Twenty Minutes

Han dropped a tiny package on the coffee table. "Guess what I picked up today."

Hyunjin stared at the package, blinked, and then looked back up at Han. "Stickers...?"

"No, you idiot – LSD."

He blinked again. "Not following..."

"Acid, Hyunjin, acid."

"...Why...?"

"Uhh, 'cause dropping acid's fun as hell?" Han snickered, opening the package. "Also 'cause it's Saturday, and we've been sitting in your house not doing jack shit?"

"Okay, smartass." Hyunjin sighed. "Let me see those..." He snatched the package out of Han's hands, observing the small white sheet decorated with pictures of pineapples.

Hyunjin frowned. "Are you sure this is a good idea?"

"Look around, dude. Nobody else is in the house, and cops aren't around, so I don't see why not."

Han noticed the skeptical look on Hyunjin's face, and he chuckled. "Alright, look, if it'll make you feel better, I won't drop it this time; I'll be your little trip-sitter..."

"How am I even supposed to-?" Hyunjin flipped the sheet over a couple of times, the frown he held on his face never left. "What the fuck...?"

"Rip a tab off, put it on your tongue, and wait," Han instructed him, watching the boy do exactly what he told him to, but slowly.

Despite the slightly bitter taste that came with the tab, Hyunjin didn't react. "How long is it supposed to take to kick in?"

"Give it about twenty minutes; you should be straight."

~Twenty Minutes Later...~

"Yo," Han called out to Hyunjin. "How're you feeling over there?"

"I'm not really feeling anything, man. You don't think you picked up some phony shit, did you?"

"Nah, my plug wouldn't sell me anything fake – he'd get fucked up for that."

"Wait, wait, wait..." Hyunjin paused, looking over at his kitchen. "Hey, bro."

"Wassup?"

"Am I tripping, or are there like six dudes just staring at me over there?"

Han looked to where he was pointing, expecting to see nothing based on the type of question he asked.

"Bro, you just dropped a tab of acid – you're definitely tripping dick right now..."

Hyunjin squinted and wiped his eyes, checking if he was still seeing the six boys he saw at first.

Sure enough, they were still there, and this confused the living shit out of him.

Then one of them raised their finger in an upward motion, silently telling Hyunjin to get up and come to them.

So he did, again, slowly. Han watched him leave and chuckled.

"Ahhh, this is gonna be fun..."
