Words aren't enough to express how much hobi means to me, but this post isn't the time for that! here's a cute lil thread for hobi day, hope he has the loveliest day full of time spent with people he loves and cherishes.
Hoseok shuts off the live, sitting back in his chair, sighing. He's a bit worn out, having to jump from platform to platform to talk to ARMYs. He hadn't anticipated so many technical difficulties and had been flustered, but overall, he's happy that he got to go live.
Every time his birthday comes around, Hoseok thinks he'll never get used to the amount of love and support he receives from ARMY. From all the birthday projects to messages of love and support all over SNS, Hoseok wonders what he did in a past life to receive so much love.
He can only hope to return the love shown to him in full through his actions, through the music that he plans to release later, both solo and with the group.
The live had been a lot of fun, talking about what he's been up to, reading miscellaneous weverse posts.

He giggles, thinking about the five jks vs five year old jk question. A five year old Jungkook would be adorable, he thinks. Five Jungkooks might be too much, Hoseok isn't sure how he would handle that.
His mind conjures up five Jungkooks trying to cuddle him and he barks out a laugh. Yeah, definitely too much.
Jungkook. Thinking about Jungkook makes him think about the other members and suddenly he realizes how tired he is, how he wants to go back to the dorm to rest.

He gets up from his chair, stretching out his arms, feeling his back crack. He exhales, feeling exhaustion creep into his bones, and starts taking down the photos. He gathers them all in one pile, smiling at each memory as he removes it from the wall.
Memories from this past year are scattered over the wall. 2020 had been a year no one expected, but Hoseok thinks that they did the best they could with the circumstances. Releasing a single, a whole album, online concerts.
Their schedule was still packed in 2020 and he's thankful that he was able to keep busy, while also having more time to himself, oddly enough. Overall, Hoseok is grateful for the opportunities he had, and is optimistic for 2021.
He laughs seeing the multiple photos of his purple velvet suit. What can he say? He thinks it was one of his best looks yet. ARMY certainly agreed, from what SNS posts Hoseok caught wind of.
A soft smile settles on his face as he takes down the photos of him with other members.
A soft smile settles on his face as he takes down the photos of him with other members.
There's a small pang of longing. Even though he sees his members quite frequently, he can't seem to spend enough time with them. He also had spent most of the day cooped up in his studio working on music, and therefore had no idea what any of them had been up to.
He looks forward to coming back to the dorm, to seeing all of their faces, hopefully, before retiring to his and Jimin's shared room for the night. He's already really sleepy and knows he probably wouldn't be up for much longer if he can help it.
As he finishes tidying up around the room, he checks his phone. There's a lot of messages, many from friends and acquaintances wishing him a happy birthday. He smiles, sending responses to everyone, taking special care to reply to his family.
Dawon has sent him a selca of the family, along with a pic of Mickey with a bunch of crying emojis. Hoseok sighs, staring at the photo of Mickey before sending back a bunch of happy and sad emojis. Thankfully, he'll get to go home for a bit, and will see Mickey then.
A staff member knocks on his door, saying his van is ready when he is, and he promises to be right out. As he continues to respond to other messages, he notices the messages in the bangtan group chat growing steadily in number.
He's not purposely avoiding the chat, but he knows once he replies, the messages will only skyrocket.
At some point, the messages from others slow down, and Hoseok decides he can open up the bangtan groupchat. As he walks down the hall, he laughs at all the messages he sees.

It's a video of Jungkook, curled up in Hoseok's bed, buried underneath the covers. He's sleeping, peacefully unaware of Taehyung filming him. He snuffles a bit, turns on his other side, mumbling something about "Hobi-hyung". It makes Hoseok's heart burst.
[SJ]: only jungkook could sleep through jimin's wailing

This video shows Jimin jumping on top of Jungkook, who loudly protests. "Hoseokie-hyung's coming home, wake up wake up!!"
Jungkook shoots up in bed, still looking a bit sleep dazed. "Whuh? He is?"
Hoseok swears he can see the galaxies in Jungkook's eyes from this.

It's well into the night at this point as Hoseok looks out the window en route to the dorm. Night life in Seoul is busy as ever, the skyline brightly lit up, illuminating the dark sky.


It's well into the night at this point as Hoseok looks out the window en route to the dorm. Night life in Seoul is busy as ever, the skyline brightly lit up, illuminating the dark sky.
There's a growing pit of excitement in Hoseok's stomach. It might seem silly to someone, anticipating going home to people he's lived with for years now, who are basically family at this point, but there's an inexplicable fondness that will never go away.
How could one ever get tired of coming home to those they love?
The excitement grows exponentially as he rides the elevator up to their dorm. He taps his finger impatiently against the side of the elevator, watching the floor numbers increase.

Finally he's standing in front of the door to the dorm. His heart is thumping in his chest and he places his hand over it, wanting to calm down a bit. He bites back a smile, feeling a bit silly over how he feels, but honestly can't wait to see his members.
He punches in the code for the door and opens it. "I'm home!" Hoseok steps inside and toes off his shoes, neatly placing them in his designated spot before sliding on some slippers.
The dorm is eerily quiet. "Hello?" Hoseok calls out, hesitantly stepping into the living room.

"Surprise!"
Hoseok has about a second before he's tackled in a tight hug, his cheek smushed against a bare shoulder. He inhales, catching a whiff of fabric softener.
Jungkook.

Jungkook.
"Not fair!" A voice bellows, Hoseok hearing socked feet thwack against the floor. Another warm body slams into him, this time, the scent of peaches wafting into Hoseok's nose.
Jimin.
Jimin.
"You totally cheated, I was supposed to hug Hobi-hyung first," Jimin whines loudly, straight into Hoseok's ear. "You shoved me down before running out here! Foul play!"
"We didn't agree to that! We didn't agree to any rules," Jungkook retorts, tightening his grip around Hoseok.
"We didn't agree to that! We didn't agree to any rules," Jungkook retorts, tightening his grip around Hoseok.
"Since when did this become a competition," Hoseok mutters, but it falls on deaf ears as Jungkook and Jimin continue to bicker.
Taehyung emerges from around the corner, laughing when he catches sight of Hoseok trapped in between Jimin and Jungkook.

"Jungkook totally spoiled it," he snorts, dryly looking over at the maknae. "We're not even ready yet, and he's already out here shouting 'Surprise!'."
Hoseok notices Taehyung shuffling in place, looking a bit lost, and he smiles softly, beckoning him over.

Taehyung brightens at the invitation, bounding over and colliding straight into the group. The force is enough to topple all of them, thankfully onto carpet and not tile, with Hoseok landing mostly on top of Jungkook.
Jimin and Jungkook loudly protest, berating Taehyung as he simply grins at them, laughing and paying them no mind. Hoseok just huffs a laugh, fondly watching the maknae line chatter as he rests his cheek on Jungkook's chest, feeling the rise and fall of the maknae's breathing.
"You look really cozy, there."
Hoseok turns and sees Namjoon, crouched down, smiling softly at him. He reaches out a hand to cup Hoseok's cheek. "Hi Namjoonie," Hoseok hums, leaning into the touch.

To his surprise, Namjoon leans down and softly brushes a kiss over Hoseok's lips. "Happy birthday, Hoba."
Hoseok blinks, mouth opening and closing. It's rare for Namjoon to initiate affection. It makes Hoseok feel special, that Namjoon chose to greet him like this.

He stares at Namjoon, unbelievingly, until Namjoon slightly flushes. "What?"
"You kissed me."
"And?" Namjoon looks worried. "Did you not like it?"
"You kissed me."
"And?" Namjoon looks worried. "Did you not like it?"
"No it's not that!" Hoseok shakes his head. "I was just shocked, that's all. Maybe you need to, you know. Do it again. Didn't quite catch that."
Namjoon's expression melts into an amused one. "Again, huh," he teases, but he obliges, pressing a firmer kiss to Hoseok's lips.

Hoseok feels a burst of butterflies with this kiss, and his tilts his head so that their lips slot together better. Namjoon's lips are plush, warm, and slightly taste of americano. Hoseok pulls back, about to scold Namjoon for drinking coffee at such a late hour -
"Are you serious??"
Hoseok and Namjoon jerk their heads to see the maknae line staring at them. Jimin has his hands on his lips, looking infuriated while Jungkook and Taehyung look on in interest.

"Namjoon-hyung, you weren't listening when we were calling dibs, huh?" Jimin pouts, shooting daggers at Namjoon.
Namjoon holds up his hands, biting back a laugh. "Sorry, Jimin-ah, totally forgot about that. Can I make it up to you?"
Namjoon holds up his hands, biting back a laugh. "Sorry, Jimin-ah, totally forgot about that. Can I make it up to you?"
Jimin squawks as Namjoon ungracefully envelops him in a hug. Hoseok laughs as he observes Jimin continue to scold Namjoon, but he can see the pleased flush spreading across Jimin's face. It's hard to be angry at Namjoon, especially if he's holding you.
"Hoseok-ah."
Hoseok turns and sees Yoongi shuffling out of his room, rubbing his eyes. Yoongi comes over, sitting down and patting Hoseok's cheek."Hi hyung," Hoseok replies, accepting the brief kiss Yoongi gives him.

"Oh my god, we're just really ignoring all the rules, huh? Where's the respect in this household?" Jimin sighs, curling further into Namjoon, shooting a petulant look at Yoongi.
"When the opportunity presents itself, why wouldn't you take it?" Yoongi shrugs, looking unbothered.
"When the opportunity presents itself, why wouldn't you take it?" Yoongi shrugs, looking unbothered.
"Yah, you know what's disrespect?" Seokjin pokes his head out from the kitchen. "The fact that I'm doing all this work alone and no one. NO ONE. Is helping me. You all are terrible people."
Seokjin comes into view fully, hands on his hips, head tilted to the side,. The longer everyone stares at him, the redder he turns, the flush endearingly extending down to his chest. "What? Why is everyone staring?"
"Nothing," the group choruses, Taehyung, Yoongi, and Jungkook getting up to help Seokjin in the kitchen. Yoongi pats Seokjin's shoulder consolingly, Taehyung kissing the side of Seokjin's head, while Jungkook grabs Seokjin in a hug, planting a loud kiss on his red chest.
"Gah!" Seokjin yells, shoving at Jungkook, but he's fighting back a smile. "Gross! Not right now! Let's finish up Hoseok's birthday prep."
As they busy themselves in the kitchen, Jimin pulls Hoseok into their room. "Figured you'd wanna change," Jimin says, setting clean clothes onto Hoseok's bed.
Hoseok sighs in relief, immediately peeling off his clothes.

He bends over to pick up the shorts when Jimin lands a swift smack to his ass. Hoseok shoots Jimin a look of betrayal, while Jimin giggles, hiding his smile behind his hand. "Sorry, hyung, couldn't resist."
Hoseok sticks out his tongue, wiggles his ass in response and Jimin hoots, smacking it again. "The only time you'll get to touch that this week," Hoseok comments offhandedly, pulling on the shorts.
"Let's not get hasty now," Jimin backtracks, waving around his hands.
"Let's not get hasty now," Jimin backtracks, waving around his hands.
Hoseok snorts and then only realizes that there's no other clothes to put on. "Jimin..." He turns to face his roommate, who looks the picture of innocence. "Where are the rest of my clothes?"
"Oh! Here." Jimin holds out a robe.
"Oh! Here." Jimin holds out a robe.
"...That's it? That's all I'm gonna wear?"
Jimin shoots him an incredulous look. "This is what you normally wear, what are you talking about?"
"I'm gonna get cold," Hoseok whines, accepting the robe regardless.

"Hyung. Heaters exist, you know."
"You just want me to get devoured," Hoseok mutters, sliding on the robe, feeling the cool material against his bare torso.
"Maybe," Jimin giggles, grabbing Hoseok's hand. "Come on, hopefully they're ready now."

Jimin guides Hoseok back out into the living room, sitting him down on their couch. "Be right back," he sings, kissing the top of Hoseok's head and disappearing into the kitchen.
Hoseok relaxes into the sofa, making snow angel motions.

He wonders what the others have up their sleeve. It's really a toss-up at this point, could be perfectly innocent or the complete opposite.
Suddenly, the lights turn off, plunging the room into darkness.
Suddenly, the lights turn off, plunging the room into darkness.
There's a sharp pang of fear in Hoseok, but it quickly dissipates, hearing the members start to sing. "Happy birthday to you~"
Seokjin appears, holding a cake, candles all lit up, casting his face in a warm glow.

He sets the cake in front of Hoseok on the coffee table, and the members file in around Hoseok, continuing to sing.
"Happy birthday to you! Make a wish, Hoseokie-hyung!" Taehyung cheers, clapping his hands.
"Happy birthday to you! Make a wish, Hoseokie-hyung!" Taehyung cheers, clapping his hands.
Hoseok brings his hands together as he silently makes his birthday wish. He then swiftly blows out the candle, to the cheers of his bandmates.
Jungkook switches back on the lights, Hoseok blinking to adjust to the sudden brightness.

As soon as his vision adjusts, Hoseok is struck with the way the members are lovingly gazing at him, with varying levels of want in their eyes as they look approvingly at what Hoseok's wearing.
"Really, Jimin?" Yoongi sighs, shaking his head. "We're all trying to sleep soon, not be kept up."
"Who said I was trying to do anything?" Jimin avoids looking at anyone, carefully picking out the candles on the cake.
"Who said I was trying to do anything?" Jimin avoids looking at anyone, carefully picking out the candles on the cake.
"It's okay, we'll play nice and let Hoseokie-hyung sleep." Taehyung grins up at Hoseok, patting his knee. "We have a long day of schedules tomorrow, anyway. Sorry we have to work on your birthday, hyung."
"It's okay," Hoseok runs his fingers through Taehyung's hair. "Rather be kept busy on my birthday, don't know what else I would do."
"Uh, I don't know, visit family?" Namjoon laughs, squeezing Hoseok's shoulder. "You're a workaholic, Hoba."
"Uh, I don't know, visit family?" Namjoon laughs, squeezing Hoseok's shoulder. "You're a workaholic, Hoba."
"I think you're speaking to this entire room," Hoseok responds dryly, looking up at Namjoon.
No one contests this.
They cut into the cake, strawberry again, not that Hoseok minds.

They cut into the cake, strawberry again, not that Hoseok minds.
Hoseok notices that Jungkook isn't eating, probably adhering to a strict diet again. "Jungkookie," he sings, holding out a strawberry.
"No! Hyung, I really can't," Jungkook groans, weakly pushing away Hoseok's hand.
"No! Hyung, I really can't," Jungkook groans, weakly pushing away Hoseok's hand.
Hoseok juts out his lower lip, fixing Jungkook with a hurt look. "B-but Jungkookie. It's my birthday."
Jungkook resolutely doesn't look at Hoseok but his expression looks troubled. Hoseok knows it probably wouldn't take much more.

"Pleaseeee, Jungkookie? For me? For hyungie?"
Jungkook reluctantly looks at Hoseok again, sees the strawberry offered to him. He sighs loudly, his resolve crumbling, and takes the strawberry into his mouth.

Some strawberry juice spills out the side of Jungkook's mouth. Before Jungkook can wipe it away, Hoseok swoops in and lightly licks it off Jungkook's mouth. Jungkook eeks out a noise, but doesn't move as Hoseok swipes the rest of the juice off his lips.
Hoseok sits back, smacking his lips, patting Jungkook's cheek. "Good boy," he praises, not missing how Jungkook's eyes dilate.
"Speaking of," Seokjin points to Hoseok and Jungkook, "that, isn't it time for birthday boy kisses?"
"Speaking of," Seokjin points to Hoseok and Jungkook, "that, isn't it time for birthday boy kisses?"
"It is!" Jimin chirps, helping to clear away the mess on the table along with Namjoon.
"Great. Let's go in order, then, so me first!" Hoseok gasps as Seokjin pulls him into his lap, Hoseok's hands scrabbling and finding purchase on Seokjin's broad shoulders.

"Oh, now you wanna play by the rules," Jimin grumbles, but he settles down on the floor, laying his head on Taehyung's lap.
"Hi, Hoseok-ah," Seokjin smiles, brushing a strand of hair out of Hoseok's face.
Hoseok can't help but run his hands down Seokjin's body.

"Ah, please, no," Seokjin laughs, the tips of his ears rivaling the color of the strawberries from earlier.
"Ah, please, no," Seokjin laughs, the tips of his ears rivaling the color of the strawberries from earlier.
"I'm serious! How'd I get so lucky that - mph" Hoseok's sentence is cut off by Seokjin cradling Hoseok's jaw and slotting their mouths together.
Like Namjoon, Seokjin's lips are also plush and taste vaguely of strawberry and -
"Were you eating jellies earlier?"

Seokjin flushes deeper. "Maybe," he grudgingly admits, not looking at Hoseok.
"Where are you hiding all of them?" Hoseok laughs, threading his arms around Seokjin's neck. "I can never find any in the dorm."
"Where are you hiding all of them?" Hoseok laughs, threading his arms around Seokjin's neck. "I can never find any in the dorm."
"That's my secret." Seokjin winks at Hoseok before, pressing another sweet kiss to Hoseok's lips. "Happy birthday, Hoseok-ah. Here's to many more."
"Thanks, hyung," Hoseok mumbles, nuzzling at Seokjin's neck.
"Thanks, hyung," Hoseok mumbles, nuzzling at Seokjin's neck.
"Okay, next!" Jimin loudly calls from the floor.
"I swear," Seokjin mumbles, but he gently slides Hoseok off his lap and joins Jimin on the floor, jabbing Jimin's side. "That'll teach you to be impatient."
"I swear," Seokjin mumbles, but he gently slides Hoseok off his lap and joins Jimin on the floor, jabbing Jimin's side. "That'll teach you to be impatient."
A hand on Hoseok's shoulder draws him away from the impending fight between Seokjin and Jimin. "Hi, Hoseok-ah," Yoongi whispers, brushing their noses together. "I'll be brief, since I'm sleepy as hell."
He presses a chaste kiss to Hoseok's lips, humming in contentment, the vibration sending shivers down Hoseok's body. "Happy birthday. I'll see you in the morning."
"Okay, hyung. Goodnight." Hoseok places a chaste kiss on Yoongi's cheek.
"Okay, hyung. Goodnight." Hoseok places a chaste kiss on Yoongi's cheek.

Hoseok turns and sees Namjoon sitting on the couch, holding out his arms. Squealing slightly, Hoseok scrambles over and buries his face in Namjoon's chest. "Bliss," he sighs, nuzzling into the firm muscle.
Hoseok turns and sees Namjoon sitting on the couch, holding out his arms. Squealing slightly, Hoseok scrambles over and buries his face in Namjoon's chest. "Bliss," he sighs, nuzzling into the firm muscle.
"Is this all I'm good for," Namjoon jokes, rubbing Hoseok's back.
"I don't blame you," Jungkook pipes up from his spot on the floor, where he's currently wrestling Seokjin. "Namjoon-hyung's chest is very nice. I'm jealous."
"I don't blame you," Jungkook pipes up from his spot on the floor, where he's currently wrestling Seokjin. "Namjoon-hyung's chest is very nice. I'm jealous."
"Yours is nice too, baby," Hoseok calls out, slightly muffled as he's still smushing his face into Namjoon's chest.
"Hoba, that tickles," Namjoon laughs, gently tilting back Hoseok's face.
"Sorry." Hoseok pouts before pushing out his lips. "Kiss?"
"Hoba, that tickles," Namjoon laughs, gently tilting back Hoseok's face.
"Sorry." Hoseok pouts before pushing out his lips. "Kiss?"
Namjoon obliges, gently pressing their lips together. Hoseok likens kissing Namjoon's lips to kissing a cloud. Cheesy, but accurate as Namjoon's lips move against his.
All too soon, Namjoon pulls away. "Jimin is staring," he laughs in explanation when Hoseok pouts.

"Besides, I get you to myself for a little bit tomorrow, right?"
Hoseok racks his brain, trying to remember. Did he promise to spend time alone -
"We're working on a track together, remember?" Namjoon cocks an eyebrow at Hoseok.

"We're working on a track together, remember?" Namjoon cocks an eyebrow at Hoseok.
"Oh! Right! Yes," Hoseok claps his hands together. "How could I forget."
"What were you thinking?" Namjoon's eyes glimmer with mischief, leaning close to Hoseok. "Were you thinking about some other kind of alone time?"
"What were you thinking?" Namjoon's eyes glimmer with mischief, leaning close to Hoseok. "Were you thinking about some other kind of alone time?"
Namjoon squeezes Hoseok's ass and a squeak slips out of Hoseok's mouth. "Cute," Namjoon mumbles, "maybe we can have both types of alone time."
"Y-yeah. That would be nice." Hoseok's face feels like it's on fire.
"Y-yeah. That would be nice." Hoseok's face feels like it's on fire.
Namjoon chuckles, kissing Hoseok's cheek. "Alright, Either way, see you tomorrow, Hoba." He turns towards Jimin. "He's all yours, Jimin-ah. Good luck, Hoseok." Namjoon huffs a laugh as Jimin immediately pops up beside Hoseok.
"Hyung," Jimin oozes, climbing into Hoseok's lap, settling in easy.
"Jiminie." Hoseok deadpans back, hands resting on Jimin's hips.
"Hmm. Pretty," Jimin sighs, tracing Hoseok's jawline. "My pretty Hobari."
Before Hoseok can get a word in, Jimin crashes their mouths together.

Before Hoseok can get a word in, Jimin crashes their mouths together.
Hoseok lets himself be taken under the current that is Jimin, as he licks along the seam of Hoseok's lips, Hoseok obediently opening his mouth. It's the kind of kiss that burns Hoseok from the inside out, breath caught in his throat.
All too soon, Jimin pulls away and smiles softly at him. "Happy birthday, Hoseokie-hyung."
"What? That's it? For all that whining and crying earlier?" Hoseok looks at Jimin in surprise.
Jimin smirks and lightly grinds down on Hoseok's lap, enjoying the gasp Hoseok lets out.

Hoseok has to take a minute to calm his thundering heart.

Hoseok blinks a few times, finally focusing in on Taehyung's concerned expression.

In the background he can hear Seokjin's affronted cry as Jungkook pins him to the floor, but all he can concentrate on is Taehyung's pretty face. "Yeah," he replies, "I'm good. Just..."
"It's a lot, huh?" Taehyung smiles warmly, coming to sit beside Hoseok.
"It's a lot, huh?" Taehyung smiles warmly, coming to sit beside Hoseok.
"Kinda," Hoseok admits with a laugh. "Thank you for not attacking me right away."
"Hmm, it was kind of hard, you know I like you so much," Taehyung teases, sliding closer to Hoseok and placing his hand on the back of Hoseok's neck.

Ah. There goes Taehyung's disarming honesty.
"Please," Hoseok snorts, trying to fight the flustered feeling that threatens to well up inside him. "Don't say such things."
"Why not?" Taehyung's gaze is piercing, reading right through Hoseok's facade.

"Why not?" Taehyung's gaze is piercing, reading right through Hoseok's facade.
"Well, you know," Hoseok garbles, feeling Taehyung's hand slightly press against his neck. "I just...don't know what to do."
"You don't have to do anything? I'm just being honest about how I feel?" Taehyung looks at Hoseok incredulously.
"You don't have to do anything? I'm just being honest about how I feel?" Taehyung looks at Hoseok incredulously.
"Besides," Taehyung continues, "why do you have to do anything? It's your birthday, you deserve to be showered with praise."
"Ugh," Hoseok mumbles, burying his face in his hands. "I know, I know, I just...I think it makes me realize how much you guys love me."
"Ugh," Hoseok mumbles, burying his face in his hands. "I know, I know, I just...I think it makes me realize how much you guys love me."
Hoseok looks up in alarm. "That sounds stupid, I obviously know how much you guys love me, but it's hard to like. Fully grasp the sheer amount of love, I guess. Kinda makes me feel, undeserving, it's a similar feeling to when I see ARMY do all these things for my birthday."
"Ah, hyung," Taehyung mumurs, sliding his hand to cup Hoseok's face instead. "I don't know what I can say to make you believe me, but trust me, you're deserving of all the love, and more."
Hoseok makes a noise high in his throat, he can't take all of this sappiness.

"Just kiss me already," he groans, shaking his head.
"Whatever birthday boy wants," Taehyung laughs, gently bringing Hoseok closer.
Taehyung sure kisses a lot better than that first time Hoseok kissed him on public television.

Taehyung sure kisses a lot better than that first time Hoseok kissed him on public television.
No longer an awkward smash of lips, but there's a firm, gentle confidence in the way he kisses Hoseok, humming into the kiss and resting his other hand on Hoseok's hip. "Happy birthday, hyung," he breathes, gently stroking Hoseok's cheek.
"Thank you," Hoseok mumbles, forcing himself to look into Taehyung's eyes, accepting the full look of adoration Taehyung gives him.
Taehyung kisses Hoseok's cheek one last time before getting up and pulling Seokjin off of the ground.

"Come on, hyung, let's leave the lovebirds alone." Taehyung giggles and pushes Seokjin back towards his room.
"Lovebirds?! What do you - " Hoseok looks at Jungkook, who's blushing something fierce. Hoseok is sure there's a mirroring blush on his face.
"Lovebirds?! What do you - " Hoseok looks at Jungkook, who's blushing something fierce. Hoseok is sure there's a mirroring blush on his face.
There's a moment of silence where they look at each other before Jungkook bashfully casts his glance downwards, picking at a piece of lint on his sweatpants. He's chewing on his lower lip and Hoseok wants to tell him to stop.
Instead, he suddenly feels just how tired he is and how much he'd rather be in bed. "Jungkookie? D'ya wanna..." Hoseok motions towards his room.
Jungkook perks up. "Really?"
Hoseok nods, getting up and reaching out his hand towards Jungkook.
Jungkook perks up. "Really?"
Hoseok nods, getting up and reaching out his hand towards Jungkook.
Jungkook grins his signature bunny smile, nose scrunching up in excitement and Hoseok feels his heart flutter. Pulling Jungkook up, Jungkook immediately latches himself onto Hoseok's back, walking awkwardly back to Hoseok's room.
Upon entering, Hoseok realizes that Jimin is nowhere to be found, probably in Taehyung or another hyung's room then. Hoseok has half a mind to just collapse into bed but he freezes in place. "Wait, I gotta like, brush my teeth and stuff - "
"Yeah, me too," Jungkook snorts, unlatching himself from Hoseok's back. "Be right back...?"
Hoseok presses a quick kiss to Jungkook's cheek. "See you," he whispers, waving off Jungkook.

As Hoseok completes his nightly routine, slapping serum into his dehydrated skin, he ponders over Taehyung's offhanded comment. He probably didn't mean anything by it, but Hoseok can't stop thinking about it.
Lovebirds.
Lovebirds.
Hoseok is confused, honestly, he's pretty sure he loves all of them equally, doesn't know why Taehyung singles him and Jungkook out.
Sure, he might have a soft spot for Jungkook. Might always have a hand on him, or Jungkook might have a limb wrapped around him at all times.
Sure, he might have a soft spot for Jungkook. Might always have a hand on him, or Jungkook might have a limb wrapped around him at all times.
It doesn't mean anything. It's not preferential treatment. So what if they tend to gravitate towards each other, seek each other out when they're upset. They just understand each other. Nothing more than that. Scoffing, Hoseok finishes his skincare and returns to his room.
His heart does another tumble seeing Jungkook already wrapped up in the covers of his bed. Normally he'd scold anyone for messing up his sheets, but he could never with Jungkook.
Jungkook catches sight of him and he smiles. "Hyungie," he calls out, patting the bed.

Hoseok launches himself on top of his bed, Jungkook immediately grabbing on to him and wrangling him in place. Hoseok goes pliant, letting Jungkook wrap his arms around him, scotting them until he's satisfied. Sighing, Jungkook shoves his nose into the crook of Hoseok's neck.
He inhales deeply a few times and Hoseok bites back a remark about how Jungkook is like a bloodhound, always sniffing Hoseok. "Good, Jaykay?" Hoseok asks, playing with Jungkook's earrings.
"Good," Jungkook mumbles, his lips tickling Hoseok's neck.
"Good," Jungkook mumbles, his lips tickling Hoseok's neck.
"Hey now," Hoseok chides, pulling back from Jungkook despite Jungkook's protests, "Where are my kisses, huh?"
"Oh!" Jungkook pauses, looking genuinely crestfallen that he had forgotten. "Sorry, sorry, I'll do that - "
"Oh!" Jungkook pauses, looking genuinely crestfallen that he had forgotten. "Sorry, sorry, I'll do that - "
"Jungkookie, it's okay," Hoseok giggles, pressing a kiss to Jungkook's forehead. "Don't look so worried! I was just teasing. If you're tired, you can totally sleep."
"As if I would pass up on birthday kisses," Jungkook pouts, glaring at Hoseok.
"As if I would pass up on birthday kisses," Jungkook pouts, glaring at Hoseok.
"Okay, okay, if you wanna make it up to me, give me twenty-seven kisses. One for every year I was born."
"Or.....twenty-eight if we wanna go by Korean age," Jungkook teases, kissing Hoseok's nose.
"I wouldn't be opposed," Hoseok mumbles, stroking Jungkook's cheek.

"Heh. Okay, I'll count, we gotta be precise, yeah?" Jungkook leans in and gently kisses Hoseok. "One," he whispers, before leaning back in. "Two..."
Hoseok thinks he could never get tired of kissing Jungkook. The novelty never wears off.
Hoseok thinks he could never get tired of kissing Jungkook. The novelty never wears off.
The way his heart races every time, how there's a giddy excitement that bubbles up and threatens to spill over in some sort of confession.
Is it weird to have an epiphany while kissing your bandmate? Asking for a friend.

Hoseok isn't even paying attention to the numbers Jungkook is counting out loud, just concentrates on how soft Jungkook's lips are, how much Hoseok likes nipping at Jungkook's plump lower lip. The way Jungkook sighs into the kisses, the slide of their lips slow and easy.
It makes Hoseok turn into honey, all liquid and oozing with affection. Wanting more, Hoseok pushes Jungkook onto his back, Jungkook letting out a noise of surprise. Hoseok licks into Jungkook's mouth and loses himself, just enjoys this quiet bubble of happiness.
"Hyung, what number was I on?" Jungkook mumbles in between kisses.
"Dunno, guess you'll have to start over," Hoseok sighs, capturing Jungkook's lips again.
They don't keep track.

Hoseok falls asleep in Jungkook's arms, feeling fully content and wholly loved.
