"Hyung? Why did you brought me here? I hate noisy places, you knew it right??" Chanhee stared at the place in disbelief.

The place had a huge signboard with decorative, capital letters spelling MOONWALKER with striking exclamation mark at the end. Loud EDM music was blasting from the speakers which made Chanhee flinched.

Not enough with that, Hyunjae dragged him to every places. From the arcade games until the adventures, Hyunjae was really forcing Chanhee to have fun.

Instead of fun, Chanhee was damn terrified. Like now, Chanhee was forced to do rock climbing. Hyunjae finished way faster than him and it left Chanhee alone, struggling to climb down.

"Hyung! This is not fair! Why are you doing this to me?" Chanhee yelled in between his breaths. He felt like dying after two activities and now his legs were trembling.

It was his fault to look down from the peak when he was acrophobia. He huffed a relieved sigh when he was about to take his last step - that was when he did not closely look where to step and ended up slipping.

He was caught in an embrace of someone with familiar scent just about time to fall. He turned, his gut was right.

"Juyeon?"

Juyeon warmly smiled at Chanhee. It could be his smile that Chanhee always admired him for - always looking warm and safe.

But now his smile was indeed warm but it looked weak and cold. There was regret and sadness in his eyes, Chanhee had fucked up so bad.

"Sorry," Chanhee muttered and Juyeon pushed him away gently before returning to Younghoon.

"Uhm, I am going there." Juyeon cleared his throat, he paced forward and disappeared in the midst of people.

"Chanhee, are you alright?" Hyunjae apologetically sweated it out of his own action to force Chanhee doing things he disliked.

Chanhee responded with a small smile while taking the safety gears off.

"Let's go to eat, my treat!" Hyunjae was already halfway to the nearest cafe when he hollered. Younghoon was behind him, seemed to go to find Juyeon and his cousin.

Changmin approached Chanhee and embraced his shoulder while whispering.

"That was the Juyeon that you always rambled to me, right?"

Chanhee nodded again.

Changmin snapped his fingers. "Ugh, I should've recognized him faster!" Changmin sighed. "He is good-looking as expected. Ahhh, he is kind too!" Changmin clasped both of his hands and swooned over how attractive Juyeon was and how he was a hero when he saved Chanhee. Although in the end he muttered that he preferred someone else.

Chanhee was sure he heard Younghoon name being mentioned however he pretended to not hear it.




Chanhee and Changmin found Hyunjae sat with Younghoon. Jacob and Kevin were also present with them before Sangyeon joined them alone.

"Uh, where is the boys?" Changmin hovered around since Haknyeon, Sunwoo and Juyeon were nowhere to be seen.

Sangyeon shrugged. "Juyeon is with them. Don't worry, they listen to him well. Right, Chanhee?"

Sangyeon gave Chanhee an earnest smile while Chanhee choked on his water. He was close to spit it on Hyunjae's face' luckily Chanhee grabbed the towel faster.

"Yes..." Chanhee hiccuped, he spilled some water on the table but Jacob kindly wiped it.

Sangyeon was peering to Jacob, eyeing him on every actions he made. Hyunjae was the first to realize but Kevin cut it to the chase.

"I think love is in the air."

Younghoon spitted his juice and was in coughing fit a split seconds after. Changmin reacted on instincts, he helped Younghoon and wiped his jacket.

"Why you guys were so shocked?" Kevin side eyed them with one brow raised.

Chanhee chuckled, definitely aware the love tension between those two. He bet to himself that Younghoon would confess but Changmin would be the first to do something idiotic and hinted his crush to Younghoon.

Jacob and Sangyeon were turning red, Sangyeon felt Kevin was indirecting him indeed. Jacob was clueless about Sangyeon but he told Kevin that he admired Sangyeon for being able to lead the kids well.

After a few minutes spent chit-chatting about things that turned to silly and nonsense topics.

They walked out from the arcade as Kevin locked it - business hour was done for the day. Juyeon came with Sunwoo and Haknyeon with their hands tied with a red ribbon.

"Uh, what's wrong with them?" Jacob arched his brows at the odd sight.

Juyeon shrugged. "They are kind of wild so I did that so they won't lost."

Chanhee peeked from behind Changmin, he tried to subtly stare at Juyeon without the latter notice - too bad when Hyunjae pointed him out.

"Chanhee, Changmin can't hide you that well you know that right?"

Chanhee was startled as Juyeon directly glared at him - it gave him goosebumps. Juyeon looked scary and his cold glare pierced through his eyes. It was what he deserved, Chanhee thought.

"So, we are parting here?" Kevin turned to the group as they reached the parking lot.

Changmin shrugged. "Seems like it."

"Ahh, won't it be a waste to just separate like this? We should have celebrated our meeting!" Hyunjae sulked. "What about we gather and eat some meats?" Hyunjae added with a wink.

"Hmm, that sounds great!" Sangyeon tapped his chin and then exchanged stares with Jacob.

"Then, which place? Well, I'd love to invite you to mine but it is sincerely a mess." Younghoon confessed.

"Mine will be inconvenient since my housemates will be there too." Changmin piped in.

"Same here. My place looks like a paper factory." Hyunjae admitted.

Then everyone shifted their gaze to Chanhee who was silent during the whole talk.

"Chanhee, you live alone right? It is alright to celebrate it at your place right??" Hyunjae nudged him - morely like forcing him.

Chanhee looked up timidly and accidentally looked at Juyeon who turned away coldly.

"Yes, it is fine." Chanhee muttered. Chanhee lived alone and his place was clean and tidy too - he cleaned it on daily basis. 

"Chanhee's place, it is!! I will call Eric and Hwall." Hyunjae chirped happily.

Chanhee wished Juyeon at least would stop being cold, but little did he noticed Juyeon's eyes were on him the entire time he looked away.
