Red String of Fate (Taekook AU)

Spin off 1: Dance with the Devil - final

MAY 2045, 38 years earlier

Few weeks later, just before Minji's birthday, they all decided to chill a bit and have some fun. They went to a club.

They were sitting by the table talking about different things. They mainly wanted to take Jin out because he was really overworking himself this time and he was stressing about everything.

'I want to drop out of the dorms next semester. When I think about all of it, will it just be easier.'

'About what?'

'I'm starting an internship. Namjoon too at school and as the university professor assistant. And all his activities will just shorten our time. Being bound by the night-hour at dorms is also inconvenient. And studying sometimes too. I need more space and freedom.' Jin sighed, and sipped his drink.

'You want to leave me?' Hoseok whined.

'Yeah, I am thinking about you as well! That's why it is hard to find something suitable!' Jin huffed. 'The whole apartment is out of budget. I found one place, but still there is a risk we will end up living with some strange people...' he sulked.

'What place?' Minji asked.

'It is also a student accommodation kinda thing. It is a huge apartment rebuilt to have a kitchen with open living space. There are 5 separately rented rooms there. It is comfortable because each room has its own bathroom. But still! I would have to share the kitchen with people I don't know!' He pulled out the phone and showed them the pictures. 'They have two twin rooms and three single rooms. Imagine cleaning the kitchen after 4 unknown pigs...' he sighed. 'I want peace, not more problems...'

'I told you not to stress over it, Jin...' Namjoon kissed Jin's shoulder. 'We will find something...'

'But isn't this perfect?' Baekhyun frowned. 'How much is it?'

'15% more than the dorm... But I am telling you...'

Minji caught Baekhyun's drift.

'What if we all move in?' she suggested.

Bora started to choke on her drink.

'I'm not sharing a room with you again!' she said.

Minji glared at her.

'Hey! If Namjin will take one twin room we will have to share the other one!'

'No way! Share with Hobi!'

'Do you want dad to kill me?! It will be hard to convince him even now!' she rolled her eyes.

'What is the fight about?' Baekhyun frowned. 'Chan and I can take the second twin room...'

Chanyeol's eyes slowly drifted to him.

'We can?'

'Yes, we can!' Baekhyun huffed.

'We know you are on an unsealing basis, but maybe not on the stage of a relationship?' Namjoon suggested carefully.

Baekhyun, flushed from alcohol cheeks, squinted his eyes at Chanyeol.

'We aren't?'

'Well, we already tried unsealing because you wanted to know our power. So you can be more effective in MOI units... And then you convince me to join. But...'

Baekhyun grabbed Chanyeol's collar and pulled him down. He kissed him. Chanyeol was a bit taken aback.

'Now we are on the stage?' Baekhyun asked with an intense curiosity in his face.

'Baekhyun...' Chanyeol tried to think rationally. 'We are not even in a relationship yet...' he reminded him calmly.

'Can't we be?' Baekhyun blinked.
