Pursuit of Happiness - Kid Cudi [Nightmare] feat, MGMT and Ratatat

A celebration for the new year.

That's what this is, so they say. In reality it's just a place a bunch of rowdy dogs plays together in one room, with a command ready to just tear each other to pieces if someone pisses them off.

So relatable.

Well that's how Soobin felt like at least.

When he arrived with his Phoenix crew through the elegant double doors of the ball room, he could feel himself be ready by Yeosang's command to just explode.

It's easy really, not much effort for him to slice someone's head off if his leader tells him to, but he's more relaxed with an equal expression of unbothersome that many people found quite intimidating.

No matter how young he may appear to be.

The second he stepped foot here, he went his own route. He avoided his family at all cost as he goes to the bathroom and into one of the stalls, not wasting time in taking out a bag of the familiar white dust before taking out a small scoop from inside, brining it to his nose and snorts it all down.

A small scoop is all he needs to relax really, nothing more than that.

Some old habits die hard, his just so happens to be his coke addiction. Well he does it whenever there's special occasions to let loose, like now, so he wouldn't call that an addiction, maybe a little push to not be on the edge.

But he sure loves the feeling that came along with it.

An abrupt bang slams against his stall so suddenly, making him annoyedly glare at it before zipping up the bag and tuck it in the inside of his blazer before opening the door.

Wooyoung is standing there, expectant eyes staring at the other male as though he saw right through the door what he was doing.

"Snorting it up without company?"

"Knowing your ass, you'll snort up the whole bag," He huffs and shoulder bumps past him, "Why are you on my ass and not out there kissing someone else's?"

The ravenette snickers as Soobin stands in front of the sinks, looking at himself while adjusting his attire.

"You know I don't like social settings," He remarks, crossing his arms over his chest with a small smile, "So..... Can I snort-"

"No," And Soobin walks out the bathroom, right when Ten was about to step inside. He smiles brightly to Soobin, despite how annoyed the other male looks, and skips inside to squeal when he sees Wooyoung.

"Dude this knife you gave me is super light but so sharp, I love it!"

This is what Wooyoung loves, when someone tells him his invention works.

It's the best compliment he could ever ask for.

The younger of the two beams and raised a hand to pinch the psychotic man's cheek, "So glad you do, specially made for you."

Ten is bouncing between his feet, his smile so bright as he turns to look at himself in the mirror to only be met with his maddening chaotic eyes while he adjusts his hair with a manicured hand, "So, you and Felix any better?"

Yeah, you thought it was just Woosung and Ten with the relationship problems? Well exiting out Taemin and Yeosang too? Well let's just say everyone in Phoenix crew at one point had a little giddiness for one another.

Soobin be acting as though his heart is made of steal, but when he's around Hwanwoong he can never keep his cool. It's a platonic relationship obviously, but Soobin will never admit to how he feels for the other male, or will Hwanwoong admit to the same either.

As for Felix and Wooyoung? Well, they're in the crushing stages. They're too shy to admit their feelings for one another so that's why they always like to be together when it comes to their jobs, since it avoids emotional conversations.

Ten knows everything.

He may be a guy with no filter, but he knows how to keep petty secrets.

No matter how dark they can get.

His smile widens when he sees Wooyoung start to blush, shaking his head now, "I don't know..... He's so cute I just want to squish him!"

"Oh he feels the same way trust me," Ten waves off as he continues to adjust the collar of his button up shirt, "Maybe tonight you'll get lucky."

Wooyoung was going to say something back but never did when the bathroom door suddenly open again, this time with a familiar face.

Ten's gaze met with the familiar pair of eyes through the mirror, his smile dropping instantly in discomfort.

Of course Woosung would take this chance here, at a party, to want to have a conversation.

They have to talk after all.

Wooyoung instantly sensed the tension and chuckles breathlessly, "I'll just leave you guys to talk," And with that he moves past Woosung and goes out the door, all the while Woosung discretely locks the door to make sure no one comes inside.

Ten didn't notice since his only focus was on himself, trying not to let his body tense up by the feeling of the warm body closing in behind him. He didn't want to, but his eyes flickered on their own to the the reflection to his boyfriend.

He's still pissed, and Woosung's little tender gaze was definitely not going to work this time around.

"Are you just going to continue to avoid me?"

Ten didn't want to say any anything. He wanted to continue being petty and not talk to him until he's done being pissed, but when it comes to Woosung it's hard to do that. Why? Well because it's hard to simply ignore Woosung.

He's such a good person, and Ten knows deep down inside he has nothing to be mad about because he trusts him, but he just wants to be mad!

Fuck!

He can't stand Jeongguk!

At all!

So Ten purses his lips and turns around, crossing his arms over his chest, "So are you going to stop being the boss's little bitch now?"

Woosung sighs heavily, placing his hands on Ten's arm but only got it slapped away by Ten's hands, "You have to understand that at the end of the day, he's still our boss. I have to listen to him. He's married Ten, what we had is in the past and honestly.... I don't care about him anymore. I just want... To fix this."

Ten understands, he's not too thick headed when it comes to who Jeongguk is. However he knows that these two just.... They have or had something special. Yes, Ten is insecure and he admits to it, and he doesn't want that in anyway to make their relationship toxic, but he just knows Woosung is tender hearted for the leader.

And not just as an employer.

So of course Ten was vocal about it, "I'm a mess dude, I really am ok?" The tiredness and fear is clear behind his tone, concealing it by his frustration, "Seeing you be so weak for him pisses me off, a lot. It's like you lose your spine whenever he breathes around you. I get it, you guys had a past and shit hurts, but I'm your present. If I'm not good enough then fucking drop me or figure your feelings out."

And with that Ten shoulder bumps past him to head out the door, but suddenly he's aggressively pulled back and shackled against the counter of the sink. He hisses to the marble hitting his lower spine but immediately hums to the familiar lips of his boyfriend dominating over his.

Ten loves his boyfriend.

He sincerely and crazily loves his boyfriend; How sweet and tender he can be. But also how aggressive and rough his body reacts when the sweet way doesn't work in his favor.

They have their issues, they are building their trust, but one thing for sure is that they're so fucking crazy for each other.

And that's a side no one gets the privilege to see so often.

Suddenly Woosung pulls away and slithers his hand to grip Ten by the jaw, slamming his skull against the mirror.

Ten laughs, he laughs humorously to the way his adrenaline spiked up in a way that had his body tingling excitement.

He's so fucking happy.

"Next time you try to doubt my loyalty towards you, I will fuck with you my gun until I'm satisfied enough. Even if you're overstimulated, understood?"

Woosung's husky and possessive little tone in his voice was like a boost of serotonin in Ten's body, his laughing spiking up while his eyes glittered in wild colors under the dim bathroom lights.

He feeds off this energy.

Almost like an addictive sensation that he hungers for, letting it tingle through every single cell in his body to be so very happy.

He's so fucking happy.

"Why don't you bend me over this sink and give me a little preview, hm?"

Woosung definitely didn't want to break character, but he so badly wanted to laugh along with Ten. They both know he hates being like that with him, since he's just so adored and finds Ten's presence so cute. For him to show this side of himself can only last for so long, and because of his chemistry with Ten with just one moment that their gazes locks he just wants to smile or burst into a giggles.

He fucking loves his crazy boyfriend.

So to not grin, he aggressively slams their lips together one last time with a hungered lip bite to his boyfriend, whirls him around and bends his body over sink. Ten is a giggling mess, especially when Woosung came prepared -as he should- with a lube in his pocket. Ten decided to help him in lowering his pants but instantly got his forehead pressed against the mirror when Woosung's rough fingers dug through his hair to press him down.

"I want you to watch yourself as I remind your stupid ass that I'm only yours, and you're only mine."

They didn't need prepping since Ten loves the pain of stretching open, that didn't stop his shriek when Woosung thrusted inside him while his fingers grip his hair tighter.

So Ten did the best thing suited for this to hide his pain and pleasure; He laughed.

He laughed with tears beaming his eyes as he looks at his own reflection, falling in love with the way his heart is pounding ferociously in his chest and the strikes of sharp pain mixed with pound pleasure flooding his body.

It's a feeling Woosung was only ever able to give to him, the only man. The feeling of being risky to fuck in a public bathroom but also delirious to how alive and thrilling it was.

Woosung always was able to made Ten feel alive, that's why now he doesn't rely to drugs anymore to feel something as before.

He has Woosung to make it feel something close to it.

When he met the medic, Ten was already in Oasis. Not by choice really, he was actually just a dealer because he needed money. To be fair, they only called him when they knew the buyer was full of shit and needed to be taken cared of. He's been doing this for years, met Yeosang along the way and taught the kid how to deal.

However one night a buyer was actually ready, Ten got shit faced beaten up and arrived to the medic shit place for the first time.

There he met him, the love of his life.

And it was like an immediately shot of a arrow from Cupid. Ten was obsessed in seconds to how the male took care of his wounds, and Ten found himself enjoying hearing him talk.

He has a pretty voice.

So Ten, being the romantic person that he's not, literally would pay people to beat him up just so he can see that medic. Within that exchange, he would bring him gifts. So Ten didn't know how to be a cute lover, so he got Woosung an apple and told him there's a cute worm inside that could keep him company if he gets lonely here.

Yeah looking back to that, it was pretty weird.

But Woosung being the heartthrob that he is accepted it, finding it quiet funny actually.

Ten took that the wrong way.

Next time he arrived there after another beating, to which Woosung was now growing concerned as to why he's getting beaten up so often, Ten brought him a basket of multiple apples with worms inside.

And asked him- No, that's not it. He blurted out that he loved him, that they're going to get married and have as many kids as the apples he brought and multiplying it with the worms inside, to then proceed to ask him out.

Anyone would find this either completely weird, odd, or just plain awkward.

Not Woosung.

He found Ten really cute, as in the perky personality and panic type of cute. It was hard to say no to him, but unfortunately he had to.

Ten nearly threw all the apples at him from the basket in a tantrum to the rejection, but Woosung said if he would stop getting beaten up somehow, then he would reconsider.

Immediately Ten recovered after two weeks of not getting beaten up, visited the same location where his dear medic is now healthy and asked about going out.

Woosung found it humorous that Ten still remembered, even more that this time he arrived with a banquet of feathers than roses. They were long feathers, but to be fair it looked as though Ten yanked it off bird himself to make this by how it smelled.

He didn't question it, accepting the offer without hesitation.

Not only did they fuck on the first date and now has lasted more than a year together, the feeling that they felt since day one is still there.

Aside from the apple worms.

They still feel giddy around each other, always looking forward to something new in their relationship or many adventures that they always find doing together.

Meeting each other has been the best thing to ever happen to either of them, and that's something they treasure to this day, despite how sometimes things get so hard.

They always have each other's backs, no matter where they stand.

Ten moans against the mirror as the pressure to his lower region was to uncontrollable to hold in, finally cumming on the floor just as Woosung came inside him with a deep grunt and a sluggish sigh before draping his body onto Ten's.

That was definitely needed to ease out stress for sure.

Meanwhile the smile on Ten's lips is still there, the hiccuping giggles too despite the eyeliner running down his cheeks along with his tears. He doesn't really care about that, only silently adjusting up his pants before turning around to face his boyfriend.

He studies him fondly, his giggles dwindling down to a soft smile as he adjusted Woosung's hair back to how it previously was.

"I love you," Ten whispers, studying his eyes with his heart on his sleeve, "You're the last thing I ever want to lose in this shitty world."

Yeah, he does love this guy a bit too much.

His cute medic.

Woosung's smile mimics his, leaning and brushing their lips against each other's, "I love you more, trust me you make my life better than it was before."

With their smiles they pressed their lips together, into a more softer and delicate kiss that was like a direct line to their hearts.

The moment where they feel powerful and safe, but didn't go unnoticed to the pair of eyes watching them from the door, that was opened from the other side by a person who clearly had a key.

They didn't notice the tears in this person's gaze as he quietly closes the door, not wanting to show that he was ever there to begin with.

Guess Woosung was a liar.

Jimin wasn't his boyfriend.

Jeongguk wipes his eyes to remove the tender gazes the two shared in that bathroom form his memory, gathering his composure and moving back out to the ballroom.

Taehyung is greeting with the guests so he didn't see his husband's state, who grabbed two champagne glasses from a walking waiter and chugs them down without a stop.

And unfortunately for him, someone noticed.

"Leaving some for the guest wouldn't hurt."

The familiar voice made Jeongguk turn his head, meeting the eyes of the familiar woman with the perked smile to the sight of him.

Out of all people, Jeongguk is glad it was Lisa who saw him instead of his sons. Lisa is his little safe box, so he's not afraid to show more emotions when it comes to her.

After all, she is family.

"Well I need it more," Jeongguk snickers and brings her to his arms for a hug, trying to keep himself together and not overly compliment how beautiful she looks wearing the black dress that matches with her hair

Oh the times Jeongguk use to be an overly protective brother towards Lisa while growing up, especially since people just loved to hit on her.

His sister is beautiful, so the attention wasn't a shocker, but he hated how men had the audacity to think it was okay to even try anything on her.

That's until she began to train and well, she didn't need protecting anymore.

They're still as close as it is, a little more distant just because of business.

Fortunately they're able to be reunited for this occasion after all.

"Clearly," Lisa snickers and looks around, observing the people and music playing in the background, "People seem to be enjoying how this resembles more of a club rather than a boring gala."

The celebration this year as more of a modern touch to it than old school. Clearly this was Hwanwoong's idea since they did leave him in charge of the preparations and it was a success, people seem to be enjoying themselves more as they prepare for the new year.

Makes avoiding people easier as they dance to the music.

Sure, Jeongguk is the big boss of a big mafia, whatever, but he gets tired of people too easily. So unlike Taehyung who likes to entertain a crowd and converse for the sake of their reputation, but if it were for Jeongguk he would have other plans to do with his husband when the clock strikes midnight than be here.

Whatever, not like he can't do that later on tonight either way

"All thanks to my son- Well speaking of the devil."

His two sons approached him from the crowd of people. They have champagne glasses on their hands but gives one to Lisa and Jeongguk for a toast.

They clint their glasses to just getting through the night without a headache, to which they knew would be a mission impossible by how things are going now.

"How's the puking angel?"

Yeosang instantly knew who his father was referring to upon hearing that, nodding his head across the room, "With Felix and Taemin. Woosung disappeared for a bit so the two are looking after him, not like they like parties either way. "

The mere mention of Woosung was enough for Jeongguk to get another glass and chug it all down, exusing himself to get something more stronger for the night after the shit he saw. No one questioned it, and just kept doing their own thing.

The night has flew by in a haze.

People were getting so messed up with whatever was in their bodies, the music feels like it's blaring everyone's ears yet injected steroids to make it feel pumped up.

Jimin wasn't doing anything.

He refused to drink.

Refused to even smoke from Felix's vape pen, only just observed the crowd with a monotone expression. Yeosang has noticed this throughout the night how closed off Jimin has became ever since he came out that room, and that alone is a bit worrisome.

Not only was his memories once blocked but now it looks like his spirits is also as well.

As much as Yeosang is relieved that Jimin isn't causing trouble, he's also growing nostalgic. Jimin use to adore these scenes of getting hyped up with the party, now he's so distinct to them in refusal to even participate. Taehyung did say that he needs time to process but..... Yeosang just hopes this didn't crush his spirit completely along the way.

Midnight is approaching soon, Yeosang has managed to avoid people from wanting to deal with the Spawn -Since he's not about that life anymore- He has spent his night drinking and speaking with Lisa. The girl has told him it's safe to go back to the penthouse whenever he's ready, with more security outside the building just in case.

Yeosang was considering it at first but.... Maybe not yet. Jimin needs to be here first for a while where he can get Phoenix's protection, but is him being so close to this world even going to help him recover at all?

From how he is now?

Maybe he needs his space from everything for a while. If anything Woosung could visit for regular check ups or one of the members could also stay with them and rotate.

He didn't want to give that responsibility to his members so he's probably going to have to talk to them about it first, to which they wouldn't mind discussing things that their leader brings up out of respect.

One would assume Jimin is standing alone against the wall as he watches people dance on the floor, but he has every member of Phoenix watching over his from various angles, making sure he's okay. Jimin didn't seem to care really, just watched quietly, making it feel like a twisting nerve to Yeosang by how bored he looks.

Alright, maybe he just doesn't want to be in a public space anymore.

That can be rearranged.

So Yeosang excuses himself from Lisa and pushes himself through the crowd, not caring who it was really until he's finally standing in front of the handsome male. Jimin didn't react at first to him but then slowly blinks his eyes towards him, expression still monotone and filled with nothing.

Even that spark of smugness is gone.

"Jimin, let's go back to the penthouse for tonight," Yeosang tells him, reaching over to gently take his wrist, "Being around here isn't making you feel any better."

Jimin didn't fight him back as Yeosang guides him away from the large ballroom and to the exit, not bothering saying any departing wishes as fifteen minutes are left on the clock for midnight.

Right now Jimin just needs to be somewhere with space and familiar. Somewhere that wasn't so chaotic as the warehouse and constantly have triggers everywhere with the guns and medication.

And hopefully Jimin can call him a jerk at least once.

It was worse enough that he wasn't even saying anything as Yeosang takes them to a car, piling inside quietly as Yeosang starts the engine but then he stops. He takes a moment or two to gather his thoughts before facing Jimin.

The other male is only looking ahead, fingers digging the side of his temple to keep himself up.

"You know you can speak around me Jimin," Yeosang say as quietly, not judging a single muscle in Jimin's body, "I'm not my fathers, so if there's somewhere you want to go that'll make this easier, please let me know."

If only Yeosang could take a glimpse of Jimin's head, this would make everything so much more easier.

In reality, the first place Jimin thought about was the dorm. Yeosang can easily get inside without a problem, but Jimin at the same time didn't want to face the memories that stored in there.

How different he was from when he left to now, to all the guys he's fucked on his bed or couch or kitchen, making him feel a shiver of disgust to the thought of it being somewhere that Joshua also stayed in.

He didn't like the idea of being there alone with Yeosang, that's not their safe place.

So quietly he just says, "The penthouse."

After all, Yeosang still and will continue to make him feel safe.

No matter how fucked up Jimin can be, he knows Yeosang doesn't care because at the end of the day, they're all they got.

So going to a place where his nightmare started but where it felt the warmest doesn't sound like the most ridiculous idea out there.

As long as they're together through it, that's all that matters.
