My hands trembled as I tried to make my black hair not look like the mess it actually was. My flat was freezing cold just wearing a thin, dark green floral printed blouse and black jeans. I only took a quick look into the mirror — checking one last time if I looked somewhat presentable — and eventually left my bathroom. Me being satisfied with my appearance was rarely the case so I just did my best and tried not to think about it as much. After all, I didn't have much time for that either. I received Baekhyun's message saying they were waiting outside my flat more than five minutes ago.

So I grabbed a few won-bills out of my portemonnaie and stuck them lazily inside my back pocket, where I could feel my ID. I took it out and quickly recognised it as my fake ID — so exactly the one I would be needing later on. I put it back to the bills and strode to my sofa table where I fell on my knees real quick and fetched the thousand-won-bill laying there. My other hand was quickly occupied with an old credit card, scraping the remainders of white powder into a somewhat straight line. It surprisingly was more than I had in mind. I sniffed the cocaine and carelessly threw the bill back on the table before I got up, put on shoes, grabbed my phone and eventually exited my flat rather composedly.

»There you are, doll. Started thinking you wouldn't show up anymore.«, Sehun immedeatly welcomed me — with that unrewarding pet name he gave me all the time. »Hi, sorry, I wasn't quite finished getting ready.« I waved to everyone and stood in front of the four. »Come here, now, Tae.«, Baekhyun pulled me into a hug, which I complied to after a few moments. I closed my eyes almost automatically and enjoyed the warmth that radiated off of the older. »You're cold, Jagi.«, he said into my ear and pulled me in tighter. At least Baekhyun had a better nickname for me. He called me that since we knew each other. I found it cute — let me feel somewhat special. Loved, even.

And he was right — I was literally freezing. I didn't wear a jacket since I was too afraid of losing the only one I had. I couldn't afford that. »It's fine.«, I said as he released his hold and took my face into his palms. They were warm on my cheeks, so I leaned into the touch. Baekyhun grinned and an almost inaudible smirk escaped his lips. »You've still got something here.«, he laughed and wiped his thumb along my nose. I, too, smiled at him and averted my gaze down.

»You two done with that? We should start walking, don't you think?«, Sehun grumbled before dragging me away from Baekhyun by the shoulders and nudged me into the direction we had to take to reach the Sunrise — the nightclub we're attending tonight. The taller put his arm around my shoulders and placed a joint in front of my mouth. I immediately closed my lips around it, what made him let go of it so I had to hold it myself.

It took us round about quarter of an hour to get to the club, where there were a few people queueing at the entrance already. Kai was the first one to put himself on the end of the queue and dragged Sehun with him. »You guys try and get us dope anywhere, yeah? We only got like two blunts and a single joint.«, he instructed, not really directed to anyone in particular. Nonetheless, Chanyeol volunteered on the spot. »Chen and I will go. I'm not quite in the mood to go in right now, anyway.« After that, he grabbed a mildly protesting Chen and went along the queue until they turned into a side street.

The row of waiting people decreased from time to time, which of course was completely in my favour, since it was getting more and more cold out here. I hugged myself a little tighter — as far as that was even possible. »Your lips are an awful blue, Tae. Come here.« I turned to Baekhyun who got a little closer to me as well and eventually put his arms around me from behind, snuggling into me, which immediately heated me up immensely. »Thanks. We're inside soon anyway.«, I mumbled but still cuddled more into my best friend's arms.
