flopping on his bed, dal sighed deeply, thinking about the day he had ahead. he and wooseok had just made it to the hotel from oakland and he wanted nothing more than to avoid everyone for the next 10 hours but that wasn't an option.

"i'm going to eat lunch with my friends." dal smiled, getting up. "alright. don't do drugs and be careful." wooseok said, looking at his phone. "byebye." dal said, hugging his friend tightly before fixing his shirt in the mirror and walking out the door.

the elevator doors opened, dal pressing the button for the lobby. rocking back and forth on his feet, he entered the large lobby, waving at his friend waiting for him. "siwoo!" "dal!" he said, hugging him tightly. "it's been so long." dal smiled, walking out together. "it has. yunseo, hwayoung, and harin are waiting in the car." his mouth dropped open, happily jumping. "harin and yunseo are here?" siwoo nodded, dal exiting the hotel.

"dal!" harin smiled, jumping out of the car to hug her friend. "harin! it's been forever." the two happily chatted, dal hopping into the car. "dal nice to see you." yunseo said, giving dal a fist bump. "not nice to see you idiot." "wow."

"what about me?" laughing, dal hugged hwayoung, the car starting. "of course i'm happy to see you. how long has it been?" "4 years?" siwoo asked, drumming his hands on the wheel. "that seems right." hwayoung smiled, dal laying his head on her shoulder.

"ugh when are we going to be there?" yunseo asked, harin hitting his head. "soon." los angeles' koreatown quickly appeared around them, siwoo stopping the car. "let's go." yunseo smiled, jumping out, dal following him into the naengmyeon restaurant.

"this looks nice." dal said, gazing at the new restaurant. "it's me and harin's favorite place." siwoo said, dal nodding. calling the waiter over, yunseo ordered for the group, hwayoung and dal happily chatting.

he was so happy to be reunited with his childhood friend group, yunseo and harin's bickering a familiar noise. "so dal," harin said, hwayoung digging into her lunch. "what's it like being a stylist." laughing, dal took a sip from his water, setting it back down with a clank.

"it's what i've dreamed of. it's absolutely amazing." "i'm happy for you." siwoo said, harin hitting his head. "of course you are." happily smiling, dal listening to harin talking about her job.

getting the check, dal and hwayoung left the building to look for a store, the bell ringing as they entered. "what would you like?" "can we get one strawberry and one red bean?" hwayoung asked, the cashier nodding. sliding his card across, dal sighed off on the keypad, hwayoung grabbing the dessert.

"thank you!" they said, leaving quickly. passing the dessert to their friends, dal took a large bite, yunseo pouting. "hey!" "i paid for it!" laughing happily, dal pushed him gently, the group smiling happily.

it felt so good to be back.

waving to his friends, dal walked back inside the hotel, seeing mingyu's body hunched over his phone in a chair. "what are you doing down here?" dal asked, smiling happily. "i wanted to see you." he said, grabbing dal's hand. "follow me." "oh-"

mingyu quickly pulled dal along, finding a small, clean gender neutral bathroom to pull them into. "i missed you." he said, putting dal against the door, threading their hands. "i missed you too." dal smiled, wrapping his arms around mingyu's waist.

"you hung out with your friends?" "yep." "lucky." mingyu put his face on dal's shoulder, lightly pecking it. looking up, mingyu grabbed his jaw, hot air and tension in between their lips. "can i kiss you?" "you don't even have to ask." mingyu hungrily connected their lips, dal surprised at the sudden eagerness.
