twenty one

both seungcheol and seokmin were chatting for the last time. the last time. last. yup, last. "lets promise that after this we will still be friends." seokmin said, while sticking out his pinky finger, to make a promise with seungcheol. both of them were afraid not to have each other by their side, but what can they do? exactly,

nothing.

they still have to be apart, whether they like it or not. "i promise!" seungcheol replied while grinning, and interlocking his pinky finger with seokmin's. while both of them were talking, suddenly chan appeared out of nowhere, with a guilty look on his face. "i want to talk to seungcheol. personally." chan blurt out his words, making seokmin took a glance at seungcheol.

"its okay. i will be fine." seungcheol said, nodding his head, making seokmin leave both of them in an awkward atmosphere. "im sorry." chan apologized under his breathe. since the first day he met seungcheol and his friends, he had to admit that he have been acting cold towards them.

he knew what he did was wrong, but he just wants to protect them from-

"no, its okay."

"seungcheol, really, im sorry for all my mistakes towards you."

"oh don't worry. nothing you said makes me offended. so don't be sorry. friends?"

"friends."

all of them were gathering for the last time. even if it's just three days, they still felt happy to befriended each other, even when a lot of things are going on inside their head.

who kidnapped jun that night?

who killed daejung?

who is in their picture?

why is he holding a knife?

is it soonyoung?

or is it just their delusions?

"since we are all here already, let's bid our goodbye for the last time. you can confessed your dissatisfaction, your anger or maybe, ehem, maybe... any of you would like to confess your love towards each other. who knows?" seokmin said teasingly while wiggling his eyebrows with an evil smirk.

the others, started to get anxious and were pretending to check their shoes, their hair, their shirt, "okay, let's us start with one and only, choi seungcheol. let's give him a round of applause!!"

seungcheol widened his eyes in shocked and stared at seokmin whom is sticking his tongue out like a toddler. seungcheol stood in front of the twelve boys, who are waiting for him to talk. he took a long deep breathe, before he started. "so, first of all, thanks to you, jeonghan and your brothers, for letting us stay here for the night." seungcheol said and show his canines to the siblings.

"not forgetting, soonyoung, minghao, and hansol whom willing to be my friends. well...., about daejung, let's keep it as our dark little secret, shall we?" and all of them nodded their head in agreement.

the next person is jisoo.

"hi! thanks to every each one of you that willing to help me and my friends while we were lost in here. we greatly appreciate it from the bottom of our heart-" jisoo expressed his gratitude with happiness plastered on his good looking face.

"-oh, and one more thing, i will probably miss all of you guys! and you-" he point at jeonghan. "-the most." jeonghan could feel his face heating up when everyone turned their gaze from jisoo to jeonghan while, ooh-aah to him in a mocking tone.

the next person is jun whom kinda awkward since he don't know what to say. "thank you! for everything. that's it. and hao, let's meet once again. so that our bet will come true." and he winked his eyes to minghao, who is standing in front of him. jun's friends gasped in disbelief remembering how could jun flirt with xu freaking minghao, when he is still in a relationship with hana, his girlfriend.

is he a bisexual?

up next is jihoon, who looked so down and sad as if the world is about to end. "thanks for everything. giving us food, place to sleep and make me feel happy." and jihoon left with an opposite expression on what he was saying.

because, he does not look happy at all.

everyone just stay in silence, since no one dare to speak, including soonyoung, who felt a deep pang of guilt in his chest, seeing jihoon's face so sad and full of disappointment.

"well, okay. so the next one is, what about mingyu?" seokmin asked while looking at the crowd in front of him to look for mingyu. same goes to others, whom is tiptoeing to look for mingyu in the crowd, unfortunately they knew something is wrong.

and that's when they realized that its just 12 of them, without mingyu in the crowd.

🔪

happy birthday to both lee seokmin and chwe hansol for bringing shine to our lives!
