"Thank you Hyung, I hope we can be close as well."

This was the first time Ni-ki had called Jungwon, Hyung. Jungwon smiled at Ni-ki, Jungwon had never had many friends due to his addictions. But he met Ni-ki, who shared the same problems. "What type of movies do you like?" Jungwon asked Ni-ki. "Horror cause I'm so cool like that." They laughed at Ni-ki's joke. "We should have a movie night tonight, well if you won't you really don't have t-" 

"Of course!" Ni-ki cut off Jungwon, Jungwon spaced out and was happy that this movie night could create a better friendship between them. "What movie?" The youngers words made Jungwon snap out of his trance. He realized Ni-ki's question. "Oh! Uh, I don't know. Any horror movie?" Ni-ki simply nodded, he inhaled the smoke again and then nudged Jungwon to look at him and did a trick with the smoke. Jungwon clapped a little, then attempted to do the same and failed. Ni-ki laughed at the older. "Shush, I haven't been smoking as long as you!" Jungwon scolded Ni-ki which made the younger laugh more. Jungwon chuckled, admiring Ni-ki's smile and laugh.

An hour passed and eventually they went back inside. It was 11am now, they were bored and Ni-ki just sat on the couch watching Tik-Tok. Jungwon was standing in the kitchen scrolling through horror movies. "How about we watch 'The Conjuring' tonight?" Jungwon offered and Ni-ki quickly nodded. There was silence for a few minutes, then Ni-ki broke it. "Hey, Hyung?"

"Yeah?" Ni-ki put his phone down and turned to Jungwon in the kitchen. "Are you sure It's not a burden with me staying here?" Jungwon simply looked at Ni-ki and nodded, giving Ni-ki a reassuring smile. Ni-ki smiled at Jungwon again, which made Jungwon realized how sweet Ni-ki was when he wasn't high or drunk.

Most of the day they briefly talked to each other and just sat on their phones. Ni-ki wondered why Jungwon smoked and did drugs. Jungwon mentioned stress and the younger was intrigued to know more about Jungwon's life. Although, the older seemed to avoid questions about it.

-Time skip-

It was 8pm and Jungwon had put the movie on the TV and called Ni-ki in. Ni-ki sat on the couch, grabbing a blanket and burying himself with it. Jungwon sat down beside him, he was cold but didn't ask for the blanket. Ni-ki looked over and noticed Jungwon shivering. "Hyung, are you cold?" Jungwon looked and Ni-ki and nodded. Ni-ki gave up some of the blanket and threw it to Jungwon and smiled at him.

Jungwon started the movie and without noticing they began getting closer together. When a jump scare was about to come, Ni-ki grabbed Jungwon's hand and buried his face in it so he couldn't see. This surprised Jungwon and made him a bit flustered. Then Ni-ki realized his actions and apologized.

Once the movie was over, they kept talking. "Why were you arguing with your friends that night?" Ni-ki had forgot about that until Jungwon mentioned it. "Oh... That... I couldn't find some drug I had, and no one would confess, and everyone blamed each other." Jungwon just nodded. "What drug?" Ni-ki thought about it, he forgot for a while. "Uh, Molly I think." Jungwon nodded. They continued talking about random things to learn more about each other until they were tired, and both ended up sleeping on the couch.

-Time skip-

That morning Jungwon woke up first again. He made breakfast for both of them and woke Ni-ki up, noticing he had a long sleeve T-shirt on this time. "Ni-ki can you help me cook these last few pancakes?" Ni-ki groaned and reluctantly got up, although Jungwon had finished cooking before he got to the kitchen.

The younger was starving and ate the pancakes quickly and thanked Jungwon. Ni-ki left the kitchen sat on the couch. "Where did you get the shirt? You came here with a short sleeved white shirt." Ni-ki admitted that he stole the shirt from Jungwon's closet and prayed that he wouldn't get scolded. Jungwon didn't seem to care, he was just suspicious. 

"Are you going home today, or no?" Jungwon asked Ni-ki, trying his best not to sound rude. Ni-ki felt guilty that he was staying for so long. "I'm so sorry, is it better if I leave?" Jungwon quickly reassured Ni-ki. "No! It's okay if you want to stay. It's nice having company anyway." Ni-ki nodded and smiled at Jungwon. It already felt like Ni-ki basically lived there even if it was only 2 nights.

"Hey, Ni-ki. If you are staying longer here... Do you think it's fair that I know some things about you? You don't have to answer my questions if you don't want." Ni-ki had hidden many things from Jungwon, he knew he had to tell him. The younger nodded, "Yeah, but you have to as well. I know you hide a shit ton of stuff from me." They both chuckled, Jungwon insisted on asking the questions first.

(This part is basically just dialogue so bear with me.)

Jungwon started with a question that the younger knew he would ask. "Why can't you go home and say something other than 'I just can't'." The younger sighed before answering. "My parents aren't the best and I bet they don't even know I'm gone right now. But if I go home now, I'm fucked. Don't tell anyone and please don't call the police but they have abused me most of my life. Okay?" Jungwon listened to every word intently and was surprised but just nodded.

Jungwon didn't want to invade Ni-ki's privacy, so he stopped asking questions after the first. Ni-ki now could ask Jungwon a question.

"What do you mean by stress when you said that's why you smoke?" Jungwon had forgotten about that. "Oh, just the stress of paying the bills and stuff but mostly just the loneliness. It gets stressful when your young and have to do everything alone even if it's new to you." Ni-ki just nodded, knowing it must be stressful for Jungwon. 

They finally knew a bit more about each other and were more comfortable with each other's presence. They hadn't planned anything that night so they both just went to Jungwon's bedroom. "Are you sure I can sleep with you?" Jungwon asked Ni-ki who insisted that Jungwon sleeps in his bed with Ni-ki. "I can't sleep without cuddling someone anyway." Jungwon got surprised. "You're going to cuddle me?" Ni-ki looked at Jungwon. "Well, we haven't known each other long and by your face I'm going to say no. But your presence will be enough!" Ni-ki quickly reassured Jungwon, who was slightly disappointed.

They got into bed; they faced each other the whole night. Jungwon woke up again in the middle of the night for water. He left the room and drank a cup of water. He came back in and noticed Ni-ki had a short-sleeved shirt on. He glanced at the lines on the younger's arms before sliding back under the blanket and going to sleep.

"One day, Ni-ki. One day I'll ask you about the lines." Jungwon whispered, quiet enough to not wake Ni-ki up. Jungwon fell asleep quickly and noticed Ni-ki's body slowly coming closer to him. During the night, Ni-ki had ended up with his face laying on Jungwon's. chest.
