Chapter Text
Doran wasn’t one to mess with parties even if his friends would invite him. He doesn’t fit in a crowd like that, people making out, grinding each other. Hell, he hasn’t even had his first kiss yet.
But his friends kept bugging him about it. Midterms were already over and his friends begged him to accompany them to the party that was currently being hosted by a well known frat group in the university. Well, he was a senior and he’s graduating. It’s not going to be that bad right? Maybe do it for the plot? He was already graduating anyways, so maybe it wouldn’t hurt to try.
Screw that, everything is going downhill right now. Wangho, Dohyeon, Geonwoo and Hwanjoong do another bottoms up while he awkwardly shifts in his seat, his shot glass still filled.
“Come on Hyeonjoonie, loosen up. We deserve this, fuck we’ve been holed up in our rooms for almost two weeks just for exams.” Wangho tries to reason with him as he nudges his shoulder.
“Yeah it’s been hella stressful too. Or if you’re not into drinking, why not try to talk to any hot guys you find in here?” Dohyeon calmly suggests as if it isn't the most outrageous thing he has heard in his life.
“I know some people who could introduce you” Geonwoo casually butting in as he slowly sips his drink. Doran immediately flushes as his hands started flying everywhere in embarrassment. “Guys, don’t even plan on introducing me to anyone” Doran puffs his cheek as he tries to keep himself calm.
Hwanjoong chuckles right beside him as he leans back on the couch. Setting aside the drink in his hand before turning his head towards Doran. “Why don’t you try flirting with the guy who organized the party? I think he’s your type”
Doran’s eyes widens and smacks Hwanjoong’s arm before sighing exasperatedly. “You don’t even know my type” Doran mutters under his breath as he crosses his arms attempting to feel sulky being teased by his friends like this.
The rest of his friends laugh as they watch him try to throw a pitiful tantrum. In their eyes Doran looked absolutely adorable trying to look sulky.
Geonwoo sits down beside Doran and smirks “I think we know damn well what your type is hyung”
“I can show you his instagram profile. I think you’ll be pretty interested” Dohyeon smirked as he pulled out his phone and immediately looked for the profile.
Doran refused to look as he averted his eyes away from Dohyeon. Wangho snickered beside him, his eyes flashing in amusement.
Dohyeon shoved his phone in front of Doran’s face and if he could scream and swear right now as loudly as he could, he would do it.
Moon Hyeonjun. Legal management student, Athlete, Car collector, Gymrat, Dean’s Lister. What made Doran’s whole body heat up is when Dohyeon purposely scrolled down and clicked on Moon Hyeonjun’s gym pictures.
“This is Moon Hyeonjun, he’s the one hosting the party right now”
Holy fuck this man right on the screen was built like an absolute greek god. His shoulders were wide, his back was well defined and has well defined abs.
This man has defined abs as well as biceps. Doran wondered how he could get himself to touch those with his own fingertips. His brain malfunctioned, going into haywire trying to process how could a man like this exist?!
Hell this man even has the best fashion sense he’s ever seen too! How is this fair?!
Geonwoo broke into a fit of laughter as Hwanjoong grinned like a cat. “Told you he was your type”
“Hyung, you’ve been staring at his pictures. I think your saliva is dripping”
Doran snapped out of his trance as a blush crept up his entire face as he pulled away from Dohyeon’s phone. His body heating up in response, the pictures burning through his eyes marking it’s way up to his mind.
Okay maybe his friends were right. They do know his type. “We could totally help you with him” Wangho shrugs his shoulders casually like it wasn’t a big deal.
Doran shakes his head profusely. “Even if he is my type, he’s way out of my league” Doran refuses as embarrassment creeps inside him, how dare he even try to get with a guy like that. He’s just a nobody.
“Speaking of the devil” Dohyeon grinned as he nodded his head at the back of their couch. Doran turned around and his brain lagged again. It’s Moon Hyeonjun in the flesh, wearing an all black outfit with his arms perfectly exposed out in the open.
“It’s your time to shine Hyeonjoonie hyung” Geonwoo chuckled as he waved his arm up to call over Hyeonjun towards their table.
“Hyeonjun! Long time no see!”
Doran immediately glared at Geonwoo, his brain panicking as Hyeonjun spots them and walks towards them. Doran curses at Geonwoo before trying to stand up and leave with Dohyeon immediately pushing him back down on the couch.
“Sorry hyung, but I think both of you guys will click” Dohyeon innocently smiled as his eyes flickered to Hyeonjun who was fastly approaching them.
Doran’s eyes widened as saucers as he moved closer to Wangho’s space, feeling embarrassment override his body as Moon Hyeonjun finally arrives.
Doran’s throat bobbed up and down as he slowly shifted his gaze upwards. Hyeonjun immediately locks eyes with him, Doran’s brain went haywire immediately. Hyeonjun’s eyes light up in amusement and curiosity.
Hyeonjun gives him a small acknowledging smirk like he knows something. Doran should probably go die now, that smirk should not be that attractive to do.
Doran is fucked. He should have not gone to this party at all.
“It’s been a while to see you all here, except for this cutie right here. Is he your friend? Hyeonjun immediately gets straight to the point gesturing towards him and Doran wants the earth to swallow him whole. His whole face turns red from the sudden compliment.
His friends immediately laugh, oh this is going to be interesting. Wangho, who Doran held tightly onto suddenly stood up and clapped Hyeonjun’s back.
“Well we wanted to bring him along, probably introduce him to hot guys” Wangho innocently shrugs his shoulders but his grin shows otherwise. Doran will smack everyone in the head after all this is over.
Hyeonjun raises his eyebrows in amusement as he looks over to Doran. He can feel Hyeonjun’s burning gaze throughout his entire body and it makes him squirm from all the sudden attention.
“Well” Hyeonjun clicks his tongue and glances towards Doran before grinning “I’m part of the hot guy category, maybe you’re interested?”
A couple of whistles can be heard from his friends, he can even hear Dohyeon clapping. But all he could process was what Hyeonjun said. Moon Hyeonjun is offering himself up to him? But Doran looks like an absolute loser! His brain goes into overdrive mode, not being able to say anything as his mouth opens and closes.
“Ah how rude of me, I didn’t introduce myself. I’m Moon Hyeonjun, the host.” Hyeonjun reaches out for a handshake, with Doran’s brain buffering, his hand unconsciously darts out to shake hands with him.
Hyeonjun’s grip was warm and strong like this man could easily manhandle Doran. Oh god, why is he even having these thoughts in the first place?
Hyeonjun grins at him, caressing his thumb on his hands. Doran wants to die, this can’t be real. Why is this man so flirty? How does he do it casually?
“Choi Hyeonjun…” he mumbles, feeling embarrassed that he didn’t even introduce himself because he was busy crashing out.
“Ah isn’t that quite cute, we have the same name” Hyeonjun widens his grin as he holds onto Doran’s hand tightly. He should really take back his hand but Hyeonjun’s hand is so warm.
Hwanjoong snickers beside him as he yawns. “What? Are you two just going to hold each other’s hands the whole night?”
Doran feeling embarrassed immediately takes back his hand and mumbles a soft apology.
Wangho laughs and claps Hyeonjun’s back again. “Well since you guys have chemistry, we’ll leave our friend to you”
Doran glares at Wangho before he could even disagree Hyeonjun nods his head and grins proudly. “Don’t worry i’ll keep your friend entertained”
Doran can’t even fathom what’s going to happen if he’s left alone with Hyeonjun. He might do something stupid like kiss the man but obviously he can’t do that. He silently gives a pleading look to his remaining friends.
Geonwoo just smiles and Dohyeon mouths him good luck before they all stood up and left them alone on the couch. With his friends gone, Doran refuses to make eye contact with Hyeonjun.
Hyeonjun quietly observes the man right in front of him. He was pale looking, quite skinny but had body curves, cute pouty lips and a shy demeanour.
Hyeonjun smiles before sitting down near Doran. “So, it seems like you’re not the type to party?” Hyeonjun tries to stir up a conversation to ease the man a little. He can tell that he was trying not to fidget around.
Doran slowly turns his attention to Hyeonjun before replying “It’s my first time to attend a house party” He embarrassingly says as he awkwardly chuckles.
“Well, tell you what I can teach you to have fun” Hyeonjun smirks as he leans back on the couch. “Just stick around me and i’ll promise to show you a good time” Hyeonjun casually says as he patiently waits for Doran.
Doran bites his lip as he reluctantly agrees. It’s probably going to be not that bad as he thinks it would be. Plus, his friends would never leave him alone with a person they don’t trust. So, Hyeonjun is a person whom he can trust.
“Okay, i’ll go with you”
“Perfect, just stay close to me. Nothing will go wrong.”
Doran shyly nods his head in an attempt to cover up the growing smile on his lips.
“Oh and let’s discuss later the part where you're interested in hot guys?.” Hyeonjun teasingly grins as he stands up and offers his hand to Doran.
Doran’s cheeks turns a new shade of red and groaning as he musters up to take Hyeonjun’s hand. “Please, spare me. If you keep mentioning that I'll die in embarrassment.”
Hyeonjun laughs in amusement as he holds onto their clasped hands tightly. “Fine, but we’ll discuss that later.
Hyeonjun steers them through the crowded floor. Various people come up to Hyeonjun to greet him and make small talk. Throughout the entire time, they were navigating through guests.
Hyeonjun introduced him to his guests. Their clasped hands were long gone, instead Hyeonjun’s arm was wrapped around Doran’s waist while they talked with the rest.
It was the first time Doran felt so comfortable with a stranger’s touch. Hyeonjun wasn’t imposing, he always asked for Doran’s consent. He was comfortable enough to let Hyeonjun have his arm around his waist.
“Finally found someone your type Junnie?”
A voice came through the crowd as the figure approached the two. Hyeonjun immediately looked up and chuckled to see Minhyeong approaching.
Doran bowed his head to greet Hyeonjun’s friend and Minhyeong returned the greeting with a smile. Hyeonjun goes to hug Minhyeong and clap his back.
“His friends introduced me, said he was looking for a hot guy and I offered myself up.” Hyeonjun casually says, shrugging his shoulders, a confident grin mustering up from his lips.
Doran who immediately felt embarrassed and tried to hide his face on Hyeonjun’s chest made the latter chuckle, slowly drawing circles on his waist to comfort him.
Minhyeong looked intrigued and decided to push the teasing further.
“It’s my first time to see Hyeonjun so touchy with a person he just met. Makes me think that you’re different, our Junnie here is picky with people”
Hyeonjun scoffs as he rolls his eyes at Minhyeong’s words. “Well Hyunie is intriguing, want to get to know him more”
Doran froze on the spot as he silently glanced up at Hyeonjun. That nickname was new, but for some reason it felt nice hearing it directly from Hyeonjun, it tickled something inside of him that made him satisfied.
Minhyeong chuckles as he fixes his hair to the side. “Be careful with our Junnie, he’s intense and would drive you crazy.”
Doran slowly nodded his head, looking up at Hyeonjun who immediately caught his gaze on him. Hyeonjun just innocently smiles at him but with a twinkle in his eyes.
“Better introduce him to the others Junnie, so we could ruin your image” Minhyeong jokingly says as he gestures for the two of them to follow him.
Hyeonjun sighs as he whispers to Doran’s ear. “Sorry about that, Minhyeong just likes to stir drama. I’ll introduce you to my friends.”
Doran doesn’t even know how things escalated so fast. They just met a few hours ago, had a few drinks with small talks slowly getting down to the basics and here he is meeting Hyeonjun’s friends already.
But it feels right, he isn’t uncomfortable nor does it feel too soon. Maybe he’s just going with the flow but Hyeonjun’s warm arm around his waist grounds him that everything was fine. They can deal with this after the drinks and people are gone.
But one thing’s for sure, Doran wants to try whatever is happening to them. He wants to see the end to what they started. Maybe this is the plot twist he’s been hoping for?
Doran will know soon enough what it takes to like a man like Hyeonjun. With a reputation that Hyeonjun holds, it will take time for Doran to get used to the spotlight.
Hyeonjun who’s been used to relationships that are short lived will finally know what it means to commit.
And so all the pieces fall, right into place. Getting caught up in the moment, they’ll know what it means to fall in love.
