ch 17

“Taehyung? I thought you were y/n”, says the taller with a frown, somewhat confused, all the previous struck sexy pose deflating and turning into a normal one. Taehyung smirks at this and gasps a ‘wow’ before stepping aside to let him in.

“She’s in his bedroom finishing her outfit”, communicates Taehyung with a knowing expression, hoseok nods.

“Fancy place, uh? y/n told me”, mutters the blue-hairedt boy while folding his arms. 

“Yeah”, says hoseok smiling, “it’s been a while since I wanted to take y/n to this restaurant, the food is delicious”.

“I see”, sighs the older with an amused look. hoseok gazes at him with brows knitted and a very puzzled look but doesn’t think too much into it and lets it slide.

As soon as silence settles in the room, the door to y/n’s bedroom opens revealing a glowing y/n, sparkling in all her glory. She makes her way into the living room where hoseok is sitting on the couch and his roommate leans against the armrest, back facing the younger.

“hoseok, ready to go?”, says y/n with a honey and soft voice, startling both boys, making them whip their heads towards the girl . Hoseok's jaw drops as he ogles her from head to toe, but he rapidly crooks a bright smile and gets on his feet.

“Damn, y/n! You’re making really hard to not fall for you, uh”, says the younger with a teasing tone. Y/n feels the air hitch in her throat and gulps, laughing nervously. Taehyung, meanwhile, glares at the dark-haired boy and facepalms shaking hia head in frustration.

“T-told you, mr jung hoseok ”, half-smiles the nervous y/n. Hoseok's curled raven hair looks longer, y/n notices, as bangs fall over his forehead. The taller whips his head making his strands sway and dance like in slow motion. He's wearing a button-up striped white dress shirt, a navy blue fitted blazer and slacks and a fine and a delicate black bow tie making him look like a prince.

“He’s so dumb”, mouths Taehyung, eyes widening at his friend when Hoseok gives him his back. y/n shrugs with a sad smile.

“Okay, so let’s go then!”, beams the taller striding over the door to lead them both out. "See you later taehyung "

"Bye guys, have fun!", says Taehyung back, waving his hand with a boxy smile.

“Let’s go, hoseok ”, says y/n rolling his eyes.

                                                                                                                                   *

The restaurant is packed to the rafters, there are long queues outside of people almost freezing waiting to get in. y/n is a little bit uneasy about the whole thing since she's not really used to eating at these kinds of fancy places, unlike hoseok who practically grew up among people from the high society, this being a regular to him. 

Apparently the he senses y/n's a little bit off so he tugs her hand and takes it in his giving it a squeeze. y/n looks at their joined hands and then she locks his gaze with hoseok's, he crooks a tender smile and nods in response.

"Relax, y/n, there's no need to be nervous. Just imagine we're eating tteokbokki at that favorite pojangmacha of yours", whispers hoseok in her ear with the softest and most endearing voice ever.

Y/n feels the pit of her stomach getting warm and that butterfly sensation again bursting inside her belly. Taking a deep breath, she follows hoseok inside the restaurant, hands still clasped together.

"Hey, aren't we supposed to wait outside like the rest of the people?", asks y/n stopping on her tracks, innocently knitting her eyebrows at the taller and forming a cute crease in her forehead. Hoseok giggles and breaks out a boxy smile, letting go of y/n’s hand to poke the smaller's tiny brow with his finger.

“I’ve made a reservation, y/n. I knew this would happen since they serve the best rib-eye steak in town”, assures hoseok not looking at her but all around the place trying to find a single soul who can take them to their table. 

"Can't believe they left the desk unattended”, complains Hoseok tapping his foot on the floor.
