"oh my god johnny. are you 4?"

"no, i am not,"

"well then, how old are you?"

"17."

"16."

johnny smiled briefly at ten before ruffling the younger's hair. ten quickly put his hands up to shield his head.

"what are you doing?" ten yelled lightly.

"well you're just so young and cute. you little baby," johnny teased in a baby voice.

"you big dummy, you're barely older than me."

"but i'm still older than you none the less."

the two boys smiled at each other.

"so, i know you have a thai name but did you grow up here in korea?" johnny asked.

"yeah, i moved here when i was 6, what about you? are you korean?"

"i actually only moved here like 2 years ago. i grew up in america."

johnny noticed ten's eyes light up. 

"america? that's so cool! do you speak english?"

johnny chuckled.

"it's not as cool as you think, korea is much cooler in my opinion. but yeah, i speak english. do you?"

"yeah i do, but i need some practice."

"i'm sure you're great at it." johnny flashed ten a smile, ten melted slightly in his seat.

"wow johnny, you certainly are quite the flirt."

johnny blushed.

"oh, i um, i'm sorry. i- i uh didn't mean anything by it." johnny said.

"calm down chicago, i don't mind."
