Chapter Text
Hoseok would lie if he said that he didn't always go to this one gas station just to see this handsome and almost model-like worker.
Actually he wasn't a shy person but every time he saw this guy he couldn't breathe and just did weird things, like ask him straight for his number.
It was the most awkward thing he did in his whole life but somehow they still ended up getting to know each other.
His Name was Chae Hyungwon and he was a year younger than Hoseok. It was like a dream to know such a handsome person and since then the brown haired guy visited the gas station everyday.
He noticed that Hyungwon had quite a 4D personality: he was quiet, calm and awkward but really friendly around strangers; but on the other hand he could also be blunt, emotionless and straight with a sharp tongue.
Hoseok couldn't explain but there was also a really cute side on him and it was what made him even more attractive.
At first sight he seemed to be really unapproachable but after all he easily embraced everyone into his heart.
Then, one day when Hoseok talked to Hyungwon while he was working, he told him a bit about the children in his kindergarten and even though the other reacted a bit cold, Hoseok was sure he listened carefully.
Most of the time Hyungwon let others talk as he wasn't a talkative person, but the older one was sure that it's just one part of his personality and that he was full of surprises.
His assumptions were confirmed after he bought a soda, he just bought the same thing every day because he was to lazy to look at the other products since he was just here for Hyungwon, whose coworker already called him soda boy, and wanted to drink it after he rode away with his motorbike.
But when Hoseok drank, he noticed an awful black handwriting on the other side of the bottle.
He spat out his whole drink on his clothes after he noticed whose awful handwriting this was.
“No way!!”, he screamed and didn't care about the gazes of the people around him, he turned the bottle and saw a phone number, written with a black pen, on the plastic.
Hoseok rushed home to change his clothes and then stared at the number, because he doubted that it was real, maybe it was just one of Hyungwon's pranks.
He sighed and placed the bottle aside.
“I need some fresh air, my heart is pounding way too hard.”
At 1 am he finally decided to save the number since he wasn't tired enough to sleep and became curious after all.
After he saved it he looked through Kakao Talk if he would find Hyungwon. And it really was him.
Hoseok looked at his profile picture and recognized the younger one immediately, it was a selca with another person whose hair was blonde, too, but more of a light blonde and his slightly curly hair was down while Hyungwon's hair had a stronger blonde tone and were styled up.
Hoseok guessed the guy next to him was one of his friends, or rather he hoped it was just a friend.
Then he finally decided to write him a message and got an immediate respond.
His heart has begun to pound again.
He wrote the whole night long with Hyungwon and almost didn't want to stop to go to sleep. He imagined how it would be if Hyungwon was here lying beside him on the bed.
And that was the moment Hoseok realized he fell hard for this guy from the gas station.
~
[5:51 am ] Hyungwon: I think I fell in love.
[5:51 am ] Hyungwon: But I'm not sure, this has never happened to me.
[5:52 am ] Hyunwoo: ….is it a man or a woman?
[5:53 am ] Hyungwon: ….......Man
[5:53 am ] Hyunwoo: So u really r gay.
[5:53 am ] Hyungwon: …
[5:54 am ] Hyungwon: Don't tell this to anyone especially not Minhyuk.
Hyunwoo then wanted Hyungwon to explain the situation and in what way he thought about Hoseok. W
When he told him everything Hyunwoo confirmed that this really sounds like being in love with someone but it also could be just enthusiasm and the blonde man should observe how he reacted to different things.
After this Hyungwon's fear of the horror movie was gone but he had another burden now that stopped him from sleeping.
He looked trough his phone and clicked on Hoseok's profile picture, he had a collage where he showed the peace-sign and smirked, in the second picture he stuck out his tongue, his hair was messy and he wore a white hoodie.
“I think... He's really hot...”, Hyungwon blushed when he heard these words from himself.

When Hyungwon finally woke up it was already 4 pm and he was quite annoyed that he overslept more than half of the day, but what did he expect when he fell asleep at 7 am.
While he was making breakfast Hyungwon received a good morning message from Hoseok, smiled immediately and texted him back, it's seems like his stomach was full of butterflies.
After Hyungwon ate his breakfast, he didn't know what he should do and just lied around. Actually, he should clean his apartment but the blonde man was too lazy and as long as Kihyun didn't see this mess it was okay.
For a second he thought about asking Hoseok if they should do something together but then Hyungwon felt unsure, what if he just talked nonsense and Hoseok would be annoyed?
He isn't even sure if Hoseok felt the same and would they really be able to talk normally?
Most of the time Hyungwon was working and he just let Hoseok talk since he wasn't that talkative around new people or strangers.
But actually he can be really loud sometimes with someone he's close to.
What if Hoseok didn't like this side of him?
After this he was to scared to ask.
Even though Minhyuk almost yammered Hyungwon's ears off because of his hangover and how bad of a headache he had, the younger one decided to visit them.
When he entered the apartment he saw Minhyuk clutching on Hyunwoo's back and whimper, “Pleeeease hyung, hurry up with the tea~”
He and Jooheon always made jokes that Hyunwoo is living with two women instead of two men.
One of them is his hyperactive and clingy little girlfriend and the other one his nagging and bitchy wife.
Hyungwon smiled, amused, and greeted the two.
After Minhyuk finally got his medicine for his headache and his tea they sat down and talked a bit, played games and ate something, Kihyun joined them later.
“Ah by the way Hyungwon, someone on Tinder messaged you! Do you want to see it?”, Minhyuk asked him, excited,
“It's not necessary anymore, isn't it?”, Hyunwoo blurted out before Hyungwon even had an opportunity to answer.
“What do you mean it's not necessary?” Minhyuk seems to be confused,
“Ahh N-nothing Minhyuk, nothing, don't worry”, Hyungwon tried to calm down the older one, “Right... hyung?”
He hit Hyunwoo with his elbow as a signal to say something,
“Yes right, forget Minhyuk!”, he finally said, but since Minhyuk only seemed more irritated Hyungwon distracted him by asking about the message he mentioned earlier with a fake curious smile.
But another person seemed to notice what's going on because Hyungwon couldn't escape the death scare of Yoo Kihyun.
„You're hiding something, don't you?“ Kihyun asked after he found an opportunity to talk to Hyungwon alone.
“Let me guess.... you finally found someone but don't want to tell Minhyuk since you know he would be too excited and maybe will ruin the whole thing.”
Hyungwon stared at the mother-like guy, tried to find some words.
He hated that you couldn't hide anything from Kihyun, no matter how good you were at lying he would find out just by looking at your face.
“N-no it's not like that”, he answered, “I guess...”
Actually, Kihyun was right, but it was more like Hyungwon was too proud to admit that he really got interested in someone since he didn't show any interest for this in front of Minhyuk.
Kihyun sighed. “Good luck.”
“What?” Hyungwon was surprised.
“Just take the chance. I think it's a good opportunity to try this on your own. I hope he's a nice guy”, the older one said in a gentle voice and smiled.
He really was like a mother.
“Even though I don't understand how it is even possible that Chae Hyungwon fell in love out of nowhere”, he added
“Thank you..”, the blonde one said puzzled, ignoring the last sentence, “Wait...I didn't say anything about the gender?”
“C'mon dude it's too obvious that you're fucking gay”, Kihyun laughed and before leaving the room he turned around again, “Ah by the way I hope you're informed about save sex and how to use contraception, I'm sure you'll need this soon little virgin.”
Hyungwon just looked shocked when Kihyun left with a big smug smile. He stood there, emotionless, with a red head for two minutes.
“You little shit...”, he finally sweared.

The next days Hyungwon spent his free time laying around or chilling with his friends, unfortunately Hoseok had to organize a project week at his kindergarten so he wasn't able to reply to Hyungwon's messages often.
He notice how he already had begun to miss Hoseok. It was almost a week since they saw each other, Hyungwon wouldn't even bother working again just to see him.
Hyungwon sighed out of frustration after looking at his work plan:
“Next week I have mostly nothing but night shifts..”
That meant maybe he won't even be able to see Hoseok then. He sulked.
“Now I know why I didn't fall in love before...”. Hyungwon's voice sounded sad, “It's so frustrating...”
