"You what?" Jeongin yelled as he walked into the dorm.
"I don't know it just sort of happened." Felix smiled as he followed the younger in side. Jisung heard them come in from the living room but didn't look to see or greet them. He was watching Howls Moving Castle but he wasn't paying much attention to that either. He was kinda just... staring out into space, thinking.
"Hey Sungie!" Jeongin stands behind the couch where Jisung sits and puts his hand on his shoulder. The boy flinches and brushes the hand off of him.
"Hey Jeongin hyung." Jisung mumbles. Jeongin smiles sheepishly.
"Guess what happened when Hyunjin and Felix went to a café this morning-" Jeongin is cut off when Felix runs over and places a hand on his mouth.
"Will you shut the fuck up?" Felix growled. Jeongin just smiled, laughing and pointing at the flustered boy. Jisung wanted to smile, but instead, he nodded and looked up at the TV. Howell was using magic to make two guards walk away. Jisung copied the magic hand movements that the man on screen used before going down to his phone. I pulled up instagram and began a mindless scroll.
"Hey you know what I just realized?" Felix removed his hand from Jeongin's mouth. "None of us have your number Ji." Jisung looked up. 'He's right, they don't' he quickly pulled up his contact app and clicked add contact, handing the phone out to the boys. Felix took it first, then passed it to Jeongin. When he was done a third hand reached out. The boys all looked up and found Minho outreaching his hand.
"What?" Minho took the phone from Jeongin and puts in his number. He paused before putting in his name. Handing it back to Jisung, he never put a title to the contact, he left that up to him.
"Thanks guys." Jisung offered a small half hearted smile.
"Hey so I know we just went to a party last night but a lot of people couldn't make it so Chan hyung is throwing another one tonight. Why don't we go?" Jeongin seems pretty excited to party two days in a row. Felix grinned and nodded at the idea. Minho shrugged and said "sure." Before walking away and back into his room.
"I don't know guys." Jisung looks down and picks at his cuticles. "I'm kinda tired." Jisung felt guilty for bailing but he didn't want to go out after the night before.
Felix's and Jeongin's phones go off and they both check the message. Their faces go from confused, to concerned, to horror, and then they look to Jisung.
"What?" Jisung is uncomfortable with the look he is getting from his hyungs. "What I do?"
"What did you do?" Felix almost yelled.
"Yea, did I do something wrong?"
Felix marched over to Jisung, who was preparing for a scream fest. But instead, Felix pulled Jisung off the couch into a hug.
"Wha-" Jisung stops when he feels his shoulder begin to get wet. "Oh my god are you crying?" Jeongin walks over and hugs Jisung from behind. "Ok, what is going on?"
"I'm so sorry you had to go through that. He is an absolute dick and he will be shunned." Jeongin spoke from his spot behind him.
"How- who told you."
"Chan texted the group chat. He said you got harassed by some Park Jin guy." Felix sniffed.
"Guys, I'm fine." Jisung showed a weak smile. Felix pulled away just enough to see his face.
"That is the most forced smile I have ever seen." Jisung sighs and dropped the act.
"Ok, I'm not that great. But it's nothing serious." He pulled away from the two boys' hugs. "I'll be ok." Jeongin and Felix looked at each other, clearly not convinced.
"Come to the party. I think it will cheer you up. It always cheers Hyunjin up." Felix shrugged.
"Oh does it?" Jeongin looks at Felix with a smug and knowing look.
"Shut up." Felix elbowed him.
"Ow." Jeongin pouted playfully. Jisung sighs.
"I'll go. Just to shut both of you up." Felix crossed his arms.
"Rude." He tried to hide a smile.
"What time does it start?" Jisung folded his arms.
"A few hours." Felix said. "Hyunjin, Changbin, Chan, and Seungmin are all coming back from the arcade before hand though so we should get ready, like, now." They all went there separate ways to prepare. Felix went to his dorm to do so. Jisung walked into the living room wearing a white button up and black ripped jeans.
"Um, that is not an outfit for this occasion." Jeongin scoffed. "Let me lend you some clothes." Jisung wanted to protest but before he knew it Jeongin was pressing clothes into his hands. So he changed into them. Jisung wasn't completely comfortable in what he had been given, but it seemed like party wear and he didn't have the energy to argue. So for the second time, he walked into the living room. This time he wore a partly transparent black mesh shirt, a black jacket, and black pants. Jeongin had also given him some jewelry to go with it. So Jisung was cover in silver accents. "Now that's how you dress for a party." Jeongin seemed proud. Soon Minho walked out in his own party outfit. He wore a purple velvet button up and black slacks. He had gold jewelry like a small chain necklace, rings, and small hoops on his ears. Jisung could stare at him all day, he never saw someone in such an attractive outfit. But when Minho wore it, somehow he made it ten times better.
Changbin opens the door to the dorms before Minho can see Jisung staring.
"Sorry it took so long for me to get home, I couldn't leave before a saw Hyunjin beat Chan in a dance game. You should have seen it! Hyunjin was amazing!" Immediately after blurting this out, Changbin ran to get ready in his room. Minutes later, the rest of the group came into the dorm, all wearing various outfits that showed off their physique. They all looked amazing. Once Changbin walked back in, the conversation sparked. Everyone was laughing or talking about something. But Jisung stayed quiet. He laughed at some things, but he never contributed to the conversation. He was to mentally drained. He needed a quick release.
"I'll be right back, gotta hit the toilet before we go." Jisung excused himself and went off to the bathroom in the room he and Minho shared. That's where he kept the blade.
