"Babe, can you pass me the lighter?"

Jungwoo grabbed the pink bic lighter from the coffee table and handed it to Jaehyun, who used it to light the blunt he'd just finished rolling and take a hit.

"Wanna turn?" He then asked Jungwoo, eyes already a little red, but Jungwoo shook his head. He wasn't really into weed lately. It got him thinking too much.

Jaehyun passed the blunt to Johnny. He took a hit and then passed it to Mark, who, Jungwoo could tell, was trying extra hard to play it cool.  Everyone else was too gone to notice the little things like the way his knee bounced up and down or the way he struggled to hold back a cough after barely inhaling anything at all, but Jungwoo did. He chuckled to himself. Mark (Johnny and Jaehyun's favorite sophomore) would be just as much of a stoner as the two of them soon enough.

Deciding it was boring just sitting there, Jungwoo got up and wandered around the party. Honestly, he hadn't even wanted to come in the first place, but he spent most of his time at a Jaehyun's house anyway and it's not like there was anything else to do when the whole school was here.

Whilst making his way through the crowd of intoxicated high schoolers, Jungwoo felt a hand on his shoulder.

He turned around.

"Taeil!"

Man, he hadn't seen him in forever.

Taeil smiled, that cozy smile that Jungwoo loved so much. "Hey, how are you?" the older asked.

Jungwoo wanted to catch up properly, so he grabbed Taeil by the hand and led him outside where it was a little easier to hear.

"I'm good, how's college?" Jungwoo replied.

Taeil was a year older than Jungwoo and a freshman in college, but he was, like, the most popular kid in school before he graduated, so Jungwoo wasn't too surprised to see him.

"Pretty good."

The conversation flowed naturally from there, until some guy Jungwoo didn't know came up to Taeil and clapped him on the back with one hand while he held a beer with the other.

"Bro! It's been forever! How's college life?"

Taeil was mid telling the boy that he'd catch up with him later, since he was talking to Jungwoo at the moment, but Jungwoo shook his head. "Don't worry about it" he mouthed, and left the two of them to talk. He'd rather chat properly over coffee sometime anyway.

He wandered back inside and pulled out his phone. He sighed, it was only 10:32, which meant there was still plenty of party left.

It's not that Jungwoo didn't like parties, they were usually something he was into, actually, but he just wasn't really in the mood tonight.

Just then, he felt a hand on his waist and he turned to see Jaehyun at his side with Johnny and Taeyong.

"Where'd you wander off to, baby?" his boyfriend asked.

Jungwoo kissed his cheek and replied, "just catching up with Taeil."

"Taeil's here!?" Johnny asked, "Man I haven't seen him in forever, fuckin' prick didn't even say hi."

Jungwoo laughed and let Johnny know Taeil was outside. He and Taeyong went to go catch up with him, leaving Jungwoo and Jaehyun, despite the crowds of people drinking and dancing around them, alone. Jungwoo felt Jaehyun's arm tighten around his waist, pulling him closer. He nuzzled his face into the crook of Jungwoo's neck. "'M bored," he said against his skin.

Thank goodness. Jungwoo was bored, too.

Gently, he tilted Jaehyun's chin up so that he could look him in the eyes. "Why don't we go upstairs."
