Jungkook's POV-

Hoseok ended up staying over well into the evening and I don't think we ever stopped laughing.

Surprisingly enough, despite being in an empty apartment, we were entertained for hours.

We talked about funny memories from our pasts, well he talked mostly and I listened but I didn't mind in the least.

He told me stories about his adventures when he first moved to Seoul from Gwangju to be a trainee, the different people he's been able to meet and collaborate with, as well as some stories he had about his travels abroad.

Like the time his friends pretended to leave him at a gas station in an English speaking country.

He also shared the story of the time he and Yoongi went on a ride at a theme park that was a big pirate ship that swung back and forth like a pendulum.

He said they screamed the entire ride and that at the time it was miserable but it's something they look back on and laugh about now. That's not to say he would ever do it again though. He was explicit when he'd said once was enough for that experience.

He was very clear about him not liking to be scared, which brought him into telling me all about the movie he watched and why he was so freaked out about me abducting him. We both laughed our asses off about that.

A little later in the day we started talking about our families and he told me about a charades game he and his family liked to play. He was appalled when I told him I hadn't played it before and insisted we play a few rounds.

My God, I nearly peed my pants from laughing so hard every time it was his turn to act out the word for me to guess.

As it started to get darker, and after we each finished our third bowls of Ramen, he reluctantly left but not before thanking me for the fun day and asking if he could come back soon.

After he left I made sure all the doors were locked and then headed to my room. I stripped off my shirt and laid in bed, the only thing going through my mind being the amazing day that I had all thanks to Hoseok.

I had seen him in interviews and he always seemed like a fun, charming guy, but in person he is way beyond any previous impressions I had of him.

I thought he was going to be more serious because a lot of the videos I've watched of him were of him doing choreography and talking to trainees, which apparently is about as scary and serious as he gets. He doesn't fool around when it comes to dancing.

I would be kind of intimidated if he was my dance teacher, but after meeting him in a casual setting, he is hilarious. I feel like I've known him for years.

Yeah, today was the best day.

Hoseok's POV-

As soon as I was safely back in my own home, in my comfy bed, I gathered my thoughts a bit and called Chan.

I was bursting with things to say about today.

*RING* *RING *RING*

"Chan, we need to talk."

"Hobi, hey! What would you like to talk about?

"Why didn't you tell me about Jungkook?! Were you trying to keep him to yourself? How selfish of you." I tease. "You and Yoongs keep referring to him as 'kid' but he is far from it.

"He may be young but he is a whole ass man so it would've been nice to get a heads up on that. I could have at least worn nicer clothes if I knew he would look like a Greek sculpture come to life." I huff.

He starts laughing, "So you like him huh?"

"He's great, Chan! I was there for like, eight hours today and I don't think there was ever an awkward moment. It was a blast! He gets my stamp of approval wholeheartedly!"

"Yes Hobi, he is very likable." He laughs, "Did you call me just to talk about how dreamy Jungkook is or...."

"Okay, fine. I called because we need to get Yoongi to keep him."

He continues to laugh in amusement, "I think I understand what you're trying to say, but please elaborate."

"Yoongi told me that he has no intention to meet Jungkook. We need to change his mind. Jungkook is a drastically different person than the shitty people that have come and gone over the years and I know he hasn't hooked up or dated anyone in-"

"You think we can get Min Yoongi to change his mind about something? Really?" Chan says with heavy sarcasm.

"I don't think I can, but I am very confident that you can. You are his closest friend. He will listen to you. I'm not saying they have to fall in love, but Yoongi needs someone like Jungkook around."

"I know he does."

"I understand the hesitation but just- wait, you do?"

"Yes, I completely agree with you. Although, I don't think he should be dating or anything like that with anyone right now as he just broke things off with Irene. I think he needs time to remember who he is again.

"To remember he's not all those terrible things she constantly accused him of being. I wasn't planning on setting them up to date. I have something else entirely in mind. So let me share with you the idea I plan to pitch to Yoongi.

"He has been needing an assistant for months and he refuses to find someone. I want to bring the subject up again and suggest that it be Jungkook. I think they would work and compliment each other well.

"I already know that on the off chance he even entertains the idea he is going to call into question the ethics of having Jungkook live with him while being so intimately involved with his daily life.

"I haven't quite worked out how we could resolve that along with any other questions I am sure he will ask, but I agree with you. He needs someone like Jungkook on his side."

"Are you not his assistant?" The question comes out sounding a little patronizing, which is not intentional.

It's just that Chan does so much shit for Yoongi that I really just assumed he was.

He laughs again,"I've sure been acting like one haven't I. But no I'm not. I'm just a friend that helps him. I don't have much time to do everything he requires though and he fails to see that his life could run so much more smoothly if he had someone dedicated to managing his schedule for him. Plus do whatever else he needs done.

"I've been trying to iron it out so it is a more solid pitch, as well as find time to speak with Jungkook, but I think if we could swing it, this would work out well."

"You are light years ahead of where I am! I just had the idea that we need to try to extend his stay at Yoongi's or something so Yoongi would be forced to stop being an asshole and talk to him. But your plan is even better than I could have ever come up with! It's such a great idea."

"I'm glad you approve Hobi! I will also let you know that the plan has already been started unknowingly by Jungkook himself. He had a call with Yoongi to go over what the expectations were for him to do while staying there and from what Jungkook told me about the call, it sounds like Yoongi already likes him.

"I was completely surprised and Jungkook said he didn't think he said or did anything out of the ordinary or off topic with the call so he didn't know why that would be the case."

"I don't think Jungkook realizes how likable he is." I smile. "What did Yoongi do? How do you know he likes him?"

"Yoongi is going to pay Jungkook nine thousand won hourly instead of the eight thousand eight hundred he was going to give Baek.

"For any college kid just moving to Seoul it would be hard to find something paying even eight thousand eight hundred so the original amount would have been more than enough. I couldn't understand why he felt compelled to increase it.

"I asked Yoongi about it and he said a rounded number would be simpler to account for and left it at that. I can't figure it out. I don't think I've ever seen or heard of him giving money to someone solely for their personal benefit.

"I've considered how he likes donating to charities and causes so he maybe viewed this as falling under that scope, but I can't recall him ever doing something like that for a single individual. Not to mention a stranger. Can you?"

"He really did that? And no I can't say in my years of knowing him I have ever heard of him doing that. Hmm." I hum. "Maybe this won't take quite as much convincing as we thought."

"I don't want to get ahead of myself, but I agree. It is going pretty smoothly so far."

After a short pause in the conversation I stifle a yawn.

"I'm glad we had the same impressions of Jungkook. I am also glad you have a solid plan instead of just a thought like I did. If you need me to do anything let me know. I for sure am going to be telling Yoongi how much I liked him and how much fun I had with him today." I say, suddenly feeling very sleepy.

"Go ahead and let him know but don't be discouraged if he comes off as brushing you off. You do get along with everyone so it's not uncommon for you to make friends quickly."

"You're one to talk!" I scoff. "Besides, that may be true, but I got really good vibes from Jungkook." I say, stifling another yawn.

"Make sure to relay that to him then. Alright, don't think I haven't heard those yawns you're trying to hide Hobi. I'll let you get some sleep. Good talking to you as always sunshine." He said with a smile in his voice.

"Night Chan!" I smile before I end the call.

Yoongi doesn't have to fall in love with Jungkook, but we're gonna help him see that he needs him.

"We'll see how it goes I guess." I sigh under my breath as I snuggle further into my blankets.
