J-Hope Fanfic | To you again, - Forty-five. Absolutely jealous.

It was Yeoju who had returned to the lounge with Seokjin and Namjoon to wait for Hoseok, after Guhyeon had left first due to his next schedule.

J-Hope entered the lounge where laughter never ceased thanks to Seokjin.

제이홉

What's so funny?

신여주

Ah! Did the conversation... end well?

J-Hope smiled and nodded with a slightly tired expression at the female lead as she stood up and asked cautiously.

Since Seokjin was there, I didn't ask for more details and just watched, so J-Hope smiled once more as if to say it was okay.

제이홉

You know we're meeting later, right?

We were supposed to have a homecoming party today.

신여주

Why didn't you tell me in advance that you were coming to see my dad?

제이홉

They asked me to keep it a secret. I can't exactly get a negative score again.

Namjoon, glancing at the atmosphere between the two, glanced at Seokjin and stepped between J-Hope and Yeoju.

김남준

Let's go and rest for a while.

제이홉

I guess I should. I'm tired. What about you, Yeoju? Do you want to come with me now?

김남준

No. There are too many eyes watching.

신여주

Yes. I have to stop by the office too... Go ahead and get some sleep. Yoongi said he'll come pick me up.

김석진(김비서)

Where are you meeting Yoon-gi? I'll take you.

J-Hope looked at Seokjin, who was speaking informally so naturally. It seemed like he made the promise for Min Yoongi to come pick him up just as naturally.

신여주

Ah. He said he’d come to my house... maybe I should have told him to come to the office...

김석진(김비서)

I can just go in my car.

신여주

Do you provide a driver too?

J-Hope's expression stiffened a little more at the friendly female lead's informal speech.

김석진(김비서)

When did we ever not do it?

J-Hope let out a hollow laugh at the sight of the two people smiling at each other.

제이홉

You're a secretary, so do you speak informally to the chief?

김석진(김비서)

Ah, I always use polite language in formal settings.

제이홉

In private settings.

신여주

Ah... um, they said they hit it off and hung out with each other back when they were ARMYs. So, naturally, things turned out that way with me too.

제이홉

Ms. Shin Yeo-ju isn't an Ami, you know.

김남준

Hopa, Hopa.

Namjoon hurriedly stopped J-Hope, who was reacting sharply.

Seokjin laughed while Yeoju was momentarily flustered.

김석진(김비서)

You're jealous. Then you can just be friends with me too.

제이홉

yes?

김석진(김비서)

The reason we speak informally is that even though I'm the secretary, I'm older than Yeoju. Yeoju pretended to be Ami to me, and Ami scouted me personally. Yeoju also felt bad for me and asked me to let her be comfortable around me. So, one way or another, that's how it all turned out. If you want, we can be friends. With me.

제이홉

....Ha, never mind.

김석진(김비서)

Namjoon calls me hyung. Then you too? Deal?

Yeoju awkwardly pulled Seokjin away, who was persistently pushing on her regardless of J-Hope's crookedness.

신여주

I'll be going now. It must be complicated for you, so just hurry home and rest. See you later, Namjoon.

As I looked at Namjoon, signaling him to quickly take J-Hope out, Namjoon nodded and put his arm around J-Hope's shoulder.

김남준

Yeah, hey. I'm tired from driving so much, too. Let's go home and rest!

J-Hope and Yeoju's eyes met as he was reluctantly dragged away.

Even after seeing the female lead wave her hand slightly, J-Hope just walks out with a sullen face.

Seokjin burst out laughing from behind Yeoju, who was raising her hand and fiddling with her hair after awkwardly waving it.

김석진(김비서)

You're a really honest person, J-Hope.

신여주

Is that so?

김석진(김비서)

Ah. Or maybe not. Am I not being honest...?

When Yeoju looked up at Seokjin, he simply smiled quietly as if he knew everything.

It is J-Hope returning to the car, burying himself deeply, and letting out a long sigh.

Looking back at Hobi like that, Namjoon asked worriedly.

김남준

Are you okay? I heard you met your biological father.

제이홉

......huh.

김남준

I'm going home for now.

After that, neither Namjoon nor J-Hope said anything else.

J-Hope, who had been closing his eyes for a moment, opened them and took in the scenery outside as it quickly flashed by.

제이홉

Namjoon.

김남준

huh.

제이홉

We have a lot of money, don't we?

김남준

There are a lot. Why?

제이홉

......No. I might suggest using that money later.

Namjoon laughed softly at J-Hope's words.

김남준

Please write it. There are so many zeros that it looks like it's about to spill out of my account.

제이홉

You're exaggerating.

As J-Hope smiled slightly, Namjoon also glanced at him and smiled.

김남준

It's your money. You can spend it however you want, so you don't need to ask for permission.

제이홉

.....Thanks, friend.

J-Hope, who had been leaning back comfortably, suddenly straightened his back and muttered to himself.

제이홉

Wait, but who is that secretary?

김남준

Seokjin hyung?

제이홉

What's going on between the two of you? Why are you speaking informally?!

김남준

Hobi, please be mindful of the time and place when you're jealous. I'm seriously going to die of fear.

제이홉

When did you two get so close? You call me 'hyung' all the time.

김남준

That guy is really unique. He's funny. I think we'll become best friends.

J-Hope turned to look at him at Namjoon's words.

제이홉

Hey, Namjoon.

J-Hope's expression as he called out to Namjoon was quite solemn.

제이홉

I'm your best friend. Don't cheat on me.

Thanks to Seokjin giving her a ride home after work, Yeoju arrived comfortably and leisurely. After fixing her makeup and changing into comfortable clothes, she left the house again.

Yoon-gi, who had arrived first and was leaning against the car waiting, smiled happily when his eyes met Yeo-ju's.

민윤기

It feels like it's been a while.

신여주

Really. I was overwhelmed with work.

Yoon-gi smiled as he opened the car door for the female lead, who was approaching him whining and acting spoiled.

민윤기

I need to relieve all my stress today.

The female lead smiled at his unique gentleness and got into the car.

Suddenly, Yoon-gi's face darted close to the female lead.

신여주

Oh... what's wrong...?

Yoon-gi spreads his two arms to the sides as if to hold Yeoju in his embrace, facing her.

민윤기

great?

신여주

What...?

민윤기

Because Hobi saw it. Because Hobi came.

신여주

........

Yoon-gi, who had been watching Yeoju for a moment while she just rolled her eyes in silence, smirked, pulled the seatbelt to fasten it, and slipped away from her.
