I am so incredibly sorry for how horribly late this chapter is, omfg. Anyway, enjoy!

*warning! Mention of substance abuse, drunkenness, mention of past drug usage (very minor mention)*

About a month had passed since the whole 'Seonghwa ordeal' as Hongjoong and Yunho had called it. Yes. Of course he discussed it with Yunho, how couldn't he. He needed to talk to someone about his own feelings.

And that someone surely wasn't Seonghwa.

Yes he knew what he heard was what he heard. But people have sexual attraction without romantic feelings all the time.

So, he stayed silent.

Not to mention he hasn't even asked for Seonghwa's number. Even if that were a normal thing, he didn't want it to sound flirty, or push Seonghwa away.

The two sat together on the couch. Seonghwa's head rested against Hongjoong's shoulder as he scrolled through his phone.

Hongjoong, much like many, many others times, took the moment to admire his beautiful roommate. And he really was beautiful.

Every little detail about him.
Gorgeous.

Seonghwa sighed, sitting up from Hongjoong's body.
"We should go do something today."
He stated, locking his phone and lightly throwing it onto the coffee table.
 
"Like what?"
Hongjoong questioned.

Seonghwa shrugged in response.
"Bar?"

The idea of that wasn't necessarily what Hongjoong was planning. As he wasn't much of a drinker, nor a partier. He tended to prefer being alone, in the solitude of his home. Sure he liked company, but quiet, indoors kind of company.

After a moments discussion, the two agreed Hongjoong would simply stay home, and Seonghwa would go out with Wooyoung.

If he was honest. He wasn't too sure Wooyoung would be a good driver. Something about the boy just felt like he would immediately be shit-faced. But he chose to trust that Seonghwa would make a somewhat good call, even drunk.

Seonghwa hurriedly got ready, as it was already quite late. And he looked absolutely stunning. Almost too stunning. A weird surge of possessiveness came over Hongjoong, so much so that he considered even getting ready himself, and going with Seonghwa.

He quickly pushed the thought away. And just bid Seonghwa a farewell, and reminding him to be safe.

And he was alone.

As introverted as he was, there was a slight relief to being completely alone, but there was also a hint of sadness that set in as well.

He eventually fell asleep on the sofa without even realizing. Until he was awoken by the front door;

The front door and a very loud, very drunk Seonghwa, walking along with a very annoyed Wooyoung.

"His fucking ex-"
Wooyoung breathed. Seemingly out of breath for some reason.
"I hate that bastard. He fucking showed up. Ruined my night. And definitely ruined Seonghwa's. Even if he doesn't know it at this particular moment."
Wooyoung gestured to Seonghwa who was now sitting in floor holding his head.
