it was at the age of nineteen when yukhei had his first kiss;

🌼

having his eyes closed, legs crossed, and silence surrounding the four walls of the room, yukhei just had to be disturbed by a guy beside him who's whining.

sighing, the taller male opened his eyes and turned his head to the one who's making a fuss about how boring their activity was. ❝woo, you do know meditation requires us to be calm and collected?❞

❝i know!❞ the older huffed the moment he crossed his arms, throwing his back down on to the bed. ❝but i want to do something else.❞

yukhei would like to admit it, he was also bored following instructions on the internet about meditation but it was even jungwoo who suggested him that. the two were so stressed out by school. well, yukhei is. jungwoo is stressed out by both school works and his unknown relationship with his ex-boyfriend. they still contact each other and doyoung has recently found a job at a company not far from their university. but anyways, it had come to the point of them having to search in how to relieve it. meditation sounded like a good idea at first but neither of them can remain calm.

jungwoo was now dying because of how quiet the room is. turning his eyes on to the younger beside him, he could see yukhei going back in to meditating. how serious was he in this?

planning to annoy him and get him to do something else, jungwoo started to roll on the bed. his leg purposely hitting the younger's arm.

along with that were whines. ❝i think i'm going to die.❞ he cried out. ❝yukhei, it's so boring!❞

❝woo.❞

❝you that one line you hear when it's quiet?❞ jungwoo sat up and held on to yukhei's shoulder, forcing the taller male to look at him. ❝i can hear it!❞

usually, it would be yukhei annoying the older but he actually had plans to meditate. school project weren't a joke and he had them all piled up. but since his bestfriend was doing the worse job in being his meditation buddy, he had to give in.

he can't resist him anyways. ❝fine.❞

having a loud cheer, yukhei switched his position and was now facing the adorable male sitting across him.

❝so, what?❞ saying that made yukhei pause for a moment, remembering a specific song that was stuck inside his head for the whole summer.

puffing his cheeks, jungwoo started to stare out of space and tilted his head to the side. he was thinking of what they could possibly do that would still relieve stress but at the same time, they won't die out of boredom. ❝can we just talk?❞

that suggestion made yukhei roll his eyes, causing for the older to pout at his reaction. ❝ain't that still boring?❞

❝but there's noise.❞ jungwoo convinced him with hand gestures and making it look like talking was such a great activity to do. successfully making the younger laugh, the older started the conversation. ❝how are you?❞

❝are we starting it off this way?❞ chuckling, yukhei answered the question seconds after. ❝aside from school being hell as always, i'm doing fine thank you very much.❞ it was then his turn to ask. ❝you?❞

that made jungwoo smile. during the past months, his sadness won't last that long because of this tall male right here was always there for him. he'd always find a way to reach out for him and end all his problems. he was always there whenever he'd have breakdowns, he was always there when he was mad, and he was especially there whenever he was happy. jungwoo can't even stop being grateful for having yukhei. but to sum it all, he replied with a simple, ❝i'm also fine.❞

seconds passed and neither of them spoke, making yukhei frown. ❝this is boring.❞

he preferred to meditate than do this.

❝let's spice up the questions then!❞ with a wide grin, jungwoo scooted closer as he lowered the volume of his voice. ❝is there someone you're having an eye on?❞

yukhei is looking at that person right now.

knowing he can't lie, he just simply answered the question. ❝yeah, i do.❞

jungwoo then gasped, started to get nosy. ❝since when?❞ he never knew about yukhei's love life, now that he just thought of it. but then again, he never even bothered to ask. ❝who?❞

❝that's unfair.❞ yukhei then managed to get himself out from answering the questions and getting himself exposed. ❝it's my turn. have you had your first kiss?❞

he hoped he hadn't yet.

pouting, jungwoo couldn't believe that his bestfriend was hiding the person he likes from him. it's probably someone he knows very well and he might help yukhei with it. ❝that's your spicy question?❞ he scoffed. ❝of course.❞

the smile on yukhei's lips dropped to a frown, hearing his heart breaking into pieces. then again, hasn't it broken to pieces long ago? ❝who?❞

❝doyoung.❞ memories of their first date then came flashing right inside his head. the way how held him tight and how he kissed him softly like he was a delicate glass made jungwoo feel the butterflies inside his stomach again. ❝how about you?❞

❝me?❞

❝first kiss.❞ now being in this topic, jungwoo just realized that yukhei hasn't been going out to dates neither was he seeing anyone these past months. but if he isn't then does that mean he hasn't made a move on the person he likes yet?

too embarrassed to say it out loud, yukhei looked away. he leaned his back on the headboard and crossed his arms, looking like a kid that was about to admit that he had broke a flower vase. ❝well..❞

that look on his face was enough for jungwoo to guess the right answer. ❝you haven't, have you?❞

❝hey!❞ yukhei groaned, burying his flushed face down to his palms. ❝let's not talk about it.❞

❝that's surprising.❞ jungwoo moved a little bit closer to the younger, wanting to stay into this topic as it was getting interesting. ❝you went out a lot of dates and didn't get to kiss neither of them?❞

❝not all dates ends with a kiss, woo.❞ the blushing taller male stated. ❝can we move on?❞

❝i find this interesting.❞ the older said with an innocent smile, it was as if he isn't planning to tease the life out of his bestfriend.

raising his head up at the older, yukhei sat there with a frown. ❝how is this interesting?❞ he then ruffled his hair in frustration, not liking how they were talking about this. ❝woo, we should be meditating!❞

❝i find anything about you interesting.❞ jungwoo said without even thinking about how the other would feel about it. he didn't know how fast yukhei's heart was beating already and how he spaced out after hearing that coming from him. but it just had to come to a halt the moment jungwoo added. ❝you're my bestfriend, of course you'd be interesting  for me.❞

what did he expect? yukhei should have gotten used to this already. ❝i'll go back to meditating, this is stressing me out more.❞

❝do you know how to kiss?❞

jungwoo widened his eyes and covered his mouth, not expecting for it to come out. he had just thought of that question inside his head, he didn't mean to say it out loud. he might have hurt yukhei's feelings with it or anything. slapping his lips, the older scolded himself for not being able to think about the younger's feelings.

staring straight to his bestfriend, jungwoo then gave him an apologetic frown. ❝yukhei, i'm sorry i—❞

but the younger had already cut him off before he goes in explain himself. ❝can you teach me?❞

the sudden question took jungwoo by surprise. ❝what?❞

if you ask yukhei, he also had no idea what he was doing. it just crossed to his mind that this was an opportunity he had to seize, especially when his bestfriend is now single. he won't have to feel guilty when he would finally make a move on him.

this seemed like a bad idea.

with heat rising to his cheeks, it just processed to jungwoo's head as to what the younger male was asking him. ❝are you okay with your first kiss being taken away by me?❞

but there was no turning back. ❝question is, are you okay with kissing me?❞

staying silent for a few more minutes, a chuckle echoed inside the silent room. jungwoo scooted closer to the taller male still he was already inches away from him. ❝friends help each other.❞

mustering up a smile despite for just being called as a friend, yukhei then giggled. ❝then it's also fine by me if my first kiss is you.❞

honestly, first kisses doesn't matter for yukhei. it just so happens that he was saving it for jungwoo but if his kiss was taken away by someone else then he won't probably make a big deal about it unless he was forced to kiss. what mattered to him was who he is going to be kissing, and he was about to kiss jungwoo right now.

he's going to be kissing his bestfriend.

❝w-would you w-want me to just stay h-here or..❞ rubbing his nape, jungwoo was stumbling from his words as he still couldn't believe that he just agreed to help his bestfriend in learning how to kiss. ❝sit o-on your l-lap?❞

the younger has helped him in a lot of things, this is the least he can do.

❝where ever you are comfortable with.❞ yukhei didn't even know where he had the confidence to say that.

he hoped for jungwoo to sit on his lap but to his disappointment, the older just stay seated on his bed. well, at least he'd still get to kiss him either way.

❝ready?❞ jungwoo honestly didn't know what to say as a heads up, that was all he could think off.

nodding his head, yukhei could then feel his breathing hitch the moment he felt the older's hand settling on his cheeks. he had held those hands countless of times and he still can't get over at how soft they are. closing his eyes, yukhei can now feel his warm breath touching his lips.

few more seconds of waiting, it was what yukhei had expected. the older's lips were soft, and he actually got to finally taste it. he finally had it touch his own.

a simple peck, that was what yukhei was thinking this kiss would last but he thought wrong. he felt his inside flipping and imaginary fireworks booming when jungwoo started to slowly move his lips. he stayed still for a good second till he got to follow the older's movements. their lips kept on separating for a centimeters away till they would connect it back again and do the same movements which they were in sync at.

❝mm..❞ jungwoo furrowed his brows as he felt himself getting in comfortable in kneeling down the bed while leaning forward to give his bestfriend a kiss on the lips.

noticing it, yukhei pulled away just to tap a finger on to the older's leg. getting the hint, jungwoo made his way on to the taller's lap and got back to connecting his lips on to the younger's waiting ones. he threw his arms around his shoulder and hugged his neck to pull him deeper on to the kiss.

jungwoo obviously forgot what his purpose was at that moment.

placing both his hands on to the older's waist and pulled him closer that ever, not leaving any space in between their chest. jungwoo hummed at how tight yukhei was gripping on to his waist and that was enough for the younger to know that he had to loosen his grip.

taking it to the next level all so suddenly, already immersed to the so-called kissing practice, jungwoo nibbled on to the younger's bottom lip. yukhei parted his lips and didn't expect for the older to stuck his tongue out. not like he was complaining, he just let jungwoo whatever he would want to do because either way, he'd still love it.

this was more that he had asked for.

but he knew he had to put it to a halt the moment he felt something forming under his pajamas.

❝yukhei?❞ jungwoo's soft voice was heard when the said male had pulled away from the kiss.

placing him down the bed gently, yukhei didn't bother looking back at the dumbfounded male as he quickly found a reason as to why he had to go to the bathroom. seeing his phone by the lamp table, he immediately took it and rushed towards a specific door as if his life depends on it. ❝someone is calling me!❞

it was definitely a poor excuse but as long as he got himself safe from embarrassment that it's fine.

as much as he wanted for it to last long, he didn't want for his bestfriend to find out that a tent was made because of the kiss they had.
