Chan disengages himself from Seungcheol's fingers and looks intensely into his eyes, swallowing...
" I..."
" Guys ! The teachers aren't here ! We don't have class all day, shall we go to the bar ? "
" Yes Vernon."
Chan reaches under Seungcheol's arms and joins the others. Seungcheol blows him off and joins the others too, they all head for the bar.
Joshua is the first to grab a drink. Jeonghan looks at him out of the corner of her eye worriedly, as do Jun and Chan and the others.
" Shua hyung easy on the booze."
" Dino, you know how I am..."
" Yes, but..."
" Well ? Leave me alone please."
" You should take up singing and guitar again Shua hyung, it would do you good."
For only answer. Joshua lets out a frustrated sigh, he'd love to take up singing again but his club has closed.
" What about you ? "
" Me ? What ? "
" You don't dance anymore..."
" Yes, but-"
" So your moral lessons, you put it where I think."
Joshua keeps downing shots of alcohol, the other boys gasp, desperate and sad to see their friend like this. A girl arrives and addresses Seungcheol...
" Cheol oppa.."
" Oh Lia noona, how are you ? "
" Fine and you ? "
Chan is slightly jealous, so he prefers not to listen to the two young people's conversation. He looks towards Joshua, who is struggling to stay on his feet. Jeonghan is struggling to hold him, so Chan gets up and leaves to help Jeonghan support Joshua...
" What an idiot, drowning his sorrows in alcohol..." Chan says
" You, you do it with mar..." Said Joshua, barely aware that his actions
" SHUT UP ! "
Chan slaps his forehead, how silly Joshua can be when he's drinking, now there's proof. He almost reveals his war wounds to Jeonghan...
On the way, nobody talking, they finally arrive at the little couple's apartment...
" Thank you Chan, I couldn't have done it without you..."
" But that's normal, come on, he makes me sad."
" I don't like seeing him like this either."
" I'll take care of him, don't worry, have a good night, baby."
" Stop calling me that, save that nickname for Shua."
" Chan don't forget, whose baby are you ? "
" Jeonghan and Shua baby."
Chan smiles at his friend and decides to leave the two lovers alone. He heads for a park where he walks quietly along its gravel paths, night quickly making its appearance - not surprising with all the time spent at the bar. He headed for the lamppost, knowing, or at least thinking, that Hyunjin wouldn't be there, or accompanied by the girl, but not so.
Seungcheol was there, but without anyone.
Chan moves towards him...
" You're usually earlier..."
" If you haven't noticed, I had to help Jeonghan hyung bring Shua hyung back because he couldn't stand..."
" What's with the angry tone ? "
" I'm not angry, just worried..."
Chan huffs and leans against the lamppost and starts to shed a few tears...
Seungcheol moves closer and gives him a hug...
Chan doesn't have the strength to push him away, and gives in without hugging him back...
" Wouldn't you rather hug someone else ? " Asks the younger.
" What ? Who are you talking about ? "
" About the girl from earlier."
" Are you jealous ? "
" No, absolutely not..."
" To answer you, no, I'd rather cuddle you..."
" And the girl ? "
" Her name is Lia..."
" I don't really care..."
" You're mean, and she's my little cousin..."
" What ? "
" That's surprising isn't it ? "
Chan stepped back and sighed, feeling silly, really silly for behaving like that.
" You know about this morning..."
" Really forget Seungcheol..."
" Okay, so you don't kiss me anymore..."
The street lamp goes out, startling Chan, who lands in Seungcheol's arms...
Seungcheol smiles inwardly, as he does outwardly. Chan raises his head and fixes his gaze on his elder's rosy lips...
" We make a pact..."
" I'm listening."
" We kiss and then I'll tell you..."
Seungcheol can't resist Chan's brilliant gaze, even in the dark his eyes sparkle with love...
The older Seungcheol delicately places his lips on Chan's, who's been waiting for this all morning. Their breaths mingle, as do their tongues, and for lack of breath, they end up pulling away from each other...
" I said 《 probably 》 this morning..."
" Probably ? "
" Yes, probably, I'm beginning to love you, where you're my everything and my heart belongs only to you. That's more like it. "
Legend has it that many butterflies flutter around in Seungcheol's stomach...
