Joshua was glad Hansol was leaving—because he was planning on staying, and practicing. He took his guitar out of its case and made sure it was still tuned.

Deeming it good enough to play, Joshua took his pick and strummed the strings.

He was halfway done with his song when there was a knock on the hotel door.

"Joshua-ah, it's Soonyoung," said the person on the other side.

Joshua set down his guitar and went to open the door.

"Were you headed anywhere?" Soonyoung said once the door opened.

"No, I don't really feel like doing anything right now," Joshua replied.

"Then come to the spa with me—you won't have to do anything, just relax," Soonyoung suggested.

"Thanks for the offer Soonyoung, but I'm fine, really."

"Come on Joshua," Soonyoung begged, "you need to stop overworking yourself."

Joshua sighed. He didn't know Soonyoung very well, but he knew that he was stubborn. "Fine, just let me change…"

"Yay!" Soonyoung let out.

The spa was quiet when they arrived, and Joshua had to admit, just from walking into the room, he felt relaxed.

There were three massage beds inside the small, dimly lit room, one of which was occupied by another guy. Joshua had to stop for a second and appreciate the sight he was seeing. It was a hot back.

Joshua laid face down in the massage bed next to the other boy.

Soonyoung wiggled his eyebrows at Joshua—although Joshua didn't understand why—and laid down in the last empty bed.

Not too long after they were seated, soothing music began to play. There were few other noises to be heard.

The lights dimmed even more and Joshua felt delicate hands begin massaging his back.

"Relax," one of the women said in a soft voice, "clear your mind."

He took a deep breath and the scent of lavender filled his lungs.

Hansol was almost sure he wasn't going to be able to move by the time the massage was finished—he might just have to spend the night at the spa.

The hands at his back were moving expertly, massaging all of his sore spots, and he might've let slip a moan or two, much to his embarrassment.

After what felt like hours, the hands on his back stopped. "What was your name again, dear?"

"Hansol," he replied as he sat up.

There were two other guys sitting next to him—one whom he assumed was Soonyoung if the blue hair was any indication.

"Hey Hansol," Soonyoung said, lifting up his head.

Hansol waved a hand. "Hey."

"Joshua-ah aren't you going to say hi?"

Hansol froze. Joshua had been lying next to him the whole time?

Joshua slowly lifted his head and propped his chin on his hands. "I think I'm going to stay a bit more, Soonyoung, you go ahead," Joshua said, completely ignoring Hansol.

Soonyoung looked to Hansol and gave a shrug as if to say, I'm sorry.

Hansol returned with a small nod.

"I'm going to the sauna," Soonyoung said.

"I'll join," Hansol said.

They collected their things and headed for the sauna.

Soonyoung and Hansol sat on wooden steps inside the sauna across from each other, which other than them was thankfully empty.

Soonyoung frowned. "Things really are messed up between you two then…"

"And the worst part is that I don't even know why," Hansol said. He had no idea why he was rambling off to someone he barely knew—but he was sure it had to do with something in his head telling him that he could trust Soonyoung.

Soonyoung moved closer to Hansol. "Don't worry Hansol, things will get better."

Hansol shot up from his seat. "That's what everyone keeps saying, I'm tired of hearing it! I don't want things to eventually get better! I can't stand the fact that Joshua hates me and more so the fact that I don't even know why!" Hansol could feel the tears pooling in his eyes. "For the first time in my life I actually thought that I was growing genuine feelings for someone, and then I fucked everything up."

Soonyoung wrapped his arms around Hansol. "I'm sorry Hansol, I didn't realize it was this bad."

"Soonyoung, I feel horrible, I never meant for any of it to happen." The tears began falling down his cheek.

Soonyoung rubbed soothing circles into Hansol's back. "Then tell Joshua that, don't just tell him you're sorry, show him." Soonyoung detached himself from Hansol and wiped his tears. "Now stop wasting time, go."

Joshua wasn't in the room when Hansol got there, so he took a seat on the armchair and waited, occasionally checking his phone for any notifications.

There was no sign of Joshua for the next half hour. Hansol wondered where he'd gone.

He dialed Soonyoung thinking that maybe he'd seen Joshua.

"Hey Hansol, now's not really a good time—put that down," Soonyoung said when he picked up the phone, followed by someone in the background childishly yelling "No!"

"What's going on?" Hansol asked.

"Nothing to worry about—Joshua!"

That got Hansol's attention. "What's happening Soonyoung?"

"Don't worry about it—I have to go, bye." The line went dead.

"Soonyoung!" Hansol yelled at no one.

He picked up the pamphlet the map of the hotel and looked for all of the bars—Hansol had put two and two together.

There were two in the west wing and one in the east wing, Hansol headed for the west wing first.

The first bar he went to there was no sign of Soonyoung and Joshua. The second one, however...

"What the hell?" Hansol practically yelled once he saw what was happening.

Jun and Joshua were dancing on the tables while Chan, Soonyoung, and Minghao were trying to get them to get down.

Soonyoung's head snapped towards Hansol. "Hansol! What are you doing here?"

"I want to know what the hell is going on," Hansol replied.

"Can't you see what's going on?" Minghao said, eyes still on his boyfriend. "Jun, get down!"

Hansol moved towards Soonyoung and Minghao. "I can see what's happening now, I want to know what happed that led to this."

"Let's focus on helping them down first," Soonyoung said, "then we'll explain everything—but since you're here, help."

Hansol nodded. That would have to do for now.

"Joshua get down from there," Hansol said.

"Oh, no, Chwe Hansol is telling me to get down so I have to obey—bullshit!" Joshua said and kept walking on top of the bar.

"You know what," Hansol said. He pushed himself on top of the bar and went after Joshua. Joshua noticed that he was being followed and walked faster.

"Joshua get back here!"

"You can't catch me!" Joshua teased in a singsong voice. He was wrong, however.

Hansol wrapped his arms around Joshua's waist and lifted him up, careful not to let his head hit the ceiling. Hansol would've enjoyed the feeling of having his arms wrapped around Joshua but with the current circumstances, he wasn't.

"Let go of me," Joshua whined.

"Only if you promise to get down," Hansol said into his ear.

Joshua didn't reply.

"Promise, Joshua," Hansol said.

"I promise, geez, you sound like Jeonghan."

Hansol let go of Joshua and they both got down from the bar, Hansol lending Joshua a hand.

Soonyoung and Minghao had managed to get Jun down, who was resting his head on his boyfriend's shoulder sleepily.

"Let's get these guys to bed," Soonyoung said.

Hansol nodded and the five of them headed to their rooms.

Minghao and Jun stopped at the second floor and Soonyoung accompanied Hansol and Joshua to their room.

Hansol laid Joshua on the bed and slipped back outside to talk to Soonyoung.

"Now do you want to tell me what happened?" Hansol asked

"Turns out Joshua and Jun are lightweights," Soonyoung said.

"That doesn't explain how both of them ended up drunk, standing on top of the bar," Hansol said.

"From what Minghao said, him and Jun were at the bar and they saw Joshua by himself," Soonyoung said. "By the time I got there, Jun and Joshua had had a little too much to drink."

"Did he say anything? A-about me?"

"Not really… I'm sorry Hansol."

"You don't have anything to be sorry for," Hansol said. "Well, I'm gonna go take care of him."

"Okay, I'll see you later Hansol."

"See you."
