[completed] Yeosang has to come to terms with the fact that his life is no fairytale, not even a romantic novel - just another short story, fighting to stay above water in the bottomless ocean of so many others'. And in that ocean, he will have to r...
A/N: I have been slacking with my writing in this one, I am not even going to lie or make excuses because I know it is a fact (compared to my other stories, I just can't get into this the same way). Trying to turn this around now, although it might be too late and/or seem a little strange idk. It's not quite where I want it to be yet either, but I'll keep trying.

Nervousness and slight confusion rushes with the alcohol in his blood, causing Yeosang to stumble his way through the crowd of the fancily dressed party guests. Lucas walks in front of him, and people divide around him - like Moses and the Red Sea. Keeping his head low Yeosang follows him, trying his best to ignore the curious eyes that are watching him - he sure hopes this won't spark some rumor that the two of them are back together.
Lucas leads him outside to a large balcony and past a few other guests, who are out there having a smoke. In the right corner they find a peaceful spot, and Yeosang slowly sits down on the white bench - his hands are warm and sweating from the anxiousness, and so is the back of his neck.
"You look so nervous, darling?" Lucas chuckles, as he sits down as well.
The playful tone in his deep voice, and sudden spark in those brown eyes makes Yeosang feel completely lost on what to say or do. Lucas seems to catch onto that, as he clears his throat and lets go of Yeosang's surprised wide-eyed stare.
"So... What do you want to talk with me about?" Yeosang asks, but his words can't really handle the climb over his lips, and they turn into a strange airy whisper instead.
Lucas turns his head to look him in the eyes again, and Yeosang feels how his heart drops in his chest, when he gets caught up in the memories they have together. A faint smile briefly shows on the lips of the older, and as it happens it is like the soft velvety feeling of their kisses still linger on Yeosang's own.
"How are things with your new boyfriend?" the older asks, and the sudden and unexpected question makes Yeosang flinch back a little.
"W-what? How did you know..." he mumbles.
Sucking his lower lip in, Yeosang turns his face away - too scared of what will be said next. Lucas must be furious that he seemed to have moved on so fast, even if the thing with Hyunjin didn't last for long.
Silence is dancing with the wind between them, and while tugging the bottom of his sleeves Yeosang can't help but smile to himself, just for a short second. Lucas would never have let him go to such a fancy event, wearing a no brand shirt and a non-tailoered blazer, had they still been together as a couple. He remembers how many times they had argued over something as silly as that, but Yeosang was always too proud to admit Lucas was right - in those kind of cases at least.
Image is everything to someone of Lucas' status, and his partner should be able to live up to the same standards - no matter how stupid Yeosang thought designer brands are. But hopefully, the older will find someone some day who will fit better into his lifestyle.
