Just when Dae-hyun thought this day couldn't possibly be shaping up to be any worse, he heard a familiar voice calling his name from across the room.
Against his better judgement, he turned. It was half reflex, half curiosity--- poorly thought through curiosity, at that. If he'd just thought it through a little more, it might have occurred to him to ignore it, and play it off like they'd been mistaken or something. Even Min-jun wasn't tactless enough to randomly go and grab someone in the crowd to confirm their identity, right?
But he did turn, and what he saw made the pit of his stomach sink like a stone. Min-jun, with Do-yun in tow, making a beeline for him.
"You invited my
entire group?" Dae-hyun hissed.
"Huh? No, I just called Yo-han hyung here," said Dong-hyun. The confusion on his face looked genuine, and... Dae-hyun knew his brother. Dong-hyun wasn't the type to lie. Dae-hyun hadn't even realized he'd been holding onto that last thread of hope until it fizzled out right in front of him. So it really was just Min-jun and Do-yun, together on one of their days off.
"Guess they came too, huh?" said Yo-han. He seemed surprised too, but only mildly, and took it in stride as he turned to face them. "Hyung. Fancy seeing you here." He arched a brow at Do-yun, probably because of just how out of place
Do-yun looked at a party. Probably wondering how Min-jun got him to come.
And Dae-hyun was trying pretty hard to think about almost anything else.
