Jeonghan pushed himself off the counter and followed the members out of the door and down to the street. Jihoon and Soonyoung said the club was close enough to walk, so they began trecking in the direction they said it was. 

Jeonghan shivered. It was colder than he thought, and he didn't have a jacket. 

A moment later, Seungcheol appeared next to him. "Are you cold?" The rapper asked. 

Jeonghan shrugged. "A little." 

"Here." Jeonghan glanced to his right as Seungcheol shrugged off his leather jacket and draped it over Jeonghan's shoulders. "That better?" 

"Yeah," he replied, his voice shaky from the small amount of space between them. Seungcheol smiled. 

"Good." 

Just then, Jeonghan heard the heavy bass and looked up. They were standing outside the club, a two-story building with iridescent strobe lights. Jihoon murmured something to the security gaurd, who nodded and let them in. 

Jeonghan stared around, mesmerized by the flashing lights and the sound of people having a good time. 

"Welcome," Jihoon said, holding his arms out. "To Iridesence."

Vernon whistled in appreciation. 

"Okay kids," Seungcheol called. "Tonight, we have fun. But there will still be a few rules. Stay in groups of two or more, because as I will more than likely be drunk, Jeonghan will need to locate you all, and that will be easier for him." 

"Why me?" Jeonghan asked crossing his arms. 

"Because you're second oldest, and the mom, and becuase I said so," Seungcheol replied without looking at him. Jeonghan cast him an unimpressed look, but went with it. "Second," Seungcheol continued. "If you are underage," the rapper coughed, and the names Dino, Vernon and Seungkwan were heard in the midst of the fake hacking. "Do. Not. Drink. If me or one of us hyungs catches you drinking, then you get to go home and hang out with Ming and Yuri." He looked at the younger members in turn. "Okay, I think that's it. Seventeen get turnt!" Seungcheol whooped, and everybody cheered before scattering.

Jeonghan watched them all go as he stood with a slightly overexcited puppy named Seungcheol. Dino, Vernon and Seungkwan all trotted off somewhere, and Jeonghan had a sinking suspicion that they were going to get into all sorts of trouble tonight. He wondered briefly if it would have been better to leave them at home, then shook his head. None of them would have enjoyed that, and they would've spent the next week and a half pouting over it. Mingyu dragged Wonwoo up to the second level and disappeared into the thick crowds of young adults. Jun and Minghao crept off somewhere with cute smiles on their faces, Joshua and Seokmin sat down on one of the couches off to the side, and Soonyoung had dragged Jihoon onto the dancefloor. 

Jeonghan looked at Seungcheol. "Where to first?" He asked. 

Seungcheol grinned. "I need a drink." 

Jeonghan rolled his eyes but let himself be dragged to a bar in the back. He and Seungcheol slid onto the stools next to each other. Seungcheol ordered some weird fancy drink that Jeonghan had never heard of, while Jeonghan himself, ordered a glass of cherry coke. 

"To a fantastic night," Seungcheol siad, holding up his glass. Jeonghan raised his own. 

Seungcheol took a big gulp of his drink and Jeonghan simply set his down. "I'd rather have wine," he muttered. 

"Yeah, well, you're still recovering from yesterday, so no," Seungcheol replied. Jeonghan merely rolled his eyes and spun around on his stool. He immediatly spotted Jihoon and Soonyoung facing off in the middle of the dancefloor in an all out dance competition. He nudged Seungcheol, who spun around as well and grinned. 

"This is going to get interesting," he said, sipping his drink noisily. Jeonghan slapped his arm. 

He peered at the two. "Don't you think they've gotten closer since their fight?" 

"Well, their fight was only last night," Seungcheol replied. "Hey that, rhymed!" He exclaimed like a little kid, before taking a thankfully calmer sip of his drink. 

Ignoring his friend, Jeonghan continued to look at the two on the dancefloor. "I know their fight was last night, but well, just look at them!" He gestured at the two as Jihoon pulled some kind of move and the crowd around them let out whoops. Despite the fact that they were standing opposite of each other, the two sort of seemed to gravitate towards the other. Jeonghan saw Jihoon blush as Soonyoung began his next dance with a flirtatious gesture towards the singer. 

"What, do you think they're you know, dating?" Seungcheol lowered his voice.

"I don't know, but there is definitely something different about the way they're treating each other." Jeonghan continued to peer at the two. 

"Well, whatever it is, I'm sure they'll tell us eventually," Seungcheol said, finishing his drink. "I'll have another," he told the bartender. Jeonghan raised an eyebrow skeptically. 

"Don't over do it Seungcheol," he warned.

"You worry too much, Hannie!" The rapper laughed, taking a long drink. Hannie? Jeonghan blinked. What is that all about? He decided to shake it off. He was here to have fun, not worry about his relationship with the rapper.

Jeonghan turned his attention back to the club. He briefly spotted Dino, Vernon and Seungkwan creeping through the crowds behind Soonyoung, but quickly lost them to the swarms of people. Joshua was sipping something on the couch, looking like he was trying not to laugh. Jeonghan followed his gaze and saw Vernon pop up briefly with a sly smirk. Jeonghan narrowed his eyes at the young rapper, but Vernon hadn't noticed him. Rolling his eyes, Jeonghan looked at Seokmin who was signalling something into the crowd. Those idiots, Jeonghan thought to himself, turning his attention to the edges of the club. He blinked when he saw Jun and Minghao kissing in a more secluded corner. Jeonghan nudged Seungcheol. 

"Look at those two," he cooed. 

"You sound like a proud mother," Seungcheol told him. Jeonghan glared at him. 

"Whatever. Just look." 

Seungcheol observed to two and smiled. "They really are perfect for each other." Jeonghan hummed in agreement. 

"Minghao needs someone to protect him - even if he can do a literally killer job doing that himself - and Jun needs someone to love unconditionally." He siad. 

"Very true." 

Jeonghan glanced at Seungcheol and saw, to his dismay, that Seungcheol was on his third drink. 

"Seungcheol!" He exclaimed, plucking the drink out of the rappers hand. Seungcheol protested and tried to reach for it, but Jeonghan pulled the classic Stiff Arm, his hand against the rapper's chest. "You should not be drinking this much." 

"Give it back!" Seungcheol whined petulantly. 

"No." Jeonghan fixed the elder with his famous Don't Disobey Your Mother Look and set the drink down before grabbing Seungcheol's wrist. "We are going to dance," he said, dragging a reluctant Seungcheol away from the bar. "And you," he said, pulling up short on the dancefloor. "Are going to forget about that drink and like it." 

Jihoon protested as Soonyoung dragged him away from the dancefloor and up to the second story. 

"But Soonyoung-" he broke off as a random person bumped into him roughly. "Why can't we stay downstairs?"

"Everbody else is downstairs, that's why." 

Jihoon shut his mouth, fighting the blush that Soonyoung had caused. 

Soonyoung pulled him onto a couch and wrapped an arm around his waist. Normally, Jihoon could handle skinship with the dancer, but now the contact made him uncomfortabl. He slipped out of Soonyoung's grip. 

The dancer looked at him in bewilderment. "What's wrong Jihoonie?"

Slightly uncomfortable, Jihoon replied, "There's too many people." 

Soonyoung took his hand. "They probably don't even recognize us." 

"There's also those two," Jihoon siad defiantly, pointing at the rather disturbing image of Wonwoo pressed against a wall by Mingyu, who was passionately kissing up and down the elder's neck. 

Soonyoung coughed awkwardly. "Okay, fair point." 

"Thank you." 

"But they seem pretty occupied at the moment." 

"Soonyoung!" Jihoon snapped. "If you're going to be like this then I'm leaving." He stood up and stalked away, ignoring the distressed calls of his secret boyfriend. He paused by Mingyu and Wonwoo before loudly saying, "Get a room," and heading back downstairs. 

Jihoon shoved his way through the dancefloor, pushing couples out of the way. He supposed he could go hang out with Jisoo and Seokmin. 

Not really paying attention to where he was going, Jihoon ran straight into someone. Jihoon looked up at the person, seeing a tall, fairly attractive guy looking down at him. 

"Sorry," he muttered, and turned to walk away, but a hand on his wrist stopped him. 

"Hey cutie," the man murmured deeply in his ear. "Why don't you tell me your name?" 

Jihoon wrenched his arm out of the man's grip. "Get away from me, you ert!" He tried to run away, but the man grabbed him from behind. 

"Don't be afriad," the man said huskily. "I'll make you feel good." 

Chills rippled up Jihoon's spine, turning his blood to ice. 

"Hey!" A voice called. It sounded familiar, but in his terror, Jihoon couldn't place it. "Let him go!" 

The man held him tighter. "Who are you to tell me what to do?"

"His boyfriend."

Jihoon blinked. 

Soonyoung.

The man chuckled. "Is that so?" Well," he paused and a stripe up Jihoon's neck, sending a feeling of disgust through him. "Not anymore." 

Just like that, the feeling of the man holding him was gone. Jihoon collapsed to the floor, shaking. He looked up and saw that Soonyoung had tackled the man and was punching him repleatedly. 

"Stay away from him," Soonyoung growled. The man snarled in reply, but shoved Soonyoung off him and stood up, slinking away through the crowd. 

Soonyoung rushed over an kneeled in front of Jihoon. 

"Oh, god, are you okay? Did he hurt you?" 

Jihoon shook his head. He didn't even realize that he was crying untill Soonyoung wiped away his tears. The dancer drew him forward and Jihoon burried his face in Soonyoung's broad chest, shaking and crying. 

"Shhh," Soonyoung calmed him, his hair. "It's okay, I'm here. I'll protect you."

Jihoon pulled away, searching Soonyoung's face. "You promise? You'll protect me?"

"Of course, Ji. I will always protect you."

Acting on impulse, Jihoon leaned forward and connected their lips. The dancer reacted immediatly, gently carressing Jihoon's face. Their lips slanted together perfectly, the slow rhythmcalming Jihoon. 

"Come on," Soonyoung mumured, pulling away but keeping his forehead on Jihoon's. "Let's get you something to drink. You're pretty shaken up." The dancer pulled Jihoon to his feet and they slowly walked over to the bar in the back, Soonyoung's fingers intertwined with Jihoon's.
