{ to hell with it ` }
{ w / @gnsebin at the carnival around 9PM / takes place afterĀ āis this allowedā }Ā
Ā Ā he managed to escape - just barely. he felt suffocated by myungsoh and soriās stupid sexual tension and romantic desires. how the two were too stupid to realize what hongki figured out in a second is beyond him.
Ā Ā it was getting late and he was pretty sure his parents said something about 10PM, but he didnāt want to go home. he didnāt want to go on any of the rides either. he just started to roam. carnies called out to him and he ignored them. people he knew called out to him and he ignored them too. he didnāt want to keep being another ornament for everyone.
Ā Ā sighing, he figured he should just go, but he caught a familiar sight just ahead. it was definitely sebin and the other was definitely drunk. for a dead man walking, sebin really didnāt seem to care about his body.
Ā Ā deciding that sebin was the only worth anything anymore, he made his way over. it looked like a security guard caught sight of sebin and figured it was time to throw him out, so hongki acted quickly, moving in front of sebin and wrapping his arms around him, turning him away from the guard. he had a bright smile (a sign of the old hongki),Ā āsebin hyung! itās been ages! you look well!ā
Ā Ā the guard seemed to stop then, making eye contact with hongki who gave him a charming smile. that seemed to be enough for the guard, so he went away. hongkiās smile fell back to its usual frown,Ā āseriously, hyung? drunk at a carnival? there are kids here.ā
perhaps getting drunk at the carnival wasnāt his best plan.
sebin honestly hadnāt thought ahead, not that he tries to do that much these days anyways. whatās the point of plotting for a future he might not have? but the flask was easy enough to smuggle into the festivities, and much easier to sip from the more he drank from it. heās not even that drunk, but apparently drunk enough to argue belligerently with a carnival employee.
figures the wuss would call security the moment sebin called him out for how his game booth was thievery. no one can take honest criticism these days.
heās only just starting to be nervous about actually being kicked out when heās saved by hongki, melting into the embrace comfortably and throwing a lazy look at the guard he had been fussing with as if to sayĀ āhah, screw you iām sticking around anywaysā. the worker looked like he wanted to protest, but ultimately found it useless. they left the two young men be.
āmy hero,ā sebin laughs as he leans a little too heavily against hongki, as if not in full control of where he throws his weight.Ā āiām not thatĀ drunk.. iāve hardly had anything. here,ā he offers the flask, or whatās left of the contents of it, to his friend.Ā āiām dying. what are they gonna do, arrest me?ā
a loud laugh escapes him and he throws an arm over hongkiās shoulder amicably.Ā āthe kids are fine, i donāt care aboutĀ āem. i wanted to go on one of the rides. come with?ā
