      James sighed inwardly. For once, he felt his age. He wasn’t that old, nor had he felt like it. However, while standing next to his friend, watching everyone that appeared in their early twenties (or even younger) dancing and drinking, the realization of the age difference had slapped him in the face. He looked from left to right, taking in the size of the room, and the number of people present. “Did they all find someone to get them fake IDs? When I was their age, it was so damn expensive. Maybe they were offered a deal, ‘two for one’,” he said, attempting to laugh at the dry joke. The laugh faded off quickly, and he rolled his shoulders back twice, like he was shaking off an invisible weight. “A drink will relax us... It’s on me, alright? I haven’t seen you in awhile, so let’s just have fun tonight.” He patted the other’s shoulder, giving an encouraging nod. Hearing a shrill giggle from a group walking past, the actor felt like he needed encouragement to stay. “Maybe somewhere else, huh.”

Nina trips over her shoelace, which forced her to stumble into the other as her hand accidentally gliding down their abdomen. “I am so sorry!” She quickly gains her balance again as a faint blush cover her cheeks.

‘faster. run faster or else you’ll lose this chance again!’ her brain said to her. the muscles in her legs were burning as her feet directed her to a familiar looking man in the distance. the sky was dark and gave a gloomy feeling to her surroundings while she ran, the faint stars twinkling in the background as if they were cheering her on. it had been a year or so since she’s seen the man since his gradual disappearance from her life, turning best friends to lost acquaintances. sooyoung wasn’t going to give up the chance to see him again so quickly, even if her feet were going to give up on her at any moment now. “minki oppa!” her voice yelled out to the almost empty street, hoping the man would turn around and it would be him. 

Words cannot begin to describe the shock the young prince feels at seeing a familiar face cross his path. He almost doesn’t believe it to be true. Not until he turns on his heels and races to catch up with the taller male and cutting him off from advancing further. Lips part in surprise as reality catches up on him. Slowly at first before his body is shaking from the overwhelming sensations of past memories flooding his vision. “M-- Min....ki....? I-is that-- you?”

Taeil, in all honesty, didn’t understand what was happening. His mind had gone completely blank. He thought he could handle anything without even flinching, but what had just happened proved him wrong. When he came back to his senses, the first thing he noticed wasn’t the blood dripping from his nose and cheek, it was the stranger’s voice. Such a caring individual, asking him if he was fine even though they’d never seen each other– But what was he talking about? Taeil sniffled and chuckled, “No need to call the police, look, I’m fine!” He struggled to get up. His knees had been injured in the fight as well. “Anyway they’d arrest me… Just give me… Lemonade. That should help.”
