Jeongin sat in the backseat of a cab, as it drove slowly down the crowded streets of Seoul. He kept glancing down at his phone, checking to see if he got the address right. Soon the cab made a stop infront of the bar Chan had,somehow, talked Jeongin into coming to. He thanked the driver, paying him,before stepping out of the vehicle. As he walked into the bar a wind,of what he though,was alcohol and beer filled his nostrils. He looked around the crowded area unable to find the familiar face he had hoped to see. He heard a slightly higher pitched voice call out to him.As he turned around,he saw a boy he knew from his high school chemistry class,Jisung was his name, waving at him standing up from his seat. He was confused as to how this boy knew his name but he soon saw Chan and the rest of his friends. He felt relieved and slowly walked towards the table. Soon they all greeted him with smiles on their faces,some already holding beer cans in their hand,one of which was Chan himself. Chan looked at Jeongin and smiled looking down at the empty seat next to him to which the younger had smiled back and sat down in said seat.
“Think this is my first time seeing you out in a bar” Chan said with a chuckle chugging down his beer.
Jungen nodded sheepishly.” This is going to be my first and last time at a bar”He admits,his voice a bit louder,due to the volume of the music in the bar.
“So you’re telling me,you’ve never been to a bar?I’m guessing you’ve never even gotten drunk before huh?”Chan said with a small laugh.
Jeongin could feel the heat rush to his cheeks as he felt embarrassed to admit
the truth. He looked around and saw that everyone had an alcoholic beverage in their hand.
“So what are you gonna drink then?”.Chan said with a smirk
“I’ll take a water thank you.”Jeongin said sarcastically,before ordering a light beer for himself
“So you do drink!” Chan said quirking and eyebrow,to which Jeongin responded with an eye roll,looking at the waitress,as she hands him his drink.
“I don’t drink.I just got this so I wasn’t left out.”The younger said as he looked at the rest of Chans friends,who were infact drinking heavily.
“Are you even sure you’re allowed to drink, that aren’t you underage?”Chan teased.
The younger just rolls his eyes and swats Chan’s hand,which was going in to poke his cheek.
“What?Aren’t I saying the truth?you’re like fifteen or something.”Chan said,with a teasing smirk.
“I am not underage, nor am I fifteen.Im twenty-one!”Jeongin said proudly.
Chan’s jaw dropped and he looked at Jeongin in utter shock.”You’re …you’re twenty-one?!” Chad asked still shocked and confused.
Jeongin just chuckled taking a sip from his drink,nodding.”yeah Im twenty-one.Im four years younger than you, don’t you remember?”.
Chan looked at Jeongin and then down to his hands,and started counting on his fingers looking confused.
Jeongin laughed and started counting with him.”see twenty….twenty-one! which makes you twenty-five.Youre so old!” The younger teased and poked Chan’s muscular arm.Slight blush creeping on his cheeks at the skinship.
“Hey im not that old!Im in my fine years,thank you very much” Chan answered with a snappy attitude
“You just keep telling yourself that..Although..You are slowly entering your LATE twenties..So id say youre pretty damn old” Jeongin continued teasing,his hand slowly itching its way back to Chan’s arm,he wasnt so sure if he should continue with this action,but..Chan wadnt pulling away or even seeming like he minded the skinship,so Jeongin just kept on lightly touching Chan’s arm.
After a while the loud laughing and chattering quited down,most of the people in the bar had left.They were all quietly talking amongst themselfs,well Jeongin and Chan were in their own little world,which didnt go unnoticed by the rest of the people sitting with them.
As Jeongin and Chan were talking,the younger couldnt help but let out a soft yawn,placing his palm over his mouth.Chan chuckled softly,finding the sight endearing.”You tired?”
Jeongin nodded slowly,keeping his eyes barely open.As his eyes would unknowingly shut,his eyelashes would rest onto his now rozy cheeks for a split second,before opening up again and glistering under the ambient light of the,now empty bar.
“Why dont we go home then?”Chan said as he stood up,offering Jeongin a hand.Reaching for his hand,the younger felt butterflies,he didnt quite understand why but..He never wanted to let go of Chan’s hand ever again.
“Where are you two going?” Minho asked,a sleepy Jisung barely holding his eyes open as he rested his cheek onto Minho’s shoulder.
“Im taking Jeongin home.Anyone need a lift?” Chan said,still holding onto Jeongin’s hand loosely.
“Nah,Changbin is driving us back” Minho answered.”his home or?” He added with a slight smirk.
“Yeah,his home.Where else?” Chan said,as he gave Jeongin’s hand a light squeeze.Minho and the rest just shared a silent cheeky smile exchange.
They made their way to Chan’s car.The younger’s steps slightly slowed as he shuffled next to Chan,who opened the passenger door.Jeongin climbed in and immediattely slumped into the soft seat.Soon followed in Chan,who just chuckled when he saw the younger.
“Hey…Innie..Youre home..need help getting out?” Chan chuckled and lightly shook the younger’s shoulders,as he stopped the car infront of Jeongin’s apartment complex.
“Mmm..~” The younger’s soft features furrowed,as he nuzzled the side off his head against Chan’s hand that was squeezing his shoulder.
“Come on Innie..”
“..five more minutes…”
Chan chuckled and lightly pushed Jeongin forward,straightening his back.”Nope,now come on,you cant sleep in my car forever”
Jeongin let out a soft whine,reaching up to rub his sleepy eyes.”Fine…Can you walk me to my apartment..?..please?”
Chan sighs,but nods.”Fine,c’mon.”He gets out the car and walks over to the passenger seat door,opening it and putting his hand in Jeongin’s reach.He felt the younger’s soft palms against his own,clutching onto it softly as he stood out the car.Instead of letting go of his hand,Chan kept holding Jeongin’s hand,slightly tighter then before.
They stand infront of the door,waiting for Jeongin to find his keys.Once he finally pulled out the key with the most keychains on it,he put it in the lock and twisted,a soft click was heard and the door creeked open.
The younger turned to Chan and smiled softly.”Thanks for the lift..And for inviting me tonight,i had fun”
“Yeah,of course! Now youre more than welcome to come anytime were all hanging out” he smiles and reassures the younger.”Well then,goodnight Jeongin,Text ‘ya in the morning”
“..Yeah..Night Channie..”
