Just Before The Dawn [DaeJae]

Thirty Four

The next day, Youngjae and Daehyun had a late breakfast before walking Kanji. The walk lead them to a nearby park, where they unleashed the little dog and sat down on a bench, watching the white fluffball play around. 

"Junhong asked if we wanted to go out tonight" Daehyun said, "I know you're not into parties or clubs that much, so I told him I had to ask you first. This is our weekend after all." 

Youngjae looked at the older, whose eyes were following Kanji, a soft smile on his lips. 

"Hm.. I've never been to a club..." He put his cold hands in his pockets. He really didn't like being surrounded by lots of people, he wasn't sure how long he could hold out in a club, but he was also kind of curious, and he trusted Daehyun. But did he trust him enough to go to a place he was so scared of? He looked at him again, how the blonde was so happy about his playing puppy, and made a decision. 

"Well... I mean if it sucks, we can still leave... So why not." 

The older looked at him in surprise. "You're right, if it gets too much, we'll just leave." He chuckled. "I'm glad that you're ready to try it. I'll take care of you, don't worry." 

"Thank you." he shot Daehyun a smile. "Hey, um... it's getting a bit cold, could we go back?" 

"Sure, I was about to say the same thing. Come, let's go home and drink some hot chocolate." 

... 

Many hours later, Youngjae stood at the wall in a club, watching Junhong dance to the loud music. The tall boy was drunk and Youngjae just hoped for him it would not end like last time, since he knew how horrible it was to be sick from alcohol, but Junhong did not seem to think about this. He looked like he had the fun of his life and Youngjae felt himself smile at how happy the younger looked. 

"Hey Jae." Daehyun's voice startled him, he had not noticed that the older had came back from the bathroom. "How are you?" 

"I'm okay, the people aren't that close to me so it's fine." 

"Good." Daehyun chuckled as he saw Junhong approach them quickly. He was followed by a girl, although it looked like he was running away from her. 

"Guys, let's go, please. I'm being stalked..." he grumbled and glanced over to the girl who stoof a few feet away from them. "She won't leave me alone although I told her I'm in a relationship." 

Daehyun sighed. "Alright, let's go." 

They went down the stairs to the entrance area. When Daehyun noticed she was still following them, he stopped and looked at Youngjae. "Act like everything is normal." he whispered and the boy barely had time to think about what that meant, before Daehyun grabbed Junhong's collar and kissed him. 

Youngjae tried to hide his surprise, remembering what Daehyun had said, and glanced over to the girl who had stopped a few feet away. She stared a the scene in shock, as if she was frozen.

The lip contact between the two did not last long, soon Daehyun pulled back, grinned, and hugged Junhong tightly, while the girl finally moved.

"Fucking fags!" she shouted and stomped back up the stairs.

Daehyun let go of his best friend, who glared at him. "I'm gonna kick your ass for that!"

The blonde just laughed and started running away, when Junhong tried to kick him. He chased Daehyun around for a while, until he had finally managed to kick the older's butt. Laughing, they stumbled back to Youngjae, who had been watching all this with a light grin.

"Yongguk will kill you if he hears about that" Junhong giggled, as they made their way to Daehyun's home. It was not far, so they had decided that Junhong would spend the night there. "By the way Jae" the boy suddenly said and lied a hand on Youngjae's shoulder, "How can it be you don't have a boyfriend? You're literally such an adorable guy!"

Youngjae felt his face heat up. Was Junhong trying to fool him or why did he ask this question? He could never really mean this...
Luckily, he did not have to answer, as Daehyun saved him.

"Junnie, stop bothering the poor boy. You know you're annoying when you're drunk." he chuckled, and immediately, the younger's focus was back on Daehyun.

"What did you just say? Do you want me to kick your ass again?" 

Daehyun just laughed and patted his friend's head. 

When the boys entered Daehyun's room, Junhong immediately went over to Kanji, while the other two sat on Daehyun's bed. The blonde smiled at Youngjae, before ruffling his black hair. 

"How did you like it, Jae?" 

The younger looked at him, before lying down backwards on the mattress. "It was alright, not as bad as I thought. But still I don't need that ever weekend." 

Daehyun nodded and lied next to him. "Yeah, I totally understand that. But I'm glad you tried it~" He rolled over to face the younger, poking his side. "Come on, admit that you should listen to  our ideas more often~" 

Youngjae felt how his cheeks turned slightly red, and stayed quiet, not knowing what to say, but Daehyun would not leave him alone and poked him again. "Admit it, JaeJae~" 

"Mmh... okay maybe you're a bit right..." he chuckled shyly, making Daehyun laugh. 

"Aww, thank you~" He wrapped his arms around Younjae's waist and gave the boy a peck on the cheek, making Youngjae's face heat up. "You're the cutest~"
