Taehyung slowly turned the doorknob, peeking through the door. Hoseok was sitting up in his bed, his hands pressing on his temple softly and rubbing them in circular motions.
"H-hey, good morning," Taehyung stuttered out, pushing the door open slowly. He had already fixed his hair up and gotten on some decent clothes, because, well, this guy wasn't an old creepy man after all and was pretty attractive.
"Shit," Hoseok hissed under his breath, looking up at him with sleepy, pained eyes. "Who are you? Did we fuck? I mean..."

He froze, shaking his head and handing the older a glass of water and a breakfast bar he had quickly grabbed beforehand. "Sorry to break it to you, but um, one, we didn't fuck, and two, you might want to check your messages, that pretty much explains everything..."

He watched patiently as Hoseok opened his messages, his jaw dropping when he had finished. "I am so sorry—"
"Don't," Taehyung interrupted. "I wouldn't have went and got you if I wanted to see you apologize. I just didn't want someone to suffer? Plus, I didn't want this Yoongi guy to hunt me down and slaughter me."

Hoseok laughed nervously, "You don't have to worry about Yoongi...he was actually the reason why I was there. We went through a breakup, and me being the idiot I am, resorted to drinking to solve my problems. And before you blame Yoongi for anything—we broke up on an agreement—he'd fallen out of love and I didn't want him to stay in a relationship that made him unhappy."

Taehyung walked over to sit on his bed next to the older,  "that still sucks, hyung...I understand."

"Thank you, really—for everything. For protecting me, for taking care of me; everything." He shuffled his feet, looking up at the younger. "How could I repay you?"

Taehyung froze. "Oh, um, wait a second...excuse me—" He bolted out of the room, pulling out his phone.
