⚠️TW: VAPING (this isn't written to promote vaping, it's just for entertainment purposes)⚠️

Today we're visiting my dad's colleague, because they're just good friends and it's good to meet up sometimes, of course. But they've never met eachother's families so they thought it'd be a good time to do that. So we're on our way to their place now and I don't know what to expect. My dad says his colleague's he's a great guy, funny, but I've only had small talk with him. And he told me he has a son my age so that should be interesting. You know what it's like - he's either a dickhead or a sweetheart, there's no in-between.

We reach their place and get welcomed into the apartment by who I was assuming was my dad's colleague's wife. She was lovely, greeted us with a bright smile and kindness. The house looked quite nice, not fancy or anything, quite modern, comfortable and the perfect size for an average family.
We sat around the kitchen table to chat, and I situated myself on the side next to my dad.

A few seconds later as my parents were talking to my dad's colleague and his wife, a door opened and I turned in that direction. A guy about my age walked over, smiling slightly.

He was... gorgeous- I mean, he looked like a walking diamond. His height, his walk, his face card. Insane.

"Hyunwoo-yah, come join us!" his mum beamed.

Me and my parents stood up to greet him.

Me and Hyunwoo ended up chatting more with eachother than with our parents. I learned that we both have two older sisters who don't live at home anymore, which was pretty cool. We learned quite a bit about eachother on the whole.

We knew they were talking about us, nothing big. That is until we heard his mum say "Yeah, honestly it's so bad. My Hyunwoo's picked up the habit of vaping. I'm not proud of it but he's healthy in every other way so, ya know. I'm just hoping it doesn't last long." she glanced over at him.
"I don't like it. I don't like the fact he's ruining his life with flavoured cancer. I've tried everything to make him stop but he'll realise soon enough." his dad threw a playful look at Hyunwoo.
"Mum, dad.." he scoffed.
"Sorry Hun, we were just talking about you guys. It's not that big a deal, right?" his mum asked.
"I..."
"Anyway..." the parents resumed their conversation and so did we.

"Sorry about that, my parents tend to overshare, especially my mum." he looked embarassed.
"It's alright. You do you." I said. I then swiftly moved on from the topic to not make it awkward for him, 'cause he seemed a little uncomfortable from it. "do you play any instruments?"
"Yeah, I play the drums." he said.
"No way, me too! I play the guitar as well!" I beamed.
"Sick! I actually have a guitar and an amp. I'm not fantastic though." we gave eachother a knowing smile. "let's try some stuff out."

He told his parents that we're heading to his room to have fun with his instruments a little bit. Then my dad remarked "no vaping y/n!"
"Of course not" I responded, snickering.

Once we got to Hyunwoo's room, he shut the door.

"You don't vape, do you?" he asked.
"No.." I said, sitting on the edge of his bed, looking around his room.
"Oh okay, just curious." he said, getting behind his drum set.
"Yeah, it's fine. But I've always had the urge to do it. If there was a way to do it without causing any damage but still blowing out physical vapour or smoke, I wouldn't hesitate. One day, I'm not gonna be able to control myself, swear to God." I rant. It's been a thought of mine for nearly a year now. It's itching my brain, it's so tempting yet so icky.

"Then I suppose you don't mind if I..." he gestures to a vape that was lying around on his shelf. I shook my head and he took a hit.

Why did he look so hot literally vaping? This should not look this attractive.
"Ya know, I don't wanna pressure you into doing anything, but just saying, you have an opportunity right now. A few hits aren't gonna hurt." he said calmly.
"I know..." I was hesitant. "it's not like I have any internal issues, and I've never had the opportunity to try because none of my friends vape." I said. He just took another hit.

"Ya know what, show me what you got while I think about it." I said, gesturing to the drums.
"Alright." he smirked.

He played really really well. I could barely keep up, his arms were floating across the drumset and he made it look effortless. He even twirled the drumstick in his hand at one point.

"Dang, you're good" I emphasises the 'good'.
"Thanks" he smirked confidently then got up and handed me the drumsticks.
"Your turn." he said, taking another hit of his vape.
"Mkay" I take the drumsticks and start playing one of my favourite songs. He was vibing to it and seemed to be impressed.

I didn't play the whole song obviously, I stopped eventually and he let out a "wow" with an additional "you're awesome" while smiling.

I got out from behind the drumset and left the drumsticks on the shelf next to it, coming to sit beside him on the bed.

He stared at me and took another slow drag.
"Why do I feel like you're tryna taunt me?" I narrowed my eyes playfully. He shrugged and said lowly "maybe I am." We both snickered.

I think hard for a moment and then give in. I'm not missing this.
I hold out my hand and he chuckles, handing the vape to me.

I stare at it for a moment, questioning my decision, but then I take a drag without thinking. I end up coughing. It felt so weird.

"Hey it's alright. The best way to do it is if you just hold it in your mouth for a second and then inhale it into your lungs. Try." he said.

I go with his advice and it felt... better. I smile sheepishly after blowing it out.

"So? How is it?" he asked, looking straight at me.
"Not.. bad. Is it mango?" I nodded.
"Yeah. Good right?"
I nod.
"You looked like a natural that second time." he complimented, smiling.
"Thanks. Can I.. do it again?" I asked.
"Yeah, go ahead." he said.

I did it again, holding it in for longer this time. He chuckled at me seemingly enjoying it.
"You like that don't you?" he smiled, and I nodded. I then handed it back to him.
"Shit we should probably make some noise- as in instruments, here." he handed me his guitar and plugged it into the amp. We played a little something just so we don't seem suspicious to our parents.
Hyunwoo really liked my playing on the plus side.

So yeah, sometimes telling people that that's how I met my boyfriend is a little humbling. But he's not as addicted anymore, he said it must've been a phase. And we're extremely happy together now.
