Dream / Jihan Svt

9.

Joshua sat close to the fire, the warm glow from the flames dancing over his skin, the heat a welcome contrast to the cool evening breeze. His thoughts drifted back to the day's events, his mind replaying moments spent with Jeonghan—the easy laughter they shared on the beach, and the undeniable chemistry that simmered between them during the playful chicken fight. It felt so natural to be near him, as if their connection had been there all along, waiting for them to notice.

As he stared into the flickering flames, lost in thought, a shadow fell across him. Joshua blinked, pulled back to the present, and found himself looking up into Jeonghan's mischievous smile. His heart fluttered as Jeonghan sauntered closer, holding two drinks, his movements effortless yet deliberate.

"Caught you lost in thought again," Jeonghan teased, handing one of the drinks to Joshua before settling beside him. Their legs brushed, a subtle touch that sent a spark of awareness through Joshua's body, leaving his skin tingling in its wake.

Joshua smiled, feeling a little sheepish. "I guess I was," he admitted softly, taking a sip from his drink. "Just enjoying this moment... it feels special." Jeonghan nodded, his gaze flickering from the fire to Joshua. His voice, low and smooth, was almost a whisper. "It does, doesn't it? Nights like these... they stay with you."

Around them, their friends laughed and talked, the atmosphere light and full of camaraderie. Seokmin and Mingyu were still locked in an animated debate over the best way to grill, while Hana and Nari giggled at something Chan had said. The fire's soft glow cast everyone in warm hues, as if the moment itself were frozen in time.

As the conversation ebbed, someone—probably Chan—began to strum a guitar, the gentle melody merging with the rhythmic crash of the waves behind them. The group began to sing along, their voices rising into the night air, harmonizing with the soft music.

Joshua leaned back on his hands, his heart full. He took in the sounds of his friends' laughter, the peacefulness of the ocean, and the warmth of the fire. Yet, it was the subtle presence of Jeonghan beside him that anchored him in the moment. Every brush of their shoulders, every accidental touch of their knees, sent a rush of electricity through his veins.

As the last few notes of the guitar faded into the night, Jeonghan turned to Joshua, his voice so quiet it felt like a secret between them. "Do you ever wonder about moments like this? How they stay with you, long after the fire's burned out?"

Joshua's breath hitched slightly, the shift in Jeonghan's tone sending a ripple of anticipation through him. He turned to meet Jeonghan's gaze, surprised by the intensity there. "I do," Joshua murmured, his voice just as soft. "That's why nights like this are special."

Jeonghan's eyes held his, and for a heartbeat, it felt as though the world had narrowed to just the two of them. Slowly, almost hesitantly, Jeonghan reached out, his fingers grazing the back of Joshua's hand. The touch was light, barely there, but it ignited something within Joshua—something raw and electric.

His pulse quickened, but he didn't pull away. Instead, he found himself shifting closer to Jeonghan, drawn in by the unspoken energy between them. The warmth of the fire was nothing compared to the heat coursing through his body at that moment. Jeonghan's voice was even softer now, barely a murmur, as if testing the waters. "Do you ever think about how it could be... if moments like this didn't have to end?"

Joshua's heart raced, his mind buzzing with thoughts he hadn't dared speak aloud. He glanced down at Jeonghan's lips, his voice trembling as he whispered, "I think about it... more than I should." Jeonghan's smile deepened, knowing and a little playful, as though he'd been waiting for this moment. With a soft, deliberate movement, he reached up to gently cup Joshua's cheek, his thumb brushing lightly against his skin. Joshua's breath caught, his heart thundering in his chest, as Jeonghan closed the distance between them.

The kiss, when it came, was soft—a tentative press of lips that made Joshua's world tilt on its axis. His hands fisted in the fabric of his shorts as Jeonghan's lips moved against his, slow and sensual, like a secret that had finally been shared. Joshua's mind emptied, leaving only the warmth of Jeonghan's body, the taste of his lips, and the intoxicating realization that this was happening.

Everything around them faded—the fire, the ocean, even the sound of their friends' laughter—until it was just them, wrapped in the softness of the moment. Joshua melted into the kiss, letting it consume him, his body responding instinctively to Jeonghan's gentle touches.

When they finally pulled apart, their foreheads resting against each other's, Joshua's breath came in shallow, uneven gasps. His lips tingled from the kiss, and his heart pounded with the rush of adrenaline. He opened his eyes, meeting Jeonghan's gaze in the flickering firelight. "You okay?" Jeonghan asked, his voice barely a whisper, his fingers still resting lightly on Joshua's cheek.

Joshua nodded, his voice shaking as he smiled. "Yeah... I'm more than okay." Jeonghan's thumb brushed across his skin one last time before he leaned back, his hand dropping casually to rest on Joshua's thigh, the intimate gesture feeling as natural as breathing. They didn't need words; the air between them was filled with unspoken promises, the weight of what had just passed settling softly around them like a warm blanket.

The fire crackled, casting its soft glow over the group, who were still caught up in their own world of laughter and song. But for Joshua and Jeonghan, everything had shifted. The warmth they felt had nothing to do with the fire and everything to do with the connection that had blossomed between them—one that promised this night would be remembered, long after the flames had burned out.
