looks at Hoseok* Why the sad face?

Hoseok: I used to look at the sunset with Wendy. We would drive up the road in Gwangju to the mountain and look at the sky together. *looks at him* Do you think at one point she actually loved me?

Heechul: *sighs* I don't know man. Women are unpredictable.

Hoseok: Are you unpredictable?

Heechul: What?

Hoseok: Do you actually care about me? Or are you going to leave me in the end and try to crush my heart like she did?

Heechul: I would never do that.

Hoseok: I thought she wouldn't either. She promised she wouldn't leave me, ever. *stands* But just like my sister, she lied.

He walked down to the second floor, leaving Heechul looking in his direction. Seokjin noticed this and walked over to Heechul, sitting where Hoseok was.

Jin: What was that about?

Heechul: He's still upset about Wendy.

Jin: Hmm. I know.

Heechul: He thinks I might leave him just like she did.

Jin: Will you?

Heechul: No. No I won't.

Jimin: *joins them* What's this party about old timers?

Jin: Hoseok is still upset about the whole situation with Red Velvet.

Jimin: I can tell. *looks at Heechul* You sure have a handful on your hands.

Heechul: *looks at the water* How long will it take him to get over this?

Jimin: No telling. Wendy was his world.

Jin: He loved her so much. He loves you too.

Jimin: Do you love him?

Heechul: *silent*

Jin: Do you?

Heechul: *looks at them* I don't know yet. I don't know if I can deal with hearing about Wendy 24/7.

Hoseok: Then go find someone else.

Heechul: Oh...Hoseok.

Hoseok: She was my entire heart. I loved her more than I love myself! What she did hurt me beyond the deepest layers of my heart. It brought back memories, old memories. Things I never wanted to have to deal with again.

Heechul: *looking at him*

Hoseok: So if you don't care about that, and you can't stand to hear about what she did to me, then find someone else to date. Because I will not be with another person who tosses me away like trash.

Heechul: That's not what I meant.

Hoseok: Then what did you mean! You said you don't think you can deal with hearing about Wendy! She did the same thing to me that my sister did! She left me, alone, with no one else to go to. When I came to Seoul, me sister came with me. She promised that she would never leave my side and me with me until the very end. But as soon as we made our debut...she left. She left Seoul, and me. I felt just alone as I do now.

Everyone looks at them, wondering what Hoseok was talking about.

Jimin: I'm sorry, Hoseok, we didn't know.

Hoseok: Of course you didn't. No one did. No one cared, no one does care. But they care about you, about Seokjin, about Namjoon, Taehyung, Jungkook, and Yoongi. But not me! They never treated me like they treat you six. *looks at the sky* No one cares about me. If I died today, or tomorrow, they'd all forget about me as soon as they saw me. *walks toward the steps*

Tae: Hoseok, you know that we care about you right?

Hoseok: Of course I do...it's your job. *goes back down the steps*
