EPISODE SEVEN; J-HOPE

HOSEOK: do you mind if me and tae stay here, jin?

seokjin looks up sharply.

SEOKJIN: why? what's happened?

hoseok sighs and looks up at seokjin with pleading eyes.

HOSEOK: it's his father.

seokjin stops washing the plate in his hand, the sound of thunder and the running tap water uncontrollably loud. hoseok flinches, the nape of his neck burning.

SEOKJIN: he came back.

HOSEOK: taehyung's terrified. please. i can't have him hurt, not after he nearly died.

SEOKJIN: the fucking drunk. i'll kill him. i'll fucking kill him.

seokjin turns off the tap water.

SEOKJIN: what about jeongguk?

HOSEOK: he moved. got an apartment, and a roommate today apparently.

SEOKJIN: where?

HOSEOK: nearby. jongno-gu district.

SEOKJIN: tell him to come by. and his roommate. i wanna see him.

TAEHYUNG: woohoo! it's great to be back at seokjin's.

NAMJOON: you better be glad i didn't punch you to america.

both men are at the door, taehyung clad in a soaked cotton coat, and namjoon still in his work clothes. jimin observes how hoseok's smile lit up when he saw the candyfloss haired boy cross the apartment to fall into his arms.

TAEHYUNG: hoseok! you're so warm!

HOSEOK: and you're fucking freezing! take off your damn coat!

seokjin finishes dinner-- plain ramen, just with some greens and flavouring-- and sits beside jimin on the couch, signelling to taehyung.

SEOKJIN: tae? this is my friend, jimin. jimin, meet tae, the actual walking talking definition of "player".

TAEHYUNG: a lot of girls like me, that's all. hi, jiminie! is it okay if i call you that?

jimin nods, though he hates the nickname.

TAEHYUNG: alrighty! a new addition to the fuckboy squad!

seokjin rolls his eyes. jimin turns his head and smiles a bit.

JIMIN: h-hyung... i'm... gonna sleep...

HOSEOK: i'm gonna call it a day too.

yes, jimin thinks in triumph, as hoseok hugs taehyung goodnight and disappears into the bedroom. jimin follows, cracking his knuckles subconsiously.

HOSEOK: hey, man. you're gonna sleep too?

jimin says nothing. closes the door. licks his lips in the darkness.

HOSEOK: is it alright if i shower?

jimin moves closer.

HOSEOK: hey, jimin? chim? chim-chims?

and closer. and closer. their kneecaps brush together.

HOSEOK: jiminー

JIMIN: you won't scream. no, stop moving, hoseok. it'll be a problem if seokjin hears us.

JIMIN: should i just kill you and leave you to it?

JIMIN: nah. let's have some fun first.

JIMIN: your stomach's so nice, hoseok. should i disembowel you or just stab your guts?

JIMIN: stop screaming, hoseok.

JIMIN: they can't hear you.
