@Ω┊lee taeyong Guess the only way to win this, is to pretend to play her wishes~
/Taemin sighed with you, shrugging his shoulders but the slit of a grin was presented, nor afraid to show it./
Yes, let's head out. Heh...
/He lolls his head back, laughter spilling out from him freely and returning his soft, glossy spheres onto you./
That's what I meant, ah its okay, as long as you don't feel pressure because you idolized me.
/ His eyes fall to your offered hand; it may seem rejection at first that he doesn't accept it. Instead, he ignores the gesture so he can lock his arm with yours. He tucked your arm firmly to his side and pushed through the traffic foot of the bar. Taemin frees them from the loudness and heat of the bar; they slip out at the front door, where small groups of people huddle in the cold, smoking and vaping while exchanging conversation between chattering teeth./
/Though there was more alcohol in Taemin's blood, his eyes seem to reflect a brightness to them at the mention of coffee, and his grip becomes determined around your limb./
Coffee, I think would help us sober up. And what coffee place do you have in mind, or is anyone we see first just as good?

(should we move to the local cafe room then???)

@β┊lee taemin you are so very reasonable, hyung—too bad she is entirely unreasonable
/sighs but try to shove more encroaching thoughts about my mom and her obsession with grandkids to the side for now. Instead, i find your smile endearing, it makes me relax a bit even though tonight has been anything but, and nods as i listen to you, rules are a good idea
, right, should we head out? i’d like to iron out these rules as soon as possible hyung
,/says as i bite on the inside of my cheek for a moment, lost in thought about what rules would be necessary for a situation like this to work, i’d never had a fake boyfriend before, i hadn’t even had a real boyfriend—just a string of casual encounters, this was going to be a learning curve for me
i appreciate you hyung—and i promise that i’m doing this because i’ve thought you were hot for years now and so as a fanboy i’m going to take my chance at some mutual fun
/lets out an airy laugh though my words were honest, most of the male idol industry were fanboys of taemin, i was no different, watches you curiously as you seem to take a moment to gather yourself, and then our eyes meet, mine are steady with a natural warmth that can’t help but appear when i’m with someone familiar, my lips spread into a smile, and i nod while starting to walk in said direction
I think we should i feel as though there’s a lot we should talk about
/says as i hold my hand out to you with a playful grin, if we’re going to pretend to be boyfriends, well, it didn’t hurt to start practicing now, with that i follow you out to a more quiet area, the air is less heavy and even my scent is lighter in this air, fresh lilies with just a drop of honey, i let out a breath look to you
Want to head back to flowers or maybe hit up a cafe? Some coffee would probably hit so good right now

@Ω┊lee taeyong "She just needs to be patient, surely one day you'll settle down."
The beta laughed behind his hand, the wrinkles still noticeable around his nose bridge as his eyes disappeared to blinding, sun slits over his round cheeks. Every moment with you was never dull; you always seemed to react, always had something to say either with words or with a change of your visage.
"We probably should go over some rules, like a contract deal. And maybe not here, in this noisy bar."
Taemin softly exhaled; he was excited to exchange this deal with someone he had been close with, though the power dynamic, he didn't want that to be the main reason you caved into his wishes. He holds a hand up, wanting to object to that being a reason.

"You did say anything but I also don't want to force you into this, as I said there is another option for this deal. Aish....just promise me, you are doing this because you wish to sleep with me too..."

During the night, Taemin's perfume, which he heavily depended on to mask his beta scent, was starting to weaken, creating a confused array of scents. His natural aroma of vanilla and patchouli meshed with the rum and mahogany manufactured fragrance. The older artist double blinked his eyes shut, recollecting himself before peeking his soft orbs back on yours, curiously wondering what that flicker in your spheres meant, wishing to look deeper into the window of your soul. He motions his head towards the toward, a stretched grin on his visage.

"Shall we step out, talk some more about this deal?"

@β┊lee taemin /groans as the levels of embarassment only seem to grow and i have to close my eyes and pinch the bridge of my nose, wondering now if i should’ve just bought myself a bottle of wine and kept to my room/
Yeah, yeah I know—she’s insane and i sweat she knows it but she prefers to remain delulu
Its more fun for. Her that way I suppose…
/mutters andn rolls my eyes over the last conversation i had with her right before my heat weeks ago, she had asked if had a partner to help take care of me, i told her no, and she expressed her disappointment at the lack of opportuniy to get herself grandchildren, blinks a few times when i catch you fingers waving and my lips settle into a weak pout, because of course you’d be teasing me but—there is a drop of hope/
Really? Okay then…yeah lets do it—
/my brain once again short circuits for just a moment and reboots itself when you lean back in and your playful touch brings a faint sense of warmth to my core, my lips part with a small gasp and then it naturally i move in closer to you, biting my lower lip and tilting my head, there’s a flicker of something in my eyes that oh so rarely shines/
ual favors? /repeats softly and tips my head forward and the corner of my mouth pulls into a small smile
what do you have in mind hyung? I did say I’d give just about anything…and well since its you—that list just may have expanded…
/asks and holds your gaze steady, the closer i move in i can faintly smell your scent, its been awhile since we’ve been this physically close, the notes of musk are nice but something lingers there that intrigues me, rests a hand on your shoulder while your hand on my hip remains playful/

@Ω┊lee taeyong This would be a memory that Taemin would cherish as the years went by, the vividness and details chipping away with time, the way you looked back at him, caught in an embarrassing yet understandable situation.
"Baby fever????"
It was the older man's turn to be dumbfounded by the news, only to quickly let out a roar of laughter, his nose scrunching.
"she should have babies if she has the baby fever, not you. Also, its quite hard to have babies as idols, surely she knows its not easy...."
Taemin lulled his head to the side, giving you the time to register everything during an overwhelming setting, his warm, brown spheres waiting to see that hint on your face that you had put some words together in that head of yours. He waves his finger between them, an amused laugh rippling past his sly curling brims.

"That's a tricky answer, technically both. I am teasing, but I am also being honest."

His eyes twinkle at that singular word, please. It was enough to get this beta to indulge in this deal. His fingertips lightly walk up your thigh, his eyes following his own hand only to stop at where your hip and torso would crease.

"I was thinking you could reward me with ual favors but-" His eyes swiftly lock with yours. "I know that can be daunting, and I don't want you to feel pressure into that stuff, so gifts would do the job as well. mm what do you think?"

His fingertips lightly drum at your hip, his spheres still glued onto yours.

@β┊lee taemin /my faces burns with mortification when you tell me that you heard that conversation, but it slowly eases down as you seem understanding and playful about the matter, and you’re right its not easy dating as idol, i wish my mother would get that through thick skull, my shoulders deflate as i let out a heavy sighh and nod
she did at the start but now she’s got baby fever and wants grandkids ugh…as if thats happening anytime soon
/shakes my head and then my gaze falls back onto you, there’s something about the amused look to your eyes that makes my instincts a little—nervous—you’ve always been an unpredictable person in every sense of the word/
oh who do you have in mind—
/blinks a few times as you move in closer and your hand on my back makes me go still, your breath draws a faint shiver down my spine, my eyes have gone deer-caught-in headlights wide all while my brain tries to process the offer you just made, for a moment i think you must be jokinh especially when you smile at me the way you do, my lips part with the intention with speaking but the thoughts haven’t been put together quite yet, brows pinch together with a small frown at last/
wait—do you mean that or are you just teasing me hyung?
/asks my voice had been serious but there was a tinge whine to it, purses my lips in thought and thinks “well, this is better than begging one of my members to do me a solid, nods slowly/
okay, if you’re being serious then yeah sure—please be fake boyfriend hyung.
and what would you like in return?
/asks with a small smile, i had said i’d do just about anything, it was true so whatever you asked I’d readily agree to it/

@Ω┊lee taeyong Taemin raised a hand, displaying a small between his index finger and thumb, his voice filling in for the visual display, "Mm, almost everything; if it wasn't so loud, then I might have heard every word."

The older idol noticed the flustered notes wash over his companion, naturally, he bumped his shoulder against yours to get your attention, a touch of playfulness. "Hey its not that bad, it is kind of hard to date as idols, no? Surely your parents would be more understanding as it ain't a park in the walk for us."

The beta's head lull to the side, his fringe sweeping across his forehead, with warm, chestnut orbs looking at you. He was amused and enjoying this too much. "I do know someone, and you know them as well."

He closed the space between them, a hand traveling with a lightness to it along your lower back, and his hot breath would come down, tickling at your neck, "Do you think I could be your fake boyfriend...?" Taemin leaned back, a -eating grin stuck to his visage as he eagerly awaited to eat your reaction, already picturing what you may say or do. "Of course, I need something in return if I were to be your 'boyfriend'." His fingers drum against your side, almost imitating the ticking of a clock.

((lol no worries i get carried away often))

@β┊lee taemin /runs a hand through my hair and stares at the bar counter as i wonder if i can get out of this by taking a quick trip out of the country and blaming it on work, knowing my mother though she’d wait for my arrival at the airport, once my drink is handed to me it takes a lot in me not to just throw it back all at once, i did come here alone and that wouldn’t be safe, so i take a generous sip and set it down with another sigh/
wonder who i can bribe…
/mumbles to myself before i hear my name called out, lift my head up, and turn around, my eyes widen when I see you, and then a small smile blossom over my features, it was always great to see you around especially around being in superm together, for a moment i forget my woes—and then your questions not only crashes all those doom-like feelings but to know that you heard that conversation only mortifies me more, coughs slightly and runs a hand through my hair
Hey, Taemin Hyung—did you hear all of that? Damn…well yeah I’m in desperate need of a fake boyfriend
/sighs and feels my face warm with mild embarrassment to admit it to someone i’ve always admired and respected—and well found incredibly attractive, but there’s something in your tone that could lead someone to believe you may have a helpful offer on the horizon, lets my gaze fall back on you and bites my lower lip/
do you…happen to know someone available hyung?
I would owe them big time—and I’d be willing to do just about anything…truly just to get my mom to shut up for a bit

@Ω┊lee taeyong It was a night of hunting for the Beta; the bar was packed, filled with chatter and music; making it rather impossible for anyone to hear their thoughts, though everyone remained and enjoyed the overwhelming ambiance. This was the perfect spot for Taemin to find an attractive prey to bring into his bed, entangle under the sheets, and share ecstatic, body-curling conclusions amongst one another's vessels.

Taemin was pushing through the crowd, trying to find an open spot by the bar, and the stream of people drove him into the open crook by you whilst you were on the phone. Raising his hand to get the bartender's attention, he ordered his choice of poison and waited with his elbows crossing one another, propped on the edge of the bar that was now mixed with unknown spilled liquor.

Without meaning to, he had eavesdropped on the phone call, and tried his best to focus harder amid the loudness of the bar's environment. He was amused by the lies that you were sharing over the phone. He felt bad for you deep down, but that would soon vanish as an idea sparked into his mind chamber, enlightening his features.

Taemin turned to face you, only for his eyes to widen; it was too good; this would have been the first time that his prey be handed to him on a platter. He was pretty close with Taeyong when they were in a group together.

"Taeyong~" He had to speak louder, competing with the noise to get your attention. "You seem to be in a pickle...." The oral commissures raised, curled into a mischievous grin, and his eyes sparkled, creasing into moon-like forms. "Do you need....mm a fake boyfriend to have your parents leave you alone? " He leaves the bait out in the open, would be willing to snatch it, and be reeled onto the beta's platter.

(DON"T MIRROR THE LENGTH, just in a mood XD)

@❀ α┊christian yu ᴰᴾᴿᴵᴬᴺ that's such a kkondae thing to say. tsk.tsk.tsk.

hyoseop bantered, followed by a series of disapproving tongue clicks. his head involuntarily canting to the same direction as yours.

straight...straight what, christian? don't shorten your words. i am such a thick-headed dude, i will need the details to understand. besides, didn't we both establish we were "dumb dorks", both equally if not more.

both his hands raised to create the air quotes, the ice globe clinking and liquor sloshing within the glass from the abrupt movement.

I'll sound ungrateful if i say i don't like being a wolf because i cannot bang people as much as i want, no?

and although he was joking about it. hyoseop wouldn't deny that he rejected his animal counterpart from birth. he still does. but what's the point of scratching aged scars? [frankly, he was just afraid that those keloid were still raw underneath]

i don't know.

at your question, he responds with a small shrug of shoulders. the boyish grin bracing his visage giving him a younger appearance than usual. the glass is clinked to yours.

to friendship and drinking itself?
do we need a reason for everything.

@β┊lee taemin /sighs heavily as I stare at the screen another long message from my mother nagging me about bringing a boyfriend home, if my eyes could roll back any further I'd fear the damage it may cause, my phone then rings and my mom appears on screen, the panic that fixes over my expression could be comical to anyone else but me when I have answer thr phone/
Hi mom--yeah no I'm out right now so I really can't talk. With who--oh um...I'm on a date right now.
I didn't tell you sooner because I didn't want to jinx it! Mom please I'm trying to have a nice date can we talk tomorrow
Fine i'll bring him home to meet you and dad soon...we have the family gathering next right? Okay I'll be there and yes I'll bring my boyfriend. Ugh...okay bye
/let's out a heavy sigh when at last I can hang the phone up, defeat settles into my shoulders after what felt like going through the 5 stages of grief in that short phone call that felt like an eternity to me, I slump down onto the bar counter and groan to myself, the var tender gives me a funny look and I lift my head up and ask/
Can I get a vodka cranberry and maybe a boyfriend on the side? Just kidding...but totally not ...I'm so ed
/rubs my temples as I wait for my drink and think how am I going to get out of this one

@α┊ahn hyoseop ♛ "I'm letting you. Did you not hear me?" Christian chuckled and rose his hands in defeat;"Okay, okay you win- although I think i'm older and your hyung should pay, no?" An index is pressed to the bottom lip as the head tilts and the brows lift in a playful manner. He's giving Hyoseop a hard time.

"As you say.. still feels kind of dumb to relay it to people- you never know who believes how the world and its people are evolving. You know back in the day there was only straight, so.. yeah. but thank you for listening. Feels kind of dumb to me though." shoulders lifted in a shy shrug.

As he'd proceeded into the darker part of the conversation, he subtly jolts at the touch to his face, and allows his friend to meet eye to eye, although he does gently lean away. The touch felt.. intimate, and while he wasn't rejecting it, being out in public, for someone to do that felt.. strange. "Uhm.. it's.. an even longer story..so I guess.. you could count yourself lucky you're not a black mamba aye?" He tries to make light of the awkwardly uncomfortable conversation as his fiddling hands are reached for. The two opt for a brief squeeze, the natural coolness of his body temperate an obvious reminder of his cold-blooded hybrid. Then, the drinks are given, and he follows suit;"What are we raising our glasses too, or for?" He remarks with a soft chuckle and a grin.

[] https://i.imgur.com/pAcPnDc.gif

@❀ α┊christian yu ᴰᴾᴿᴵᴬᴺ hyoseop is completely quiet. his wandering eyes, eventually, remained on you. he is simply studying the myriad expressions upon your sculpted visage, expressive and everchanging while you voiced your thoughts, crystal clear for his understanding....and yet.

and yet, he could have sworn you were an enigma. the feeling, if he were to describe was like digging in a mine with bare hands. hyoseop would barely scratch the surface. and mayhaps, he preferred their current arrangement. he may laugh with you and promise to walk together under your sunlight, however beneath his night, he would lament and walk alone. bad habits are difficult to break, but not his melancholic ruminations that scatter, once he caught starting to space out. phew.

christian, just accept the drink and let me pay. it is weird, walking into the same place where you were wounded in the past. but the fact that you don't dislike it, is a good start.

he is simpering at your second apology in a row, within the span of a few minutes.

relax, christian. i am not bothered by the suggestion. I'd rather you educate me on the demiromantic chapter. I know, but not enough.

the wolf doesn't like the smile dropping from your face, and to certain extent he felt responsible for drawing such a crestfallen expression. his fingers extended to touch your jaw, his light but firm grasp, to raise your chin, just slightly for he only meant to regain your attention.

that is—

hyoseop exhaled deeply. how does one respond to such raw honesty? with empathy? no, he was in no position to do so.

— that is pretty ed up. who are these ers labelling people around to their conveniences, huh?

hyoseop's hand intentionally falls onto your fiddling fingers, he noticed but feigned ignorance. not breaking eye contact. after a gentle squeeze, it lingers until the temperature of his palm start to feel a tinge cooler. any longer and things would have gotten awkward between them. rather, he redirects them to grab his drink, finally placed before him. he picks the glass contain an ice globe, half-submerged by the rich amber liquor. then he waits, for you, to raise yours.

@α┊ahn hyoseop ♛ "I-.. good point. I guess I'm just.. a little shy. I'm sorry." Christian's words express sincerity. "I've been noticing as Chanhee tries to take care of me that I have a discomfort to being taken care of. I don't dislike it, it just feels.. weird. The last time I did that.. well you know, misplaced trust, yadda yadda, never again. You've heard the spiel a thousand times by now, I'm sure." There's a sudden silence between the two men, Hyoseop looking around- though for what reason Christian can't pinpoint.

When lips part to inquire on reasoning, a response comes. "Oh." Nothing more is said until his friend finished their answer. This was different, and new information. Christian by no means assumed any level of expertise, but he didn't think wolves mated for life, only penguins. "I see.. I'm sorry to have made the suggestion for a temporary fix for your rut. I'm.. much the same, as a man. I'm demiromantic. I'll uh.. explain if you don't know, don't wish to assume." A gentle smile lifts to his features.

No sooner does the smile appear, does it fade. Eye contact drops to his own hands rather than look at his friend. "Uhm.. my ruts are..similar.. to a degree." It's subconscious, the way tattooed fingers lightly begin to fidget with the hem of the worn shirt, or wring the hands. "Very overwhelming physically, as they are emotionally. I uh.. express out loud a lot. I cry from stress. I have a hard time eating or hydrating during the process, so I'm labeled special needs. Really humiliating. It uhm.. it ."

@❀ α┊christian yu ᴰᴾᴿᴵᴬᴺ hyoseop reclined, ironically to nothing to lean back on just so he doesn't his neighbour seated behind him-
the hand that was extended to rest on your kneecap, withdrawn to rest on his own lap, again.

so even when you call me your friend, you won't let me get you a single drink?

the wolf doesn't sound offended, just very amused. while their drinks are getting fixed, hyoseop takes a cursory glance around the interiors of the bar. before they return to his companion. he was a tight lipped-man, his secrets which he did intentionally reveal would be like riddles or cryptic notes. even now, he is heavily pondering. his chatty disposition, suddenly quiet. eventually, he cleared his throat to speak.

I am a wolf hybrid. our kinds believe in one mate for life till death, which is a problem in itself because even if there is means to relief myself via a temporary partner, it is impossible.
ruts are becoming what I call dante's circles of hell. every single becomes worse that the one before. I would explain more if I could, but I can't.
what about you, christian? how is it for you?

@α┊kim hongjoong Sunwoo hummed softly, smirking over at his mate. "Of course I nail dark concepts~" He mused softly. "Hello Kitty? Maybe I'm Hello Kitty. The Hello Kitty that wants to off people." He chuckled softly, enjoying his mate's possessive actions. He could feel other stares on him but his eyes remained on Joong. Eyes that shine with love and admiration for his mate. He'd purposely dressed this way to flaunt the claiming marks on his body. But clearly that didn't deter anyone from staring at him. "Mmmm... An old fashion kind of guy, hm~?" He teased softly. Sunwoo looked around the bar, he could see the appeal it had. "I'd much rather be here than a club. It's nice. Slow paced... Not as obnoxiously loud as a club..." He leaned over, kissing Joong's cheek. "As much as I want to be like 'that's not good to be here drinking when you're mad'... I'm not particularly one to talk... Only mine is when I'm stressed and don't have anyone around to help me."

@α┊kim hongjoong "Mmmm... You, babe... You and Hee... You guys are my type." Sunwoo mused softly. "Protective... Possessive... Dark... Though... Chanhee's not necessarily dark..." He hummed, leaning into Joong's side, watching them as they're all finishing their cigarettes. He flashed a smile to the bouncer as they were walking inside. He was just happy to be out and about with his mate. He had been so excited he had nearly forgot to put shoes on when he left. Though he'd ended up settling on these silver lace up sandals. Stepping up to sit on the stool, humming softly. "Oh... Hmmmm..." He paused, thinking about what he wanted to drink. "Erm... An Amaretto sour, please..." He enjoyed the atmosphere. It wasn't outrageously loud like nightclubs. He always gets a headache when he goes to those. He liked this a lot better. "I like this place..."

@α┊kim hongjoong Sunwoo smiled when Joong turned his way. He liked the way Joong's gaze scanned him. It made him shiver, it was a good thing. Though the way Joong's smile faded made Sunwoo nervous. He walked closer, watching Joong's quick movements as he came towards Sunwoo. "Hey b-." He was cut off by the way Joong kissed him so roughly. His hands resting on Joong's face to kiss him back eagerly. "That... My loving alpha... Was the point~..." Sunwoo cooed softly. He nuzzled the alpha with a smile. "They might be looking at me... But I'm only looking at you, Joong. Besides..." He glanced around with a hum. "None of them are my type anyways. They'd have zero chance with me." He followed Joong with a smile, warmly greeting the group of people, holding onto Hongjoong's hand tightly.

@α┊kim hongjoong Sunwoo hummed softly as he walked. He was excited to surprise Joong with the outfit he'd specifically chosen for this. It flowed with his favorite color, blue. Sunwoo isn't particularly one to go to bars by himself. But when it was suggested they come he was okay with it. He checked his outfit in a window as he walked past a shop. He looked at his phone when it buzzed. Smiling when he saw 'My Alpha' on the screen with a text message.
*Text @My Alpha: I'm almost there, love~ I can see the bar from where I'm standing!*
He sped up his pace, smiling when he saw Hongjoong talking and smoking with a group. "Joong~!" He called out with a smile, waving. He swallowed hard, anxious for Joong's reaction to the outfit he'd chosen.

@α┊ahn hyoseop “..yes really.” Lips purse into a playful frown. “I’m a difficult man, I know. As for a great adventure, I don’t think so. But I appreciate your humor.” Shoulders lift, in a shrug. “Uh.. I think I’ll stick with soda. I’m still recovering, I am already tired as it is. A ginger ale for me if they have it and if they don’t, I’ll just take a Sprite. I’ll buy my own drink, so no worries.” At the hand to the knee, he does smile, but if it remains, it’s politely pushed away. While rut had ended, the remnants still offset emotions and mood. He couldn’t risk that itch of need, he wasn’t fully in the clear. “Is that so? Seems you and I are like then. Seeking to self soothe. Remind me again, what is your hybrid? If I might ask a personal question, what is it like for you? Rut, I mean. I can smell that you’re an alpha too.”

@❀ α┊christian yu ᴰᴾᴿᴵᴬᴺ hyoseop had least expected such an exuberant reaction from you. often restraining himself from tossing his dirty humour, one joke at a time, in public environment at least.

aw really.

he sounded a touch disappointed at your answer. however mischief seemed to burning like a perpetual wildfire within his eyes.

I was looking forward to hearing the tales of indiana jones on his exploration of the great cave.

at the mention of drinks, hyoseop side-glanced at the barkeep then back at you.

I have. what about you, christian?

his hand outstretched, placing it on your knee, rubbing them gently as a reassurance.

no, it's better that you be honest with me. I am glad you texted back when you regained you sense.
I am quick with texts, calling on the other hand, I struggle a lot.
mentally preparing for the rut, I suppose. I need some company so I'll be able to put off feeling lonely even for a bit.

he admitted with a sigh. the wolf should be accustomed to spending rut without a partner, he was, but if certainly didn't become easier to bear it, alone.

right-! I want some bourbon on the rocks. and you, christian?

@α┊ahn hyoseop !!! Christian bursts out with unfiltered laughter, able to be heard clear across the establishment for a short beat of time. "No- no! Hahaha, Gods no. I just wanted to /make sure/ I'm clean." with Hyoseop's posture, Christian naturally leans back a little, bracing an arm on the counter. "You want to see what they have to drink? Or you know what you want?" At the admittance of being missed, his smug expression falters, soft appreciation, and a moment's pause, body still facing company. He's at the far end so his back is facing out a window rather than a possible stranger. "I'd be lying if I said I missed you in return, my ruts are rough. But, for what it's worth, once I could think I did think of you. Just.. took me awhile to text. I'm not a big texter. and why are you wanting to drink? Guess I can flip your question back on you, now."

@❀ α┊christian yu ᴰᴾᴿᴵᴬᴺ four times seems like an overkill, no? were you expecting an adventurous visitor before I interrupted?

hyoseop is overjoyed to see you after so many days. he inhaled deeply, in an attempt to stabilize his unnatural pace of breathing, dropping onto the seat beside you, like a lifeless sack of potatoes. both hands wedged between his kneecaps and pressed against the plush seat, leaning forward.

touché, christian.
I missed you, that's why. besides, I have been looking for opportunities to drink.

@α┊ahn hyoseop Christian turns to Hyoseop with a bright-eyed grin;"Well, I'll have you know I washed my arse four times just to be sure since I /was/ moving so quick-" A hand retracts from the bar stool beside him as he welcomes company with a hand gesture before rubbing at a forearm. "You look like you rushed just as much as I did, eager too are we? Please, please you flatterer-" He's almost smug behind his hung grin.
[] https://i.imgur.com/m6cDZAU.gif

@❀ α┊christian yu ᴰᴾᴿᴵᴬᴺ short of breath, the brisk walking ceasing before the entrance of the bar. air suspended before his face, for a couple of seconds before disappearing. the day has been, especially cold.

however hyoseop was sweating, profusely. using the back of his hoodie's sleeve to wipe the salty beads gathered around his hairline above his forehead and the tip of his nose. he entered the establishment, requiring little to no effort spotting his companion seated on the linearly aligned stools infront of the bar counter. he chuckled at the sight of christian guarding the stool next to his, rather protectively.

he walked upto his friend, gently tapping on the shoulder.

did you make sure to clean the back of your ears, dear christian?
I am afraid that shower was terrifyingly quick.

@α┊ahn hyoseop Christian sits at the bar, there's no drink purchased, but he's placing his hand on the empty stool beside him on the off chance his company was wanted by interested parties.
