A/N: Sorry it took a few days. The next chapter will be the last one and I hope to also publish it either today or tomorrow.

*Six months later*

Date: February 5th

"Still gushing over me I see," Taehyun smiled as he put on makeup.

Kai rolled his eyes. "No. I just think you're handsome is all. Am I not allowed to think my best friend is handsome?"

Taehyun shrugged and jumped when the doorbell rang. "It must be Soobin and Yeonjun."

"Well let's go then." He dramatically left the bathroom and Taehyun rolled his eyes before following him.

Picking up his life once again to move to Seoul wasn't something Taehyun wanted to do. But he wanted to be with his friends. Everyone else betrayed him except for these three people.

Four if you don't count what happened before.

Speaking of Beomgyu, they were still in contact, but the older was traveling the world right now, so he was really busy. Taehyun wasn't really sad about it. They weren't super close anymore. He forgave him for everything he did, but they weren't necessarily best friends again.

And while the other three still hated him, they respected that Taehyun was literally the only person who forgave him.

That part was shocking.

Since today was Taehyun's birthday, they were all going to a club. He's never been to one, much to the disappointment of Soobin who immediately suggested they go to one for Taehyun's birthday.

They just had to drive downtown to get there, and it was when they got out of the car that Taehyun noticed the... provocative clothes that Yeonjun was wearing.

"Hot," he giggled, linking arms with his friend.

"Thank you Lovely. Soobin!" He yelled at his boyfriend who was still standing by his car and doing something on his phone.

"What?"

"Get your ass over here. You too Huening Kai. Sheesh. We wanna do something fun for Taehyun and-"

"Sorry..." Soobin mumbled, stuffing his phone in his pocket.

"It's okay." Taehyun started laughing and went to grab Kai's hand instead. "You gotta bribe the bouncer to let us in."

Soobin nodded and led them through to the front of the line. Taehyun wasn't paying attention when he was dragged inside by the others. He looked around when he got inside though, seeing that there were obviously a lot of people. There was a lot of alcohol too, which was something he wasn't too fond of, but Yeonjun unfortunately wanted him to drink tonight.

He didn't mind the drinking part. He just didn't like the taste of alcohol, but it was fine. He was here to have fun tonight.

"You want whiskey?" Yeonjun asked and Taehyun nodded, already internally gagging at the mention of it.

Yeonjun was okay now. Another emotional night happened where he threw away all his medication in anger, and Soobin promised to replace the medicine and become Yeonjun's serotonin booster.

Taehyun was so jealous of them. But he loved their relationship. It was the perfect balance of love and crude humor that made them the best power couple.

After only a few drinks, Yeonjun and Soobin were already leaving to go makeout somewhere and Taehyun chuckled.

"I'm gonna go try to make a friend. Maybe find a significant other," Kai said, looking around. "Wish me luck?"

Taehyun shook his head. "You don't need luck."

A cute giggle came from Kai and he quickly walked away to go make friends with people. Taehyun stayed at the bar, staring down at the polished countertop as the music rang in his ears. It wasn't that loud though. Honestly, this nightclub wasn't that bad.

There seemed to be no creepy people around and everyone he bumped into was kind.

It was very nice for his first experience in a club.

"Can I get a water?" A deep voice asked from beside him. "I have to drive home... and who is this cutie?"

"Excuse me-" he gasped when he saw who was sitting beside him. "Beomgyu!" He exclaimed, throwing himself into the older boy's arms.

He was different. He had slightly longer black hair and he smelled like rosey perfume.

It was nice.

"What are you doing here?" He asked with a smile, pulling away to drink his margarita that he ordered since he could only take a sip of his whiskey before feeling like he was going to throw up.

"Kai told me you guys were coming here tonight. Thanks," he told the bartender who handed him a glass of water. "Happy birthday Taehyun."

"Thank you." He smiled and looked down, feeling surprisingly very happy that Beomgyu was here. "How was Paris?"

Beomgyu excitedly clapped his hands and pulled out his wallet. "I asked someone to take a picture of me in front of the Eiffel Tower. He was like really rude about it so I asked a lady and she was nice. Here." He handed him a polaroid and Taehyun looked at it before an Eiffel Tower key chain was placed in his hand.

"What's this?" He asked, looking at the gold tower with sparkles all over it.

"When you were like fourteen, you said you wanted to visit Paris. So until that happens, there's a key chain." Taehyun was too busy looking at it to notice Beomgyu pulling more things out of his wallet until it was in front of his eyes.

"First class plane tickets?"

"For us to go to Paris between February 22nd and February 28th. Five star hotel. Nice food. Rude people. The best combination."

Paris? For six days? With Beomgyu?

He was excited and also nervous.

"Is this a birthday present...?" Beomgyu nodded happily. "It's big."

"Yeah, it is." He paused. "But you deserve to be able to take a trip to a relaxing, beautiful place. Especially one that you've always wanted to go to."

True.

"Are you just bribing me?"

"No." Beomgyu sighed. "It does seem like that. Honestly, I feel like it would be a good way for us to be able to talk to each other more. But I also just wanna go to Paris again and I know you do too so that's your birthday present. On top of the key chain of course."

Taehyun giggled and looked down at the key chain again. "Okay. I'll go."
