Yoongi just left the restaurant after his morning shift on Monday and was walking to Hoseok's dance studio. Hoseok didn't mention what his plans were and he still had to teach the remaining half-hour of his class, but he welcomed Yoongi to come by anyway.

He arrived at the building and automatically began to walk around to the employee entrance where he went nearly every morning with Hoseok before remembering that he should probably use the main entrance instead. He walked through the short hallway to the studio floor and could hear Hoseok shouting, "Remember to coordinate your breath with your movement. You want to leave the audience breathless, not yourself!"

He lingered in the doorway, suddenly aware of how many people were in the class. This number was visibly doubled thanks to the mirrored wall.

Hoseok was next to one of his students, modeling how to balance her breathing with the steps when he saw his boyfriend's anxious expression in the mirror. He turned around and perked up even more, if possible, and proceeded in his direction with silly movements that he hoped would distract him from his looming anxiety.

Yoongi hugged him tightly and cracked into a smile, feeling the tightness in his chest disappear. "Thank you."

"For what?"

"For being my sunshine."

"Anytime." Hoseok refrained from giving his boyfriend more than a peck, as his nosy students were all around them.

"You can sit on the piano bench," he continued, glancing at the clock. "There are maybe... twenty minutes left before I have them do cool-down stretches and then dismiss. Feel free to criticize students at the back who think I can't see them slacking." He winked and raised his voice at the last sentence.

Yoongi sat down and zoned out as he watched Hoseok circulating through the room, giving praise and pointers and shutting down any vocalizations of self-doubt from his students. He could see the inspiration on the faces of Hoseok's students at his supportive words even though they were practically dying from exhaustion after trying to perfect every movement.

Yoongi's eyes continued to follow Hoseok throughout the lesson. He couldn't believe it had been only three weeks since they started seeing each other. He wondered what he did to deserve to be able to even know Hoseok, let alone be his boyfriend. Hoseok truly was a ray of sunlight, allowing everyone around him to absorb his positivity with smiling eyes and no inclination of holding back. He pursued his dreams and had a real talent that made him happy.

And Yoongi...? All he was was a man with a dying passion who, daily, had to convince his shadow that he was someone worth following.

Before he knew it, Hoseok clapped his hands three times and the noise broke Yoongi out of his thoughts. "Okay guys, great work today! Partner up for stretches and then get on with your lives. I'll see you on Wednesday."

As the students left the building, Hoseok began cleaning up the studio and peeling the masking tape off of the spots on the floor marked for this lesson. He swept the floor and carried the mats that some students had forgotten to put away after stretches into their rightful place.

While his boyfriend cleaned, Yoongi softly played the piano. When Hoseok was done, he sat beside him on the bench and laid his head on his shoulder, just listening to the soothing melody.

When the song ended he simply stated, "You're so good."

Yoongi changed the subject. "So where do you want to go?" He punctuated his question with a peck to Hoseok's forehead.

"I don't know," Hoseok shrugged, "but first I need to go shower. I'll be quick. You're okay on your own?"

"Of course."

Hoseok disappeared into the hallway that led to the locker room. Without the music playing in the echoey studio, Yoongi could hear the shower start up.

He'd only been scrolling through his phone for less than a minute when Hoseok reappeared in the doorway.

"Actually... do you..." Hoseok bit his lip and looked down at the floor.

He found his courage again and looked back into Yoongi' s eyes. "Do you wanna join me?"

The older stared for a few moments before realizing he should audibly answer. "Really?"

Hoseok nodded and Yoongi couldn't breathe. But this time in the best way possible.
