[4] Three Ways To Spend A Night
Taehyun was in the kitchen, searching for snacks when Kai came in.
"Hyunnie! What you doing?"
"I am trying to dig up some snacks. You want some?"
"I want chips!"
"Good choice. Let me see if I can find a bag of cheetos."
Taehyun went into the pantry.
When he entered, he saw Yeonjun in there, holding a pack of fruit snacks.
"Hyung, may I ask why you were in the pantry?", Taehyun asked.
"I got locked in when I came to find my charger. I left it in the fruit snacks box. Now move, it's date night and Beomgyu probably thinks I'm trying to ghost him in our own house."
Yeonjun left the pantry.
Taehyun entered and selected a bag of cheetos from the chip bags on one of the shelves.
"Cheetos before a walk never hurt anybody. Unless it has. Then, that's their problem."
Taehyun and Kai sat around the kitchen island.
The older boy got a bag and emptied the cheetos into it so they wouldn't have to reach into the bag.
"So, see any good cartoons lately?", Taehyun asked, attempting to make small talk with the little.
"Oh yeah! I saw new show. It on YouTube!"
"Really? What's it about?"
"It about this underwater animals! They live on ship, and they like pirates."
"Sounds cute."
"It funny."
Soobin came into the room.
"Can I join you two?"
"Sure.", Taehyun said.
Soobin sat down.
"So, what's the plan for tonight?", Soobin asked.
"I'm still going on my walk. Might go a bit further this time because it's cool outside and I won't melt into a pile of caramel ice cream."
"Cool, cool. I guess I'm here with little Kai. I'm down for a cartoon night."
"Yayyy! We watch my show?"
"We can baby."
"Well since you guys have plans, I head out."
"Be safe Taehyun.", Soobin said.
"I will. I have a knife in my bag."
"What-"

Yeonjun and Beomgyu were at a fancy restaurant across town.
"It smells like rich people in here.", Beomgyu said.
"You are one of those rich people.", Yeonjun replied, looking at the menu.
"Yeah you're right. Know what you're getting?"
"I want something with pasta. Maybe chicken alfredo?"
"Oh that sounds good. I might get the same thing."
A group of men walked in, going to the bar in the restaurant.
Yeonjun watched them sit down, and order drinks.
He didn't think of himself as an alcoholic, but whenever he went out, it was special for him, and his dad told him that drinking was a way to celebrate.
But Yeonjun knew the consequences of drinking, and he didn't want to become that person.
Looking at Beomgyu, he thought it was best to not drink tonight.
"Yeonjun hyung, I'm going to get a drink."
"Oh, okay."
Beomgyu went to the bar, ordering something.
A few minutes later he came back with a mojito.
"The bartender was nice."
Their server came up, and they ordered their pasta.
Yeonjun watched Beomgyu with his drink for a few seconds.
One wouldn't hurt.
Would it?
"Beomgyu, I'm going to order a drink."
"Are you sure? I thought you weren't going to anymore?"
"It's just one. It'll be the only one."
"Hmm. Okay then."
Yeonjun walked to the bar.
Deep down inside, he knew it wouldn't be the only drink.
But he would try.
-------------------------------------------------------------
Taehyun was walking down the sidewalk, headphones in, listening to his favorite music.
The lights of Seoul were always beautiful this time a night, he thought.
"I guess I'll stop by the convenience store. I want some mini pizzas."
Taehyun rounded the corner near a store he frequented with Kai on some nights.
He entered the doors, being met with the cool air of the store.
It smelled like coffee, reminding him of the Bucees gas station they went to on their last world tour stop in Texas.
He went to a shelf that contained frozen foods, trying to find some pizza.
"Ooo, cheese pizza. Oh but they have sausage pizza too. Man, I want all of them."
"I'm a cheese pizza guy myself."
Taehyun turned to see Chin-Hae.
"Oh, what are you doing here? You live in the area?", Taehyun asked.
"I was going for a walk. I live in the neighborhood up the hill."
"Nice. I was on a walk as well. But I wanted mini pizzas."
"I see great minds think alike. I was coming in here to rob this store for a their cheese pizzas."
"Then I'll take the sausage ones."
Taehyun and Chin-Hae picked up their pizza selections.
"Hey, I know this is sudden, but do you want to come hang out? I understand if you don't.", Chin-Hae asked.
"I could stop by. We could eat pizzas together."
Chin-Hae smiled.
Truth is, he likes Taehyun, a lot.
But he doesn't know if Taehyun likes him.
And for what he doesn't know, he's willing to find out.
---------------------------------------------------------------
Yeonjun and Beomgyu got into the car.
Beomgyu stretched his arms before buckling his seatbelt.
"Let's go home. I'm sleepy. I think I had too many mojitos."
Yeonjun laughed.
"I had like...three old fashioned drinks."
"More like four. Hehe."
Yeonjun started the car.
He drove off, headed home.
As he drove, a sinking feeling appeared in his chest. The buildings around him looked familiar, and he could feel something happening.
"You okay hyung? You look nervous."
"I'm fine.", Yeonjun quickly replied, focusing on the road.
Beomgyu watched him. He could tell something was off.
Yeonjun passed a clothing store, the same some from his dream.
He pressed on the brakes quickly, stopping just before a car came barreling from the right street of the intersection, rolling over and crashing into a pole.
"Holy shit!", Beomgyu yelled.
Yeonjun looked over at Beomgyu, hugging him.
"I'm so sorry Gyu. I could have been the cause of your death."
"Yeonjun I'm fine. You stopped the vehicle in time. Let's go check on that car."
"Okay...let's go."
They got out of the car, along with a few strangers.
The car that hit the pole was bent at the front.
Yeonjun doubted whoever was inside would have survived the accident, but he wanted to try and help.
Reaching the car, he noticed someone leaning to the side in the driver's seat, and what looked like someone in the passenger side.
"Help me get them out!", he yelled.
Yeonjun has to use all his strength to pull open the bent door of the vehicle.
Once he did, Beomgyu was able to carefully grab the person in the driver's seat, while Yeonjun went around to the other side.
Beomgyu pulled the person out, laying them on the ground.
He took one look, and recognized the person's face.
He heard Yeonjun yell from the other side of the car.
"Beomgyu! Is it really them?!"
Beomgyu stared at the face he was looking at.
Sure enough, he had no doubt he was looking at the face of Seventeen' Joshua.
"Oh no..."
