sybcritics:
the invitation to the charity event was SLIGHTLY surprising when it turned up in the mail – but one look at the guest list was all it took for jungwoo to understand why he’d been sent one as well. arden and her parents were attending, as well as baekhyun, all three happened to be the factors in which jun decided to show up as well. not only that, he then decides that he’s going to turn heads, brand new & heavily tailored suit adorning his body as he makes his rounds around the room, never once stopping at the table that arden happens to be sitting at – giving that group space though his eyes do happen to wander towards her figure here & there, making sure that she saw it every time he did, the smirk on his lips never leaving his features in the process. god, the game they played was so beyond dangerous but that’s EXACTLY why jungwoo was addicted to it, addicted to her.. & the jealousy that grows in the pit of his stomach whenever he sees her and baekhyun sitting together is fueling the flame even more.
all it takes is an hour for arden to cave, his eyes following her frame as she excuses herself from the table & pushes through the crowd. he waits for a few minutes afterwards, pulling himself off the bar stool he’d been sitting on this whole time, body traveling in the same direction she’d gone in. two minutes & he’s locked in the coat closet with her, lips crashing against hers the SECOND the door closes behind them. he isn’t sure how long it takes after that for her legs to be wrapped around his waist, arden’s back pressed against the door, his lips finding her neck in order to leave a mark that he knows the other male would see. he’s about to take things further when there’s a pounding from the other side of the door. "well, well, well…“ jungwoo starts with a slight smirk on his lips, pulling his head back in order to give arden a mischievous look. "is that your little boy-toy i hear on the other side of the door?” he asks, brow raising as his arms wrap around her waist in order to pull them both away from the door. "why would i ignore him, hm?“ the male asks, setting arden down & back onto her feet with an almost evil chuckle. "he apparently wants a show – so why not give it to him?” the janitor continues to ask, walking over to the door to pull it open with a grin, leaning against the frame. "well hello, baek. surprised to see you here. what brings you here? come to watch?“
BAEKHYUN FUCKING HATED THIS, this was not what he wanted nor what he thought he would be getting into. because, baekhyun didn’t sign up for feelings or for falling for someone and then a few months later have to put on a show when it all came cashing down behind the scenes. he couldn’t believe what he was hearing behind the door, rolling his eyes as arden’s voice speaks, only to hear jun’s deep one following hers. if they didn’t open again in another moment or so he was going to bang on it again, and again. he would continue knocking on it all night if he had to, just to piss them both off. although he’s pretty confident that jungwoo could kill him in a moment, he’s not really worried about it.
he’s surprised when the door swings open, the man he was just thinking about opening up. you know what sucked ?? finding the guy who your ex girlfriend cheated on you with attractive. and guess what — baek was in that boat, and it didn’t help that arden was extremely hot, and that he still wanted to be with her. it didn’t help the mornings that they woke up next to each other only to turn into morning sex that he could never get enough of. but, it was jun she was always going back to at night, never baekhyun. he wanted to spit some sort of ‘fuck off’ at him, but he doesn’t want a black eye and also — his offer is a little enticing. “ let me in. ” he says take a step forward, although he’s not trying to be intimidating, just trying to make his way in. his eyes move pass jun to see arden, and suddenly he’s struck with a faint heart again — she was just so beautiful. his eyes move back to the other and he frowns. “ i’m not being subjected to this boring event alone, so let me in. i’ll close my eyes i don’t care, i just can’t sit out there. ”

akira noticed the blush that flushed over baekhyun’s cheeks. it did boost his pride enough for him to SMIRK at the younger male. soon after a chuckle left his lips. the older gentleman reached for his own CERAMIC cup and lifted the rim of it to his lower lip. blowing over the steam he took a small but GENEROUS sip of the smooth coffee. ❝ you’re not. don’t worry about it. ❞ akira assured him with a FURROW of his brow. he leaned into his seat comfortably and his legs underneath the table slightly stretched. ❝ frankly, i needed an EXCUSE to procrastinate so i thank you for that. but i don’t think the art museum would be too pleased. ❞ he admitted scrunching his nose a bit.
THE OTHER WAS DEFINITELY charismatic, it didn’t take a rocket scientist to figure that out, spending even a few minutes with him made him all flustered and nervous. he took another sip of the coffee the same time that akira did, giving him a soft, shy smile afterwards. “ if you’re interested into listening to me ramble on as procrastination i’d be more than happy to offer that. ” he shrugs a bit. “ what do you do at the museum ?? ” baek was truly curious, and also maybe because listening to the other speak calmed him down, made him not think too much into his own shitty mindset.

“Nah, you’re good, just a little shy that’s all.” She replied, dismissing his apology before taking another sip of her alcoholic beverage. “Plus you’re the perfect eye candy to have! Though, I feel sorry since that girl has been checking you out for the last ten minutes.” The blonde laughed.
BAEKHYUN APPRECIATES THE other and how care free she was, never batting an eye at how shy he was or what he was coping with. it made him sigh a deep breath. “ don’t boost my ego, i’ll have a huge head you won’t be able to get me out of here. ” he teases as he moves to stand next to her, looking around at who she could have been talking about before finally realizing. “ her ?? you think so ?? she’s way out of my league. ”

when nixon participated in conversation it was either tension or nerves he earned from his companion. he sniffed out the younger gentleman’s nervousness the minute nixon met his eyes with baekhyun’s. at attempt to bring some comfort into the situation nixon eased into his seat. his casual demeanor suggested that there was no need for honorifics nor over the top table manners. his finger traced the rim of his wine glass but he was hesitant to drink it. ❝ – you’re trying to stay sober , aren’t you ? ❞ nixon offered him a weak smile. his eyes genuine just as his question. he took a sip of water instead and informed the waiters to rid the table of the alcohol. ❝ how about some dessert instead ? it’s on the house. we can celebrate how you’re following your therapists orders. or we can pretend it’s your birthday. i’ll have the waiters sing to you. ❞ nixon teased with a smirk lingering on his features.
HE COULDN’T HELP but tense up slightly from the other bringing up being sober, there would come a point where it wouldn’t bother him as much, make him twitch — today was not that day. “ i am, but alcohol wasn’t my main vice. ” although he appreciates the others sentiment of discarding the table of any and all alcohol and tosses the other a thankful smile. “ if it’s on the house then i’ll take it, surprise me. ” although at the mention of singing or really any kind of attention on him he shakes his head. “ not necessary, but i hope you’ll have some with me ?? ” he asks, hoping the other would say yes mostly because he enjoyed the company and he didn’t want the other to just leave yet.

*: ・゚∙ * ⁕ haeil has been in baekhyun’s shoes FAR too many times before — in fact he hasn’t fully escaped the addiction that still lingers behind him like a never-ending nightmare. though he doesn’t DARE to talk about that with baek, doesn’t let the other see him in a high state because he doesn’t want to & he’s a little scared that the other would run in the other direction if he found out. "that’s all you need?“ haeil asks, brows knitting together though he’s instantly nodding his head at the request. he didn’t know what baek was going to ask, but that was easy enough. "of course i can, love. it’s not stupid, not at all.” he breathes out gently with a tiny giggle, pressing a small and fleeting kiss to baek’s lips. he knows WHY the other asked — knows that even such a small request has a huge meaning behind it, though he doesn’t press baek to talk about it in the slightest. the second baek reaches out haeil’s hands grab his & squeeze lightly. "babe… please.“ the silver-haired male starts, bringing baek’s hand to his lips to press a kiss to the top of it. "it’s okay, i’m here — you’re here, you’re safe.” the dancer tells the other with a slight sigh, a sympathetic smile starting to pull on his lips. "you better not take my favorite spot.“ he teases before taking the other’s phone, waiting for him to walk out of the room before hiding it & making his way towards the living room. "are you hungry? i can make something before we watch a movie?”
HE’S GRATEFUL FOR haeil, someone who cares so much about him — it makes him want to block out the other two in his life, the idea of how he was falling so hard for them and he understood the impending doom behind it. but, instead he focuses on the sound of the smaller boys giggle, or the quick kiss he presses to his lips. god, those lips he could kiss them for hours. maybe he’d do that instead, take his mind off of it. “ thank you. ” it’s soft when he says it, be he knows the other would realize the weight of its meaning. “ i can’t promise anything. ” he teases with a small wink as he makes his way into the living room, sitting down and getting himself comfortable as he waits for the other, looking at the spot right next to him where he knows the other is going to curl up. and he thinks about it, thinks about how even now, baekhyun is just sinking in the middle of people he cares about, no one seemingly able to give him all of what he needs, and he can’t seem to get out. the sound of haeil’s voice snaps him back for what seems like the hundredth time that day and he gives the other a warm smile. “ no, not yet, thank you. ” his voice is soft as he’s staring at the other. “ i kind of just want to hold you right now. ”

*: ・゚∙ * ⁕ there’s NO part of haeil that didn’t wish he couldn’t take the stress & worry away from baekhyun in anyway he could. he hates seeing the other like this, his heart breaking every time the other comes to haeil in this state. "love, breathe.“ the dancer tells baek, nails gently scraping at the others scalp in hopes to calm him. he doesn’t know if it’ll help or not but he HOPES like hell it does. all haeil wants is for the other to be okay, to feel better. "just you and me, the couch, a blanket and some snacks.. for the rest of the night.” haeil continues, placing a line of kisses across the other’s forehead & cheek, pulling the other even closer. "of course babe.“ the sliver-haired male breathes out, pulling away in order to pull them both in the direction of the couch. "what do you need, love. anything at all, you know i’ll do my best.” he tells the other, getting on his tip-toes to press a kiss to the tip of baek’s nose.
BAEK WASN’T SURE what haeil was saying, most of it sounded like ringing in his ears because he was just so out of focus, like the world was spinning too fast and he couldn’t stop it. everything comes back to him when he feels the other kiss his forehead and cheek, like all of a sudden he had found his weight to reality. “ can you just hide my phone ?? ” it’s a simple request — stupid at that, but he knows he has too much power at the tip of his fingers. dealers he can call in a second, mistakes that could be made in a moment — it was easier just to hide it until the feelings passed. he pulls away from the embrace, eyes red as an indicator of the tears that were starting to form but he wouldn’t let break. his hands shake as they pull out his phone from his pocket, handing it to haeil as he uses the back of his sleeve to wipe his eyes. “ sorry, it’s stupid, it’s just easier for me. i’ll meet you on the couch, okay ?? ”

*: ・゚∙ * ⁕ the dancer’s heart begins to break just watching the other have a hard time, haeil’s eyes catching the fact that baekhyun was SHAKING — a soft frown forming on his lips as he tries to assess the situation, thinking of ways he could make it better for the other before baek even begins to speak. "i’m here.“ it’s all haeil starts with, gently carding his hands through the other’s hair with a soothing hum, making sure to be as close to baek as possible so that he hopefully felt SAFE. "stop.” haeil starts with a small giggle, placing a few kisses to baek’s forehead. "you don’t need to apologize to me… for anything.“ he continues, pulling the other even closer with a small nod of his head. "we all have those, love. it’s alright.. i’m here. we’ll get through it together, okay?” the dancer continues, a small smile starting to pull on his lips as his hands cup the other’s cheeks. "how about this — a movie and popcorn.. maybe some ice cream. a relaxing night. how does that sound ?“
HOW PATHETIC COULD he be ?? truly, he was standing in haeil’s apartment freaking out about things he couldn’t control, with someone who probably didn’t want that burden on his shoulder. someone who was kissing his forehead and baek was sure his heart was going to beat out of his chest. when he pulls him closer, baek takes a moment to breathe in his scent, to remember to calm himself down because he was in the moment and nothing bad was happening. “ y-yeah, that sounds nice. ” truthfully though, he wasn’t sure if he was ever going to get these thoughts out of his head. they were screaming at him, telling him that he was a fuck up and didn’t deserve any of this. he leans into the others touch and shuts his eyes for a moment. “ c-can you just do me a favor first? ”

*: ・゚∙ * ⁕ there’s an instant feeling of WORRY that settles in the pit of haeil’s chest, said worry adorning his features as he slides closer to baekhyun. the dancer doesn’t speak at first, though — he lets the silence wash over the two of them, fingers gently brushing over the skin of baek’s arm. "sh, hey.. nothing to apologize for, love.“ the silver-haired male breathes out, a small smile pulling on his lips in an attempt to calm the other down even if it was just the tiniest bit. "you don’t have to explain anything to me, baek.. it’s fine, i promise.” haeil tells him — wrapping his arms around the other’s frame in a hug. "you don’t have to talk about it if you don’t want, but i’m always here if you need to get stuff off your chest, you know that… right?“
IT WAS MOMENTS LIKE these that makes baek wish that he smoked, but needing his lungs for more important things ( those olympic sized swimming pools ) kind of put a damper on that dream. he could use a cigarette, especially with how badly he’s shaking. but when haeil puts his hand on his arm, it’s like the rush that he needs to help him even out his breathing. it’s the moment that haeil wraps his arms around him that he feels small like he could just crawl into a ball and lay his head in haeil’s lap for hours. his arms wrap around him and he nuzzles his face into his neck, not sure how he got so lucky to have someone who cared about him. “ r-right. ” he whimpers, nodding his head a bit. “ sorry, i didn’t ... mean to be so weird, it’s just been a shit day. ”

━━━ the first thing mal notices is his somewhat d a z e d appearance, and she’s a little taken aback, given the normally light, humorous demeanor she’s been so accustomed to around the base. while she doesn’t point this out, for fear of drawing attention to it, her first emotional response after that is a c o n c e r n. is he okay? more importantly, will she be good for him in this particular instance? she can’t bring herself to ask, a f r a i d of the possible answers. she notes his words and feels a pang in her stomach, almost certain she had experienced similar rough mornings. if she has to f a k e a smile just so as to not worsen his state, whatever it even is at the moment, then try she will. 〝it’s alright. i’ve had my fair share. coffee usually helps ease me through them.〞 she says, mustering a smile as she hands him a fresh brew.
BAEK WASN’T SO USED to people being so genuinely nice to him, he had been so accustomed to people either wanting something from him or absolutely hating him. it was getting a little bit harder to wake up in the mornings though, to know that your life was pretty much meaningless, to wake up to some girl who didn’t care about you anymore. but, he did it and it was painful every single day. her kindness was shocking and he found himself giving her a little bit of a nod, watching as she slides over a cup of coffee, his hands shaking as he picks it up. “ thank you. ” he gives her a small smile before he takes a sip, letting the warmth take over him. “ sorry, again. how are you doing this morning ?? ” he asks, wanting to change the subject.

preoccupied by his work akira paid little attention to his surroundings. he submerged himself entirely into one half of his DUAL life. as time past he felt a bit DISCOMFORT with a pair of eyes burning into him. ignoring the pestering feeling he eventually gave in and stared back at the face who was so KEEN on him. akira cleared his throat, brows furrowing a bit. ❝ i was beginning to think you were SECRETLY falling in love with me. ❞ he teased while clicking his pen. akira lifted an untouched cup of coffee from his end of the table. he offered it to the younger male, ❝ sounds like you need this more than i do. ❞
A SOFT BLUSH scatters on his features as the other speaks, he didn’t mean to stare. he was mostly zoning out, thinking about the millions of things that were going on inside his brain. he’s pretty sure he would have sat like that for hours had the other not said anything. if baekhyun wasn’t in a weird head space he would have teased back, something along the lines if maybe if you’re lucky enough i will. he didn’t have the mind for it, and all he wanted to do was be alone. but when the other offers him his coffee he smiles softly. “ thanks, it’s just been a long morning. ” his hands shake as they move to pick up the ceramic cup, letting his body warm up from the hot contents as he sips it, a soft moan escaping his lips. “ sorry if i disturbed you or anything. ” he’s not sure how else to carry on the conversation, finger tips tapping the wood table.

He’s such a wall flower, one that Sasha wants to pull off and toss into the crowd, allow him to live a little. “Ok, babe, you stay right next to me and we’ll have a good time.” The dj compromised, hoping to liven things up.
BAEK NODS HIS head, not really saying much else as the other continues to work, making him look out at the crowd in front of them. he used to be them, drunk and high out of his mind, now he just had to watch — to stop the cravings. “ thanks, sorry. you probably should have brought someone a little bit more fun to these things. ”

BAEK WASN’T SURE WHAT he was doing, the other was looking at him like he had three heads, while his actual head just wasn’t working straight. since the accident, since he got sober, everything has been kind of messed up — fucked up, actually. “ s-sorry. ” he says as he tries to snap out of it, feeling his hands shake and his breathing become uneven. “ i just, i’m fine. just a rough morning that’s all. ” yeah a rough morning, where he’s reminded that he’s lucky to be alive, where all he wants to do is to get so high he can’t even remember his name. he’s itching for it now.

eyes widen at the accusation —– though the other isn’t too far off track , the medic does tend to prefer to be in a state of influence rather than not . but he tries his best to maintain sobriety when he’s on duty —- though sometimes , during an emergency , it’s impossible to shake off the high fast enough . he knows that might not bode well for him if the higher - ups were to ever find out , but his secret has been safely kept thus far . jaehwan clears his throat , gaze momentarily shifting in the other’s direction before he’s shaking his head : deny , deny , deny . ‘ no , i’m not high —- ’ not right now at least . he does plan on lighting up as soon as gets home , though , assuming no other calls come his way . ‘ i just … you know , my job’s done . i didn’t think we had anything to really … talk about . ’ back to staring at the ground again , creature of bad habit .
“ OH. ” the other finds himself mumbling, his legs kicking off the seat as he finds himself overcome with bouts of anxiety. god, he was craving something more, something to get his mind away from these terrible thoughts. ever since the accident he’s found it hard to let people walk out of his life, even in simple interactions such as this. “ sorry, i just ...” he shakes his head, taking a deep breath. “ thanks for coming by, sorry if i made you feel awkward or something. ” his voice softening as he stares down at the floor, not sure what else to say.
