goodnight | junhao au

33.

"Wonwoo?! What are you doing here?"

Junhui couldn't believe what he saw, or better said, who he saw. After they pushed themselves trough the crowd of dancing students they found Mingyu and Wonwoo sitting on a couch. Mingyu's arm lay relaxed over Wonwoo's shoulder. Junhui felt so happy they could be openly gay, and that they didn't care what everyone else thought about them.

Even though it had affected Mingyu's popularity in some way, but the puppy like guy couldn't care less. Since Wonwoo was the most important thing to him.

"Well, surprise!" Wonwoo said, chuckling.

"Like I said to him before, mission succeed!" Mingyu said laughing, before pecking Wonwoo on his forehead.

"Eeeww, let's leave the two lovebirds behind Jun, we're getting a drink." And even before Junhui or the two other guys could protest, Minghao pulled Junhui along. Which reminded Junhui their hands were still connected. A storm of butterflies roamed trough his tummy because of the sudden thought of how they still simply had their hands interlaced with each other.

But that feeling flew away as soon as it came the moment they started squirming themselves trough the dancing body mess. Junhui hated crowds like these. Even though he never went to parties before, he already knew he wasn't the biggest fan of them. The only thing everyone did was getting drunk and swaying their bodies around on the beat of the music.

Even though he had to admit, he was the biggest fan of music. But not in this situation..

The only thing that brought him here was Minghao's presence. And the fact that they were holding hands made his regret of coming here in the first place fade away.

Suddenly, they stepped out of the crowd, walking towards a table where a lot of drinks were placed. Minghao grabbed without second thoughts, a bottle of beer, opened it and took a huge sip. Something Junhui absoluty not expected to see.

Minghao must've seen the worried look on the elders face, so he leaned forward to his ear. "It's just this one, don't worry about it Hui."  And of course, Junhui trusted him with that. One beer couldn't harm him right? Of course not, it was just one. 

Jesus Junhui, man up.

Junhui himself grabbed a cup and poured some cola into it, not feeling like drinking alcohol anyways. Drinking alcohol was something he barely did. Of course he had tried it before. But he hated the influence it had on him, he couldn't control himself for the full 100% and that scared him.

Just when he wanted to turn to Minghao again, a girl swung herself around his neck, giving him a hug. "Minghao!!" She yelled out of happiness, while Minghao gave Junhui a confused look, rolling his eyes.

Junhui hadn't seen her before. A stinging feeling went trough his tummy as soon as Minghao pulled his hand back. No Junhui..you're not jealous.. she's just a girl.. he doesn't like girls.. But he felt as if Minghao could ditch him any moment.

The girl tippietoed and said something in Minghao's ear, something Junhui couldn't hear because they were out of his hearing distance and for some reason he figured, the girl might've planned to keep Junhui out of it.

"Jun!" Minghao walked up to him again and gave the elder a reassuring pat on his shoulder. "I'm going to walk along with her, she said she needed me to meet someone. Can you go to Mingyu and Wonwoo? I'll meet you there in 10 minutes, okay?" Yes.. he ditched him..

Of course he did. Minghao still had a reputation. Not only that, he was considered as one of the most popular guys of high school. And Junhui knew he couldn't stand against that.

He knew a lot of emotions must've flushed out of his face. That's why Minghao grabbed his shoulder again and leaned forward to his face, noses only inches away from each other. "I'll be right back, I promise."

Junhui just nodded and saw how Minghao got pulled away by the girl and they disappeared in the crowd.

As a lost puppy he trailed his way back trough the crowd, finding Mingyu and Wonwoo again, cuddling on the couch. He took place next to Wonwoo and sunk deeper in the pillows, hoping they could swallow him right there, so no one would see him.

He felt so out of place. Minghao was the one who took him there and he just ditched him, knowing how uncomfortable he was about parties. But at least, he still had Wonwoo and Mingyu. Although he felt like a third wheel, it was the best option left.

"Where's your boyfriend?" Wonwoo asked jokingly.

"I don't know, he ditched me for someone else." Junhui answered grumpy, not in the mood for jokes.

"He'll be right back Junhui, don't worry. A lot of people want to hang out with him on parties. The fact that he brought you here ment that he wants to spend time with you." Mingyu gave him a reassuring smile, what seemed to calm Junhui down again.

"Yeah..  you're probably right, I'm overreacting sorry."

"Don't be sorry! You should've seen Wonwoo before we got here." Mingyu started chuckling while Wonwoo slapped his shoulder. "Yah! Don't emberas me!"

"Relax baby, it's cute." Mingyu pecked Wonwoo's cheek while saying so.

Immediately Junhui wanted to leave again. But luck seemed to be on his side, because the two stopped acting all lovey dovey as soon as they noticed Junhui felt a bit uncomfortable with it.

So they started a conversation while waiting on Minghao.

The first 10 minutes were soon over and Junhui expected Minghao to walk out of the crowd any moment, so he could drop down on the couch next to Junhui.

But nothing happened.

Another 10 minutes passed, without any result. Junhui started to worry. Did something happen? No of course not, he was probably just having fun and forgot about the time. But why did he forget about him?

Finally after an hour of waiting, Mingyu spoke his worries. "Junhui, who did Minghao walk along with?"

"I don't know?" For some reason Junhui's heartbeat picked up speed. The tone in Mingyu's voice worried him. And he knew something was wrong..

"How does she look, describe her."

"Well," Junhui remembered exactly how she looked.. ",she's kind of tall, just a little smaller then Minghao. Her hair is half blue and-" "-shit." Mingyu suddenly cursed before Junhui could even finish his sentence.

"What..?" Junhui started to feel hopeless, there really was something going on.

"Mingyu what's going on?" Wonwoo asked his boyfriend in a serious tone. Even though he didn't understood a single thing of it, he saw his bestfriend almost breaking down and his boyfriend getting angry.

"I'm going to kill them, don't hold me back." Mingyu growled and he started waking into the crowd angrily. Junhui and Wonwoo gave each other another confused but mostly scared look and quickly ran after the tall male. Not knowing if that was the best idea.

They moved on a fast pace trough the crowd, not knowing what they would see as soon as Mingyu found his target. Not even knowing what was going on.

But Junhui knew there was something wrong. Else mingyu would've never reacted like that.

And suddenly he saw it. His heart seemed to drop in his stomach. Deeper than ever. Even though his legs were shaking and they felt like jelly, he started running back, looking for the front door, to leave the house.

Tears filled his eyes and before he could even try to stop them, they started leaving his eyes. The world around him seemed to disappear and the music around him faded away, just like all the people who gave him concerned stares. But he didn't care.

Because right in front of him, just a few seconds before he run off, he saw Minghao..  kissing the girl with the blue hair..
