"Um wait, Hyunjin hyung, hi"

An uncontrollable smile soon came creeping up on his lips the moment he lost his cool when he felt the same wiggly feeling in his tummy. 'curse those butterflies-' he lightly patted his stomach one time. He sure didn't like them that much.

With that call, the mentioned male instantly turned his body around again from leaving the spot. Just when his eyes met the boy, he widen them out slightly before walking towards him even closer.

A sugary smile was plastered on his plump lips, his long front hair that seemed to be blocking his sight was then brought to the back of his ear, tucking it there.

"Jeongin? hi, didn't think i'd see you here" he said and the other one just let out a small scoff, smiling afterwards.

"just looking for school stuffs," he paused. His eyes glanced at the bucket Hyunjin's left hand was holding. He could see that there was a canvas, acrylic paints, one specific sketchbook and several different sized brushes in that same bucket. After two seconds later, he lifted his face up on him again.

"Hyunjin hyung sure is multi-talented"

He let out some light chuckles while Hyunjin just scratched the tip of his nose gently out of the nervousness that was holding him back from replying to that particular comment. 'i'm sure he knows now' he thought, swallowed dry his saliva that's stuck in his throat.

"Ahah well it's just something i enjoy doing. Anyway, you came alone?"

"Oh not really, i came here by the taxi with Felix right her-" As much as he wanted to finish his words when he turned to his left, Felix who he expected to be standing there just vanished.

"Felix?"

He searched for the guy left to right before eventually found him at the very edge end of the store. He watched the blonde giving him a thumbs up, basically just leaving him to deal with Hyunjin all alone because that's what he was rooting for.

With his temple rubbed with his two thumbs, "He's taking a call" he said as he pointed his index finger towards his best friend, Hyunjin just had his head nodding in motion, understood.

For a brief of moment, silence came collapse around them, maybe it's because of the lack of topic to be talking about or it's just how Hyunjin has always been awkward around things that breathe.

But for sure, Hyunjin also didn't want to make the person he adored most- standing besides him and not reaching his best comfort.

So, with effort, he spoke; "You look nice today, too" while his hand was flying up to get the same packed brushes that caused his wrist to brush against Jeongin's soft ones a while ago.

A strain of young blush came creeping up on Jeongin's cheeks. "Too?" He mentioned.

"Remember our first 'date' at the mall? I remember you looked really cute. And today you look cute as well" he explained, putting other stuffs in his bucket as he earned a snicker from the other boy along with some laughter.

"Oookay..i'd prefer it to be handsome or something but thanks anyway i think" he replied jokingly. "i guess you look good too" he mumbled his words into one sentence, looking away from the older who just sang out a long hum.

"Why thanks, i'm always this hot"

Jeongin giggled at him, "that's definitely not what i said" and that's just how they both shared a bunch of contagious laughter all together, not too loud though since they didn't want to cause an echo in the non-crowdy store.

"Is this considered flirting?" Jeongin added, poking Hyunjin's arm.

Hyunjin looked at him in the eye, he could sense that his cheeks were heating up from that one question. Soon after he took his eyes off him, he found one of his hands was ruffling the petite boy's fluffy brown hair.

"Right, who knows"

A smile couldn't seem to drop from Jeongin's lips when he felt his warm palm on his head, the soon-to be bought stuffs he was holding were brought to his clothed tummy, hugging them tight so that they won't fall to the ground. Oh just how much he hoped that Hyunjin won't notice his heart that was racing each laps, beating every drops.

"Hyung, wanna do that again sometimes?"

He inquired, stepping even closer to Hyunjin's side. "Yea?" The older asked, his torso was bent lower in order to make his face reach Jeongin's. It was only because he wanted to hear him better since he didn't catch what he was meant to say so Jeongin quickly tried to clear himself up.

At the same time, his heart was beating even faster bexause of their bare gap of distance that they were creating.

"You know, maybe a second, as you like to call it; 'friend date'? B-but i'd like to hang out at your place for the first time.."

He asked in a tone that was full consideration, nervousness and hope. There's nothing hidden behind the request, it's just that he wanted to get to know Hyunjin a lot more better. Or maybe just a little urge of him wanting to stay close to the guy that he's now fond of.

"Ah..okay, sure"

The latter said with a flustered smile, which was then returned by a delighted one from his junior afterwards. Both boys had noticed the rosy dust of blush on each other's cheeks, but none of them dared to care.
