Chapter Text
The chiming of the old clock harmonised with the soft sound of the rain against the window. Despite the time, Min Yoongi was in a studio playing the piano. He had to finish this piece. He was almost done with it, he couldn’t stop now. While he was scribbling down some notes, his phone screen lit up.
He decided to ignore this. Whatever it was, it probably wasn’t as important as making music. It was probably one of his friends bothering him or some other useless acquaintance. However, it lit up three more times. Clearly this couldn’t wait, so out of frustration he decided to look.
Unknown number (23:54):Hey, are you there?
Unknown number (23:55): It’s Hoseok? The guy from class?
Unknown number (23:57): No way, are you asleep?
Unknown number (00:02): Please text me tomorrow :3
Yoongi read the messages with a frown. He doesn’t know who this guy is or how he got his number. Yoongi wonder if he should respond or if he should ignore this. Eventually, out of both concern and curiosity, he texted back.
Min Yoongi (00:04): Who are you and how did you get my number
Unknown (00:04): Uhhh Jung Hoseok? From uni? You gave me your number?
Unknown (00:05): Wait... this isn’t Kim Seokjin?
Yoongi’s frown only deepened. Kim Seokjin? The name sounded familiar, but it wasn’t him. He decided to inquire more.
Min Yoongi (00:06): I’m not Kim Seokjin
Unknown (00:06): Wait what
Unknown (00:06): oh, oops
Unknown (00:07): You two have similar numbers and I made a typo! Sorry :(
Unknown(00:07): then who are you?
Min Yoongi (00:07): that’s classified.
Unknown (00:08): oh~ Mysterious~
Yoongi cringed at his own response and that of ‘Hoseok’. He thought about what he knows of him so far. He’s in uni, so probably about his age. He assumes Hoseok is a boy. He uses :3 emojis. It didn’t make him seem like a threat. Yoongi decided to text a friend. A friend who knows literally everyone.
Min Yoongi (00:09): Namjoon.
Min Yoongi (00:09): Could you do me a favour and tell me what you know of Jung Hoseok, user of the :3
Min Yoongi (00:09): And his friend ‘Kim Seokjin’
Kim Namjoon (00:10): My only question is Why?
Min Yoongi (00:10): First tell me who they are. I think I know this Seokjin guy?
Unknown (00:10): not-Jin are you there?
Min Yoongi (00:10) Why are you calling me that
Unknown (00:11): your name is classified :(
Min Yoongi (00:11): jfc right
Kim Namjoon (00:11): Age specification?
Min Yoongi (00:12): They’re in uni
Kim Namjoon (00:14): you’re lucky
Kim Namjoon (00:15): They’re harmless. Kim Seokjin is a uni student about our age. Idk what he studies, but he’s got a degree in being attractive.
Min Yoongi (00:15): I didn’t need to know that. What about Hoseok
Kim Namjoon (00:16): I don’t know him personally, but I do know he dances. Uni student too. I prefer Jin to be honest.
Min Yoongi (00:16): Jfc ok so I can sleep tonight in peace knowing that no weird agency found me or whatever
Kim Namjoon (00:16): what would they want from you anyway
Min Yoongi (00:17): What wouldn’t they want?
So he was a dancer. That’s not too bad. He was a little curious about this random stranger texting him. It could’ve been worse, like an old guy who got a fake number from a girl, but it ended up being his. It was late and he practically finished his piece, so why not have a little fun?
Min Yoongi (00:17): okay ‘Hoseok’ i’ve decided to trust you.
Jung Hoseok (00:17) Yay!
Jung Hoseok (00:18): why didn’t you in the first place??
Jung Hoseok (00:18): omg are you a spy or something? Did I accidentally interfere in government affairs?
Min Yoongi (00:21): No, worse. You disturbed me while I was composing.
Min Yoongi (00:21): anyway you may know my name.
Jung Hoseok (00:21): im sorry :(
Jung Hoseok (00:22):yes please tell me! Im dying to know!
Min Yoongi (00:24): I’m Min Yoongi
Jung Hoseok (00:25): That’s a nice name :3 How old are you?
Min Yoongi (00:27): someone’s curious. Also shouldn’t you go to sleep don’t students have awful sleep schedules
Jung Hoseok (00:28): Oh so you’re a grandpa. I was taught not to talk to old people because they might kidnap me.
Min Yoongi (00:28): excuse me you texted me first if anyone is suspicious it’s you.
Min Yoongi (00:29): and i’m not a grandpa
Jung Hoseok (00:29): ahaha sorry :3
Jung Hoseok (00:29): how about I tell you more about myself so you can trust me more?
Min Yoongi (00:30): you’re a student, you dance, you have a questionable usage of emojis
Jung Hoseok (00:30): now it’s my turn to be offended. How did you know I dance?
Jung Hoseok (00:31): You’re right btw. I’m 20 years old, I dance and I''m a uni student
Yoongi didn’t know what he was doing, it must be sleep deprivation. He was actually enjoying talking to this odd boy, who was actually pretty smart. And in the same city as him. He looked at the time and decided to head towards his apartment before responding. It was drizzling and quite late, but Seoul was never truly dark. Yoongi enjoyed the rain and the tranquillity, the dark had a calming effect on him. Maybe his nocturnal habits were not always healthy, that was made obvious by the bags under his eyes. He didn’t care though, there were other things to be concerned about.
After a few more minutes of walking and thinking Yoongi finally arrived home. His roommate was apparently asleep so he didn’t want to make too much noise. He sat down on the couch and pulled out his phone so he could type a response.
Min Yoongi (00:53): I’ll decide whether I can trust you or not. Tell me more about your dancing though.
Min Yoongi (01:03): Goodnight ‘Hoseok’
