Ray POV:

After the practice was over, Hoseok came back over and sat on the floor next to her chair. His hair was damp and he had a line of sweat trailing down his neck into the collar of his shirt. Still, Ray couldn't believe just how handsome he looked.

Hoseok looked up at her, a smile on his face. "What did you think?" he asked.

Ray smiled back at him. "I was impressed. Your whole group is really good. Seeing the music video was interesting, but this was something else completely. I didn't realize that some of your moves were so..." she trailed off, her cheeks turning pink.

Hoseok raised an eyebrow at her. "So... what?" he questioned.

Ray blushed even deeper. "Umm... just some of your moves are really sexy," she said.

Hoseok's smile got even brighter. "Oh really?" he teased. "You might become ARMY after all."

Ray rolled her eyes at that. "Sorry Hobi. I don't think so," she said.

Hoseok looked disappointed for a moment before his bright smile returned. "Then I'll have to keep trying to convince you," he challenged. "I really wanted to bring you to my studio and show you some of my music, but we have a meeting in little while."

Ray nodded her head in understanding and stood up. "I get it. I have to work anyway," she explained.

Hoseok stood up next to her, so close she could feel the heat radiating off his body. Ray took a step back and his smile dropped a bit.

"I'll get Jung Min to take you home," Hoseok said. "Will you come back again?" he asked hopefully.

Ray shrugged. "I suppose I could. If it's okay with your managers," she said. She was kind of interested in seeing the studio that he was talking about. And she liked Hoseok. She liked spending time with him.

Hoseok brushed a loose curl out of her face, making her blush again. "I'll text you tonight," he promised as he walked away.

Jung Min came over a few minutes later, asking if she was ready to go. Before they could get out the door, Jimin came rushing over.

"Are you leaving already? I didn't even get to spend time with you," he said, a pout on his full lips.

Ray nodded. "Hobi said you have a meeting and I have to go to work anyways," she said.

"Oh," Jimin said, looking disappointed. "Alright. Have fun at work."

"Thanks Jimin," Ray said. She leaned in closer and whispered, "I really liked your sexy dance moves." Ray left Jimin standing there with red cheeks as she followed Jung Min out of the room.

Ray was laughing to herself all the way home. Jimin had been so good about throwing her off balance. It had been fun to do the same to him. She was beginning to realize his outrageous flirting was harmless and just for fun. The three guys were turning out to be pretty good friends.

BTS POV:

Hoseok had watched the interaction with Jimin and Ray. He was curious what Ray had said to make the other boy's cheeks turn so red. Jimin had stood there for a moment after she had left, then turned to join the rest of the members.

"What was that all about?" Taehyung asked, the same question that was in Hoseok's mind.

Jimin shrugged. "Nothing much. Just telling me she enjoyed the practice," Jimin said.

"Oh really?" Jin asked. "Then why were you blushing?"

Jimin shrugged again. "It was nothing," he said.

Hoseok was even more confused. Not too many things would cause Jimin to turn that shade of red. And he wasn't the type to lie to the rest of the members. Hoseok wondered what Ray had said to him.

Jungkook was about to speak up when Namjoon called them into the conference room for the meeting. Although their dance practice was done, they still had things to take care of.

Later that evening, Hoseok was sitting on his bed after he had gotten out of the shower. He wanted to text Ray and ask about what happened with Jimin, but he didn't want to come off as jealous. Even though, he knew deep down that is what he was feeling. He was afraid that Ray might say she liked Jimin. He wouldn't be surprised. Jimin was one of the most liked members in the groups. Girls and guys always commented on his perfect body and beautiful face. He didn't want to compete with one of his best friends for the girl he liked. He was afraid he would lose.

Jimin came bounding into the room with a smile on his face. It was such a change from the Jimin that Hoseok had been so worried about.

Hoseok smiled at his friend. "Glad to see you back to normal," he said.

Jimin grabbed clean clothes from their shared closet. "I'm happy to be back to normal. Thanks for being such a caring friend. It means a lot to me," Jimin said. "I really shouldn't have listened to all the antis out there."

Hoseok nodded. "There so many more people that think you're handsome. Even Ray does."

Jimin's popped his head out of the closet, a bright but confused smile on his face. "Oh really?" he asked.

Hoseok wished he could take back that little piece of information. "Uh yeah. She mentioned it before," Hoseok admitted.

Jimin looked at him thoughtfully. "Hmm... that's good to know," he said as he took his clothes into their shared bathroom and shut the door.

Hoseok decided to text Ray anyway. He would just avoid the topic of Jimin.

Hobi:

Ray:

10:42 PM

Hobi:

Ray:

10:45 PM

Hoseok set his phone down on his chest. That was the shortest conversation he had ever had with Ray. He wondered if something had happened or if she was upset with him. He hoped not. He was beginning to see her as a good friend and didn't want to lose that.
