Chapter 4, "Old friend"
A little bit of angst|
What a pervert! "An experience of a lifetime"?! Asshole, I'll give you an experience of a lifetime! I charge up the stairs, who does he think I am?! I can't believe this! I bust through the room upstairs and fling myself onto the bed.
As if! I will show him!
Hoseok's P.O.V.|
I run up the stairs, Nova must be somewhere up here!
"Nova?! Where are you?" I run in and out of rooms until I see her stretched across the bed. "Oh god, I was so worried! Are you okay?!"
Nova's POV|
"I just have a little headache"
"Do you need some pain killers?"
"No, I need to get some rest. This day has me out of wack" I roll over to push myself off the soft surface and walk over to the balcony, Hobi trails behind like a lost puppy. The night breeze blows over the quiet city, giving me goosebumps.
No one nor car was on the streets, the only thing you could see was the streetlights beaming over the city. The stars in the sky shimmered brightly as if they were bragging to everyone about their special glow. They lit up the sky and gave it a dark sapphire color.
Never knew a pandemic would be so calming.
"So...uh how have you been?"
"Well besides getting stuck here, I've been good"
He chuckles, "Being with us is that bad? You haven't even met them!" "You know I didn't mean it like that Hobi-" he cuts me off. "I know, I know, you probably miss home. It's cool"
I twirl around and go back into the room. After wiping my feet I climb the steps and relax on the edge of the bed. My fingers run through the fluffy blanket and he sits beside me. As I examine him, I notice he's nervous about something. "What is it?"
"What do you mean?"
"You want to say something, what?"
He shakes his head "Nothing, it's nothing". His voice was progressively getting thick and unstable. "Come here" I grab him and pull him into my arms, and he snuggles into my neck. "I'm sorry, I'm so so sorry" I shush him.
Backstory time! Nova POV Highschool|
"Come on babe!" She grabs my hand, pulling me to the girls' bathroom "Please go away, I have work to do". Currently, we were in the school library studying for finals and in the middle of my lesson, she decided she wanted to get heated. So here we are. I tap the edge of my mechanical pencil, trying to focus on the simple problem.
"Nova"
"Nova"
"Nova~"
That's it I had enough. I get up from the table and push her away from me. "Cassidy, I said no! The only time you ever call me is when you want to fuck, and I'm tired of it! I'm not another one of the little toys that you have access to at all times, I'm not a fucking whore like you are!" I go to leave but she grabs my wrist, "Let go!" my hand comes across her face leaving a red mark "We are over!".
All eyes are on me, I should leave. I grab my book along with my pencil case and head out of the library.
A day later|
I flush the toilet and go to wash my hands but I am pushed against the wall. "What the fuck? Let go!" I struggle but it's no use they both are way stronger than I. Cassie strolls in with her hair tied up, and a nasty smirk was plastered on her face. "Babydoll, you didn't think you were leaving me, did you?" I spit and it lands on her shirt. "Fuck you!"
Her smirk fades and it is replaced with a frown, "You don't learn do you? Fine then! Hoseok!" Hoseok? What no!... Hobi? "Watch the door, I have to get dirty" He nods and looks down at me. We lock eyes, his face was unreadable but his eyes...they were filled with sorrow.
Back to the present|
His face is hot and my shoulder is soaked. His blubbering is the only thing you hear in the room. I try comforting him the best I can, but he is a mess. I grab his chin and pull his face up to mine, so I can look him in the eyes.
"It's not your fault, besides I forgave you already" I then boop the tip of his nose making his eyes flutter closed.
He grins, "You still haven't changed, have you? I could run you over and you would forgive me" I smile, I guess he's feeling better.
"Only for you Hobi"
It's good he got this off his chest, I can't imagine how he felt just holding it in, especially for all this time. "Go get some rest, it's getting late" He nods and goes to exit the room, I climb to the top of the bed and pull back the covers. "Goodnight"
"Night- wait how do you turn off the lights?" He giggles, "Lights off" the lights turn off and I am left in darkness.
