[Day 286]
                          
Hoseok shakes himself awake from his short nap. The theater is now empty with all the lights turned off. Hoseok looks down at his watch and frowns at the time, wow time really does go by fast. 
                          
A sigh leaves his lips and he gathers himself up, nodding at the teenager who cleans up the place (he's actually sitting down on the seats and playing with his phone) and walking out of the room.
                          
"Have a good day Mr. Jung." The young girl at the counter calls out and Hoseok waves at her without looking back. 
                          
Outside it's drizzling and the people walking around Seoul rush towards their homes or the shops to run away from the rain that is yet to come.
                          
But, Hoseok doesn't run to his home, instead he walks at a slow pace. Enjoying the soft droplets that pitter and patter against the concrete sidewalk and he stops in front of Yoongi's apartment, looking into the last window on the left side of the building.
                          
A curtain hides what Hoseok has memorized in his mind. He walks to the buzzer at the door, his thumb brushing over the cool metal buttons, but he stops himself. Hoseok doesn't want to risk that and so he turns and walks away without looking back.
                          
He misses Yoongi moving aside the curtain and with wide eyes he runs out of his apartment, down the flight of stairs, and out into the now pouring rain outside. 
                          
Yoongi shouts at his retreating back, "Hoseok! Hobi! Hoseok!" But, not once does Hoseok turn and Yoongi lets out a soft whimper, walking back into his building.
                          
"Was someone calling me?"
