YUNHO

yunhos heart was practically jumping out of his chest as he drove.

mingi looked so good, yunho didn't know that the boy could look even better than before he left.

the thing yunho instantly noticed was mingis build. a year ago mingi wasn't terribly skinny but he didn't have much muscle on him. now though, boy was he something. yunhos hand probably couldn't even wrap around mingis bicep while flexing. and his hair and glasses? god yunho was so sickly in love.

he had to suppress his initial shock and be normal, since he didn't want to make things awkward.

"i heard you majored in pre-med." mingi said, breaking the silence.

yunho glanced over at mingi then back at the highway.

"yeah, you said i'd be a good doctor." yunho shrugged.

"i did." mingi nodded.

a beat passed.

yunho spoke again, not wanting the silence to deepen. "so what're you gonna do? school wise, i mean."

mingi hummed. "i want to take a gap year because im not really sure what i want to do."

yunho nodded, "that's understandable."

"how has everyone been? what are they doing?" mingi asked, munching on the gummy worms yunho had bought him when they stopped for gas.

"mmh, joong works as a producer for a big music company, seonghwa is a model for a starter fashion company, yeosang is studying to become a teacher, san works as a barista and fitness trainer, wooyoungs doing culinary school and works as a private chef, and jonghos gonna be in an upcoming movie as the bestfriend of the lead." yunho said.

"woaaahhh thats so cool!!" mingi exclaimed, genuinely excited for his friends and their lives.

after twenty more minutes yunho finally rolled into the dorm parking lot. once the car was parked, they got out and yunho insisted on carrying mingis luggage's up.

once once on the third floor, they walked down the hall until reaching door 92. yunho slid his key into the lock, then opened the door.

"go ahead" yunho motioned for mingi to go inside.

"but its dark.." mingi muttered as he walked inside.

yunho closed the door behind them and then rainbow lights flicked on.

"welcome back!!!" everyone cheered.

yunho smiled as he watching mingis petrified face immediately turn into a wide smile.

wooyoung held a cake that looked so fucking delicious, behind everyone was a 'welcome home' banner taped up on the wall. there was balloons and confetti all over the floor as well.

"all right let's turn this shit up!! we're drinking tonight!!" mingi and wooyoung cheered.



yunho leaned against the bar and sighed, downing his drink.

even after a year it was impossible for yunho to possibly forget about everything.

the guilt swarmed his thoughts and enveloped his senses.

seeing mingi was breathtaking, but at the same time, hard. harder than yunho thought it would've been.

he tried and prepared himself as best he could, taking advice from the small amount random strangers online that didn't tell him he was a dick after confiding on reddit.

yunho sighed, "another please." he said to the bartender who nodded.

"you okay?"

yunho didn't have to look up to know who it was.

"im fine san, why aren't you dancing with woo?" yunho hummed.

san laughed, "you know he gets loud when he gets drunk. i can't keep up with the way he drinks."

yunho snorted, "you're a severe lightweight."

"yeah yeah, what about you? why aren't you over there?" san gestured to the dance floor where everyone was laughing and dancing.

yunho shrugged, "don't feel like it." he said.

san turned around to face the bartender that came back with yunhos drink.

"can i get three shots of vodka?" san asked.

the woman nodded and went off.

"three? dude your already pink." yunho said.

"not for me, for you." san hummed and grabbed yunhos beer, then sipped it and hissed.

the woman promptly came back with three shot glasses.

"san, i can't do three." yunho said.

"fine, i'll do one but your doing the rest." san huffed.

the two raised the glass, clinked them, then downed it.

"shit." yunho hissed as he put the glass down and let out a deep breath.

"i hate vodka." san sighed.

"then why take it?" yunho said after taking the second shot.

"it was for you, it'll kick in faster. you need to enjoy this moment, mingi is back and he wouldn't want you sulking over the past—now let's go." san dragged yunho into the crowd.

for once, yunho believed he deserved some fun, at least a little.

ten minutes later yunho realized san wasn't lying about that vodka kicking in quickly because soon, after his fourth shot he was out of it.

so out of it that he didn't realize that he had found himself out dancing with mingi without a care in the world.

so out of it that he didn't realize he wasn't dancing with mingi anymore—but on mingi.

so out of it that he didn't realize he and mingi had gotten lost in the crowd and danced all on each other like it was only the two of them in that moment.

so out of it that he didn't even realize they were suddenly in the bathroom clawing and gripping at each other while kissing like it was their last day on earth.

so out of it that it didn't register when the door opened and seonghwa stood there wide eyed.

but even as seonghwa quickly ran out and mingi panted then pulled away, yunho still didn't understand why, but he needed more.

"mingi-ya?" yunho breathed, forehead pressed against the cool painted wall.

"yeah?"

"let's fuck."
