9 - Intermission

Kyeom pov.

Alright.. nothing wrong in texting him right? All good no problem right??? Why the hell am I obsessing on what Hoshi said! We have a project due tomorrow and I was thinking about this like a crazy person. I should just ask what's wrong right?

"Joshua seemed upset." Hoshi said earlier.

Me: Hey.. we good right? (I decided to just text him already)

I sent him the text. And I'm waiting.. and waiting... and then a reply.

Joshi: Yup.

He replied right away. See nothing to worry about right? Hoshi's inside my head. But he replied in one world only? I should double check.

Me: By any chance, are you mad at me? Hoshi told me you looked upset after we talked.

Damn I feel like a high school student.

Joshi: Nah... I was just thinking..

Me: about?

Joshi: some things.... No need to worry it doesn't concern you 😇

Doesn't concern me? Ah rude?!?  Wait why am I upset already?

Me: alright then see you later at your apartment.

Joshi: oh about that. Let's not meet later, I kinda have a thing.

Me: what thing??

Joshi: I kinda have a date. Is that alright?

Oh a date? That's new. He usually doesn't even go out at night.

Me: That's great. Where are you taking her?

Joshi: I'm sorry Kyeom but I'm not comfortable talking about my date yet. Can I just take a raincheck on our meeting?

Me; sure thing. Hahaha Happy dating.. I guess? I'll see you at school then.

Joshi: Yup. See you!

And that was it. After that conversation I was the one upset. Reason? Maybe because I was used to the routine and now he's changing it. And dating??? Isn't that risky??  What if somebody sees him?

"Kyeom you look constipated." Hoshi interrupted my thoughts.

"And you look like you haven't slept." I continued to deflect.

"That's cause I've been doing all the work in here.. what's wrong with you. Not even contributing to your parts." He said and then I laughed a little.

"Sorry I'm a little bit distracted. Are we close to finishing?" I asked despite my nonexistent help. I could see him roll his eyes at me.

"Yes but I did all the work so you owe me." He said as he continued typing and editing the project.

"Wanna go out later?" I asked him and he shook his head.

"Go out like drinking?" He asked.

"Yup." I said confidently.

"Dude our tolerance is extremely low. We already proved that when we went to Youngi's Party. Remember?" Hoshi said.

"Let's just not drink too much. Only like 3 shots." I bargained.

"Alright but we should ask someone to come with us. We can't possibly take care of ourselves." Hoshi said and it was smart. The more the merrier right???

"How about Wonu? Wait he doesn't like parties." I suggested and failed.

"I know someone." Hoshi said with a smirk.

—————-///////————-///////———————

Moments later....

"Kyeomiiiiiiieeeez I missed you so much!!" Kwanie suddenly entered my house without any warning.

"Oh so you're the one Hoshi invited! I figured. You like parties and you live like it." I said and he gave me a wink.

"Where's the boyfriend???" I asked again.

"Still at his folks. It's fine I get a lot higher tolerance in alcohol if he's not here." He said and I laughed.

"That's because you pretend to be drunk and fragile in front of Vernon." Hoshi scoffed.

"You will understand after you experience dating Hoshi." He said and Hoshi rolled his eyes.

"Alright! Stop glaring at each other. Let's finish up and enjoy!" I said and then I looked outside.

"Wait you brought someone?" I asked him.

"Oh right! I forgot about him. hahahahahahahaha hey! Come inside!" He said. The a tall slender man appeared.

"Dk meet Jun! He's a friend from China. And he's gonna be our designated driver for tonight! I came prepared thank you very much." He said.

"Wait I feel like I know you." Hoshi said.

"Yup you do. I taught one of your dance classes!" He said and then I looked at him.

"Wait you're a teacher?!?l" i asked.

"Yup. Dance class." He said as he waved his hands like a fairy.

"And he knows Mr Hao, your homeroom teacher" Kwaniie added.

"Oh right. Wait how? Is it because you both are teachers?" Hoshi asked and I almost face palmed myself.

"Yes and also because he's my partner." He said.

"Wait partner as in?" I asked.

"Partner as in husband." He said confidently and Kwanie nodded beside him agreeing and smiling.

"No way!!! Didn't know that! Now tell me this Why do you guys look so young? Is it a skin care routine? Because Mr. Hao is definitely pretty." Asked Hoshi.

"Well we are young. We're only 2 years older than you guys. We just graduated early." He said.

"But Mr Hao acts like a grandma." Hoshi commented and I slapped him. I know Hoshi's just mad because Mr. Hao doesn't tolerate his Tiger thing.

"He does. He's pretty old fashion but really crazy if you get close. You won't believe that there are times where he's not even meditating." Jun said and laughed a little.

"That's enough chit chat. Now follow mama bear and let's party!" He said and I laughed at his random thoughts. Well maybe this is a great distraction. I'm not thinking about you know who's date anymore.

Damn It I just did.

———————————////////—————————-

"Wait before anything else. I would just like to ask where my boy Dino is?! I have never seen him since I got here." Hoshi said to me and I laughed. They are really like brothers now maybe even more of a brother than me.

"He's at a friend's house." I said.

"What? He has other friends?!?" Hoshi asked and Kwannie and I laughed.

"Of course he does. Are you insane? Now do we go or do we go?" Asked Kwannie. We all went inside the car and we looked at each other.

"The trio back again with our DD!!" Hoshi suddenly said with hype as he pointed at Jun. Jun just laughed it off and started the engine.

"Alright alright relax guys. I'm gonna need you to put on your seatbelts." Jun said and we did.

"Party city here we come!!!!" Kwannie shouted and we all cheered.

"Oh right. Get your dancing shoes ready because we are going to the new bar uptown. The Giggly Bar." Kwannie said and we all looked at him.

"We're not going to the usual?" I asked.

"No my dear. It just so happens that I have three V-I-P tickets with me and we are all dancing! This place is very exclusive and only rich ass people are invited here." Kwannie bragged.

"How did you get it?" Hoshi asked.

"Well, a friend of a friend." He said and I chuckled.

"Vernon's friend?" I asked because Vernon was mad wealthy.

"Jackpot! You got it." He said and we all laughed.

"I can't wait! But wait are we dressed a little too casual?" Hoshi asked.

"Don't you worry my boys! I have prepared.. but you need to prepare yourself. I'll be choosing your outfit and it's gonna be hella sexy! I got them in the trunk" he shouted and we cheered! This is what I like about Kwannie he's too spontaneous and it's just the distraction I need.

"Alright! We can stop here to change." He said as he pointed us at Hoshi's house.

"This is my house." He stated.

"Yup." He said and I laughed. They are so silly.

"It's on the way so I figured we change there. I don't wanna ruin the surprise." He said and I laughed. This is too extra.

"And the party has just arrived!" Hoshi said as he showed off his abs in the see through shirt.

"Yes we did!" Kwannie said.

"You guys are overhyped it's like you prepared for this for 3 months." I said and they laughed.

"Actually I was waiting for you guys to ask... why did you decide to go out anyway.?" Kwannie asked.

"Actually this guy asked me." Hoshi pointed at me.

"Well.. I just have somethings in my head." I said honestly.

"Ohhhhh the same answer he said the last time we were together." Hoshi said and I looked at both of them.

"Is this still about your so called husband???" Kwanie asked.

"Probably..." I said and then he nodded. They both nodded and we all went inside the car again. Jun smiled at all of us as we all sat down.

"You guys look amazing." Jun said and we smiled at him.

"Thank you DD. Your service will be remembered!" Hoshi said and we all laughed. He's not even calling him by his name anymore.

——- 10 minutes later ——-

Finally we arrived at the place. It was a pretty secluded place. Really giving that wealthy old money vibes.

"This place is much more expensive than my life." I said and they laughed because Hoshi said the same thing.

We entered the place all four of us and the inside was so loud. There was one DJ at the center and everyone was dancing. There were a few booths on the side but more place on the dance floor. People were having a dance battle in front of us and Hoshi really wanted to join in. It was the best entrance ever. It's like stepping into Narnia.

Then all of a sudden the lights all went dark and the Dj was speed talking about this rapper.

"Everybody let's all welcome!!! YOONZINO IN THE BUILDING!!!!!!l" he said and then all of a sudden... this guy freaking showed up.

"JEONGHAN?!?!?" We all exclaimed and then he started to hype up the crowd.

"Yow baby how are you tonight. Looking fine looking fine..." he keeps on flirting and talking to the people near the stage. This is not the Jeonghan we know. What the hell?

"I can't believe my eyes!." Hoshi said as he also started cheering on our friend.

"Got to show this to Cheol and Wonu later! They are gonna freak out, I know it." Kwannie said as he started recording "Yoonzino" as they call him.

He continued to hype the crowd up as Jun went to the bar and got us some drinks. Since we are V-I-P as Kwannie said, we have our own booth at the top. Just in front of the DJ.

"This is gonna be so fun! Everyone!!! Drink till we drop!" Hoshi said and we all cheered and clinked our glasses.

We drowned the first round of drinks and boy was it strong. High quality shots indeed.

"Damn that was smooth." Hoshi said.

"Dude maybe we should pace ourselves or not?." I was about to warn Hoshi when I saw them both drowning their second drink already. Jun was laughing at both of them. Alright then, I should catch up.

By drink number 5 Mr. Yoozino had already seen us. His face was priceless. We are all waving our hands at him by our cube and he just laughed.

"Alright people.. my OG's are in the club tonight! Let's not make them regret this! Come on down and show us some dance moves up in here!!!" jeonghan said as he motioned us to proceed to the dancefloor. We were already at our confident drunk state so what else could we lose right?

"Whoooooooooo mary me Yoozinooo!! One girl shouted and then Hannie winked at her." It was a totally different vibe when I see him in school.

"Anything for you baby. But firstttt.. any challenger in the house??? My friend right here.. Tell them your street name" Jeonghan said as he placed the mic into Hoshi's face.

"Call me... TIGER!" He shouted

Everyone shouted. It seems like they enjoy the tiger Bit. Then the music started. 3 dancers stepped forward and suddenly the battle begun.

Kwannie massaged Hoshi's shoulder and then he went into the dance floor too. And then took off. He was already in his see through outfit so his movements are extra sexy today.

"Whoooo sexyyyy!!!!" I shouted as I tried to take a video. Kind of like a fan cam.

"So hot!!!!" Kwannie shouted with all the girls beside us. I don't know why there were girls on stage already. I guess they went up to get a good look at the dance battle too.

"Aren't you joining in?" Jeonghan asked both Kwannie and I.

"Oh no no... we are his supporters tonight. And dancing is his forte." Kwannie said but then Jeonghan pushed him into the dance floor as well. He stumbled a little and the music stopped. Everyone was looking at him then all of a sudden just like a rehearsed dance, the music began to play. People started cheering and shouting. Mostly because Kwannie took off two buttons from his shirt and danced with Hoshi.

I was shouting like it's the end of the world when all of a sudden a hand grabbed me and just like that I was in the floor as well.

"Show us what you got! BooSeoksoon!!!" Jeonghan said and we were shocked at his sudden name invention. It was one of the names we made when we were making silly music videos.

"I guess we need to." I said. And I don't know if it's the alcohol but we all danced the floor away. People were cheering and we were feeling the music.

Jeonghan had his hands over the shoulders of two girls. He was cheering and videotaping us as well.

As soon as the music stopped, we were already breathing pretty heavily. I have to say, those were my best dance moves ever.

"This is the best party I have ever been in." Hoshi shouted and he was pretty wasted at this point.

"Maybe slow down on the drinks." I could hear Jun saying behind me.

"Yeah dudeeezzz—- slo—owww with the drenkz!" Kwannie said. He was even worse than Hoshi. We don't know why he was drinking too much. The hype has probably gotten to him.

I scrolled on my phone because the drinks are already affecting my brain process. But my pride wont admit that so I played with my phone as two of my friends danced once again.

Maybe I should ask Joshi to come over? Oh? Why did I suddenly think of that guy? Brain come on! This is not you. Work with me here!

"Who you textinn???" Jeonghan suddenly sat beside me.

"No one! Hannie—" i said but he shushed me.

"Dude they don't know my name here so please call me by my rapper name." He said proudly and I laughed. He's seriously sticking with it.

"Whatever YOONZINO." I said emphasizing the name and he laughed.

"Soo... who you texting? In the middle of this great party. Am I not a good enough Dj for you guys?!?" He joked and I smiled.

"It's Joshi." I accidentally said.

"Oh shit! Joshua as in the Joshua, your husband.? Didn't know you guys are close now. This is a revelation." He said and I smiled even if I know he's not the real

Joshua.

"Shhhhhhhhhhhhhhh. This is our secrettttt. And I won't text him. He's on a datez. With other gurlsszzzx" i said in a very drunken tone. I'm probably gonna regret this so much but my brain can't function properly.

"Ohhh so this is why you drank again. Secret is safe and locked! Good thing I didn't get too drunk for this." He said and I glared at him.

"Alright, tell me what you wanna text him. I'll do the typing." He said and I snatched my phone back. I can't risk him seeing the text of Joshi it's better in secret. Even if I'm drunk I need to keep my mouth shut. I have said too much already.

"Alright relax relax. I'm gonna go find out why your bff's crying over there. Byeeeeeeeeeeee" He said and I looked at Hoshi. He was indeed crying . What is up with this already. It's a good thing we are in the VIP section. It's pretty isolated from the rest.

I then looked at my phone again. Then I started typing.

Me: Yours Having fun? Hehehehee

Joshi: I guess I am... what's up with the typo?

Me: typoz? You trippinzzzz I'm just hereee danzinggg

Joshi: I'm assuming you're drunk?

Me: who iz? You are? Are you drunk?

Joshi: tell me where you are.. you are ridiculous.

Me: itzz a secrettttt

And then I threw my phone to Jun. like not even a head's up, good thing he has great reflex. He looked shocked and then put my phone in his pocket.

"And thank you, I'll be returning this after the party" Jun said as he laughed at me. Then he excused himself to answer a call. I looked at the bottle of whiskey in front of me and downed it all in one go.

——————————————————————————//—

Jun's pov.

When I returned to the room, I found a crying Hoshi and Kwannie. Hugging each other and comforting each other at the same time. Kyeom on the other hand was dancing and singing with the Dj pretending to have a concert. Good thing I didn't drink.

"What's wrong with you????" Kyeom asked Hoshi suddenly.

"My crush hates me." He said and I laughed. Sometimes I forgot that they are still kids in college.

"You hated him too." Kyeom said. Then Kwannie went and hugged Hoshi.

"My boyfriend hates me toooooooo!!" And they both started sobbing. What is happening???

"What? Vernon? He could never." Hoshi said trying to comfort Kwannie too. Hoe the hell did the party come to this? It's amazing how alcohol works. This is why we only collect rare teas in our house.

Then Jeonghan suddenly went and sat beside the three drunkards and took a picture. Then without even introducing himself to me he gave me his phone.

"Please take a picture of all of us sir." he said politely so I just chuckled and took the picture. They are really gonna regret all this tomorrow. And I'll be needing help.

"Kwannie, why did you say Vernon hated you?"  I asked in curiosity.

"Well he hasn't called me from the time he was with his folks until now. Before he went away we also had a little fight. And I haven't heard from him since. And I just knew he hated meeeeee. HE's probably gonna break up with me when he gets back." He said crying and if I was not in my right mind now, I would probably laugh at him.

"And Hoshi?" I asked.

"Well I told my crush I hate him and now I don't know how to approach him."  he said and I tapped him in the shoulder.

"You know what would be fun? You three have phones right? Use each other's phone and solve each other's problems." Jeonghan suddenly suggested.

"I don't think that's a good idea." I objected but Jeonghan has already took their phones away and gave it to them.

Hoshi took Kyeom's phone. Kwannie's took Hoshi's phone and Kyeom took Kwannie's phone.

"This is not gonna go well." I said.

I looked at their texts and it is a mess.

Kwannie's text :

"I know we fought and I know you hate me. But please come back here and get me.. Please don't throw away the bond we have for something so silly and honestly I miss you."

(This is sent to Woozi from Hoshi's phone)

Hoshi's text:

I'm sorry for hurting you. Whatever I did I didn't mean it. Now I don't know how to talk to you or even glance your way. I feel embarrassed. Can we start over and we can see what happens next.

(This is sent to Joshi from Kyeom's phone)

Kyeom's text:

I don't care if you date anyone else there. I hope your enjoying because tonight I'm enjoying myself too. I only liked you because of your face! I can find someone. Who looks exactly like you!

(This is sent to Vernon from Kwannie's phone.)

Jeonghan proofread the texts and made sure not to have any spelling errors and he was laughing at what he did.

He also included the address of the bar below for all text messages. I could see the evil smirk forming in his mouth. I just met this Jeonghan guy but he's scary.

"You are just pure evil." I said.

"Nah.. I just helped you out. Trust me, you won't be bringing any of these drunkards home. You'll be free as a bird. Now I heard you dance. Dance with me.

"Is this flirting? Because I already have a partner." I said frankly.

"Damn.. I'm not pretty enough for you? I even changed my outfit for you guys." He winked at me.

I was shocked. This guy is really confident. I mean he is pretty but my Hao is prettier.

"I'm gonna have to decline strongly. You're not really my type and from what I know, I am your senior so hitting on me is a big no no.." I explained to him and he just laughed a little.

"You're no fun." He said and I smiled.

"And you're drunk too. Do you have a ride?" I asked.

"Nope. But I can call someone." He bragged and took out his phone. He dialed the number and I looked at the phone screen. The caller I.D was named "DADDu"

Then he answered. Right away if I may say.

"Hello? This guy rejected me again. As always! Nobody wants a piece of me. Please pick me up." He said and then turned his phone off.

"Seriously? That's what you said?" I asked.

"Yeah why?" He asked as if it wasn't the most outrageous message ever. I mean what information can he get with that?

"How will he know where to pick you up.?" I asked.

"He's gonna know." He said confidently and then slept in my shoulder.

These kids are scaring me. I need to call Hao. ——————————————————————————-

Vernon's, Woozi's and Joshi's pov. After reading the texts.

"Huh? What the hell?"

—————————————————————/—————
