"the music is so damn loud it hurts my ears." hyunsuk rolled his eyes at the shorter's excuses. "ofcourse you dumbass it's called a party for a reason." making jeongwoo groan in response.

watching hyunsuk walk over to his other friends, he realized yedam was already tipsy by the way he was acting towards the dancer kid from class whereas junkyu was sleeping on the couch not up for wasting his sleep just for a party he was forced to attend just like any other day.

instead of bothering to walk towards his friends, jeongwoo just sat on a stool by the counter asking for a drink. "you don't look anywhere near 18 kid, i'll need to see some id." well atleast he tried, he sighed laying his head on the counter getting nauseous.

"sometimes all you got to do is act cute for the bartender, you know." came a voice from his right. he gave the bartender a wink before asking him to pour two drinks. "on me." jeongwoo just shrugged, gladly accepting the free drink.

"so park jeongwoo, huh?" the guy asked. jeongwoo was taken aback not recognizing the pink head but nodded anyway. "and you are?" he asked back while the bartender poured them another drink after they both started taking shots while they were on their fourth. "jaehyuk, but you could call me jae."

maybe this was his worst decision of the day, after losing count of how many glasses he'd had jeongwoo was completely wasted. getting up to make his way towards his friends he found himself being dragged towards the bathroom stalls. his body felt numb and weak to argue or even turn around to fight back. in a few seconds he could feel someone's rough lips over his with force tasting of nothing but alcohol. to say jeongwoo felt terrible was the least, he was disgusted and his body ached. with the little consciousness he had, he tried to push the body away but in vain.

rush of the moment making him think of when he got pushed against the lockers by his highschool classmates just to get bullied. tears rolled down his cheeks as the other person was all over him not letting him go despite his cries. after shedding a few tears and coming back to his senses jeongwoo recognized the man as the guy who brought him drinks from before.

before the shorter one could make another try to push away the guy he saw jaehyuk being dragged away by a taller guy, the dizzy feeling making him not give a single shit about the two. he tried to walk out of the stall on his own while trying to gain his balance and focus on making it back home. after what felt like an eternity of not being able to move from one place he felt himself gently being put around someone's back and being out of the there.

he was grateful that no one was over him this time, while nudging himself against the soft back of the person carrying him trying to
make out who it is at the back of his mind, but he was still afraid, of what had happened back there. guilt washing all over him like he had committed a sin and had to be rinsed for a whole day or so to get over this feeling. the alcohol in his body making it worse overall. the overwhelming feeling made him shut his eyes to rest but the headache was too bad for him to knock out right there.

"thank you."

he mustered up all his courage while trying to open his eyes to utter those words to the body lingering over him covering him with a blanket after he had been piggybacked all the way back to the dorm. everything around him was a blur when he managed to do so, and while he tried to make out which one of his friends it was next to him, the boy flinched at the eye contact instinctively moving back. when jeongwoo failed to get anything at all right he shut his eyes back and heard the latter uttering some words which he couldn't quite make out. what he did realize as he was close to dozing off was the gentleness in the voice that barely reached his ears, and light footsteps making their way out of his room after tucking him in.

"and i've got this really cool figurine that can fly you know? it's probably the best one in the country i'm sure you'd damn love it once you get your eyes on it!"

junkyu's loud voice ringed in his ears while the sunlight getting in his eyes wasn't making it any better on top with the throbbing headache. junkyu walked in with a short boy reaching his shoulders who had amusement all over his face. "oh morning woo, meet jihoon, jihoon meet- oh my god jeongwoo how wasted were you last night?" he yelled while giving jeongwoo the you're so dead look.

"did you get back here on your own?- who did that?" junkyu yelled, again, pointing towards the warm water with aspirin and wet towels on the side table. jeongwoo just shrugged not actually remembering much after what had happened at the bathroom stalls the thought of which made his stomach churn in disgust. informing the elder that he needed a shower he watched his friend walk towards the restroom getting the bath ready while his little friend sat down on junkyu's bed to play with the figurines.

"so you're friends with haruto?" the boy called jihoon muttered lowly while looking at the figurine in his hand. "what do you mean?" confused jeongwoo asked back. "uh nothing. he doesn't really hang much around people you know so it was just like- surprising seeing him carry you back and all."

"your bath's ready. make it quick while i'll order soup for you kay?" junkyu informed walking back in the room while jeongwoo was still staring at the shorter male in surprise. "uh what did i miss?" jihoon opened his mouth to let the elder know but earned a hard glare from jeongwoo in response to which he muttered. "nothing i-i was just letting him how cool these figurines are, i t-think i'll go now, see you tomorrow junkyu." he said almost as quiet as a whisper while rushing out of their room.

"so haruto huh?"
