Chapter 5:

Playboy.

When he spotted his figure, which is facing back, he almost called his name but halted when he saw another person. A girl to be exact.

The girl looked uneasy and a little uncomfortable. Hands fiddling, eyes shaky, feet tapping. Understanding the situation, he shouted Jaemin's name, gaining the older's attention.

He lied about Jeno urgently needing him — well not really. Donghyuck may be bruised by now considering the built of the other.

They walked away from Jaemin's newly made friend. "Yo, what was that for? She was really pretty, you know?" Jaemin nudged him, feeling bad that he haven't gotten her number at least.

"Stop playing with girls' hearts, Jaemin. I thought you learned your lesson back then," Jisung placed his arm around Jaemin's shoulder, smirking as he reminded him of the time where he was broken hearted.

"You're no fun at all!" Jaemin yanked his hands of his shoulders, frowning.

Jisung laughed, remembering the upset friend.

The friends gathered shortly, with their rich friend, Chenle paying for their snacks. The seven walked side by side,walked as Chenle's house was just nearby, while being the loud and chaotic group they are.

"What happened back there?" Renjun asked Jisung, noticing the boy's lightened mood. The latter just smiled slightly and pointed at the nagging man.

"-yeah! He didn't even let me get her number like!? What!? She was so pretty!?"

"Jaemin being Jaemin," he sighed.

Renjun laughed loudly, screeching slightly, head thrown back. Jisung looked at him, judging the boy. "And he said he'll change,"

"Never,"

"Yo, dude! I just got these new pair!" Mark whined as he noticed that Donghyuck was purposely stepping on them. The latter laughed evilly and ran inside to Chenle's grand home.

"Well, welcome to our first sleep over- I guess,"

⋆⋆⋆

"Hey, hey, hey! No! That's my character! We're on the same team, Chenle!" Jisung's loud whines filled the game room.

It's currently 1:27 am, as if they're vampires, they haven't gotten a single blink yet. Continuous screams of complains and aggression has been going for long — and they look like they won't go to sleep too.

"Fuck off Haechan Lee!"

"Watch your goddamn language, you fucking brat! Is that what I fucking taught you! Jeno Lee!?"

"You hypocrite!"

"No! Chenle! Remember I am your teammate!"

"Jisung Park, shut the hell up, I can't concentrate,"

"HAHAHAHAHAHA!"

"Mark, seriously dude, stop laughing. A fly is gonna enter your open mouth,"

"So what, Renjun?"

"Get your nonexistent ass out off my face!"

Game Over

All of them sighed, exhausted. Mark yawned and stretched his limbs. Observing the others, it seems like they're all sleepy now.

"We have guest rooms, you can choose who to sleep with, or you can sleep alone — we have enough," Chenle stood up, going to his room.

The boys looked at each other, as if reading each others minds. They suddenly ran to the rooms, choosing what they want.

Jaemin, though he's laying down on the bed in the dark room, with only the sheen of the full moon illuminating the space, his mind is occupied.

Astrid, Astrid, Astrid...

"I hope we can meet again," he genuinely felt like she was different, definitely not his type, but he wanted to be somehow close and befriend her.

His gut was telling him that they would definitely see each other again.

His sweet and fluffy thoughts faded once Jisung Park entered his mind. That brat. He ruffled his hair, wrapping the thick blanket around him, sighing in content. Jisung invaded his mind, almost completely. He wouldn't meddle with his business if it wasn't for hurting others.

He recalled a memory; when Jisung almost killed him when he discovered that he was breaking girls' hearts everyday. He remembered each strong punch that landed on his face, each hurtful words — which was nothing but the truth by the way — and the look of disappointment in his eyes.

Jisung was indeed cold, intimidating, scary, but he cared deeply for others. He wouldn't dare to touch a bug, well mostly because he's scared but you get the point, he wouldn't make anyone feel anything but positive emotions, which contrasted his physique.

He acted how he wanted his parents to act like. He made himself a promise, and he lived by that. Though he didn't live the best life, he made sure that the others at least lived a good one.

At this time, all the others were fast asleep, well except for one. He was wide awake, thinking about his concerns.

Chenle had his eyes open, mind filled with one person only, Jisung Park. He never knew how to make the boy smile despite being friends with him at an early age, specifically two. He always tried to cheer his friend up since he knew how much of a pressuring life he'd live.

Him knowing that Jisung doesn't like ooey gooey things, and him being a proclaimed tsundere, the only thing he did was annoy him. He almost gave up on this, but kept going only to see his friend's old gummy smile.

— which by the way, wasn't seen for years. He was for sure absolutely heart broken by how his best friend seemed to have lost himself in the process of caring for others. For the fact that he barely even cared about himself anymore, only caring about how others see him as.

"Park, one day, someone will smack you back to your senses. And you, you'll learn how to love yourself again."

With those last words, he closed his eyes and fell into a deep slumber, dreaming about him again.
