The idea of these love hotels that Jungkook keeps mentioning is so intriguing to Hoseok. He knows what they're typical for, of course; the naming is self-explanatory. But he wonders if young people rent those rooms all the time too, because they're more inexpensive. And the theming sounds like it could be fun, even if you weren't using the room for "love."

Though he suspects that Yoongi and Jungkook will probably use their hotel room in Busan for that anyway. It makes him smile; he's a romantic at heart, and even though his own chance and romance is still up in the air, the idea of his friends getting to be close and intimate and happy warms his heart. He can't help thinking that maybe someday he'll get to experience that too. He really can't wait.

"You guys are so cute," Hoseok says, the breeze off the water cooling his flushed cheeks. "I'm a little jealous," he adds with a grin. "But maybe, you know. Maybe soon I'll have someone I can go on a trip like that with."

He bites his lip. He really wants to tell Jungkook, wants to tell someone. It's too early, he knows, nothing is certain yet. He just feels really hopeful now, that he and Jimin can find something together.

"What kind of a hotel are you guys going to stay in?" he asks, tucking his knees up, wrapping his arms around his shins.
