If only something was there

To pull me back to earth

Because I don't mind crashing down,

If it makes my heart realize,

That I am still alive.

Hoseok was sitting near the balcony, distant music emitting from the hall played in the background.

Taehyung had took him there and asked him to wait for the challenge. And then he went away without another word.

Hoseok was internally groaning at himself for even agreeing to some sort of silly bet, and now he was stuck here.

Maybe more than hating the fact that he was dying, at the moment his mind was more focused and critical of the fact that he was amongst all these people he did not know.

He breathed in the fresh air, watching the waves at a distance and the sun that was low at the horizon now. He sighed.

"What are you thinking?" Taehyung appeared suddenly, taking Hoseok by surprise. Hoseok turned to see the guy grinning with two cups in his hand.

"Nothing.."

"Here." Taehyung held one cup out to him and saw his expression frowning.

"I'm kinda sick of fruit punch now." Hoseok groaned in distaste but took the cup anyway. Taehyung was chuckling to see him.

"This is the last cup. I promise." He said and sat beside him.

"So what is this for?"

"We're going to play the classic Never Have I Ever because I won the challenge before. I'll do anything to get you to engage in some sort of activity or game." He laughed.

"What?" Hoseok furrowed his brows.

Taehyung hummed, "Well, in this game someone who hasn't done something basically go like 'Never have I ever.. kissed someone.' If you've kissed, you drink. That's how this game goes. If you've done the thing, you drink."

Hoseok nodded a little but his focused pout suddenly turned attentive and tense, "Of- Of course I knew that!". He was bluffing.

"Really?" Taehyung raised his brows, "Okay, then, I'll start. Never have I ever felt depressed."

What a sick start.

Hoseok stared at him, and then slowly looked down at his glass. He sipped it, feeling vulnerable. Maybe he should have just avoided it. But when he looked up, Taehyung was gazing back at him with eyes that were soft and unreadable, lost in curiosity. He felt ridiculous.

"No questions asked." Hoseok cleared his throat.

"Okay," Taehyung nodded silently, "Your turn."

"Uhh.. Never have I ever.. had a group of friends.."

Taehyung raised his eyebrows, "Really?" And then proceeded to drink. "Maybe you should-"

"Your turn." Hoseok said sternly.

"Hm, okay, Never have I ever fell in love." Taehyung said with an interesting smile.

Hoseok was sort of drowned in his own thought process, not knowing what to do. But he did not drink. Because he has never fallen in love either.

"You too? I thought the shy ones fall in love early on. You know, like one sided love." Taehyung sang out in an amused tone.

Hoseok threw him a tired disappointed glare, and sighed, "It's nothing like what you think."

"Maybe~" He laughed. "Okay, it's your turn."

Hoseok nodded, he slightly stared down at his cup and then his eyes hesitantly looked up at Taehyung, "Uh.. Never have I ever.. kissed someone at a party." He said with his eyes averted and then glanced at Taehyung.

Taehyung was gazing back at him with a soft and strangely attractive smile on his lips.

And before one could speak, Taehyung promptly leaned in and placed a kiss on his lips. His eyes closed as he initiated the haste contact.

Hoseok's eyes had widened and then shut close at first from the surprise, his heart pounded heavily while his mind attempted to comprehend what was happening. But he felt it, the soft feeling of his lips, the subtle yet sweet smell of Taehyung, and the fruit punch that he hated. He could feel all of it.

Taehyung's kiss was slow, he wasn't in a rush, as if he knew Hoseok wasn't going to pull back anytime soon.

And then he softly broke the kiss and pulled back. Hoseok slowly opened his eyes, his face flushed and his eyes full of surprise as he stared back at Taehyung.

Taehyung quickly finished his fruit punch and put the empty cup down, smirking playfully.

"Now I have."
