SEXY DIRTY LOVE (A Kim Taehyung Short story)

Chapter 3

They were welcome into his flat by two of his friends, Jimin and Jhope who were waiting for the both of them to arrive with drinks. She had already met them in the morning when she had come to his flat. The evening was filled with food, drinks, talking, weird dance routines made by his friends that had her rolling on the floor. The room was filled with laughter and music.

She looked at the people in front of her, a smile forming on her face as she felt happy in the moment. She needed this. It had been a few crazy months and she desperately was in need of a let out. Her gaze was met by another pair of eyes sitting across her greeting her with a smile. They both looked at each other for a few seconds before exchanging a look that they both knew what it meant. They got up, excusing themselves from the other two who were too drunk to even realise that they had left.

They made their way to the balcony. It was a small balcony, with only enough space for two people to stand at a time. The view in front of them wasn't very scenic. It was a building mid way its construction but the sky. Oh, the sky was another thing all together. Since his flat was on a higher storey, the sky line was right ahead of them. The sky was dark, pollution clearly visible, with a few stars lighting up the sky.

It wasn't breathtaking but it was real. Nonetheless, it was beautiful. It was so mundane yet so beautiful.

It was very quiet as it was late at night, now. They could only hear a few dogs barking in the distance or the occasional laughs coming from inside the room where Jimin and Jhope sat, drinking. She leaned at the railing of the balcony with the whiskey glass in her hand.

Taehyung moved his hands inside his pocket, taking out a box of cigarettes and a lighter. He offered her a smoke,in response to which he was met with a smile on her face. "Ah, just what unwanted. Thank You.", Younha spoke with a gleam in her eyes as she pulled out a smoke.

He closed the box and kept it back in his pocket as she lit the cigarette. "Aren't you going to light one?", she questioned him as she released the first puff from her mouth, with a sigh of satisfaction taking over her face. "Let's share, if that's okay with you?", he simply replied. She nodded in agreement and took another puff while he looked at her, observing her, closely.

He was now noticing the details which otherwise one could easily miss. The way she used her left to hold the cigarette like it was the most delicate thing in the world even though she was right handed. How her lips wrapped themselves around the bud of the cigarette and sucked on it, her eyes brightening. Her eyes closing briefly, relishing every puff as it hit the back of her throat and how her lips slightly parted to let the smoke out while her as she looked at the sky ahead.

"Since when have you become a left hander?", he asked, tilting his head, not looking away, holding his gaze steady as it moved from her hands to her lips and stayed there.

"I am not. But for some reason, I can only smoke comfortably with my left hand. I like it that way.", she said as she turned to look at him, passing the cigarette to him.

He let out a sigh as she looked at him, realizing he had been holding his breath for the last few seconds. He took the cigarette from her hand, looking away, shifting his gaze to the view ahead.

They stood there in complete silence, taking in the breeze as it hit their faces while enjoying their smoke until he spoke nonchalantly, "I've always wanted myself a girl who I can share my smoke with, in silence, without feeling the need to make a conversation. I can't believe that out of everyone, you're the only one till now who has made it happen."

This made Younha turn to look at Taehyung, in shock as it came out of nowhere. She didn't know how to reciprocate, so she reverted by saying, "Well, who would've thought that we would be standing in your balcony, 6 years later, smoking. Life is all about the *unexpected.*"
