"Hey Youngjae do you wanna go to the club with me tonight?" Jaebum asked completely clueless to how the younger felt about him.

"Sure what time?"

In all honesty Youngjae didn't want to go, but if it made Jaebum happy he would sacrifice his feelings for the night. Just like he did every other night when the older came home with another hook up.

Jaebum told him the time they would go and Youngjae didn't say anything in response. He just nodded his head like an obedient little boy. Youngjae soon went to work after that conversation. Before entering the building the younger took a deep breath.

He had to remind himself not to let his coworkers get to him. No matter what they say or do act like it doesn't bother you; act like you dont care. Even though he acted like nothing would phase his bright smile every little comment affected him. Youngjae carried each and every negative criticism like it was a burden bestowed upon him from the devil himself. Behind that happy go lucky attitude and bright smile lied a broken boy secretly suffering.

After exhaling his deep breath Youngjae entered the building. The younger's emotionless face was soon replaced with a bright beaming smile that showed off his perfect teeth. Before starting his work Youngjae made sure to say hi to the secretary. She was in her mid thirties and was the only one who didn't say anything about him. Youngjae believed she was the only one that was nice in the workplace. The secretary greeted in return and gave him a bright smile as well.

When Youngjae reached his office he immediately shifted gears and began to finish a paper that was requested of him by his boss. By the time it was five in the afternoon Youngjae was finished with his paper and headed back home to go ready for the club. Before exiting the building the younger tripped over an object and he felt his knees smash into the solid floor. Youngjae winced in pain and already knew that his knees were going to be severely bruised from the impact.

A hand was placed in front of the younger male and when Youngjae looked up he saw a lady about to laugh. Youngjae gave her a bright smile before standing up on his own. His bright smile caised his coworker to be confused.

"Man I really need to be more careful, thank you for the help anyway," Youngjae thanked the lady acting like he was completely clueless.

Upon exiting the building he looked up at the sky and released a breath of air he didn't know he was holding. Youngjae made his way home, his face didn't have its same beaming smile as before. Instead it was back to its flat and emotionless self. On the inside he was crying, but he would never show that side of himself.

Soon he reached their apartment and Youngjae immediately began to get ready for the club. After showering the younger dressed into a red sweatshirt with black, ripped jeans and finally paired the look with white Nikes.

When Jaebum got home he changed into his outfit and they went to the club. Youngjae knew he was going to hate this as soon as he took one step into the club. Loud noises, bright lights, and drunk people everywhere. None of this screamed fun to the younger and he was already dreading this. As soon as they got inside they headed straight to the bar. Instead of getting alcohol like Jaebum he made due with a glass of water.

One after another Youngjae witnessed the older male drink all the alcohol. He was drunk and Youngjae knew it. Then Jaebum made his way to the dance floor and the younger instantly lost him in the crowd.

"So let me guess what happened here," The bartender started to strike  conversation with Youngjae.

"You were forced to join your pal that was drinking next to you and now he has abandoned you," The bartender finished his conclusion as to what had happened.

"Wow you're really good at guessing because that's exactly what happened," The younger admitted to the bartender that immediately started to chuckle.

"The names Jackson Wang," The bartender introduced himself.

"I'm Choi Youngjae," The younger introduced himseld in return to keep the train going.

They talked back and forth until Youngjae took a look at what time it was on his phone. He quickly said bye to his new friend and headed out of the club. And to his surprise guess what he saw. Well, it was the lack of what he saw that surprised him.

Jaebum had completely forgotten Youngjae at the club and left without him.

Soon a hand landed on Youngjae's shoulder. The younger turned around and to his surprise he saw Jackson who then lifted up the keys to his car.

"I had a feeling this would happen. Get into my car and I'll drop you off at your house," Jackson offered, the older male truly was a lifesaver.
