(Hoseok)

"So you're telling me that y'all didn't kiss on your date?" Suran's voice was getting shriller towards the end.

"Yeah." Hoseok's voice was exasperated yet calm.

"B-but why?"

Hoseok ran his dark gaze over Suran fake pout and the over dramatic hand over her chest.

"Its not like we haven't done it before."

"What."

Hoseok clenched his jaw.

Fuck, that was not supposed to slip out.

"You. Kissed. Him."

Hoseok nodded.

"And you didn't tell me?" her voice was annoyingly shrill towards the end.

Hoseok huffed and his face in hands.

"Stop being annoying please." Hoseok ground out. As much as he loved seeing more of the old Suran, he had forgotten there were even annoying parts of her that he disliked. Extremely annoying overdramatic parts.

Suran laughed and got up from her criss cross apple sauce position beside Hoseok. She slowly walked over to the unfinished red and black swirls that decorated one of the walls.

"Why is it that I never feel what I paint, Oppa?" Her voice was solemn, all trace of humor gone.

Hoseok stayed silent. How was he supposed to know?

Suran laughed bitterly as she understood Hoseok's silence.

Jhope.

The name resounded in him like a gong of a bell. The echo of it seemed to last forever. It was not something that time could stop.

He was given that name to show hope for other people wasn't it? He suddenly decided that he would live up at that name. Maybe some good come out of it.

"You will." Hoseok breathed out. "You will feel the colors you see, Suran. Just like I've begun to feel all the smiles I give, you will too."

Suran slowly turned to Hoseok, cocking her head like a cat before nodding at Hoseok.

"Don't you have scho-" Hoseok started like the nagging older brother he was but was cut off by Surans tortured groan.

"Ugh, don't remind me." Suran started dragging her feet toward her school to get ready for school.

Hoseok looked on with an amused smile as she froze midway and slowly turned around and looked sheepishly at Hoseok.

"Would it be fine if bought a guy home today?" Her smile was over sweet and Hoseok narrowed his eyes.

"For what." Hoseok didn't like putting dating rules down since both the twins hated an overprotective and scary Hoseok whenever they brought a guy home. Not that Suran actually brought a home before this.

"We were assigned to a dance show together as part of our project." Suran put out a hand to stop Hoseok before he could ask why she had signed up for the dance class when she didn't want to show other people that she could dance.

"It was whim of the moment, ok?" Suran said folding her hands and looking the other way making Hoseok chuckle at her sulkiness.

Suran's school was a special one. It focused on the talents and skills of a student rather than academics. An arts school of sorts, yet that didn't mean they didn't have normal subjects like normal schools.

They could choose any five subjects they wanted to specialize in, along with arts. And the school only allowed the most talented people in. Suran had taken psychology, English Lit, biology, Art and just because she needed another subject, chemistry. They could also sign up for showcases despite their actual choice of subjects, to experience and feel what other arts felt like.

Which is what Suran had done. She, an art student had signed up for a performing a dance showcase at her school.

Hoseok had brief laugh at Suran's situation before agreeing.

It would do her some good after all.

With that, Suran went to her room to get changed. A few minutes later, as Hoseok had begun preparing sandwiches for breakfast and as lunch for her to take to school, Suran came in struggling with her thick curly hair.

"Help?" Hoseok asked smiling at her, as she adorably struggled with her own hair.

A furious nod was all he got before she pushed her messy haired hair near him. Hoseok laughed before gently setting down the made sandwiches and started helping her with her hair.

She rarely came to him like this ever since that incident, before this used to be a routine since childhood. Before Lisa had begun living in the dorms in her entertainment, he used to be in charge of tying both their hairs before the went to school.

"Rani?" Hoseok asked softly, around the hair band in his mouth as he struggled to tame her hair.

"What the fuck do you even do to her hair?" Hoseok asked frowning as he finally putting it on a leash aka hairband. "It seems to have grown in size."

"That's what happens when you don't bother with trimming for a long time, Hosesuck." Hoseok was immediate to flick her head at the disrespect but she didn't even look pained.

Without even mumbling a thanks, she began stuffing her food into her mouth after he was done with her hair. The ponytail that Hoseok had pulled it into looked untidy but he knew that Suran couldnt care less about it anyways.

"Eat slowly." Hoseok reprimanded. Suran looked up at him with unintentional puppy dog eyes and a mouthful of food. Then resumed eating with the same fervor.

Shaking his head he grabbed a sandwich too. As he ate his thoughts wandered to thoughts of the white haired elder, like usual.

"So dish he tash shu?" Suran talked around her food.

"Sorry. I don't speak that language."

"Did he text you yet?" Suran said in fluent English leaving Hoseok with a blank brain in her wake. 

"Oh wait, you don't know English either" she sassed gong back to her own tongue  and Hoseok reached over to flick her forehead again but she darted away giggling.

"Remind why I put with you again."

"Because you love me." Suran stuck her tongue out and Hoseok was quick to pinch her tongue making the girl yelp.

"So did he text you yet?" Suran asked again, reaching for the bottle of water.

"No- Suran be careful, don't get it over your pinafore ple-ohmygod you just ruined your uniform." Hoseok wondered if he was going to die an early death because of this kid.

"Chill, Hoseok-ah." Suran winked at Hoseok and Hoseok rubbed his forhead in frustration.

Taking care of brats was too much work.

"It will dry." Suran reassured the elder not giving two shits about the giant ass stain on her skirt where she had spilled her water. It wasn't like the school hadn't seen her with stains after all. There wasn't a day when she came home neat, after all she was an art student.

"By the way, can you go pick up Lisa today evening when she calls you? I will be staying after school for the dance thingy." Suran spoke fast as she rushed all over the place to find her strewn assignments across the house before stuffing them into her bag.

"Why?"

Suran froze.

"You forgot?"

"U-m yeah?" his reply was hesitant. There was nothing important was there?

"Tomorrow is new year's eve! We have a small party remember?" Suran lowkey yelled.

She watched as Hoseok drew up a blank. And she dove right in before he could make up any excuse to not come.

"Its happening here, oppa, its just a few of us, beside its new years. We all have to be together and you already missed Christma-"Suran started, words shooting out of her mouth like rapid fire and Hoseok grabbed and squished her cheeks in between his hands inorder for her to stop the word vomit.

"Sweetie, please shut up." Hoseok breathed out closing his eyes in annoyance. Females and their loud noises.

"I'm coming." Suran's eyes widened in disbelief, her squished cheeks making her look like a puffy fish. "I just wanted to ask if I could bring Yoongi hyung along."

Suran grinned widely, dimples on show as he let her go, instantly regretting asking her.

"Sure sure, call your Jagiya too. The more the merrier."

Hoseok nodded and stared as Suran spaced out for a second before looking at Hoseok.

"Can I bring strawberry shortcake too?"

Hoseok frowned in confusion before Suran corrected herself, blushing in embrassment.

"I-I mean the guy I was going to dance with. I feel like I should know him a bit at least before I dance with him."

Hoseok understood where she was coming from, it was difficult building chemistry between two partners while dancing together . In order to become synchronized and attuned to each others abilities so that they could show a good performance, they needed good rapport with each other to come to each others frequencies. 

So Hoseok nodded and Suran smiled and waved goodbye before exiting the studio.

Hoseok pulled out his phone, deciding to text Yoongi.

Jhope: Hyung.

Infires man: Yes jagiya?

Jhope; stop being cheesy.

Infires man: Its called sugary remember? XDXD

Jhope; -.-

Infires man: JHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOPPPPPPPPPPPPEEEEEEE

Hoseok laughed briefly at the capitalization and extraneous amount of stretched out vowels and consonants of his new nickname.

Jhope: so I wanted to ask you something.

Infires man: Go on...

Jhope: So you want to come to my new year's eve party with me?

Hoseok was positive that Yoongi would come but the sudden thoughts of the latter having other plans crossed his mind just then as Yoongi didn't reply for a few moments. It was when Hoseok had begun cursing at himself for asking before thinking, when his phone pinged with a text.

Infires man: Hoseok...

Jhope: Its okay if you don't wanna, It didn't occur to me that u would have any other plans.

Infires man: Yeah I did have a party at my company but that's for the lonely single staff anyways.

Jhope; so..?

Infires man: I'm coming Jagiya, don't get your boxers in a twist... or was it panties ;)

Hoseok's face immediately colored at the outrageous comment before he yelled out an indigenous 'yah!' at the emotionless device in his hands.

Infires man: ah, man I wish I could see your face rn.

Jhope; fuck off.

Infires man: btw is it ok for me to bring my dongsaengs along too? They'll be lonely too. Their families are not in seoul.

Jhope; sure why not.

Infires man; Hoseok.

Jhope;yes?

Infires man: You wanna know what the best thing in my life rn?

Huh?

Infires man; Read the first word of my question.

Hosek burst out laughing at the pure cheesiness of the line.

Infires man; so whatcha say about another date?

Jhope: today?

Infires; sure why not?
