I CANT STOP WRITING SOONHOON TT anyway thank u to writer besties for beta-ing my plot LOL yall da best

•••

jihoon knows 1am is not his best time. especially when he's awake, drunk and outside of his home. because now the emotional part of his brain takes over and he wants to latch onto anyone who will take him in. no matter the cost.

his previous almost-relationship tore a hole through his fragile heart and now all he searches for is someone to fill it back up. he knows he wants someone permanently yet his drunken self just wants anyone.

after many pushes from many other people, he stumbles onto another man. "take me home, please." he says, albeit a bit slurred. the man raises an eyebrow, eyes jihoon's small frame up and down and smirks. "okay." jihoon almost squeals with glee, "thank you! i've been waiting forever for this."

the man then guided jihoon out of the area and into a sleek, dark grey car. "what's your name?" the man asks. "lee jihoon. and you; beautiful stranger?" the man laughs lightly and the sound swirls around in jihoon's head. it fills him with euphoria and he sobers up a little purely from it.

"kwon soonyoung. let's have a good night, hm?"

jihoon pays no mind to the comment, "mm... kwon soonyoung. mm..." he seems to mull the name over in his head, "i like it," he turns to the other man, "i like you. i love you. do you love me?"

soonyoung chuckles, "sure, lee jihoon."

oh but it wouldn't be the only time jihoon says he loves the man named kwon soonyoung. after a long night filled with tears and the remnants of a broken heart mixed with cries of pleasure and ecstasy, jihoon lies half-asleep on kwon soonyoung's silken sheets.

"sober up, get changed, and go."

jihoon feels his heart speed up. "why?" he shakily asks.

"because," the other man says. "i don't want you here anymore."

and it hurts jihoon to his core.

"can i... can i just have your number at least?"

the man seems to ponder jihoon's words as he scans the smaller boy's face. "only because you're cute."

jihoon wants to jump for joy. maybe he could have a chance with this beautiful stranger.

the next few days prove jihoon wrong. very wrong. four days have gone by with no return text from kwon soonyoung. jihoon wants to cry all of a sudden.

it's 1am again. like the time four days before when jihoon met this beautifully alluring stranger. he still remembers how he dressed; all in black, a full suit without an undershirt, the v-cut of the outer jacket drawing a beautiful line on the smooth expanse of this man's chest. jihoon remembers meeting it face first before he registered the beautiful face only slightly upwards. he remembers his slicked comb-over, hair also as black as his outfit, as if he was supposed to be a shadow in that club, never to be seen or spotted. but jihoon in his drunken stupor managed to wobble around and find this stranger.

jihoon looks out over his balcony to see an occasional car speed by the darkened buildings. phone clutched in his hand, jihoon can't help but get phantom buzzes in his hand expecting the text from the stranger himself.

i miss you. i want to meet again.

says the last message he sent.
