@(b) hoseok Did he want to talk about it? No. Most definitely not, but at the same time he did. It'd be great if his emotions and his mind could come in agreement more often than the rare occasions. Like when he left home. That was unanimous. Hasn't been since. As the guy explained himself he felt someone finally understood where he was coming from. Maybe talking to a stranger wouldn't be a bad idea. "I..." He patted the seat next to him. "Not really, but at the same time I do." He leaned back as he ran a hand through his hair. "I don't even know where to start. I ran away from home, because my appa's an with a gambling problem. My two oldest sisters are themselves to pay off the debt. My third oldest is selling drugs to help and all four of them are blowing up my phone, because they're strapped for cash right now. When I left I thought all my problems would go away, but they didn't. Then I join a pack and I think the same thing, but they didn't. Now they're bothering me again and I'm stressed and I feel like running away again, but I can't abandon my pack like that. Plus I have no where to run." Though it's not like that stopped him the first time. "I'm sorry I'm rambling. Do you want to talk about your problems too?"

@(b) jungkook He obviously needed to relax. "I'm okay, I think I just have a um.. An itch in my nose. I'm fine." he bit his lip as Jungkook helped him, hiding a smile. "Put your brow down, Kook. It's gonna fly off your face at this rate." Jimin relaxed, and sipped his coffee as he began thinking. "I like.. I like that you can make up a whole world with new rules and new tech and new creatures. That's just the coolest, and then you get to interpret everything--" at this point he'd put his mug down and was leaning against the beta. Jimins hands were on his own cheeks, looking out the window in wonder, imagining new worlds. "Doesn't it all sound exciting?"

@(b) jungkook Jimin smiled as he felt the pressure from the beta's return of his hug. It would be even better, had Jimin remembered to wear his facemask to filter out some of Jungkook's scent. Problem was, he didn't have any, so he'd have to manage with slow breathing and deep inhales. This would prove to be a test of strength. "Not at all. Mm mm." he murmured, reluctant to let the other go, but fully aware that it would seem odd if he hadn't. So he did. "I'll make them, Just have a seat, I can manage," He explained, smiling and turning to the small coffee station, and preparing two mugs, just the same, with creamer and sugars on the side, just in case. When he was done, he brought the beverages over to the small table, setting them down, and tugging Jungkook next to him, careful not to sit too close as he hovered over his coffee to try and inhale that instead. "So... Lets talk~"

@(o) woozi [sh] Hoseok nodded in understanding, "Wanna talk about it? I know we just met but I heard talking to strangers helps and I just so happen to have family problems myself. You don't have to of course its just that its something I don't want to tell my pack members because I know it'll affect the way they look at me and I really don't want pity. Am I making any sense?" He scratched his neck looking away for a second beginning to get embarrassed. What if the guy didn't want him in his business? What kind of person tells a random stranger his problems? What kind of person offers? Only weirdos, he bets. During ll this time Hoseok was staring at the poor guy too. Great if he didn't think he was weird then he's pretty sure he does now. But Hoseok wasn't going to let that stop him. The guy looked pretty miserable and Hoseok wanted to do anything he could to cheer up.

@(b) Jungkook ( cries omg I missed you, I thought you forgot or didnt like my reply TT ;; also hi <3 )

Jimin was slightly confused when Jungkook vanished for a few seconds, peeling out further to try and crane his neck enough to see where he'd gone off to. Little did he know, he wouldnt have to search for long as he heard a smooth voice alarmingly close to his ear. He jumped slightly before processing what had happened. His reaction wasnt as slow however as he, for some reason (nearly) shouted "Kookie!", and turned, hugging the other tightly. "I didnt miss you, that's not what this is. Clearly." He explained, trying to salvage what remained of his dignity. A few minutes later though, he nodded, leading Jungkook into the back, the small nook containing a grand total of two tables and three chairs, and a window seat, adjacent to a self serve coffee station. "Can we talk here? I know it's a little cramped, but there's no one here yet, so it shouldnt be too bad for now."

@(b) Jungkook "That actually sounds like it's pretty easy to understand. I tend to overthink a lot though, so you might have to reign me in." He said, voice getting quieter towards the end. Jimin was a little disappointed when they couldn't go straight into their coffee date, but he didn't let it show too much, nothing but a soft smile adorning his features. "I look forward to seeing you too, don't be too long now~" he said, waving him off.
-
The days went on, and Jimin could do nothing but move. He was anxious, waiting for Jungkook to come back. He just went ahead and changed the decor of the place, taking down all the pumpkins, and all the little fox ornaments he'd had hanging around. Instead hanging up small ornaments and pine frosted with fake snow. He was so excited to skip everything and get straight to the end of year holidays.

Every time a customer came in, and the door chimed, Jimin nearly fell off his ladder trying to see who it was, not letting his frown get the better of him when it wasn't who he'd been waiting for. By the time the weekend rolled by he'd nearly given up, sighing every time it crossed his mind. Finally though, finally he heard the door chime, and he knew. Jungkook came back. Jimin peeked around the corner of the historical fiction section, a wide smile plastering itself to his face as he laughed quietly, trying to remain hidden.

(p.s please write as much as you like, ily okay and before you say anything, shush. I adore this plot. Bunches and tons. T_T ♥)

@(b) Hoseok Jihoon was so lost in thought he didn't think anything of the man approaching him from afar. In fact he didn't notice he was standing so close until he spoke. Startled, he sat up straight, heart pounding as he looked up at the man before him. He was tall, at least he thinks so, then again everyone is taller than him, and had a kind looking, open face. The type people could easily talk to and someone Jihoon needed in his life right now, even though he has pack members for that he can't seem to bring himself to talk to them. Maybe someone who doesn't know him could offer more than the ones that do. "No. Not at all," he spoke softly, looking down at his phone in his hand. There were ten missed calls. Most from his third noona, a few from his other two noonas, and lo-and-behold his deadbeat, appa called him too. "," he muttered as he turned his phone off at the same time another call from his noona came in. He looked back up at the man and sunk back into the couch, vulnerable. "Just family problems," he said with a sad smile on his face.

@(o) Woozi Hoseok lay his head against a shelf not really looking at the books, too many thoughts swirling around in his head. Earlier today his older brother sent him a link to a news article in which his father states in a press conference that Hoseok is "currently studying overseas and will come back promptly". His proffessors and so called friends agreeing with this statement, no doubt having been bought with money. It seems that his family, most of all his father, still have yet to accept the fact that he is no longer under their control. Well too bad for them, Hoseok decided the day he became an adult that he would drop the suffocating chains that were his responsibilites and strangers heavy expectations that held him down for so long. It didn't affect him in the slightest, leaving behind everything he knew, at least that's how he wished he felt. In reality the pleading phone calls from his mother, the cruel demanding ones from his father, and the one line texts from his siblings affected him deeply. The toxic enviroment trying to worm its way into his life once again. He sighed still deep in thought when a phone suddenly went off shattering his mini bubble of self-pity. At first he ignored it but the more it rang the more bothered he became untill he could no longer stand it, his eyes scanning the bookstore finding the culprit fairly easy. It was a boy that looked as if he wanted to disappear, guess Hoseok wasn't the only one having problems today. Curious, he made his way towards him. He was after all known as the boy who could cheer anyone up-okay maybe he was the only one that thought it but it didn't make it less true. "Hey, you okay?"

@(b) Hoseok /Jihoonie we need your help. Appa's debt is high again, so we need you to send us some money/

/Sorry to ask this of you again, but you know how it is/

/You haven't responded. Please we need your help/

/Jihoonie?/

/Jihoonie?!/

/YAH! LEE JIHOON! DON'T IGNORE ME!/

For days his sisters have been pestering him about there father again. And again he couldn't bring himself to respond or change his number (even though he says he will). When he left home he expected this to stop happening, but he was dead wrong. It seems to only get worse and worse the longer he stays away. 'Brng, brng' 'Brrrrrrnnnnnnnggggggg' now his sister, the third oldest, his calling him, but like the text he can't bring himself to answer. So it keeps ringing and ringing and ringing, until she hangs up and tries again. The people around him in the bookstore gave him pointed looks as though they're wondering if he can hear it ringing at all. He ignores these looks and sets his phone to silent, before leaning back ion the couch and rubbing the bridge of his nose. He came for some peace and quiet to think about his thoughts and get away from his pack members possessive, questioning, worrying, and pitying stares. But with the way his sister his blowing up his phone seems like he can't get any peace at all. It's times like these when he wonders if there was a point to stealing away in the middle of the night a year ago if it was going to amount to the same old same old. Sometimes he hates his life.

(a) taehyung 8 years ago
@(o) Tao Taehyung gladly followed the omega around the store, occasionally picking up a couple more books before heading to the counter. He was surprised when the other offered to pay, but the alpha took it as an opportunity to make it up to Zitao. "That sounds wonderful, Zitao," he said, nodding. "And thank you for buying the books. I'll be sure to return the favour sometime."

@(o) Tao "I feel safe then," he chuckled. "It's too bad you had to split up from the rest of your group. Also, I'm not a picky eater. So why don't you make whatever you feel more confident making and I'll eat it?" Taehyung gave Zitao a genuine smile, hoping the omega would agree to his suggestion.

(a) taehyung 8 years ago
@(o) Tao "And what is so interesting about wushu? Do you practice it?" Taehyung asked, turning so he was facing the omega. His eyes studied the male. He seemed fit, so perhaps he did practice wushu. If he did, it would be pretty impressive.
(o) tao 8 years ago
@(a) Taehyung (Sorry I thought I sent it)

"I am okay with romance" he said to the other and smiled at him happily and took a deep breath for a moment and looked at him happily. Looking at teh disconted books he saw danganronpa and grabbed it and looked at him again "Ah its a cook book...wushu is hard to find" he said to him

(a) taehyung 8 years ago
@(o) Tao "Ah I see," Taehyung mused, allowing the omega to lead him along. "Romance, hm? I'm not a huge romantic." Taking a moment to look over the rows of discounted books, Taehyung found the other more interesting at the moment. His gaze turned to the omega who was still clutching his book tightly. "What do you have there? Is it one of your cooking books? Or.. what did you call it... wushu?"
(o) tao 8 years ago
@(a) Taehyung The young omega looked at him and nodded even more "w-well I normally like t-to read fiction, wushu books and cooking" he said to the other and took th eother hand taking him to the back section "This area has discounted books abd romnacce " he said to him and smiled at him slightly and took a deep breath for a moment

@(b) Jungkook "Then how about sometime soon you read me your favorite poem, and tell me what it means. In return, I'll explain to you a portion of my favorite sci-fi universe. I'll even buy you coffee. Because a good discussion is hard to come by these days." he said, breathing after his monologue. "Jungkook? That's a nice name.." he murmured it a few more times under his breath, getting a feel for it. "So is it set? Are you up for coffee and a chat? If not that's totally fine, I mean it's sudden and all.."
