The Chinese boy walked through the amusement park with a bright smile and dialed Kai’s number at some point. The phone tooted for a while until the sun-kissed dancer picked up.

“Hello, Jongin? Can you- Can you help me?” Luhan faked a shaky voice into to the phone and chuckled silently, covering his lips so that Kai could not hear it, “I’m at the amusement park and I- I lost my way… Can you please come pick me up? I- I don’t know where to- Where to go… No, I’m not drunk… I just drank… a little, just a little… hehehe… Oh, really? Thank you! I’m at the Ferris wheel…”

Then Kai hung up. Luhan laughed all amused by his own great performance skills. He had taken acting lessons alongside his short modeling career in China, before he decided to do dancing instead of all of it.

“Now it’s just a matter of time.” he whispered to himself and walked to the gigantic Ferris wheel that brightened the night sky with its rainbow-colored lights.

Taemin waited in front of there. It was freezing cold. His breath vaporized in the air. The lights of the amusement park shone brightly. People were still outside enjoying the last hours of the night. Some were drunk, others were sober. They had fun, they singed, played or waited for their turns on the numerous rides of different attractions.

“Where is he?” Taemin hissed all annoyed and threw a glance at his watch.

Time ticked fast, but Luhan did not appear anytime soon. Instead, the foreign student watched the handsome senior from afar, sipping hot chocolate clenched tight in his hands and grinned all amused by Taemin’s impatient sight. Luhan waited for the junior to arrive.

꧁༺ ༻꧂

Onew had left Kai’s room. He had gone to Jungah’s instead. He would remain with her tonight. It was the first time that a boyfriend of hers stayed at their place, in her room to be specific. Kai felt a little uneasy, but well there was nothing he could do about it. He believed that at least Onew would console her and make her feel better.

Kai picked up his remaining clothes from the ground and put them all in the basket, where his dirty laundry was. He cleaned his desk, and then he took a brief glance at the piano. He missed playing it, but he was hurt to touch it either. After his father died, his family basically fell apart. His mother and other sister left Jungah and him behind, leaving the boy scarred for his life. He used to play the piano for his mother, but since she was gone, he had stopped. He had started dancing instead. It made him forget all his sorrow about his family situation. Kai sighed sadly and turned away to go to bed. He was done cleaning his room. He had felt ashamed that the clumsy senior had seen it in such a messy state. Kai stretched as he got on his bed and grabbed his phone, when he checked the group chat of his boys, he noticed that Luhan was kicked out by Suho. He lifted a single brow in confusion. There were no messages in the chat about this matter. Kai looked at the clock that hung on the wall above his desk. It was quite late, thus he did not want to annoy his friends, but he would definitely call Chanyeol tomorrow morning about the sudden change in their group chat. Right when he was putting away his phone, it started ringing. Kai was surprised to see Luhan’s name on his display.

“Hello? Huh?” he answered the call a little confused, “Where are you? Uh. Picking you up? Are you… Are you drunk? Uh, a little? You sound drunk. Okay, I’ll get there. Uh. Where are you exactly? Okay, wait for me.”

Kai hung up and got back up to change into some warm clothes. He forgot to take his phone with him and left his room silently, to not disturb Jungah and Onew’s sleep, or whatever they were up to do. He then left home and waited for a taxi.

꧁༺ ༻꧂

Sehun sat on his bed and stared at the ceiling for hours. Baekhyun knit his brows and tried to do some homework, but he could not focus. He was bothered by Luhan’s words. He fidgeted his pen nervously and bit his cheek in deep thoughts. Then he turned around on his chair and glanced at his roommate, who had been sitting on his bed all silently since they had come back to their dorm.

“Sehun… There’s something about Luhan that’s not sitting right with me… Do you remember the hacker in the university’s chat with the message for senior Taemin? Do you think there could be a connection to Luhan with this? He acted all up tonight and then he said something disturbing to Chanyeol… He likes someone else...” Baekhyun informed his best friend after a while and as the latter did not respond, he threw his pen at his roommate, making him flinch and come to his senses, “Hey! Aren’t you listening?”

Sehun nodded apologetic and scratched his forehead. His mind was on something else, someone else to be exact. He thought of Kyungsoo and their kiss in the basement. It felt surreal. It made Sehun’s heart flutter. After Chanyeol got a ride home from the cinema via taxi, the three remaining boys had walked to their places. Baekhyun had noticed that something had changed among Sehun and Kyungsoo, but he did not ask about it yet. The face of his best friend was all red and his other buddy, who got tutored by Jonghyun, could not say anything. Baekhyun had been the only one talking on their way, ranting over Luhan. When the paths separated, Sehun and Kyungsoo awkwardly said their goodbyes and Baekhyun felt even more silly about it than before. It was a horrible night with Chanyeol and Luhan fighting, and it ended awkwardly with Sehun and Kyungsoo being all shy. Well, now that they were in their dorm room, Sehun had been dozing off the entire time.

“Alright, what happened between you guys?” Baekhyun finally asked curiously and crossed his arms, while he looked at his roommate.

Sehun shrugged and clenched his lips. He seemed nervous, not as confident as he normally was. Baekhyun noticed the uneasiness surrounding his roommate and he slowly got up. He went to Sehun and sat next to him on the bed. Baekhyun raised a brow and glanced at his best friend from aside with a mischievous smile.

“Kyungsoo and you… Are you guys dating now?” he dug deeper with a big grin and moving his brows up and down.

Sehun blushed and covered his mouth and nose with his slim hand and hesitated first, but then he nodded with his eyes shut. Baekhyun cheered loudly and jumped up, stretching his arms up high to the sky. He then turned back to the blonde student and fist bumped his upper arm to congratulate him. Sehun gulped nervously, he was still under the spell of their first kiss.

“So, did you tell Kyungsoo about your past with Luhan?” Baekhyun added another question.

Sehun shook his head and told the skilled pianist, that Kyungsoo did not care about his past with Luhan, since it was all before they had known each other. But he also added that if one day his beloved one changed his mind about this, he would not hesitate and tell him the truth straight away. Baekhyun clapped proudly and showed a thumbs up because he felt good about Sehun’s feelings for Kyungsoo. His best friend was perfectly loyal and determined about the person he once started to like. If Baekhyun had not fallen for Chanyeol first, he might have had developed feelings for his roommate. But well, the playful athlete had conquered his heart in their freshmen years.

꧁༺ ༻꧂

Jonghyun had taken a shower. He dried his hair and put on some fresh pair of boxers. He felt overwhelmed about the entire day. He needed a break from all of this. The thought of Luhan exposing everyone was just painful for him. Also, because Suho was right there. Jonghyun wondered if the polite student was doing fine about this. They might no longer be friends, but the lyrical genius still cared for him. Back when they were getting along well, Suho had been one of the nicest and most supportive people the senior knew. Luhan saying all these things about them was plainly horrible. Suho deserved better. The lyrical genius sighed as he walked out of the bathroom. He briefly glanced at Minho, who was still fast asleep on his bed. Jonghyun flared his nostrils and clenched his lips in silence as he watched the sleeping roommate. Yes, his heart had skipped a beat earlier, but still there was Key, whom he liked way too much to suddenly cut all ties with him. Then Jonghyun thought about what Taemin had said before he left, them handling it together. A . with two people at the same time? The idea of it was too much for him. Jonghyun blushed and shook his head. Nope, he did not like the idea at all. Besides, Minho disliked Key.

“Why…?” the athlete talked in his sleep out of the blue and turned around, “Like me back… I like you too…”

Jonghyun lifted his brows in sorrow, hearing his roommate say these things. Although he knew about Minho’s feelings towards him, he simply could not accept them. The lyrical genius sat on his own bed and dialed Key’s number late at this hour and the call was instantly answered.

“Hey Key…” he said with a tired and oppressed mood, “Can I come over to your place? Uh. Uh, I know that you are sick… But I really need a shoulder to cry on… Yeah, I’m not doing good. Yeah? Thank you. I’ll be right there.”

Jonghyun then dressed up, put on his thick jacket, glanced one last time at the sleeping charismatic student and left the dorm.

꧁༺ ༻꧂

Minho opened his eyes to the sound of the closing door and slowly got up. He looked left and right and noticed that neither of his roommates were here anymore. He cleared his throat as he felt thirsty due to the alcohol and got up on his shaky legs to get himself something to drink. His head was still spinning. Then suddenly Jonghyun’s piano caught his attention. The drunk senior walked up to it, brushed his fingers over its shiny black surface and as soon as he reached the keyboard, he opened the lid of it. He arbitrarily pressed some keys and made the piano sound like it was crying. Minho knit his brows and clenched his fists. He was angry. He was hurt. Angry, because his friends had left him alone in a drunken state. Hurt, because Jonghyun would not accep
