hey hey~ bartender!hoseok + "I'll walk you home" please
the sound of music blaring against your eardrums was deafening, but you didn’t mind because it helped drowned out the thoughts swirling in your head. the dim lights of the night club hid your flushed cheeks and tiny little tear stains and yet people could still tell that you were a damsel in distress. maybe it was the way you carried yourself throughout the whole night; very glum looking. or maybe it was because you were talking to the bartender about your boy troubles with a few slurred words coming out of your mouth every other minute or so. sure you weren’t in the right mind but you didn’t care. it was the weekend and it wasn’t like you’d come back to the night club; which is what you believed but you basically had lied to yourself.
the next few weekend nights you came back to the mentioned night club. you didn’t know why you’d come back and it confused you. just why? and that’s when you realized that it was because there was one person who’d listen; aka the cute bartender whose name was Hoseok. and god, he was such a great person. it was like every time you entered the room, he was the only one shining and maybe it was because of his smile or it was his just how he carried himself. you were attracted to his light like a bug; never wanting it to diminish because if it did, you’d be lost in the darkness that seemed to always be around.
“hello y/n,” his tone light and melodious to your ears as if his voice was a tune that was stuck in your head. “what’s the problem this time?” a question he’d frequently ask with a tilt of his head as a grin accompanied the action.
“it’s my ex,” you deadpanned at him with a bitter chuckle that had left your lips. the memories of what had just happened not too long ago made you shudder. “he just won’t leave me alone and it seems to him that—”
“y/n!” a voice all to familiar interrupted you as you turned around only to be faced by the mentioned ex. his legs helped him effortlessly glide through past the dancers on the floor as he stood in front of you breathless.
“m-minjae, what’re you doing here? i told you to leave me alone,” you stuttered out his name in fear as you didn’t know what he would do. “i don’t ever want to see you again, you jerk!” your anger had gotten to you as you began to poke his chest with your index finger and emphasized each word that had left your mouth, “you. need. to. get. the. hell. away. you. fucking. cheater.”
and this was where he grabbed your wrist and forcefully pulled you towards the exit. “ow, minjae, it hurts!” you screamed in pain as he dragged you out of the night club until another hand had grasped your other wrist and pulled you away from your ex.
“you should leave the little lady alone,” another voice way too familiar and this was when you looked up to see hoseok. “i’ll be calling the cops right now, you’re also disturbing my business—”
“alright! i’ll leave,” minjae had announced in annoyance and as he walked the opposite way he stood in place and looked back at you, “there will be a next time, y/n.” and the way he said it gave you shudders while you gripped onto hoseok.
“you okay?” and all you could do was nod as you tried to not let the tears fall.
“no,” you admitted in a cry as the tears began to fall. “i was so scared, hoseok. no guy has ever treated me that way and to have it be someone who was close is even scarier.”
“no guy should ever treat you like that,” hoseok was right and you knew it. “it’s not safe to go home alone. i’ll walk you home. okay?”
another nod to his question because you couldn’t form words to come out of your mouth because of the shock. hoseok was your savior and you didn’t know how you would be able to thank him for that night.
following hoseok to your doorstep as your heels clicked until you abruptly stopped right in front of him. “thank you, hoseok.” was all that could come out as you quickly stood on your tiptoes to kiss him on the cheek as a reward. you quickly opened the door and shut it tightly leaving a perplexed hoseok who held a hand up to the cheek you had pecked, a small blush adorned his cheeks as he quickly walked away.
let’s just say that he couldn’t wait till your next visit.
