The night wore on at the fraternity mansion, the atmosphere thick with pulsating music and the heady scent of mingling perfumes and colognes. Felix found himself caught up in the whirlwind of festivities, moving from group to group with his friends, sharing laughs and stories amidst the vibrant backdrop of the party.
As the hours passed and the drinks flowed freely, Felix found himself indulging a bit too enthusiastically. The music seemed louder, the lights brighter, and each conversation more animated. His laughter echoed through the halls as he danced with carefree abandon, the weight of his worries momentarily forgotten in the revelry.
Hyunjin, ever watchful from a distance, couldn't help but notice Felix's escalating intoxication. Concern knitted his brow as he observed Felix's increasingly unsteady movements and the mischievous gleam in his eyes that spoke of a night careening towards reckless abandon.
When Felix stumbled for the third time, nearly colliding with a table of drinks, Hyunjin knew it was time to intervene. He swiftly made his way through the throngs of partygoers, his friends trailing behind him with concerned expressions.
"Felix," Hyunjin called out firmly, catching Felix's attention amidst the chaotic swirl of the party.
Felix turned with a lopsided grin, his cheeks flushed with alcohol and laughter. "Darling!" he exclaimed, his voice carrying a touch of merriment and an unmistakable hint of inebriation.
Hyunjin approached with measured steps, his gaze steady despite the chaos around them. "You've had enough for tonight," he stated calmly, his tone leaving no room for argument.
Felix pouted playfully, swaying slightly on his feet. "But the night's still young!" he protested with a giggle, oblivious to the concerned glances exchanged between Hyunjin's friends.
Hyunjin sighed softly, his concern deepening as he gently took Felix's arm, offering support. "Let's get you home," he suggested, his voice a mix of firmness and quiet reassurance.
With Hyunjin's steadying presence, they navigated through the crowd-a tangle of laughter and music fading into the background as they made their way towards the exit. Changbin, Chan, and Minho followed closely behind, their expressions a blend of relief and amusement at Felix's antics.
Outside in the cool night air, Hyunjin hailed a cab, guiding Felix into the backseat with careful ease. Felix slumped against the seat with a contented sigh, his eyelids drooping as the alcohol-induced haze began to settle.
Hyunjin climbed in beside him, giving the driver Felix's address with practiced ease. The drive was quiet, punctuated only by the soft hum of the engine and the occasional murmur of directions from Hyunjin.
As they neared Felix's apartment building, Hyunjin's thoughts drifted to the evening's events. He couldn't deny the unexpected twists their interactions had taken-the tension, the attraction, and now, the responsibility of ensuring Felix's safety.
When they arrived, Hyunjin helped Felix out of the cab, his touch gentle yet firm as he guided Felix towards the entrance. Changbin and the others bid them goodnight with knowing smiles, their silent support evident in their expressions.
Inside the building, Hyunjin rode the elevator with Felix to his floor, the journey steeped in a companionable silence. Felix leaned against the wall, his gaze flickering with gratitude and lingering traces of intoxication.
At Felix's door, Hyunjin fished out the keys from Felix's pocket with a small smile. "Let's get you inside," he murmured softly, his voice a soothing anchor in the quiet hallway.
Felix nodded sleepily, his fingers brushing against Hyunjin's briefly as he took the keys. "Thank you," he whispered, his words tinged with sincerity.
