Cigarette Smokes (HIATUS ◇ REWRITING)

S I Y A M

"your turn," jaehyun smirked, heavy-lidded eyes looking at the person the other end of the heineken bottle was pointing.

"doyoung! doyoung!" ten and kun cheered on his right side, prompting the others that sat around the circle to cheer for him, too. he downed his glass of beer before he held the green bottle, preparing to spin it.

they were playing seven minutes in heaven.

by they, as in the people jaehyun invited in his 'exclusive' party. they're fifteen people in total, ten boys and five girls. seven of those, doyoung hadn't met before, but they all studied in the same university. so much for college and socializing.

when johnny opened the door for them, all smiles and a bottle of beer in one hand, their night of fun had just began. 

that was three hours ago.

when all of them had initially downed at least four bottles of beer (borderline drunk), yuta suggested the devious game. wanting to 'talk' to one of the girls jaehyun invited. and since it was yuta's idea (he's just really eager to get some 'action'), he did the honor to spin the bottle first. and fate must've been playing with him because it landed on the silver-haired chinese who had been glaring at him ever since yuta started spewing bullshit about himself on his second drink.

sulking, both of them went into the pantry, sicheng's feet leaving a dent on the floor while yuta just rolled his eyes.

that was thirty minutes ago.

they hadn't come out, yet. and whether they froze to death or something, the other college students didn't care. they were having fun. doyoung actually loosened up and even joined the hoots and cheers when it was ten's turn and he was paired with taeyong. but jaehyun stood up instead and dragged the other blue haired to one of the empty cabinets while kun jokingly pulled the small thai to sit on his lap.

after eight minutes, the pair came back. all disheveled and flushed. and clearly-- banged. and doyoung wanted nothing but to wipe off the smirk that was plastered on jaehyun's face when the bottle the latter spinned landed on him.

doyoung's laid back manner was pulled back to his old reserved self once the bottle he spinned landed on the tallest person inside the room.

wendy- one of the girls, whistled with her fingers in between her lips and wiggled her eyebrows at both of them. prompting the others to tease them as well.

johnny only chuckled as he stood up and offered his hand to doyoung to help him up, too. but doyoung ignored it, and stood on his own, dusting his pants as he threw a glare at ten, who's having the time of his life teasing doyoung. this only pumped up ten, so doyoung just sighed and followed johnny into the hallway.

johnny, already familiar with the house's every nook and corner, lead doyoung to one of the guestrooms. and doyoung's oblivious self, who was busy admiring all the paintings on the wall- identifying some of them as the masterpieces of well-known painters, didn't realized the two of them already passed the cabinet they were told to use for the game.

it was when johnny opened the door of the room that doyoung realized where they were.

"i'm pretty sure this isn't the cabinet jaehyun said to use," doyoung started but johnny didn't seem to hear as he strided towards the room's balcony. he opened the double doors and motioned for doyoung to follow. though hesitant, doyoung went in, and left the door slightly ajar.

it didn't missed johnny's observation, and he chuckled at doyoung's action.

"don't worry, i won't murder you."

doyoung's eyes widened and he staggered a little, this emitted a loud laugh from johnny. and doyoung can't help but to relax at the melodious sound of it, realizing that the six-feet giant was just messing around.

"kim doyoung aren't you just so adorable," johnny off-handedly said as he sat down the bean bag that was placed to face the city's skyline.

the remark turned doyoung's ears red despite the hot weather.

johnny looked back at him, oblivious to the effect he had on doyoung, and tapped the other bean bag beside him. doyoung, still flustered, understand what he meant and slowly made his way to it.

silence enveloped them, and only the distant honking of cars in the highway could be heard. it was this atmosphere doyoung felt whenever he's with johnny that never failed to relax him, though he didn't have a clue as to how. he just decided to enjoy it, and leaned back, his head rested against the tiled wall of the balcony. the green plants that lined the railings which fluttered as the nighttime breeze caressed them and the view of the city's night life in front of them an addendum to the comfort doyoung was feeling.

after awhile, johnny stood up to enter the room and quickly went back out with a guitar on his hands.

doyoung did a double take at johnny but johnny just sent him a smile as he settled himself back on the bean bag. he propped the guitar on his legs as he started strumming mindlessly.

doyoung went back to his relaxed state. he leaned his head back, and closed his eyes as he listened to johnny's mellow strumming.

doyoung recognized the song johnny was playing, and it struck him as johnny doesn't looked like the type to listen to such music. nevertheless, doyoung enjoyed it and started humming along.

johnny hearing doyoung's angelic-like voice, momentarily stopped his playing. not believing that the guy beside him owns such a beautiful voice despite doyoung was just humming. once he recovered from his initial shock, he went back to playing, and doyoung started singing lowly.

"how you've been doin'?~"

kinda bummed. with alcohol and your voice, johnny thought.

"you sleeping alright?~"

not really, someone's keeping me up at night.

"i'm worried your tears still wake you up at night,
and you know why,
but you don't know why at the same time~"

before doyoung could even proceed to the chorus, johnny stopped his strumming, yet again. this prompted doyoung to open his eyes and looked at johnny questioningly.

johnny gave him a hesitant smile.

"why'd you stopped?" doyoung tilted his head slightly. and johnny almost cooed at how cute the guy infront of him looked. but he held back as he deemed his own question was more important.

"i want to ask you something, and maybe this is just my drunk self talking, but can we be friends? i would really like to know you more," johnny said in one breathing. doyoung giggled.

"aren't we already?"

"wait, really?"

"i wouldn't let you drag me to a cafe or to anywhere else if we're not friends, mr. seo," doyoung said and gave johnny a toothy smile. "now get back to your strumming. you're ruining the mood with your nonsense questions, my friend."

johnny shook his head in disbelief, but let out a small laugh. silly him to think they're not friends, yet.

johnny continued playing the guitar, and doyoung continued singing along with him under the stars.

their new found friendship beginning to bloom into something more.
