+++++

Jeno invited Jaemin and Renjun and, after a lot of convincing, Jisung. Renjun invited Chenle.

[observation]

The day the party rolled around all the boys gathered at Haechans house. The atmosphere was tense with Jisungs presence but they were all still buzzing with excitement.
"Renjun did you invite anyone?"

"Yeah my friend Chenle. He's on the way I checked." Haechan and Jisung choked on their drinks.

"Chenle?!"

"Zhong Chenle?! As in the Zhong Chenle?!" Haechan coughed out his sentence, still recovering from choking seconds earlier.

"Sure. Can we just go pick him up? We wouldn't want to be late." Renjun adjusted his scarf and frowned. Haechan scoffed and tugged on his boots.

Jeno hung back and walked side by side with Jisung. "You alright?"

"Of course not. I'm not gonna complain though. Hopefully this will give me a chance to apologize." Jisung shoved his hands in his pockets and kicked at a small pile of leaves.

"At least you're looking on the brightside."

"There is no brightside when you're me." Jeno put an arm around Jisungs shoulders and gave a sympathetic smile.

They arrived at Chenles house and Renjun went up to the door. Chenle opened the door with a bright smile on his face. He glanced at Jisung and it quickly turned into a frown.
"I didn't invite him so don't be mad at me." Renjun defended himself. Chenle didn't say a word as he pulled his scarf a little tighter around his neck.

"Come on! We're gonna be late! Get a move on!" Haechan started dragging Jaemin down the street and huffed. The others did their best to keep up all the way to Marks house.

+++++

It was fucking chaos. The party had only started twenty minutes before they arrived but people were already horribly drunk. Someone was using pickup lines on a lamp. There was a sock on the closet door. It was only six pm.

"Haechan! You finally made it!" Mark pushed his way past the mass of people watching someone play Mario Kart. They weren't winning. Mark slung an arm over the younger boys shoulders and smiled. "Are these your friends?"

"Yeah. That's Jeno, Jaemin, Renjun, Chenle, and Jisung." They all waved and started going their separate ways.

"Before you go, Have fun. If you don't drink there's juice in the freezer. If you feel overwhelmed at some point the shed in the backyard is always open. Granted, there might be someone fucking in there but the offer still stands." Mark furrowed his brows as he thought about the access to the shed. He took Haechan away with him and the boys were officially alone. They didn't recognize anyone else and they probably weren't old enough to be doing what everyone else was doing. But were they gonna try their damnedest to fit in? Of course.

Jaemin had girls practically falling for him on the spot. One girl actually fell. He didn't seem to mind and it looked like he was flirting back at some point. Jeno was next in line to play Mario Kart and Renjun was helping out with drinks. No one asked him to but nobody was gonna tell him to stop. Haechan and Mark were already making out in a blind spot down the hall while Chenle and Jisung awkwardly stood in a corner.

"Chenle I'm-"

"Don't. I've tried to talk to you countless times and you think the first time you see me face to face in a month is the right time to apologize you're a fucking idiot. If you needed time to think you should've let me know and not left me in the dark. I thought you had dropped me and that we'd never speak again so I tried to talk to you about it and try to fix it myself but you had another tantrum and pushed me away. If you're apologizing that's perfectly fine just don't be an asshole anymore." Chenle was too upset to pay attention to the words coming out of his mouth.

"Can we talk somewhere quieter?"

"Why is it cause you don't wanna be seen with me? Don't want to get caught talking to a gay kid right?" Chenle crossed his arms and rolled his eyes.

"I just want us to be able to actually hear each other. It's loud. Please hear me out?"

"Fine." Chenle followed Jisung out back by the pool. It was cold out so no one was outside besides them. "Talk."

"I've taken a lot of time to think and reflect on myself as a person and I'm so sorry. You know I'm really insecure an unsure of a lot of things but that's no excuse for me to act the way I did. You're my best friend and I've become a mess without you." Chenle shivered. "Are you cold? Take my jacket." Before the older boy could protest Jisung wrapped his coat around him.

"Have you been eating properly?" Chenle eyed Jisungs body and frowned.

"Didn't have a reason to." Chenles face softened and Jisung messed with his hands.

"I forgive you. Please take care of yourself. I'm sorry."

"You have nothing to be sorry about. I was being the worst and I pushed you away. I'm so sorry."

"I told you I forgive you lameo. And if it makes you uncomfortable I won't talk about being gay that often. I'm still gonna bring it up because it's a part of who I am but I'll try my best to stay within the lines."

"I never thought you'd forgive me. Hug it out?" Jisung threw his arms out.

"Hug me bro!" Chenle returned the action and the stayed in each other's arms for a while. "Can we hangout? Like just us?"

"Of course. We can go back to yours."

"Mario Kart?"

"Hell yeah."
