sneaking into a party, how bad can it go? especially for a party where music is blasting everywhere in the building, even in the toilet where people couldn't even shit peacefully. hyungwon felt bad for himself for being the mr lonely at the party while people were grinding each other on the dance floor, making out everywhere and anywhere, dragging someone into a room for more private time.

the strong smell of alcohol was so intense to the point where everybody's going to have a hangover that instant. it's a party, what do you expect? poor hyungwon who thought that it was a small party where he could freeload on the food but him drowning himself in alcohol says otherwise. furthermore, he didn't tell changkyun. he'd expected the younger to lecture him about his health.

"slow your drinks down pal" a soft angelic yet manly voice chuckles as the man pulled a chair next to hyungwon. "i'm not interested." hyungwon didn't even spare the stranger a single glance, still gulping the strong liquid down his throat. people have been checking and hitting the lonely boy up and hyungwon was certain that all of them have motives, bad ones. he had thought that the guy would walk off like the previous ones, but the man laughed. "relax, i'm not going to hit on you"

the man then reached his hand forward, "the name's kihyun. what's yours, buddy?"

hyungwon turned his head to look at him, trying to see what the new guy was up to but it seems that all the questions in his mind were lost as soon as he made eye contact with kihyun. this man was drop-dead gorgeous. his black hair was styled back and it looked incredibly soft. his eyes were so captivating, like a black hole sucking you in. his nose is sharp and lips tinted in red. although he seemed a little short, the contrast was there, a perfect combo. "take a picture, it'll last longer for this handsome face of mine." kihyun smirked, totally throwing the mood off.

hyungwon immediately stopped staring and rolled his eyes. how lame can this guy be? he took another shot of alcohol, ignoring the attractive man sitting next to him. "you seem like someone who has lots of problems" kihyun continued talking though hyungwon's ears were wide open, listening to every word.

the raven-haired boy scoffed. "what do you know?" he felt bad for being this ignorant to a friendly guy but how different can he be compared to the previous guys who wanted 'business' like hookups.

"for starters, you look like someone who has problems with love" kihyun grinned as he nudges the boy jokingly. it had become indeed obvious that kihyun hit the jackpot with hyungwon being surprised and clearing his throat, avoiding eye contact. "no way! are you for rea—"

"hyungwon,"

"huh?"

"my name."

"yea okay whatever but this is honestly amazing! do i have esp or what?" kihyun continues to ramble, leaving hyungwon groaning for having to stuck with this stranger. "i think you have a slow brain growth. that suits you better" hyungwon smirks as he downs another shot. kihyun, who was humorously offended, hit the younger on his shoulder while he laughed along.

cough—

"oh shit did i hit you too hard or" kihyun began to worry as hyungwon turned away from him, not wanting to show him anything. that's when the busybody older saw the blood covered petals on hyungwon's hands.

kihyun was stunned. having a love problem was already big enough, but hanahaki? that's a whole different story.

hyungwon looked down onto his blood covered hands, his tears began welling up. his heart was shattering as he knew, his sickness couldn't be treated. from a hopeless crush on his friend to an inevitable disease. how pathetic is that?

kihyun quickly wiped hyungwon's hand with a napkin and engulfed the weak boy in a tight hug. "hey, it's okay. it's alright." kihyun whispered gently as he patted the younger's head while the boy sniffles in the other's chest.
