Chapter 8
The days passed quickly once the cousins started having fun in their new school. During the school day, Jonghyun hung out with his music buddies while Taemin hung out with his dancer buddies. Key and his friends would talk to the cousins whenever they had the chance, and Jonghyun and Key seemed to get along very well. Key and Jonghyun didn’t hang out very much during school hours due to their varying social circles, but they did continue to text every single night.
The cousins experienced the school’s very first pep assembly by their third week of school. Jonghyun and Taemin were amused at the student government’s attempt of keeping everyone awake by dancing weirdly and telling lame jokes. Both admired how Key and Onew seemed to get everyone’s attention and had everyone cheering them on. There wasn’t really a lot of difficult school work for the first month of school, and so when the second party of the school year came along, there was no reason for Taemin and Jonghyun not to go. Jonghyun did have the option to go to the hospital as an intern again, but he had asked his father if he could spend the Saturday with some friends, and his dad nonchalantly agreed seeing as the Hospital hasn’t had as many patients lately.
Jonghyun and Taemin were allowed to stay out later than nine o’clock for the second party, since Jonghyun was actually able to go and watch over Taemin. The only rule was that they had to be home before Jonghyun’s dad, who was staying at the hospital past midnight. Kibum and Onew picked Jonghyun and Taemin up on the night of the party and the two didn’t leave before starting a short, Korean conversation with Jonghyun’s mom. They were both polite and kind, causing Jonghyun’s mom to absolutely adore and trust them. She had the impression of ‘good kids’ and she sent them out with a “Don’t mind Mr. Kim, come home whenever, just don’t forget to check in by midnight!” Onew and Kibum laughed at this while Jonghyun and Taemin shook their heads and rolled their eyes good-naturedly.
Onew was driving this time. Onew’s car was significantly bigger than Key’s. It could seat up to nine passengers, with enough elbow space to spare. Taemin really liked Onew’s car, since it smelled somewhat like oranges. Jonghyun laughed at Taemin’s contented expression, knowing that his younger cousin had a huge thing for orange-scented car freshener.
They arrived at a rather large brown house. The house was surely bigger than the previous house that Taemin had gone to for the first party; and if possible, everyone also seemed to be even more beautiful this time around. The guys were dressed nicely and a lot of the girls wore dresses. Nobody looked trashy at all, and they all looked like they were of a high social class.
Taemin noticed a big black banner that read “Higher Society” in big green letters once they entered the large house. He wondered about the sign out loud and Key answered, “That’s what they call us,” with a wink. Taemin was confused but he smiled anyways. He kind of liked it. Higher Society.
Jonghyun looked calm. He seemed to already be used to the ‘house-party-scene’ and easily got along with anyone who introduced themselves. Unlike before, the kitchen of the house was already packed with various types of alcohol and a stack of plants, paper and bongs. Jongnhyun snorted as he recognized the abundance of weed, but he wasn’t surprised at all. He’s never smoked the stuff before, but he was definitely used to seeing it. Jonghyun suddenly began to worry about Taemin.
“Tae…you didn’t smoke this stuff, did you?” Jonghyun asked softly as Key and Onew began rough-housing with the other guests in the kitchen.
“No hyung, I had one bottle of beer, I swear that’s all,” Taemin promised. Jonghyun nodded and patted his head.
“Good,” Jonghyun said, half smiling.
Key and Onew poured themselves drinks and offered some to the cousins. Key started with beer this time, saying something about saving the Smirnoff for later. The cousins accepted the cups handed to them and they all soon filed into the living room. Some of the guys, including Minho, were playing Madden NFL 11 on the big screen TV while others danced around. Some gathered around the TV as if they were watching an actual football game. The music blared loudly and everyone just seemed to be hanging out. Jonghyun was on the verge of becoming extremely bored when Taemin had told him that the party hasn’t even started yet. It was still early. Key and Onew stood and watched the virtual football game and Jonghyun and Taemin stood beside them, just to pass time.
It was about nine o’clock when the house seemed to become full of people, just as it had at the previous party. When everyone arrived, Minho and the other game-players stopped playing and put on a gore movie. The lights were dimmed and the music became louder. Jonghyun and Taemin sat by each other on the now-un-occupied couch while everyone seemed to go to the kitchen to get their fill of whatever they liked. The cousins had no idea where Key and Onew were at this point, and they just sat there confused. By now, people were making out in corners and were doing shady things in the dark. The air also became hazier as everyone seemed to be smoking their lungs out. Just as the cousins finished their last few sips of their drinks, Key appeared behind them, his vodka drink in one hand, Nicole attached to the other.
“Why don’t you guys get up and do something?” Key yelled over the loud music. Jonghyun just smiled and shrugged. He honestly didn’t know what to do, being in a house full of strangers. Minho appeared behind them with a blunt between two of his fingers. He blew the smoke upwards and stuck his head beside Jonghyun and Taemin.
“Loosen up, guys, let’s go,” Minho cheered. He once again did his infamous howl and was lost in the crowd.
“Let’s dance!” Key suggested. Jonghyun and Taemin agreed, since they had nothing better to do. They just entered the crowd and the crowd accepted them. Taemin danced shyly while a group surrounded and encouraged him to ‘show his stuff’ (apparently, they knew about his dancing now) and Jonghyun remained cool and accepted dances with the girls who offered to dance on him. Key, Taemin, Jonghyun and Nicole stayed relatively near each other. Jonghyun saw how Nicole expertly backed up on Key and he tried his best to hide the fact that he was cringing because of how wrong it looked. Both Key and Nicole looked like talented dancers though, Jonghyun had to admit. Jonghyun attempted to ignore the couple and continued to dance with the other girls, who were also pretty skilled at what they were doing, bumping and grinding.
They all managed to have fun and only took a break from dancing once Key finished his drink. Key left the ever-energetic Nicole on the floor; since she insisted anyways, and she went on to join her group of lady friends as they started a grinding-train. Key dragged Taemin and Jonghyun with him to the kitchen where a few crowds sat together to pass around bongs and blunts, most of those people being obviously high. Key reached for the vodka and mixed a drink, eventually offering it to Taemin.
“Would it be fine?” Key asked permission, looking at both Taemin and Jonghyun. Taemin and Jonghyun exchanged looks. Jonghyun shrugged.
“Ah, what the hell, let’s do it,” he grinned. Taemin choked after one sip.
“Oh shit, my throat is burning even more with this,” Taemin scrunched up his face in disgust. Jonghyun took a sip also but then handed the drink right back to Key, who was once again, laughing.
“Is it too strong, or are you guys just trying to get me drunk? Don’t answer that because either way, I’ll get there eventually,” He joked. Key then motioned to the stack of weed, “Wanna try?” he raised his eyebrow.
“…Actually, I do,” Jonghyun admitted. He’d be lying if he said he never thought about it, “I don’t know if Min should…”
“Aw, don’t ruin my fun, hyung!” Taemin pouted, obviously a bit drunk already. Jonghyun sighed, regretting accepting Key’s offer.
“I’ll light one up so we can do it together,” Key said.
“You’ve done it before?” Jonghyun asked curiously.
“Why, yes. Of course,” Key nodded, unashamed. He lit up a blunt, took a huff and blew out a cloud. He then closed his eyes and smiled, “your turn” he handed the blunt to Jonghyun.
“Cheers to my lungs which were never before damaged until this night,” Jonghyun sighed, taking a huff. He quickly blew the smoke out and passed the blunt to Taemin. After just a single lung-full, Jonghyun felt dizzy, but in a good way, “Take it slow,” he advised his younger coisin with a cough. Taemin nodded and stuck the small roll up to his mouth. Jonghyun looked pained as he watched the blunt touch Taemin’s once-so-innocent lips, but then he told himself to just accept the fact that his cousin was growing up. Jonghyun trusted that Taemin wouldn’t take it too far anyways.
Taemin blew out a pretty puff of smoke and Key applauded him for taking it like a pro. Key wasn’t sure about letting Taemin do what he was letting Taemin do, and so they just stood in the kitchen passing one small blunt around until the it fully kicked in.
“You guys feelin’ it yet?” Key asked. Jonghyun opened his eyes wide and began shaking his hair away from his face.
“I believe so,” Jonghyun grinned. Just then, a guy with a cute face started walking around the kitchen, holding up a camera and then stopping at Key.
“KEY! Suuuup,” the boy said.
“Yo, Henry. Suuuup,” Key imitated. The boy pointed his camera to his self and started talking.
“Guess who I spotted, guys? It’s the almighty party rocking king himself,” The guy said, before proceeding to point the camera back at Key, “Say hi,”
“Yeee, what’s up?” Key flashed a peace sign, “What’s this even for, man?”
“Nothing man, just documenting the days of my life, you know? Who are your new friends, by the ways?” Henry asked. Key introduced the cousins and they waved to the camera.
“Are you posting this up on facebook to ruin my reputation?” Key laughed, taking the blunt as Jonghyun passed it to him. Key took a long drag.
“Definitely,” The camera-guy grinned. Key blew the smoke to the camera and made a lop-sided shape with his mouth (the right side of his top lip sticking up).
“I’m not bad though,” he stated, “I’m hella good,” Key gave the camera-man a cocky grin. Henry laughed for a second, but then the girl who Taemin and Jonghyun previously met, Amber, jumped on the camera guy and convinced him to follow her as she enthusiastically started to host his little video.
“Shall we?” Key motioned to the living room as the blunt that they were passing got too small and was abandoned in a little ash-tray. Taemin lifted his foot to follow but then stumbled sideways and started laughing.
“Let’s do this!” Taemin exclaimed, raising his fists up. Jonghyun and Key just laughed at the younger and they proceeded to the living room. Each being high as a cloud, they all moved in a way that was both sluggish and energetic. The music got dirtier and faster paced and everybody in the house danced in one sweaty circle.
Key was relieved that nobody stank too badly because everybody was touching and bumping on everybody. He wasn’t high enough to have the ability to ignore how gross the sweat of others was, but he shrugged it off knowing that he wouldn’t mind it by the end of the night. Onew (who stuck to his previous words and let loose at this party) appeared next to Key with a bong in his hand and Key gladly took it with a wide smile. They jumped around until Key spotted Nicole’s grinding train. Key laughed at how many girls were participating (grinding at perfect rhythm) and how many guys were watching with lustful stares. Key, being who he was, decided to mess around and show the girls that they weren’t the only ones who knew how to ‘back it up’. He gathered his usual group of friends (Onew, Minho, Dongwoon, Jinwoon and even Taemin and Jonghyun) and told them what to do. They were all either stoned or drunk as fuck, so they agreed. Key instructed everyone to get out of his way and he looked at Nicole (who was leading the train) with a smirk. She laughed, knowing exactly what was about to happen. The order was, Taemin (being the best dancer) at the front, and then Minho, Onew, Key, Jonghyun, Dongwoon and Jinwoon. They started imitating the girls, and everyone cheered them on...and then things got kind of weird.
Since the girls were being sultry at their best, the boys began doing that too. It became a challenge. As the girls started getting touchy with one another, the boys did too. It started with Minho. Taemin was both drunk and stoned, so he was rolling his body and dancing the best he could. There was no doubt that he knew what he was doing, even though he didn’t really know what was going on. Taemin was actually just expertly imitating Nicole, amusing the girl to no end. Taemin was bent forward slightly, rolling his hips to the rhythm of the music. Minho was very drunk so at this point, anything was sexy. He found himself moving closer to Taemin let one of his hands rest on the other sophomore’s waist. Taemin barely felt anything, all he knew was that he was dancing and he liked it. Onew had no idea what the hell he was doing. He didn’t even know how to grind but he was able to follow along with all the dancers around him. Since Minho was too preoccupied with Taemin to do his howl, Onew did it for him.
Key was having a grand time, managing to look perfect while grinding and getting grinded on. Jonghyun wasn’t going to let Key do better than him, so he attempted to do everything perfectly too. Key caught on to Jonghyun’s challenge and smirked; his body rolls getting more and more suggestive. It somehow became a competition on who would be the best at grinding between Jonghyun and Key, and if Jonghyun’s mind wasn’t hovering a few feet above his head, he would have laughed at how ridiculous it was. But then Key got a little too close to Jonghyun and Jonghyun let out a groan that was a little too sexy for Key. Both boys getting a bit too excited, Key’s main goal suddenly became to see how far he could push the boy behind him. Key straightened from his bent-over position, and backed up towards Jonghyun. Once he got close enough, he arched his back and stuck his ass straight to Jonghyun’s crotch. Jonghyun let out another strained groan and proceeded to lean back also. Key threw an arm back to run his fingers through Jonghyun’s hair and Jonghyun found himself resting his own hand lightly on Key’s hips. Everyone laughed, assuming that Key and Jonghyun were imitating the two girls that looked like they were practically having sex on the dance floor (for the amusement of all the horny, testosterone filled high school boys that were watching).
Onew caught on to Jonghyun and Key’s actions and started to lean back too. Eventually, all the other guys in the train were leaning back. Dongwoon and Jinwoon got too excited and both fell backwards, causing the whole group to fall. The crowd watching began laughing and cheering. The song ended and the grinding trains broke apart, and as the boys stood up from the ground, Key and Jonghyun exchanged a short confused and slightly longing gaze. Key shook his head and walked away. When everyone was up, the dancing pit was restored, and it was once again a sweaty mess.
Jonghyun looked towards Key’s direction. Key was standing next to Nicole and she was squishing his face.
“Come on, hyung!” Taemin called, dragging Jonghyun further into the crowd. Jonghyun lost sight of Key, but then he decided that it was probably for the better. He danced with Taemin for a while before he managed to ask himself…“What the fuck just happened?
*****
The night settled in, and nobody in the house made a move to leave. The lewd dancing continued, but people were more preoccupied playing monopoly and finishing what was left of the obviously illegal amount of marijuana in the kitchen. Jonghyun, Taemin and Onew sat down in a circle next to the couches to play a rather racy game of ‘truth or dare’ with a bunch of strangers. Some of the strangers included who Taemin recognized to be Jessica Jung, Amber and the guy who the cousins met earlier, Henry. Jessica spun a beer bottle, laid at the middle of the circle, and it landed on Amber. The masculine girl mumbled curses under her breath. From Taemin’s observations, this Jessica girl really liked to get freaky with her truths and dares.
“Amber-ah, truth or dare?” Jessica asked, raising an eyebrow.
“Uh…truth,” Amber looked unsure. Taemin was sure that either answer would have led to something terrible anyways.
“Okay! Amber-ah, I know you used to have a thing for my little sister, Krystal. Ever had a wet dream about her?” Jessica grinned, “I’m honestly curious,”
“Fuck you, Jess. And yeah, the answer is yes, does that answer please you?” Amber retaliated, cheeks burning red (though, it could have just been the alcohol). Jessica burst out laughing and the crowd went “ooooh”
“Yes, yes, that does please me,” Jessica said, her words framed with her high pitched laughter, “Oh my goodness, I’m so using this against you,” Amber got up for her turn to spin the bottle, and when she did, it landed on Jonghyun.
“Oh, Jonghyunnie, my twin,” She smiled, “Truth or dare?” Jonghyun’s eyes widened in surprise, not expecting the bottle to ever land on him.
“Uh…dare?” Jonghyun answered, hesitant.
“You sure? Ah, you don’t know what you’re asking for, handsome,” Amber smiled wider, “I don’t know you too well, so I’ll start light. Remove all visible clothing and roll me one in the kitchen, please,” Everyone laughed at her ridiculous request, and Jonghyun found his self, half-smiling in amusement. Compared to the previous dares, this one may have been embarrassing, but it was definitely not the worse she could have done. With that, Jonghyun slowly began removing his clothes, earning whistles and cheers from the crowd who for the most part, didn’t even know him. When all visible clothing was removed, he got up and walked to the kitchen in his boxers. More whistles and cheers were earned, and he proceeded to roll a joint for Amber. Jonghyun borrowed a lighter from one of the bystanders and smoked the said joint as he walked back to the circle. Key happened to have joined the game once Jonghyun had returned. If Jonghyun wasn’t so baked, maybe he would have noticed that the gaze that Key was sending him lasted a little too long and scanned over his entire body. Key snapped himself out of whatever thoughts were swimming in his mind and began laughing at Jonghyun. Jonghyun just grinned back and passed his blunt to Amber.
“Why, thank-yah,” Amber accepted, “go ‘head; spin that bottle,” she motioned. Jonghyun reached for the bottle. It spun and landed on a guy that Jonghyun’s never met before.
“Umm…go kiss someone in the kitchen on their mouth and shout ‘YOLO’” Jonghyun nearly giggled.
“Oh, what the fuck,” The guy sighed and followed through. Everyone was in hysterics, but with the haze of marijuana smoke surrounding them; it wasn’t very hard to find everything funny. Nicole kissed Key goodbye, as she announced that she had other responsibilities to tend to. The party continued and as the game went on, more clothing came off.
They weren’t sure how they got there, but at 12:06pm that night, Key, Jonghyun and Taemin found themselves lying down on the stairs staring at the ceiling where they swore they saw constellations. Jonghyun had just finished checking in with his mother, doing his best to sound as sober as he was capable of. He settled on ‘the less words spoken, the better,’ and since Jonghyun’s mother wasn’t one to pry too much, it worked out fine.
“Hyung, why do you call yourselves ‘higher society’?” Taemin asked out of the blue, somehow finding a comfortable position as he laid down on the staircase. Key looked at the boy from his spot where his head rested on Jonghyun’s lap.
“That’s an excellent question, my dear. Many people think we’re cocky bastards, naming ourselves ‘Higher Society’, but in actuality, our name really only means one thing: we’re just like regular society…” Key paused, “except a little higher,” he emphasized with an inebriated laugh. Taemin thought about Key’s answer for a second, and then joined Key’s giggle-fit once he realized the pun. Jonghyun smiled hazily at Key’s head, which shook side to side in laughter on his lap. Higher, get it?

Chapter 8
The days passed quickly once the cousins started having fun in their new school. During the school day, Jonghyun hung out with his music buddies while Taemin hung out with his dancer buddies. Key and his friends would talk to the cousins whenever they had the chance, and Jonghyun and Key seemed to get along very well. Key and Jonghyun didn’t hang out very much during school hours due to their varying social circles, but they did continue to text every single night.
The cousins experienced the school’s very first pep assembly by their third week of school.

“You’ve done it before?” Jonghyun asked curiously.
“Why, yes. Of course,” Key nodded, unashamed. He lit up a blunt, took a huff and blew out a cloud. He then closed his eyes and smiled, “your turn” he handed the blunt to Jonghyun.
“Cheers to my lungs which were never before damaged until this night,” Jonghyun sighed, taking a huff. He quickly blew the smoke out and passed the blunt to Taemin. After just a single lung-full, Jonghyun felt dizzy, but in a good way, “Take it slow,” he advised his younger coisin with a cough. Taemin nodded and stuck the small roll up to his mouth. Jonghyun looked pained as he watched the blunt touch Taemin’s once-so-innocent lips, but then he told himself to just accept the fact that his cousin was growing up. Jonghyun trusted that Taemin wouldn’t take it too far anyways.
Taemin blew out a pretty puff of smoke and Key applauded him for taking it like a pro. Key wasn’t sure about letting Taemin do what he was letting Taemin do, and so they just stood in the kitchen passing one small blunt around until the it fully kicked in.
“You guys feelin’ it yet?” Key asked. Jonghyun opened his eyes wide and began shaking his hair away from his face.
“I believe so,” Jonghyun grinned. Just then, a guy with a cute face started walking around the kitchen, holding up a camera and then stopping at Key.
“KEY! Suuuup,” the boy said.
“Yo, Henry. Suuuup,” Key imitated. The boy pointed his camera to his self and started talking.
“Guess who I spotted, guys? It’s the almighty party rocking king himself,” The guy said, before proceeding to point the camera back at Key, “Say hi,”
“Yeee, what’s up?” Key flashed a peace sign, “What’s this even for, man?”
“Nothing man, just documenting the days of my life, you know? Who are your new friends, by the ways?” Henry asked. Key introduced the cousins and they waved to the camera.
“Are you posting this up on facebook to ruin my reputation?” Key laughed, taking the blunt as Jonghyun passed it to him. Key took a long drag.
“Definitely,” The camera-guy grinned. Key blew the smoke to the camera and made a lop-sided shape with his mouth (the right side of his top lip sticking up).
“I’m not bad though,” he stated, “I’m hella good,” Key gave the camera-man a cocky grin. Henry laughed for a second, but then the girl who Taemin and Jonghyun previously met, Amber, jumped on the camera guy and convinced him to follow her as she enthusiastically started to host his little video.
“Shall we?” Key motioned to the living room as the blunt that they were passing got too small and was abandoned in a little ash-tray. Taemin lifted his foot to follow but then stumbled sideways and started laughing.
“Let’s do this!” Taemin exclaimed, raising his fists up. Jonghyun and Key just laughed at the younger and they proceeded to the living room. Each being high as a cloud, they all moved in a way that was both sluggish and energetic. The music got dirtier and faster paced and everybody in the house danced in one sweaty circle.
Key was relieved that nobody stank too badly because everybody was touching and bumping on everybody. He wasn’t high enough to have the ability to ignore how gross the sweat of others was, but he shrugged it off knowing that he wouldn’t mind it by the end of the night. Onew (who stuck to his previous words and let loose at this party) appeared next to Key with a bong in his hand and Key gladly took it with a wide smile. They jumped around until Key spotted Nicole’s grinding train. Key laughed at how many girls were participating (grinding at perfect rhythm) and how many guys were watching with lustful stares. Key, being who he was, decided to mess around and show the girls that they weren’t the only ones who knew how to ‘back it up’. He gathered his usual group of friends (Onew, Minho, Dongwoon, Jinwoon and even Taemin and Jonghyun) and told them what to do. They were all either stoned or drunk as fuck, so they agreed. Key instructed everyone to get out of his way and he looked at Nicole (who was leading the train) with a smirk. She laughed, knowing exactly what was about to happen. The order was, Taemin (being the best dancer) at the front, and then Minho, Onew, Key, Jonghyun, Dongwoon and Jinwoon. They started imitating the girls, and everyone cheered them on...and then things got kind of weird.
Since the girls were being sultry at their best, the boys began doing that too. It became a challenge. As the girls started getting touchy with one another, the boys did too. It started with Minho. Taemin was both drunk and stoned, so he was rolling his body and dancing the best he could. There was no doubt that he knew what he was doing, even though he didn’t really know what was going on. Taemin was actually just expertly imitating Nicole, amusing the girl to no end. Taemin was bent forward slightly, rolling his hips to the rhythm of the music. Minho was very drunk so at this point, anything was sexy. He found himself moving closer to Taemin let one of his hands rest on the other sophomore’s waist. Taemin barely felt anything, all he knew was that he was dancing and he liked it. Onew had no idea what the hell he was doing. He didn’t even know how to grind but he was able to follow along with all the dancers around him. Since Minho was too preoccupied with Taemin to do his howl, Onew did it for him.
Key was having a grand time, managing to look perfect while grinding and getting grinded on. Jonghyun wasn’t going to let Key do better than him, so he attempted to do everything perfectly too. Key caught on to Jonghyun’s challenge and smirked; his body rolls getting more and more suggestive. It somehow became a competition on who would be the best at grinding between Jonghyun and Key, and if Jonghyun’s mind wasn’t hovering a few feet above his head, he would have laughed at how ridiculous it was. But then Key got a little too close to Jonghyun and Jonghyun let out a groan that was a little too sexy for Key. Both boys getting a bit too excited, Key’s main goal suddenly became to see how far he could push the boy behind him. Key straightened from his bent-over position, and backed up towards Jonghyun. Once he got close enough, he arched his back and stuck his ass straight to Jonghyun’s crotch. Jonghyun let out another strained groan and proceeded to lean back also. Key threw an arm back to run his fingers through Jonghyun’s hair and Jonghyun found himself resting his own hand lightly on Key’s hips. Everyone laughed, assuming that Key and Jonghyun were imitating the two girls that looked like they were practically having sex on the dance floor (for the amusement of all the horny, testosterone filled high school boys that were watching).
Onew caught on to Jonghyun and Key’s actions and started to lean back too. Eventually, all the other guys in the train were leaning back. Dongwoon and Jinwoon got too excited and both fell backwards, causing the whole group to fall. The crowd watching began laughing and cheering. The song ended and the grinding trains broke apart, and as the boys stood up from the ground, Key and Jonghyun exchanged a short confused and slightly longing gaze. Key shook his head and walked away. When everyone was up, the dancing pit was restored, and it was once again a sweaty mess.
Jonghyun looked towards Key’s direction. Key was standing next to Nicole and she was squishing his face.
“Come on, hyung!” Taemin called, dragging Jonghyun further into the crowd. Jonghyun lost sight of Key, but then he decided that it was probably for the better. He danced with Taemin for a while before he managed to ask himself…“What the fuck just happened?
*****
The night settled in, and nobody in the house made a move to leave. The lewd dancing continued, but people were more preoccupied playing monopoly and finishing what was left of the obviously illegal amount of marijuana in the kitchen. Jonghyun, Taemin and Onew sat down in a circle next to the couches to play a rather racy game of ‘truth or dare’ with a bunch of strangers. Some of the strangers included who Taemin recognized to be Jessica Jung, Amber and the guy who the cousins met earlier, Henry. Jessica spun a beer bottle, laid at the middle of the circle, and it landed on Amber. The masculine girl mumbled curses under her breath. From Taemin’s observations, this Jessica girl really liked to get freaky with her truths and dares.
“Amber-ah, truth or dare?” Jessica asked, raising an eyebrow.
“Uh…truth,” Amber looked unsure. Taemin was sure that either answer would have led to something terrible anyways.
“Okay! Amber-ah, I know you used to have a thing for my little sister, Krystal. Ever had a wet dream about her?” Jessica grinned, “I’m honestly curious,”
“Fuck you, Jess. And yeah, the answer is yes, does that answer please you?” Amber retaliated, cheeks burning red (though, it could have just been the alcohol). Jessica burst out laughing and the crowd went “ooooh”
“Yes, yes, that does please me,” Jessica said, her words framed with her high pitched laughter, “Oh my goodness, I’m so using this against you,” Amber got up for her turn to spin the bottle, and when she did, it landed on Jonghyun.
“Oh, Jonghyunnie, my twin,” She smiled, “Truth or dare?” Jonghyun’s eyes widened in surprise, not expecting the bottle to ever land on him.
“Uh…dare?” Jonghyun answered, hesitant.
“You sure? Ah, you don’t know what you’re asking for, handsome,” Amber smiled wider, “I don’t know you too well, so I’ll start light. Remove all visible clothing and roll me one in the kitchen, please,” Everyone laughed at her ridiculous request, and Jonghyun found his self, half-smiling in amusement. Compared to the previous dares, this one may have been embarrassing, but it was definitely not the worse she could have done. With that, Jonghyun slowly began removing his clothes, earning whistles and cheers from the crowd who for the most part, didn’t even know him. When all visible clothing was removed, he got up and walked to the kitchen in his boxers. More whistles and cheers were earned, and he proceeded to roll a joint for Amber. Jonghyun borrowed a lighter from one of the bystanders and smoked the said joint as he walked back to the circle. Key happened to have joined the game once Jonghyun had returned. If Jonghyun wasn’t so baked, maybe he would have noticed that the gaze that Key was sending him lasted a little too long and scanned over his entire body. Key snapped himself out of whatever thoughts were swimming in his mind and began laughing at Jonghyun. Jonghyun just grinned back and passed his blunt to Amber.
“Why, thank-yah,” Amber accepted, “go ‘head; spin that bottle,” she motioned. Jonghyun reached for the bottle. It spun and landed on a guy that Jonghyun’s never met before.
“Umm…go kiss someone in the kitchen on their mouth and shout ‘YOLO’” Jonghyun nearly giggled.
“Oh, what the fuck,” The guy sighed and followed through. Everyone was in hysterics, but with the haze of marijuana smoke surrounding them; it wasn’t very hard to find everything funny. Nicole kissed Key goodbye, as she announced that she had other responsibilities to tend to. The party continued and as the game went on, more clothing came off.
They weren’t sure how they got there, but at 12:06pm that night, Key, Jonghyun and Taemin found themselves lying down on the stairs staring at the ceiling where they swore they saw constellations. Jonghyun had just finished checking in with his mother, doing his best to sound as sober as he was capable of. He settled on ‘the less words spoken, the better,’ and since Jonghyun’s mother wasn’t one to pry too much, it worked out fine.
“Hyung, why do you call yourselves ‘higher society’?” Taemin asked out of the blue, somehow finding a comfortable position as he laid down on the staircase. Key looked at the boy from his spot where his head rested on Jonghyun’s lap.
“That’s an excellent question, my dear. Many people think we’re cocky bastards, naming ourselves ‘Higher Society’, but in actuality, our name really only means one thing: we’re just like regular society…” Key paused, “except a little higher,” he emphasized with an inebriated laugh. Taemin thought about Key’s answer for a second, and then joined Key’s giggle-fit once he realized the pun. Jonghyun smiled hazily at Key’s head, which shook side to side in laughter on his lap. Higher, get it?
