Chapter 23: A questionable feeling
At the coffee shop, Hoseok was sitting with Taehyung at a table as the younger held a small paper with the questions written all over a small notepad Jimin used before. Taehyung looked over the questions while Hoseok looked over his phone and waited to be interviewed.
"Ugh what are these questions Jimin wrote?! 'What would you do if you met an attractive boy?!' What?!" Taehyung shouted in his head. "This is stupid... Now I need to write a new set of questions!" Taehyung panicked and looked up at Hoseok. "Small change of plans... I hope you don't mind waiting a bit longer? I'm sorry... My partner gave the wrong questions. I'll come up with new ones now!" Taehyung assured as Hoseok nodded and still had on a big smile.
"No worries! Take your time. I'm all yours for the whole day!" Hoseok mentioned. Taehyung then began making up good questions on the spot. Mostly questions anyone would ask if they wanted to follow in the trail of fame. After a while of writing questions, Taehyung looked up to see Hoseok sitting across the table patiently.
"Thank you for waiting! I'm sorry.. My roommate could be crazy at times." Said Taehyung, sitting up and pushing up his glasses.
"Oh that's fine. I do nothing along my days. Practice is at every other day. But not on these weekdays. It's my break time." Hoseok said, already answering one of Taehyung's questions. "So, what do you have for me?"
"How many years is it required to train until debut?" Taehyung read off the first question and answered the other question Hoseok answered on his own.
"I've been a trainee for half a year now. I've been told I'm going to debut on my own as a solo artist. I decided to take up dance and rap!" Hoseok mentioned as Taehyung looked down at his notepad again.
"Have you ever got to travel overseas as a trainee? If so, where?"
"No, haven't travelled as a trainee. We are too busy training." Hoseok answered.
"Are you able to visit your family time to time?"
"No. Today is my only day of the week off. I can't travel all the way to Gwangju and be back here by tomorrow morning to work out and dance. There's so much work! Very tiring..."
"Do you miss your family?"
"Of course I do! But, I guess I have to do it or else I'll be waiting for nothing. You have to be strong if you'll be a trainee. It's dancing all day to be the best." The older said as he looked at the cafe menu. "Do you want anything?" Hoseok asked. Since he was older than the younger, it was only fair that he offered the boy.
"Oh! No thank you, that's okay. Let's just get this over with. I don't want to take up all of your time today while you should be resting for practice tomorrow."
"Nonsense. I'm getting you coffee and atleast a muffin!" Hoseok offered and looked at the menu. "It's my way of saying thank you. Maybe after the interview... I'd like to get to know you more. I have no one to talk to since my other friends are busy resting for the day. Do you want to hang out with me today? Do you have time?" Hoseok wondered while he kept his childish gaze locked onto the menu. Picking out the things he will get.
Taehyung took a moment and gazed down at the recorder in the box he bought for Jimin. The younger then looked up at Hoseok and smiled. "Yeah, I have nothing planned for the day. So why not? I'm in need for a friend." Taehyung mentioned. He longed to have someone there for him since, Jimin, Taehyung's partner, his best friend, was no longer going to be there for him... The younger longed to meet someone who would be there for him when times get rough.
"Then let's ditch the interview for now and focus on us. Surely the work can wait, right? When does the weekly magazine entries go in?"
"By the end of this week so we can prepare the one for next week. It's complicated. But we have limits and I like to take them and get it done soon so I can have time to edit."
"You edit the work too? What does your partner do?" Hoseok wondered. Feeling a bit concerned now.
"He does entries for his blogs. He doesn't completely own it, it's the company's website. He just takes care of the traveling blogs for others to read and decide where to go. It's a lot so he needs to constantly update with new blogs from his last traveling. That's when the recorders come in handy. He has to explore the area and record logs. Describe his surroundings and type them down. I am his personal editor to look over it after." Taehyung told Hoseok, watching the older raise his hand to get the attention of the waiter who was serving at the coffee shop. But still, Hoseok kept his gaze on Taehyung. Listening to the younger's troubles and issues he would have when it comes to working with Jimin and under the stress and pressure of getting things done on time.
"What can I do for the lovely couple?" The man asked in a tease, this left Taehyung in shock as he turned his head to Hoseok and cleared his throat. Fixing his glasses and wanting to correct the man in a pastel blue short sleeved dress shirt and white shorts levelled up to the knees. This was the uniform for employees at the coffee shop.
"Excuse me but we aren't a couple, we are-"
"A married couple! Just got hitched!" Hoseok lied and let out a cute laugh as the waiter took it as the truth. Taehyung knew Hoseok was only playing around and let out a laugh from it too. After the waiter took in the order, Taehyung kept his stare at Hoseok. But it wasn't like any other stare. It was one that showed he appreciated Hoseok's kind generosity.
"Sorry about saying you were my husband. I just love to joke around so much! Besides. I know someone like you must have someone like a girlfriend-"
"No. Just single." Taehyung corrected the older, noticing a smile on Hoseok's face again.
"Oh what is this? The old questions?" Hoseok asked, grabbing the old page of questions. "Ah! Let me interview you for fun!"
"N-No! Those questions aren't good for yo-" Taehyung then watched Hoseok's eyes glide down the page and into a a brighter smile. Close to laughing now.
"Ah, first question, Mr. Kim Taehyung! What would you do if you met an attractive boy?" Hoseok questioned and threw his eyes up to Taehyung's face. Meeting eyes and making a cute laugh. "I think I'm looking at him and doing what I wanted to. Hang out and talk to him. What about you?"
Taehyung looked down and took off his glasses, putting it on the table to show more of his attractive face. Causing Hoseok to lean in closer to continue and look at Taehyung like a beautiful piece of art in a museum. "I think.." Taehyung then met eyes with the older man again. "I'll interview him and hang out with him more. Just so we can become great friends." Taehyung stated. Realizing how this left Hoseok blushing and trying his best to hide his laughter behind the notepad with the old questions from before.

Concurrently, the movie was still playing at Jungkook's place. Yet things were silent. The boy was asleep with Jimin curled up in his arms like a small kitten wrapped up in a warm blanket. Jungkook unknowingly had his hands on the lower part of Jimin's body, close to gripping onto Jimin's ass. For Jimin, the older had his face buried against the side of Jungkook's face while his small hands fixed over Jungkook's firm and muscled chest. The two were unaware of this position they slept in but only continued their sleep throughout the film on the second time playing.
Once the movie ended again, Jimin woke up, blinking his eyes open as he noticed Jungkook was holding the boy close in his sleep. Jimin didn't know what to feel but just shock as he secretly enjoyed the feeling of the younger pressing the boy's hips against his in contact. Jimin took a moment, mesmerized by the feeling he knew Jungkook would dislike if he was awake. But it didn't hurt to enjoy such a thing like this. Well, to Jimin at least.
Jimin gazed at Jungkook's gorgeous beauty before reaching over the remote and replaying the movie so the sounds can keep Jungkook asleep. Leaving Jimin with more time with the boy like this. Jimin was starting to love this feeling with his friend and hated to enjoy this bittersweet feeling. He just longed to have a calm embrace from another because it's been a while since he would receive such attention from another. Jimin closed his eyes again and layed back on Jungkook, making sure Jungkook's hands stayed fixed on Jimin's lower back.
"Just this is what I want now." Jimin thought. "I hope he doesn't mind if I stay here a bit longer." Jimin then let out an exhale, feeling sleepy already. He enjoyed this even more than hearing Jungkook's voice serenade him to rest.
