➳༻❀ Author's POV ❀༺➳

Later that day, after Y/n helped Jimin finish picking out his outfit and the pair went downstairs everyone decided they wanted to get out of the house for a while.

It was a long process of eliminating ideas based on multiple rounds of Rock Paper Scissors shoot and even a few pillow fights, however, eventually the group of eight decided on going to a community pool to swim away the long hours of the afternoon.

"It's perfect!" Jin says excitedly, his index finger pointed down to the phone filled with information he'd found on the closest pool. "It's indoors so we'll be warm, reviews say it's always kept respectably clean, so everything points to a fun trip!"

The others all smile at their oldest mate's happiness collectively finding his joy over a mere location adorable.

"Then I guess were going swimming!" Taehyung declares, promptly snatching the wrists of the closest two mates, Jungkook and Jimin, and pulling them towards the stairs shouting : "EVERYONE GO GET YOUR STUFF READYYYY!"

Several excited cheers follow from the others as everyone now makes their way towards their rooms to change into swimsuits and pack towels and such.

However, Y/n remains frozen at the bottom of the stairs twiddling her thumbs nervously.

Pools have always made Y/n slightly uncomfortable.

Not because of the pool itself per say, more like the fact that you have to be half naked in order to properly get in one...

Y/n's never really been confident in her body, she's always shied away from showing it off because as far as she's concerned, there's nothing to show off.

She's embarrassed of her body and that's why even after Jin took her shopping for countless adorable outfits, she never really leaves her room in anything besides her mate's sweaters...

"Y/n?" Hoseok calls out after coming to a stop about halfway up the stairs. He noticed Y/n had fallen behind he and the others and immediately got worried.

He turns, resting a hand on the railing as he softly tilts his head and flashes her a bright smile.

"You coming sweetheart?"

Y/n's heart flutters, her eyes now easing up from the floor and settling on Hoseok's kind ones.

"...Mhm..." she nods, forcing a tiny grin of her own as she now slowly makes her way upstairs.

Hoseok waits for her, then walks the rest of the way at her side before watching her turn the corner and enter her room.

He's not sure why, but something seemed off with the girl.

Hoseok's a very observant person, he has a way of picking up on the subtle tells that his mates unknowingly give off when they're distraught.

For example; Taehyung tends to mess with his hair; Yoongi bites his nails; Namjoon chews on his bottom lips; Seokjin cooks an absurd amount of sweets; he could go on and on really.
