The night was drawing to a close and most of the crew had left the restaurant. Those who remained were the ones who had enjoyed the evening the most - including Beomgyu, Yeonjun and Dami. Conversations had become quieter and the atmosphere had calmed down. Yeonjun, who was obviously affected by the festivities, leaned slightly towards Beomgyu and whispered with a mischievous grin, "Hey, Beomgyu, what do you say we share a cab? That way we can save ourselves the lonely ride home."

The words echoed through the soft farewell of the restaurant, the subdued lighting creating an intimate atmosphere. Beomgyu, a little tipsy from the exuberant celebration, laughed in agreement. His cheerful laughter mingled with the fading conversations that still hung in the air. The sounds formed a harmonious melody that emphasized the special mood of the evening.

When Beomgyu agreed, his smile reflected the joy of finishing the day's filming together. His eyes sparkled in the warm lights and he seemed to enjoy the moment with ease. The room was filled with a sense of community as the crew members took their leave one by one.

"Good idea. Shared cab rides are always the best," grinned Beomgyu.

The feeling of Yeonjun's warm breath on his ear supported the dazed moment. "Good," he heard the musician whisper before he reached for his smartphone and ordered the cab. "I think I'll take over the organization of the cab. After all, I don't want you both to be kidnapped by a wild cab gang. I'll get one for Dami too," Yeonjun said, grinning and nodding in the young woman's direction.

She was no longer even responsive.

It didn't take long for Yeonjun to make his call and Beomgyu was surprised that the musician knew that he lived nearby. A coworker had probably told him and Beomgyu shrugged his shoulders. At the moment, it was only right that Yeonjun took the initiative while he sank into his chair and thought about trivial things. The alcohol had dulled his senses and he felt like a fresh seventeen when he had gone out partying for the first time.

It had been his best friend's birthday and they had snuck into a club thanks to his big brother. They hadn't been of age yet and it had felt like a forbidden adventure at the time. The pulsating lights, the loud music and the exciting energy of the club had transported Beomgyu into a world that he had previously only known from stories.

"Beomgyu!" Yeonjun's voice sounded next to him and he was gently touched on the elbow. He could feel his fingertips through the fabric of his hoodie and it sent a pleasant shiver through his skin. "Can you help me get Dami on her feet?"

A little confused and sleepy, Beomgyu rose to his feet. They were a little wobbly, but at least he managed to stand.

With Yeonjun's help, he put his arm under hers and pulled her up with a jerk.

The entire weight of the actress was now on the two boys.

"Is the cab here yet?" asked Beomgyu.

"Soon!" came Yeonjun's reply. "I'd rather wait outside before they get any ideas."
