⠀➷ winter ball!

@✦ ┆ s. mingi. ʰᵘˢᵏʸ He decided he'd tell him at the ball, on their first date. Maybe it wasn't the smartest decision, but what was the point of hiding it any longer? Just to keep him around for a little longer as more than a groupmate? For a second date? He wanted to say nothing, but everything and everyone pointed at telling him, and even he himself had gotten to pointing in the same direction. Sure it would hurt a little more than a normal rejection, since there was the whole involvement of the accidental bites on their necks that would make Wooyoung feel the rejection of him and the twins tenfold, but it was perfect to deal with that during the holiday season, what with all the time he'd have to get over it, move on, and try to get back out there... with two kids.

That was assuming it all went wrong, that he misinterpreted everything the husky had been telling him in the almost two months they'd been in this arrangement, and during the one month they'd spent accidentally bonded. It could go off without a hitch, but he highly doubted that. The more he thought about it as he stood at the door, debating on when to text Mingi that he was there, the more he realized he just wanted to drop the info and run before he could hear the answer. He didn't want to hear the no, but he didn't want to hear the yes either. He'd feel like he was an obligation if Mingi said he wanted to stay around. Now that he kept going... it almost felt like the no would be better, as much as he would have loved to keep him.

He sighed and shook his head; at least enjoy the date first, damn. He opened his phone and sent a simple, "I'm at the entrance, you can't miss me."

@✶ ┆ k. donghyuk. ᵗᵃᵐᵃʳᶦⁿ Junhoe pats his own chest, stepping back and raises his hands playfully. “Oh? My bad my bad. Let’s see how much I’ve underestimated you, then.” The eye roll makes him laugh before he takes a long swig of the golden colored liquid, enjoying the burn that followed after. His body mirrored Donghyuk as he turned around, the second drink already in hand. “I hope those boyfriends are treating you well.” His brow rose. “For the most part,” he nods in agreement slowly. “That’s good. I hope I enjoy my time here as well.”

@✦ ┆ k. junhoe. ᵗᶦᵐᵇᵉʳ ʷᵒˡᶠ “I think you underestimate my ability to drink, June.” He snorts in his own way of agreement, regardless of who gets drunk first and has to pay, he’s just excited that he gets to spend some time with the other. He couldn’t help the second eye roll that he gave at the others initial answer as to why he’s here, knowing he’s just saying meaningless(somewhat) words. “Ah, the breaks are always nice.” He nodded lightly taking another drink, turning his back from the bar and leaning against it lightly as he watched the crowd of people, before humming lightly at the question returned to him. “I was dragged by the boyfriends.” He answered honestly. “It’s been pretty decent actually, I have been enjoying my time here for the most part.”

@✶ ┆ k. donghyuk. ᵗᵃᵐᵃʳᶦⁿ he could practically hear donghyuk roll his eyes in the back of his mind even though his sights were elsewhere. he chuckled at the thought when he turned around and caught him mid roll, arching a brow. “of course. Lightweight pays for din din next time. you can give up now if you’re scared?” he watched as his fellow bandmate opened the tab before ordering his drink and gave a grateful nod once the drink was in his hand. “thanks, bro,” he mumbled to the bartender and turned back to donghyuk. “it’s chilly and a cold world out there. I just wanted to spend it with my best pal? kidding. I just needed a break after the solo. but how did I know I was going to get snowed in? luckily I’m practically made for this weather… why did you come? how’s life here?”

@✦ ┆ k. junhoe. ᵗᶦᵐᵇᵉʳ ʷᵒˡᶠ He rolled his eyes at the others comment as he followed to the bar emitting a soft laugh, though he was in agreement with have a few drinks himself. As the two approached the bar, he looked at the options that were offered to the guests. "So we are in agreement that we're leaving the ball drunk?" He snorted, calling the bartender over, ordering a drink and allowing the other to order his as well and opening a shared tab between the both of them. It wasn't long before the bartender had their drinks in their hands and Donghyuk turned to look at Junhoe. "So what brought you to finally join me here?" He asked curiously taking a sip of his drink

@✶ ┆ k. donghyuk. ᵗᵃᵐᵃʳᶦⁿ cold wouldn’t begin to describe what the weather was like outside at the moment. he almost regretted agreeing to attend the ball as soon as he stepped foot out of his cabin. friend or not, junhoe would ditch donghyuk if it meant beating frostbite. but as he entered the ball and the frozen tips of his fingers melted away, so did the raging regret he’d felt moments before.

“hell yeah? I’m not leaving here without 5. or maybe 10. it might help with the cold, too.” He mumbled, giving an exaggerated shiver before leading the way to the bar.

@✦ ┆ k. junhoe. ᵗᶦᵐᵇᵉʳ ʷᵒˡᶠ » date : dec 6 «

It was two days before the storm was supposed to hit, and it was bone chilling cold outside, and wind was picking up. It was easy to tell that it was coming soon, and Donghyuk was surprised anyone was coming to the ball, but when he found out that his group mate came to the resort he immediately made plans to meet up with the other, since the group lived at their own places and started their own activities they hadn’t had much time to meet up.

Arriving at the ball beside Junhoe, he looked at the other with a wide grin. “Care for a few drinks?”
