You were never a fan of cigarette smoke, especially during the summer. With the air thick and humid, the smell just intensified and worsened to you. You honestly couldn't know why someone would enjoy smoking.

You were never a fan of kissing smokers either, to you they tasted like the ash on the ashtray-you never tried the ash on the ashtray, but you can assume it tasted like their mouths-. Smoking to you was not attractive at all, and it would never be attractive to you.

When you began dating the smoking coach, you were tempted to tell him to eat mints before he kissed you. But perhaps that was a bit ridiculous, you weren't really sure. Of course smoking wasn't something that would make you leave a person. Keishin was nice and extremely attractive after all, although he would seem rather harsh at times.

However, when he kissed you it didn't taste like you were licking the bottom of an ashtray. While he did smell like smoke most of the time, you surprisingly weren't repulsed by it. Smoking still wasn't attractive or something you liked, but you didn't mind when he did it.

When summer came, the heat and humidity made the air thicker as always. While Keishin was busy at the training camp for the high school's near his shop volleyball team, you were busy with family throughout most of that time.

You almost missed the smell of the smoke from his cigarettes, a phone call or text almost made you needy for that smell.

Perhaps the summer haze wasn't too bad, you thought when you finally saw him again.
