ashes [hyunin]

chapter thirteen

A few drinks in and Jeongin is still painfully in control of his brain. Hyunjin keeps stealing glances at him, looking away when they make eye contact.

"Hey! Why don't we play spin the bottle?" Felix suggests.

"Sounds fun but aren't the only single ones Hyunjin and Jeongin?" Chan adds, looking at the group. "Wouldn't that be weird?"

Hyunjin and Jeongin immediately look at each other. Jeongin doesn't notice it but he's holding his breath.

"Mm, yeah. But like its still fun. Kisses don't have to have feelings. Me and Jisung kiss sometimes. Of course, with Binnie and Minho's permission," Felix smiles, biting his lip. "It's just fun to kiss the homies,"

The rest of them laugh, agreeing with the statement.

"I'm okay with that," Seungmin shrugs, everyone quickly agrees. Everyone except Jeongin.

"You okay, kid?" Changbin asks him, "You don't have to play, no one's gonna judge you," He smiles, patting his shoulder.

"No, I'm fine," Jeongin sighs. "Sorry. I was lost in my brain for a second."

"You're okay," Chan smiles, "Now who's first?"

"Oh! Me!" Felix eagerly spins the bottle, landing on Seungmin. The australian boy laughs, moving across the circle.

"You okay with this?" Seungmin looks at his boyfriend, wanting to double check.

Chan nods, "Go ahead," He smiles, kissing his cheek.

Felix smiles, quickly pecking Seungmin's lips. He moves back to his seat laying on Changbin's shoulder. Seungmin spins and lands on Jisung.

They look at each other then burst out laughing.

"No fucking way." Seungmin states.

"Do I have to?" Jisung whines.

"You agreed to the game," Jeongin nudges Seungmin's side.

Seungmin groans and rolls his eyes as he moves over to peck his lips. They both fake gag then sit back in their spots.

The game goes on for a bit. Jeongin has had to kiss Minho, Seungmin, and Felix so far.

Apparently the kisses were a little too 'short' for some people's liking. So a rule had been imposed that you had to make out for at least ten seconds.

Jeongin hadn't thought much of it, other than how gross it had been to make out with Felix.

Now, it's Hyunjin's turn. He spins the bottle, not really expecting much. Then it lands on Jeongin.

The youngest looks up, wide eyed. "Oh shit."
He mumbles, Changbin chuckle beside him. 

Jeongin thinks he notices Hyunjin's cheeks have tinted pink. He's sure he notices Hyunjin's mouth fall open and Minho poke him with a smirk.

"Close your mouth, dude. You'll catch flies" Minho giggles, poking his cheek again. The blond boy elbows him in the side before moving closer to Jeongin.

He cups his face and smiles at him. "This alright?" He whispers and Jeongin wants to push him off. To yell at him for ghosting him the last two months. But he just nods and lets Hyunjin press their lips together.

The kiss says so much, Jeongin's hoping the others didn't see the tear slide down his face.

Hyunjin's surprisingly gentle, rubbing his cheek with his thumb as he places feather soft kisses on his lips.

"Oh come on! That's not even making out!" Minho shouts and the others laugh.

Jeongin sighs, taking it upon himself. He tilts his head, falling into the rhythm he knows all too well. Hyunjin catches on, adding his tongue, then lightly pulling the boy's hair.
