Dreams of Arcadia

25

He held me gently yet unyieldingly in his arms and kissed me in an intense way that I would describe as curious and exploratory. I don't know what was riding me at that moment, but I kissed back as if my life depended on it. My sister had snatched my crush, I'd stayed away from boys for years because of him, it had been ages since my last kiss. His lips were so wonderfully soft and he tasted like strawberries... I heard surprised gasps behind us, apparently Kibum had discovered what I was doing and was having a moderate heart attack, but I also heard him being dragged away clamoring, apparently Jungkook's members weren't going to let him get hung by his balls, as my cousin was loudly threatening.

"Your boyfriend?" mumbled Jungkook against my lips.

"Cousin... More like big brother." I replied breathlessly between kisses, feeling him slowly lower himself with me in his arms onto the mattress he had just landed on. We were both lying on our sides, unable to stop, but he kept his hands by my side, and even though the kiss was very intense, it wasn't as sexual as it looked. After some time and a load of smaller kisses landing on my lips, he let go of me with a smile.

"Thanks." he said with a sweet grin, leaving me completely irritated to greet the others.

"What the hell, Jeon Jungko.... hmmpfff." I heard Jin's horrified exclamation, turning around to see him pressed against the wall, eyes wide, seemingly not knowing what to do. Jimin and Taehyung stood by and laughed until Jimin nudged Tae with his elbow.

"You're next." he grinned, causing Taehyung's laughter to die down. Slowly, he tried to sneak away, but Hoseok held him tight.

"Where are you going? Don't think you'll escape, if we had to go through there, then you have to." grinning evilly, he looked at the shocked Taehyung.

"No, not again... Last time, I couldn't sit properly for three days..." he immediately defended himself and everyone looked at him with wide eyes and open mouths. The silence that spread now made Jungkook pause as well and he let go of Jin.

"TaeTae... maybe you should tell the whole story, the way they're all looking, they've got the wrong idea now." he gently pointed out our astonished faces.

"Oh... oh... ooooohhhh... no, no... not what you think... but he startled me so much when he just kissed me that I tripped backwards over Jimin's shoes and then landed with my butt on the Coke box that was there behind me.... with my tailbone right on the corner... it really hurt." he explained and immediately everyone was giggling, the head-cinema energy was palpable.

"Don't worry Tae, you were the first one I kissed, you're safe. All I want to do now after I die is everything I would never have dared to do in life. So, I'm going to kiss every person I meet here in the afterlife. I've always wanted to know what all those beautiful lips feel like." Jungkook said.

"Yah, you son of a bitch, I've kissed you too, there's even video proof of it." Hoseok grumbled.

"Hyung, that was one second and without tongue, it doesn't count." laughed the younger man.

"So I advise you not to kiss Bora and Minji today, better not Seonghwa either, because one of them has already thrown up and the other two are about to... But Han still looks relatively sober." I pointed to my friends, some of whom were still hanging in the hedge.

"Oh with a heads up it's no fun anyway, I've had enough snogging for today." he lifted his shoulders and smirked.

"Can I hide behind you?" I heard Mingi whisper and giggled because he sounded so shy again.

"Don't worry, he's a good kisser," I reassured him, but that didn't really help.

"But I don't want him to be my first kiss, that's already reserved for someone else..."
