chapter nine

Sleepovers became a normal thing over the months following the ice cream shop. Every so often, Hyunjin and Jeongin would drive just out of the city to have a sleepover.

Jeongin parked in the normal spot, texting Hyunjin he was outside. A few moments later, the blond comes happily towards the car.

He gets into the passenger seat, throwing his bag in the back. "Hi, Sunflower!" He says, excitedly.

"Hi," Jeongin mumbles, looking down at his lap.

"Everything okay?" Hyunjin tilts his head. There's a moment of silence before Jeongin speaks again. 

"Hm? Oh. Sorry I was distracted...Yeah, I'm fine."

"You sure?" Hyunjin cups his face for a second.

"I'm fine." Jeongin pecks his lips, sighing as he puts the car in drive.

"Okay. If you say so. Are we gonna go out to the normal spot?" Hyunjin asks, buckling up.

"No. I was thinking we'd drive out further tonight. Out to the middle of nowhere and lay under the stars...It'd be romantic."

"Oh cute! I brought some whiskey, per usual. I also brought some weed too, this time, but I don't expect you to smoke...I just figured it could be fun."

"Okay," Is all Jeongin says as he drives.

They drive for about an hour out of the city in near silence.

Hyunjin says they're enjoying each other's presences. Jeongin says he's questioning his life.  

How long can he keep this up? Claiming he's okay with never talking to Hyunjin at school then letting Hyunjin have him however he wants in the backseat of his car. 

At least at their sleepovers they usually do more than fuck. There's usually at least fifteen minutes of talking before.

Jeongin parks on the side of the road a bit out of the city, opening the car door. He goes to the back, opening the trunk and quickly setting up their makeshift bed.

Once he's finished, Hyunjin sits next to him. He's already got two cups in his hands.

He holds one out to Jeongin who looks away.

"You don't have to drink it, Innie. I'm definitely not gonna be offended. Promise."

Jeongin shakes his head. "Give me the fucking cup."

He slowly takes a sip, cringing at the taste. "You didn't put anything in it this time."

Hyunjin laughs a bit at his reaction, taking a swig of the drink. "Yeah, we ran out. I forgot to get more."

Jeongin rolls his eyes, "Whatever. Do not get drunk." Jeongin scolds after a second. "I'm not putting up with your drunk ass. Sober Hyunjin is enough." He laughs a bit.

"Mm. I'm not a lightweight so don't worry. Wanna smoke?"

Jeongin's eyes widen. "We are not making my car smell like weed!"

"Then lets go sit on the roof. C'mon."
He pulls Jeongin out of the car. He climbs onto the roof, Jeongin follows quickly.

Hyunjin smiles, pulling a prerolled blunt from a tin in his pocket and lighting it.

He takes a draw, visibly relaxing. He exhales and smiles. "Here. Open your mouth."

Jeongin frowns but does so.

"I'm gonna exhale into your mouth. It'll be easier to take since its your first. It is your first right?"

Jeongin shakes his head. "I did it once at Chan's in sophomore year."
