Jimin is pacing wondering if now is the right time. 

Hoseok had said yes.

Didn’t he?

To be honest Jimin is not sure, because apart from the day they talked there had been nothing finalized. But today was the day that Yoongi and Jungkook were set to go on their date and Jimin wanted to ask Hoseok out. Only he couldn’t muster up the courage to get the words past his lips.

He couldn’t do it this morning when he and the man were alone in the kitchen, and he nearly tripped over the chair trying to escape. He couldn’t do in the van on the way to practice when the stars aligned and had him and the older dancer as the only two in the way back seat. So he pretended to be asleep the entire drive. And he can’t do it now even after staying behind to get some extra practice in with his hyung.

Damn it Jimin, open your stupid mouth.

The boy berets himself.

It is Hoseok who finally breaks the silence.

“This choreography is a little difficult to make perfect, isn’t it?” The man asks as he tries the dip one more time.

“Yeah, I think it ranks right up there with the Danger choreo, for difficulty,” he answers.

“Jimin,” The man says slowly.

“Mmm,” the younger replies.

“Are you alright? I mean you have been jumpy and a little strange around me for the last few days. Did I do something, say something, you know, wrong?”

He was caught, and he thought he had been so subtle. But it seems he hasn’t been.

“No hyung, God no,” Jimin sighs because he feels like he always messes up when it comes to this hyung. “I just—the thing, well, you see—ah, f**k. Why is this so hard?”

“What’s hard? What’s the matter,” the concern in Hoseok’s voice makes Jimin feel more stupid. He wants to run and hide, but this is the most open the door will ever get.

“Uhm, hyung, you remember the conversation we had? The one where I uh, asked you to date me too? Uhm, well you said yes, but I am just checking to see if you know it was true. Or if you just said yes, you know, cause,” Jimin mentally kicks himself for babbling, but he can’t seem to control the amount of “uhms and uhs he is using.

Jimin’s breath hitches when Hoseok’s breaks out into a smile that reminded him of the sun shining.

“Jimin-ah I’d never do something like that. I meant yes,” Hoseok says gently.

To be honest the older man had been waiting for, the younger to approach, and when he hadn’t Hoseok thought maybe he had changed his mind. He finds it endearing that the younger man was so nervous. He has never had anyone like him so much they were nervous around him before, and Hoseok thinks he likes it. Scratch that, he knows he likes it.

“Really?!”

Wait?
