CHAPTER 20

<YANG YU'S P.O.V>

Yoku's hesitance seems to disappear after he's inside the house Yu notices that he seems to stick even closer to Komaki than usual. By the time Karu arrives Yu's noticed a small problem. They all seem prepared to go to a formal kind of thing.

Komaki is wearing a dress shirt, tie and slick black pants although it's quite ruffled by now since he's been running around the house. Yoku us wearing a similar shirt and pants but no tie and the top buttons are undone revealing that he's still wearing one of the black shirts he always has on. May has on a tight grey skirt that stops at her knees and a tight white t-shirts with small frills along the neck. She's obviously wearing makeup and Yu could tell that she was quite uncomfortable with it.

Karu was obviously the worst, he had on a whole grey suit and had his dark brown hair brushed back and held with gel. Yu stared at him for a few seconds in mock horror. He sighed as he put a hand on his hip and used the other one to rub his forehead trying to get rid of the budding headache. He was friends with a bunch of fashion blind people.

After Karu got a good look at the house, Yu dragged them all to his room to make them change. When he was done with them they all looked much better.

Komaki was wearing a bright blue t-shirt and a small metal chain with the word "LYNX'' engraved on a dog-tag. "Everyone in Lynx has the tag, You'll get your name engraved onto it too after you become an official member," Yu explained as he handed identical dog-tags to the others. Yoku's outfit didn't change much, he just unbuttoned his dress shirt to make it look less formal and changed the black slick pants for a pair of much more comfortable looking loose sweatpants. May's outfit changed completely, she was now wearing a pair of acid washed jeans cut off a little under the knees along with a red tank top and a denim jacket that had a rose flower design sewn into the back. After the make up was removed she seemed a lot more comfortable. May gave Yu a weird look when she realised that he had women's clothing. Yu explained that Raya had a terrible dress style in high school so Yu had helped her with a lot of outfits so the clothes were her's.

When Karu changed out of the suit Yu was particularly happy since the suit honestly looked terrible on him. He now wore a plaid shirt that was different shades of dark blues and black over a white t-shirt. He had on black jeggings with holes ripped in the knees. He had on black combat boots, Karu had surprisingly small feet which he was obviously self-conscious about. Yu made sure to keep it in mind for future blackmail. When Karu pulled off his shirt to change it, Yu became painfully aware that karu was VERY muscular. Yu had to leave the room with the excuse of needing some water when he started blushing for some reason. When he came back everyone was wearing their new outfits. For a split second Yu felt almost upset that Karu was wearing a shirt but he shoved the thought aside before it could grow.

Yu was wearing a bright red tank top with a large black treble clef on the front of it, along with navy sweats that he wore when he danced with the other member's of Lynx and a pair of grey sneakers.

they took a cab to get to where they were going, Yu also conveniently forgot to mention that the cab driver worked specifically for Yu's family. Yu and the others all talked together, though it was mostly Yu explaining what the Lynx meeting place was like.

When they arrived Yu gave the driver a large tip and started walking, the others following behind him. They were in an older part of the city, although the buildings were still quite nice.

Yu pulled a card out of his pocket and swiped it down a scanner, a red light flashes green and the door clicked as it unlocked. Yu walked through the door and waved to a few people that walked past him. The building was connected in a square to other apartment buildings, all the buildings were about fifteen stories tall.

Yu walked through the back door into an open area surrounded by the back walls of all the buildings. The only way to get here was through the buildings, so unless you had a key card to one of the apartments you couldn't get in.

The area was about a hundred feet by a hundred feet so there was a lot of room for people. In one corner a stage had been set up for anyone who felt like showing off a bit. along the wall opposite the stage a "bar" had been set up. Everyone called it a bar since they didn't know what to call it. There were snacks set up for kids or adults to snack on along with alcohol for adults and non-alcoholic drinks lined up on shelves behind the snack table along with a fridge for cold drinks. People were only allowed alcohol after eight.

Yu wasn't really sure who did it but the drink shelves were always refilled when they got low, and someone was always watching the tables to make sure nobody got into the drinks and to fill up the trays when they were emptied.

All the apartments had balconies connected by a stairway that looped all the way up to the flat roofs where people hung out often. colorful light bulbs laced through the balcony rails all the way up to the top floors, although they were off right now when it got dark and someone turned them on they were beautiful. Yu left his friends to look around as he walked over and started snacking on some grapes and cheese as he grabbed a bottle of chocolate milk. He chuckled when he heard Komaki let out a small squeal in excitement. This was going to be fun.
