suddenly chaehwa felt like a million butterflies inhabited her stomach, her whole body starting to tremble. this wasn't her first kiss, nor did she consider a crush on the younger male before. but now, with his lips on hers and his hands on her waist, she wasn't so sure about just being friends.
surprisingly enough, jeongin wasn't a bad kisser, he just needed a little encouragement from the girl. his lids fluttered open, eyes feasting on a completely committed chaehwa, whose eyes were squeezed shut, making the boy giggle into their kiss.
"ew, what the fuck are you two doing!?"
a deep voice made the two teens jump, fleeing from each others embrace as if they were being held at gunpoint.
"n-nothing.."
jeongin lifted his hands, before tangling his fingers in his locks, deeply embarrassed.
"didn't look like nothing to me!"
seongmi grinned, spying from behind the tent, her phone clenched in her hands.
chaehwa wanted to run towards her friend and rip the mobile device from her hands, but before she could even flinch felix stepped in front of the girl, raising his left brow.
"don't even try to destroy this crucial evidence."
his short digits formed a finger gun, pointing towards the couple.
"stop it felix. that's childish."
chaehwa remarked, arms crossed and lower lip protruding, forming a pout. the drunk boy next to her stayed quiet, all color had vanished from his face.
"jeongin, you good?"
felix asked his friend, who very obviously wasn't feeling well. his hands lowered as he stepped towards the youngest, patting his back and leading him towards their tent.
"i think i'm going to throw up."
he stated bluntly, before the two boys disappeared into their abode.
"great, just great."
chaehwa complained, nostrils flared.
"what do you mean?"
seongmi questioned, still hiding her phone behind her back.
"apparently i'm so disgusting that he has to throw up right after kissing me. i feel really appreciated right now."
"don't bullshit me chae. he's shit-faced drunk. that's why he's probably vomiting his living, breathing soul out right now. you're great, he knows that, i know that. we all know."
the girls shared an embrace, chaehwa's fingers sliding into seongmi's pocket, pulling her phone out, in one swift motion.
"well in that case..."
she unlocked the device and quickly deleted the video, heaps of laughter shaking her body.
"thanks."
she passed the phone to her friend, before running off into the other direction.
"im chaehwa! i'm going to kill you!"
seongmi yelped, standing still, dumbfounded.
felix' head shot out of the boy's tent, eyes darting from the running chaehwa to the stationary seongmi.
"did she.. oh no."
felix jogged towards seongmi, leaving jeongin alone.
"she deleted the video."
the girl huffed, shoulders droopy and head hanging low.
"hey, it's fine. don't worry."
he could've just told her that he had filmed their kiss as well, but for now a hug seemed more appropriate. the boy took a final step towards the girl and flung his arms around her waist, pulling her body close to his.
"you smell good."
she mumbled into his hoodie, sighing and muffling her head into his shoulder, suddenly feeling a light pressure on the top of her head. she wanted to look up again, but upon realizing what was going on, her legs almost caved in.
the boy was pressing his puckered lips onto her head, pecking it over and over again.
"i think i like you."
the red flames were flickering, the sounds of crackling wood seemingly putting miyun in a trance, her eyesight going blurry, her brain spacing out. she crouched in front of the bonfire, staring into the blazing heat without blinking.
"mimi? are you okay?"
woojin spoke, expecting a response but being left without any reaction from the girl in front of him.
he crouched down next to her, staring at her side profile, feeling himself inching closer and closer to her body.
he was about to put a hand onto her back, when her head turned to him, life slowly returning to her eyes.
"i'm sorry, i spaced out."
she mumbled, face red from the heat.
he smiled and nodded, helping her with getting up.
"your face is all red.."
he mentioned, putting the back of his hand onto her cheek, adoration filling his eyes.
"your face is all beautiful."
she said, more to herself than to anyone else, back straightening and breath hitching upon noticing her slip-up.
"miyun..."
he whispered, turning her head to face him, eyes darting from her eyes to her lips and back.
he bit his lip and shook his head, backing away from the girl.
"you're drunk. let's go to bed?"
he sighed, he really wanted to kiss her, but he felt as if he would've rushed her into something she didn't want.
"i'm not drunk, woojin, but if you're up for cuddles, sure, let's go to bed."
she grinned, ignoring the fact that she had in fact drunken a lot tonight. she wanted to blame it on sua and yedam, who convinced her to play beer pong with them. the two girls were still going strong, as a quick glance in their direction proved.
"yedam, i believe in you! you can do it."
sua cheered, before emptying her cup in one go. they had one cup left, while seungmin and jisung were stuck at four. her friend tossed the pingpong ball into the right direction, but before it could in fact land in the cup, seungmin caught the small orb, grinning at the girls.
it took a few seconds of silence for the two females to realize what had just happened.
but when their hazed brains processed the violation of the rules, hell broke loose.
"seungmin!"
they both yelled out in unison, yedam pushing sua forward.
"punish him."
she ordered, a evil smirk coating her lips, before sending a wink in jisung's direction, who just nodded knowingly.
"you don't learn from mistakes, do you?"
sua spoke, flying towards the boy, stopping only centimeters in front of him.
"you broke the rules. that's not fair, is it? what should i do with you?"
the tall boy shrugged, staring at sua intensely.
"i could disqualify you or i could take your camera away."
she spat, getting even closer to him, who just stayed quiet.
"cat got your tongue? you usually always know what to say."
seungmin didn't react, sua continued teasing.
"mh maybe i should just ignore you, since you apparently have an inferiority complex and always need affirmation?"
"maybe you should shut up."
he said, before grabbing her face and roughly crashing his lips into hers, kissing the girl vigorously. she was overwhelmed by the soft lips on hers, as his scent washed over her and she melted into the kiss.
"jackpot."
jisung said, high-fiving yedam, who had her arm snaked around his waist.
"we're just the best."
she shrugged, placing her head onto his shoulder.
"i didn't know seungmin was capable of kissing."
the two started giggling at jisung's comment, before both grabbing a cup of beer and clinking them together, celebrating their victory in match-making.
"what about us, though?"
jisung suddenly asked, yedam's body tensing up.
"i wouldn't kiss you, ew."
the girl joked, hurriedly downing her drink, trying to avoid eye contact.
"oh... i thought.. well nevermind."
