It was the best morning ever!

Jisung woke up without the alarm and he likes to think it's because he's the happiest man alive. But in reality, he couldn't blink an eye for the entirety of night which was also because he was buoyant from the previous news.

Today was the day. He was going to take Renjun out for a real date. It was like a dream to be honest. It has to be one. Jisung kept trying convincing him but the notion of Renjun and him going out together was not making any sense to him.

It still felt like an impossible wish yet the sight of the prettiest man smiling sweetly made him think otherwise.

It has happended.

"Hey," with a breathy voice, he greeted Renjun who was seemed to be typing something in his phone.

"Oh Jisung, you're here?" still didn't look up but he unconsciously reached his hand out in Jisung's direction and held his wrist securely like he might run away.

Jisung found it a little weird how Renjun made the initiative to touch him because as far as he remembered, Renjun disliked any skin contact.

After a few minutes of staring hard at Renjun's small hands around his wrist, he looked up and saw the screen showing some words that he hadn't heard before.

"um... what's this?"

"this is what we're doing today, silly!"

Renjun retracted the phone back to himself and smiled brightly as he looked at the screen again and sneakily slid his hand down so as to hold Jisung's in his.

Something might have screamed inside and it might be Jisung's inner self.

Oh My God

"did he just-"

"So, I wanted to buy some flowers and was thinking about planting some vegetables too but I don't really know how to,"

Renjun started filling in the silence because he knew the other was not going to utter a single word.

Their walk to the nursery took no longer than ten minutes but Jisung was sure two hours had passed.

While his pupils were still dilated, Renjun started again,

"I've looked up some tutorials on how to plant stuff and I'll also ask some people here, that might help too so i think by the end of today, we'll be successful with some of them."

Jisung nodded because not doing that would be rude.

Renjun ended up getting nine different kinds of flowers and some other "spare" parts oh and some seeds too.

Jisung was told to be extra careful while handling them even though they were all secured in packets but Renjun was scared that Jisung might mess up something.

"Why do you think that I'll mess up? The packets are sealed anyway it doesn't matter if-"

"NO!"

Renjun shrieked when Jisung attempted to shake one of the packets.

"You can't do that, Jisung! They are precious and need to handles with care, okay?! Plus you just give those vibes that you'll somehow end up losing my seeds."

"Your seeds? HAHAHA-"

"Why are you laughing do hard?! And I didn't mean that okay! You know what I meant!"

Renjun posed to be annoyed at the stupid joke but his ears gave off a red hue and that was enough to make Jisung wheeze again.

-

Planting the seeds and other parts took a considerably long time. This gardening hobby of Renjun was wearing the heck out of Jisung and the fact that he couldn't get a lick of sleep last night aggravated his tiredness.

He kind of feels glad that they decided to do this stuff at his place because their garden was way bigger than Renjun's and Jisung can just go inside and shut his eyes to sleep.

Renjun, on the other hand, was too fervent to even realize that his soon-to-be-boyfriend was already dozing off on the grass.

When he did look beside him, Jisung was already gazing at him but with eyes barely open looking all cute, the cutest that Renjun had seen him that he couldn't help but crack a laugh.

"I think it should've been better to go for a café date today instead."

Smiling to himself, Renjun quickly finishes cleaning up and attempts to get a sleepy Jisung on his feet which didn't seem like an easy task but let's just say the sleeping beauty was merciful on his prince and forced himself up.

Renjun guided a half-awake Jisung to his room while trying not to run into anything. Despite Jisung holding his own weight, Renjun still offered to help him stay on his feet.

Fortunately, they reached the premises of Jisung's room and on instinct, the boy leaped towards his bed and passed out, not without startling Renjun.

A startled Renjun was not a happy Renjun. He decided to scold Jisung and say "you shouldn't do that" and "what if i had a heart attack and died" but he kept it to himself and actually helped move the tall guy's limbs around so that he won't wake up with an uncomfortable posture tomorrow.

But this dude was not budging. For a second, Renjun thought if he was even alive because he couldn't even see his chest moving,

"Why the hell is he so still?"

Renjun had a sort of a "i'm worried for you, man" face but he resorted to sitting beside Jisung's asleep figure and tried not to coo at him.

He's so cute

He was cute, he admits. Darn it, Renjun has never seen anyone more adorable than Jisung. Renjun himself has been called cute by many relatives, aunties that love to pinch the heck out if his cheeks and even his friends.

But he likes to think that Jisung surpasses him when it comes to being cute. At least to his eyes, Jisung beats everyone.

It's funny how drastically his views have changed in a year. He never had thought about calling someone cute. Heck, he abhored this word and would get angry when given the compliment but here he was, beside the cutest boy (in his opinion), ruffling his fluffy hair and pinching his soft cheeks- but that's for when he's wide awake and Renjun did not want to wake up a snoring Jisung.

A bit late, but he made the right decision.

Renjun suddenly becomes aware of the time.

"Oh shit, it's getting late. I should go,"

He kinda wished Jisung was not asleep so maybe they could have a nice walk to his home but they can have it later. There are enough days for them.
