The Devil's Work || Yoonseok

38 : Lost Cause

"Busy?" Jin asked, walking into Hoseoks office without knocking, Hoseok shrugged, "Not really. I have a meeting in two hours. So I'm trying to get my mind organized for that." Hoseok said, he glanced at Jin and then back at his desk. Jin sat in his usual seat— the chair in front of Hoseok — with a small pout on his lips.

"Anything interesting happen recently?" Jin asked, the question was vague, it gave enough room for Hoseok to choose whether or not he should tell his friend what happened with Yoongi. Hoseok frowned, looking up at the ceiling before he shook his head, "No, nothing major. Unless you wanna fall asleep listening to me talk about how they company's doing."

"Think harder."

Hoseok paused, meeting Jin's eyes, his eyebrows furrowed as he searched his face for something, an answer to an unknown question. "Is something wrong, Jin?"

"Is there?"

"These back and forth questions will get us no where. If you came here to argue about something pointless then...I have better things to do." Hoseok said bluntly, his eyes lingered on Jin for a second before he looked back down at the papers on his desk. Seemingly ending the conversation.

"Why did you go to Joon instead of me?" Jin asked, Hoseok sighed, not bringing his head up as he answered, "What?"

"Why did you go to Namjoon instead of your best friend with your problems? Why did you tell him what happened between you and Yoongi and not me?" Jin asked, Hoseok shook his head, leaning back in his chair. "It's not that big of a deal, Jin. You just weren't there. Namjoon was there at the time so I talked to him."

"You had plenty of chances to talk to me." Jin retorted, he thought about this earlier, of how contradictory he's acting. He told Yoongi he was staying out of it. That whatever happens between Hoseok and Yoongi would stay between them. But he never told Hoseok that. He never gave Hoseok that little speech. He didn't know why he never did. But he didn't. And yet, Hoseok has been avoiding him with all of his problems. Going to Yoongis best friend, his boyfriend, instead of him. So yeah, it did hurt a little when he realized it, no, he shouldn't be hurt. But he is.

"Jin. It's not that serious. You already know how conversations between me and Yoongi. It's messy. We always fight."

"Hoseok. You've been distancing yourself from me."

"Bullshit. Why would I do that?"

"I dunno why but you are. And Yoongi is doing the same, pushing everyone away. Even Jimin. Even Jungkook. He's put all of his friends at a distance." Jin said, Hoseok scoffed, "What does that have to do with me?"

"I'm just recognizing the pattern, is all. So what? What is it?"

"Jin. It's nothing. Have you been getting enough sleep?"

"I'm sleeping just fine. Ask Joon." Jin said a bit too quickly. "I'm fine. It's just— I miss you and Yoongi. You two have become polar opposites of what I remember you guys as and I want that back. I don't care how you do it, I just want the old you back."

Hoseok rolled his eyes, "You're treating this like a drama—"

"Don't fucking mock me, Hoseok. I'm serious." Jin cut in, his tone forcing Hoseok to shut his mouth. "I know the healing process takes a while but start speeding it up. I'm tired, Hoseok. And even if I distance myself away from the mess you and Yoongi have made, I still find myself coming back."

"How is that my fault?"

"Did I say it was your fucking fault?" Jin asked, Hoseok huffed as he crossed his arms over his chest. Bitting his bottom lip to hold in a curse he was ready to throw Jin's way. The taller is aggravated, he has to remember that before he starts getting angry. His emotions are still all over the place even after two weeks since his tie broke. "I just want things to go back to normal. I know it's near impossible but I mean, fuck. Can't you at least try?"
