I went out for a quick smoke and saw yunho by the parking lot with yeosang. I contemplated whether to approach the two or not and i chose the latter— they were in a disagreement and i could hear yeosang cursing loud, yunho's fist were tightly clenched and then yeosang scoffs "what? you want to hit me? go on!" it sounds like the alcohol is talking "let everybody know that jeong yunho is fond of violence. go on, do it! its not like its the first time!" but a drunk person never lies.

My brows were furrowed, I didn't understand what's going on but I for sure know that none of us really knows who yunho really is— "babe, what the hell are you doing?" I jolt slightly behind upon wooyoung's arrival "Fuck, You scared me. Nothin i was just" i looked over to the two except now yeosang is struggling to breathe as yunho chokes him by the neck "shit" I immediately run towards them and pull yunho away with all my might "what the fuck yunho?! you could've killed him!" Yeosang coughs, his eyes teary "you alright?" he could only nod and before i knew it a fist landed on my face causing my lips to bleed from the impact of the punch "sanie!" wooyoung screamed and then there's another familiar voice "yunho! what the fuck is going on here?" that's definitely hongjoong's, he even help me up "san, did you do something again?" of course its always me. it has always been me.

"listen, i don't wanna fight okay? you're no match for me and besides what the fuck is yunho even on? he almost killed yeosang!"

Hongjoong looks at the red marks on yeosangs' pale neck "He's dangerous, don't cross him" is all hongjoong said before Seonghwa slapped him lightly on his chest "Hey, don't be like that you make it sound like he's not our friend" Hongjoong looks at me and then yeosang before saying "you don't just beat up your friend and technically he's not really" Hongjoong's phone rung and he had to go leaving me and wooyoung with yeosang.

Wooyoung sat with Yeosang on the ground "Hey, i don't know what's going on but im always one call away" Yeosang offered him a small smile before his phone lit up "Oh no, my drivers here i have to go now, my dad really doesn't know im outside"

This night is crazy because as soon as we went inside the club molly was everywhere "welcome my dudes!" mingi exclaimed and handed me the pill "no, no, im already on a painkiller an-" but then my words are cut off when wooyoung suddenly grabbed the pill "thank you mingi-ah"

"woo, you can't take molly. it's dangerous" i say through gritted teeth as i struggled getting the pill from his hand to which he eventually gave up pouting "fine! i'll just drink, can i?" he looks at me batting his eyelashes to which I chuckled "Alright silly just don't drink too much, okay?" he happily nods and marched onto the drinks.

I'm not really a fan of parties and mostly im only here for wooyoung and drive him home safe. Although every party we've been in are lit i just don't wanna be involved in the rich kid's business.

"hey, you alone? want some drink?" a blonde haired girl approached me and just as i was about to decline the offer, wooyoung comes and sit on my lap "sorry miss, im the boyfriend he doesn't want a drink now shoo, shoo away to where you came from"

"you didn't have to be so rude babe"

"no can do sir, it always happens and im sick of it! kiss me right now right here!" I laughed at him "You're so adorable you know that?" my hands rests on his waist and we were just in the moment with the loud music blasting out from the speakers and the chaotic noise of the club but here we are at the moment holding each other so close.

And then there were sounds of sirens that got me moving so fast "shit, baby, we have to go, now!" i dragged him upstairs because both exits and fire exit are full of cops.

I punched one of the glass windows just enough to make room for us to jumped down "okay, listen to me, we have to do it quick. i'll go first" I looked at the distance and it wasn't too bad we're currently on the second floor near parking lot.

We were able to jumped and get into my car but then wooyoung was staring at something "baby? hey, what is it?"

"yunho... he.. he told the cops"

"what?"

As soon as i catch a glimpse of Yunho talking to one of the cops i knew we were fucked.

I called mingi and he told me he's driving to his sisters penthouse "the cops are following me, fuck, if i know who ratted on us its the end for them" I could only imagine how mad mingi is right now judging by the amount of cusss "Yunho. It's yunho, he called the cops" and the call ended.

"Is this your car?" the detective placed a somewhat shot from a cctv footage of my audi "yes" i honestly confirmed.

Detective Min looked at me "So, you admit the night the victim went missing you followed him home?" my eyes widened in surprise because what the fuck.

"what? no. i was following their car because we live in the same neighborhood"

"right, and this neighborhood is apparently for the rich rich people like you?"

"sort of, yes. this is ridiculous why are we talking about the neighborhood"

"because the shirt he was wearing the night he went missing has been found in that neighborhood just a few days before he was pronounced dead"

I remained silent.

"Now tell me, you live across hongjoong's home, correct?"

"Yes"

"Is it true that the two of them often get into arguments?"

"No its just friendly banters"

"and this friendly banters includes them getting into a fist fight?"

"what?"

"no more questions. you may go now."

As i get out of detention room i see Seonghwas' head resting on hongjoong's shoulders, it looks uncomfortable. They already made up and i still think Seonghwa can do better.

Hongjoong's my best friend, sure but that doesn't mean im always on his side.
