peer pressure was one thing yugyeom was used to, but when you're surrounded by friends who are the ones doing it to you, he is definitely not used to that and yes it's partly the 'friends' part.
yugyeom sits in the middle on the semi-circle, mark tuan standing in the middle with his arm extended and a small white stick in between the eldest males skinny fingers.
"c'mon yugs, one little drag and if you dont like it, kapeesh!" he said encouragingly, wiggling his hand as smoke floated from the hot cherry on the tip of the stick. yugyeom eyed it sceptically, rather nervous to try such thing when his whole life he was taught to never EVER smoke or try to but all his friends, including kunpimook smoked so maybe he should. just to fit in.
"uh, how do you do it again?"
after the question escaped the youngest boys mouth, all six of them cheered and mark demonstrated how exactly to take a drag. without coughing.
the six males stood back as yugyeom took the cigarette in between his lips, looking up at his hyungs with his puppy eyes, only to be encouraged more to the point where he lit his own cigarette, twenty minutes from trying his first one. to be honest, he kind of felt free and calm. never in his life would yugyeom thinm smoking could do such thing, he always thought you'd cough and die of cancer instantly from your first drag but no, he was calm and now relaxing as jackson and kunpimook played soccor on the grass.
blowing the smoke from his mouth, jaebum shoved himself over to yugyeom as the younger watched the two boys intently, more specifically kunpimook.
"hey champ," he said, his brain ordering his shoulder to nudge yugyeom. the said male looked over and smiled softly. "yeah?" the most innocent one of them all asked, curiosity sparking in his chest. jaebum wrapped his arm around yugyeoms should and looked forward to watch the two boys as well. "i just wanted to congratulate you for making a big decision today, i also want to say sorry if you felt pressured at all during it but i was always taught, don't knock it till you try it, you know?" the elder explained, his gaze now on yugyeom again.
the boy blushed slightly, nodding. "i uh, yeah um don't worry, i totally understand. i was a bit scared at first but now i know why people smoke, it's therapeutic.." he mumbled, waving back to kunpimook when the male did. the blush deepened, his head bowing.
"cute, real stinken cute" jaebum said before standing up and walking away, leaving yugyeom to his red cheeks and fantisised daydreams of a special someone.
maybe a special fourteen year old thai boy named kunpimook..
