Smoke Me.

Chapter 15: Just a bit

AN:This chapter took a long time to write and post, so it's also long as a 'thank you' for waiting. Hope you like it. Edited by jooniekingg.

"Can I hold your hand?"

A quick nod was enough, yet his hand remained flat inside mine.

I made sure we walked through the only park on the way to Fred's house. The sun was burning the top of our heads and the desire to drink something cold had become our top priority the second we saw a small drink stand after walking around aimlessly for a while.

I wasn't sure if he realized I was not trying to get out of the park at all, yet didn't complain. I avoided telling him how I was purposely avoiding all exits.

"An orange juice with lots of ice. What do you want?"

"Lemonade." He whispered from behind me. This time clutching my hand as if the woman serving us was dangerous.

"He'll have lemonade with lots of ice. Thanks." She handed us drinks after a bit and even waved as we were leaving. He walked faster in the opposite direction as if she just swore.

"Jungkook, how about we sit for a bit?"

"No...I...It's too hot."

"That's why we got drinks. Come on, only for a little while."

He shifted his weight from one leg to another whilst chewing the end of the blue straw.

I pulled him towards a green bench under a tree and kept holding onto his hand even when we were both sitting down.

"I don't like it."

"What?"

A tiny ice cube hit the back of my throat painfully.

"The sun."

"Oh," I coughed, "just think of it like taking in vitamin D."

"What the heck?"

"It's the best source for it and you only need to have it for fifteen minutes a day."

"To get a tan?"

I smiled and pulled him closer.

"No. Absorb everything you need from it. It's good for your bones, your immune system, it prevents a lot of diseases," I stated, "and depression." Mumbled while looking in the other direction.

"Hmm..." He loudly finished the rest of his drink and looked for a bin.

"Jungkook?"

"Yeah?"

"What do you plan on doing for exams at the end of the year?"

"Study. What else?"

"I mean, can you study when you're high?"

If he was looking at the sky before, his head now snapped in my direction. I controlled the urge to meet his gaze and pretended to have my attention grabbed by something in the distance.

"Why do you ask?"

"No reason. I was curious."

No other word was spoken.

I squeezed his hand with force.

"Aw, why did you do that?"

"No reason."

I grinned and stole a peck on his cheek.

His hand went towards his face by instinct and his drink fell to the ground.

"We're in public." He whispered as he tried to reach for the drink.

"And?"

"What if someone sees?"
