ONE NIGHT STAND, FOREVER

Seokmin checks the address from inside his car. It's more like a shabby karaoke bar somewhere in the middle of the city where the place doesn't stand out. Well, at least they were more considerate, he thinks. His friends from his old town visit Seoul and ask him over. He doesn't consider them friends anyway. He was just too kind to decline them, that's it. Letting out a big sigh. He parked the car somewhere nearby, he was wearing his casual attire. He makes sure that he won't stand out. In the industry he's been for years, covering and all make you stand out more. Making sure that his car is locked, Seokmin goes straight inside the video place and looks for the room that was reserved for them. He's the only one that is missing since he needs to finish the recording that's scheduled that day. This is the first time that he meet someone outside his work. He feels nervous though he has been friends with this person before, more on being acquaintances rather. He's so busy looking for the room number when he bumps into someone. He immediately bows ninety degrees to apologize. "Sorry." but the guy he bump into just passed by him and didn't even acknowledge his presence. Irritated by the action, he looked at the guy with no intention to run after him. He just wants to see the arrogant guy but he's walking fast and enter one of the room slamming the door on his back. He may have a bad day. Seokmin lost count of how many bottles of soju they've consumed but he can feel his face numb, this is an indication that he's already drunk. He tried to look around looking for familiar persons, he always get drunk around his band member and his manager. Oh God, how will he go home? He was left alone with his car and at this stage, he can't drive anymore. "Lee Seokmin, when will we ever see the love of your life?" Do Jun ask, he's always the person who starts the tease? He doesn't know how the conversation ends up again on his zero love life since birth. "Don't tell me you were still waiting for that spark with someone." with that, the four guys in the room laughed. "I bet you have not gotten your first kiss yet." He doesn't know. He usually has long patience with this kind of teasing but today, he forgot that he is. Is he that drunk? He grabbed the mic and everyone stopped laughing. "I will let go of my first kiss tonight!" drunk Seokmin shouts using the mic from the video room that they were in. "I will not wait for my prince charming anymore to give it! I'm ready! Whoever walks through that door, I will give him my first kiss." he was too drunk and can't even think straight, he don't care. He's done with all the teasing. Not long after a guy, with white long sleeves polo, folded halfway through his elbow harshly open the door. He can't hear what he says, his mind was focused on his idea that whoever it is, he will kiss him. Closing his eyes didn't even bother to look at his face. What if he's an old hag from one of the rooms. Oh, well he doesn't care. His pride is more important than who he is. He run to that guy, grabbed his neck, his height is almost the same as his so he didn't need to exert effort on reaching his lips. When their lips touch, it's sweet. His lips are soft, he can hear everyone was cheering on his back. That encourages him more, he moves his lips, trying to make the kiss deeper. He can taste the bitterness of alcohol and the sweetness of his lips, it's intoxicating. When his tongue enter his mouth, his mind went blank. It's hot. So, this is how the kiss should be? If he knew that it was this good with just any random people, he would've kissed anyone before. The guy kissing him pull him closer by his waist, with him feeling the body of the other make him moan from his mouth. Is it like this? This is how he dreams of his first kiss but not with a random guy. But this is too good to be true. He can't let go. His mind is stopping him, but his body won't. Putting both of his hands on his neck, Seokmin tries to feel more of him. Caressing his neckline with his hand and his hair on the other. His eyes are still closed. He wants to look at him but his eyes are lazy to do so. Aside from the alcohol, the lips of this person make him drunker. His mind posts a warning when the guy lifts him and drags him away from the door of the room without leaving his lips. When he feels the breeze from outside, Seokmin pushes the guy back. He feels like he just woke up with a long sleep. "I'm sorry about that. I was just triggered by..." Seokmin try to fix his clothes he just figures out that three of his button has been freed already. Since when he started undressing me? Shocked by the realization, Seokmin looks at the guy in front of him. He immediately buttons his polo and looks around. My God! What if someone sees him kissing this guy. They were already outside. s**t! His company will skin him alive. "Can we keep it a secret?" after putting his button back to its original place and making himself more presentable. He ready himself to look at the guy with whom he gave his first kiss without even thinking. The guy also fixing his sleeves, the halfway folded sleeves are now fixed and buttoned like how it supposed to be. "Do I look like I will run around and tell everyone that someone from a karaoke room that I just want to shut up just randomly kissed me?" the guy says now fixing his hair. "Well, that was a good kiss but not enough to news about." Seokmin's pride was poked. "Hey! Are you insulting me?" "I said it was good, how can it be an insult?" "But not enough?" "Well, I can only tell how good it was when I bed someone already. I just kissed you, and I already said that it was good. That's more of a compliment already." "Wow! So, do I need to say thank you?" how can this guy be this arrogant. Oh my God! He never knew that there will be this kind of guy living in this world. Brushing his hair roughly, he sighs out his frustration. "Well, you don't have to." the guy fished out the key of his car from his pocket and turn his back on him. He saw a car light up after that.. Hey!" he runs after him. His pride was crashed and this guy dares to just walk away, just like that. How can he insult him? Does he even know who he is? Before grabbing his shoulder the guy turns around and faces him again. "Look, I am frustrated enough to argue. If you won't take responsibility for this hardness. Then, stop following me." with that, Seokmin's eye flies at the other's torso. There's evidence of what he says and with that, Seokmin just swallows whatever words he was about to say. "It's not my fault." he shyly switches his gaze to random things. He can feel his face flushed. He has no experience with this but he's not innocent either. My God, Seokmin, get your grip. What are you doing? Really. "So, whose fault it is?" "You were the one who enter the door, how can you make someone shut up when they were in the karaoke room?!" "And how can you just randomly kiss someone just like that?" Both of them fall silent. They were talking irrationally. After a few minutes, they both burst out laughing. They suddenly realized how foolish the conversation was. They were like kids fighting over something petty. "Joshua." the guy extended his hand on him. "Seokmin." Seokmin accept the hand and that's when he saw his face. He has been in front of him for an hour already. They even shared a kiss but that is the only time when he notice him. His face is small. His eyes are like those eyes from barbie dolls, with his long eyelashes. The way his lips twitch with a smile, he is almost perfect. Well, at least he's not an old hag from somewhere. It's still worth his first kiss. He tried to suppress his smile from what he was thinking but can't. "Mind to share your thoughts?" the guy whose name Joshua cross his arms on his chest while eyeing him intensely. "Well, ahhhhmmmm, I just saw your face. I was afraid that you were an old hag from another room. Seeing you at least, my first kiss is worth giving." "Oooohhhhh, so that was the first kiss huh?" Seokmin can see the amusement in his eyes, he swallow hard when the guy licked his lower lip. "That's not bad for the first time." "Really? Well, thanks." shyly turn to his side. Seokmin looks at the sky and checks his watch. It's just Nine in the evening. He feels like the time he spent with those guys is already long. It's been two hours and he already feels drunk. Well, that may be the reason why he chose to be with his members. The time passed more quickly with them. He suddenly misses them. Checking his phone, he send a text message to their group chat telling everyone that he missed them. "Aren't they're your friends?" Putting back his phone, Seokmin looks in the direction where Joshua looking at. He's looking at the empty front door of the shabby karaoke cafe they've been to. "Well, kinda. They were my classmates in high school." "That's what I'm thinking. If they were your friends, they probably looking for you out here." "I can handle myself." "Care for another round?" Seokmin didn't process the invitation properly, he suddenly hugged himself like he is covering his naked body. "Dirty mind. I'm talking about another drink. Well, I don't also mind if you want to take another round for that kiss." "Hey!" Laugh out loud, Joshua takes the lead to his car. Opening the driver's seat and realizing that Seokmin doesn't follow him, he stops from climbing to his car. "So?" leaning from the car roof, Joshua asks. Seokmin find it attractive. Everything with this guy is attractive, that's a fact. "I have my car with me." he says eyeing his car that was parked at the other side of the parking lot. "Don't tell me you were going to drive with that state." "Well, I'm sober now." "You still drink alcohol." "You also did." "But not enough to kiss someone I don't know." Seokmin just rolled his eyes, putting his keys back in his pocket. He walks forward and climbs onto the passenger seat. He doesn't know this guy but there is something about him that he wants to know more about. He doesn't know where this will lead. This time, it's not the alcohol that drives him anymore it is his curiosity already. After buying some snacks and a can of beers from a convenience store nearby, Joshua's car enters a grand building. It's say's Hong Condominium. If he remembers it right, it's one of the prestigious condos. The room is approximately around 2000 dollars per month if you were going to lease it. "Hey! Wait! This is where you live?" his eyes are still outside, his mouth drops open when the car entente an elevator-like storage room. It's so big that it can fit two cars at a time. His heart almost fell when suddenly the car was lifted. "Do you live here?" "I am not going to bring you home, but yeah, this is where I live just to give you peace of mind." "Really, this is really.. wow!" excitement covers Seokmin's face. He has been dreaming of buying a house here. But for now, he's more comfortable living with his members. He still prefers to live with them. Until the time that they were forced to live apart, he'll enjoy the time being together. Seokmin don't have any idea on how many floors they were lifted, when it stopped and Joshua ready himself to go out of the car, he did the same. It's just a parking lot but you can see how grand the whole building is already. "Let's go." Seokmin just follow Joshua who entered another elevator from the parking lot. "Where are we going?" "Rooftop." They quitely rode the elevator. Seokmin just busies himself from looking at every corner of the room, he saw a camera that is directly capturing him. He suddenly remembers he's an idol. How could he be with someone he doesn't know. It feels like he's someone who's easily dragged. But, he just realized, the guy doesn't recognize him yet. Does he look too normal when not performing? Well, it's a good thing as well. And the guy seems like a foreigner, he can hear the way he talked. Or maybe, he's too busy to watch idols like him. He suddenly feels sulky. Aren't they popular? How could this guy don't recognize him when his billboard and his band members are around the country. He was brought back from his thought when Joshua laugh at his side. "What's funny?" checking the reflection in front of him from the elevator's mirror. "You're cute." Joshua scratches his nose to stop himself from laughing but his smile is still wide. "Well, I knew that already." "Good." that's exactly when the elevator pings open and revealed a grand rooftop. Lights from small bulbs around, with artificial grasses at the side of the pathway. He never saw this on TV when a channel feature the building. Seokmin run to the railings and check the view from there. He can see the city from where he is, if this is a rooftop, they were on the 37th floor, with that thought, Seokmin clench his chest. Wow! We were so high. Suddenly he steps back from the railings the thought of being in a high place suddenly scares him. He was busy calming himself while stepping back when he bumped into Joshua. He stops and leans his back on his chest while doing an inhale and exhale exercise. "You, okay?" Joshua asked, catching his arms. Seokmin feels the electricity from his touch so he quickly stands away from him. "Yes. I almost forgot I am afraid of height." he looks around to distract himself from whatever he's feeling right now. He saw a bench that was made of bamboo at one corner of the place. He runs through it and checks, the specific spot is beautiful. "Can you take a picture of me here?" he asked, however, he did not wait for his response he fished out his phone from his pocket set it and put it in his hand. He fixed himself and try to pose for the photo. He saw Joshua shaking his head but obligingly taking photos of him. He posts for few times and when satisfied, he snatches the phone from Joshua. He looks at the photos taken by him, he knows how to take a good one. "Are you a photographer?" he ask eyes still on his phone zooming some photos to get a better view. "No. I just love taking photos." Joshua passed by him and put the plastic bag that has canned beers and some snacks. Rolling his sleeves again through his elbow, the sight of Joshua opening a canned beer caught his attention. He's graceful. Why does he look like an elite just opening that beer? When he brought the can to his mouth, Seokmin forgets what he was doing, his eyes focus on him. The way his jaw moves when drinking and his adam's apple moving up and down makes him swallow something that is building up from inside him. "Do you know it's rude to look at someone intensely like that?" Joshua asks, without facing him. He puts down his beer and opens one of the snacks. "Well, do you know that you look expensive even you were just drinking a canned beer from a convenience store?" he asked back. He put his phone back again in his pocket and join the other at the bench. He open his beer and leaned down after sipping some. He wants to look at the sky. It's so clear and the stars are not hiding. The moon can't be seen but it gives enough light to the stars. "I'll take that as a compliment. Thank you." Joshua copied him and look at the sky as well. Resting his hand on his stomach, he takes a side glance. "Are you rich?" he don't want to get awkward so he ask, even he thought it was a stupid question. "My parents are." "Ohh, a typical rich guy who's not happy with his parent's money." "I want to make my own. Of course." "Well, if you were working with your family, that's still considering making your own. Unless you were not working at all." "Well, I want a different profession." "Yeah, sometimes you won't get what you like to do. The thing is how you will embrace what was given to you. In that way, you will love the things you were doing even you were not doing what you like from the start." he put his hand under his head and use that as a pillow, leaning more of his weight at the backrest of the bench that they were in. He glance at him and when he won't have any plan on answering, he continued. "Am I considered to be lucky when I am doing what I like to do? Actually, at first no. It's hard. It's been a rough road. To the point that I am almost hating it. I just want to go back but, every light that will lead me to a different path is already off. At that moment, I only have the thing I like to do and myself. Then, I tried to not like it. I try to love it. I embrace the hardship it will throw. And by then, I got to enjoy it more. No greediness. Just love. It's a less burden that way." "Yeah, I think I have to love it now since I know I will be stuck with this forever." Joshua answered after a long silence. He empties his beer and opens a new one. "I'll cheer for you then." he says, making a toast. Joshua accepts it and they drink their beers at the same time. He growls from the bitterness and cold of the beer that runs through his throat. "You look like a well-off gentleman. What are you doing in that shabby karaoke bar?" he suddenly feels the need to change the topic. "Well, who would've thought that a well-known celebrity will also be in that place and will kiss random people who will enter their room?" Joshua bites back. Seokmin almost spits the beer on his mouth. "Wait, you know me?" "Who wouldn't? I may not be here for quite some time but I still saw your face around not to remember or know you." "I am just under the impression that rich people only watch anything related to stocks, business, golf, or any other expensive things." "That's not wrong either. But more than a businessman, I am more of my profession though I am not putting it into practice." "What? The way you talk is so mysterious. I can't process everything that you were trying to say." Joshua laughs at him for that. The crease from his forehead got deep. When he did that Joshua starts laughing again, harder than he did. " Do I look like a laughing stock or anything?" he's not hurt but he wants to act in front of him. He's like this with his members but not with everyone else. He's surprised by himself. He is usually the shy type one. He still can't figure out why he followed him here. Of course not. I just find it cute when your face won't hide that you really can't understand something." clearing his throat after laughing, Joshua lift his beer again and empty the second can. "That was a good laugh I never had for years honestly, thank you." Joshua gets another can of beer. "Are you trying to get drunk? I don't have my car with me and have nowhere to sleep. You need to bring me back where you got me." "You can sleep in my house. I have a spare room. No worries, I don't do it with drunk people." "I am not worried about that." "What then?" "It's already unusual for me to be here. I don't know what I am thinking but this is not me. Then, I will sleep with a stranger's house, not enough that I already kiss a stranger." "Am I still a stranger? I thought we settle that already earlier." "Excuse me?" "You knew I'm Joshua." "I'm not getting how your mind works." Joshua laughs again, with that Seokmin pouts. He feels like an i***t in front of him. "Can you stop laughing at me?" "Alright. I am sorry." he wiped the tears from his eyes. He is laughing hard and those tears were the evidence. "Let's change the topic. I am just curious. Am I your first kiss?" "Yes." he says straightforwardly then emptied his first can of beer to open his second. "At that age? Really?" Joshua look at him intently like he was finding something from his face, like any proof that he was lying. "Yes. And I don't plan to give it like that but, those punks are just pushy." "How was it?" "What?" "How was the kiss? I already told you that for me it's quite good." "I don't know how it is, I don't have anyone to compare, do I?" "Well, you don't have to compare, you just need to tell me how it's like." "It's good. For the first time, It feels good. I wonder that if I knew that it will be that good, I would've kissed anyone before. I just thought that the kiss will just be full of lust when you try it with someone you don't love." "Oh, so you like fairytales?" "I do. I want my first to be my last but that was not the case anymore. It feels good to go outside your comfort zone now and then. Being this wild, it's thrilling." "Yeah, it's thrilling. I want to feel that thrill again." He don't know how fast the time passed. Joshua already finished his eight bottles and he was on his fourth. He doesn't usually drink hard with anyone other than the members so, he really can't figure out why he feels so drunk earlier. "Let's go. I will give you your room for tonight." Joshua stands however he can sense that he can't handle himself anymore. The way he speaks also evidence that this time he's drunk. The guy can't walk straight but he's still stable. He wants to help him but he hesitates. That's when Joshua almost fell when he stepped on a piece of rock. Thankfully he was just a few inches away. He catches him on time. "Thank you." His face is so near he can smell him. His hot breath fanning his face makes him blush. "You were blushing." Joshua caress his cheeks and with that, he felt that electricity again. Was this what they called spark? "Do you want to hear a secret? The kiss was not good, it's awesome." Joshua keeps staring at him, checking every inch of his face. His hand is still busy caressing his cheeks while the other was on his shoulder where he originally place it to support his weight to be more stable. "And having you near like this, I want to take those lips again." His hand slides down from his cheeks to the corner of his lips. "Can I?" he asks eyes switching from his eyes to his lips. He doesn't know how to answer. He's asking himself as well, would he like to give it again to this guy? But his body reacts faster than his mind. He unconsciously closes his eyes and readies himself for that kiss. In no time, he can feel the lips of Joshua on his. First, it's just a soft kiss. Like he's testing him. like he's just tasting him. Then, he makes their lips apart, he doesn't know what he was doing since he keeps his eyes closed. After a few more seconds, he felt his lips again. This time, it's wetter. More aggressive than the first one, he's biting his lower lips. The kiss consists of the small bites in between kisses that make him moan. He keeps moaning inside his mouth. He slightly opens his mouth to give way for his tongue to explore inside. When his tongue touches him, it gives a shiver. That makes his hand grab his neck. He wants the kiss deeper. He wants more, more than this. He felt Joshua's hand inside his polo. He can feel his hand caressing the skin from his waist. For a brief moment, Joshua takes their lips apart and wiped the corner of his lips. "Look at me," he says but he doesn't want to open his eyes. It feels like everything will stop if he did. "Come on. Look at me." he grab his chin to look at him, by that he opened his eyes. He saw his face. Flushed, he doesn't know if it's because of the alcohol but he is blushing. It looks cute. "Tell me to stop now, if you won't, I won't accept anything after this." He asked himself, does he want this to stop? He is not thinking rationally. He has been from the time he goes out of his house to be with those punks whom he doesn't consider as friends to kissing someone who opens the door of their room. Will he stop it now? It's so good that he can't stop. Not thinking about the other consequences, he put his hand at the back of Joshua's neck again. Caressing the hair from there. When Joshua finally figures out that he doesn't have any plan to stop this, he claims his lips once again. And this time, it's hotter. It's bolder. With a few more steps, they were already inside the elevator, his arm is snaked around Joshua's neck he don't want to be apart just for a brief second. He saw him push a no-number button from the elevator and with that, a few seconds later the elevator pings open. He's too busy with the kiss but he saw the place they've arrived at. It's like a living room of a house already. Wait. Was the elevator built to go straight to his home? How rich is he, actually? Joshua distracted him by caressing his back. He was dragged to one of the sofas in that room. His eyes are now open trying to check the room they were in but Joshua was selfish. He won't let him. He make sure that he's focused on what they were doing. Joshua sat down on the sofa and he let him seat on his lap. His legs were wide open against his body and every time it bump into his, make his mind went wild. They were still sharing the hot kisses, now and then Joshua will leave his lips to plant a mouthed kiss on his neck, under his ear, and to his cheek. He doesn't know how or when, but he doesn't feel the clothes on his body anymore. He can feel his hand reaching every skin that he can. "Do you feel okay?" Joshua asks looking up at him since, in their position, he seems like he is taller. "Yeah." he answered, trying not to moan by the pleasure his hands gave him. His hand now caressing and playing with one of his n*****s. When it was first touched, he feels like he was about to burst right there and then. It's his first time but he is not a saint that he never tried to touch himself before. "Do you touch yourself before?" still eyes focus on him, Joshua asks and waits for his answer. His hand is still busy caressing him. Pinching, playing every skin of his. "Yes." he's already delirious with the pleasure that those hands giving him. He feels like he will c*m anytime soon. He can feel his member twitching inside his pants wants to get freed and touch. "Show me then." "What?!" he was so shocked by the order. Is he asking me to do it by himself in front of him.
