[EDIT] Charmolypi || Seungjin

twenty four

Seungmin approached Jeongin and Hyunjin who were watching a horror movie on the large couch.

The others were drinking and talking, and he was not quite fond of that.

"Hi, mind if I join?"

"Of course not. Come join us!" Jeongin immediately smiled at the older and made him sit with them.

Seungmin then hesitated before he asked. "Can we talk about my past? Well, you guys seem to know me before the accident."

Hyunjin nodded. It's not like he's paying attention to the movie when Seungmin sat with them anyway.

"Sure hyung. Where do you want to start?" Jeongin asked.

"How about... The first time we met?"

"Okay I'll start first."

Hyunjin and Seungmin looked at the younger expectantly.

"So we met at a child care centre, I was 8 and you were 9. At first I found you quite scary because you keep poking at your plushie's eyes. Well, that was until you approached me to comfort me when I was crying from loud thunder."

"Woah we've known each other for years already. Sorry that I didn't remember you now..."

Jeongin put his hand on Seungmin's shoulder while smiling at him.

"It's okay, hyung. At least you're trying to remember us. Hyunjin hyung, your turn."

"M-me? Oh okay."

Hyunjin licked his lips as his throat started to feel dry.

"Well we bumped onto each other at
the hallway and we started getting close after that."

"How about the relationship that you
once mentioned about?"

Hyunjin choked on his saliva and stood up abruptly.

"That's.. that's nothing. Well, I'mma head out for a while. Just continue without me, okay?"

The blond scurried to the balcony before  sighing deeply. He looked up to the peaceful dark sky, smiling sadly.

"Hard time?"

Hyunjin flinched when he heard a raspy yet not so deep voice. Turned to his back, he found a quite short male, sucking on a lollipop.

"Changbin?"

"Use hyung. I know you're younger than me. Now why are you here and not inside?"

"It's complicated, hyung. But why are you here too? I didn't see you throughout the party." Hyunjin asked the older as they leaned on the balcony.

"I was writing some lyrics at my room."

"You live here?"

Changbin nodded. "Just moved in two weeks ago. Trust me, nights here are very wild and loud."

Hyunjin chuckled. "Same as living with Minho and Jisung. They never really know what get a room means. My poor eyes got violated for how many times already."

They shared some laughter before sighing and glanced back at the dark sky.

"Tonight is a full moon. It's very pretty..."
Hyunjin mumbled slowly.

"You're prettier."

"What?"

Changbin chuckled a bit before shrugging and started walking back to the inside.

"Hyunjin."

"Yes?"

"If you have any problems, don't hesitate to talk about it to me. Keeping them to yourself will only break you more."

The taller boy smiled warmly before nodded.

"I will. Thanks, Changbin hyung."

In the meantime, Seungmin and Jeongin just exchanged glances, both worried and slightly confused.

"Did I say something wrong? He looked kind of sad." Seungmin asked, feeling a bit guilty when Hyunjin left just like that,

Jeongin shook his head.

"No hyung, it's okay. Hyunjin hyung is still quite not moving on after you left to the US since you were his boyfriend..."

Seungmin's eyes widen.

"I'm his... what?"

Well, oops.
