the five of them stood still, panting as the music came to a stop and they stood in their final positions. the room erupted in applause, the rest of their class thoroughly enjoying the dance, including their teacher, who congratulated them and they moved to sit down with the rest of the class.

it had been a full week, and the five students were glad that the project was over, especially hyunjin. he headed back to his dorm soon after, not wanting to have to face minho or felix. his head had been spinning the past few weeks and he hadn't slept a wink, haunted by terrible old memories of his childhood and teenage years.

he thought he had left it all in the past.

hyunjin threw his bag down by his bed, huffing as he slipped his shoes off and headed straight into the bathroom. he needed to relax and get his mind off things; this was the only way he knew how. it had been so long since he had resorted to this, but the thumping voice in his head was enough to drive him insane.

he pulled the small packet out of his pocket, the white powder tipping to one side as he held it by the opposite corner. hyunjin hesitated for a moment, staring at it. was he really gonna go through with this? he knew as soon as he did, there was no going back; he had learnt that last time, and he did so well to get over it.

he heard the door to his dorm open, signalling that jeongin was back, and quickly put the packet back in his pocket. he turned on the shower faucet, letting the water just run down the drain as he stood over the sink, staring at himself in the mirror.

jeongin softly knocked on the door. "hyunjin? you in there?" he asked, but he didn't get a reply. worriedly, he looked around the room, spotting hyunjin's shoes and bag next to his bag, heaving a sigh of relief. he turned back to the door to try again. "hyun, lets go to a party tonight, yeah? you can get your mind off of him," he offered, hoping that he would get an answer this time.

hyunjin gulped looking up to the door. "o-okay," he called out, stuttering a little. "let me shower first." he then took off his clothes and got into the shower, just allowing the water to run through his hair and down his body, taking deep breaths. he needed to regain himself before he could face jeongin, for he feared that he would break down in front of the younger male, and that was the last thing he wanted.

the two boys arrived at the party, the loud blaring music hitting their ears way before they actually went inside. the place filled with people, drinking, dancing, snogging, you name it. jeongin pulled hyunjin through the house to where the drinks were and got them both a cup of punch.

"here," jeongin said, handing the cup to hyunjin, who accepted it with a small smile. to be honest, he did not want to be here, he just didn't want jeongin to start worrying and getting on his case. he took a sip from the drink, just watching as jeongin down the whole thing with a shout. "woah! okay, lets go!" the younger than dragged hyunjin through the crowds of people, urging him to dance.

in that moment, hyunjin forgot about everything; his past and his present. he forgot about his family, he forgot about minho, about felix. everything that had got him down these past few weeks just flew out of the window and let him be for once. he felt like he didn't need the drugs still sitting in his pocket, he didn't need a guy in his life, and he sure as hell didn't need his good for nothing parents.

that was until he saw the last person he ever wanted to see.
