Yunho brought two cups of hot choco to his room. The Jeongs wanted Mingi and his mother to stay and have a sleepover, but Ms. Song refused the offer because of her work. Mingi was about to refuse too but Ms. Song said he should stay. Her obligations should be accomplished as soon as possible so she let Mingi stay for the night. So in that, Mingi will sleep at Yunho's room, as what they always do since childhood.

As Yunho entered his room, he spotted Mingi at the balcony, in his pyjamas, oversized gray shirt and white beanie (some of his things left at Yunho's if overnight scenarios will happen). His eyes, on specs, seems like observing outside. Yunho walked towards him and offered the drink. Mingi got it as he noticed Yunho beside him.

"Are you sure you didn't put poison here?" Mingi pranked. Yunho giggled at the sudden joke.

"If I knew you are a noble and one of the richest people in this country, I would actually do that." Yunho added spice to the joke. Mingi stood still. Fuck, if you know I'm the hidden princess of this country...

"But," Yunho added, in serious manner, "only if we are strangers and I am born to be a criminal. You are my precious... friend and you are very important to me. Even if I know you are noble and rich, I would never hesitate to protect you at all cost."

While he was saying that, he's too immersed by his thoughts. He stares at Mingi like he needs to tattoo his words to Mingi's soul. And well, Mingi felt that, making his heart skip a beat.

I hope you will stay by my side if you know the truth.

Mingi blinks to prevent himself from tearing up. Changing the conversation, Mingi sips his hot choco and felt the perfect sweetness coming through his tongue.

"You still know how much milk will you put on mine." Mingi said and smiled. Yunho smiled as well, drinking his.

"Of course, 25 percent milk and 75 cocoa for you." Mingi nods, knowing Yunho still remembers the portions. "Ever since we're teens, I'm the one who's capable of making this." Yunho answered, still wearing a smile on his face.

"You dreamed to be a pastry chef right?" Mingi asked. Yunho nods and looked at the sky. Stars scattered on a clear dark sky, the moon shines in full circle, few clouds surrounded it.

"I always want to bake and make sweets, Min. You know that." The younger nods and remembers the time when Yunho makes cupcakes and sweet drinks since they were kids. He usually make sweet treats like cookies and cupcakes, and drinks like hot choco.

But he loves making one delicacy, that only Mingi can remember.

"Especially your favorite to make, of all time."

Yunho looked at him. "Oh really? You still remember? I cannot make it since we became idols tho."

"Of course I still remember!" Mingi exclaimed, smiling at Yunho widely. If exaggerated expressions can be seen, Yunho may visibly see the sparkles in Mingi's eyes and some around him. "Your custard cake is the best!"

It's already evening, almost close to midnight. Mingi cannot see Yunho's flustered face clearly, but he makes himself proud for making him like that.

"You can make it as soon as we come back to the dorms, Yun."

Yunho finally looked at him, still as flawless as he is, with the light of the moon shining on his face, Mingi can't help but to stare more. Beautiful.

"If Wooyoung allowed me to use the kitchen, I will."

"We will help, especially Wooyoung and Seonghwa hyung who are the masters of the kitchen. You know these two, the one is messy in cooking and the other is a mother who wants the area clean at all times. But, both of them doesn't want to make the kitchen burn down."
