"Are you ready to speak yet?" Wooyoung asked gently, though Yeosang shook at the words regardless.

It was a couple seconds later when Yeosang spoke up, taking a deep breath in before starting. "I- I was by the drinks, r-right?" His hands unknowingly shook as he was trying to produce proper sentences. Wooyoung nodded, trying his best to stop the tears dripping down Yeosang's face with his thumbs, as he gestured for him to continue. "Ev-everything was f-fine, and... and then, I see Yun-Yunho. So, without even realizing, my heart skips a beat, cause like... I m-miss him, you know..."

Wooyoung frowned at that, wanting to say something so Yeosang waved him off and continued his story. "So, like the dumb, lovestruck idiot that I am, I went up to him, to you know... talk, maybe patch things up, because it was unfair how we e-ended, right?" The blond was near shaking at this point, downing another shot as he blared through the story.

Wooyoung could see the anger in his eyes slowly build, the passion of a ruined love slowly resurfacing. He knew how much that break up affected him, and hoped to God they'd never cross paths again. But alas, they were here, Yeosang crying over Yunho again....

"I was s-sso h-hap-happy," his tears blurred his vision at this point, but Wooyoung didn't dare cut him off. "I was seeing my first l-l-love right there, in front of me. S-so cl-close, yet I couldn't re-reach him, because just before I could, his bo-boy-boyfr-iend came, an-an-and it was like I wasn't even there," he was sobbing by now. His body rocking as gut wrenching sobs escaped him.

Wooyoung quickly took the new shot glass, downing it himself, before he wrapped up his friend in his embrace, rocking him gently as he weeped. This heartbreak was the hardest and toughest Yeosang has ever endured, and Wooyoung hated how badly it affected him, and still affects him today.

When the music got too loud, Wooyoung carried a drunk and snotty Yeosang out of the bar, catching the eye of a bored CEO grimacing at his friends making out.

"I'd rather not watch my business partner and assistant make out right now," San said with a grimace. He shook his head, darting his eyes away from the attached couple. Boredly scanning the crowd, San caught sight of a man that looked eerily similar to Wooyoung. Intrigued, his eyes followed that man as he was walking a drunken mess out the bar.

Having had enough of drinks for the night, San decided to ditch his friends and maybe mess around with Wooyoung, if he truly was Wooyoung. What are the chances, San smirked to himself.

Walking out, he looked around to find the two men, but was left dumbfounded when he didn't catch them. Scratching his head, he scoffed, he couldn't have been drunk yet to start hallucinating Wooyoung from thin air. So, he marched about, trying to find the blond and brunette duo that caught his eye.

It was around a good ten minutes before he spotted them. They were huddled together, faces inches apart as they stared down each other's lips. The blond was nearing Wooyoung, closing the gap quicker than San had expected. San clicked his tongue, and clenched his jaw at the sight. Wooyoung didn't move, he was frozen, and it seemed San was too, but before he could see anymore, he turned away, and was back on the dance floor. Now, he seemingly had not had enough drinks for the night as he downed more shots with his friends, drowning deeper and losing control of his senses until it all turned black.

"Yeo, breathe, he isn't here right now. Stop hurting yourself," the younger pleaded.

Yeosang was tugging on his hair, wanting to rip it out. He hated how this was getting to him. He thought he was fine, he should be over it, but seeing Yunho there, so close- close enough to touch, close enough to feel, it was too much for him.

"I can't do it, Wooyoung. Am I the problem? Was it me the entire time? Was I not enough? Is that why he left? I just don't get it, I don't understand this, Woo."

"I don't either, but you have got to stop beating yourself up for it, Yeo. It was never you, okay? You know that, he told you that! It was never your fault, you did all you could, and so did he. There was things in your way, and that's okay! You weren't meant to last with him. I know first loves hurt the most, but that's why they aren't your last. You will find someone who will pick you up, pick all your broken pieces and put you back together. They will be patient, caring and understanding, everything you deserve and need, they... they—"

The words died in Wooyoung's throat.

The depth in which Yeosang was staring at him was suffocating. Heavy breathing hit his lips, and only then did he realize the closeness. He noticed Yeosang's eyes flicker down to his lips, he could see the hesitation, the contemplation, the conflicting emotions rushing in his mind. He could see them all, in his eyes. Too caught up in that, his eyes also drifted lower to the curve of Yeosang's pretty lips. They seemed so inviting now, glistening underneath the headlights.

When Wooyoung looked up again, his eyes met Yeosang's. Their breathing grew short as Yeosang neared, his face inching closer and closer at a pace Wooyoung was frightened by.

A second too close, their lips touched barely before Wooyoung felt arms wrap around his shoulders, and a head lay in the crook of his neck. Yeosang's tears wet his shirt as he swayed his friend back and forth. They hardly kissed, he couldn't even consider it a peck before the older settled for a hug, weeping in his arms instead, but Wooyoung's mind was clouded.

Why didn't he want to stop him? And why was he ready to give in?

He shook his head, dismissing the thoughts, it must be the alcohol.
