"To the shitty working life!"Booseoksoon shouted
"Yeah, cheers to that!" others cheered them
"Drink up, guys!"
Jeonghan laughed and downed half of the pint along with the rest of the group. It was good to see friends from high school, even though not all of them had kept in constant touch. It was even better to do so in a crowded, bustling Pojangmacha with comfort food and ample alcohol.
The conversation turned to bitching about having to grow up and becoming members of the workforce. No more skipping classes because of a hangover and wearing crummy jeans because they were too lazy to do laundry. These days, it was all about showing up at work on time despite a hangover and panicking when one was down to the last clean undershirt.
"How's it going with your job hyung?" woozi asked.
"I quite like it," Jeonghan confessed sheepishly.
He was currently in the production team for the publication house which hired him. He loved the process of putting everything together to get a book published, from ensuring that the proofreading was done to the design of the cover. His boss was strict but fair. His teammates, bar a couple of exceptions, were decent people too.
"You gotta be kidding me hyung." vernon mumbled
"Bet he's got admirers at work." wonwoo teased
"That's not-" Jeonghan started when someone called out.
"Cheol hyung and yo-?" before seokmin finishes seungkwan interrupt him
"Yeah! I Bet HE got admirers at work too."
"I was going to say that they are-" seokmin tried again.
"Jeonghan hyung, Someone told me he's going out with a....... rich heiress." dino yell while finishing the 5th bottle
"No way. That's bullshit."mingyu said while pushing clingy wasted hoshi away
Jeonghan bristled. "That's rubbish. Actually me and seungcheo-"
"He's right. Cheol hyung probably got multiple Boyfriends." Hoshi joined dino
"Or Girlfriend's. he's bi." Dino again mumbled
Jeonghan had enough and exclaimed loudly. "I am living with him You idiots!!"
There was stunned silence. Just when he thought he got his point across however...
"WHAT!!" they all shouted except joshua and seokmin who already know about the reunion of jeongcheol
"Come on, tell us!"
"yes hyung"
"since when?!"
"and who's paying rent you or him?!"
"and did he hurt you or something?!"
"How can you stay again with your ex, hyung?!"
all of them bombarded jeonghan,He could hear Joshua's and seokmin's muffled laughter. He wanted to strangle both of them, who were enjoying this just a little too much at his expense.
"No, Y'all are wasted I will tell you when you all are in your sense," Jeonghan responded with gritted teeth. "I meant-"
"Give hyung a break, guys.." wonwoo said and push others away from jeonghan
"Alright, alright." everyone get back to their seat and resume their drinking party
Jeonghan gave up and closed his eyes in exasperation.
