„Jongi, you're free right now?“

„Workin' my precious off at the youth club … Ok kiddin' come around, there's not that much up today. Wassup anyway?“

„Tellin' you when I'm there, see U.“

Jongin puts his phone away, frowning.

What's up with that little er again?

There is barely a week going by without Baekhyun nagging about something, anything.

If Jongin wouldn't know better, he'd downright suggested that Baekhyun is knocked up, ed by his precious life.

He sighs.

Something inside his gut tells him this time it'd be something completely different though, Baekhyun normally never sent texts this taciturn, except for him being severely peeved or depressed. One of the latter two just has to be the case right now.

So Jongin takes a few quick steps towards the fridge, grabbing two cooled bottles before heading outside to look for Baekhyuns car pulling up into the parking lot.

It doesn't take long before he hears the familiar sound of the engine being tormented before being switched out.

He clearly notices the sound of a car door being thumped before footsteps head towards the club.

Jongin startles a little as he spots his best friend.

Deep, dark shades carved their way under his big round eyes now looking kind of dull, his face somehow looks sunken and pale, as if a real bad flu had taken a firm hold of him for a couple of weeks.

His overall behaviour looks stashing and avoiding with his shoulders hunched and his head hung low.

Jongin proceeds to hug him tight, exclaiming as cheerful as possible: „Alright, before you say anything else, let's get out of here. You need some serious caretaking right now, meaning we'll get some cheap whiskey on the go.“

Baekhyun, clearly confused pulls back, arching a questioning eyebrow at his best friend.

„You sure you can leave just like that? It's totally fine staying here …“

But Jongin shakes his head, insisting on leaving the club.

„Sehun is up in here in a couple of minutes, I'll just send him a message. That er owes me big times anyway. Come on, I'm keen on riding your new car.“

Eventually, after protesting for a couple of minutes, Baekhyun gives in, unlocking his new, shiny black car with automatic keys.

Jongin climbs in completely excited, immediately starting to fumble with the music system until loud rock music blasts through every speaker.

„Insane“, he shouts to drown out the music, nodding his head along to the wild riffs, imitating a guitar as Baekhyun swiftly steered the car onto the streets.

A faint smile curls Baekhyuns lips upwards as he pulled in for a local supermarket.

As both walk out with a decent amount of cheap alcohol, Baekhyun parks his car near their favorite spot and both climb up the rooftop that offers an incredible view over the city.

Busy streets and crowded places unravel before their eyes as they settle down comfortably, the few bottles spread out infront.

As Jongin had settled down comfortably, he takes a close look at Baekhyun. „So what's going on Baek? You never text me like this, needless to say you look horrible.“

Baekhyuns gaze fixes the dusty ground slightly awkward before he mumbles something Jongin couldn't understand.

„Huh? What was that?“

„ … Taeyeon … uhm … kinda cheated on me.“

„Did WHAT?!“ Jongin jumps up immediately, staring at Baekhyun in disbelief.

Baekhyun, clearly embarassed by the whole situation, lowers his head even more, nervously fumbling with his hands.

„Uhm … yeah“, is all he could mutter under his breath, still playing with his fingers nervously.

Jongin meanwhile couldn't believe what he had just heard and frantically paces up and down.

„More details Baek, I can't forge out plans for revenge with just that.“

„Jongi, please. This isn't easy to talk about, I'm sure you don't understand that but … this still hurts as hell so come down ok?“

Jongin sighs, crouching down besides his best friend, eyeing him sympathetically. „I'm sorry Baek. I didn't mean to force you, really. I just can't believe someone like Taeyeon would be able to do something as low as that.“

Hearing what he thought all along, Baekhyun turns his head, avoiding Jongins gaze at all cost.

„Thanks for reminding, I'd never expected that either.“ He sighs. „With her ex goddamnit. That lil wimp. I'll never forget that dirty grin when he saw me. God knows what he told her to get her laid.“

Jongins eyes widen with every word Baekhyun hisses. „Her … ex?! That -er, really?!“

„Yeah, her ex, for the hundreth time“, Baekhyun hisses, clearly annoyed, opening the first bottle.

„Woah easy Baek“, Jongin holds his hands in defense, popping open a bottle of beer, „you wanted to meet me after all.“

„I know“, Baekhyun answers, taking a deep breath to calm himself down, „it's just … I really don't wanna think about it, it's so …“ He lowers his head, proceeding to fix the ground.

Jongin moves in closer, laying a hand on Baekhyuns shoulder. „I know what you mean Baek.“

Jongins attempt on being understanding is met with a sarcastic smile.

„As if. You're the one who'se being cheated with oftentimes after all. But thanks … I know you just wanna help.“

„My life depends on your benevolence after all.“

Baekhyun a surprised eyebrow at his friend. „Say what?“

„Who else would risk his pretty for mine when goes down?“ Jongin grins, sipping on his beer.

Even Baekhyun chuckles slightly, taking a sip of his own.

„You're unbelievable Jongi.“

A comfortable silence takes place for a while, Baekhyun und Jongin occasionally taking sips of their bottles.

It wasn't until Baekhyun quietly spoke up again that either of them sais a word.

„Jongi?“

„Hm?“

„Uhm … I … well I gotta talk to you about something. But promise me you won't get mad ok? Please!“

Taken aback by Baekhyuns words, a slight frown finds it's way up to Jongins forehead. What on earth could have happened again?

A hundret different possibilities start to spin around in his head, almost half of them including Chanyeol. Slight nervousness crawls up Jongins spine as he sais:

„Ok? Well shoot.“

„You promise you won't get mad?

„Promised. Now put me out of this misery already will ya?“

With a shaky sigh, Baekhyun begins: „Ok. You know the night … it … happened, I met someone by accident.“

Chanyeol, a hundret percent.

„And he kinda tried to make me feel better.“

Wait they didn't hook up, did they?!

„And then things got quite … deep.“

Ew, they did hook up!

„You didn't hook up with that redhead bastard did you??“, Jongin blurts out as he couldn't take it any longer, his eyes widely opened.

„Wait, WHAT??“ Baekhyun stares at his best friend in complete shock and confusion, shaking his head to gain back his composure.

„Wait THAT'S what you thought?! Hell no no no.“ As if to shake off the awkward thoughts, Baekhyun grabs his hair, ruffling it violently.

„No“, he confirms again, starting to explain, „ok yes it was Chanyeol but before you say anything listen, please“, he begs as he sees Jongins mouth already open, ready to protest, „he found me completely drenched infront of a random cafe. You know weather is a right now and it started to rain cat's and dogs. I guess he noticed I was bawling my eyes out and invited me for a coffee to warm me up. He didn't try anything, just … well he wanted to know what's up obviously and we kind of talked. In the end I wanted to leave and he showed me something … quite horrific.“

„We're not talking about his poor lil are we?“

„WHAT? No!! Jongi! Sometimes you're such a pain in the you know that?“

Jongin grins triumphatically. „Of course I do. Now tell me what's been that … horrific you said?“

„Well I don't know how to put it. He started crying all of the sudden and dragged me along to the graveyard to show me something. I didn't know what this was all about. The time we got there he showed me a gravestone with the name of a kid written on it. He said it was his … well twin. He died at age ten.“

Surely shocked by the story, Jongin still couldn't make out what this is all about.

„Uhm ok?“

„Listen. He said I reminded him of his younger brother in many ways and that's why he acted the way he acted towards me. I know it doesn't make things any less painful or justified but … argh, heck I don't know what to think of it.“

To be honest Baekhyun isn't alone with that right now.

Jongin sits there, equally confused.

„You mad at me now?“; Baekhyun asks ruefully after Jongin hadn't said anything for minutes.

„Mad?“, he let's out a chuckle and Baekhyun slowly relaxes, „oh no Baekki I'm confused as hell. Thinking about the possibility of Chanyeol making up some vile plan to get you to with him.“

„Jongi!! As if this isn't hard enough already.“

„Ok ok alright. Perhaps he told you the truth but now what? He talked about you as if you were the most repelling person on earth. Perhaps you can forget about this but I surely can't.“

With an agonized expression Baekhyun sighs heavily. „I know. Goddamnit I know but I feel sorry for him in some kind of way. He seemed genuine for once …“

„Well yeah for once but how's that gonna be in a couple of weeks huh? He'll be the same in no time Baekki and you'll be left with the same heartbreak you've already suffered.“

„You really think so?“

A look into Baekhyuns pained face is already enough for Jongin to regret his words.

He knows talking about that isn't easy for Baekhyun and now he's met with nothing but lecturing again.

„Listen, I'm sorry if I sound kinda mean in here but I'm just … I'm just scared he hurts you again like before.“

He takes Baekhyuns face in his hands like a precious jewel. „I don't wanna see you suffer like that ever again.“

With a gentle smile, Baekhyun takes off the latters hands. „I know you care about me and I really appreciate that but in the end it's my life and you're not gonna live it for me as much as I wished to sometimes.“

Both chuckle and Baekhyun throws his empty bottle off the roof.

„You'll know what's good for you. And if you need me to beat the living daylights outta that er just gimme a call alright?“

Baekhyuns face lights up with relief. „Thanks for understanding, it means a lot. Now come on let's drink on anything but Taeyeon and talk about how much of a ing she is.“

„Now we're talkin'“, Jongin grins, opening the next bottle.
