Puppy Love • Seungchan/Chanmin

•⊱•••• 21 ••••⊰•

Seungmin was drunk. Absolutely lost his marbles drunk.

How did Chan know his almost boyfriend had had one too many?

Well for starters Seungmin had wiggled his way to the front of the stage, and cheered exceptionally vocally and loudly...during a ballad. Not only were his cheers out of place but considering he'd expressed his nerves before entering the building, and had been trying to hide in the stairwell to avoid meeting his friends earlier, Chan highly doubted the drastic change in behaviour was of his own logical freewill.

Secondly it was the guilty look on Younghyun's face. Chan hadn't missed the two chatting by the bar. Being his closest friend, Chan assumed Younghyun had spared the boy of his drinking habits and that he'd look after him. But evidently Seungmin had become yet another victim, and thus Younghyun was visibly at a loss as he tried to muffle Seungmin's out of place cheers.

But lastly, and most pressingly, what had given Seungmin away was the fact that he had screamed "THAT'S MY BOYFRIEND!" at the top of his lungs at the end of their band's set before promptly emptying his guts at the foot of the stage.

Chan had never seen the crowd disperse so quickly.

Embarrassment had drowned him for the briefest of moments before the gentleman in him took over. Next thing he knew he was off the stage, wrapping Seungmin into his jacket and whisking him out the back door with Yuto's help.

The bouncer barely batted an eyelash as they pulled Seungmin outside and into the cool night's air. Yuto pointed to a ledge, and together they helped Seungmin to sit down, rubbing his back gently as Younghyun, followed by the rest of their friends, came dashing their way.

"What the fuck?" Chan growls, pointedly at Younghyun and then at the rest of his guilty friends.

Younghyun wasn't the only one who liked to drink, and Chan hadn't missed the shots they'd done, or the drinks that kept being delivered to their table before the set.

Vernon comes out from the side door, rushing to Seungmin with a bottle of water and Matthew on his heels.

Chan looks between Younghyun, Seungkwan, Daniel and Subin. "Well?"

Seungmin heaves and Chan cringes, but he doesn't look knowing his bandmates were with him.

Chan looks at Seungkwan, "You brought him down here first, I assumed of all people you'd look after him yet you left him as soon as your favourite song hit. It didn't even look like you asked him if he wanted to come"

Seungkwan looks at his feet, "Sorry"

"Daniel, Subin, don't think I missed you both waving the bartender down for drinks either, before promptly ditching Min for the dance floor. I may have been up on stage but I'm not blind, neither of you even looked back at Seungmin before you were bounding after Seungkwan."

"Sorry" Daniel pouts.

"Sorry Chan," Subin sighs.

"-and Younghyun, I assume the icing on the cake was thanks to you? Knowing your alcohol tolerance, could you not see that maybe you went a bit overboard? Surely some part of your brain was telling you that you were going too far. Seungmin's 18, and yeah, he can make his own choices so I'll talk to him about that later, but surely all of you, not just Younghyun should have realised that you were overloading him? I'm sure you could all see he was nervous. I didn't expect you to baby him, but I know you guys, you all look after each other, you look after me, so why did no one think to look out for Seungmin?"

"I didn't mean to get him drunk, Chan, but he's special to you and I wanted to help him feel included-"

"So you kept buying him drinks and got him drunk?"
