Truth to his word, Namjoon dropped them off at the entrance of the facility. He motioned for them to get off the car.

"I have some other matters to attend to." Namjoon said."You know how it is working in the government. I'll see you two tomorrow."

He waved goodbye before speeding off into the distance. Yoongi looked at Hoseok.

"What now?"

"We should probably go to sleep. It'll probably be a hectic day tomorrow." Hoseok replied."After all, tomorrow's the last day we see each other."

"Because of training right," Yoongi sighed."You go first. I want to take a stroll around the place."

Hoseok arched an eyebrow. "By yourself?"

Yoongi nodded. "Go ahead without me. I'll be fine."

"A little kiss before you go?" Hoseok asked, half teasing. Yoongi stared at Hoseok amused.

"Those Perfect Match kisses are definitely something aren't they?" he asked. Hoseok shrugged. "Well, you still have a boyfriend. I won't do that to Jimin. I'll see you."

It hurt to see him go. Hoseok had greatly underestimated the intensity of the Perfect Match mark. Part of Hoseok wanted to run to Yoongi, yearned to stay at his side. Hoseok already missed the feeling of Yoongi's lips, the arms that wrapped around his waist.

Hoseok's mind flashed back to their kisses. He had been rendered speechless at the sight. Lips parted as they in took small intakes of air. Yoongi's ears reddened completely. The expression of euphoria on his face, complete with adoration and happiness. His hair, still in place, begging to be run over.

Hoseok shut the door to my room, sighing in relief. No Jimin today. Good. Hoseok couldn't have him seeing the glowing mark. He stopped in front of the mirror, undressing his upper body. Hoseok was met with the pink glow of the mark, the mark that ran through half of his body only.

"What are you doing to me?" Hoseok murmured, tracing over the mark. With every heartbeat it pulsated, sending my thoughts back to Yoongi.

Yoongi. It wasn't hard to find him interesting. After all, he radiated innocence and purity. He had never been exposed to this type of life before meeting Hoseok, the supposed love of his life. Now he was forced to live it. No doubt he's missing his old life, his quiet, loving, non-rebelling life. This lifestyle wasn't made for someone like him. And yet, Hoseok's interest in him has only increased upon meeting him.

Every time Hoseok was with him, he found himself memorizing every little detail of his. From the slight scoff he gives when he finds something amusing, to the way he blinks thrice when something is of interest. Hoseok had begun to internalize the different tones in his voice, his feet shuffling, his bottom lip biting when he's nervous.

Now with the mark activated, these feelings would grow more intense. Tomorrow, the photos were set to. be released, causing mayhem around Korea as they realize the country's only homosexual match was not eliminated by the system. They'll start to question the validity of the government.

The government will begin to point fingers. Taehyung will be beyond angry that the plan he and Seokjin had set in place failed miserably. He'll probably try to order the media to keep quiet, to wave it off as fake.

No doubt Jimin would see the pictures. He would be hurt, furious even, at the fact that Hoseok's lips have been on another man. He'll demand an explanation and demand to see Hoseok's mark. Once seen, he'll probably feel more rage and question their relationship. Not to mention, Jimin knew nothing of Yoongi's decision to go forward with the child another problem Hoseok would have to address.

But Jimin was still someone Hoseok held dear to his heart. He is Hoseok's love, and no matter how intriguing he found Yoongi, Jimin was with Hoseok first. Jimin understood Hoseok because they were the same. From the same background, the same upbringing. It's what brought them together. Hosoek couldn't let him go just because of some dumb match, even if he was going to have a child with him.

Hoseok fell into his bed, feeling extremely exhausted from today's events. He didn't bother putting on sleepwear, he slept without anyhow.

With Yoongi in his mind, Hoseok fell into slumber.

🌟

Hoseok woke to the bed empty. He sat up looking over the side. No Yoongi. His side of the bed was cold.

Had he not come back last night?

Worry ran through Hoseok. Unable to help it, he began thinking about bad things, resulting in him immediately getting up from the bed and hurrying to change.

New Voice Message.

"Open."

"Hey, Hoseok it's me Yoongi. Sorry I'm not there. I ended up staying with Ruby through the night. She saw me walking outside and we just talked about everything. We're currently in the cafeteria, about to head up to my new room. I'll start training in the afternoon. Oh, Jimin's waiting for you I believe. He keeps shooting glares at me. Alright, that was it bye."

Hoseok sighed in relief. Of course he would be okay. He shouldn't have overreacted like that. But even then, he decided to go to Ruby?

The cafeteria was hectic, to say the least. The normally empty cafeteria was completely buzzing with life. Hoseok's first instinct was to locate Yoongi, so that's what he did.

Well tried to.

The cafeteria was too crowded for Hoseok to spot him, especially someone of his stature. Hoseok brought my bracelet to my lips, muttering Yoongi's name.

"Hello?"

"Hey, where are you? I can't see you from the number of people in here."

"Are you trying to find me?"  Yoongi sounded surprised at Hoseok asking him his location."Shouldn't you be looking for Jimin?"

"What? No. Right now you're my responsibility. I should be with you as much as I can," Hoseok responded wondering about the cafeteria. 

"I'm on the second floor, middle front. Look up I think I see you."

Hoseok looked up. At once, he noticed Yoongi making eye contact with him, waving his arm while the other had the bracelet on his lips. 

"I see you." Hoseok waved at him, lips turned upwards into a smile. "I'm on my way."

Without thinking anything of it Hoseok dashed up the steps, squeezing his way through the countless people. Mumbling incoherently 'excuse me' and 'pardon me', Hoseok finally managed to get to Yoongi. His back was turned towards the blank screen, his motions not moving from when Hoseok first called him.

Ruby was the first to spot Hoseok. She smiled, gesturing him to come over. "Hoseok!"

"Hey Ruby," I greeted. "How are you?"

"Amazing." Ruby grinned."You know after Yoongi and I had that bonding time. It was great. I feel so much closer to him now."

Hoseok mustered a smile. "Sounds nice. I trust you took good care of him."

"Oh yes. If I didn't I would never hear the end of it from you seeing as he's your perfect match." she took a sip of her drink."Namjoon called us all here. I'm not sure why yet, but everyone is pretty excited."

"I figured. The place looks packed."

Ruby nodded, setting her drink down."Very."  

Hoseok's eyes looked at Yoongi who had remained in his spot unmoving. Why hadn't he moved yet? He knew Hoseok was here. Yet, he stayed in his spot, still as a statue.

"If you'll excuse me, I'm going to go get more food," Ruby said."Go talk to him."

With a nod, Hoseok walked towards Yoongi. A strange feeling began to bubble inside him. How was he supposed to approach Yoongi? Was he supposed to tap him on the shoulder? Just stand next to him? Clear his throat? Hug?

Hoseok shook his head. This wasn't time for him to be acting like a middle school kid. Hoseok just had to approach this the way he would approach his loved ones. Not that Yoongi was a loved one or anything, of course, he only had eyes for Jimin.

"What are you waiting for?" Hoseok asked Yoongi once he approached him. Without saying anything scooted over, giving Hoseok space to stand next to him.

"Waiting for the big announcement," he replied, eyes fixated on the screen. "It's so great everyone's here."

"I heard. Funny enough I didn't get a notification for it."

"I didn't get one either." Yoongi said."Ruby told me."

Then it was about yesterday. The date. The kiss. I wonder if Korea's already in turmoil over it. Has it reached the media outlets yet?

Yoongi finally made eye contact with Hoseok. The first thing Hoseok noticed was that Yoongi was still wearing yesterday's clothes. The only thing different was the constant flush in his cheeks and his unkempt hair. His eyes looked a bit more widened and seemed to give off a glimmer. He titled his head to the side, raising an eyebrow at Hoseok.

"What's the staring for?"

"You just look different." Hoseok said hesitantly."Not a bad different. A good. Like I didn't know you had blush on your cheeks or how your eyes seem to sparkle. And how you—"

"How's Jimin?" Yoongi cut Hoseok off abruptly.

"Jimin?" he echoed. Yoongi nodded.

"Yes, he's been looking for you."

Truth be told Hoseok had forgotten to look for him. The moment he had stepped into the cafeteria, Hoseok's worries were on Yoongi.

Hoseok's eyes drifted toward Yoongi's chest. Yoongi's mark couldn't be seen glowing underneath his clothes. Good. Hoseok didn't want anyone seeing that just yet.

"You know Jimin did strike me as the jealous type." Yoongi commented."I didn't think he'd come up to me over it though. He was angry. About the date."

"Well, he's normally not like that." Hoseok said."He does have a right to be angry. He is my boyfriend after all."

Yoongi rolled his eyes. "And when are you breaking up with him?"

Hoseok stayed silent. At the notion, Yoongi scoffed, shaking his head. He turned away. Hoseok could tell Yoongi was disappointed in the response, but he needed to understand that all of this is was complicated. Hoseok couldn't just abandon Jimin for him. That's not how it worked.

"Yoongi look at me."

"No." His response was short, stoic. It didn't seem like anything, but Hoseok knew he was just concealing his feelings.

"Hoseok!"

Yoongi tensed at the sound of the voice. Hoseok turned his attention to Jimin, a smile immediately making its way into his face. Jimin smiled back, running towards Hoseok.

"Hey baby," he said, embracing him before leaning in to kiss him. Jimin eagerly responded back before laying his head on the crook of Hoseok's neck.

"I've missed you." He murmured.

"It hasn't even been a day since you last saw me." Hoseok laughed, shaking his head a bit.

"Doesn't matter. Hours feel like years when I'm not with you." Jimin said."Where have you been? I had been looking for you!"

"Talking with Ruby. Then with Yoongi." Hoseok replied, gesturing to Yoongi."He's right there."

Jimin's expression soured. Yoongi paid no attention to him, however. Just then the projector lit up. Everyone immediately shut their mouths and began paying attention to the screen.

A pit began forming in Hoseok's stomach. Yoongi and Hoseok appeared on the screen, walking in the pathway that they had been told to walk yesterday. Hoseok felt Jimin freeze, clinging a bit tighter to Hoseok.

On the screen, Yoongi and Hoseok had stopped walking. Hoseok's mouth was moving and Yoongi had nodded. He turned to look at Yoongi, whose eyes were fixated on the floor. He sensed Hoseok's look lifted up his gaze slightly. As soon as they heard everyone's gasps Hoseok knew.

Hoseok's eyes darted to the screen projector. The video had been paused, the kiss between Yoongi and him on full display. Next to it, a live stream of Seoul. Confused faces as they saw what was broadcasted. The camera flashed to Taehyung and Seokjin, mouths open, confusion written on their faces.

The entire nation saw them kiss. Seoul, the President, Daegu, the facility, Ruby, Jimin.

Hoseok's head snapped up. Jimin.

He stood there rigid, eyes fixated on the screen. His bottom lip quivered, his eyes glossing over. He had pulled away from Hoseok's embrace, jaw clenched tightly.

"Jimin I—" Hoseok tried to reach out to him. Jimin drew a sharp breath. 

"Don't touch me." His voice was low, dangerous."If you know what's good for you, don't."

"Jimin-"

"Excuse me." He brusquely pushed Hoseok aside, causing Hoseok to lose his balance and fall into a very unaware Yoongi. They both landed on the floor, Yoongi groaning softly at Hoseok's weight. People watched the scene unfold, curiosity in their faces.

"He saw it." Yoongi stated brazenly. "Well."

I have to go find him.

"I'll be back." Hoseok stood up and without waiting for a response, Hoseok went chasing after Jimin.

a/n: the fact that the drama only goes up from here. i'm looking at all the new comments and stuff and i'm just like "ya'll really don't know what's going to be happening here." i'm currently on hotspot right now which sucks, hate it here.
