[M] (RICSYUNG) FATE (1/1)

It was going to be the best weekend ever - Eric, numerous best friends, and Ibiza. He had earned this vacation after the stressful final exams. He had even earned the money himself with hard work. He was a diligent person. Ibiza had been decided in the last minute. It was the place of youth, partying, and drinking. Just the place Eric had been looking for. His nose had been glued to the books for months, he wanted to relax.Though they were a posse, only two people fit each room. Junjin and Andy took one room, Minwoo and Dongwan took another one, and that left Eric alone. He was okay with that. He didn’t want to cockblock his best friends anyway. He entered his room, left his stuff there, cleaned himself up a little bit and then entered the hallway.“Kangta, come on!” someone yelled. “I want to get to drinking already!”“I’m coming, Hyesung ah,” the blond haired, thin and tall guy yelled after his best friend.Eric stepped out of the way when the angered slender man walked past him, pulling his luggage behind him. “I can’t believe the taxi driver deceived you like that!” he retorted. “You are way too easy to deceive, Kangta ya,” Eric didn’t mean to be rude, but the other guy was very loud. “And now we share a room too.”“I’m sorry, Hyesung ah,” Kangta apologised. “I didn’t expect him to do that to us.”“Yah, what are you looking at?” The slender man suddenly noticed Eric and snapped at him.“Ah, sorry, I didn’t mean to,” Eric apologised. “I was just locking my door.” he turned his back at the two and locked the door of his hotel room. “Enjoy your vacation.” he then bowed at the two Korean guys and walked off.“Enjoy your vacation,” Hyesung imitated the man. “What an asshole,” he whined to his friend.“Hyesung ah, he was being nice,” Kangta argued.“Whatever,” Hyesung unlocked the door. “Put your stuff in. I am perished.”  Eric plodded downstairs where his friends were already waiting. “What took you so long?” Minwoo asked the tall one. “We have been waiting.”“I met the devil himself,” Eric responded. “But that’s not gonna ruin my vacation. He had a really pretty friend and they happen to be residing next to me,” he sang.Dongwan smirked evilly. “Eric, you horny bastard.” he elbowed his best friend. “Are we finally hearing the wedding bells ringing?” the other two, the youngest, laughed at that comment. “What? You never know!” Dongwan defended himself when Minwoo and Eric glared at him.“I think I am just looking for something else,” Eric explained. “Let’s hope we meet them later.”Just as they walked away, Hyesung and Kangta appeared to the lobby. “Fuck, it’s hot,” Hyesung whined, fanning himself. “Why did we choose Ibiza again?” he asked his friend, who just shrugged. “Who cares? I need something to drink. Come,” Kangta walked after his friend to the bar. Hyesung tapped the desk and asked the most refreshing drink possible.Kangta got the same, and thanked the bartender whilst sucking the liquid through the straw. Hyesung finished his immediately and asked for more. “I needed this,” he commented. “I was about to get a headache.” he leaned to his arm. “Kangta ya,” Hyesung set his eyes at the man in front of him. “We came here to get over Minjong, right?” Kangta nodded. “Then we better start. We will find you a man.” Eric jumped to the pool, earning loud applauses from people around him. The other guys had already gotten down there. Junjin was drinking beer, and so was Dongwan and Andy, Minwoo had a cocktail of some sort – it had one of those umbrellas in it. Eric wiped his hair back and swam to his friends. “I haven’t seen him yet,” he said. “It’s like he disappeared completely.”“Don’t lose your hope yet,” Andy said. “This island is big, but you share a wall.” Junjin nodded eagerly. “If you don’t see him now, you will see him later.” Andy smiled. “Let’s just enjoy this moment. If you stop thinking about him, you might accidentally meet him.”“It works in movies,” Junjin added.Everyone nodded at the tall man. Eric sighed. He had been so busy with school that he had not cared about relationships - he had not even looked for anyone. But now he had that eager feeling to find this guy and try. Eric was fortunate enough to have his expert friends with him. He couldn’t do anything without them. He was nothing without them.“Is that him?” Dongwan nodded toward a way.Eric had never turned his head around faster. “No,” he was disappointed. “That was not him.”“I’m sorry,” Dongwan pouted. “HEY! Is that him!?” he yelled almost too loudly.Eric and the others looked toward the way Dongwan was pointing. “No. That’s his friend.” he murmured sadly. “The devil.”“Oh,” Dongwan pouted again. “He fit the profile too.”Eric scoffed, seeing the man order a drink from the bartender. Then Minwoo got a great idea. “If he is the friend, maybe you should go ask him about him.” Dongwan gasped and tapped his friend excitedly. “He can give you his number.” Eric was suspicious. “Do you want to see this guy?” he nodded. “Then go,” All his friends huddled up to shoo their leader, Eric built his courage and climbed out of the pool.“One more beer, please,” he ordered. “Hey, aren’t you my neighbour?” he stumbled in his words.“What?” The slender man looked at him. “Eww, go away,” he wrinkled his nose.“I…I am Eric,” Eric tried. “You accused me of eavesdropping.”“Oh, that guy…” the slender man murmured. “I am Hyesung.”Eric didn’t care, but he pretended to care. “Where is your friend?” he went straight to the point.“Oh, Kangta?” The name was a little disappointment, but Eric let it go. How could it be that a devil like Hyesung had a pretty name like that? “He went to walk around the island…to check the area.” Hyesung explained. “He likes stuff like that.”Eric hummed to answer. His beer appeared in front of him and he sipped it. He didn’t know how to continue. This was getting awkward. Hyesung was staring at him – it wasn’t a normal stare, but something Eric would have called suspicious. “Me and him will watch the performance at the hotel tonight. He loves music,” Hyesung said.“Nice to know,” Eric grabbed the beer with both of his hands and scurried away, cheeks flushing with embarrassed pink.“So, how did it go?” Junjin asked while Andy and the others played with a random ball.“I blew it,” Eric covered his face after he had put the beer down. “Fuck, that was the most awkward thing I have ever done!” he cursed. “He is the worst!”“It’s okay,” Minwoo patted the back. “You will get another chance.”“I hope so.” “Do you want to see the performance downstairs?” Hyesung interrogated Kangta, who lied in the bed. “I can spare you a seat if you want to.” he smiled at the man, who was slightly older.Kangta shook his head. “While I was circling the resort, I saw a beautiful pasta restaurant. I am going to try it out,” he smiled widely. “Maybe afterwards?”Hyesung found it hilarious how much Kangta loved pasta. It had been his go-to meal during university. He had become talented in some of the meals, though some of them seemed rather strange to Hyesung. “See you later,” Hyesung waved at his friend and exited the room.It was some Spanish singer, who performed in the hotel. The show was free for everyone in the hotel, so Hyesung just showed his key and walked straight in. He felt underdressed compared to the people who had come outside the hotel. His oversized shirt and the ripped jeans were considered too relaxed compared to the fancy clothes the natives wore. Hyesung sat down at the very corner and ordered a drink to fit the occasion – wine.“Oh, hi,” Hyesung recognised that voice. He rolled his eyes when Eric appeared from nowhere. “Alone again?” he spoke.“Yeah, Kangta went to a pasta restaurant instead,” Hyesung answered, looking at the other men with the familiar one. “Can you believe him? I had planned this just for him and he abandoned me like this,
