the spring trip for the third year was in less than a week and currently, taeyong was over at doyoung's room to help him pack up his things for the trip, seeing that the black haired boy had called him to ask for assistance.

during the past two months, there wasn't much that happened. taeyong and jaehyun met up everyday as usual to go eat breakfast at boom cafe. they were still friends, nothing more, nothing less, and despite the fact of being close already, the two became even closer. neither of them mentioned anything about what happened during the break, nor did they bring up anything about their relationship or their feelings, and just enjoyed the past couple months as friends.

though there were many unspoken and undecided things between the two high school students, they decided not to rush anything and just let time decide their fate. so far, they both seemed okay with being just friends for now, even though jaehyun was secretly wanting to be something a bit more. however, instead of mentioning it, he decided that it could wait until taeyong is ready to talk about it in order to not make anything uncomfortable between them.

"do you think i should pack an extra pair of clothes?" doyoung asked taeyong while looking inside his closet for more clothes.

"dude... you already packed three extra outfits, and your reason for them was 'it might rain while we're out' or 'we could get dirty from dirt and mud if it rains'. you do realize that we are inside for half the time and the days where an outside activity is planned is a day with nice weather?" taeyong asked his friends, internally judging the boy for packing so many clothes, half of which the red haired guaranteed that his friend wouldn't be wearing at all.

"we'll be there for an entire week," doyoung said.

"yeah, and you've packed outfits for two weeks! just pack a week's worth of clothes, pajamas, and maybe ONE pair of extra clothes," the red haired boy suggested for his friend. doyoung sighed in response and began to take out clothes from his suitcase that was overflowing with clothes.

the black haired boy took out three shirts, five pairs of pants, four pairs of socks, and a pair of shoes, which he had packed three of them, two of which were tennis shoes and one of which were slippers. taeyong helped his friend put away the clothes that he took out of his suitcase and looked to see if there was anything else the boy could pack as of right now for their trip. looking around the room, the red haired boy grabbed doyoung's hair dryer from his bedside drawer and told his friend to go ahead and pack it.

"everything else is just food, phone charger, and other things that you can probably pack the day before," taeyong said as he zipped up his friend's suitcase and put it somewhere neatly inside his dorm room. jungwoo was currently out with some of their other friends; doyoung said they were in the library studying for an upcoming test.

the red haired boy made himself comfortable on the black haired boy's bed, putting his arm under his head and looked up at the ceiling. seeing his friend comfortable on his bed, doyoung decided to dog pile onto taeyong's stomach by surprise, which almost caused the boy at the bottom to die.

"dude! i almost died!" the red haired boy said as he playfully hit doyoung on his back, since his stomach is faced down onto him. the black haired boy began to fight back and tried to stop himself from getting hit, but is failing miserably.

eventually, doyoung tried to stop taeyong from hitting him by grabbing his wrist, but accidentally pulled him forward when he lost his balance due to his friend. the black haired boy fell back onto the bed while taeyong fell on top of him, both of their eyes widening at what happened next.

taeyong and doyoung's lips were connected.

both boys had their eyes wide open, looking at each other while the space between them was nothing. a few more minutes lingered between them before taeyong had the sense to pull his head away, since he was on top and doyoung didn't have any room to move.

after disconnecting their lips, the red haired boy got off of doyoung and sat down again on the head side of the bed, still out of his mind, while the other still remained laying there, his fingers on his lips, also still out of his mind. the room was so silent that you could hear a pin drop, despite the noise from the neighbors.

doyoung finally sat up and looked at taeyong, fingers still on his lips, shocked at the event that just occurred. both boys finally came to their senses and snapped out of their mind.

"um..."

"uh..."

both boys started to speak in unison, making the situation more awkward than it already is. taeyong noticed that his friend's face was tomato red, and his ears were beginning to turn pink. he would like to believe that it was because the room was cold, but the ac was on and doyoung was wearing shorts and a sleeveless shirt, making the shorter believe that it was because of the kiss.

"well... this is... awkward..." doyoung said slowly, stating the obvious. even taeyong, who is able to stop awkwardness, couldn't prevent it from coming this time because the situation, was indeed, way beyong awkward. the two grew silent again, still sitting on doyoung's bed, facing each other but refusing to look at each other. time seemed to pass by really slowly, silence filling the air, but soon being broken after taeyong began to speak.

"it's only awkward because we're making it awkward... so let's not make it awkward," the red haired boy suggested.

"no duh! but how the hell are we supposed to do that? i legit just lost my first kiss to my best friend! ughhhhh!"doyoung said, scratching the back of his head, which had become a habit he does whenever he is stressed.

"heh... well i didn't..." taeyong said almost inaudibly, but despite doyoung's complaining, the black haired boy was still able to hear.

"i'm sorry... did you just say that i'm not your first kiss?" taeyong's friend asked suspiciously before a smirk started making its way onto the boy's face.

"i-i didn't say that!" tayeong exclaimed. doyoung began to snicker.

"but you implied it. so you lost your first kiss to someone else, huh? maybe someone... who's name starts with j... and is a boy..."

"i didn't kiss jaehyun!" taeyong exclaimed, face now redder than his hair. doyoung began laughing ridiculously loud, making taeyong confused. the black haired boy was laughing so loud that the other thought that everyone in seoul could hear him.

"i never said it was jaehyun. plus, i was going to say jesus, our lord and savior, but..." doyoung nodded his head in approval. "jaehyun works, too."

taeyong's face became redder than it already was, if possible. doyoung started teasing him more, not letting the red haired boy live without being humiliated by the boy at least once. the black haired boy had no idea how long he had teased taeyong for, before deciding it was enough and eventually asked for the whole story. however, while listening to the story of his friend's first kiss, doyoung knew he was supposed to be happy for his friend, but all he felt was jealousy at the fact that not only had his best friend and jaehyun shared their first kiss, but also saw the first snow together, but the black haired boy suppressed his feelings in order to listen to his friend, and forced himself to feel happy for him.
