"Babe! Babe!" You could hear Hoseok's sock clad feet sliding around on the floor of your shared apartment. When the 'what' you called back failed to reach his ears, he called again.

"BAAAAAAAAAAAABE!" You rolled your eyes and turned to shout back.

"WHA~" Hoseok clamped his hand around your mouth, effectively cutting you off.

"There's no need to yell, I'm right here!" You stamped your feet indignantly and Hoseok laughed.

"I'm kidding! Anyway, I have something REALLY important to show you!" He grabbed your hand and lead you out of the living room and through the hall to the living room, where a package sat on the coffee table.

"My book came in the mail today!" You sighed.

"Hobi, that's great, enjoy reading it." You went to leave but he grabbed your wrist again.

"No, Y/N, MY book came in the mail." He stood tapping his toes and smirking at you expectantly. When you didn't answer, he sighed in defeat and began to open the box.

"It's my book! I wrote it!" You frowned and looked speculatively at the cardboard box.

"Okay, so you wrote a book and had it published? All without telling me?" Hoseok laughed again and took the book out of it's packaging.

"Not published, I just had two copies printed! One's here with us, and the other's being sent to Yoongi-hyung's place! See!! Look at the title!" He shoved the book under your nose, and you backed up so you could read it.

"'Reason Why You Should NOT Wake Yoongi-hyung as Written by Jung Hoseok'! Hobi! Really?"

You held the book and stared up at him with your best "I'm mad but not really" eyes. You then began to sneak back a little bit.

"I guess I'm going to have to read this!" You then turned and sprinted back to the room you and Hoseok shared and locked the door. Hobi ran right into the door, and you heard the little plop his cute butt made as he landed on the carpeted floor outside the door. Thinking about his butt made you giggle and Hoseok heard you through the door.

"Why are you laughing! That book was written in pure seriousness!" This made you laugh more, and you called back to him.

"I'll be the judge of that! Why don't you go out with Jungkook and try to help him get a girlfriend? I'll read your book and then check on Yoongi. You know, make sure he's not going to kill you!" With that last statement, you could imagine the look of pure terror Hoseok's face adopted when he thought of the destruction the rapper could rain down on him.

You heard him sigh. "Alright, you win this time Y/N, but I will get a point on this board soon."

"Hobi, we've been dating for three years and you have yet to 'get a point on the board' as you say."

He laughed a little at that and you heard him pulling a jacket on and preparing to leave. "I love you, Y/N, enjoy wading through my life's work!"

You laughed again, "I love you too, Hobi!"

You heard the door shut, and you exited the room to go read on the couch in the living room.

A few hours later, you turned the final page of Hobi's book. To say you were impressed would be an understatement. This book was not just one giant joke, but a memoir of the time Hoseok had been with Bangtan. It had started with his initial scouting and ended just before the release of "WINGS", the group's newest album. The last few chapters had mentioned a little about the album, but seeing as it takes some time to print these things, he was unable to include anything about how ARMY had worked so hard to push the group's title track to new heights, or the success the boys had experienced in terms of award shows and what not. It was actually very touching. You could definitely tell that it was Hobi who had written it though. HIs voice came alive through the words and the little jokes and puns he had made throughout the book. There were even pictures and little hand drawn doodles.

It was very different from what you had expected, but you were far from disappointed. You checked the clock, and seeing as it was around six, you decided to start dinner so that it was warm when Hobi, and possibly Jungkook, came home. When you stood, you failed to notice the little note that slipped from the back of the book.

Hoseok opened the door, and was met by the comforting aroma of rice and meat and vegetables.

"Y/N? I'm home babe!" He called to you as he removed his jacket and shoes and walked into the kitchen. He was met by your warm embrace and your face being nuzzled into his neck. Through the muffling he could make out you saying how much you loved his book.He pulled away a little bit so he could see your face.

"You really liked it?" When he had sent it off to be printed he had only been maybe 70% sure you would like it, so this reaction warmed his heart.

"Oh my gosh, Hoseok! It was so beautifully written and your voice! It shone through every word - which is a very good thing, I might add - and your little doodles! The way you told your story while simultaneously telling that of the whole group!" You hugged him again before continuing, "It was so perfect."

While he was glad to hear this, he was a little sad you hadn't said anything about the note in the back.

"And..." He whispered into your neck.

"And what?" Perhaps you were just playing around with the whole thing because you didn't want to accept.

"And what did you think of my note? You know, the little one I left just for you in the very back?"

You pulled fully away now.

"What note? I didn't see anything of the sorts." You hurried into the living room, and Hoseok followed. There, lying on the couch, was his little life changing note. It was unread and looked like it had fallen out.

"Oh!" You picked the little square of paper up, unfolded it and began to read. After a few seconds, which seemed like eons to Hoseok, you dropped the note and rushed him.

"Of course I will Hobi! I love you so much!" At this, Hoseok's shoulders instantly relaxed and he wrapped his arms around you in the tightest embrace he could give without crushing you beautiful form.

"I was so anxious about your reaction the whole time I was out with Jungkook. He actually left me for a girl because he was so annoyed! A girl! Our Jungkookie willingly left my presence to be with a girl! I'm going to have to write another book and propose to you again because this is huge!" You giggled into his chest and hugged him harder.

"So, did you actually send this to Yoongi?" You asked genuinely. Hoseok's chest vibrated with a deep laugh, belonging entirely to him.

"I sent a copy to each brother, I'm expecting Jimin to be over soon. He'll be responding to my proposal in a fashion similar to yours." You laughed quietly and reached up to kiss your Hobi on the lips.

"I love you, Hoseok." You whispered against his lips. He smiled and kissed you again.

"I love you too, Y/N."
