Strawberries & Cigarettes

A/N: inspired by Troye Sivan's song "Strawberries & cigarettes" 🥹 I highly highly suggest you listen on repeat while reading.

Wooyoung lit up acigarette as soon as he woke up in the morning, sitting up in his bed, shirtless as he leaned back against the headboard.

His small apartment was so quiet because he lived alone.

He's been single for a few years, focusing more on work and himself. Especially his confidence.

As soon as he put out his cigarette, he got up to get ready for the day, making coffee and getting dressed, finally throwing strawberry flavored gum into his mouth before leaving.

Wooyoung was a songwriter, currently working with a very popular singer, Choi Jongho.

"Good morning hyung!" Jongho smiled, excited for recording today.

Wooyoung simply smiled and nodded his head.

"I'm so excited to hear the new song you wrote."

"It's all ready." Wooyoung got the papers out and got his guitar to start singing his new song.

Long nights, daydreams
Sugar and smoke rings
I've been a fool
But strawberries and cigarettes
Always taste like you

"Wow...that's truly amazing...I can't wait to sing the whole thing! It's going to be so popular."

Wooyoung smiled. "I'm glad you like it, it's a special one indeed."

While Jongho was doing his best singing and recording, Wooyoung watched with a sad smile while holding back his tears.

This song held so many memories.

Memories of his first love.

Not only his first, but the last as well.

He hasn't fallen in love again since.

And it was many years ago.

"How was that?" Jongho asked,  after recording the first verse a few times.

Wooyoung smiled, holding up his thumb. "You can take a break." He took off his headphones and went outside for a smoking break.

The song was indeed a hit.

It was played over and over on the radio, in stores, on social media and was even covered by other artists.

Everyone who worked on the song was so happy about the success, except for Wooyoung.

He hated hearing it anywhere.

Was the heartbreak so bad?

To him, it was.

It was so bad it made him not want to date anyone.

Too scared to fall in love again.

But if love wants to find you, it doesn't knock and it doesn't wait for you to open the door to your heart.

It just comes in.

Remember when we first met?
You said light my cigarette
So I lied to my mom and dad
And we jumped the fence and I ran
