"CHEERS!"

Two bottles of beer and a can of cola are raised in the air for a toast. After they chug their respective drinks, Luhan bows and waves his hand like a politician as he receives their applause. Sehun and Kyungsoo are clapping elegantly, meanwhile Jongin is clapping like a seal.

"Now that I passed the exam and I'm definitely graduating college, tonight is my treat!" Luhan says confidently, "Eat and drink all you want. It's on me!"

It's like a blink of an eye. One moment Sehun is seeing the lady arriving to bring drinks and more meat to grill on their table, and then next, he is now facing two wasted people giggling and swaying their empty bottles in the air.

This is why Sehun doesn't like drinking that much. He will have to end up embarrassing himself like this.

"Ohhhhh!!! This is so cuuuteee! Hihihihi," Luhan hiccups while grinning at a piece of shrimp on top of his hand, "Mommy is gonna take you homeeeee!!!"

Sehun slaps his forehead.

"Give me that," Kyungsoo slurs and eats the shrimp on Luhan's hand. He finishes with a burp. "I want more...." He gets an empty bowl and tries to pour it, but he frowns when nothing comes out. "There's no moreee...."

"FUCKKKK, WHY'D YOU EAT IT!!!" Luhan cries while grabbing Kyungsoo's collar, shaking him furiously. Kyungsoo fixes the uneven specs on his face while blinking drowsily at the pouting male in front of him. "Nooooo! Give it baaaack!"

The two had so much to drink, taking bottles after bottles of beer and soju, and no matter how Sehun tried to stop them, they wouldn't listen. Jongin finally returns from the restroom after a minute, sitting beside Sehun finishing his cola.

"They're so drunk. Let's take them home."

"You wanna see something cute first?" Jongin asks Sehun who just shrugs as a reply. He snaps his fingers at Kyungsoo. "Kyungsoo. Look here, baby."

Kyungsoo blinks slowly, turning to look at Jongin. He shoves Luhan away while the drunk male talks to a slice of pork left on the grill.

"Penguin! Show us how a penguin walks, Kyungsoo," Jongin says, and at the mention of the word, Kyungsoo sluggishly stands up and does a penguin walk while flapping his hands on his side. Jongin laughs hysterically and slaps the table, "Very good! How about a hamster!?"

Sehun secretly gets his phone and takes a video of it.

"Like thisss," Kyungsoo says, putting both his hands in front of him while showing his front teeth. "Hamster!"

"Oh my god, he's so fucking cute," Jongin coos, shaking Sehun beside him while he guffaws. "Sehun, you should try it. Come on."

"He's gonna kill us tomorrow if he finds out," Sehun mutters, yet he is still taking a video of Kyungsoo wiggling his butt, "Hey, Kyungsoo! Do a monkey dance with Luhan."

Giggling, Kyungsoo pulls a drunk Luhan with him and starts grinding against him until they are making out heatedly. Sehun breaks out cold sweat, deciding to just hide his phone like nothing happened.

"Holy shit," Jongin quickly stands up to separate his two boyfriends still reaching out their arms to kiss each other. Trying to stop them, he meddles in between, yet he just ends up being shoved on the floor. "Sehun, will you care to help me!?"

People in the pub turn their attention towards the two males sucking faces, before Sehun is coming into the scene to drag a whining Luhan away. Jongin laughs and apologizes awkwardly as he takes a slurring Kyungsoo with him.

"How do you manage when your two boyfriends get drunk like this?" Sehun asks Jongin while they walk heading home, carrying a knocked out Luhan and Kyungsoo on their backs.

"I just make sure they're both passed out before we go home." Laughing, Jongin fixes Kyungsoo's arm falling off his shoulder. "So that I can carry them both on my back."

Sehun just stares in disbelief. "Seriously?"

"Yeah," Jongin says, smiling at him, "So I'm quite thankful that you're now here. My job has lessened a bit."

Sehun just clears his throat. "Do I look like a nanny to you?"

"No," Jongin says, "You look like a third boyfriend to me."

Sehun chokes, or blushes, or cringes, or maybe does something in between those actions, hearing that, "Yuck."

Jongin laughs. "I yuck you, too."

"Hey. I'm not gonna do this ever again," Sehun says, and a feeling of de javu just came into him. He told himself that he's not gonna carry any drunk individual on his back anymore but here he is again, eating his own words. What the actual fuck.

"Just take him to his room and I'll take care of Kyungsoo," Jongin says the moment they arrive at the mansion before they separate at the hallway. Luhan's room is on the left while Kyungsoo's on the right. "Thanks, Sehun."

"You gotta pay me for this!" Sehun screams, rolling his eyes. Jongin only flashes him a middle finger. "That motherfucker."

Turning the lights on after he opens the door of Luhan's room, Sehun walks towards the bed and carefully drops Luhan on it. The male plops like a doll, muttering incoherent phrases under his breath. Sehun sighs and stares at Luhan's drunk state, before deciding to help him take off his shoes.

"You're lucky I don't hate you that much now," Sehun says while grabbing Luhan's feet and removing his shoes. Luhan almost kicks him on the face, good thing he dodges fast, "What the hell. Hyung. Are you a horse in your past life?"

Luhan just answers with a moan as he struggles on the bed, fumbling with his clothes uncomfortably.

"What is it now?"

"H-hot..." Luhan mutters as he rolls his body on the bed. He blindly reaches for the buttons of his top, attempting to open them but to no avail. "Take... Off...."

Sehun looks at the opened door.

"Why won't it... Go away, goddamnit," Luhan says as he manages to sit up slowly on the bed, staring down at his own clothes and attempting to flick the buttons out, "Shiiit..."

Sehun quickly heads to the door and closes it, before he comes back to Luhan, swatting the older's messy fingers away off his chest.

"Just give me that." Sehun sighs in frustration and does the job to take off the shirt himself anyway. "There."

"Thaaankssss," Luhan giggles as he lolls his head against Sehun's shoulder, clutching Sehun's collar with his fists. "Hey, Sehuuunn... Why are you so gooddamned handsomee...."

"W-what," Sehun mumbles as he moves away from the drunk male, yet Luhan is just so persistent that he's now crawling on top of his lap. "Oh, shit. No, don't do this---"

Luhan only laughs when he's now settled on top of Sehun's crotch, caging the younger male down in between his thighs. Hooking his hands on the hem of his shirt, he takes the article off so that he is half-naked sitting on top of Sehun's body.

"Ahhh... Seriously.... This shirt is bothering meeee..."

Sehun's eyes widen at the beauty that is on top of him, and he can't help but just gripping the sheets underneath him. He's defenseless and weak.

"L-luhan," Sehun stutters, feeling something growing down there, "G-get off me..."

"Woowww, Seehunnieee is so biiiig," Luhan teases while wearing a wide luscious smile on his lips. Sehun is trying to get up from lying position, pushing the other male away but he just can't. He feels stiff at the very moment. "I feel it!"

"NO---ahhhh!!!"

Sehun squeezes his eyes shut and screams, feeling the older suddenly leaning his face down as if he is about to kiss him on the lips.

"STOP!"

But he feels nothing.

Sehun opens his eyes slowly, seeing Luhan just staring down intently at him, their faces only a hairsbreadth away.

"Sehun," Luhan whispers, "I'm really sorry..."

Sehun blinks in confusion, feeling Luhan's mood suddenly shifting. "For what?"

"If... if it weren't for me," Luhan says, and now he's starting to cry, little tears escaping his eyes that Sehun can sense them dropping to his cheeks, "you wouldn't have to be sick... I-I'm sorry... It's my fault..."

Sehun's gaze softens as he watches the older male crying on top of him. He brings up a hand to touch his cheeks glistening with tears.

"It's not your fault. It's fine."

"Noooo! I feel guilty, okay? Jongin! That bastard... He shouldn't have been thereee!" Luhan screams wildly as he flails his arms aimlessly, "I should've been there for you, you hear that, huh!....Why is he even there anyway... Such... A nosy boyfriend..."

"Luhan, stop."

"No..." Luhan shakes his head, then he's back to giggling again, "Sehun, I know I'm drunk as fuck right now...! But you know what, huh....? Hahaha.... I just want you to know that I...."

"What is it?"

"I---" Luhan opens his mouth and leans closer. "I think I've fa--"

Then he vomits right at Sehun's face.

Sehun's eyes widen in utter horror, feeling gross warm liquid pouring down on his face coming from Luhan's throat.

"WHAT THE FUCK!!!!" He hastily stands up and pushes Luhan away off the bed, dashing straight to the bathroom to wash his face. Luhan is left on the bed still muttering and giggling incomprehensible sounds he only can understand.

"Oh god! I almost tasted it, fuck fuck fuck fuck," Sehun cries while rubbing his cheeks with soap to get the stench of alcohol and digested food away off his skin. Still burning at the back of his eyelids, the horrific image won't get out of his mind--- Luhan throwing up like a fountain at his face. "Shit! It won't go away! Ahhhh!"

Sehun sleeps on the bathroom floor that night, wishing everything was just an ugly nightmare.

*

"I'm sorry, okay! I said I didn't mean it!"

"He was extremely traumatized, Luhan," Kyungsoo says, glaring at Luhan from the other side of the table. He soothes Sehun's back comfortingly as the younger rests his head on top his shoulder. "There, there. I'm here for you now. Everything's gonna be alright..."

"I wanna go home, Kyungsoo," Sehun cries, shaking a little, "I'm scared of him..."

"Sehun, I swear to god, I didn't even remember I threw up on your face, I'm so sorry I was just---"

Kyungsoo blocks Luhan's hand trying to touch Sehun, "Hep! Don't touch him! He's having an emotional breakdown because of you."

Luhan sighs down at his morning coffee, frowning at it. To ease his hangover, he takes a sip of the liquid and bears the bitterness it lingers on his tongue. Sehun's eyes dart to look at him, but he avoids them, feeling guilty about what happened last night.

"Fine. I think you two need to talk," Sighing, Kyungsoo stands up and heads back to the kitchen leaving the two of them alone.

Sehun crosses his arms over his chest, "Now apologize."

"I'm sorry for what I did. It was really embarrassing of me," Luhan says in a quiet voice, "I know you were just trying to help but I ended up doing really weird things to you, which me ended up throwing up to your face..." He sighs and massages his forehead, "And I'm sorry if I... might've said some weird things to you... which, of course, probably meant nothing anyway..."

Sehun studies under his gaze how Luhan anxiously fumbles with his cup as he refuses eye contact.

"Don't worry, you didn't say anything weird," Sehun says, now chuckling at Luhan's embarrassed state, "What you said last night was all true."

Luhan lifts an eyebrow, "What did I even tell you anyway?"

"You told me I was handsome and I was," big--- "Cool." Sehun clears his throat, "Yeah. That was just it."

"Really?"

"Of course," Sehun replies, "What would you still tell me anyway?"

"Sure," Luhan forces a chuckle. "You're right."

Silence follows after that.

With his head ducked low, Luhan drinks on his coffee quietly while Sehun drums his fingers on top of the table.

"Was it good? The coffee, I mean."

"Yeah. I guess," Luhan answers.

"I, you know, kind of made it. Kyungsoo taught me how to do it."

"Oh, I see."

Sehun feels a little bit awkward ending the conversation with just that, so he thinks of anything to say for the sake of having something to talk about.

"Hyung. You should treat me to dinner, you know," Sehun gestures at his clothes, "You also soiled my clothes when you throw up."

"But I don't have any money right now."

Sehun shrugs his shoulders, "Then just take me to somewhere nice."

"Somewhere nice?" Luhan thinks for a while, then he grins when something suddenly pops up in his mind, "Sure! I know a place."

Sehun smiles back. "Okay."

*

"Hey, are you sure this is the place you were talking about?" Sehun asks skeptically while he follows Luhan trudging up the stairs of the third floor. "Hey!"

"Shh, just follow me, okay?" Luhan says, and then he grabs Sehun's wrist and tugs him while running faster to the stairs until they reach the door to the rooftop. "Come on, Sehun."

"I didn't know a place like this existed in Chanyeol's house," Sehun says, admiring the view of the vast night sky above them. Holding on to the railing, he can see from his spot the pool down below as well as the garden. He turns to Luhan beside him. "How did you know about this?"

"Well, I just figured out when I remembered Baekhyun telling me about Chanyeol fucking him at the rooftop before," Luhan laughs at Sehun's horrified face. It's indeed amusing when Sehun still gives that kind of reaction whenever he talks about things related to sex, "So one night when I was bored, I wandered around the mansion to look for it and then I found this place." He walks towards a big observatory telescope. "It's nice here, right?"

"Aside from the fact that Chanyeol and Baekhyun did it here, yes," Sehun answers. He checks out the telescope and sees a line of sparkling stars when he aims it at the sky. "Wow, this shit's actually working, huh?"

"Oh! Let me see it," Luhan excitedly says, waiting for Sehun to finish. "Are you done yet?"

"Come here," Sehun says, pulling the older behind the scope so that he is standing right in front of him. "Hold it with your hands like this." Then he guides Luhan's hands to the handle while staying behind his neck. "Can you see something?"

"Yeah! I'm seeing the moon!" Luhan exclaims, turning to Sehun behind him after peeking at it. Realizing that they're standing too close, Sehun steps back and just smiles.

Luhan feels cold all of a sudden.

"I'm not trying to be a gentleman here but I can't just stand you looking cold like that," Sehun mutters as he takes off his jacket, handing it to Luhan who has been hugging himself through the chilly wind blowing to the rooftop. "Here. Wear this."

"Aren't you supposed to be wearing it on me, though?" Luhan says teasingly, "Jongin doesn't treat me like this, you know."

"Jongin's your boyfriend while I am not," Sehun says, yet he is now behind Luhan draping the jacket on his shoulders. "Don't compare me to him. It hurts my pride."

Luhan responds with a laugh. "Fine. I'm sorry." He then moves behind Sehun and curiously observes the broad plane of his back. "Hm. I've been curious for a while now."

"About what?"

"About how would it feel like hugging you from behind," Luhan says, grazing his fingertips along Sehun's shoulder blades then slowly down to his arm, "I bet it'd feel warm, don't you think?"

Sehun is still about to say not to touch him, but Luhan is already there doing what he pleases. Looking down on his torso, he sees a pair of hands wrapped around his abdomen to enclose him for a backhug. He feels the older male's body flushed against his back.

Sehun just breathes, unmoving on his spot.

"I knew it," Luhan whispers against his shirt, "It'd really feel warm like this." He smiles, looking up to Sehun's tall frame in front of him. "Can I just sleep here forever?"

They stay on that position for less than a minute until Sehun decides to release himself. He moves Luhan in front of him so that they are standing face-to-face, so that he can see him better under his gaze.

"You," is the first word that comes out of Sehun's mouth as he brings his hand up to touch Luhan's face, "remind me of Baekhyun a lot."

Luhan's eyes sparkle with interest as he listens, "Yeah?

"Though you're a little taller than him, you both have a pretty face like this," Sehun says, letting his thumb touch Luhan's delicate cheek, "Your eyes shine bright, almost the same way as his, and your lips," he stares down at it and watches how Luhan's mouth forms into a cute smile, "It looks similar to him when you smile, same goes with your hair." He touches it gently, allowing it to fall to his palm softly, "It's as fluffy as this when I touch it with my hand..."

"Is this why you've got a crush on me back in high school?" Luhan asks, grinning at him, "Because my features resemble him a lot?"

"I guess you could say that," Sehun answers, feeling a bit shy, "Don't tell him my secret."

"Okay."

"Good."

"Hey, Sehun."

"Hm?"

"Do you still love Baekhyun?"

Sehun opens his mouth to answer, but his voice catches inside his throat, unabling him to say a word.

The question is very simple, it is answerable by a Yes or a No. If Luhan had asked him that question before, no doubt, he might've said Yes without a single hint of hesitation. But right now, what makes it hard for him to just say what's on his heart?

"Of course, I love him," Sehun answers finally after twenty seconds, not that he was counting nor thinking what to properly respond, "I've been loving Baekhyun all my life."

Luhan just hums, and Sehun doesn't know if Luhan sounds convinced or not. It doesn't matter anyway.

"What are you gonna to do when Baekhyun comes back?"

Why is Luhan so cruel? Sehun just smiles. Why does he have to ask the same questions with Jongin?

"Do you have plans living by your own?"

"What do you think should I do then?" Sehun asks him, and Luhan can notice he is doubting by the look on his face, "Should I just move out with him?"

"This is Chanyeol's house. If there is someone who needs to move out," Luhan mutters, smiling wistfully, "That would be us."

Sehun laughs although there is nothing funny about what he said.

"Should I just move out by my own, then? I'm sure you guys could take care of Baekhyun even if I'm not here, right?"

"And why would you want that?" Luhan asks, sounding slightly pained. "Don't you like living with us anymore?"

"What do you think?" Sehun says. "Am I happy with you around?" He sighs. "I guess I'm not."

"You have a habit of saying things opposite to what you feel, don't you?" Luhan says, shaking his head. "Which makes me want to know your true feelings behind those words."

"And you have a habit of saying things when you are drunk," Sehun retorts, making Luhan suddenly taken a back. "Ooops. I'm sorry. I'm not supposed to say that."

Luhan glares at him, his whole face reddening, "You, bitch!" He hits him on the arm hard repeatedly. "Ahhhh! Fuck you!"

"I'm telling Kyungsoo you're bullying me again!" Sehun screams dramatically, "Kyungsoo! Help me!"

As if Kyungsoo has heard Sehun's cry, Sehun's phone immediately rings the moment Luhan is about to kick his balls.

"Hello?"

[Where the hell are you two? We've been waiting here for god-knows-how long. Goddamnit.]

Confused, Sehun furrows his eyebrows and checks the phone screen, seeing Kyungsoo's name on it. "Jongin?"

[Come down here. Dinner's ready.]

Then he just hangs up.

"What did he say?" Luhan asks curiously.

"He said dinner's ready and they're waiting for us," Sehun says, "Come on, let's go back. I'm sure Kyungsoo's gonna be mad if we keep the food waiting."

"Okay," Luhan answers, giving him a small smile, "But can I ask one favor before this ends?"

"What is it?"

Sehun said he's not gonna do it anymore. He said the first time is gonna be the last time. He also said that the second time is gonna be the last time. But he again swallowed back his own words having Luhan being carried on his back as they go down the stairs from the rooftop.

"Oh my god, I really love free rides," Luhan says as he hugs Sehun's neck while rocking behind him like he's some sort of a horse, "Faster, Sehun!"

"Do I look like I'm a horse to you!?" Sehun complains, yet he is still piggybacking Luhan anyway, carefully even.

"No, you look like a third boyfriend to me," Luhan giggles into his ear, before blowing into his lobe to tickle him more.

"Stop doing that, you bitch!" Sehun yells, dodging his head from Luhan's finger as they arrive at the garden heading inside. "I'm gonna drop you into the pool, I'm telling you!"

"Go ahead! I'll love that!"

"Oho, I can smell something that starts with a 'j' from here," Kyungsoo clicks his tongue as he sips his evening tea, side-eyeing his boyfriend who looks like he had a stiff neck for years, "Jongin, stop staring at them."

"Who says I'm staring? I'm not staring!" Jongin blurts out, standing up from the dining table. "And I'm not fucking jealous, okay!? What the hell?!" Then he walks out of the room, in time when Sehun and Luhan are about to enter inside.

"Kyungsoo! We're here! Sorry we're late!"

Jongin stares.

Luhan, his own boyfriend, just ignores him as he excitedly pulls Sehun with him to the dining table. Kyungsoo didn't even tell him to come back so they can eat now together.

The fucking disrespect.

"What's for dinner?"

"Chicken."

"Oh god, I love chicken!"

"Me, too."

"Sehun, come sit beside me and I'll give you chicken thighs."

"B-but how about me?"

"Just eat whatever, Luhan."

Jongin sighs, turning his back away. Maybe it's better if he'd just leave the house and let them have dinner by themselves. Yes. That's gonna be the best for them.

"Fine. Go ahead and eat without me," Jongin mutters. "I'm not that hungry anyway."

"Jongin," Sehun calls.

Jongin stops and his ears perk, turning to look at Sehun with expectation in his eyes.

"Will you close the door before you leave? It's kind of cold." Sehun says as he chews the chicken deliciously, pointing at the door. "Thank you."

Jongin glares at all of them, feeling betrayed.

"Fuck all of you."
