donghyuck couldn't sleep that night.

the boy was sure that it was because he had stayed on his phone too late.

or perhaps it was because he didn't actually want to sleep?

anyway, he was lying on his bed, at 1a.m., perfectly awake.

one other thing contributed to preventing him to fall asleep.

the noise outside.

it seemed like their neighbours were having the party of their life.

donghyuck had fought against the urge to walk to his window and push the curtains open to peek at what a party would look like.

the sounds of it intrigued him a lot.

he had never been to a party.

not that he was sad about it.

he actually never wanted to go to a party.

but donghyuck was a curious child.

he liked knowing everything.

and the fact that he didn't know what a party looked like bothered him a slight bit.

another electro song started blasting from their neighbour's house, making donghyuck change his mind and stand up.

his parents were fast asleep, and they were such heavy sleepers that even a loud party couldn't wake them up.

donghyuck wore his fluffy slippers before making his way to the closed window.

donghyuck looked behind the blue curtain, his eyes squinting because of the sudden light.

the house just next to theirs were lit as if they were at versailles, and people were filling the house.

donghyuck had a glimpse of the insides of the house thanks to the bay window that was open. all he could see was sweaty bodies, grinding and dancing madly to a sick beat while holding red cups, surely filled with not-so-innocent drinks.

donghyuck didn't know why, but he ended up opening the window, immediately slamming his hands onto his ears when the noise outside deafened him.

not only the sound, but the smell made him frown.

it was smelling sweat, mixed with something hot and smoky, but donghyuck couldn't pinpoint what it was exactly.

looking around, donghyuck met eyes with a boy that was looking at him straight in the eyes.

he was standing in his neighbour's garden, leaning on the fence that separated donghyuck and his neighbour's properties.

he had a cigarette in his left hand, and he often placed it between his lips to take a drag of it, never breaking his eye contact with donghyuck.

donghyuck had to admit that the boy looked hot, dressed in all black leathery clothes, smoking a cigarette, his hair covering his forehead, and partly his sharp eyes.

donghyuck stared at the boy who took another drag of his cigarette.

he gulped.

he was mesmerized by their intense staring contest.

but he was a shy nature.

donghyuck broke the eye contact after what felt like hours. he closed the window and pulled the curtains once again, jumping back on his bed right after.

he placed his hand onto his chest, trying to calm his beating heart.

what had just happened to him?

☠

"mark! there you are!" a tall blonde boy walked to the younger with a red cup in his hand. "we've been searching for you!"

"yeah." mark replied, placing the cigarette between his lips. "did you need something, johnny?"

"have you found someone to fuck yet?"

mark rolled his eyes, taking another drag of the cancer stick.

"if you haven't, don't worry. we found a few girls that may fit your criteria. come with me."

johnny walked away, thinking that mark was following him closely.

he turned around after a few steps, frowning when the other boy wasn't behind him.

he walked back to where mark was.

"you're coming?" he asked.

"yeah." mark replied. "i'm here."

and so, mark left the fence he was leaning in, giving one last peek to the window where he had seen this cute brunette looking at him cluelessly.
