SHAMELESS

006°

the music and decorations were enough to impress the picky person that seungmin was. the blonde's face instantly brightened at the sight of sushi chefs rolling out maki rolls and sashimi.

"innie, this is wonderful!", he beamed while gratefully accepting a sake martini from a harajaku styled waitress.

the young raven haired male smiled at his best friend charmingly, "i'm honored i managed to impress you,", he eyed the birthday boy up and down, "gosh seungmin, you're dressed to kill today.", he commented while admiring the boy's white silk v-neck shirt which complimented his physique so well, "something seems to be missing though-"

seungmin shivered when he felt jeongin faintly trace his exposed collarbone, "perhaps an erickson beamon necklace?", the older stared at him incredulously. "how did you-"

he laughed, "why are you so suprised? you've been bragging about how jisung had promised to buy you one for your birthday the whole year! everyone knows!", he chuckled.

seungmin gave the younger a tight lipped smile. it was true, jisung was going to gift him the gorgeous neck piece today that he had been dying to own ever since it came out, and they were going to make up and everything was going to be fine, he assured himself for the upteenth time.

"your lover is a little late though, isn't he?", jeongin asked while looking around. "i can't see changbin either-", he drawled.

his eyebrows furrowing in confusion upon seeing the blonde stand up from the bar stool he was previously sitting on abruptly.

"i'll just go to the roof to catch some fresh air. the air conditioning is nauseating.", he excused himself before walking towards the stairs and going up while jeongin bid him goodbye, nodding in understanding.

his gaze scanned the room, spotting a familiar tall male in the corner who seemed to be staring at seungmin walking away.

"hyunjin!", he yelled out to grab the older's attention but unfortunately, the latter seemed to be lost in his own world. almost as if in a trance, he followed the birthday boy. jeongin stared in suspicion but soon elected to ignore it, not doing anything about it.

meanwhile, on the roof, seungmin started to relax, the sound of the cold breeze blowing calmed him down a little. he played with his phone, staring at it expectantly, hoping for a certain someone to call and let him know that he was on his way- he just had to stop by a jewellery store to pick a particular gift.

"hello there, precious.", he gasped and backed away from the railing upon hearing someone whisper into his ear out of no fucking where. the blonde's face instantly dulled at the sight of hwang hyunjin- who stood all tall and proud infront of him, his smug smile angering him like it always did.

losing his patience, the blonde instantly grabbed the older by his hair, pulling him down towards him violently, "ow! if you wanted to play rough, all had to do was ask.", the raven haired male teased all the while wincing in pain.

seungmin growled, "you weren't supposed to come here!", something inside him warned him to not drop his morals. he decided to listen to it and instantly let go.

hyunjin adjusted his hair almost instantly and leaned closer to the shorter- who flinched in response,"it seems that me and jisung have switched places today."

the younger male hesitated for a hot second but spoke up anyway, "jisung is going to show up soon.", he stated confidently before hesitating again, "i know he will. he l-loves me.", he cursed himself for stuttering in between like a complete fool.

the uneasiness within him only doubled when he saw hyunjin let out a mocking laugh. "sure he does. that's why he screwed your bestfriend, right?", seungmin's posture instantly straightened as he looked around cautiously. "hyunjin, shut the fuck up.", he warned.
