Chapter Text
For the 10th time that night, Hoseok brings his phone up with his trembling fingers to unlock it and check his text and call log.
No new activity
“Excuse me” Hoseok quickly looked up while locking his phone, and his heart that quickly sped up slowed down as he was met with the same pair of sympathetic eyes that had been serving his cup after cup of water.
“Refill?” she asked as she motioned towards the jug in her hand. Hoseok’s face scrunched up because she could clearly see that he hadn’t touched the previous cup she had pourn, but he only smiled and shook his head “No thanks” he voiced and winced at his cracking vocals. The waitress smiled only to turn to gossip more about him to her fellow staff. (At Least that’s what Hoseok thought she was doing because nearly everyone, in the almost empty diner, were shooting his a useless look of sympathy).
As his phone chimed Hoseok quickly opened it up, but only felt even worse when he realized who it was.
-Jin
Come home right now Hoseok.
I fixed dinner so we can eat it together.
:)
Hoseok wanted to fling the phone across the diner and out the window. Sure he loved Seokjin, but Seokjin also had a habit of treating others like his charity case. Maybe Seokjin was right (as usual).
Hoseok sighed and decided to admit defeat by standing up to collect his belongings. As he pulled his jacket tighter to his body and stuffed both hands in his pockets Hoseok felt a pair of hands on his shoulders. “Hey, leaving so soon?” Hoseok jumped from the unrecognizable voice and shifted his head to the left. This guy wouldn't try anything, they were in a public place.
“Just sit back down, I promise I’m not gonna hurt you”
Hoseok listened to the voice as the guy Hoseok’s jacket from his arms only to fold it and place it neatly beside him.
When they both sat down (in the same booth on the same side), Hoseok got a chance to look at the man before him.
The shorter man beside him was absolutely gorgeous, and Hoseok almost forgot he just got stood up. With with pale skin, pitch black hair, sharp narrow eyes and raspberry color lips the man could possibly pass for being an idol being how gorgeous he was.
“You catch flies like that” the man said as he laughed and pulled his arms from his jacket. Hoseok suddenly became very self aware and looked down at the warm cup of water he almost abandoned. “I’m Yoongi” ‘Yoongi’ suddenly said as he lifted the menu. “Min Yoongi” he added as his eyes scanned over the various types of food. “J-Jung Hoseok” Hoseok stuttered as he watched the Min Yoongi fellow lower his menu and lift his hand to call the same waitress over.
“Yes?” Hoseok noticed the change in the waitress’ voice and looked up to see her staring down at Yoongi with glistening, wide eyes. “Could we order two platters of pizza. What kind do you eat?” Once Hoseok realized Yoongi was talking to him, he answered with a quiet. “P-Pepperoni”
“Two Pepperoni, an order of large fries and more water for now” the waitress nodded as she jogged to the front of the area.
Hoseok with his hands folded into his lap wrapped his lips around the straw in his water and took a small sip. “Hey” Hoseok looked to his right to see Yoongi a little closer than usual and removed his mouth from the straw. “I know it wasn’t me you were here with, but you’re cute and I saw you were by yourself. If you don’t mind...” Yoongi gestured towards the menu and Hoseok shrugged before blushing deeper than before and chuckling. “Thanks...you’re not so bad yourself”
For three hours the two were talking. Talking about how Hoseok’s friend and roommate Jin liked to bring his boyfriend over and fuck until dusk breaks to dawn. Talking about how it couldn’t be worse than the week he was awoken from his slumber four times by his neighbor deciding burning one bag of popcorn in the middle of the night wasn’t bad enough, so he decided to burn three more.
The boys laughed as they were closer in proximity than they were a few hours ago. As both boys reached for the last slice on the third platter they ordered their hands bumped. “Oh- sorry-”
“Ah shit- my- my bad-” both boys laughed as Hoseok threw his head back and Yoongi buried his head in his hands. “Rock, paper scissors?” Hoseok offered. Yoongi nodded as they threw the first few signals down. “Ah! Best out of three?” Yoongi offered and Hoseok picked the slice up. “No thanks”
“Ah, don’t be like that” Yoongi whispered as he grabbed a hold of Hoseok’s wrist guiding the pizza towards his mouth. Hoseok’s mouth, once again, dropped open as he watched Yoongi’s tongue flatten and rub the top of the pizza in a slow, languid motion.
This was obviously the wrong time for Hoseok to be popping boners, but it happened.
By the time Hoseok regained the ability to speak and move Yoongi had stuffed the entire pizza in his mouth in three quick bites. “Ah” Hoseok watched as Yoongi wiped his fingers before pushing Yoongi. “You’re such a dick!” Yoongi laughed as he went to take a sip of his cola.
“Excuse me”
The pair looked up at the waitress that had been serving them all night and she put the tab down on the table. “I’m sorry, but it’s about time to close”
Hoseok quickly looked down at his watch on his right wrist and cursed, but thanked the woman. “What is it?” Yoongi asked reaching into his pocket. “My roommate is gonna kill me! I didn’t text him back- What are you doing?” Yoongi handed to card to the waitress and smiled. “My treat”
“N-No! I dragged you into this. I have to pay”
“Pay next time”
“Next time?”
Suga grabbed a napkin and scribbled his name and number on it before folding it and handing it to Hoseok. “Next time” he clarified as his card was handed back to him, and they both stood up walking out of the establishment.
“I was wondering…” Yoongi began to say as he peeked at Hoseok (which Hoseok caught). “Why were you alone?” Hoseok stared out not exactly remembering-
“Ah” Hoseok’s eyebrows flew up and he smiled. “I was stood up. A guy I had been talking to just didn’t show up”
“I see”
Hoseok bumped Yoongi’s shoulder lightly “In any case, I had a lot of fun with you. Even if the only thing we did was sit in a booth” Yoongi smiled and lightly bumped back. “Well on our next date we’ll be moving around” Hoseok smiled as his ears tinted pink. “Okay…”
