Bzzz.. bzzzz.. bzzzz

Wooyoung's phone buzzes in his jeans pocket from where it layed neatly folded on San's desk chair. It buzzed and rang loudly indicating an incoming call and in the process, waking Wooyoung up.

The owner of said phone winces slightly at the annoying sound as he stirs awake. A confused haze fogging his mind as he slowly registered the fact that he was in San's room.

He winces and heaves a loud sigh as he drags himself from underneath the comfy covers then goes digging in his pants pockets for his, still ringing, cell phone.

When he finally recovers it he presses the answer button and lifts it to his ear not bothering to check for who it was bothering his sleep. "What?" He demands groggily.

"Hey now, is that anyway to say hi to me?" Seonghwa's voice replies with a hint of humor laced in.

"If I'd known it was you calling I would've ignored the ringing" Wooyoung says, almost half asleep. He pulls back the desk chair and sits on his pile of clothes. It was at that moment he realized he was wearing his boxer briefs and one of San's old tshirt. He could tell because of how strongly the peice of clothing smelt of the older male.

"Shut up, you love me. Anyways Ivy's throwing a block party tonight? You coming?"

Wooyoung wanted to say yes but a dull headache reminds him that he's supposed to be resting that day. "I don't think I can, Hwa" He says with a wince as he puts his hand on his forehead.

"C'mon.." Seonghwa whines. "They'll be lots of booze. Even heard Ujin's coming"

Wooyoung couldn't believe he was about to turn down such a party. He wasn't one to turn down parties at all. "Ok ok, I'll be there" He caved.

He hears Seonghwa yell out an excited "Yes!" Which causes him to smile a little. "You know I can't turn down a good block party"

"I know. I might bring someone with me.. I don't know yet"

"Bring them. The more the merrier"

"I don't know.. parties just don't seem like his thing. He might get uncomfortable, y'know?" Seonghwa sounds unsure.

"Parties are everybody's thing" Wooyoung leans forward on the desk, arm propped up and head resting on the palm of his hand.

"Well not his. He seems like a coffee and book club kind of guy" Wooyoung could hear Seonghwa's pout through the phone.

"Ooohh" Wooyoung coos excitedly as he sits up straight. "Does Park Seonghwa like this 'coffee and book club kind of guy?'"

"Man I don't know... he's really cool and I guess I like whenever he smiles. He's got the prettiest smile you'll ever see. He's a little shorter than me. Um.. he's just great to be around so yeah I guess I do like him"

Wooyoung lets out a small "whoop whoop". Seonghwa laughs at his response. "Then you should definitely invite him. I wanna meet him"

"Ok.. but hands off alright?"

"Seonghwa" Wooyoung feigns offense. "Despite my reputation I'll never stoop that low and sleep with someone my friend has a thing for"

"Yeah yeah. Talk later, my mom just got home" He groans.

"Ok, later" Wooyoung responds and the line goes dead.

As soon as Wooyoung drops the phone down on the desk the door slowly swings open revealing San who was leaning on the doorway, head cocked to the side slightly.

"Going to a party?" San asks, a blank look on his face.

"Of course you were eaves dropping" Wooyoung scoffs and drags himself to his feet to leave. Unfortunately San was right at the exit. "Can you move?" Wooyoung asks harshly, his eyes looking at everywhere but San's eyes.

"You know you can't go right? Just a couple hours ago you were shaking and sweating like crazy"

"You're not gonna stop me" Wooyoung says with a small laugh, his eyes finally meeting San's. "If I wanna go to that party I will. Now get. out. of. my. way" He repeats, his voice more dark than the first time. Their faces mere inches apart. The tension in the air thick enough to cut through.

Wooyoung didn't care for his sudden ill mannered behavior towards the older all he knew was that he couldn't let San in any closer. He'd already made the mistake of letting San see him at his most vulnerable but he couldn't let it happen again. He figured if he pushed the older away he'd leave him be.

San eventually steps to the side and Wooyoung was quick to brush past him and into his own room across the hall, slamming the door shut behind him.

"A p-party?" Hongjoong stutters out hesitantly.

"Yeah, it'll be a fun little block party. Nothing too big. Just a couple friends" Seonghwa says with a lighthearted laugh even though part of him felt nervous about even just talking to Hongjoong.

Hongjoong on the other hand was extremely uncertain. The last time he was at a party it didn't end so well. That was in freshman year.. nearly 3 years ago. He wasn't sure he was ready to go through anything like that again.

"Uh o-ok. I'll come" He forces a smile even though Seonghwa cleary couldn't see him through the phone.

"Awesome" Hongjoong could hear the smile in his voice. "I'll pick you up at 7, send me your address later"

"Sure" Hongjoong couldn't help but smile at how excited he sounded. "Later I guess"

"Yeah.. later" Seonghwa bites his bottom of lip in attempt to stop himself from smiling so hard.

The call ends and Hongjoong releases a long sigh as he falls back on his bed, a dreamy smile on his light pink lips. Truth be told he didn't want to go to that party but if it's with Seonghwa he didn't mind.

Wooyoung steps out of his room, fully dressed and ready for the party that evening. His lengthy jet black hair pulled up in a small half ponytail, but overgrown bangs still falling in his face slightly. He absentmindedly slides his phone into his pocket as he walks across the hall to San's room.

Not bothering to knock he turns the knob and pushes the door open. "Hey Sa-"

San who had just come out of the shower and was completely naked, about to moisturize, quickly grabs his towel off his bed to cover up his nakedness. "Jesus Wooyoung, do you know how to knock?" He says with a flustered look on his face as he tries to wrap the black towel around his hips.

Wooyoung couldn't help the small smirk that forms on his glossy lips. Then he leans on the doorframe. "Well it isn't anything I haven't seen before. Relax"

San scoffs at him. "What do you want?"

"Do you wanna come with me?" Wooyoung blurts getting right to it.

San just raises a brow at him in question.

"To the party. Come with me" Wooyoung adds, bottom lip nervously caught between his teeth.

"And why would I do that?" San crosses his arms. He couldn't help but find Wooyoung's constant change in attitude towards him a little hard to keep up with.

"Because I'm asking nicely"

San stares at him for a few long seconds then he releases a long sigh. "Ok" This causes the younger male to smile triumphantly. San couldn't help but smile a little at his bright smile.

"Hurry up, we're already late" Wooyoung turns to leave before he stops in his tracks. "By the way I'm sorry about how... rude I was earlier. Thanks for the soup. It was good" He says quickly then shuts the door before San had a chance to say anything.

San stood there, hand holding up his towel and a surprised look on his face. Slowly, a dimpled smile forms on his lips. He didn't know why but something about Wooyoung apologizing was very endearing to him.
