"hyung!"

minho turned around at the sudden voice and immediately got pulled in a tight hug. the shorter male awkwardly placed his arms around hyunjin's waist too, trying to reciprocate the embrace hesitantly.

they stayed like that for about a minute until hyunjin pulled away and locked his eyes with minho's ones, offering a big smile to him. "hi!"

"hi" minho said quietly and looked down, feeling too shy all of a sudden. hyunjin looked so enthusiastic and excited but the elder felt too awkward to look at him. the younger boy though noticed minho's reluctance and decided to grab his hand reassuringly, giving him a light squeeze to help him calm his tense nerves down.

the older boy stared at hyunjin for a brief moment before looking down at his feet again. "l-let's go." he whispered and gently tugged on the boy's sleeve, pulling him away from chan's house. minho didn't want to risk being seen there with hyunjin. even though chan wasn't there at the moment, he could come home anytime.

the two boys eventually left the area and they were now heading to the center of the town. none of them was talking the whole time but the silence surrounding them wasn't awkward or uncomfortable. they both kinda enjoyed it, just being in each other's company after such a long time without speaking. it was quite cosy.

however, after some minutes of walking around aimlessly, hyunjin stopped on his tracks, causing minho to accidentally bump into his back. the elder stepped back and immediately felt a slight blush decorating his cheeks when he heard hyunjin laughing quietly.

"so hyung" the younger began and looked at his old friend with a small smile on his plump lips. "where do you wanna go?"

minho hummed and awkwardly started playing with his fingers. "um i don't know? you can choose the place, i don't really mind."

hyunjin nodded as he furrowed his eyebrows slightly, trying to think of a place to visit with the shorter boy. suddenly, his face lightened up and a wide smile appeared on his lips. "alright! i found a place! i'm sure you're gonna love it hyung!"

the older boy just smiled slightly and followed behind the taller one who was leading the way.

[...]

"we're here!" hyunjin exclaimed cheerfully and glanced at minho who looked quite surprised. the elder was staring at the place around him in awe with his mouth agape and his eyes widened and sparkly, full of interest and curiosity.

they were standing right in front of the park in which they met many years ago. it was their park, the place that caused that beautiful friendship between them to blossom.

minho felt like he suddenly forgot how to speak as he kept staring at the green area in shock. a faint, nostalgic smile embellished his lips and his eyes were shimmering slightly, small tears brimming at the corners of his irises. he hadn't visited this park in years, the last time he went there being the day he said his last goodbye to the younger boy before leaving to go and live with whom he called his parents.

hyunjin had a small sad smile on his lips as well as he was watching his childhood friend who still looked so enchanted. he had missed everything about him. from his mesmerizing smile and his beautiful, expressive eyes to his contagious laughter and cute whines he made whenever he didn't get what he wanted.

minho had missed his friend as well. he missed how hyunjin's eyes turned into two adorable crescent moons whenever he laughed or smiled widely, he missed the way the younger was clinging to him whenever he felt tired or sad. he missed hyunjin's comforting words and warm voice that always seemed to brush the elder's nervousness and sadness away. he'd missed him so so incredibly much.

the younger of the two slowly started approaching minho, placing his arm softly around his shoulders and pulling him in a loose hug. minho instantly reacted to the gentle action and turned around, facing the taller male with his teary eyes.

"t-thank you for bringing me here again jinnie. i missed this place so much." minho whispered, his voice cracking at the end as he buried his face in hyunjin's neck, tightly hugging him back.

hyunjin laughed quietly, a few tears escaping his eyes as he embraced the older male tightly. "you know, i never visited this place again after you left. i promised myself that i'd only come back here once you returned. and even though i kinda doubted that you'd ever come back at the beginning, thankfully, you are here now and i'm more than just happy to have you in my arms again. i missed you so freaking much hyung."

minho sniffled and pulled away from the hug, staring at hyunjin's shiny orbs which continued sending tears down his rosy cheeks. the shorter pulled his sleeve above his hand and softly wiped the tears off the younger's face, causing both of them to giggle quietly.

"should we go in? i heard there's a small ice cream parlor somewhere in the park that sells really tasty ice creams!" hyunjin said excitedly and grabbed minho's smaller hands tightly.

the elder laughed at his friend's childish behavior and nodded in agreement, squeezing the boy's hands softly. "i hope they have choco mint flavored ice cream as well. it's my favorite."

the taller froze for a second, staring at his friend in disbelief with widely open eyes and mouth agape. "you- you like choco mint ice cream? what the fuck! it literally tastes like toothpaste with chocolate!"

minho gasped and covered his mouth in sock. "what do you mean? it tastes amazing!"

"i'd rather eat toothpaste. it would be like killing two birds with one stone as i'd both taste this disgusting minty flavour and i would also keep my teeth clean and freshened!"

the shorter shook his head in disappointment and crossed his arms in front of his chest, letting out a huff. "i can't believe you! i can't be friends with someone that disgraces choco mint ice cream!"

hyunjin nodded and turned away. "i agree. we shouldn't be friends anymore! goodbye hyung, it was nice meeting you again." he said dramatically and started walking away. however, he didn't manage to go too far as minho instantly grasped his wrist and pulled hyunjin harshly, his back landing on the elder's chest.

"you're not going anywhere jinnie. you promised me ice cream and i'm not letting you go away without giving me my ice cream first!" minho said cutely while squeezing his younger friend in a bone crashing back hug.

hyunjin laughed loudly and tried to pull away but the elder squeezed him more, causing the taller to let out a high pitched yelp. "hyung! you're suffocating me!"

minho giggled and instantly let hyunjin go. "sorry jinnie."

"it's alright hyung. but let's go now. i promised binnie that i'll be back by 9 and he told me that he'd play a really nice movie that i don't wanna miss."

minho let out a chuckle as he wiggled his eyebrows teasingly. "you're so in love with him, aren't you?"

the younger blushed at his friend's words and playfully punched his arm. "shut up. you're more whipped for chan hyung than i am with binnie. you just haven't admitted it yet, none f you. even though you both know that you're madly in love with each other."

minho was the one to blush this time and wanting to avoid talking about this, he grabbed hyunjin's hand and started dragging him inside the park, ignoring the younger's loud mocking laughter. "let's just go get that ice cream jinnie."

he's totally whipped, hyunjin thought and just followed behind his older friend with a stupid smile on his face.
