"I'm sorry—what?" Chanhee laughed as he shifted his car into park.

Younghoon cleared his throat from where he sat next to his boyfriend and reiterated, "I said maybe you should work for NASA because you're so smart. It's a lot of math...I'm sure of it."

The younger grabbed the cup of frozen yogurt they had stopped to get from the cup holder, putting a spoonful in his mouth before shrugging. "I'm pretty sure I'm not that smart, Younghoon," he mumbled. Glancing over at the elder, Chanhee noticed his own cup half empty as he had been eating it while the boy drove, "Do you like it?"

Younghoon quickly nodded, pushing the green cup towards Chanhee. "You want to try you?" He asked.

"Is that gross—eating off the same spoon?"

"Chanhee..." he started as he sent the boy a confused look, "we've kissed before...your tongue has literally been in my mouth."

"You're right," Chanhee sighed before opening his mouth and waiting for Younghoon to feed him.

The elder laughed at the boy before getting the perfect ratio of yogurt to candy on the spoon before pushing it up to his lips. He quickly brought up a napkin to wipe away and lingering around his mouth. "Y'know what I wish?"

A small smile rested on Chanhee's lips as he turned to look at the elder, "What, Younghoon?"

"A wish we didn't have to plan every little thing out—like it's a little frustrating we have to wait to do anything until my parents go out of town twice a year."

Chanhee's glanced at the backseat of his car before quickly looking back at his boyfriend. "Yeah..." he whispered.

"What?" Younghoon asked, turning to look at whatever had caught the boy's attention.

He couldn't stop the smirk from rising to him lips as he shrugged, "nothing."

Looking behind him once more, Younghoon glanced around for a few moments before gasping, "You don't mean it..."

"I'm just saying!" Chanhee defended quickly, "I have a perfectly fine backseat nobody ever uses!"

"And you asked if eating off the same spoon was gross..."

"It's not gross Younghoon—it's...it's practical for our situation!"

"Practical—I'm six foot tall, Chanhee!"

The younger only shrugged before saying, "you're not that much taller than me. You'd fit."

"Unlock your car."

"Why?"

Putting his cup of frozen yogurt back in the cup holder, Younghoon turned towards the younger before stating, "because I have to prove a point."

After unlocking his car, Chanhee watched as Younghoon got out and climbed into the back seat, laying across them horizontally. "See!" The elder exclaimed as he pointed to his bent knees, "I can't fit."

"You seem to fit just fine to me," Chanhee grumbled, "I don't own a clown car. We'll have to test it out sometime so I can prove a point."

The elder shook his head as he sat up once again, "No—because you're always right about everything. I'm taking a vow of abstinence."

"Okay," Chanhee smiled, "I respect your decision."

"I didn't mean it."

"Good afternoon Mr Choi," Younghoon bowed as him and Chanhee walked through the front door of his house just as they did almost every other day.

The man looked up from his fine and flashed a quick smile, "hi..."

"How are you, sir?"

"Younghoon—let's just skip the small talk for now, yeah?" He muttered before getting up and wandering out of the room.

A frown formed on Younghoon's lips as his shoulders slumped and he whined, "Chanhee I can't stand he doesn't like me—I can't stand it."

"Just give him some time..." Chanhee sighed.

"No—it's not about time. My dad doesn't like me...your dad doesn't like me...I think it's imposible for anybody's dad to like me."

Chanhee wrapped his arms around Younghoon's torso and pulled the elder's head down to rest on his shoulder. "There's nothing wrong with you," the boy whispered as he placed a hand on the back of Younghoon's neck, "my dad is a little uncomfortable, that's it, he'll be fine. And your dad he...he's just a jerk—am I allowed to say that?"

Younghoon nodded against the younger's shoulder, "You can call him a jerk, that's okay."

"Your dad is a jerk, Younghoon," Chanhee confirmed, "you shouldn't feel bad because there's nothing you could do that's going to change how he acts."

A quiet hum came from the elder before he wrapped his arms tighter around Chanhee, letting himself sink into the boy.
