"Jaehyun!"

Jaehyun stops at his tracks by hearing his name. The voice was familiar. It was Taeyong's voice. He could feel his heart beat increasing again and all the butterflies having a war in his stomach.

Jaehyun never admits but he does have a small crush on Taeyong or maybe even more. He turns around to spot Taeyong waving his right hand and running towards him in the hallways.

He soon stops in front of him.

"Down to the earth!" Taeyong said lightly hitting his head. Jaehyun gets flustered and looks away to hide his red face. "H-hey." He mentally curse himself for stuttering.

"Uhm I know this is kind of awkward but since we're roomates now and will be seeing each other often, I thought why not to get to know each other better?" Taeyong suggested rubbing his back of the neck.

"Yah sure why not?" Jaehyun replied showing his illegal dimples. Yes his dimples are illegal. God knows how many girls and boys he had already killed from his dimples.

"Ok cool. Be ready at 4 this evening. We'll be going to my favourite cafe which ain't that far from university if that's okay with you?" Taeyong asked.

"Yah good!" Jaehyun responded. He was about to say something more but the bell rang indicating them to go to their respective classes, so Jaehyun just waved a goodbye to Taeyong and promised to be ready by 4.

Taeyong also waved him a goodbye and started walking to his class. He couldn't help but think about Jaehyun being all flustered around him when he has observed the boy being confident around others.

Jaehyun was ready for his date. A friendly date. He had a white plain oversized t-shirt with tight black jeans. His hair styled perfectly. He looked killing but he was still nervous.

He might look confident outside but from inside he is nervous as hell. He sat on the fluffy mattress and glanced at the clock. 3:58 PM.

Taeyong should be here by anytime. He didn't saw Taeyong returning to dorm after college but he didn't thought much about it.Soon the door clicked open and Taeyong stepped inside.

He was wearing a dark blue oversized hoodie with a pair of blue jeans. And not to mention those pair of small silver earrings who were shining bright.

He was looking hotter than the global warming. He gave a small smile to Jaehyun before nervously rubbing his back of the neck.

"Are you ready?"

Jaehyun nodded and stood up from the bed. Going near to the older, he ruffled his soft hair on which the other froze. Jaehyun took his hand back thinking it might have made him uncomfortable.

"I'm sorry."

"No it's absolutely okay. I like that."
The older reassured him and grabbed his wrist to drag him to the main door and the younger let him drag him.

They started walking down the streets. The weather outside was pretty. They didn't realised it but they were holding each other's hands which fit perfectly.

Soon they stopped in front of a cafe and stepped inside. They took one of the tables beside the window, sitting just accross each other. Jaehyun soon got busy admiring the older who was looking outside the window.

The silence between them was comfortable and not awkward. But their silence had to be interrupted by a waitress.

"Jaehyun what would you like?"

Taeyong snapped the younger out of his dreams who first shook his head, regaining himself and then gave his order. Taeyong too, ordered the same thing.

"So... can we know about each other more?" The silver head asked.

"Aren't we here for that?"

The older mentally smacked his head for asking such a stupid question. Jaehyun was going to tell something more but the arrival of their order interrupted them.

Jaehyun letting it go, started digging into his food just like the other.

"You know... I've heard this story about our dorm, that there used to be a couple living there who died and it's believed that their souls are still there." Jaehyun started the conversation.

"Woah that some interesting story. How did they died though?"

The younger just shrugged not knowing the answer.

"Do you think it's true?"

"Nah I don't think so. And if it is, then I can't imagine my life being more adventurous."

They both laughed and their conversation just went on like that. Taeyong payed for their food and by grabbing Jaehyun's wrist once again, he dragged him out to the cafe.

The walk back to their dorm was silent. But a comfortable one. Both of them enjoying each other's presence.
