The week passes by quickly. Jaemin and Donghyuck rarely see each other because Donghyuck is lowkey avoiding him. Jaemin's word won't leave his mind. He is scared to think about them more deeply. 

He feels happy waking up on a Saturday. It's been a while since he needed a break from school and this weekend he'll focus on himself once and not his work. 

He catches up on some episodes of one piece and eats a whole bag of dry cheerios. He plans on laying flat the whole day but little does he know that his plans for the day would be completely thrown off by his best friend. The doorbell rings and Donghyuck rushes to the door. He opens it and Jeno is just standing there, grinning suspiciously.

"Jeno, it's Saturday, what are you doing here?"

"You owe me a favor, remember?", the boy smiles at him evilly.

"Oh no, Jeno, I'm not going to that party, I already told you", he says annoyed.

"Oh you will, but before that, I want to try something out", he's holding a box of dye. 

"You can not be serious, Jeno! I will not let you experiment with my hair!".

.

And he does let Jeno experiment with his hair. It took an hour-long of convincing though.

After what feels like an eternity, Donghyuck finally rinses his hair for the last time. 

"If I look like a clown once this dries I will beat you up", he hisses.

"You will love it, don't worry", the boy laughs.

Jeno blow-dries Donghyuck's hair and Donghyuck is nervous about the result. It will be over for his best friend if he looks like a fool.

"I'm done"

Donghyuck looks in the mirror and is stunned. It has been years since the last time he dyed his hair. He feared that Jeno would put a crazy color on him but it was a pretty shade of light brown. It suits him well, his skin color looks even better now. He would go as far as to say that he looks angelic.

"Stop looking at yourself like that, ew", his best friend teases him.

"I love it Jeno! Thank you so much, I can't believe this", he touches his hair over and over again.

"To be honest with you, I didn't know it would turn out this good. I just wanted to experiment a little- ouw!", Donghyuck hits him on the arm.

"Anyways, about the party, we need to leave in an hour so make yourself pretty! Mark will be there too.", he winks at Donghyuck.

Huh? Mark never told him he would go to a party. 

Jeno leaves but promises to pick him up in an hour.

.

He puts on some light eyeshadow and powder. That should be enough, or isn't it? He wants to look pretty for Mark. He puts on some clear gloss too and a little bit of his favorite perfume.

For his outfit, he just wears what he used to wear for parties back then. Jeans and an oversized shirt will do just fine. He puts a flannel on too if it gets cold. 

He waits outside for Jeno. He spots that Mark's car is gone. Should he text him? It's so unusual for Mark to not tell him about a party. Jeno pulls up to Donghyuck's house. Renjun is sitting right next to him. He seats himself in the backseat. Somehow Donghyuck feels weird. Like he shouldn't be going there.
