"Mom!" Yoongi yells out. His mother walks into the room with a smile on her face. "Yes, my love?" She answers. "Do you like this one or this one better?" He asked. He stands there shirtless, with two shirts in his hand. A white and black stripped button down and a plain black polo.

"I like the button down." She says. Yoongi nods his head, going to put an undershirt on before his other shirt. "Yoongi," She says softly. "Do you like Hoseok?" Yoongi shrugs his shoulders. "We have been friends for like 3 months so I feel like I should but then again, I have never really liked anyone so I don't really know."

Yoongi sometimes wonders how he knew he was gay when he knew. He has never really had a crush on anyone and women were pretty, but he was never sexually attracted to him. Truth be told, when he was exploring the idea, is around the same time he met Jimin. Jimin was his gay awakening, are we surprised?

"Well, maybe ask your father how he knew he liked me when we were kids." Yoongi shakes his head with a little laugh. "I'd rather not." His mother smiles. "Does it feel like you want to protect him and make him happy? Like all of your happiness, sadness, and other emotions are dependent on him?" I shake my head.

"I want to protect him and make him happy, but I can't depend on him to make me happy. I have to make my own happiness." His mother puts her hand on her heart. "I'm so proud of you." She says and Yoongi smiles. "Thanks momma." "If you do end up liking him, and need any advice, I will be more than happy to hear you talk about it." She says.

Yoongi finishes buttoning his shirt and gives her a smile. "Thank you. I will let you know before I leave." He says. She nods, leaving his room. Yoongi quickly fixes his hair the way he wants it. Shortly after, he gets a text from Jin.

"Mom, I'm leaving!" He says, walking out of his room. "Have fun baby. Oh, here!" She runs out of her room and hands him some money. "I have enough mom." He says with a smile and she shrugs a little. "Just in case, you know?" She smiles. "Thank you momma. I will see you later." The boys mother kisses him on the forehead. Yoongi puts his shoes on, a black sweater, and a big puffy black jacket over that. He wraps a black and grey scarf around his neck and walks out of the door.

"Shopping!" Jimin says as they enter the mall. "Every girl you have fucked is probably in here so don't go running off." Namjoon says, making the rest of the boys laugh. "Don't be mad because I'm the hottest freshman that school has ever had. 14 years old and I've slept with 18 year olds. I would say that's a world record in my book." Jimin explains his victories.

"Sounds like grooming to me." Jin says. Jimin just rolls his eyes. "Don't be mad because you haven't had any of me pretty boy." "Keep dreaming." The rest of the boys roll their eyes.

"Jesus," Jungkook complain. "It only gets worse from here, don't you worry." He says to Taehyung. Taehyung look over at Yoongi and Hoseok. Yoongi just nods with a tilt of his head. Hoseok smiles and also nods. "We tried to warn you." Hobi says with a little smile.

"Oh let's go in there!" Jungkook points to an anime store where they sell all kinds of stuff. Before anyone could protest, Yoongi begins to walk in that direction and everyone else follows suit.

"Ah, yes! Gojo!" Hoseok reaches for a box. "This would look great on my desk." He smiles at Yoongi. Yoongi smiles back. "Hoseok! Itachi." Taehyung calls out. "Dibs." The blonde haired boy says to Hoseok. Hoseok huffs, "Fine."

The boys look around and soon leave the store to go to another. Joonie, Jin, Hobi, Jimin, Tae, and Kookie all walk in a group, laughing and talking. Yoongi trails behind slightly. Hoseok looks back at him and then turns to Jungkook. "Does he usually trail behind like that?" The blacked haired boy asked the brunette.

"Sometimes. We always ask him if we should walk with him but he says it's fine. You know he likes to be by himself a lot." Jungkook explains. Hoseok stops walking while the others continue to walk. Yoongi looks up to see Hobi waiting for him.

"Why did you stop?" Yoongi asked him. He shrugs and walks with Yoongi. "I saw you back here and thought you would enjoy my company." Yoongi smiles. "I always do." Hoseok smiles back.

The boys had already eaten dinner. They arrive at the ice rink. It's outside surrounding by a couple of trees and benches. All of the trees were already decorated with Christmas lights.

"Ah! I'm so excited!" Taehyung claps his hands and Jimin throws arm over Tae and smiles. "We are going to be best friends."

The boys get their skates and go to put them on. Hoseok sits next to Yoongi and smiles. "Are you excited?" He asked and the blonde shrugs. "Not really. I don't know what I'm doing." Hobi smiles, tying his laces, "I told you I would help you. I promise it's easy." Yoongi shakes his head.

"Yeah but what if I fall and embarrass myself?" Hobi shrugs. "Don't be embarrassed my dear Yoonie. I fall all the time." Yoongi smiles. Yoongi looks up to see Taehyung and Jimin going to skate, holding hands and laughing happily. Short after, Jin, Jungkook, and Namjoon go off and skate together.

Hobi and Yoongi stand up. They walk to the rink and Yoongi starts slowly sliding on the ice. "Do you know how to roller skate?" Hobi asked and Yoongi nods. "It's like that but no wheels." Yoongi nods again.

He starts to skate faster but he looses his balance a little bit. Hoseok slowly gets behind him and pushes his forward a little bit. "Here," Hoseok holds his hand out, getting next to Yoongi. "Hold my hand."

Yoongi is glad it is cold outside, otherwise his cheeks and ears would be visible from a blush. Yoongi glances up at Hoseok. Hobi nods a little with a smile. Yoongi grabs Hoseok's hand and lets out a breath he was holding.

As they skate for a little longer, Jimin and Taehyung approach the two and begins the skate around them. Yoongi and Hobi laugh at them as they skate away. "Those two are gonna be attached at the hip." Hobi says and Yoongi nods. "If they aren't by not."

They turn the corner of the rink and continue to skate, hand in hand. "Hey, how come you walk all by yourself?" Hoseok asked. "I get nervous is big settings, such as the mall, so I take a step back and just hang out by myself. The boys always ask me if I want them to walk with me but I say no because I would feel like a bother." Yoongi explains to Hoseok.

"Well, I was always walk with you and never be bothered. You could never bother me." Yoongi smiles at Hobi. They continue to skate and talk, never letting go of each other's hand.
