Zitao had a headache.

He didn't know whether to blame it on the deafening music or the flashing lights. All he knew was that he was fine before he had entered the club and now he was stuck with a migraine from Hell. He shouldn't have let Baekhyun and Sehun drag him here.

He literally spent the last hour leaning up against a wall to try to avoid sweaty drunks grinding on him. He still got hit on several times, but he managed to scare off his admirers with a glare.

Tao didn't know why his friends had insisted he come out with them, especially since they had separated instantly upon arriving. He would sometimes catch a glimpse of Sehun dancing or Baekhyun flirting off in the distance but that was it. To make matters worse, he lived on the opposite side of town and he couldn't leave since he had gotten a ride from Sehun.

"Oh my gosh Tao! You'll never believe what I have to tell you!" a familiar voice called out to him.

Tao turned to see an ecstatic looking Baekhyun waltzing towards him, drink in hand.

"Are we finally going to leave?" Tao asked hopefully.

"What? No. We just got here."

Tao sighed in defeat. He knew it was going to be a long night.

Baekhyun snapped his fingers a few centimeters away from Tao's face to get his attention. "This is important Tao! I need you to be my wingman."

"What?"

"I spotted a hottie at the bar. I'm pretty sure this one is actually gay too!" Baekhyun explained happily.

"That's great, but you know I can't be your wingma-" Tao started but was interrupted before he could finish his sentence.

"DON'T bring up him again. I don't care how badly he hurt you in the past, because it happened five years ago! You need to move on" Baekhyun said, and Tao knew there was no point arguing with him. Still, he had to try.

"Why can't Sehun do it?"

"Do you honestly think you were my first choice?" Baekhyun scoffed.

The comment earned the older male a harsh look from the blonde.

"Sehun is in a dance battle right now and I didn't want to interrupt. But really Tao, it's not a big deal. I just need you to distract the guy with him. You don't need to do anything sexual, unless you want to."

"I don't know..."

Noticing his friend's uncertainty, Baekhyun quickly pulled out his secret weapon--the puppy dog eyes.

"Pwease Taozi~?" he begged cutely.

Needless to say, Tao caved. He then found himself being dragged through the crowd by the brunet. On their way to the bar, Tao tried his best to not get too annoyed by constantly being bumped into. It was almost impossible for him to accomplish that when he felt a hand lightly grope his backside, but he somehow found a way.

Eventually the bar came into view, and the pair sat down. After ordering two drinks, Baekhyun pointed his target out to Tao. The man was tall with dark brown hair and large ears. He was handsome but not his type. The one next to him was also attractive with darker skin and brown hair. Something about them seemed familiar to Tao...

When the bartender came back with the drinks, Baekhyun told him to give them to the two boys instead.

"Are you ready?" he asked Tao with an excited expression.

He didn't answer his friend though. He was too busy trying to control his nerves. He was really shy and he was worried that he would screw up the plan. Baekhyun gave him a reassuring pat on the back right before the two boys walked over to them.

"Thanks for the drinks", the tall one said.

"Oh it was nothing" Baekhyun replied with a wave of his hand.

The tall one smiled at that, "My name's Chanyeol and this is Kai," he said, gesturing towards the man standing next to him.

Tao tensed up next to Baekhyun, and his friend definitely noticed because he gave him a weird look. He did know them. He went to highschool with the two. He had never actually talked to either of them, but he knew that the pair was very close with a certain someone. They were almost always together.

"I'm Baekhyun and this is Tao" the brunet continued the conversation with a charming smile.

"Tao?" a deep voice questioned from behind.

The sound sent shivers down the blonde's spine. He gripped onto Baekhyun suddenly. "We need to leave now!" he desperately whispered to his friend.

"What? Why?" the brunet whispered back.

Before he could answer his friend, a giant built like a god, but with the face of an angel, came into view. He had big brown eyes and dirty blond hair. He looked more manly than he did in high school, but Tao could recognize him anywhere.

Tao found himself conflicted at the sight of him. Part of him wanted to run his fingers through his perfect hair and just get lost in his eyes. The more rational part of him wanted to run away as fast as his legs could carry him.

Instead, Zitao found himself staring dumbly at the newcomer.

Subconsciously he whispered one last thing to Baekhyun.

"Kris."
