The alarm clock rings and Hoseok groans, reaching for the snooze button; only to end up rolling off his bed. "Thanks Isaac Newton." He says with a scoff. "And your law of gravity bullshit." He adds, sitting up, finally turning his alarm clock off and throwing the comforter on his bed. For a student majoring in Physics, you'd expect Hoseok to be more aware of and, maybe, put his education to use and calculate his actions more carefully - but that probably doesn't count when he has to wake up at 5 in the morning for a stupid 7 am make-up class. He makes himself a cup of tea and gets ready for school.
He yawns as he walks, earphones in and obviously still not in the mood to be up so early in the morning but once he arrives (early) to an almost empty class - save for a student dilligently rewriting notes on his desk - his mood brightens even by just a fraction and he takes this opportunity to nap.
Not even 20 minutes into his nap, he is already awakened by the sound of metal sliding against the tiles and he raises his head with a grimace, looking at the person beside him who places a cup of coffee, and a can of Monster energy drink on his desk. 'The hell is this guy up to?' Hoseok's disgust and anger fade away, and turn into curiosity as he sits up, an eyebrow quirked as he observes the other male.
Despite taking his seat earlier like a normal human being, he looks as dead as a zombie. Hoseok concludes that the dude's obviously had one hell of a late night. Said dude then carefully removes the lid off of his cup of coffee, and as Hoseok watches as the steam rises, the male cracks open the can of Monster. To Hoseok's shock, he pours the energy drink into his coffe - ALL of it - and says, "I'm going to die." Before downing the whole thing like a shot of tequila. "Jesus Christ!" Hoseok jerks up as he exclaims, dumdfounded and confused. What the hell had he just witnessed? In all of his life, he has never witnessed something as bizarre (yet funny) as this and he spends almost all of his time in class observing the other male and wondering just what the hell was going on.
"A-are you okay?" he asks the male beside him, as the teacher goes on and on about thermodynamics. The other male looks at him, his eyes quite bright with a little life now, and nods. "Yeah, bro totally!" He says with a little too much energy. "Have we met before? I'm Jaehyung by the way." He adds, with a goofy grin, and offers a hand which Hoseok shakes. "Hoseok." He replies with an awkward grin, trying to catch up with Jaehyung's speed. "Are you sure?" Hoseok presses and Jaehyung only laughs, "Totally bro! I'm like soooooooo fucking pumped up right now!" He says, fist pumping the air. 'Oooookay. He's obviously not okay.' Hoseok thinks as he just awkwardly laughs along. "I had a totally awesome gig last night! I should invite you some time. I'm in a band, you know? And we're called DAY6." He says with the same cheery, hyper tone and speed that Hoseok can only nod to, but he decides to play along. "Really, bro?! That's totally fucking rad! When's your next gig?" And Jaehyung only laughs, handing him a flyer with details of their gig. What did Hoseok get himself into now? Where did he even get the flyer from? "See you then mate!" Jaehyung grins.
========
The weekend approaches and Hoseok has no idea why he's walking to Major Capo on a cold Saturday night. He's never talked to Jaehyung despite seeing him in almost all of his classes and - let's be honest here - being out at 10 pm wasn't his thing, especially since he's majoring Physics - FUCKING PHYSICS - but it's the weekend and the start of winter break so maybe that's why he's out. Hoseok just doesn't want to admit that despite being a weird guy, Jaehyung had something interesting about him.
He gets there at 9.30 and sees Jaehyung and his bandmates on stage, setting up and eventually doing a sound check. He walks to the bar and decides to buy himself a drink before sitting somewhere in the middle; not too close but not too far from the stage either. Soon enough they introduce themselves and start playing. Jaehyung has yet to notice him.
As soon as their set was done, the band packs up and takes their seats with the audience, Jaehyung just so happens to pass by Hoseok and notices him. "Hey! Hoseok, right? You came! Thanks for coming man. I hope you liked the music." He says with a smile, gesturing his band mates to go ahead as well, and Hoseok smiles and nods. "I did." He cracks an awkward smile. Jaehyung's energy is different this time, and he's unsure how to respond. Is this real?
"Good job." He adds and Jaehyung feels proud, "Thanks. I actually didn't expect you to come since we only met once." He says with a laugh, remembering how they met. "Anyways, wanna join us? We're gonna eat, drink and listen to the other bands." Hoseok takes a few seconds to consider his offer but nonetheless he accepts and Jaehyung grins wide, "Awesome!" he says, walking Hoseok to their table and introducing him to his band mates.
Turns out, going to Major Capo to watch gigs and looking like a loner turned out pretty well. He's unsure whether he and Jaehyung would get to maintain their friendship, though but he's hopeful.
As the night ends, and they shuffle out of the bar, Jaehyung and his band mates load their equipment in their car and Hoseok starts making his way back home. "Hoseok!" Jaehyung exclaims, running up to Hoseok. Hoseok turns and faces Jaehyung. "Thanks for watching our gig again." Jaehyung says, lightly patting Hoseok's back. "Take care, man! Till next time."
