2 DAYS BEFORE THE PARTY

Jehyun didn't get why he had to accompany Chen, who managed to let him and Jin to sneak out of school, and go shopping for suits for the party. he didn't also get why they had to shop when they could have personal tailored suits. what made it more intriguing was how Chen would constantly look around the mall, it was like he was looking for someone.

it got to the point that Chen would enter each store only to look around before leaving without buying anything. he was sure that the sale personnels were irritated by that.

it was probably when they almost entered an lingerie shop when he decided to ask. "Chen why are we here again? and don't say because of the suits because we are rich enough to have one tailored in one night"

Chen, who was busy rummaging through a rack of shirts, looked up. "because we need to be normal for once and I'm trying to get your mind off your mother"

"seojun did a better job"

it was true. after spending the night with Seojun yesterday, he forgot that his mother was coming home. he even forgot how negative he was feeling earlier that evening. it was like Seojun had this effect on his emotions. every action of the older would bring a smile on his face, even if it was idiotic.

"what!? " Chen stopped his rummaging, eyes bulging with shock as he processed what his best friend said. "you slept with him?! "

"of course not! " Jehyun shook his head, cheeks blushing in embarrassment as they got look from the people around them. "heavens Chen I'm not that reckless"

"but he is" Chen countered. "what if you two did and you got pregnant? that's something Hyun! "

"but we didn't! " Jehyun countered, head aching as Chen misunderstood What he said. he turned to Jin who kept silent with their exchange. "Jin help be out here"

"I don't know Hyun but Chen does have a point. you didn't tell us anything about it so of course we—well Chen would jump into conclusions " Jin reasoned out which got a baffled look from the lion cub. "and the only way you can solve this is my telling us what happened yesterday"

did Jehyun have a choice? of course not. he knew the two would push the idea that he slept with Seojun and the idea that he would get pregnant. so with a sigh, he started his story telling.

"what!? "

flinching, Jehyun slapped his hand on chen's mouth, muffling the rants of his best friend. he glanced at Jin who was too shock to blink and move. the Chinese mouth hung open as the burger he held up was midway from his lips.

"Chen... " jin started slowly which made Jehyun grew anxious. "give me the ducking money you owe me! you lost butthole"

blinking furiously, Jehyun exchange glances between Chen and Jin. he didn't get why the Chinese plate meant at first but it dawned upon him as he translated it to the language he shared with his friends. "wait, you bet against each other!? and on my relationship!? "

"of course we did" jin scoffed, finding it hilarious on how Jehyun just found out now. wasn't it obvious on how they would want every juicy update between him and the celebrity. "Jehyun, in our friend group we would secretly bet against each other and don't even deny it cause I know you and Chen bet something that has to do with me and hiro"

Jehyun sat there baffled. "but that doesn't mean—"

"nope" jin shut him up, flipping his non-existent long hair. "not another word"

🌟

Jehyun lazily stared at his dorm room's white ceilings, room dark. he could held but rewind the entire time he was I the mall with his friends. although he doesn't approve sneaking out of school and coming back when class ended, he also appreciated how it cleared a few things in his head. he was also thankful they got to shop for suits since he found one he knew no tailor could make. he turned his head To the box that contained it that was perched on top a random stool in his room. he planned on taking it out the day before the party, that way there's still a sense of surprise despite him knowing how it looks.

he heaved a sigh, going back to looking at the ceiling. "when is he going to ask me? "

another thing that bugged him, aside the return of his mother, was if Seojun was going to ask him out for the party. he didn't expect much since he knew asking a girl out for the party was safer for the celebrity. I mean, his fans knew that he's straight but in reality he was bi. sure pictures of him with a girl can cause some rumors but at least wouldn't tarnish his image.

but if he were to take Jehyun out as a partner then that would cause some trouble. he would be hated for being gay and would get into trouble with his company. it made him snort as he realized that the two of them have been shameless when it came to public affection. why was he realizing it now? he didn't know as well. all he knows is that it hit like a truck. reality hit him like a truck.

closing his eyes, jehyun steadied his breath, lulling himself to sleep.

one patter on his window

two patters on his window

three patters on his window

four patters on his window and sound of glass cracking made him jolt awake. hastily getting up, he stumbled his way in the dark to his window he swore had a little crack. pulling the curtains apart, he was greeted with the sight of a pebble hitting it. sliding it open, he poked his head out, ready to scream at the crazy person trying to break his window. "I SWEAR TO—Seojun? "

below his window, outside his dorm room was Seojun, holding close to his chest pebbles that he threw at the window. the celebrity was barely recognizable with the cap and mask he wore but Jehyun could recognize it was him.

"what are you doing here at—" the lion cub turned to the digital clock on his nightstand. a bright 1:30 being reflected. "—1:30 in the damn morning? "

as much as he wanted Seojun to shout his answer, he knew better than to wake up his dorm mates. also thankful that his mother bought a single unit for him. thus the reason why he turned away from the window before maneuvering through the dark and his door to the living room before going to his front door that he hastily opened and got out before running down two flights of stairs.

"finally! I thought you left me there" Seojun smiled, letting go of all the pebbles before pulling Jehyun into a hug as the younger just got of the building.

pushing himself away from the celebrity, Jehyun shot the older a look. "what are you doing at this hour? aren't you supposed to be in your apartment? "

"yeah but first, can we go in. it's freezing"

right, Jehyun forgot about that. nodding his head, he intertwined their hands together before pulling the older with him inside his dorm.

"wow" Seojun muttered, surprised how the inside of the room contrasted to the red brick exterior. he looked around the room, eyes pausing at the picture frames that hung on one side of the wall near the door. "is that you? "

Jehyun turned to what Seojun meant, eyes soft at the picture that contained a young him and someone else. "yeah"

"who's this? " by the time Seojun asked this, he was already in front of the wall and pointing through the glass at the picture of the obviously older boy and a young Jehyun.

"m-my brother " Jehyun said, voice wavering a little as he took a big gulp of air. he doesn't know why but his chest felt heavy.

"you have a brother? "

"yeah but he's somewhere far"

"oh when is he coming back? "

"i-I don't know "

Jehyun wanted to change the topic but found no courage in doing so. he knew he should make things clear to Seojun. tell the celebrity about his family and other things but somehow he couldn't.

"hey what's wrong? " Seojun cupped the younger'S cheeks And wiping The tears that unconsciously fell down his cheeks. Jehyun wasn't responsive until a few seconds, blinking away the tears. the younger proceeded to wipe away the tears with his hands.

"hah, I'm crying" he mocked, chuckling to himself. why was he crying? "I'm sorry"

"no need to be sorry hyun" the older led the two of them to the couch by the living room, pulling Jehyun down to sit beside him before wrapping his arms around the younger. as much as he wanted to ask why he was crying, he decided to wait, knowing that the younger would tell him later. "shh~ it's alright"

this made Jehyun snort in his mind. nothing is alright. the crying and the feeling of his chest beating rapidly is certainly not because of Seojun but something else.
