Loveless | 2jae

ONE

Choi Youngjae wanted to forget about everything. So he walked around the park, stolen beer in hand, a half charged phone in his pocket and a broken heart. The young boy had already begun underaged drinking and if he were sober, he would chuckle at the thought. He was a sophomore now, as the last day of his freshmen year was about a week ago.

"Youngjae? What are you doing out here?"

Youngjae quickly turned they face the voice of Lim Jaebeom, his friend and upperclassmen.

"I'm getting drunk," Youngjae slurred, "because love, love is fake! Why did I think anyone could live someone like me?" The boy began to cry, "I'm a wreak. I hate life, Jaebeom! I want to die."

Jaebeom simply took the beer bottle away from Youngjae's hands, "This is your first time drinking, I bet."

Youngjae nodded and smiled, "Feels funny."

Jaebeom simply chuckled and took the younger's hand.

"Where are we going, beautiful?" Youngjae giggled, "Did you know you were beautiful, Jaebeom? You're simply astonishing, exquisite, ethereal."

Jaebeom pointed, "We're going to go sit at the bench over there."

"Why?" The younger asked.

"So we can talk," is all Jaebeom said.

"But I'm not sober, so talking seems useless right now," Youngjae shrugged, "What are we gonna talk about?"

"Anything your drunk mind wants to talk about," Jaebeom sat on the cold bench. Youngjae did the same, he sat there and began twiddling his thumbs.

"So I should first ask, where did you get the beer from?" 

Youngjae hummed, "Well, I stole it!" 

"You...stole it?" Jaebeom questioned, "Stole from who, Jae Jae?" 

"From a man, silly. I snatched it out of his hands and ran!" Youngjae stood up and did a victory pose. 

Jaebeom glanced at the bottle in his hand, back to Youngjae, then back to the bottle. 

"Why Youngjae?" Jaebeom asked. 

"I needed an escape," Youngjae explained, "But I didn't want to smoke with Yugyeom and Bambam or Mark. I knew Jinyoung had wine, but I knew he wouldn't let me drink." 

Youngjae turned to the side, "Jaebeom." 

"Yes?" 

"We need to go! Now!" Youngjae grabbed the older and pulled up to standing. He pointed to a man in the distance, "You see that man in the distance? That's the one I stole from."

"Hey! You kid!" The man shouted and began to run. 

"Fuck, come on!" Youngjae laughed, running away and Jaebeom quickly running after.n 

"Wait, you fucking thief!" 

Youngjae and Jaebeom ran side by side. Youngjae's laughs filled the air and Jaebeom couldn't help but smile at the young drunk boy. They raced and zigzagged through the park, teasing the old man who just couldn't keep up with the two youths.

"Youngjae, I parked over here!" Jaebeom said, grabbing the younger's hand and fumbling with his car keys in another. He unlocked the doors.

"You can't escape!" The man yelled. He was even closer than before.

"Oh fuck!" Youngjae screamed, "Jaebeom!" 

"Car's unlocked!" He screamed and ran faster. The got to the car and jumped in, Jaebeom quickly started to move away. 

The man chasing them stopped running after them, "Fuck you, kid!"

Youngjae stuck his head out the window, threw up two middle fingers and screamed, "Thanks for the beer, you alcoholic fuck!" He sat regularly again and began to laugh. Jaebeom joined with him. 

"Well, that was fun!" Youngjae smiled in triumph.

"Unexcepted but fun," Jaebeom smiled. 

"Please don't take me home," Youngjae suddenly said, "There's no way I can go home like this."

"I wasn't thinking about doing that anyway," Jaebeom commented. 

Youngjae began to tease, "Ooo, Jaebeom-" 

"Not like that," Jaebeom rolled his eyes but still a small smiled dotted his face. 

"Oh, but it could be," Youngjae started to sing, "The possibilities are endless!"

"Endless huh?" Jaebeom repeated. 

"Endless!" Youngjae shouted loudly and laughed. He sang random songs that were playing on the radio until they got to Jaebeom's apartment where the boy immediately passed out. 

Jaebeom wrapped a blanket around the male and couldn't help but to wonder why Youngjae called love fake early in the night. 

putting this story out because I need a story that isn't draining to update! As much as I love guts&glory and alleyways, those stories can be emotionally draining (and the chapters are long asf)

Happy New Year loves 🥰
