✞ chapter nine ✞

hoseok, sejong, and jimin went early to the hospital. starting when they first stepped inside, hoseok started babbling about how excited he is to be at jeongguk's home. the way he just snickers and wanted to meet his best friend's boyfriend is on the other level.

sejong happily listened and told him his thoughts about the hang-out later on. since they're quite busy, they decided to move the schedule to nighttime. they're all available after dinner, and they could go home before midnight.

"are you sure we can make it back home?" jimin asked, making hoseok stop his tracks and looked back at the short boy.

he made a weird expression and glanced to sejong, who did the same as well.

"of course, why are you saying that like we're going to die?" laughter left the two's mouths, but jimin remained blank face.

"i mean, we may want to have a sleepover there or something. you're advanced too much, hoseok." he showed a small smile, but eventually turned into a thin one in a matter of seconds.

they continued walking and eventually saw jeongguk talking to some random doctor. they approached him and decided to go to some random café shop. hoseok decided he's sick of eating in the cafeteria so he wanted to try some new.

"woah, this coffee is good as fuc-"

"no swearing, please." sejong covered his mouth, who cackled when hoseok opened his eyes wide in horror. jeongguk laughed at the two, they're getting along pretty well.

"yah, jimin. why are you so quiet these days?" hoseok lightly punched his shoulder. jimin on the other hand just shook his head and drank his frappe.

"so anyway, y'all will go after dinner right?" jeongguk said, and the boys nodded.

"oh okay, taehyung is probably sleeping that time. you know that fat-ass, he's asleep most of the time." he chuckled and took a sip from his hot chocolate.

"is that all he does, jeongguk? like whenever i ask you about him, you just say he's sleeping."

"yeah. sometimes we cuddle in bed and tell him stories and such. he's a good listener." he replied.

"does he have any social media or something? we should create a group chat, how does that sound?" sejong recommended, and pulling his phone out.

"well apparently, he doesn't have any."

sejong's forehead frowned. "oh okay. anyway, should we like to go back to the office? it's almost time, got lots of patients later."

they all agreed to go and dozed off the café. before jimin part their ways, jeongguk caught his hand.

"jimin? is there something wrong?"

he heard him sigh, and tried to let go of his grip. well, jeongguk is stronger, so he ended up rolling his eyes secretly.

"what do you want?"

"what's wrong with you, jim? something's bothering you, i know."

jimin faced him, jaw clenching. he looked at him deep in his soul and whispered one last thing, leaving him in surprise and confusion.

"you are the problem, you fucking psycho."
