Asphyxiated
(v.) [past tense] to suffocate; to be smothered

As his gaze traveled upwards, he swore that time had come to a halt. His heart pounded mercilessly against his ribcage as his breathing became labored. He tried to regulate his breathing, but it only worsened. Then, to his dismay, warm, dark hazel eyes bore into his own, and pearly white teeth were exposed in a bright smile; his smile was suffocating.

His palms began to perspire when the boy drew closer to him, his smile broadening.

“Kiseop-ah,” he greeted, his voice as smooth as velvet. (1) Kiseop swallowed harshly, his frantic eyes refusing to leave the boy standing in front of him.

“Soohyun-ssi,” he replied hesitantly, his voice weak from the lack of oxygen. (2)

“Why so formal, Kiseoppie~?” Soohyun asked as he slung his arm over Kiseop's shoulders, who immediately tensed at the contact. Kiseop then realized that he had stopped breathing altogether, which concerned the older boy.

“Kiseop-ah, are you okay? Kiseop?” he inquired, his voice filled with worry.

“Fine,” Kiseop choked out before he squirmed away from Soohyun. Kiseop refused to meet Soohyun's gaze, and the older boy frowned.

“Kiseop?” he called again..

“I need to go.” Before he turned around, Kiseop glanced at Soohyun, and he immediately wished that he hadn't. Despair and hurt were etched into Soohyun's face, and the scene caused Kiseop's heart to thud; however, Kiseop could only walk away.

Soohyun was breathtaking, that was for sure, but it was too much for Kiseop. Even just the sound of the older boy's name was enough to make breathing difficult for Kiseop. Soohyun had never done him any wrong, he had always been the perfect person to Kiseop, but Kiseop found it physically tolling to be around him. Soohyun was suffocating him, and Kiseop hated him for that.

End
