FUCKING HELL-
i just vomited on the floor of zhanghao’s crazily expensive house in front of my crush and a hot dude i just met
“OH- no” gunwook’s mouth was held agape and just when wanyi thought the situation couldn’t get worse
yujin and matthew ran upstairs to the balcony and shouted in excitement
“guys! gyuvin poured dish soap in the front yard fountain tHERE’S BUBBLES EVERYWHER– EW WHAT THE HELL IS THAT”
“gET THE FUCK OUT YOU TWO” gunwook pushed the two out and gestured jiwoong he should probably leave
jiwoong looked back a bit concerned of the girl oblivious of what might’ve happened to her
he then nodded and did what he was asked and gunwook quickly checked up on the girl
“wanwan! are you feeling sick? why did you suddenly- diD YOU drink something?!”
“gunwook please im alright” wanyi nodded and raised her hands to gesture a 👌🼠ok sign
“you’re not ok, let’s get you cleaned up” ricky said and gunwook gazed at him confusingly
ricky? caring for wanyi? that’s odd
gunwook thought but shrugged it off
“gunwook leave her to me i’ll handle it” ricky smiled softly reassuring the younger who cautiously nodded and he took the girl with him
“fuck it! fuck fuck im so sorryyyy” wanyi covered her face in embarrassment
“it’s ok, it’s your first time” ricky reassured and walked her towards the bathroom
“how do you know?”
“can tell”
– 21:49
“FUCK!” wanyi silently screamed as she stared at herself in the mirror
“GOSH! WHY AM I SO FUCKING STUPI– AAAAARRRRGGGGGGGHH“
“take your time, no hurry” ricky who leaned on the bathroom door outside said staring at the time on his wrist watch
“oh shit! he heard me”
“yeah the door is pretty thin”
“fuck he heard me again”
“stop talking nonsense and vomit out the leftover vodka in your stomach”
“oh will you shut it”
wanyi freshened herself hoping the cool water would rejuvenate her but the alcohol’s effects persisted leaving her disoriented as the room swirled in a dizzying dance around her
“why do i have 0 alcohol tolerance it was just.. 7 shots”
she mumbled and walked out using the handle to balance herself
the door opened revealing the boy dressed in black with a leather jacket handing her a bottle of water
upon catching sight of ricky waiting for her by the door, wanyi swiftly straightened her posture, shedding the slouched stance she had unwittingly adopted
“t-thanks for the water”
“no time for stuttering quickly drink it you stupidass“
“o-ok..” wanyi spoke softly and gulped down the cold liquid and smiled as she puffed out a breath of relief
ricky looked away to prevent his cheeks from betraying the rising blush, his determination to maintain an air of composure evident in his turned eyes
“ricky! let’s go down to look at the fountain” she said suddenly and ricky realised what yujin said earlier
“oh- riGHT! the fountain”
–
“oh gosh, my father’s gonna kill me”
zhanghao said to himself standing by the edge of the stairs of the front door staring devastatingly at the fountain in front since he couldn’t do anything about it
he stood there looking at it with an air of desolation as the blaring, cheerful music from the house clashed starkly with his mood
giant foams of bubbles erupted because gyuvin got too hyperactive he poured dish soaps in the fountain
he probably consumed some alcohol too
people were taking pictures while some played with the bubbles while some swam in it
yes alcohol was supplied and everyone who drank it had frenzied burst of energy or either exuberant and unpredictable behaviours
“WOOHOOOO! LET’S PARTAAAYYYYYY”
gyuvin popped out of nowhere from the cloud of bubbles holding an electric bubble gun and firing it
“NOW THIS IS A REAL PARTY”
“AYOOOO ADD MORE DISH SOAP!”
“LET’S ADD DETERGENT”
“FUCK YEAAAHHH!”
“oh gosh.. oh gosh.. oh nonono.. noooo” zhanghao crouched down and all he could do was stare at the bubbly fountain
“im fucked.. so good”
“HI HAO!” wanyi suddenly appeared beside him and zhanghao didn’t even have the time to get startled
“wanwann” he whined “what am i gonna doo”
“what’s wrong?”
“well loOK AT THE FOUNTAIN”
“oHHHH shit looks fun though, i mean just buy a new one you’re rich anyway”
“wanyi you’re of no help aND WHY DOES YOUR BREATH SMELL LIKE THAT“
“like what”
“fucking vodka”
“oh.. i was tricked!”
“why did YOU DRINK? stupid ass bitch”
“it was an accident hao!”
“you cant DRINK ON ACCIDENT”
“yes i can and i did!”
“who the hell even supplied alcohol”
“i dont know ask him” wanyi said pointing at ricky who stood beside her
“ricky? do you know??”
“we may never know”
“what even is the occasion of this party gosh!” zhanghao scrunched his face and held onto his head with both hands
“i think it was a celebration for the basketball trial selection”
“that’s so fuCkING- WHY CANT THEY JUST DO IT AT YOUR HOUSE”
zhanghao yelled at ricky but the white haired boy just shrugged as a response making hao even more mad
“im gonna call the police this party will never be over”
“WHAT”
“hEY HEY NO NOOO NO CALM DOWN HAO CALM YOUR TITS”
“fine.. i’ll be nice today” he said and sat on the marbled stairs
“just call your family home”
“they’re gonna kill me”
“oh right-“
“are y’all.. interacting?” hao said eyeing the two
“yyeaaaahhhhh we aree!” wanyi said leaning towards zhanghao locking her arms with his with a cheeky smile
“EW geT AWAY FROM ME YOU VODKA SMELLING ASS”
“fuck you, i hope you get busted”
“well i AM gonna be busted there’s no time to clean all that before they come home”
“ricky! hao! wanwan! cOME PLAY WITH US”
yujin shouted while running around the yard with an electric bubble gun as gyuvin chased him behind
“no thank you”
“hoLY SHIT YESSS!” the still drunken wanyi yelled and ran down the marbled stairs and joined the others
leaving behind the two chinese boys standing still observing the chaos going on
“just let the maids clean it” ricky who stood folding his arms said breaking the silence
“they won’t clean it on time”
“oh how sad” ricky said sarcastically and hao smacked his shoulder
“dont joke around im on the verge of being grounded“
“someone vomited on your balcony by the way” ricky said as he chuckled and hao looked at him with a devastated expression
“wHAT? WHO”
“your bestie”
“hanbin?”
“NO THE FUCK- wanyi“
“ohhh it’s ok” zhanghao said casually and took out his phone dialing a number
“are you calling the polic-“
“hey mr zhou, can you tell the maids to clean up something on the-” he stopped abruptly and looked at ricky
“which floor?”
“2nd floor.. i think”
“… the balcony on the 2nd floor please thank you and please drain the fountain water too… ik it’s just that some idiot poured dish soap in it…”
“yes now…ok… please hurry…also can you turn off the blasting music thanks” he said his last words and ended the call
“see? it wont be that hard to clean the fountain”
ricky shrugged and zhanghao sighed in response
“aiGHT PARTY’S OVER PEOPLE” zhanghao shouted loudly from his stance and caught everyone’s attention
“the party just started!” gyuvin who had safety goggles said protesting by whining
“where did your goggles come from?” yujin asked
“I SAID WHAT I SAID PARTY’S OVER!”
– 22:30
“now which one of y’all motherfucking bastards threw a party at my house” zhanghao walked back and forth interrogating the 8 boys
hanbin, matthew, taerae, jiwoong, gunwook, yujin, gyuvin and ricky sat on the couch of the living room, head hung low and intimidated by zhanghao’s unusual tone
everyone except the 8 of them and wanyi had gone home while the maids were cleaning up all the trashes around them
“it was kim taerae!” finally someone spoke after long minutes of silence
it was gyuvin with much enthusiasm to blame someone else
“taerae?” zhanghao questioned in shock
“it wasn’t only me gyuvin and gunwook were in it too”
“NO IT’S NOT IT’S ALL YOU” gyuvin retorted pointing at the other two
“bITCH- you said let’s party! and i jokingly suggested hao’s place and y’all agreed!”
“tHERE! it started with taerae!”
“and Y’ALL were responsible too! you invited all the basketball players and all your fucking classmates”
taerae protested and the three including gyuvin and gunwook argued about who exactly threw the party
“SHUT THE FUCK UP” zhanghao yelled and the three froze and sat straight
“it’s all the three of you then”
GASPP “i was tricked!” jiwoong said covering his mouth
“i thought hao actually threw the party” matthew said while the rest nodded
“you could’ve informed me” the disappointed hao folded his arms looking the three guilty boys
“it’s not like i won’t allow it or anything”
“we called you multiple times you weren’t answering”
“i was at a family gathering”
“IM SO SORRY HAO” gyuvin fake cried and rubbed his two joined hands asking for forgiveness
“sorry, we got too excited”
“sorry hao”
SIGH! “it’s fine! you stupidass bitches just don’t do it again”
“THANK YOU LORD HAO”
“thANK YOU HAO!!”
“now gyuvin go help the maids clean up the fountain” zhanghao demanded and gyuvin nodded and ran out the house
“what a night” the mentally tired zhanghao sat down lazily on one of the chairs
“the party y’all threw was pretty great… but wHO THE HELL THOUGHT IT WOULD BE OK TO SUPPLY VODKA”
he started again angrily then gunwook and taerae stood up abruptly
“WE CAN HELP GYUVIN CLEAN THE FOUNTAIN AREA BYE-” they shouted and left in a blink
“that’s crazyyy“
“you guys know we’re apparently underage drinking right?” matthew asked looking at their faces
“it’s fine everyone does it”
“uhmm.. no?”
“raise your hands if you drank more than 5 shots” zhanghao said and none of them raised a hand
“then, raise your hand if you had 1-2 shots”
he asked and hanbin and jiwoong raised their hands
“it wasn’t that bad”
“yeah we have high tolerance fr”
“y’all are so weak wanwan drank more than 5 shots” matthew laughed and they realised wanyi was there with them
the remaining boys in the living room all turned their heads in sync towards the other side of the sofa where wanyi was sleeping peacefully
“y’all who’s gonna drop off wanyi” hanbin asked
“why is wanwan sleeping?” the confused yujin asked
“she’s drunk”
“who dropped her off here in the first place”
“gunwook? maybe? he used my car earlier”
jiwoong said and just then ricky who had been silent throughout the whole interaction finally cut through the silence “i’ll drop her off”
he said in a monotone voice and stood up walking towards the girl while the boys exchanged looks of confusion seeing ricky doing stuff like this
“is he ok?” yujin whispered to hanbin who just shrugged
“ricky is never like this”
“.. for the longest time yeah”
ricky gently picked the girl up and went to where he parked his car and cautiously put her down on the passenger’s seat making sure she doesn’t wake up
“you like her don’t you” zhanghao suddenly appeared behind ricky and startled the shit out of him
“what tHE FAWK–” he whisper-yelled and hao just laughed at his behavior
“aight see ya take care of wanwan for me” hao winked at the white haired boy who rolled his eyes
“whatever.. bye” he waved at his friend and went inside his car
ricky moved slowly so he wouldn’t wake the girl up and started the car playing songs from his playlist on low volume
ricky couldn’t help but steal glances at the black haired girl ; his heart warming at the sight of her serene and adorable form
the car rolled along the quiet streets and his smile deepened with each passing moment
he marveled at the way wanyi’s hair gently swayed with the breeze and how her lips curved slightly into a contented expression even in her sleep
ricky’s mind wandered reflecting on the very little moment he shared with her on the balcony earlier at the party and how close her face was to his
lost in his thoughts, ricky eventually pulled up in front of wanyi’s house
being friends with minghao he was already familiar with their house
he turned off the engine and with a sigh of contentment he reached over to gently brush a strand of hair away from her face
his touch light and careful so as not to wake her
he debated whether to wake her up or let her sleep a little longer and after a moment of contemplation, he decided to give her a few more moments of rest
leaning back in his seat he continued to watch her, a soft and affectionate smile on his lips
despite his usual initial reluctance, ricky found himself captivated by wanyi’s peaceful demeanor as she slept
he realized that he had been letting his guard down, slowly allowing her into the previously closed-off corners of his heart
he couldn’t deny the softening of his feelings towards her even if he hadn’t admitted it to himself yet
with a sigh ricky gently reached out and shook her shoulder rousing her from her slumber
despite the emotions that were subtly stirring within him, he was determined to maintain his usual cold composure
“get up sleepyhead we’re here” he said and wanyi’s eyes fluttered open and for a moment confusion clouded her expression before she realized where she was
she blinked and saw ricky, a mixture of sleepiness and realization in her gaze “why are you sitting there?“ she blinked few times attempting to focus while pointing at ricky with her finger
playfully rolling his eyes ricky stared out of the windshield “how else am i supposed to drive.”
“is that my house?”
ricky sighed at her question “yes”
the two went out of the car and ricky thought it would be nice as a gentleman he is to walk her till the gates
they stood outside her house the atmosphere tinged with an unspoken tension
ricky hesitated for a moment, then muttered without sparing a glance at her “i hope you had a decent time”
wanyi looked at him with a mix of amusement and confusion “yeah! except for the.. “
“vomiting?” ricky who was trying to maintain his cool facade couldn’t hold in his laughter
“wHAT NO!”
“you’re still a little bit drunk, what would minghao say”
“shit- i forgot about him”
“that ain’t my problem, so uh get in safely i’ll be going now”
ricky backed off slowly and wanyi waved goodbye at the taller boy with a wide smile on her face before she went in behind the gates
ricky then smiled after that and went inside his car again and drove away from wanyi’s house
the empty passenger seat beside him felt like a silent reminder of the emotions he had been grappling with
he couldn’t deny the subtle shift that had occurred within him despite his best efforts to appear unaffected
and now the forced frown he had worn seemed like a flimsy mask that barely concealed the complexity of his feelings
the memory of wanyi sleeping peacefully in his car, the way her features softened in slumber, lingered in his mind and wanted to deny all feelings at all cost
“xu wanyi what have you done to me” ricky mumbled with a deep frown
ricky’s grip on the steering wheel tightened as he wrestled with his conflicting emotions ; his sharp gaze not leaving the road while chase atlantic songs loudly echoed in his car
he had spent so long avoiding emotional entanglements building walls to protect himself from getting hurt after a serious conflict with an ex girlfriend
but wanyi had managed to seep through those barriers, evoking feelings he hadn’t anticipated nor wanted to confront
– 00:15
as he pulled into his driveway, ricky cut the engine and leaned back in his seat
the silence of the night surrounded him, allowing his thoughts to consume him entirely
he couldn’t deny that he was drawn to wanyi and that he had begun to appreciate the warmth she brought into his life
but i don’t want to feel this way..
the fear of vulnerability and the uncertainty of opening up warred with his newfound connection
he had to face the truth and the fact that he was no longer the person he used to be
the question that remained was whether he would embrace these feelings and learn to love again, or continue to fight against them which he preferred in order to not get hurt
wanyi had managed to awaken something within him, something he couldn’t ignore no matter how hard he tried
ricky’s luxurious mansion loomed ahead as he parked his car in the driveway
the extravagant lifestyle he led was a stark contrast to the internal conflict he was currently facing
after arriving by the front door ricky quietly pushed open the door
the sprawling foyer was dimly lit with warm colours but as he stepped in, motion-activated lights illuminated the space
and that was when ricky’s peaceful return was interrupted by an unexpected surprise because he saw a figure dressed in fully white standing not really far away from him
“WHAT THE FUCK” ricky yelled and took off his leather jacket throwing it on her
“hEY! IT’S ME”
“oh i thought you were the nun”
“HAHAHAHA YOU SHOULD’VE SEEN YOUR FACE”
“hEY THAT WAS NOT FUN”
“it IS fun i’ve been waiting for hours for that”
“you stood there for hours?”
“yeah” xiaoting smiled cheekily at ricky who sighed loudly in pure frustration
“go to sleep xiaoting.. im tired”
“why”
“IM TIRED!”
“why”
“can you stop questioning me you’re worse than a reporter with questions oh my gosh” ricky exaggerated and walked towards their kitchen
“im gonna raid the kitchen”
“ooohh late night feast? i wanna eat too”
“xiaoting get away from me you look like the nun” ricky grabbed the last noodles and looked at his sister with a proud smile “A-HAH GOT THE LAST ONE go cry about it bitch”
“i don’t even want to eat ramen” xiaoting rolled her eyes opening the fridge
the siblings roamed around the kitchen looking for food and argued occasionally
“hEY I SAVED THAT FOR ME TO EAT”
“IT’S BEEN HERE FOR WEEKS YOU’RE NOT EVEN EATING IT”
“IT’S STILL MINE”
