donghyuck didn't know how, but he ended up by mark's side, on a leather couch as the music was blasting around them.

donghyuck was once again to a party.

two days after his first party ever.

this time, he tried being more reasonable.

he didn't chug down the whole drink in one go.

and he asked for something light.

beer – tasted like shit, but couldn't get you drunk easily.

"donghyuck! you're here again!" ten exclaimed as he took a seat next to donghyuck on the leather couch, making mark pull the boy more against his side.

"apparently." the teenager chuckled, taking a quick sip of the weird-tasting brewage.

"mark, the guys are in the room upstairs if you need any of us."

"what are you doing?" he asked.

ten shrugged, gulping the content of his red cup in one go.

"smoking and stuff."

mark nodded. "we're coming."

"i'll tell the others."

ten left the two boys alone on the leather couch.

"let's go?" mark asked, kissing donghyuck's temple.

donghyuck wasn't really used to parties, so he nodded and followed the older.

mark intertwined their hands in order tomake sure donghyuck followed him.

they climbed up the stairs, and mark opened a door, closing it right away when he saw two persons fucking in there. they took a few steps forwards, and there were mark's friends, sitting on the floor on a circle.

"we were waiting for you." yuta said, inviting them in before closing and locking the door.

"yeah, and we won't share with the others down here." jaehyun nodded, lighting himself a cigarette.

mark and donghyuck took place in the circle, staying unnecessarily close to each other.

mark eventually lit himself a cigarette as well, looking as yuta pulled out different bags of powder.

donghyuck stared at the boys fighting for a bag of powder that looked awfully like flour. he didn't really understand what that could be.

taeyong was the first to place the containment of his bag on a nearby table, placing it in a line before sniffling it.

donghyuck frowned at this action, not understanding how taeyong could claim feeling good right after.

"what's the problem, baby?" mark ask, a new pet name slipping.

donghyuck looked at the boy who was crushing his cigarette in the ashtray. "it's weird."

"what is weird?" mark pulled out another cigarette.

"taeyong. he sniffs things." donghyuck explained, looking at johnny who was about to do the same thing.

"that's cocaine." mark chuckled. "it's a drug. it makes you feel good after you do it." mark explained, lighting the cigarette.

"can i feel good too?" donghyuck asked.

"not today, baby. this is for later. you need to start with something less... toxic."

donghyuck nodded, looking at johnny claiming that he was seeing stars before collapsing into ten's arms and kissing him hungrily.

the room was getting smoky because of the smoke emitted by the boys who were smoking.

it was getting hotter as well, and it was already pretty loud since half of them was high, and the others were drunk.

as much as donghyuck tried to stay sober, he had taken a few sips from mark's death drink, and that had made him slightly tipsy.

not that he minded though, because that had allowed him to share a few sloppy kisses with mark. and he enjoyed that very much.

"can i try?" donghyuck asked, cutting mark in his conversation with taeyong.

"huh?" mark looked down at the boy.

"smoking." donghyuck explained, his eyes on the cigarette.

mark blew the smoke out above donghyuck's head.

"of course."

mark handed donghyuck his cigarette, donghyuck examining the cancer stick carefully.

he lifted it to his lips, taking a quick drag out of it before couching madly.

mark chuckled as donghyuck caught the other boys' attention.

"you have to inhale it." mark explained. "allow it to travel through your insides. don't stop it."

donghyuck nodded, taking another sip of mark's drink to stop his couching.

then, he placed the cigarette between his lips again, taking a longest drag, and making the deathly substance fill his inside. he blew the smoke out after a long second, looking at mark in the eye while doing so.

"how was it?" mark asked with a smile.

"so good..." donghyuck replied dreamily.

and so, for the rest of the night, mark and donghyuck shared their cigarette, staying closer than they ever were.
