minghao

we were going to play laser tag today. i was excited but also dreading it, the thought of just seeing junhui again was enough to try find an excuse to get out of it but i wasn't going to. i wouldn't let him ruin my day.

i walked out of my room and was met with a wolf whistle from mingyu.
"damn, if the greasy guy hit on you in your work clothes then just imagine what he'll be like today." i smacked mingyu across the back of his head for his comment. i hadn't even dressed that well, i was only wearing a black turtleneck sweater, leather jacket and ripped jeans. the only colour in my outfit was my bright red hair. you were always told to wear dark colours during lazer tag as it would help you hide but then they gave you these light up suits that would notify where you were from the other side of the room.

"are we ready to go?" i asked, sitting down beside mingyu. he was also dressed in all black
"as soon as wonwoo gets here we can head off." as if on cue the doorbell to our apartment rang and mingyu jumped up like an excited puppy, racing to the door to greet his boyfriend. i waited to hear mingyu's squealing voice as he greeted his boyfriend but instead he said something else, "oh! hi guys. what are you doing here?"

i headed towards the front door to see what was going on and saw soonyoung and chan standing at the door and behind them was jeonghan and seungcheol? what was he doing here? was this the guy jeonghan had asked to invite? chan spotted me and waved, "hi minghao!"
"hi chan, what are you guys doing here?"
"seungcheol's car broke down as we were on the way to laser tag and you were the closest to where we broke down so we were wondering if you'd take us with you there?" soonyoung asked, widening his eyes at me in some sort of pleading face.
"can't you take the train?" mingyu asked.
"please?" jeonghan asked, then turned his attention to me, "minghao?" it was as if he knew i couldn't say no to him.
"sure!" i said, earning myself a smile for the four.
"uh, minghao. are you forgetting that wonwoo's car can only fit five people? not seven?" mingyu asked, giving me a look.
"don't worry! chan and i will get in the boot and if anyone asks, we're ikea furniture!" soonyoung said, giving us the thumbs up.

as soon as wonwoo got here mingyu explained the situation. surprisingly he seems pretty chill with it and we all went out to get into his car. wonwoo sat in the driver's seat, mingyu sat in the passengers seat, jeonghan, seuncheol and i sat in the back and chan and soonyoung curled up into the boot. i was seated in the middle and felt my cheeks redden every time i accidentally bumped into jeonghan as we drove.

when we got to the laser tag place we all got out before helping chan and soonyung untangled themselves out of the boot, not before taking a picture of their awkward positioning to use as blackmail at a later date. we walked into the building where we would be playing laser tag and i spotted everyone else nearly straight away. it was kind of shocking how such a small amount of people were there, i guess it was because it's a weekday. hansol, joshua and seungkwan were there as well as a couple of other guys. i looked around and met eyes with, unfortunately, junhui. he winked at me and made him was over to hansol, joshua and seungkwan, i guessed notifying them of my presence as they looked over a me and waved me over.

"minghao! hi!" hansol grinned at me, bringing me into a big hug. out of the corner of my eye during the hug i could see seungkwan glaring at me but chose to ignore it.
"guys, come meet minghao and his friends!" joshua called out to the others before starting to introduce them.
"this is minghao and minghao this is seokmin and jihoon. minghao's friends, i'm joshua, this is hansol, seungkwan and junhui."
"this is mingyu, wonwoo, jeonghan, seungcheol, soonyoung and chan." everyone exchanged slhtly awkward greetings.

"is that the greasy guy?" mingyu whispered to me, singling gesturing to junhui who wouldn't stop checking me out.
"yep." i replied.
"he's kind of hot." wonwoo whispered into my ear and both mingyu and i turned to look at him, confused. "what? i'm just saying. it doesn't change the fact that he's gross."

"we're running short one person because he couldn't make it so the teams will have to be uneven." hansol explained.
"we're only running short because you forgot to ask samuel until yesterday but you know he would have school anyway." seungkwan retorted.
"speaking of school why aren't you at school chan?" i said, turning to chan who gave me finger guns and a sheepish smile in return. "lee chan! when i told you all those stories of when i was a rebel back in my school days i didn't mean for them to be an example for you to follow!"
"you were a rebel? that's hot." junhui said, now standing next to me.
"choke."
"gladly if it's on your dick."
