十一

NIGHT creeps in, the music and laughter dying down and the lights outside dimmed. Some drunken friends said their goodbyes as they left and went home while Soonyoung and Jihoon left together.

"Well that was an eventful night." they were walking to the bus stop when Soonyoung spoke.

"Agreed. Joshua's proposal was really nice too." Jihoon replied, stretching his arms with a groan. He didn't bother to wear a face mask to cover up. He wouldn't care much

Soonyoung smiled. "I know right! It was so cute. Seokmin's reaction was gold."

Jihoon laughed with him, placing his hands in his sweatshirt pocket to warm it down. The crickets singing as they walked by a row of bushes and the sound of their shoes echoing as it came in contact with the gravel floor.

They were both just enjoying the night, as Jihoon had shyly offered to drop Soonyoung off at his house which was about thirty minutes away from the restoraunt.

The bus stop was empty as they arrived, taking a seat beside each other and waiting for the bus to come.

Jihoon stared at his surroundings then at Soonyoung, the light highlighting his features as his face shined underneath the dim light. He stared at him for a moment 'till he brought his face down, feeling his cheeks heating up and remembering what had happened back at the eating place.

"Eyy come on! It's just a game."

Seungcheol shouted as he held the glass of beer.

The whole group was chanting 'love shot!' since Jihoon and Soonyoung spoke the same number at the same time. Their punishment was to link their arms and love shot with some soju— except the twist was that one of them had to hold the other's waist. Jihoon had denied it, though the creeping feeling inside of him that wanted to just say "damn this I wanna do it" bothered him to death.

"You guys know I hate skinship."

Soonyoung nudged Jihoon as the smaller looked at him. "Just this once. After that I'll try and convince them not to place you into any more of these punishments." he winked as the smaller blinked his eyes before he hesitatingly nodded.

The group teased and cheered as they linked their arms, a shot of soju on their hands. Jihoon had been madly blushing like a tomato when Soonyoung snaked his arm around his waist. His heart felt like it could  jump out of his chest at any moment. He was so close with Soonyoung that he felt as if he was daydreaming, or having his weird fantasies that he dreamed of coming true. His surroundings were muted and his mind could only focus on the latter and the touch on his waist-

"Earth to Jihoon?" Soonyoung called as he waved his hand in front of the younger's face, snapping him out of his daze. "The bus is here."

"Oh! Sorry." Jihoon immediately stood up in which Soonyoung chuckled at, following in tow as they payed and entered the bus. Soonyoung even had an attempt to sneak his arm on the smaller's shoulders when it was shoved off.

It was fairly empty and cold, there were only about two other people there and they were seated far and apart from each other. They took their seats beside one other; Jihoon taking the window seat while Soonyoung sat next to him.

With the loud signal of the door closing in the bus, they started moving.

Though they enjoyed the silence throughout the ride, Jihoon couldn't help but grab inspiration from the moments that happened during the day.

He started to hum a tune. Staring out the window and watching the cars zooming past the bus and the blurred buldings that they drove past from. Usually he'd find the comfort of composing in his room (where he ususally get's inspiration) but somehow the moment where he was placed in, felt very comforting.
