"You know, we shouldn't smoke like this," Beomgyu murmured, a playful yet serious smirk playing on his lips as he dragged from his cigarette, eyes locked on Yeonjun. Yeonjun met his gaze, returning the cocky, exhausted smile. "No one cares, beom." "Fair." The two leaned against the rooftop railing, bathed in the cold light of the blank night sky, sharing a comfortable silence. Their bond, forged two years prior in a park amidst shared trauma—Beomgyu’s abuse for his sexuality, Yeonjun’s abandonment by his wealthy family—was unbreakable. Yeonjun, the mature elder, and Beomgyu, the stubborn younger, hid nothing. "You know, Beoms," Yeonjun broke the quiet, "I wonder if this is worth it. Wasting our health for a stick." Beomgyu only replied with a soft, familiar chuckle.
