14 – JH focus

Everyone in this school must have been completely blind. Hoseok deemed it absolutely impossible that everyone was so oblivious to what was going on.

The worst were Taehyung and Jungkook. They were crushing on each other so much it hurt. Long periods of eye contact and severe blushing were enough to tell Hoseok that. And yet, neither seemed to realise it. Even Jimin was ignorant to Jungkook's side of it and Hoseok really did not understand why.

Jimin had told him that he had a crush on Min Yoongi, which was, admittedly, a surprise. Hoseok gave kudos to the boy for managing it so well around him, but now he knew, Hoseok saw it clearly. What Jimin didn't know was that Yoongi liked him back. Yoongi hadn't told Hoseok this, but it seemed pretty obvious: the abrupt changes of the subject around him, the almost painful aversion of eye contact, the lack of interest he had in any part of Hoseok's life aside from dance. It was a little bit funny and a little bit sad at the same time.

Hoseok had always been a bit of a matchmaker. He saw relationships and connections that everyone else seemed to ignore. Soulmates, life partners and kindred spirits were all obvious bullshit, but Hoseok still believed that love came through. He was certain that he had a gift for seeing the love and the sparkles in people. It definitely wasn't hard to find it in himself.

As he walked through the school, he liked to analyse all the relationships he saw: how that new couple in the first grade were so not going to last more than a month; the unnoticed love triangle where two siblings had a crush on the same boy; how Lee Seohyun didn't just like Min Yoongi, she loved him; how Kim Namjoon had been trying to get Kim Seokjin's attention for the last year and a half; how Kim Seokjin had been trying to get Kim Namjoon's attention for the last year and a half (Hoseok liked that one, he thought it was cute).

Hoseok saw all of this and was a little bit proud of himself. He did everything he could to push these people together (or apart, in some cases) but tried never to interfere directly. But when he saw how totally infatuated Jungkook and Taehyung were for each other after their interaction on the track, he sighed and decided that he was going to have to push a little harder than he thought.
