Chapter Text
“You think applying for this job is worth it Hoseok-ah?”
Hoseok sighs. “I guess.”
“You sure this time you won’t leave again?”
Hoseok can’t do anything but think about how he kept a stone in his heart and applied for resignation from the job he loved so much. To the job that brought him not only decent money but happiness, peace, and almost family. Only if he would not be reminded so much about his mother every day by seeing the boss’s aged, humble wife.
His application gets accepted quite soon, and like him, it surprises all other applicants.
“Your height. It’s impressive.”
Hoseok startles. He gets disturbed as he well enough knows this can’t be a compliment, as he’s barely 6ft, and the person mocking him can’t be less than his. Maintaining a poker face which he is known for, he nods his head slightly.
But the other person is keen to talk.
“Hey, did you not see me?”
“Yes. I did.”
“So?”
“I didn’t come here to talk I guess. There’s an audition cum interview going on in there, I suppose you know!” He tries his best not to show his frustration.
The man laughs. “Oh, I know so well. The main reason you are here for, I am his besttt friend! I’m sure you must need my help before you go in there.”
Hoseok grins. He finally looks at the man. His features are sharp, but the thing he finds most captivating is his boxy smile. “And why so?”
“Because I am his best friend. Look, I just found you to be approachable okay? I’m Taehyung.”
Hoseok smiles internally. From the moment Taehyung stepped towards him to talk, the sweet pheromones he was emitting were hard to ignore, and it was too easy to understand the omega was in a good mood, nothing else.
“Okay. I guess I must meet you again after my auditions.” Hoseok smiles and steps towards the main room as his name gets called. He fails to hear something that Taehyung whispered.
Hoseok had never expected the audition to be so hard, or to say, boring. Not that he would be sad if he didn’t get the job, he’s thankful enough that all those classes from Jin had come to be so valuable. Now, just hope for the best.
It’s almost dusk when he returns home. And he’s welcomed by a sight he’d not want to deal with.
Seokjin. He’s crying in his room.
Sharing a house for almost ten years, he, Namjoon, Seokjin, and Yoongi have become family, to say even closer than that. In the entire span of his last job, he’d come home every weekend to reunite with what he deeply looked forward to the whole week- his dear friends. But when Seokjin heard that this job would be nothing like that, he broke down, and it is taking Hoseok a lot of his energy not breaking down then and there. But he has not got the job yet-
“Hyung-don’t, we don’t even know whether it is a yes.”
Yoongi nods. “But Hoba, do you think if they say yes, then? You won’t return home?”
Hoseok sighs. “I promise. I’m gonna find a way. Surely.”
A week passes by. And then it comes. By post. Opening the white envelope, his hands tremble in anticipation, and when he sees the words, “Mr. Jeong Hoseok has been selected as the bodyguard of our only son. Please find the rules…..” he knows it. That’s it.
