Forgotten Kiss [Minsung]

Igniting memory

"What are you even saying Seungmin?" Han asked holding up the drunk Seungmin to prevent him from falling.
"C'mon, You know the kings game." Seungmin said still slightly slurring his words.
"Its the game where we pick chits. Most of the chits will have numbers and one will have the title of king. The 'king' of each round should pick 2 numbers and ask them to do something. For the audience who doesn't understand my drunk friend's words." Jeongin said coming over to help Han carry Seungmin. "I don't think he should be playing though. He is one drink away from puking all over us."
"Yeah we need to keep him away from the drinks." Bang Chan said taking away the drink from Seungmin's hand and guiding him to a chair.
"It sounds interesting. We should play it." Felix said piping in.
"Yeah we have the chits ready already.I got it from some seniors who were playing nearby." Hyunjin said walking in with a handful of chits.
"Okay. C'mon let's play." Changbin said in his signature loud voice, gathering everybody and asking them to sit together.

Lee Know and Han who were still acting awkward went along with Changbin.

Changbin gathered everybody near the lake. They all dragged chairs, beanbags, cushions and tables and set it up in front of the lake. The trees and hedges surrounding the lake were all decorated with fairy lights and decorations which reflected on the lake. It looked like something straight out of a fairytale. They all sat there with their food and drinks in hand ready to play the game.

"Okay, let's get this thing started." Scarlet said taking the can full of chits and passing them around for everybody to pick one. "Let the first try be the trial round. Then later on we can properly do it."
After everybody picked a chit Scarlet looked around and asked. "Okay. So now who got the king chit?"
"I did." Jeongin said raising his hand.
"So now you need to give a specific set of commands to certain numbers. We have 15 people here so any number from 1 to 14" Scarlet explained.
"Ok, All the numbers 1 to 14, LETS DRINK." Jeongin said raising his glass. Everybody else cheered and drank.

Once they all got the hang of the game they all continued. Making the numbers do random dares or challenges.

"Okay, okay. I challenge............ number 6 and number 9 to kiss, on the lips." One of Scarlet's friend's said. Everybody looked around eagerly looking for the two numbers who had to kiss.
Jisung slowly raised his hand showing that his number was 9.
"Ooohh. And who is the lucky person who has to kiss Jisung?" Felix asked looking around.
Another hand raised in the crowd, this time it was Lee Know's.
The crowd went silent waiting for them to kiss.

"You guys don't have to do it if you are not comfortable you know?" Chan said.
"Its fine." Han said slowly walking towards Lee Know. He sat down next to him, shifting closer.
"You sure you are not gonna back down?" Han said in an attempt to provoke Lee Know.
"Oh don't worry I am not going to."Lee Know said pulling Han's face into a kiss.

The kiss was soft and sweet.But the moment they kissed all these feelings came back to them. The feeling of that missing person in their memories who they valued. Their feelings slowly started pouring into the kiss. Neither of them being able to part even for a breath. Their kiss slowly started to become passionate. They were ignorant of their surroundings, only living in a universe with each other. 

The second the memories finished flooding Lee Know immediately pulled back. Looking at Han with surprise. The feelings of nostalgia and the passion of the kiss still lingering on his lips. The feeling reminded him of that night, the night which finally became clear to him.

They were both drunk. Just two rebellious high schools students trying to do some crazy things. Out with their friends roaming the streets in the middle of the night enjoying the freedom and the high they got from the booze. They finally settled in one of the friend's house which was empty.
The rest of the friends were all collapsed in the bedroom, all shit drunk. The two boys were the only ones awake in the dead of the night, sitting in the silent kitchen.
Both of them looked at each other. Both of them cared for each other deeply, more deeply that they did for any other friend that they had, so deep that they couldn't understand why. They leaned into each other and crashed their lips.The soft kiss was freeing. Finally being able to express the care that they had, the feelings that they never could explain. Their lips melted into each other, both tugging each other's hair. The kiss was like ecstasy to them, a final confession. They continued kissing, only separating when they needed air. Finally after sometime they pulled apart, hair messed up and lips red with blood.
"I love you"
The last thing he said before he collapsed due to his drunk state. 

Han stared at Lee Know wondering why he pulled away. The rest of the group were all surprised by the deep kiss between Lee Know and Han.
"Damn, that was...... interesting. Is there something going on between you two?" Hyunjin asked.

Lee Know and Han looked around and realised that they actually had company and that it wasn't just the two of them.

"Hyunjin let's leave them alone. What happened now they can discuss among themselves. Don't pry. Let us continue the game, and hope no one else comes with interesting challenges like that." Chan said changing the topic.

The group continued the game as usual. Lee Know and Han sat there, occasionally stealing glances at each other. Both of them had finally remembered that one piece of memory that they had been wanting to uncover since then. The one person who was the ghost of their memory was someone who they had been around for the past few weeks. Their memory was unwrapping now, all the memories from their high school days coming back.
