He isn't comfortable, not one bit. He is standing there in the middle of the room, trying to act busy by looking curiously over the crowd-as if he was looking for someone, but he wasn't really searching for anyone, even if this is a place to find your old friends. Your buddies who you had to split ways with. Besides, when he first walked in, he found the person who he probably only would care about, if he allowed himself. That was an old fling, it doesn't mean anything.
Or so he tells himself.
He originally came here earlier hoping to find the other. Expecting the other was a gorgeous as ever, before he even lied eyes on his old lover. He was right though. Beautiful. As ever. He was hoping the other would be alone and maybe they could get together sometime. What he didn't expect though, was the other to show up with a man on their arm.
The man seemed far from flamboyant, so that didn't give anything off. He didn't seep of glam, and he most certainly didn't have a gay accent so that wasn't the giveaway. The man and him didn't touch intimately so there really was no indication the other swung that way, but you could just... just tell.
Wether the two were together, he didn't know. Not until they leaned in and shared a kiss and he felt his hope go down the drain. What was the point of being here, then? He had asked himself continuously, but, hey, its better than being home. Alone. In the dimly lit living room.
So he stayed here, in the hustle and bustle of people catching up. Old friends laughing, congratulations on marriages, on children, on house, cars, well-paying jobs, fun nights outs, even. No one really paid him mind, and he just listened to the loud chatter, catching bits and pieces and trying to put two and two together from what he heard, but it was hard so he stayed with the fragments.
It took his a while before he noticed someone was talking to him, so he turned around. He was shocked to see that gorgeous face, smiling right at him. "Oh, ummm... h-hey." The younger looking man cocked his head to the side;his perfect-looking hair fell in his face. "Don't tell me something happened after all these years that makes it so you don't have a big mouth, anymore." The older man made an offended face and the younger just smiled again. "So, how old are you now, Jonghyun?" The older man looked to the floor. "Twenty-eight, now."
"I'm kidding, I already knew. So... do you know how old I am?" Jonghyun looked at what seemed to be flawless skin. "Twenty-six." The man beamed. "You're right!" There was a silence afterwards and the younger man just looked at Jonghyun, studying the man. "You look nice, Kibum."
The said man's lips turned up slightly but he quickly hid it with a straight face. "You have bags under your eyes." Jonghyun nodded and looked to the floor. "It's what happens when you can't sleep at night." There is another moment of silence and the shorter man shifts from foot to foot wondering where the hell this guy's boyfriend is.
"Why can't you sleep," the younger asks kind of quietly as if he doesn't want to voice it, and Jonghyun knows that Kibum probably knows the answer and doesn't want to hear it. "It's weird... you get so used to having a body next to you at night... then suddenly it's gone... and you can't sleep without a body. So you invite someone over, and you think its not the same, so you close your eyes and use your imagination... but you find out, the older you get, the harder it is to use your imagination."
The younger nods. "I brought something... in case I ran into you." The older man nods and fights the urge to smile, because hey, he was thinking of him.
"I have to go... my boyfriend is waiting in the car, so, I'll show you it, but, even if you want it back, you can't have it." Jonghyun looks puzzled but he feels a soft smile come to his face as he sees his ring on the man's finger. "What does your boyfriend think of it?" "He thinks it is sweet I'm keeping hold of something my dead friend gave me." The two share a laugh before the younger walks forward and hurriedly pecks him on the cheek.
He smiles and watches as the younger walks away, feeling a tingle go down his spine. "Hey," the younger says as he turns around while still slowly walking back. "Yeah, Kibum?" The younger man smiles softly-no, sadly. "I use concealer, it hides the circles real well. Try it."
