Jisung stumbled as he ran, his heart aching with a pain he had never felt before. Tears streamed down his face as he cried, with Felix running after him. Eventually, Jisung stopped, and Felix hugged him tightly.

"Ji, I'm sorry..." as he hugged the older.

"Felix, why does it hurt so much?" Jisung said, his eyes pouring with tears "my heart...".

Felix led Jisung to a nearby bench, stroking his back until he calmed down.

"I'm sorry to bother you, Lix. I should be the one helping you feel better today," Jisung apologized, feeling bad for his friend.

"Don't worry about it, Ji. Just being with you is enough to make me happy. I'll always be here for you, remember?" Felix said, smiling at him.

Jisung gave a weak smile and nodded. "I'm such an idiot. I shouldn't be this hurt. We had nothing, after all."

"Felix," Jisung said, "I don't think things will get better soon. I feel awful."

Felix took Jisung's chin, raised his face up, and said, "Please, let me try to make your day better, Ji?"

Jisung couldn't resist Felix's cute face card and nodded. "Okay" Jisung noticed that he just wanted to help him.

Felix hugged his friend again "let's go to Hyunjin's" as he grabbed Jisung's hand and walked them to Hyunjin's house.

Later that night...

Hyunjin knew they were coming to have a drinking night at his house, he welcomed the two boys when they arrived, giving them each a bottle of alcohol "here, drink!".

Jisung didn't hesitate, opening his bottle and taking a sip right away, walking towards the living room. After crying his broken heart at the park, he had no strength to fight, his energy was drained, he wanted to feel nothing and alcohol will help him in this moment. At least that was what he thought.

Hyunjin noticed Jisung's defeated demeanor and whispered to Felix, "What happened?"

"I'll tell you later," Felix replied, going to sit with Jisung on the couch.

Jeongin, who was nearby, saw them and asked Hyunjin, "What happened to Jisung?"

"I don't know, baby," Hyunjin said, hugging Jeongin's lower back, making the younger flinch at the sudden touch, "but, let's try to cheer him up a little".

"O-okay" Jeongin looked behind him to make sure nobody saw them and said, "be careful".

"There's no one looking at us" Hyunjin smirked, pulling the younger closer.

Jeongin smiled and leaned in, ghosting his lips over Hyunjin's and whispered "save all this for later" as he turned and walked away.

"Mean" Hyunjin pouted.

In the living room, Seungmin had started the karaoke on the TV trying to lift the mood. "Okay, I'll go first!" he said, selecting a song to sing.

Memory of your scent by Huh Gak starts to play.

Jeongin eagerly jump up "Me! Me! I, I'll go with you" leaving his bottle in Hyunjin's hands, running to the mic.

The pair showed great chemistry together as they showed a passionate performance, hearing their vocals you could think you've ascended to heaven. Their voices meshed perfectly with the song, creating an otherworldly atmosphere that seemed to lift everyone's spirits.

Felix looked at Hyunjin laughing "hey, you're drooling" and pointed at his mouth.

"I'm not" Hyunjin took another sip of his drink, trying to play it cool, but stealing glances at Jeongin.

When the song ended, Felix stood up and gestured for Hyunjin to join him. "Hey, come here, Hyunjin" he called, reaching his hand to the older stood up with him "let's show them THE dance we practiced this week".

Play with fire by Yacht Money starts to play.

The two boys launched into an intense, sexy dance that left everyone speechless. Jisung couldn't help but feel a bit intimidated, but he was also impressed by his friends' skills. The audience screamed lots of 'wow' and 'oww' when Felix lifted his shirt, leaving everyone in awe.

After the dance was over, Felix went to Jisung reaching his hand for him to stand up.

"It's just for fun, come on!" he pleaded. The others chimed in with their encouragement, and Jisung couldn't resist their enthusiasm. He took a deep breath and began to sing "If I Had to Say" by Kim Sung Jae, surprising everyone with his smooth voice and heartfelt delivery. As the song ended, Jisung looked around the room and saw the genuine smiles on his friends' faces. Maybe things weren't so bad after all.

"What?" Jisung was confused.

"It's your turn" Felix smiled.

"No, no, no I'm not as good as you all" Jisung panicked and started to sign with his hands, he didn't want to embarrass himself in front of the professionals.

"It's just for fun! Please~" Felix looked Jisung in the eyes pleading.

"Go, Jisung! Go! Go! Go!" The others chimed in with their encouragement, and Jisung couldn't resist their enthusiasm.

Jisung thought for a second 'they all are trying hard to make me feel better', he took a deep breath and smiled back at Felix.

Seeing that smile made Felix's day complete "yes!!", he screamed while giving little jumps, he sat excited on the couch to drink more.

If I had to say by Kim Sung Jae starts to play.

The music started and Jisung shared a look with Felix who was encouraging him with his kind eyes, nodding his head. Jisung blushed and started to sing, surprising everyone with his smooth voice and heartfelt delivery.

"WOW!!" They all exclaimed in unison, taken aback by Jisung's impressive vocal ability.

At some point they all hyped him so much, maybe the alcohol had helped them too, Jisung started doing some dance moves he remembered between versed. By seeing that, the others stood up and started to dance hyping him, ending up with all of them drunk singing together and falling on the ground at the end laughing.

In that moment, Jisung felt incredibly grateful to have such supportive and fun-loving friends. He was having the time of his life, so much so that he didn't even realize his phone had been buzzing incessantly in silent mode.
