Chapter 42

Burning Up

Hoseok just stared at Minho who constantly stood by Gayoung's side, relentlessly teasing her. He stared Gayoung who would not stop giggling. Her face turned vermillion, the same shade of red her face blossomed into when she was with Hoseok. But now, she was with Minho.
Hoseok examined him from head to toe. What was so good about him? Jet black hair, with an oversized white t-shirt over an oversized black t-shirt and loose black pants that were tight around his ankles as well as white sneakers. Hoseok scoffed. There was not a slight bit of vibrancy, vigor or colour in Minho.
Then, he redirected his attention to Gayoung. Her eyes crinkled up as her body shook with laughter. She kept smacking Minho's arm as all he did was tickle her or ruffle her hair and tease her more. Hoseok just held his breath with his pursed lips as he braced himself for the gales of laughter about to erupt. He was sick of it but what could he do?

"What's with him being so touchy? Who is he anyways? Why is she allowing him to be so touchy tsk,"

Hoseok mumbled, a scowl inevitably forming on his face. Yoongi noticed his face turning dark and teasingly nudged Hoseok's rib.

"I haven't seen your face this dark since you saw Mickey eat up your clothes,"

Hoseok just ignored Yoongi's comment as a mischievous smirk formed on Yoongi's face.

"If you're jealous, then go and make her yours,"

He said before walking off with a stack of jeans in his arms. Jealous? Hoseok scoffed. He was not jealous! Hoseok just let out another scoff and attempted to carry on with his work. Attempted. His eyes always went back to the couple who were either laughing and teasing each other or hugging each other. Either ways, they were being too touchy.

"If you're jealous, then go and make her yours,"

Yoongi's words echoed in Hoseok's head as he started considering his suggestion. It sounded toxic to "make Gayoung his". Maybe he could just simply introduce himself. He wasn't jealous. But, he wanted to get to know Gayoung's friend. I mean, they kissed, right? He had the right to introduce himself as her boyfriend.
Determined, Hoseok stormed towards Minho, trying to seem friendly. However, his dark and thunderous glare directed at Minho gave him away. He could feel steam building up. It burned him on the way out as it eventually burned out Minho on the receiving end. 

"Hi, you must be Gayoung's friend. I am Hoseok, her boyfriend."
