the only rule of the friend group was no inside dating. it'd been the only rule for ages, made in middle school to protect the group from breaking apart. the fear was that if two people in the group started dating and they broke up, the rest of the group would have to pick sides and split up, which was, obviously, the worst thing that could happen.

you'd adhered to it, even throughout high school, but now you were a full-fledged adult in college. a childhood pact shouldn't be dictating who you could and couldn't date, especially not when one of your friends had confided in you the fact that she'd and another friend had broken the rule in high school and hidden their relationship from everyone.

so it wasn't so scandalous, at least to you, when beomgyu, one of your closest and longest friends, utilized college to pursue you. you shared a lot of the same freshman classes and you lived in the same residence hall, so it was only natural that you hung out together a lot. and with a few of your friends attending different universities, you felt free from that rule that had stopped you from acting on your feelings for your friend for years.

you still had to hide your relationship from the friends who did attend your university, but it wasn't so difficult when you were all busy with exams, jobs, and otherwise. beomgyu could sneak to your room any time he pleased and vice versa. you went to the dining hall together, playing footsies under the table, and had study dates at the library and your favorite coffee shop downtown, all passed off as just something friends do.

what was harder was going out clubbing together. your friends, who may or may not care about you and beomgyu breaking the rule, insisted on your attendance regularly. and while you wanted to go, not being able to dance or go home with your boyfriend was a pain. all you wanted was to touch him however you pleased and kiss him outside of the walls of your dorm room. you couldn't even post pictures on social media without blocking out his face, for fear that someone in your friend group would get mad.

this particular night, you've been dragged out by your friends almost against your will. what was going to be a relaxing night in with beomgyu, watching movies and eating junk food and cuddling in bed, is now being turned into your night of being the designated driver, making sure everyone gets home safe. but as annoying as staying sober and corraling your drunk friends will ultimately be, at least beomgyu has agreed to tag along, to stay sober with you and keep you company.

you're halfway through the night, hoping to go home soon because after a long week of classes and work, you really were looking forward to a night of doing nothing and now you're getting a headache from the loud music and the flashing lights of the club. beomgyu is at your side, nursing a glass of soda.

"think they'll be ready to go home soon?" beomgyu leans in to ask, using his body to shield the way his hand slides across the bartop to hold yours.

you shake your head, rolling your eyes in the process. "with our luck, dahyun will find her second wind before she even loses her first and we'll be here until two."

he laughs a bit, dropping a quick kiss to your cheek. "don't jinx us. maybe we'll get lucky and she'll get too drunk to keep going. then everyone will have to go home for the night."

"you're a lot more optimistic than i am," you remark, reaching over to steal a sip from his glass.

"well, one of us has to have a little bit of hope," he jokes, snatching his cup back from you and giving you a playful glare.

you watch as he checks over his shoulder, dark eyes scanning a dark crowd before he turns back to you, a grin on his face. he leans back towards you, pressing his lips to yours. you smile, turning a bit, your knee bumping against his under the bar. it's soft and sweet and lasts not long enough. when he pulls away, he lets his nose rub against yours, making you laugh.

"how long until we don't have to hide this anymore?" you ask, pulling back fully and looking back at the crowd, trying to catch a glimpse of dahyun or one of your other friends. even if they saw you two, they'd probably be too drunk to even realize.

"until the day we get married," beomgyu answers nonchalantly, going back to drinking his soda.

you turn to him, eyes wide and flashing in the strobes of the stage. your heart is racing in moments and he looks all too calm about what he just said, not even a smidge of surprise on his face. you've never talked about marriage before; you've been pushing it back for months because even after a year of being together, things still feel too new and you both want to focus on finishing your degrees anyways, but you'd be lying if you hadn't thought of it before.

"married?" your voice is a little watery, but out of happiness. "you think we'll get married?"

he nods, his hair settling unevenly on his shoulders. he sets his glass back on the bar and looks back at you, a shy little smile on his face. "yeah, one day. unless that's not what you want."

you smile and bump your knee against his for the second time tonight, reaching across to grab his hand and bridge your fingers together. "it could be what i want. someday, at least."

you're sharing a lovesick gaze, beomgyu playing with your fingers when dahyun bounds up, her eyes wide and wild. her face is flushed red from drinking too much and she's stumbling on her feet, her hair ruffled from dancing.

"hey hey hey, um... lia is getting sick in the bathroom - don't worry, the other girls are taking care of her. so it's probably time for us to head home."

you watch her glance at your hand, still intertwined with beomgyu. a cold, creeping dread fills you, but her eyes are glassy and she seems out of it. even if she's seen, she doesn't really care because she doesn't say anything.

"gyu, will you go get the car started?" you ask, looking at him and squeezing his fingers with your own. "i'll go help the girls."

he nods and you pass him the keys from your jacket pocket. dahyun is pulling at your hand, yanking you up from your seat. she's turned around all the way and before she can pull you off towards the bathroom to collect lia and the rest of your friend group, beomgyu is able to close the gap, kissing you again.

"i'll see you in a bit," he says. "still wanna watch movies tonight?"

you smile and nod at him, trying to follow dahyun, who's still pulling at your hand, increasingly confused by why you aren't moving. in return, he smiles back and leans in to kiss you a third time. dahyun turns around right before he pulls away and you watch as her eyes lose a bit of their wateriness, eyesbrows twitching in realization, but you doubt she'll remember in the morning.

"alright, see you in a few."

he finally lets you go and you let dahyun lead the way. her mind is still turning, you can practically see the gears working as she speaks silently to herself. you're glad she's not asking about it now because if she does care, you'd rather have this conversation when she's sober, when the whole group is sober, even though what you and beomgyu do in the shadows, in dorms and private study rooms at the library, is none of their business.

but you'll be the reason why that rule is stupid. you'll prove that you don't need the rule, that you never needed the rule.
