After The Dance

❁2❁

Placing his books in his locker, Yeosang hears his name being shouted from almost across the hall by someone. And that someone just happened to be his childhood best friend.

"Wooyoung, I know you barely listen to what I say, but please I beg of you to stop yelling my name for the entire school to hear" The babysitter shut his locker close as he sees Wooyoung skipping while he's hand in hand with his boyfriend San and the rest of their friends approach him.

Time for some reason went by quickly as it was currently time for the students to go home, they were dismissed early today since all the teachers got called for a meeting. So the eight males met up before they went home.

"Then what's the point of not listening to you when I actually listen?" Yeosang rolls his eyes at the younger's remark. It's times like these where he regrets teaching Wooyoung to be sassy.

"Why are we friends again?" The babysitter crosses his arms.

"Because I was brave enough to approach you in elementary when others couldn't, but insted called you the ice prince?" The younger male tilted his head to tease the other more.

"Why you-" Before Yeosang could go over and actually do something to Wooyoung, The photgrapgher felt someone hold him back from his left arm. Yeosang halts his actions to look at the person holding him back. It was Jongho, it surprised the older that the younger was fast to go over to him.

"Hyung, is it really worth it to strangle Wooyoung hyung?" Yeosang furrows his eyebrows together and looks back and forth from Wooyoung to Jongho. The babysitter sighs and faces his childhood best friend.

"You're lucky, for now"

The male points a finger to Wooyoung who stuck his tongue out as retaliation, while Yeosang's arm got released from Jongho's hold. Everyone in the friend group- except for Jongho- Knows that Yeosang has a crush on the younger, so Wooyoung would sometimes used the younger since it was Yeosang's weakness.

"Anyways, before any of you guys go at each others' throats again. Me and Hongjoong have some big news" Seonghwa, the oldest in their group, butted in the conversation while his arm rested on Hongjoong's waist. The two started dating since last year and since they were the two oldest in their group, they naturally became the younger males second parent figures.

"Yeah, it's just announced that on Friday, we are going to have the Students party "

The Students party is pretty simple. Every school year, usually a couple of months before the school year ends, a party is held where the students enjoy themselves. Though, it's not just a normal formal type of party, it usually has a different theme each year. Like last year was a Hawaiian themed party, so many of the students look forward to the party each school year.

"Ooh, what theme are we going to have this year? Also, whose house are we going to have the sleepover this time?" Yunho asked. His boyfriend Mingi, smiled at the other for no apparent reason.

"I saw on the flyers that it's going to be a Masquerade ball" Seonghwa said.

"And, it's my turn to host the sleepover" Hongjoong followed. That sleepover was a tradition of theirs, where if they had an event in school they would often times hold a sleepover in one of their home. They naturally decided the order by oldest to youngest.

"Isn't a Masquerade ball a bit unoriginal?" San thought.

"Oh shush Sannie, I've never been to a Masquerade ball" Wooyoung pouted and let got of the older's hand to cross his arms. The older widened his eyes a bit as he went to back hug the younger and ask for his forgiveness.

"Could you two do that somewhere else?" The babysitter then felt his phone vibrate from his pocket, he pulls the device out to see a text from one of his babysitting client. "Also, I don't think I can go this year" Yeosang shrugged, he pocketed his phone again.

That caught the other's attention. It was sort of like an unwritten tradition for the eight of them to attend the party, so for one of them to not go was sort of a surprise. Yet, they did expect for Yeosang (The shy and somewhat cold one in the group) to not attend at least one party, they just didn't expect for it to be now.

"But why?" Jongho asked. He feels sad that his hyung isn't going to go with them, but for some reason he was feeling something weird in his chest.

"I just happened to have four kids to babysit that day, and one of them being your younger brother" The text that he just got was from the parents whose three kids gets babysitted by the photographer. They were hoping if he could babysit their kids from morning to around lunch time, it was different from their usual schedule, but their text said that they needed to go somewhere important on that day.

"But won't you at least be a photographer for the dance?" Jongho tries this excuse to make the older come with them to the party.

"I can ask for a leave on that day, and I think Hwanwoong and Chanhee are enough. They might even have pictures to do a whole page for the papers. Plus, it's kids were talking about, I can't leave them unsupervised" The two were the other photographers that the babysitter works with.

"Aw, our Yeosangie is such a hard working person" Wooyoung then hugged the other, making the hug even tighter every time Yeosang was pushing him away. He eventually have up and let the younger hug him.

Jongho feels weird as he watches their interaction. Usually he feels nothing when Wooyoung hugs Yeosang since he knows they're best friends, however, he feels weird or almost bothered about it. He doesn't know what was happening to him.

"Anyways, me and Yun are gonna head home first. We promised each other to tutor each other" Mingi rubs the older's side as he faces him.

"And have a movie date" The older added.

"And a movie date, of course"

Then all of the males went ahead to head home to while Jongho and Yeosang went to the younger's home together since the babysitter had a schedule with a little monkey.
