E i g h t - A Magic Moment

Renjun and Jaemin walked together to the park.

"Is this where you bring all your romantic conquests?" Renjun laughed, looking at Jaemin, a sparkle in his eye.

"Every single one of them." Jaemin flashed his flirty smile towards Renjun.

"Probably why I'm still a virgin." Renjun laughed, elbowing him.

"You can't be a virgin.. Are you really?" Jaemin picked up a stick from the dirt and drew a huge circle in it.

"See? This is the circle of virgins..." Jaemin now drew a smaller circle in the huge circle.

"And this... this is 18 year old dudes with one leg." Renjun laughed, Jaemin's point was made.

Jaemin grabbed his hand softly, helping him walk up a tiny hill.

Once they reached the top, Jaemin layed a blanket down on the ground.

They sat as they looked at an odd sculpture- A set of giant white bones where children could play.

"'Funky bones' by Joep Van Lieshout." Jaemin explained.

"He sounds Dutch." Renjun looked at Jaemin.

"And he is, just like Rik Smits... And tulips." Renjun raised his eyebrow at Jaemin.

He was definitely taking the Amsterdam/Dutch thing way too far.

Jaemin took out some sandwiches and orange juice from the picnic basket.

"Sandwich?" Jaemin offered.

"Let me guess-" Jaemin nodded.

"Dutch cheese and tomato." Renjun took one of the sandwiches.

"The tomatoes are Mexican though, sorry." Renjun laughed.

They ate for a second, their eyes watched the children play on the bones.

"How cool, a skeleton used as a playground." Jaemin bit his sandwich, still looking at the playing children.

"You sure do love your symbols and metaphors." Renjun laughed looking at the male.

"Speaking of which..." Jaemin stood up, taking a cigarette and putting it between his lips.

"You're probably wondering why you're sitting here eating a horrible cheese sandwich and drinking orange juice with a dude in a Rik Smits jersey." Renjun looked up at Jaemin, a small smile on his face.

"It has crossed my mind.."

"Huang Renjun, like many before you- I say this with love but.. you spent your wish- Hmm, how do I say this kindly..? Moronically." Jaemin looked down at the boy that still sat on the ground.

"I was thirt-" Renjun tried to defend himself.

"Hush! I'm in the middle of a grand soliloquy here." Jaemin dramatically interrupted.

"You were young, the grim reaper staring straight at you and the fear of dying with your one true wish left ungranted forced you to rush into making one you didn't really want, for how could little Huang Renjun, having never read 'An imperial affliction' ever know that his one true wish was to meet Mr. Jung Jaehyun in Amsterdam." Renjun nodded in agreement, listening carefully to every word while eating the weirdly delicious tasting cheese sandwich.

"If you were clever, you would've saved your wish for when you knew your true self." Jaemin stopped talking leaving Renjun confused.

"But.. I didn't save it.." Jaemin smiled.

"Good thing I saved mine." Renjun cocked his head to one side.

What is he talking about?

"Are you saying-" Renjun started to realise.

"I'm not giving you my wish or anything... but I also want to meet Jung Jaehyun and it wouldn't make sense if I met him without the boy that introduced his book to me, would it?" Renjun's eyes widened.

"I talked to the genies and they're allowing it. We leave on the third of May." Renjun was so excited, he grabbed Jaemin and pulled him into a hug.

Their faces were close, their lips inches apart and just when it looked like something would happen Renjun moved his head back.

"Wait a minute, are you doing this only so I can kiss you?" Jaemin blinked a few times.

"I'd totally kiss you either way." And Renjun does kiss him, Jaemin was surprised.

When it was over, they sat back as they looked at eachother.

A magic moment.

"Seriously... Why are you doing this?" Renjun asked looking at Jaemin who had his flirty smile plastered on his face.

"Because Huang Renjun... I got my wish." Renjun was beyond touched.
