The party is loud, neon lights spilling through the so called freshers party, and the bass thumping like someone’s heart is trying to escape. YN and Riki were on the balcony because both of them were equally tipsy and trying to “touch fresh air” as they said.
Riki was slumped on the railing, head tilted back, cheeks flushed red, eyes half-lidded, giggling over absolutely nothing.
YN poked his cheek.
“Rikiiii"
"Hm?"
"....you’re drunk.”
He squinted, opening his mouth like a goldfish before. “You’re drunk too.”
“Yeah but I handle it better,” YN said, immediately tripping over the Oxalis triangularis pot.
Riki catched her arm, pulling her into his hoodie, laughing into her hair.
“Sure you do.”
There’s a moment. A soft, quiet one. His breath warm on YN’s forehead, the world spinning but *just them* staying still.
She whispered, “Why do you always catch me?”
Riki looks down at them, eyes glossy but suddenly serious.
“Because I always will.”
YN snorts. “Ew, cheesy.”
“I’m drunk, let me be romantic,” he muttered.
And then he blurted it out. Loud. Too loud.
“—I LIKE YOU.”
Everything freezed
Even YN’s brain stops buffering.
“…huh?”
Riki’s eyes widen. “WAIT NO— I mean yes— but no— I MEAN I DO LIKE YOU BUT I WAS GONNA SAY IT IN A COOL WAY—”
“You like me?” YN echoed, blinking.
Riki covered his face with his hands. “God… I hate alcohol—”
But YN gently tugged his hands away, slipping from his lap every second
“It’s okay,” YN whispered. “Because I like you too.”
Riki stares. Holding her as she slipped pulling her back again.
“…like LIKE?”
“LIKE like.”
He blinks again, then breaks into the biggest, dorkiest smile.
“That’s crazy. That’s actually insane. We’re insane.” He laughed breathlessly. “We’re gonna wake up tomorrow and think this was a dream.”
YN leaned on his shoulder. “If it is, promise you’ll say it again?”
Riki wraped an arm around her waist, pulling them close.
“Promise. Even sober.”
And then—both of them still dizzy, still giggly, still warm— rest their foreheads together.
“Best friends?” YN whispers.
Riki shook his head softly, brushing the tip of his nose against hers.
“Yes but… something a lot more now.”
