He looked around the place eyeing every corner, and within one jump he crossed the fence and ran.
And there he saw her, leaning onto her bike and standing there looking around.
Ryujin placed the cigarette onto the rim of her mouth and glanced at the man standing there few metres away from her.
"Why are you glued there? Come here" she asked, he walked upto her and stood there beside her too, grabbing a cigarette from her pack and placing it inbetween his lips.
He lit up the cigarette and placed the lighter in his pocket and then glanced at her.
The first thing he noticed was her glance on his lips.
And then she moved towards him and contacted the unburnt cigarette to his burnt one. Once hers lit up, she moved aback.
"Did you just smoke? You don't even touch that thing"
"Let's go" he avoided. It's a daily thing for the both of them now. Midnight hikes, Both of them suffer from insomnia, and hence walking beneath the moonlight is way better than the toxic environment back home.
Inhaling in the smokes, beomgyu initiated a ride to the bike as ryujin sat behind him, holding onto his shoulders.
He threw the unfinished cigarette out and took off in full speed.
AT NEAR THE RIVER
"aren't you irritated? Or bored? Or.. dissatisfied?" She asked, averting her gaze at him.
"yeah I am. but my parents don't give a fuck about me. I still don't know why I need to lie to her and sneak out when I already know she is least interested.. but it doesn't bother me anymore, I have a friend like you always beside me" Beomgyu felt uncomfortable, calling her his friend. Ryujin is more than that to him, a tingling feeling he can never explain.
He glanced at her side profile, her hair blocking the view.
She still had that cigarette in her hands, too engulfed in the weather there to even smoke the rest of it.
She felt a hold lingering on hers a second later as she looked down seeing his hand being intertwined with hers.
And then she felt her cigarette being snatched and thrown to the water.
"Quit smoking, mainly. you"
"You just smoked few minutes ago, even though it's quite surprising to me as for me, I don't want to. I like how it feels" she responded, inhaling the toxic smoke. Again.
"Only a fool will put her lips at the end of burning fire, it's true I smoked today, that's out of stress, I won't let it get to be an addiction and take this instead" he handed ryujin a pack of gum, strawberry flavour.
