Hoseok

"Hello, how can I he- Hoseok?"

Jin stood behind the front desk with a bewildered look, watching Hoseok step inside the shop.

"You know Yoongi isn't here, right?"

"Yeah, I know- I came here to talk to you."

Hoseok expected the odd look from the older, so he was ready to further explain himself.

"The thing is, I know I kind of got Yoongi and Jungkook to meet and all, but they spend a lot of time together now and I just wanted to ask you about Jungkook because he's a whole mystery to me."

As the boy spoke, Jin patted a stool next to his, and let Hoseok sit and fully explain, causing him to feel more relieved after he finished his statement. 

"Okay, if we're going to talk about Jungkook, I want to clarify something that I don't think you're aware of."

Hoseok furrowed his brows in confusion, also feeling a slight rush of anxiety.

"What does that mean?"

"It means you're jealous, Hoseok."

"Jealous?"

That word wasn't even in the younger's vocabulary. He never thought of himself as the jealous type. He honestly couldn't believe what was being said.

"Yes, please consider it, even if you don't think it's true. Just look at the situation, Yoongi is with another man for a period of time, and you're angry about it. Like you said, Jungkook is a mystery to you, but would you necessarily say you like him right now?"

Hoseok shook his head in defeat. He hated that everything Jin was saying was completely true. He, in fact is jealous, and he has to accept it. 

"Exactly. So, now that we have that clear, what do you want to know about Jungkook?"

There was jumbled up thoughts and questions in Hoseok's mind, he just blurted a word instead.

"Age- I wanna know how old he is."

"He's eighteen."

"Frick-"

"Yeah, younger than you thought, huh?"

The dancer felt mind blown at the simple fact. 

He's younger than me- wait, he's younger than Yoongi, by six years. 

"Okay, Hoseok, what else?"

The latter tried to clear his mind, to rid of the jumbled mess. The simplest question, he thought, would be to ask about the past.

"I know Jungkook became known because he did all his tattoos, but how did that all start?"

Jin shifted in his seat, recalling the information.

"Well, he was really young. His father was a tattoo artist, nothing big though. Jungkook was just a reckless teenager that picked up a tattoo needle and started tattooing himself. Of course, at first he wasn't good, but he did it so many times, he got the hang of it. After he decided he was good enough, he began doing tattoos officially, like his father."

The details soaked in Hoseok's mind as he processed the story. The word,"reckless" stuck to him. 

"Hm, it doesn't make me feel any better about him though."

"Well, yeah, because you're jealous, you're not gonna like him no matter what I say."

Hoseok's eyes shot directly at Jin, causing him to put his hands up in defense.

"Hey, I'm sorry- I'm saying the truth."

The younger just sighed, throwing his head back to look at the blank ceiling.

"I know... I'm just stubborn and annoyed. I don't know what to do."

Jin instantly turned into the comforting mother he's known to be, and held Hoseok's hand.

"It's okay, just try to contact Yoongi, but don't be too stressed about it, stress is the worst thing in any situation."

Hoseok nodded, understanding the advice. 

"Thanks, Jin- for everything today."

"Anytime, you can always come to me for anything. Now go back home and get some rest."

"Ok mom-"
