16: Date

Just a short filler chapter.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

It was a quiet early morning on July 10th, when Yunho drove San to the same government office where he had taken Hongjoong to earlier. They filled out the same application form to become an official member of the pack, and left it in the hands of a police officer.

Back at the pack house later that day, San received new clothes as a birthday present from all four, making him more than happy to fill out his empty closet next to Hongjoong's overflowing one. Although, Hongjoong's clothes actually filled most of the two closets, but there was still a little bit of room left for San's new ones.

San had also applied to the same high school that Yunho, Mingi and Yeosang went to. But because of missing the first two years, he would start from year one this fall, while the other three would start their third and final year.

Yunho had also received a letter from the government earlier, confirming that he was now Hongjoong's legal owner. And another one later, to confirm that he had been added as a pack member officially.

His baby was so cute, wearing a pink sweater with light washed jeans, and his beautiful bright red hair, Yunho thought, admiring him.

"Are you ready?" Yunho asked.

"Yeah." Mingi answered, taking Yunho's hand in his and following him up to his car.

"I want to surprise you, so can I blindfold you baby?" Yunho asked.

"Y-yeah." Mingi gulped and closed his eyes for no reason.

Yunho took the soft sleeping mask, with a cute animal face on it, out of his pocket and put it on Mingi, fixing his hair a bit afterwards and petting his head.

"Happy birthday Mingi." Yunho said and kissed him, before putting his seatbelt on for him and closing the door.

Mingi and Yunho had been walking and running around, hand in hand, in the amusement park for an hour now and trying out different rides. And currently they were queuing up to a scary looking ride, that Mingi had whined he wanted to go to for like ten minutes now.

As they were standing in line, Mingi noticed they were gathering some looks, either because they were both Alphas holding hands or because of Mingi's colorful outfit and mixed scent, and it was making him feel weird and nervous.

"Is that guy an Alpha or an Omega?" Mingi heard someone whisper behind him distantly.

What if they're talking about me, he worried. Mingi had his wolf ears out, unlike Yunho, who probably couldn't hear them.

"The other one's an Alpha so of course he's an Omega."

"But we can't see his eyes from here, they could still both be Alphas."

Mingi whined a bit under his breath and tightened his hold on Yunho's hand.

"Is something wrong baby?" Yunho asked, worried.

"I'm scared." Mingi lied.

"We don't have to go, I told you you'd ditch out eventually." Yunho reminded him playfully.

"Sorry." Mingi answered while avoiding his gaze.

"Why are you sorry, you did nothing wrong?" Yunho asked, growing worried again.

"I-I want to go somewhere else." Mingi pouted at Yunho, changing the subject.

"Let's go to the arcade section then, we haven't been there yet today." Yunho offered and Mingi nodded.

Yunho then led Mingi to the arcade, where they played some games against each other, and Yunho was happy to see Mingi smiling and laughing again.

"I want a plushie." Mingi spoke up after he had been staring at the claw machine behind Yunho for a while.

Yunho of course agreed, relieved that he had remembered to bring cash, and after eight tries they managed to get Mingi a cute otter plushie, which he was happy to receive and carry around.

Yunho noticed that Mingi had started behaving weirdly again, after they had left the arcade to go to the next thing Yunho had planned out.

He smelled nervous, a bit bitter, his hand was sweating in his slightly, and his gaze wasn't focused on anything particular.

"What's wrong baby?"

"Nothing." Mingi avoided his gaze again.

"Are you hungry?" Yunho thought now was a good time to get Mingi away from the crowd at least.

"A bit, yeah." Mingi admitted.

"You can pick the restaurant."

"I want a burger."

"Okay, I'll have the same as you then, but let's go somewhere else than that fast food restaurant you're staring at." Yunho said and dragged the confused Mingi to the other side of the amusement park.

~

"Let's eat here, it's a bit fancier than the other one but still has burgers." Yunho explained proudly, he had learned all the restaurants and menus beforehand.

"Okay." Mingi agreed.

They sat down at a table Yunho had picked out, somewhere as private as possible.

The restaurant was more quiet than the other ones, because who would pay twice the amount for the same food you can have just ten minutes away from it.

After the waitress had taken their orders for two burgers and two orange sodas, Yunho's heartbeat started to pick up. This was the perfect timing as the food would take a while to arrive.

"Mingi." Yunho spoke up to get his attention.

"Yes?"

"You know how precious you are to me right?" Yunho nervously asked.

"Yeah, you've told me like fifty times already..."

"Because you deserve it. And I got you a gift to show it too."

"I thought the date was my gift, and the food, and the plushie." Mingi spoke shyly.

"I have one more."

"Really?" Mingi was genuinely surprised.

"Yes. Give me your hand."

"I-it's not a r-ring, is it?" Mingi's hand was shaking but he offered it to Yunho anyway, his left hand, just in case.

"Not yet." Yunho internally panicked, how did he quess.

"I have something else first." Yunho started, holding Mingi's left hand in his.

"Will you be my boyfriend?" Yunho asked, smiling gently.

"Y-yes. B-but I thought we were already together." Mingi answered, looking like a lost puppy who was about to cry.

"We were, but now we're officially boyfriends." Yunho confirmed and finally took the ring from his pocket.

"You lied." Mingi pouted.

"I said not yet."

"I thought that meant like next year." Mingi said, still pouting.

"As if I could wait that long." Yunho said and placed the ring in Mingi's left ring finger.

"I got myself one too." Yunho shyly admitted and took out a second one.

"Can I put it on you?" Mingi asked.

"Of course." Yunho answered and Mingi gently took his left hand into his and placed the ring there.

The rings were identical. Silver colored, with squared edges and a thin indent running around the whole ring.

"I like them." Mingi told his boyfriend.

"Yeah, me too." Yunho answered back.
