Winter Summer

Chapter 4

Yoshi looked like he saw a ghost after he received a message from his assistant that Miracle Corporation was considering his proposal and was asking what would be his available schedule so that they could have a meeting. He thought that Jihoon was behind the fast consideration of his approval, but he instantly rejected the idea since he thought that there was no relationship between him and Jihoon except being neighbors. Well, except that they kissed multiple times already.

Yoshi replied to his assistant to set the meeting on the first vacant schedule he has. Everything went so smoothly and quickly that Yoshi was still doubting if they—him and his best friend Asahi—would be meeting the Miracle Corporation right now in a fancy restaurant.

"Stop fidgeting, will you? Relax, okay?" Asahi reprimanded Yoshi, who kept on playing with his fingers and has been moving in his seat as if his butt is on fire. Yoshi was about to make a snide remark but stopped when he smelled that flowery scent that has been haunting him for days. Jihoon was the one they were going to meet.

"Good evening." His voice is so heavenly. Yoshi couldn't stop his thoughts as Jihoon and his company sat across from him and Asahi. Jihoon was so handsome, yet at the same time pretty. He was clad in a black suit and a white inner shirt. His hair was styled in such a way that he looked so innocent yet had that dominating aura because of the way his eyes looked.

Yoshi let out a yelp when he felt Asahi pinch his side. He looked at Asahi with a question in his eyes.

"Jihoon has been waiting for you to accept his handshake. Focus will you?" Asahi whispered and smiled at the two men in front of them as he nudged Yoshi to accept Jihoon's handshake.

"Sorry." Yoshi murmured as he accepted the handshake. Jihoon smiled at him and gripped his hand a little when he accepted Jihoon's handshake. Yoshi felt electricity shoot after their skins made contact with each other. Asahi noticed Yoshi's reaction and made a mental note to ask Yoshi why he reacted that way. As for Jaehyuk, he finally understood why Jihoon reacted that way back in the office when he found out who made the proposal he gave to Jihoon. Yoshi is an eye-catcher. Definitely Jihoon's type, but not his. If anything, his type would be the man beside Yoshi, Asahi.

The meeting went smoothly, with a few awkward moments like the accidental touch between Jihoon and Yoshi that made the latter freeze while the former smiled like an idiot. After the meeting, they were about to go and do their separate things, but Jaehyuk invited them to have a drink somewhere after he found out that Yoshi and Jihoon were neighbors and Hyunsuk was their common friend. Asahi also called Hyunsuk to invite him, which Hyunsuk happily accepted since it was rare for them to have time to hang out due to their busy schedules.

They went to a high-class bar and rented a VIP room for them to use. As they settled into the seats, Jihoon approached Yoshi and sat beside the guy. Hyunsuk saw it but didn't mind it since he thought that maybe they would become friends since they were neighbors. Glasses of liquor started to fill their tables as the hour went by. Slowly, one after the other, they got drunk and started to get louder while talking to each other. Yoshi, who has a high tolerance, watched his drunk friends talk gibberish while giggling.

"You!" Asahi suddenly pointed his finger at Yoshi, who only raised his left eyebrow as he waited for Asahi to say whatever the guy wanted to say. Asahi didn't even have a chance to speak since he vomitted his insides out to the side.

"That's gross, Asahi!" Yoshi shouted as he tried to get away from Asahi. He felt an arm circle him. It was already too late for him to realize that he was sitting on Jihoon's lap. He tried to get up, but Jihoon's grip tightened, making his back touch Jihoon's chest.

"Jihoon, let go." Yoshi whispered to Jihoon. He tried looking at Jihoon, but the man's grip was like steel, so he couldn't move at all.

"I'll accompany Asahi to the restroom." Hyunsuk said to Yoshi. He was giving Yoshi a smirk as he eyed Yoshi, then Jihoon, then went back to Yoshi.

"I'll go with you." Jaehyuk said, and the three of them went to the restroom together.

"Jihoon, let go." Yoshi said as he tried to move away from Jihoon, but Jihoon shook his head.

"Don't wanna. You're so soft and squishy, I just want to hug you." Jihoon murmured as he hugged Yoshi tighter. Yoshi pinched Jihoon's legs, making Jihoon loosen his hug on Yoshi. Yoshi immediately moved away from Jihoon. He observed Jihoon and saw that Jihoon was already drunk too.

Yoshi was about to move to another couch when Jihoon grabbed his hand and dragged him. He ended up sitting on Jihoon's lap again, but this time sideways.

"You know, I like you." Jihoon started making Yoshi freeze in his place. That was some drunken confession.

"You're the perfect example of my ideal partner in life. I don't know if you have the ideal personalities that I am looking for, but the physical aspect, you got it all." Jihoon continued as he hugged Yoshi tighter. The word partner made Yoshi's mind go into alert mode. He never thought of settling down or having a long-term relationship. He's already happy with having flings or some one-night stands.

Yoshi made a mental note that Jihoon was probably checking him out as a possible partner, so he needed to put a little distance between them. Yoshi's eyes focused on Jihoon's when Jihoon held his face and made him face the man who was hugging him sideways. Yoshi felt as if he was being dragged into an abyss by Jihoon's black orbs. He saw how Jihoon briefly looked at his lips before looking into his eyes again.

Maybe Yoshi was tipsy, or maybe he got hypnotized by Jihoon's eyes, which made him dive down and kiss Jihoon on the lips, their lips nipping and tasting each other's lips. Their lips moved together as if dancing slowly under the moonlight. Yoshi tasted the liquor they had been drinking earlier on Jihoon's lips, making him more intoxicated. He felt Jihoon's hand hold his neck and face and angle him a bit, making the kiss deeper.

Yoshi thought that he was getting more drunk from Jihoon's kiss than the liquor they were drinking. He just wanted to kiss the man again and again. He was getting addicted to his lips and kisses. They continued making out, not noticing their friends, who were now looking at them in shock.

"W-wait." Yoshi whispered when he moved away from the kiss to catch his breath, but Jihoon tried to catch his lips again. Yoshi felt someone was staring at him, so he looked to his left and saw Asahi looking back at him with a smirk on his face. That was the moment Yoshi fully realized what had just happened.

"We'll go home now. Continue whatever you two were doing, or just continue that on your condo." Asahi said and dragged Hyunsuk and Jaehyuk outside the room. Yoshi felt embarrassed. His cheeks became beet red. He heard Jihoon laugh, so he darkly looked at the guy. Jihoon pecked a kiss at Yoshi, making Yoshi jump in surprise. Yoshi's swollen lips made Jihoon happy and proud. He kissed Yoshi again but stopped when he felt something different. He opened his eyes and saw himself staring back at him. They swapped bodies again.
