Hoseok has no idea where he is right now.

Like at all.

Aimlessly he looks around the streets, at the sidewalk he woke up on to have completely no correlation to any memory as to where he is right now.

Did Namjoon send him back to his time?!

But if he did, why is he outside and not in his cell?

Did he let him roam free instead?

A quivering smile forms Hoseok's lips to the thought of never having to deal with Mr. Kim and his tests again. He can now he can make a living for himself a-and perhaps get a cat and live on how own.

And most definitely-

A loud horn suddenly rattles the air by a moving truck passing by, forcing an immediate sensation of a blow to Hoseok's chest.

But that wasn't the only thing.

The people walking around sound louder, voices echoing his ears. Laughter. Screeches of the new rookie idol group debuting or of an ice cream flavor they're tasting on their lips.

Noises.

So many loud noises.

Hoseok's hands began to itch, breathing heavily with eyes closed while that familiar adrenaline rush cruised through his veins.

No longer was he hearing voices of friends greeting each other or hush conversations through the phone. No, it was replaced with the sound of his parents screaming at each other.

The sound of his mother crying hysterically as his father killed her.

The sound of his father making that same scream when Hoseok killed him for yelling at his face.

Noises.

So. Much. Loud. Noises-

"Hell yeah man! I just finished the game and that shit was lit!"

Hoseok's drugged stare focuses to the boy standing before the crosswalk, talking on the phone with his bellowing loud voice and wide smile.

He's being too loud.

"Yeah! We are still meeting at that curry place right? I'm starving!"

Quietly Hoseok moves his feet slowly behind the boy, teenager most likely, dark eyes focused on that smile that he will forcefully sew shut just so he can stop talking!

Just as Hoseok kills him.

The louder he spoke, the more Hoseok's killing impulses rises, now standing behind him and raising a hand to yank his backpack-

"HOBI! There you are!"

Hoseok flinches to the new loud voice, teeth gritting each other as he slowly looks to the side but was suddenly attached by arms wrapping around his shoulders.

Hugging.

Someone is hugging him?

Tensely Hoseok froze, unsure on how to even react, just as the person pulls back.

It's a man.

An unfamiliar man.

Yet familiar at once.

Blonde hair that tenderly reaches his cheek bones cutely. Sullen face with this feline sharpness of his eyes. Small, but filled with this light of energy as his lips form a smile as he stares at Hoseok.

Who is this man?

Suddenly images from when he was at Namjoon's basement flashed his mind, remembering having to have seen this man through flashes of memory of his counterpart's vision.

Wow, he's actually real-

"I've been looking everywhere for you! Come! Jimin and Taemin are at the café right now!"

Hoseok once again flinches to the volume of his voice, unable to stop himself from clasping the man's mouth with his aggressive hand and murderous eyes.

He's. So. Loud.

He's perfect.

Perfect person to sew their mouth shut-

"Hobi-" He groans through the muffled hand on his lips, slapping his hand away, "It's Ten remember? There's no time for this! Let's go!"

And boldly he interlaced their fingers together, dragging Hoseok down the street.

He's touching his hand.

Many things storms Hoseok's head at the moment, firstly eying they delicate hand interlacing his.

Delicate and fragile hands.

So pretty.

Pretty enough to keep in a jar and marvel them from the outside over and over again.

Hoseok subtly smiles to this, unable to stop himself from squeezing his hand back before suddenly they stop in front of a café. Ten quickly goes inside but stops as they get in line for the register.

"Do you want anything? It's on me!"

Yes, that pretty mouth of yours to be sewed shut-

"No thank you," Hoseok responds back calmly, looking around, "Can we go somewhere private after this?"

Ten digs into his wallet as he takes out his card, "Sure! Is everything alright?"

"Yeah," Hoseok chirps, eyes now focused on him before he smiles broadly, "I just want to spent some time alone with you."

Evidently Ten blushes to this, just as they were next in line, "Don't make me start to embarrass myself now."

Hoseok smiles to this, just as the man orders what he wanted and paid easily.

He's so pretty.

So pretty to die.

If only he wasn't so loud.

Maybe he would've lived a little longer-

"Alright, got my drink, let's meet with Taemin and Jimin!"

That's when Hoseok's ears perked, once again hearing that familiar name.

Jimin.

Jimin is here?

Hoseok furrows his eyebrows but follows Ten to the outside area of the café - immediately catching the sight of the familiar male sitting solemnly there with another familiar person beside him.

This man was Jimin's guard in his world.

What is this?

"Ah such a beautiful day today for a therapy session!" Ten sighs happily as he sits on the chair across from them, making Hoseok hesitantly follow suit but with an awkwardly smile when their eyes flashed to him.

Casual, he has to act casual for now.

"Yay," Jimin murmurs sarcastically but suddenly strains a smile that made Hoseok perk a slow eyebrow, "I mean most definitely."

Hoseok still remains with a confused eyebrow perked up, noticing evidently who the two are showing evident signs of discomfort and sullen expressions.

Are they together?

"So, how are we doing today?"

Hoseok quickly catches onto how Jimin tried not to shuffle to Ten's wide smile.

This Jimin sure is strange.

"Good," Taemin says, leaning back to the chair, "Can we get on with it please."

Hm, they clearly show signs that they don't want to be here.

Then why are they here then?

Hoseok could've been getting to work on Ten by now for fuck sakes.

So far into his thoughts he didn't feel at first how Ten nudges his side, not until the third nudge that he casts a side glance to him.

Ten is holding onto a tight smile as he eases the notebook towards him, showing a list of questions to ask.

Ah, well this answers it all.

Looks like they're in a couple therapy session.

Just what he needed.

His counterpart just had to be the complete opposite of himself.

"Alright so, first things first," Hoseok clears his throat, trying not to sound awkward, "How did you two meet?"

Both Taemin and Jimin glanced at each other immediately, asking who should speak up first with their gaze.

Are they being serious right now?

Hoseok rolls his eyes and was just about to pick for them until Jimin sits up and decided to do the honors.

"At the tattoo parlor," He says calmly, tapping his cup anxiously that made Hoseok's eye twitch in irritation, "I was already working there for a while but then Taemin came in one day looking for a job."

Guess he has another person to add on his list to kill if he continues with that fucking tapping.

"And what was your first impression upon seeing him?"

This is going to take forever.

Hoseok watches in boredom how Jimin gulps thickly, clear nerves showing through every angle of his face.

Until he finally spoke, "He was my little crush for a while," Jimin mutters bitterly before forcing a smile, "Thanks for exposing me."

They clearly lack a lot of communication skills.

Must be silent most of the time.

Ah, what an ideal relationship.

Hoseok tries not to smirk when he notices Taemin intently staring at the side of Jimin's head, but like hell did Jimin have the will to look at him back.

Coward.

"What about you huh? Can you agree you guys met like that?"

Thank goodness Ten is taking lead in this.

Hoseok would probably be too blunt for their sensitive nature.

Taemin didn't speak up instantly, not until Jimin turns to look at him.

He was already staring at him.

"Yeah, that's how we met," He says monotone before tearing his eyes to look at Ten, "My first impression wasn't so delightful. He was rude, but..... I guess not to me directly. More so to the world. Quite intriguing but I found it annoying," And his voice grew quieter, "Never thought I would end up loving it actually."

Ew.

This is ridiculous.

If they clearly feel something for each other, why not STAY TOGETHER?!

It's not that hard, fuck.

For a good second Hoseok was just about to suggest to Ten for them to leave, but the guy only holds onto his heart eyes as he looks at the couple before proceeding to ask more questions.

You've got to be joking.

This is going to be a long day.

And a long day it was indeed.

Two fucking hours passed by before Hoseok's eyes and he was just about willing to go back to Namjoon instead of dealing with this.

These two are hopeless!

Why does Ten still continue to try?

They're literally putting every excuse to not be together.

Ugh, maybe this world Hoseok would've dealt with this a little better.

All he wants to do right is just get Ten alone, that's it!

But doing this whole process to do just that is getting so damn draining!

"I'm going to cry," Ten murmurs and sniffles, looking at the two after they said some heart to heart shit about some intuition and shit, "Now, I want you two to think of this next question carefully. I know you have made up your minds, but after hearing each other out, do you think you would want to give this relationship another try?"

Okay this is coming to an end, finally.

But knowing these two, they probably will take another hour to respond properly to it.

However, to Hoseok's surprise, Jimin says "No."

Oh?

He actually says no?

Would assume he would say yes since..... He did look really into this guy.....

This is strange?

Taemin glares at Jimin from the corner of his eye, clearly not expecting this, but then looking the two of them with a small scowl.

"No."

Wow that felt cold and brutal.

Oh well, guess there's no hope for them after all.

But to speed up the process, Hoseok asks after glancing at Ten, "Do you think now after this conversation, you two are able to be in the same room without wanting to rip each other's heads off?"

The two glances at each other for a moment, their gazes much more softer than how it was only moments.

They're so hopeless that it actually hurts.

His world Jimin could never.

Taemin suddenly extends out his hand to Jimin. Hesitantly Jimin glances between the hand and back to Taemin's eyes, shaking his hand briefly but their grip tight before letting it go.

Ten in the midst of this taps the notepad, signaling Hoseok to finish this off with the last statement.

Hoseok subtly glares at him, but let's put a heavy sigh when the man's tender eyes stares at him in a pleading stare.

Ugh, he's still loud without even trying to be loud.

"Alright so before we end this meeting, I want you two to take a moment to look at each other, and say one last departing message before going on your own separate ways as a couple," Hoseok reads from the notepad, closing it up afterwards to signal that after this it's done.

Fucking finally!

But of course, that shit isn't exactly easy for these two.

Why do people have to be so sensitive, shit.

With a deep breath Jimin turns on his chair to look at Taemin, who's staring intensely at the table before gulping and turning as well.

It's so obvious that this is killing them more than words could tell.

Well if they want to experience real pain, Hoseok would love to demonstrate it without an issue.

Boldly moves his hand from under the table and interlaced his hand with Ten's, who didn't react on it with his expressions but he did hold his hand tightly back to him.

This feels nice.

Probably this is how it feels like to have somewhat feelings right?

"Well, I guess I'll start," Taemin whispers, fluttering his eyes to the ground for a moment before looking back at Jimin.

This should be good.

"Ah Park Jimin, what a ride it was being with you, figuratively and literally speaking," He says with a weak smile, trying to lighten the mood and it worked because Jimin was smiling already, "I..... I learned a lot from you. We had a very unusual relationship but it was very special and unique to us alone, that we only understood. Despite the intense moments we had, I have never felt so.... P-Peaceful and safe in my life. Thank you and I wish you the best for your life ahead."

Cute.

Alright, this is ending soon.

Let's keep it moving.

Jimin looks as though he was physically touched by his words, but he obviously puts his pride aside when he opens his mouth.

And Hoseok's dread suddenly pools through.

This is going to be a long one.

"I miss you," Was the first thing he said, and that was like a direct line to Taemin's soul because instantly his face falls and his lips pulled to a wobbly frown, "I miss hearing you in the morning, waking me up with MinMin with kisses her paws on my face. I miss holding you when I felt hopeless with the world but never said anything about it, but you just knew. I miss listening to you talk about how you felt or precious memories you think about. I miss looking at you while we made love and I made you mine. I m-miss you Taemin."

Wow.....

That shit was actually deep.

Damn.

Jimin had to pause for a moment, voice now growing strained and his tone cracking towards the end. It wasn't helping that Taemin's hands are once again shaking against his but he has to finish through it.

For everyone's sake by this point.

"I know we had our difficult moments where the weight was too heavy, and I made you feel so hopeless with this relationship. We hurt each other at times, but we always found a way to heal one another again. It felt like we were molding into the same person as strange as it is, we just knew how to handle each other more than anyone else could," Jimin blinks away the burn in his eyes and slowly shakes his head, looking into his brown eyes, "Its my fault we ended up like this, and I'm sorry. I always wanted to think that perhaps we weren't as hopeless and that.... We can do it..... Because I always thought that if I didn't have you beside me than I'd die, because I'm nothing without you. But we each have a chapter in our lives and ours came and ended too soon."

Okay this is getting long.

Come kid, wrap it up.

Not like you guys aren't going to fuck in three weeks from now.

The tension is clearly obvious here.

Jimin raises their interlaced hands and kisses both of Taemin's hands, "I love you, so much Taemin. And because I love you so much, I have to let you go. I hope sometime in the future we're able to sit down while drinking coffee and smile like good friends, but I would understand if it won't happen. Just be happy, live life, and spread your wings. I'll be here from afar rooting for you," and lastly Jimin let's go of his hand for a moment, reaching into his pocket and pulling out the ring, finally letting a tear stream down his cheek and clasp his hand back over Taemin's.

The ring being in between their palms.

Oh shit they were going to get married?!

Ah, that explains a lot.

No wonder they're emotional.

Ten tightens his grip with Hoseok's under the table, and Hoseok affectionately caresses his thumb over his knuckles.

He's so soft when he's quiet.

Maybe Hoseok will give him mercy just this once.

Taemin's eyes instantly teared up and it streamed down his cheeks uncontrollably, realizing what this was but Jimin only grips his hands back with a weak smile.

"Take care, and I'll always love you. See you around," And just like that, Jimin presses one last peck on his cheek and stands up, grabbing his jacket and walking away.

Yes!

Finally!

For a good moment Hoseok wanted to cry himself out of joy before tugging Ten's hand, "Can we go now?"

Ten glances at him but then looks back to Taemin, who's glaring with teary eyes to the chair that Jimin once stood before he got up and left as well without another word.

So Ten looks at Hoseok, now filled turned on the chair with delicate eyes gaze into his.

"Can you promise me something before we go?"

No.

But could try.

Maybe.

Hoseok grimaces but nods back, holding to both of his hands now.

Ten looks like he's getting emotional, but he only brushes it off with a weak smile, "Promise me we will try for this relationship, yeah? I really.... Want to last a long time with you, so please promise me that we will try hard to last a long time."

Aw, he's sweet.

The Hoseok from this world is probably over the moon into this guy.

He probably would if he could feel any traces of love in his body.

Affectionately Hoseok raises a hand and pets Ten's hair, letting it slide down to caress his cheek.

"I will try my best to make your remaining moments in this Earth memorable of us together," Hoseok says poetically, making Ten twitch a smile, "You're so pretty, I'll go easy on you, how does that sound?"

Ten chuckles, softly and lowly, just the volume that Hoseok likes.

"You're so silly," Ten whispers, moving his arms to wrap it around Hoseok's neck, staring into his eyes, "What would I do without you?"

Hoseok didn't answer to that, only leans over and clasp their lips together.

At that moment, he really did wish he could feel something.

Anything.

Mercy for the guy.

Happiness.

Even love.

Especially when Ten slowly smiled into the kiss.

Precious.

He's a precious kill.

So precious.

Hoseok trails his hands from his waist and down to his thighs, deepening the kiss that obviously made the other man get the message.

Ten pills away, blushing more than before, gently biting his bottom lip, "Um, I'm going to go to the bathroom, and from there let's go to my place. Maybe we can watch a movie?"

A movie for sure.

Chuckling to himself, Hoseok nods with a wink, just as Ten presses their lips together once again in a cute peck before getting up and going to the bathrooms with his giddily smile.

Maybe when Hoseok sews his mouth, he will make it into a smile.

He has a pretty smile after all-

A glitch of light suddenly sparks on the chair where Jimin and Taemin were once sitting on, making Hoseok evidently tense up once he noticed that everyone suddenly frozen to his surroundings.

Oh wait, is it-

Seriously..... Now?

Hoseok slumps on the chair as the spark of light widens to a portal, out exiting a familiar sorcerer with a glance over his surroundings before looking at Hoseok.

And he evidently relaxes, "Finally got all of them," He mutters to himself, "Alright let's go."

Hoseok still remains glaring at him, but once Namjoon's eyes flashed in a foggy red, he got to his feet stubbornly, "You seriously have the worse timings."

And annoyedly he goes through the portal, slightly hoping to come back to see that beautiful man once again.

And finish what his impulses has started.
