StreetLight || ChanCheol

Five

" Seungcheol hyung, hey, look at me, stay with me..."

" What for ?! I told you I want to die ! "

" Think of those who love you."

" Funny, only my brother loves me."

" Hyung.."

Chan looks at his eldest with tears in his eyes. He can see that Seungcheol is suffering like him, even more than him. He'd like to help him, but he doesn't know how.

" Seungcheol, you have a girlfriend, don't you ? "

" I..." Seungcheol sighs

" Please..."

" She's just a very good friend, I'm not in a relationship with her..."

" What do you mean by that ? "

Chan stands up and massages his temple, confused. Seungcheol also gets up with a grunt, still not looking at Chan, the horizon more interesting.

" Chan don't be disgusted..." Seungcheol begins

" By you ? Why should I be ? "

" No, nothing forgets that, I'm in a relationship with her."

" But, Choi fucking Seungcheol ! "

Too late, Seungcheol has already left, running but also in pain. Chan wants to follow him, he wants to get an answer to his questions but...

- Incoming call -

《 - Hello ?

- Dino come to my place tonight...

- Why Soonyoung hyung ?

- For a party ?

- You know what, why not ? It'll take my mind off things...
* His sentence is accompanied by a sigh *

- See you tonight Chan !

- Tonight Soonyoung hyung ! 》

- End of the call -

Chan sighs out a second breath and heads for home, he's sad about Seungcheol, he doesn't know what to do so the best solution to relax is to go to this party. He dresses appropriately, puts on a little leather jacket and heads for his friend's place...

- Ding dong -

" Oh Chan, get in the house..." Soonyoung says with a smile.

" Thanks Hyung."

" You're welcome, the drinks are in the lounge..."

" What are you drinking ? "

Jihoon appears, and kisses Soonyoung's cheek. Chan is shocked by the scene...

" Are you..."

" Are you a couple ? Yes." Says Jihoon

" Since when ?"

" A month, I'd say, at the same time as Vernon and Kwan."

" Ah because they're a couple too ? I'm sorry but there are only three couples who are psychic here."

Soonyoung taps Chan on the arm then realizes.

" Do you even listen when we talk to you ? Besides, if you don't know that, Mingyu and Wonwoo are a couple too. Jun and Minghao, on the other hand, aren't, but that's coming soon I think."

" I'm sorry I wasn't listening and didn't notice that you were all in a couple or close to it. "

" Does it show that little ? "

Chan shrugs and walks back into the house and into the living room. He notices Jeonghan kissing Joshua on the neck, and Seokmin and his boyfriend kissing.

" I can only see them, look, even Kwan's red with embarrassment..."

" He's in the middle of our two most demonstrative couples too."

" Isn't he here, Vernon ? "

" Yes, he's over there, probably with Mingyu. "

" They're close too, the two of them."

" Mingyu considers Hansol his son."

" Just like Jeonghan thinks of me as his son, you'd think we were babies."

Soonyoung looks at his youngest son and rubs his hair, who sighs, then looks around.

" Is it just the twelve of us ? "

" No, there will be other people, usually two. They must be around here. They've already arrived. "

" Who's that ? "

" You'll see."

" You suck as an elder frankly. Hey Jihoon hyung isn't sick of seeing all his tiger plushies. "

" Hey, my stuffed animals are fine, don't touch my kids."

Soonyoung runs off to take refuge in Jihoon's arms, sulking slightly.

" Guys ! "

" Yeah Shua ? "

Joshua detaches himself completely from his boyfriend, who is desperately trying to get back to kissing his youngest's neck and collarbone. The American looks around and smiles as he finds the person he's looking for, then, returning to inking his eyelids in Chan's with an air of defiance, he says...

" A dare or truth ? Would you like that ? "

" It's classic Shua."

" It's normal Soon. I do that for many things."

" It's going to cause trouble again..."

" That's just it Soon, is it the goal that's at play ? "

Soonyoung bellows, peels off Jihoon and gives Joshua a tap on the shoulder...

" Nobody's going to play hyung..."

" You're not funny..."

" No, your game's just too banal, it's just too lame."

" Are you done ? "

" Shua no offense, but your game is truly..."

Joshua inks his gaze into Soonyoung's, then comes to take his arm and pulls him to him and whispers in his ear...

" It's not just me I'm doing this for, you idiot ! "

" Who then ? "

" For Chan the poor man must feel lonely."

" And your plan is to put him with whom ? "

" Seungcheol."

" What ? But you don't like Seungcheol. And he's in a relationship with a girl."

" A girl like her is quickly replaceable."

" Hyung ! "

" It's quickly cleared Soon, I know what I'm talking about, especially her."

Soonyoung finally nods slowly. Joshua has convinced him...

" Guys come a dare or truth is on the way." Says Soonyoung

" Okay..."

Everyone arrives and stands in a circle.

" Chan ? "

" Seungcheol hyung ? "
