The next day when they went to shopping for the wedding, Yoongi just stared at Hosoek. Wanting to talk to him, but he can't make up his words into a sentence. Or maybe he's just shy... He doens't even know. But he knows that he wanted to talk to the boy. His heart was restless.
Namjoon observed Yoongi, he totally noticed the stared he threw at Hoseok. His protective ass couldn't stop himself more. He looked around, everyone was busy. Hoseok looked better than last night. Maybe he did some thinking at night.
Hoseok was busy choosing some hanboks with his mother, Jin and Jimin. The boys were gushing at every clothing and accessories.
He pulled Yoongi to a side, where less people were walking around. "What is it, Joon? Why would you pull me like this, people could think something else, you know?"
Yoongi looked around frantically. No one should be looking at them. "Yoongi, are you sending some letters to a certain boy?"
Yoongi froze, how did Namjoon know about it? Did Hoseok tell him? Or he found some letters? "How did you-"
"So it's true?"
Yoongi sighed and nodded. "Yes, it is." Namjoon looked angry. As if he's about to burst out.
"How can you play like this Yoongi? You are exchanging letters with your soon-to-be husband hiding your own identity..! Do you even know how it could affect him and his feelings?"
"Stop, stop, Namjoon. I'm not playing, okay? Even I just found out that it's Hoseok. I mean that Hope boy is Hosoek. I just realised it yesterday, when Jin called him Hope, and when he called you Joonie Hyung. I do want to tell him too. But I haven't even talked to him, like really 'talked'. Even he'd think that I'm playing with him."
"Then what do you plan to do?" Namjoon asked, desperately wanting to know.
"See, let us talk and interact more. Maybe he'll open up and I could grab some chance to tell him about my profession and the letter thing...?"
Namjoon sighed. He doesn't know what to do anymore. The situation is so complicated. His mind won't work at all.
"You can. But we're leaving here in two days. When are you gonna start talking to him? And the wedding is in 15 days, Yoongi. You better tell him about your really name and identity in some letter."
Yoongi shook his head. He is selfish, he knows. But now that he didn't even sleep the night and did some thinking too. He realised that he really like the hope boy. The way he talked and cared about everyone, including Agustd- the man he's just a fan of. Always asked about his health, his work and everything. He loved it. And to know that he is his fiance, was chef's kiss. He wanted to scream that this omega is his. All his and no one else's.
"No, Joon. What if he rejects me? I know I'm selfish. But I really like him. The letters and whatever he wrote on it was maybe a way to know his heart and should, which are so pure and full of love. I want myself to be his. And want him to be mine. I want to tell that I belong to this wonderful omega. Can you please give me a chance. He's.... He's marrying me anyway. I won't hurt him in any way. I'll respect whatever he wants whenever he finds about mea dn the letter things." Namjoon sighed. He knows Yoongi very well. But he also knows Hosoek.
That boy would do everything to hurt none, and make all happy except.... Himself. "Do whatever you want, but don't hurt him, Yoongi. I don't like when he gets upset. You know why I call him Hope?" Yoongi shook his head.
"When we were kids, the orphanage sent me to the same school as his and Jin's. It was him who found mme and called me to be their friends. And even though I fell in love with Jin and didn't even realise, he helped me and he even made us together. It was all because of him I married Jin. I found a family. He was my hope when I was alone, away from the cruel world. I did everything to make him happy. I even live with my in laws just to make him and Jin happy. It's not like I'm not happy. They never made me feel like I'm a son in law there. I'm also one of Jungs, not really Kim." Namjoon chuckled as he looked at the boys from far. "These two are everything to me. He'll cry silently when he'd be here, away from his family. You know, I have already talked about my transfer. We'll shift here once the marriage is fine. We all will be one family then." Namjoon winked. Yoongi was surprised by the emotional burt out of his friend. He never talked this about himself or even Hoseok. Now, he felt even more luckier to be marrying to an omega like this.
"Don't worry, let's keep it like this. I'll do whatever he wishes me to do. As Yoongi or Agustd, doens't matter. I'll say listen to him. Even if he finds about the letters and my identity after the wedding and he decides to leave me or everything- I'll let him go. But now we can't tell him. And besides it doesn't matter right. Both of them are me. The guy he is getting married or even the guys he's just secretly talking to."
"I know, but it is something more to him, Yoongi. He asked me to let him meet you. But I said Agustd is out of the town for some emergency. Since I didn't about your side of story."
"Thanks, Joon. I'm grateful, really. I'll tell him after the wedding. Furthermore, if he likes anyone of my identity. It shouldn't matter right? I'm the same person."
"But he doesn't know-"
"Yoongi.... Come on here, son." Min Jisoo, his omega father called out to him, wiggling a clothe to him. Yoongi nodded.
"Let's go. And don't worry about it. How about you talk to him too?" Namjoon nodded as he was still thinking something.
"Yeah, I will."
And they went back to the shopping with their family.
After the shopping in the whole afternoon, they decided that they'll have dinner at the Mins. They were shopping for some accessories in a show room.
Where Yoongi's eyes caught a shop of jwellery making. He discreetly went away from he group of his family before-
He talked on Hoseok's shoulder with his index finger softly. To be specific, he couldn't see anyone free, well, away from their partner, atleast. Everyone was glued to their partners.... Even their parents. So he found Hosoek looking around. He found it best that he tells him that he is going away for a while and this could be a better start. Right?
Hoseok turned around to see the alpha
His cheeks flared and he felt awkward, he looked around to see the same situation. He looked back at Yoongi. "Yes..?"
"Actually, I'm going away for a while. I'll be back soon though. Can you tell this to appa if he asks?" Yoongi's deep voice dud something to his stomach that he couldn't understand. His heart pounded a she nodded timidly with a little smile, that poked out his little dimples.
Yoongi really wanted feels those tiny beauty gals of muscles. But ofcourse, he needed to refrain himself. He nodded with a smile and said a little thank you before going away. It was hard to look away from the omega. Especially after what he found out the day before.
He went to that little shop. He could see some young people make some jwellery with the given tools and materials. He asked for the same and chose some colourful materials, pearls and a charm.
He made two accessories, a necklace and a bracelet, for his omega he could gift him in the wedding night. No, not like that. Just casually, when they talk about gifts or been each other. He'll gift the bracelet to him.
He made hope necklace for himself. The hope boy, that made him hope for true love.

He immediately wore the necklace around his neck, hiding the letters inside his shirt.
He packed up the bracelet in a box and wrapped it with a colourful wrapper. He took it back with him. He won't let anyone even see it. His brothers- he knows them very well. The tease.
When he was back, he saw Hosoek outside the shop. "Why are you standing here? Let's go in."
Hosoek shook his head. "They aren't in there."
"Then, where are they?"
Hosoek pointed to a cafe some shops away from where they stood. Yoongi could already guess whose idea it must be. He shook his head. "Then, why are you waiting here?"
"I- I was waiting for you." Oh man, that made his heart flutter. His omega was waiting for him? Aww. But he wanted to be a little tease.
"Why?"
Hoseok ducked his head down. His ear tips were red. Yoongi could see, that made him want to smirk, but it came out as a smile. "Since, you told me before going. So I thought I should wait here."
"Or, the youngers just forced you wait here for me?" Hoseok shook his head, widening his eyes. He was surprised how Yoongi knew about it. That was right. The youngers saw when Yoongi called him out to inform about his disappearance. So they decided to tease the boy.
"How did you-"
"It's usual for me. You should get used to it too." Yoongi shook his head as he started to walk, gesturing Hosoek to walk too. Hosoek just chuckled. He really found the boy's relationships with Yoongi adorable. Even though the other two boys were his brother in law. It never felt like it. It felt much closer, you could just feel it whenever you are near the four.
"They are adorable." Hoseok said with a small voice. Yoongi chuckled loudly.
"They are the sons of Satan. You'll know when you come to our home." Our home, felt so foreign yet familiar. Weird yet warm.
They went into the cafe and relaxed for a while before going another round of the shopping spree.
Finally at the dinner, they were relaxed. The dinner was ready and set on the table when they reached. The parents have made it already. They all sat at the dining table. Eventually, Hosoek doesn't know how but, he sat beside Yoongi. There wasn't any other place, so he just sat there awkwardly smiling at Yoongi whose gummy smile was on full display.
They interacted more time to time, just asking each other's favourites as they walked around to see the park and some other stalls. The parents were already home.
At the dinner, as they settled on their chairs, Hosoek was lost in his thoughts again. Agustd. From last night's thinking. He decided that he'll send one last letter to Agustd about his wedding with Yoongi and ask him to not send him anymore.
The marriage has been fixed for almost six months ago. He has agreed on it long ago. The wedding shopping has been done. The hall has been booked. He can't back away from the marriage certainly. So, he decided to stop this weird feelings for Agustd and his words. He would be focusing on Yoongi- his soon-to-be husband and his in-laws and the upcoming wedding.
The lights were bright. The delicacies were decorated in the table. The parents has made it already before they came since they were back home long ago before them. The dining table were ringing by the younger's playful banter, some hushed tone of the couples and some loud discussions about the marriage.
Jisoo broke his trance,"Hoseokie, eat up, son. You're so thin. Look at you. Or don't you like nay dishes?"
Hoseok blinked, shaking his head quickly. Now that he noticed, many of the dishes were of his likings. "No, no, eommonim. I like the dishes. I'll eat, I promise."
Jisoo chuckled as he nodded. "I made your favorite dishes asking Jin about it. So eat up and tell me how is everything. And call me papa, just like the and others."
Hosoek felt a warmth in his chest. His in-laws aren't like those people's he has heard. "Thank you so much... Papa."
Jisoo smiled widely at that. And form the corner of his eyes, he could see Yoongi's lips twitching up to a little smirk, trying to suppress his smile. He felt good.maybe, this marriage won't be so bad.
When he was about to eat, a piece of meat appeared in his bowl. He looked beside him, Yoongi smiling at him softly. "Eat up." He murmured.
Hoseok smiled, they are really nice. It's not like he loved Agustd. He just admired him and had strong urge to meet him. He saw Taehyung gasl and Jimin choking dramatically. As Jungkook looked at Yoongi as if he was betrayed.
"Did Yoongi hyung really-" Jimin shook his head.
"I know right. I think I'm going blind, Jimin-ah." Yoongi rolled his eyes.
"How did you share your food, hyung. I can't believe my eyes." Jungkook looked at him with his wife, doe eyes.
"Just shut up, y'all. It's just food. He wasn't eating much do..." Yoongi shrugged as he focused on his Biel of rice.
"Aww..." Jimin cooed seeing the couple red from being flustered.
Hoseok smiled at the playful banter. He could survive this. Infact, it's more than adorable. Caring in laws, loving brothers and a respectful husband. What could be asked more?
Suddenly a loud grown from outside erupted. The sky roared. It was about to rain. Unseasonal rain. It'd brings illness.
"You guys should stay here this night. It's gonna rain soon."
"But jisoo-" his mother tried to reason but jisoo cut him off.
"No, I am not hearing no as an answer Nayon. Y'all are staying here for the night. And that's final." Jisoo decreed his announcement and pulled Hoseok's mother with him to show rooms to them and even asked others to show them their room.
"Yoongi, show Hosoek, Jin and Joon their rooms, yeah?" Jisoo ordered Yoongi as he made his way to another guest room for their parents.
Yoongi nodded before turning to the boys. "Let's go..?"
Yoongi showed a room to Jin and Joon. Jin winked at Hoseok before going into the room, leaving the two boys alone to walk ahead.
The hallway was silent, save the loud rain noise and the tapping of their shoes against the tiles. Yoongi finally reached the room and opened the door to the midium sized room. It was casted with light from the multiple bulbs and tubelights. A two person bed in the middle.
Yoongi gestured Hosoek to go in. He went ahead and sat on the bed softly. His hand on blanket, clenching on it from the nervousness and his crimson cheeks from the earlier teasing round and Jin's little wink. Yoongi fount it too adorable handle. He wanted to pinch those red cheeks.
Hoseok fidgets with his fingers. "Thanks for showing me the room." His heart is pounding from the earlier proximity.
"No problem. It's... Just a room. Just making sure you're comfortable." Yoongi shifted his feet. The tension of his double identity gnawing at his back of his head. He scratched his head in awkwardness.
They fell into a silence again. The rain pattered against the glass windows. "You... Us you must be tired from the shopping and traveling." Yoongi hummed awkwardly. The awkwardness doesn't go away maybe it won't until they are friendly enough. Or maybe until he reveals his identity to his beloved fiance.
Hoseok looked at him with his wide, doe eyes. "A little." He ducked his head down. He couldn't really meet his fiance's eyes for some reason. No, he isn't cheating or betraying. Because the feelings he has forgotten Agustd was just admiration and a feeling of, maybe a desire to be closer to him, like friends? Or may e just creating a bond between them, nothing more and nothing less. He figured it out.
But can he establish a feeling of good enough of a relationship with his fiance? Maybe. His fiance seemed nice. Respectful, caring and understanding. His relationship with everyone was nice, adorable. "It was nice... Though."
"What was?" Yoongi looked at him confusingly.
"Talking to you." Hoseok's cheeks warmed.
Yoongi's ear tips turned red. His hands clenched as tightly as his heart pounded fast. "Yeah.... It was. You should get some sleep, Hoseok."
Hoseok felt too warm, his hand clenched on the blanket. He but his lips to stop a little smile that was eager to come out. His name from Yoongi's lips sounded beautiful. His deep voice calling his name- did something to his stomach that it twisted.
"Good night... Y-Yoongi." Hoseok stuttered in a low voice.
"Good night, Hosoek." Yoongi took some steps back, his hand hovering over the door handle. The. He finally nodded and left the room, closing the door before turning always.
The next evening, the Jungs were ready to leave. All things packed and they were ready to leave. They were bidding farewell outside the lodge. Yoongi and Jisoo dropped them at the station.
Jisoo hugged all of them,"let's meet in the wedding then."
Hoseok stood beside the car, tugging on his sleeves nervously. Yoongi was standing beside him with some space between them. Hoseok met his eyes for a brief second before looking away. "Safe travels, Hoseok."
Hoseok looked at him again with his wide and surprised eyes. He nodded and braved a small smile. "Thank you. Uh, see you.... Next time?"
Yoongi bit down a smile, them softly he said," yeah, see you.... In the wedding, Hoseok."
Hoseok ducked his head to hide his warm and red cheeks before stepping ahead go away, to their train.
All of them walked back. Namjoon has informed Hosoek and the family that they could shift here. His father was a teacher, so he could resign from there easily with a notice. He was happy about it. He could meet his family easily after he comes to Seoul after marriage. He glanced back at them again for the last time. Jisoo waved him bye and Yoongi smiled at him with a nod.
The wedding day was nearing and he really missed those comforting letters. Yoongi stopped writing to him, because in the last letter Hosoek mentioned that he should reply back when he writes him. And hosoek hasn't written a single letter to him. Maybe he also thought that they need to stop the letter game.
But he was surprised when he recieved a letter from Hosoek. His Hope.
"Dear hyung,
I guess, we should stop writing. I'm getting married in a week. My in laws will be here in three days for further preparation of the wedding and I'd leave Gwangju after that. And will shift to Seoul. You live there, right?
I heard you were out of town for a while. I wanted to meet you but maybe bad luck. I hoped I could meet you for once. I really want to see you and start a friendship atleast. Maybe that could send my heart a bit relief that these are all true. It's not a prank right? That someone is just playing with me? You are not, right?
Anyways, I just wanted to stop all this. That's all. Your words and letters helped me calm down, explore myself and relieved my stress of the wedding and all. Thank you so much. I'll always like you as my favourite author. And I'll always admire you.
Sincerely,
Hope."
Somehow, the letter saddened him. Did he break the trust he built in Hoseok's heart as Agustd? Maybe. Or maybe no. Did Hosoek ever loved his either of identity? He doesn't know. He'll earn the truth and love as Yoongi for Hosoek- from Hosoek.
He sighed and packed the bags for a week trip to Gwangju. He'll marry him, his hope.
