❝CHAPTER 7.❞
seokjin never expected to end up spending the rest of his night with namjoon, but apparently he was. they'd been walking around for around 25 minutes now, not that seokjin minded (as long as it was with namjoon, he was fine) but he was a bit curious as to why namjoon had decided to take him out, especially after last night.
of course, seokjin didn't dare to look up to meet the younger's gaze and simply kept his eyes fixated on his feet the whole time, that was until namjoon broke the silence that surrounded them.
"i never saw you as a smoker." the younger mumbled, and seokjin could tell that he was trying his best to break the awkward atmosphere.
"i don't always smoke. only like, once every six months. i don't know why, but today i just didn't really feel too great so i smoked more than i usually do."
"why did you start in the first place? you know it's unhealthy, right?"
"it's like a stress reliever. plus, who are you to tell me i can't smoke when you're a smoker yourself?"
"you're right, but do you really wanna end up like me?"
seokjin didn't respond. namjoon looked towards the frowning boy before smiling softly and giving his hand a light squeeze. "the place where i wanted to take you is just a few blocks away." and seokjin simply nodded.
the walk was quiet once again but it wasn't as awkward. it was more calming than anything. seokjin almost didn't notice when namjoon stopped. the blonde slipped his hand out of seokjin's and the older watched with wide eyes as namjoon approached the fence of the local city pool.
"wait, namjoon, this is highly illegal, also its fucking 58 degrees, are you insane?"
namjoon scoffed and hoisted himself up and over the fence before signaling for seokjin to hurry. seokjin hesitated but clumsily climbed the fence, struggling as he jumped off.
"what's the worst that could happen?" the younger shrugged, sighing in satisfaction before pulling off his shirt and throwing it aside. seokjin was gonna respond. was. but the cherry tree tattoo that decorated the younger's back distracted him from doing so.
namjoon stripped off his jeans as well, revealing another tattoo. an orchid that wrapped around his thigh and a small 'x' on the dip of his ankle.
it was really mesmerizing for seokjin in a way, being able to see the now noticeable details and drawings carved onto the younger's skin.
