Winter Falls [7]

Jeongin is nervous to say at least. He has been going back and forth in front of a bar Felix said the meet up will be at, overthinking if he should go in or not. This is unimaginably stupid and Jeongin knows he will feel so out of place in their friend group.

For god's sake, his ex is here with his new boyfriend, who is a childhood friend of a very famous writer, who happens to be Jeongin's friend's boyfriend. How complicated is this? Not to even think about Seungmin and his whole thing with that girl Yuki.

After half an hour of thinking and nervously going back and forth, Jeongin finally works up the nerve to step inside.

He pushes the door open, the noise hits him, the overwhelming energy of the bar. People minding their business, as his heart races, searching the crowd and quickly spotting Felix and the group at the table.

This was a terrible idea, but it's too late now. Felix already sees him.

"Jeongin! Over here!" Felix calls, waving excitedly with both hands, a wide grin plastered on his face.

Instantly, all eyes are on Jeongin.

"Oh, this guy!" Jisung shouts, slamming his glass on the table. "Come sit with us before you change your mind again."

Jeongin wonders if Jisung even knows that he's Minho's ex. Otherwise, why would he be so nice to him? Jeongin swallows hard, but he forces himself to move forward.

As he gets closer, Seungmin locks eyes with him and Jeongin feels his breath hitch underneath that sharp gaze, playful.

"Look who finally made it," Seungmin says smoothly, his voice full of amusement. "Took you long enough."

"Yeah... traffic."

"Hmmm," Seungmin hums, standing up from his seat slowly. He steps in close and tilts his head, eyes never leaving Jeongin's.

"You look nervous, Jeongin." His voice is low, teasing. "Am I making you nervous?"

Jeongin shifts, "No."

"Liar." Seungmin whispers, his breath warm against Jeongin's ear. He chuckles, the sound soft as he walks beside him, to the bar to get drinks.

Jeongin's eyes now fall on the friend group and he notices Minho rolling his eyes as he hands Jisung a dollar. His boyfriend laughs loudly, "told you."

"So, when are we dancing?" Felix asks after Jeongin finally takes a seat beside him.

"I'm not drunk enough." Jisung answers and reaches for his glass, then he pauses for a second. "Wait, why is Hyunjin not here?"

Felix's laugh falls flat, as everyone's attention falls on him, then he forces a smile. "He was too tired to tag along."

"Oh, no!" Changbin yells, "are you guys still fighting? Was it a break up worthy fight? Felix, what are you doing?"

"It's sad that Hyunjin didn't get to see that you would have this kind of reaction about their break up." Chan chuckles, making Jisung laugh quietly.

Felix looks down at his hands, "I'm not sure, but right now, let's just have fun."

"Yeji won't be joining us either then." Chan remarks out of nowhere nonchalantly, but as soon as he notices that everyone's looking at him confused, he continues. "Hyunjin would probably need to talk to her and ask for advice. That man can never think for himself."

Felix smiles a little, but then he turns to Jeongin. "Drink up, you're dancing with me in a little. And flirt with Seungmin for fuck's sake, I came up with whole party idea for you two after all."
