seojin:
hey, i'm here

mingi:
okay let me put my shoes in and i'll be right out <3

mingi smiled to himself before putting his phone in his pocket and walking downstairs. "i'll be home later. love you" he informed his parents who smiled and nodded, replying with "love you too"

he quickly put his shoes on and ran out in the cold night air to reach seojin's running car. "fuck it's cold" he said, happy to feel the warmth inside.

seojin chuckled and put his phone down in one of the cup holders. the taller turned his head and smiled when he was met with his lovers eyes. "hi" the college student says

"hi" mingi mimicked before kissing his lips

"kissing on the first date i see" the older teased, receiving an eye roll and another peck. "seat belt"

"i know, i know" mingi huffed and buckled the belt before the other began driving again. the taller placed his hand on seojin's thigh as he scrolled through his playlist. passenger seat means aux privileges at all costs with those two.

he played something soft, maybe a little romantic but he will never confess to being that cheesy just yet. not yet. the two hummed along, sometimes bring up little conversations every now and then but staying in a comfortable silence over all.

seojin grabbed his boyfriends hand from his thigh, lacing their fingers together and kissing the back of his hand.

"you're awfully romantic tonight" mingi chuckles softly and returned the gesture.

"first date things" seojin shrugged as he stopped at the red light. "i haven't really got to see your outfit" he reminds mingi. the night time makes it hard for him to see what he's wearing, though he could see a little bit of his white button down from the street lights. he noticed the few top buttons being open when he got in the car.

"i got pictures" mingi said and grabbed his phone. the car began to move again as the light turned green so he had to wait until the next red light to show off his mirror pictures.

when the next red light appeared, seojin turned his head to see the pictures. "you look hot"

"obviously" the taller teased.

the older shook his head and chuckled lightly as he pressed on the gas. "so what happened with chenle and jjong?" he questioned, remembering the conversation they had not too long ago.

"i'm not sure actually. he said he didn't want to talk about it, and i'm not gonna force him. you know?"

"yeah" he answered softly. he knows that jongho and mingi, while not as close as they were when they were children, they're still really close. and when the youngest brother is upset, it very clearly makes mingi upset too.

"i hate seeing him so upset"

"i know, love" seojin whispered, rubbing his thumb back and forth on the others hand before kissing the back of it again. "just be there for him"
