you walked inside your apartment, opening the door slowly and felt the drops of water falling onto your floor. jimin had left and said his goodbyes, and even added a peck on your cheek. you sighed and were shivering, then you heard the sound of a baby crying.

"what the hell?" you mumbled and remembered the baby for your parenting class.

you cursed as you realized that you and hoseok were still partners, so it might make things awkward now. you took off your wet shoes, "tae?"

taehyung ran out of your room and held onto your shoulders, "make it stop! please! i can't take it!"

"alright alright!" you groaned, "just let me take a shower and change first!"

taehyung suddenly blinked his big brown eyes, "why're you all wet? did hoseok just leave you out in the rain or something?"

it was the other way around. you looked down at the ground and sorrow was shown through your eyes, your hand couldn't help but form a fist.

taehyung noticed this action and spoke, "what happened? is everything okay?"

you shook your head, "i'll tell you after i take a shower, just please take care of the child."

taehyung groaned, "i've been trying to for the past three hours!"

his whining couldn't help but make you somewhat smile, but you were still hurt over the action you've done towards hoseok. it was rude, bitchy, and not to mention ungrateful.

hoseok was literally an angel, and you completely just made his day hell for him.

you walked into the bathroom and took off your orange coat, trying to yank off the hair tie you've previously done hours ago. your skin felt cold to the touch since it was wet, you shook your head and tried to remember happier times.

but since you were about to take a shower, everyone in there would be vulnerable. that's where people mostly thought about things, made their decisions, and it didn't help you at all.

you looked at yourself in the mirror, trying to see why hoseok found you attractive. those lips, they were sweet and plush, but they were the same ones that kissed jimin's before your promised date with hoseok.

"just try to repress it, (your name)," you sighed and took off all your clothes, walking into the shower trying to forget the events.

--

"repress it, hoseok." hoseok said staring at himself in the mirror.

hoseok was trying his best to forget the events that had happened this night, his lips confused on whether to be it's smiling self or not. he really didn't know to feel, and talking to you on the phone felt like he was giving off mixed signals.

he had everything planned out, he wanted to take you to the pastry shop, make you laugh and compliment you. hoseok even planned a small walk and wanted to tell you how much he liked you in person, but it didn't happen.

you didn't make it happen.

hoseok then turned on the faucet, deciding it would be best to take a bath instead of showering. baths were soothing, especially since the water was warm and calming around the body.

it was relaxing, and he needed to relax.

hoseok decided to play some music to help his thoughts, but he stumbled upon a text message from you that he hasn't opened yet.

(your name)💖:
i'm sorry.

he sighed and felt his heart ache. how else was the sensitive boy supposed to feel? he was stood up by someone who he wanted to get to know. but he knew that he had a connection to you and that's what made him attract to you.
