Welcome to Teddytopia (JunChanFF/Eng)

Chapter 1

„I should have stayed at home...I'm way too tried. Why did I even have to come in the first place? Seungjun didn't have to, too, and it's the birthday party of your boyfriend, not mine..."

Chan climbed out of the car, loudly whining and letting his shoulders hang down unmotivated. He got an annoyed glance from Jason.

"Seungjun isn't coming, because he is on a business trip. Believe me, he would rather be here. And my boyfriend is also a friend of yours and knows you for years. So, stop acting like a stubborn child and don't ruin the fun for everybody else. Why are you like this anyway? Normally you can't get enough of events like this..."

"Yeah, well normally I'm not dead tired and just got rejected for the probably hundredth job, in the last three months...So please let me be miserable for once."

Jason, who had already been some steps in front of him sighed, turned around and came back. When he had reached him, he put a reassuringly hand on his shoulder and looked directly into his eyes.

"Don't worry, you'll find something soon. They are all dumb for not employing someone as incredible as you..."

"Easy for you to say...you've got a job and even a really good-looking boyfriend who also makes good money. It must be easy for you..." The other shook his head.

"It's never just easy. And the past years were a simple nightmare, so I'm extremely happy, my life is finally working out the way I want it to for once. Yours will soon, too. I'm sure about it."

A soft smile appeared on his best friend's face and he pulled him into a quick hug, before he let him go again and started to walk in the direction of the entrance of the apartment complex, Sehyoon lived in. Chan followed him slowly, still not really in a better mood.

After his last rejection, he actually had wanted to just stay at home, in a hoodie, eating pizza and watching a movie, but then Jason had suddenly stood in front of his door and reminded him that today was the evening of the birthday party to which he was also invited. He had still tried to not go, but Jason was extremely stubborn and nearly dragged Chan out of his apartment and into the car, leaving no space for resistance. He still wore a hoodie, though.

They both entered the house and stepped into the elevator, without saying anything and it felt weird. Normally they were always talking and joking and this to a great extent because of himself. Chan usually hated silence between two people, but today was just not his day. Eventually, they reached their destination and Jason knocked at a door at the end of the light-brown painted floor. Not even ten seconds later, a tall, dark haired and extremely handsome man opened it. He immediately started to smiley brightly, as soon as he spotted Jason, and the younger returned it, not any less happy looking. Then, he stepped forward and kissed the other man on his lips.

"Happy Birthday!" Jason cheered afterwards and handed his boyfriend a little package, wrapped in black and white wrapping paper.

"I specially bought paper with your favorite colors. I hope, you'll like it."

"Are black and white even real colors...," Chan mumbled under his breath but the other two ignored him.

"I'll probably love it, just because it's a gift from you."

Chan, who had watched the whole scene, while standing behind Jason, felt the need to roll his eyes. Not because he wasn't happy for his friend or thought they weren't totally made for each other, but because he wanted to finally feel the same. To finally also have someone by his side who would understand him the way in which Sehyoon understood Jason and the other way around. Even if that meant he would also turn into such a cheesy mess like them.

After seemingly hours, the older invited them in at last, and they entered his apartment. Chan had been here before, once, and it was a bright, quite big one. It probably was expensive too and there was definitely enough room for two people. He actually only waited for Jason to eventually move in with Sehyoon. He knew they both wanted it, but until now, nothing had happened. Indeed, they were only dating for a year but if it was really true, what they both had told him, they knew each other for way longer, since Jason's childhood, and had always lived together. Chan still didn't quite know what he should think about their stories.
