"Here they are!" Seungkwan was delighted to see his friend. He'd hardly seen Seokmin for days, ever since he hooked up with Joshua, and it had been kind of nice. He'd always wanted to spend more time with Hansol but they always had Seokmin around and couldn't really ditch him. He was their best friend. But now he had his own boyfriend they'd even gone out for a mid week movie date and, even thought they'd invited him, he'd declined to hang out at the coffee shop with Joshua instead.

When they walked in to dance class arm in arm Seungkwan could see how happy Seokmin was. His smile was megawatt and spread up to his eyes as he ran forward to greet his friends. Joshua never let his hand slip though, holding right down to the tips of Seokmin's fingers as the other arm escaped to embrace his friends. "Been busy?" Hansol cocked an eyebrow Joshua's way and Seokmin blushed. He nodded and blushed even brighter when Joshua pulled him into a hug.

Seokmin almost forgot to watch for Soonyoung's arrival. This didn't go unnoticed by Seungkwan who was a little surprised things had changed so quickly. But he shrugged it off. For Seokmin, Soonyoung was nothing more than an idealised fantasy, placed up on a pedestal. It was better it keep it that way now he had Joshua who seemed to really like him. But he noticed Seokmin only almost forgot to watch for Soonyoung. When he arrived, swanning into the room like an early summer breeze.

"Hi Joshua," Soonyoung said as he made his way over to speak to the foreign boy. "Hi.. Seokjin.." he said as the smile faded quickly from Seokmin's face. He turned to rummage in his backpack to hide his embarrassment but Joshua wasn't letting it slide. "You seem to have trouble remembering my boyfriend's name," Joshua said as he grabbed Seokmin's arm and pulled him into an embrace. "Surely he's not that forgettable..." Joshua used this exact moment to nuzzle his face into Seokmin's neck making the younger blush pink and giggly, squirming in his arms, Soonyoung looking on in confusion. "So you guys are a thing? That's.... cute," Soonyoung said distractedly as his friends arrived. "Next time we have a party you guys should definitely come again." "We'd love too!" Joshua said brightly as he rested his chin on Seokmin's shoulder.

"Y-you don't have to pretend so hard.." Seokmin whispered when they were alone, stretching their tired limbs still sore from yesterday's lesson. "Don't you like it?" Joshua's eyes were flirty, and distractingly beautiful, Seokmin thought as he stared at them. "I'm just not used to it hyung," Seokmin said as the teacher walked in. "I was serious about never having a boyfriend. I've never even been kissed." Joshua turned to him with a look of complete surprise but the moment was stolen by the dance teacher's loud music and incessant barking of instructions signifying the start of the lesson.

Seokmin danced better than he had in a long time. He focused on the man next to him, watching Joshua's lithe graceful limbs, his sinewy body moving to the beat, and it was far more calming and less distracting than watching Soonyoung. For the first time in a long time, he felt in control of his limbs as he moved around the floor. Finally, when the hour of torture was over and the music stopped Joshua was beside him with a dry towel and a big bottle of water. "You did great today," he said encouragingly as he slung an arm around the sweaty boy. "Ew!" Seokmin screeched loudly at the sensation of their bare sweaty limbs pressed together and when he slipped out of Joshua's embrace to run laughing across the room the older laughed as well as he gave a half-hearted chase.

"They're a cute couple," Minghao said to his friends as he watched the laughing men chasing each other around the room. The American one, slim and handsome, quieter but still lively chasing the younger one, the awkward and loud boy with the happy smile. "I don't know what he sees in him," Soonyoung said nonchalantly. "Joshua seems really cool, and he's older and he's American, and he's hooking up with that loud kid?" He shrugged to himself and continued to dry his sweat off with a towel. "He confessed to me first you know," Soonyoung smirked as he tossed his towel into his backpack. "At your party the other night. I was drunk and, I don't know, bored and he looked kind of good all dressed up." He took a sip from his water bottle before continuing to his enraptured audience. His friends loved to hear about his drunken escapades.

"I tried to come on to him. But he confessed, like full on confessed that he liked me, that he wanted to date me." Soonyoung laughed softly to himself and Chan joined in. "Date you? Doesn't he know you?" Soonyoung shook his head. "I guess not. Anyway I told him I don't fuck around with innocent virgins and he could ask me out again when he had some experience. Next thing I see he's hooking up with the new guy." "So?" Junhui said as he grabbed his bag and they all moved towards the door. "They look pretty happy to me. You might have just missed out." Soonyoung just shrugged. Guys and girls asked him out all the time. It was no loss to him. One less heart to break.
