my prince // seungjin

16 date

Before we head into this chapter I wanted to say that Hyunjin has no idea where any of his actions are coming from most of the time. He acts before he thinks and doesn't even register it after a while. So please keep this in mean if you're confused with Hyunjin's character in this chap. also edited to the best of my capabilities, Onwards!

"Hello, what can I get you today?" A male worker greeted the three.

Seungmin smiled. "Hi, could we get a small double scoop, one cookie-n-cream, and the other chocolate?" Seungmin waited for the worker to type it into the tablet then continued. "And could I also get a small single scoop of mint chocolate please," He then turned to Hyunjin. "My prin- Hyunjin, would you like anything?"

Hyunjin gave Seungmin a surprised look. "Did you just-"

"There are too many people here and even though your clothes are quite flashy. I rather not have the entire block know that the prince is in town, unprotected." Seungmin quickly whispered. "My apologies for not addressing you properly but I prefer if you didn't die when I'm out with you."

Hyunjin smiled. "Don't worry about it, I gave you permission to call me by my first name anyway." He then turned to the cashier. "I would like to get a small single scoop of matcha, please, and thank you."

"Alright, that'll be eleven dollars and eighty-nine cents. Would you like to pay by cash or card?"

"Card." Hyunjin replied as he got his card out to swipe.

Seungmin tried to grab the card out of the prince's hands. "My pri- Hyunjin what do you think you're doing?! I was the one who offered Hyunsul ice cream! I should be the one paying!"

Hyunjin swiftly swiped the card and successfully paid for their cold treats. "But I've also got something for myself and I already had my card out."

"Then I'll just pay you back." Seungmin took out his wallet, only for it to be put back in his pockets. "Hey!"

"Consider it my treat. Use your money on something else." Hyunjin insisted. Like I'm letting you spend a penny.

"But that's not-" Seungmin tried to pay his and Hyunsul's portion back, only to get interrupted.

"Double scoop of cookie-n-cream and chocolate, single scoop matcha, and single scoop gof mint-choco!" Another employee shouted.

"Mama, Papa, our ice creams are ready!" Hyunsul excitedly squealed as he dragged the two to the pick-up station. The worker handed them their respective order. "Whaa~ this is sho good!" Hyunsul ate the ice cream in delight.

"I'm glad you like it." Hyunjin smiled. "Now that you got your ice cream, let's get mama some clothes."

The little star nodded in agreement. "Mhm! Mama can't wear ripped clothes, need new clothes!"

Seungmin looked at his semi-torn shirt and dirtied trousers. "I guess you two are right, I can't walk around like this all day."

"Then what are we waiting for?! Let's get going before all the shops close!" Hyunjin stated as he lifted Hyunsul in his arms while carrying his ice cream. Then grabbing Seungmin's hands, leading them out the door and to the parking lot.

Getting to the shopping plaza was quite a ride. When they first got into the car, Seungmin and Hyunjin had a minor argument about who was going to drive. But it ended up with Hyunjin being the driver. While driving to their destination, they almost got into a car crash. But the prince wasn't at fault. There was a reckless driver who drove past the red light at the intersection. Luckily no one was injured since the car had a built-in stopping mechanism. Seungmin almost banged his head on the dashboard due to the sudden halt, if it wasn't for Hyunjin stretching out his arm to prevent Seungmin from jerking forward any further.
