"hey, hoseok. do you remember the first time we met? there was a big storm just like tonight."
"i remember," a faint smile came from the boy that stood alongside baek nana, blowing smoke out of the side of his mouth before taking another drag from his cigarette. it was freezing, but they didn't give a damn; all they cared about was having their final smoke for the night.
hoseok peered over to his side, watching nana lean against the balcony railing and admire the view of the city below. he chuckled with a slight smirk, "you and your red dress."
"oh, shut up," nana scoffed, taking the last cigarette from her pack and placing it between her lips. she held her hand out and pointed at the lighter that sat on the small table behind them, before hoseok took it and held it up to the end of her cigarette, lighting it. "you were only trying to impress jeongguk, weren't you?"
her eyes widened, and she quickly took the cigarette out of her mouth, choking and coughing out the smoke. her eyebrows furrowed and she wiped her mouth before hitting him in the arm. "i was trying to impress you, you asshole!"
this only earned laughs from him, but it quickly faded after he flicked his cigarette off the balcony. "speaking of," he paused, his tone angrier, "little fucker is locking me out after tonight."
"what, why?" nana leaned onto the wall, taking the same cigarette between her lips, lighting it herself this time. "he's mad that i've been eating all of his food . . . and i haven't been paying my share of the rent—" nana laughed a bit harder than expected. "i don't blame him, 'seok, you have to pay your damn rent." hoseok sucked his teeth, crossing his arms and raising his upper lip in response. "i don't need you to tell me that."
nana took her final drag before flicking the cigarette of the balcony. "where is he now?"
hoseok sighed, "don't know," and turned, his back on the railing, "probably at some gay bar or some shit." he followed his girlfriend back inside of the sliding door, closing it behind them and plopping on the couch beside her. "i don't really give a fuck, anyway. this place is a shit hole."
nana chuckled and placed her head on his shoulder as he slithered his arm around her. when his fingers were inched to her hips, then her thighs, and his thumb placed right under her chin, she couldn't help but remember. nana remembered the first time they met, too.
it was cold, colder than anyone would have expected gwangju to be. a friend of hers from high school invited her out to one of his shows downtown. he was from busan, a very manly individual, and music was one of the things that he admired the most. frankly, nana didn't have that much of a liking to it, at least to his type of music. "c'mon, nana, it'll be fun. and my other friend from busan is coming."
"jeongguk?"
"mmm. the guy he's crashing with is coming too. he's from here, you'd like him." and he was right, she did enjoy the boys especially from her town. she needed a country boy, grew tired of seeing all of the boys from other cities.
when nana arrived at jimin's gig, she didn't expect so many people to come. she spotted jeongguk in the back of the crowd with someone, who she assumed to be his gwangju friend, standing beside him with a drink in his hand.
"yah, baek nana." she didn't know how he knew her name, and still to this day didn't learn how. but she didn't care because of how nicely his t-shirt fit on his long torso, and because of how hot he looked with his cap turned backwards on his head. he was tall, and she didn't realize how infatuated she was.
it's hard to describe in words what came over me that night. it wasn't as simple as love or excitement. more like jealousy mixed in with envy . . . and lust.
i still get insecure every now and then. because it feels like every day i spent with hoseok is nothing but a dream. hoseok was a glamorous bright light shining into my boring, mundane world. but no matter how hard i tried he always seemed to be out of my reach.
