Under The Fox's Tail ⁷

Uneasy

You returned back from the weekend trip safe and sound along with your friends who had been asking about Hoseok for three days now, as it was now Thursday.

Jake was sitting beside you in the auditorium as you had your usual lecture together and once again he had mentioned your supposed boyfriend making you give him an annoyed glare.

"Sorry, He is just fun to have around. A bit straightforward sometimes but still, I like his company. Plus he spend so much money and took all of us on a trip. Don't you think it's normal for us to want to repay him somehow?"Jake reasoned as all he had been asking of you these past three days is to give him Hoseok's phone number so e could invite him for some fun around with the guys.

"Yes, I understand but I don't think he will like such stuff." You replied, being afraid that if he was to go alone, God knows what he may say to them.

"Oh come on. How do you know If you haven't even told him yet? What are you afraid of Y/N? Does he dislike us perhaps?" Jake questioned you and you immediately denied such a possibility, making his smile return to his face.

"Good then. Please just give me his number. It's not like I will pester him if he is busy or something. But since he was so nice to us all, I feel obligated to at least invite him. Don't you think that's proper?"

"Y-Yes, I mean, it's nice of you. I will tell him. Since I will see him tonight."You gave him a reassuring smile as you finally gave him a positive reply that made him feel at ease then you brought your attention again to the professor who was closing his lecture and was bidding you good night since the hour was 9 pm.

Once the professor took his leave you along with many other students stood up and gathered your stuff, feeling already tired for the day.

"Yukio and Lola will be waiting by the entrance," Jake informed you as he was reading the text Lola had sent him right that instant.

"They left their lecture before us, huh? They slacking again."You commented jokingly as you placed your bag above your shoulder and Jake laughed a bit as he took his first steps forward down the stairs.

You followed him soon enough, with a two feet distance from each other till you passed by the door of the auditorium where you noticed that your shoelaces were undone and you stopped to tie them up properly. However, your sudden halt in the middle of the corridor, caused someone that was walking behind you to also halt abruptly as he wasn't expecting you to stop.

"Wow, be careful there. I almost crashed on you." A male voice talked to you and you quickly looked towards him, soon murmuring a quick apology, before finishing fixing your shoelaces and getting back up and start walking away again.

"Wait, wait." The guy's voice reached your ears just before his body appeared before you, blocking your way.

He smiled for a minute as he looked at you and your momentary confused expression then he cleared his throat while his hands found themselves in the pockets of his jacket.

"That was such a cold apology." He uttered and you left your eyebrow rise a bit, questioning what was that supposed to mean.

"How am I supposed to make it sound warmer?"

"Well, I haven't seen you around before and-"

"I have always been here tho." You interrupted his words and started walking ahead, with intentions to reach to Jake who had stopped some feet away talking with a guy which he must know.

"I don't doubt that you have but what I am trying to say is that you look cute." The guy added while he was now walking at your side, a smile still on his lips.
