"Oh, by the way Youngjae..." Yugyeom suddenly spoke up. Youngjae ripped his earphones out immediately in order to hear what he had to say. He looked up from his phone, a sign that he was listening. "...Guess what."

"You lost your virginity?" Youngjae joked. It was obvious that this wasn't the case though, as Yugyeom began to laugh loudly. Of course it wouldn't be, after all he promised that he won't do so until he's 18.

"No," He said, chuckling one last time. "Not yet but actually... I got a date today!" Yugyeom smiled. He smiled so wide that his cheekbones were visible. Sure, it made Youngjae happy, but he couldn't help but to feel a bit jealous too. He was his best friend after all.

It was only natural that he was worried that he may forget about him. Youngjae knew Yugyeom though and he knew him well enough to be sure that this won't be the case. His anxiety was probably just stubborn again.

"Oh really? That's great!" The surprise was clearly showing in Youngjaes voice. He honestly thought that it would take way longer for Yugyeom to find someone again. Sure, he may have dated some guys before. However, Yugyeom was never really into it. Not only was he handsome, but also picky as hell. Judging by his smile though, there was a high possibility that he was something special. Cute.

"So who's the lucky guy?" Youngjae asked and Yugyeom looked like he already expected this question.

"You'll find out soon enough." Yugyeom answered and winked at the other boy. He could only sigh in annoyance. What a typical Yugyeom thing to do. Now he had to endure his curiosity for god knows how long, thanks to his best friend. In the end he probably didn't even knew that guy anyways, so why make that big of a deal out of it?

"I'm goind to go in about three hours. I probably won't be back for the night either if everything goes well, so you'll be alone for today. Sorry about that." He said. Yugyeom of course felt guilty about it. Saturday were usually meant for them. It were those days where the two friends would either go out or just hang out at home, but Youngjae just waved it off.

"Don't worry about me." Youngjae gave him a reassuring smile. "Just enjoy your date. Don't forget to tell how it went tomorrow though."

This time it was his turn to wink. Youngjae couldn't help but to feel a bit disappointed, but well, he had to accept it. Yugyeom was his friend after all and friends support each other. Right?

Youngjae felt lonely and bored as soon as his roomate disappeared through the front door. He tried to kill some time by playing games on his phone, watching TV, listening to music but nothing seemed to work. Something was missing. He sighed. It really was impossible for him to go one day without Yugyeom wasn't it?

After half a hour of doing nothing, an idea struck through the boys head. An idea that was probably bad. He stared at the phone beside him on the bed for about a minute before he took it into his hands. The boy sighed, tapped on the icon of his messages and opened the chat between him and the stranger. This was a mistake wasn't it? The still empty area suggested Youngjae to write a text. He was hesitating.

But what if everything would go well? Maybe that frustrating, uncomfortable feeling of being alone would finally vanish? He doubted it.

But well, what do people these days say? Right. You only live once.

He was about to put his phone away after he send the guy a short message. Youngjae excepted it to be minutes, hours to receive an answer. He almost threw the device to the other side of the room though, once it vibrated after just 10 seconds. Creepy.

Umm Hey? Is this some kinda prank? Am I dreaming? You didn't just text me first did you?

Youngjae
