Work Text:
Hoseok got back from his dance practice after a whole two hours. It was currently seven in the evening. He reached the dorm, entering his and Namjoon's shared room. Frowning at the empty sight. It had been a whole day he hadn't seen Namjoon back in the dorm.
Everyone was worried. Their leader was always calm and collected but he also tended to keep his worries to himself and not stress the group out and that made Hoseok worry about him. Making a mental note of going to Namjoon's studio, he went to freshen up.
Sometimes Hoseok had to just comfort him when things got difficult. He wouldn't push Namjoon to tell him anything but Namjoon knew that Hoseok would be there beside him whenever he was down and Hoseok also thought the same.
Namjoon and Hoseok were in a serious relationship for two years now. Their members knew about them and obviously were very much happy for them. Their relationship was a whole other level of wholesome. Both being there for each other, making each other laugh and smile. Looking at each other with the same love and fondness they had before confessing. The way they confessed to each other- was one of the sweetest things. They both had gone cycling along the Han Riverside. It was something Namjoon did when he wanted to feel calm but that day he asked Hoseok to join him.
Hoseok being the lovestruck human- he gladly joined. Just the simple, mundane activity of going cycling with his Joonie was something that made him smile brighter than the sun that day.
It was fairly late at night. Not many people around or should I say it was like no one was around. Just them. Under a sky full of stars. Along the riverside. Hoseok thought it couldn't get any more better than this, any more romantic. But when he turned around, there was Namjoon, standing with a small bouquet of flowers - consisting of a fairly small, neat collection of roses, purple lilacs, a sunflower and Hoseok's birth flower, a buttercup!
Honestly, how he managed to sneak the bouquet from the older boy was a mystery to Namjoon himself. Turns out earlier in the day he received a brief lecture from Jin telling him to confess to the other and just pour out his feelings and that's what Namjoon decided to do, thinking it was enough of waiting.
"Hoba- before you say anything, I...I just wanna get this out now. You're one of the best things that's happened to us as a group and to me as an individual. The way you shine bright when you're on stage, the way you smile and your eyes sparkle with the love you have to give the world. It's just one of the many things that made me fall in love with you.
I want to love you and make you feel loved. I want to spend all our highs and lows together as a couple. I want to go on dates with you. Or just hold hands and sit in silence. Hoba I've been in love with you for way too long now and it's hard for me to keep it in me any longer.
So Jung Hoseok, will you make me the happiest man alive right now by being my boyfriend?"
Nothing. It was just silence. Until Hoseok decided to just run into Namjoon's arms and started peppering kisses all over his face. Telling him how much he appreciates Namjoon as a person. His literal comfort human. Hoseok being the sunshine of the group was also sensitive towards many different things. To see the younger pouring out his feelings in such a way. Being vulnerable, made Hoseok a sobbing mess. Both Namjoon and Hoseok had confessed, telling each other how they felt, how strongly they felt things for each other. Hoseok agreed on being his boyfriend. Obviously how could he not. He was just so in love with Namjoon!
They had their occasional fights, which was a normal thing for every couple. But they also made sure to resolve the issue. Made it a rule to never go to bed without solving the small disagreements or sometimes the intense fights. They were there for each other throughout as well as the other members of the group.
Forward to two years. Here bangtan was preparing for a comeback. They were working harder than ever. Making sure they do everything right for ARMY. And just like that their schedules were filled with dance practices, recording songs, preparing for performances. Today was nothing different, but the only one thing that worried him was that he hadn't seen his boyfriend for almost a day or two. And he knew Namjoon was going hard on himself.
As soon as he freshened up, he entered the living room. The maknaes were chilling on the sofa, drained from today's activities. Where as Jin and Yoongi were up in their room probably making up for lost time due to their busy schedule.
"Guys have yall seen Joon? Did he come back at all today?", Hoseok asked them, concern laced in his voice.
"No Hobi hyung. Namjoonie hyung must still be in his studio. I'm pretty sure he hasn't eaten anything either." Jimin looked up with a frown and answered while both the two youngest boys were already dozing off.
"Okay. I'll go get him. Don't wait for us, it may take a while. You guys go and rest too, okay." He gave Jimin's head a quick peck and left the dorms.

Namjoon was sitting in his studio. Head in his hands, exhausted. He hears a knock on the studio door.
"Joonie? Can you open the door for me baby?"
It was Hoseok.
Just hearing his adorable boyfriend's voice was enough for the exhaustion to get to him. He tried to answer but ended up choking on the sobs. He knew everyone would be worried about him, after all it was a whole day he was stuck in his studio.
"Love, I'm coming inside okay?", he hears the door open. Hoseok knew his studio code. Hoseok immediately goes to his beloved boyfriend, seeing him crying. Muffled sobs coming out of his plump
lips. Eyes bloodshot. And face pale from the exhaustion and probably the fact that he didn't have anything in his stomach. He quickly pulls him into a hug. Warm and safe.
"Babe.. let it all out Joon. I'm here okay." Namjoon wanted to say something but he just couldn't stop crying.
"It's okay baby. You don't need to say anything okay. I'm here to take you home. Let's get you to calm down first and then we'll leave. We can talk later when we reach the dorm."
At times like these, Namjoon was truly glad to have Hoseok as someone whom he loved. As someone who he could call his person.
After five minutes or so, drinking water and eating something sweet that Hoseok had got him, he calmed down. Hoseok helped Namjoon pack his things and left for their dorms. Hoseok was driving while Namjoon was sitting in the passenger seat. No one spoke. It was a comfortable silence. Hoseok held his hands while he was driving with his other free hand. As soon as they reached, Hoseok looked over at Namjoon to find him sleeping. He leans closer to him, unfastens his seat belt. He kisses his nose in an attempt to wake him up, which scrunches adorably making him coo at his lover.
"Joon baby, wake up we reached."
"Nuh uh-", Namjoon whines sleepily.
Hoseok chuckles at his boyfriend's cuteness. "Come on bub. We gotta go inside. I'll run you a warm bath and you can relax and then sleep as much as you want okay."
"Okay." He quietly mumbles and gets off the car, both heading inside, Hoseok holding his hand just so that he feels the warmth.

Upon entering their shared room, Hoseok runs Namjoon a warm bath, dropping in a bath bomb. The scent of vanilla spreading around, which also somehow calms Namjoon. He plays a calming playlist just to keep the atmosphere soft. He then goes to the kitchen, filling the plate with some fruits and something for him to drink and also some Ramen since he was sure Namjoon hadn't eaten anything yet. He enters the bathroom to check up on his boyfriend, who was finally relaxing in the warm bath surrounded by things that helped him to calm down. He was genuinely so grateful for Hoseok. Sometimes words fell short to describe it. The domesticity of the situation would just warm Namjoon's heart.
He calls out to him.
"Hoba come in with me please and hold me. I want to talk with you.", he mumbles, his voice coming as a whisper.
"Ofcourse baby, you don't have to ask.", Hoseok smiles warmly, glad that Namjoon decided to let out what he was thinking.
He sits in the bathtub behind Namjoon as Namjoon rests his head on Hoseok's chest. Hoseok, not even wasting a moment, he volunteers to help wash Namjoon's body.
"Tell me baby, what's wrong? Why were you in the studio not wanting to return back to the dorm?"
Namjoon takes a deep breath before speaking again.
"I.. I was stuck on this track and I just couldn't get the beat right. I kept on playing the same sound for God knows how many times but still thought something was missing. I don't know. I
..I guess I- I guess I just felt disappointed in not being able to make something unique. We always promise ARMY to comeback with something unique and all that just got to me. I don't know I feel stupid now that I voice it out loud. Sorry for worrying you guys".
Hoseok cups his face and kisses Namjoon's lips softly, and then looks into his eyes before speaking up, "Joonie, my precious, listen to me, it's okay to feel stressed sometimes, whatever you feel is valid. I know our schedules are busier than ever and there's a whole comeback for us to prepare for. But we can't afford to overwork ourselves, it will only end up taxing our health. Next time you feel like this, come talk to us. Okay? As much as you care for us, we all care for you too. I love you so much Joonie and I know you'll come up with something soon. We'll help you out too."
"I love you too Hoba. So so much. Thankyou '', Namjoon kisses Hoseok eagerly, pouring his feelings into that small yet passionate kiss. Which sure did a lot to their hearts. Left their lips tingling. two years into the relationship and they still had the same level of admiration and fondness for each other, or maybe more! Even though they kissed each other multiple times in the past they couldn't stop their hearts from fluttering. The warm, fuzzy feeling always lingered.
"So tell me what did you guys do today?" Namjoon asks Hoseok while he continues to clean the younger's body.
They both talk about the day's events and Hoseok tells him about how everyone was tired and how their choreography was coming together. They both eat the Ramen which Hoseok had bought and also finish the fruits. By the time they both head to bed, Namjoon was pretty much relaxed, his mind clear and a warm feeling coursing through his body. The way Hoseok comforted him today was just really helpful.
-
They were laying on the bed, in silence. Hoseok's head on his chest, listening to his heart beating and Namjoon's arms protectively holding Hoseok's tiny waist.
"By the way, tomorrow we have a break. So we can sleep in. You are also sleeping in with me. You deserve this. Got it?", Hoseok says trying to sound stern but Namjoon just knows he has his soft lips in a cute pout looking just as adorable.
"Of course baby! We are sleeping in."
"I love you joonie!", Hoseok says softly, kissing the younger's nose which he always found too adorable and then his lips.
"I love you too sunshine!"
Namjoon chuckles, softly pecking his lips as they both cuddle close to each other, drifting off to sleep.
