10 | hugs

mr. hwang stormed towards hyunjin in anger and slapped him across the face suddenly. hyunjin let out an audible gasp as he backed away, his hand covering his face.

"f-father..." the boy spoke out but was suddenly pushed against the wall harshly. he looked up at his dad, and noticed something.

"you're drunk..? dad, why would you drive drunk?!" hyunjin shouted in anger and worry. sure, his dad doesn't treat him the best, but he still was worried about him.

before he could gather his stamina again, mr. hwang stopped him and left the kitchen. the boy was left confused and still concerned about the fact his father was drunk driving.

"what's taking hyunjin so long? didn't he say he was gonna get snacks and drinks? it's been over 10 minutes already." felix asks worryingly, but minho reassured him.

"maybe he's just getting a bunch for us? i mean, he invited seven people over so it should be understandable." minho replied as his arm wrapped around felix's shoulder.

"wait, did you guys not hear that or was it just me?" chan suddenly spoke out, leaving the others to stare at him in confusion.

"you didn't hear hyunjin shouting?" he asks again, but the others still seemed confused.

"maybe it's just my hallucinations, never mind."

everyone sat in silence until they heard the door creaking open. changbin immediately got up and saw hyunjin struggling with a tray of snacks and drinks. he grabbed the tray out of the boy's hands and placed it on the bed.

"woah, you got so much things!" jisung said with a wide smile as he looked at all the snacks that remained on the tray.

"haha yeah, there was a lot of snacks in the pantry anyways so i decided to get them!" hyunjin replied giggling as he hopped onto the bed with the others.

as he was grabbing his tv remote, jeongin couldn't help but stare at his face, and noticed his cheek was red. then he suddenly remembered about what chan said, and the dots connected.

"hyunjin, what's wrong with your face?" jeongin asks, which brought the attention of the other boys. hyunjin turned around slowly.

"uhm, it's just a mosquito bite...there's nothing to worry about!" he quickly responded with a slight smile, trying to reassure everyone but they weren't completely convinced.

"anyways, netflix?"

few hours have passed and hyunjin was getting ready to see his friends out after a long day of hanging out with each other. they all gathered down stairs by the front door and he said bye to all of them.

"i hope you guys had fun, i'll see you guys at school!" hyunjin said with a smile, and chan stepped forward.

"may i hug you hyunjin?" he asks, and the other was surprised at the sudden question. at first he was frozen and didn't know what to say, but his head nodded and replied for him.

next thing he knew, chan was hugging him. he was engulfed into his warm brace, and hyunjin somewhat enjoyed it. as they broke the hug, changbin also stepped forward.

"hey, it's not fair if he's the only one that gets to hug you, right?" he says, and hyunjin couldn't help but smile.

and the next he knew again, he was hugged by everyone.

"okay guys, it's getting late! you should all head back before it gets dark." the boy said, and the others smiled and waved bye before officially leaving hyunjin's house.

hyunjin closed his front door and he crumbled.

"i can't believe it...they hugged me..i hugged them..."

"what is this feeling?"
