SOUL } 3

When I open my eyes, it's to a knock. I startle slightly when I realize I'm in the warm embrace of Hoseok. His eyes are open now, and I can't help but to take a deep breath. I sit up, and I realize that we're quite entangled. I untangle ourselves gently before getting up, and walking over to the door. The pain hit's me like a truck. "Yes?" I call out. "It's ten, Ara! Why the fuck are you still asleep?" I here Dae ask. I groan. Of course he's wondering why I was still asleep. I don't sleep. 

"The concert was tiring!" I yell back. "Yah! Leave her alone!" I hear the thud of my younger sister wacking Dae and her voice screech loudly. I chuckle. "How am I going to get you out of here?" I giggle quietly, running over to my bed and crashing into Hoseok. The stinging stops once I touch him. He chuckles. "I don't know." He says. "Well, Kyu and Hye have work today. So does my father. It's summer for Dae and Hae, and Dae only works on the weekends." I explain. He nods. "What if I just, y'know, meet them?" He asks. I open my mouth, then shut it again.

"Good idea. Dae and Hae are both pretty accepting." I say as I settle into him. His hand comes to rest on my side as I lean into him. "That's the best sleep I've had in years." I say, and he hums in agreement. "We usually wake up at around 5." He says. I turn towards him, leaning on his torso, ready to change the subject. 

"So how's Idol life?" I ask playfully, wiggling my eyebrows. He snickers. I listen to the door slam and hurry to the window. "Ooh look, they're leaving." I say, pointing. I feel Hoseok's presence walk up to me from behind, the electric and stinging feeling being cut when he finally lays his head on my shoulder. 

I turn, giggling. "You're gonna get paparazzi-ed if you keep doing that." I say as I shut the curtains. He laugh. "I can't help it." He says. I am lost gazing into the beautiful man's face until I remember. "Oh! Introducing time." I say, then he grins. "What if I surprise Hae? If she's ARMY she'll love the surprise." He says, kinda being cocky. I stick my tongue out at him. "She passed out last time!" I giggle. He snickers. "Right. Maybe I should just let them come across us." I chuckle, and he grins. "Fine with me, Ara." He says. "Wait, we should just act like it's normal. I never bring home anyone. Like, ever. And you're an idol." I giggle, and he cracks up. I've been very giggle-y since I met Hobi.

"That's great!" He says. "Look, I'll make us some breakfast. Act natural." I giggle, pulling up his onesie hood. He's grinning still as he pulls up my hood. He grabs my hand, and I take a deep breath before I pad out into the hallway with him in tow. I get all the way down the stairs before we catch sight of Dae. He drops his croissant. "Wha- Who is this? Ara?" He asks, his eyes flicking from me to Hoseok. I shrug, until Hae skips around. She stops in her tracks, eyes widening at Hoseok. 

Her hands jump to her mouth and she starts crying. Hoseok shuffles closer to me, probably surprised. Dae turns to our younger sister. "What- What's wrong?" He asks. He's more like me as in he doesn't like the groups. Doesn't care; just nope. "Don't cry." Hoseok says hesitantly, stepping forward. He drops my hand as he steps forward again. "Do you want a hug, or?" He continues, hesitantly, as the stinging hits us.

She nods, stepping forward and hugging my soulmate. I watch and let the pain build as she pulls back from him. When he steps back, Dae is watching with dull eyes. "What. The. Fuck?" He mutters as Hoseok grabs my hand and the pain stops. Hae's still shaking and sniffling. "Well I'm going to go make food." I say, and I trudge past my siblings. Hoseok follows me and when we get to the kitchen I hear Hae explaining to Dae and crying more.

"Holy shit that was funny, except when you left and hugged my sister. That hurted, bro." I say playfully. I start making the food for both of us and he stays close to me. Halfway through, Hae walks in. "Hi." She says, excitedly but also awkwardly. I don't even spare her a look. "Good morning sister." I hum. "Did you seriously smuggle J-Hope home last night, Unnie?" She asks, throwing an apologetic look at Hoseok. 

"His name is Hoseok and yes I did." I say matter-of-factly. "Did he actually stay over?" She asks. I shrug as he leans against the counter, watching the conversation. "Ask him." I hum. She squeals as she turns to him. "Hello." She says. "Hi." He grins, waving slightly. "I-I'm Hae." She says. He grins, his over-the-top personality shining through for the umpth time. "I'm Hoseok, but you should call me Oppa." He says, bowing, and I freeze slightly as my little sister flirtatiously giggles. Aw, no, not this. Anything but this.

"Okay Oppa." She says cutely, bowing back. I am about to either snap or vomit before Dae enters the kitchen. "Stop flirting with him, Hae, he's like, as old as Hye." He snickers, ruffling Hae's hair. I sigh in releif as Hoseok scoffs. "I'm not that old." He defends, and I start plating the food as Dae turns to him and chuckles. "I didn't mean you were old. I'm Choi Dae, and you slept in my sister's room last night." He says matter of factly. I turn and kick Dae in the shin. Hard. "Leave him alone." I hiss as he rubs his leg, groaning in pain.

"Whatever... I mean, Hye is only a call away..." He says playfully, and I roll my eyes. "I'm Hoseok." Says Hoseok, greeting Dae with a bow. Dae bows back. "Nice to meet you. Refrain from doing anything that would piss off Ara's three protective Oppas. Please, thank you, and goodbye." He says, and walks out. I walk over to the table and put our two plates next to each other and sit down. Hoseok sits next to me and places his hand on my thigh as we start to eat.

Hae stands. "I'm going to go get ready for the day!" She announces, before skipping off excitedly.
