the boy strutted to his neighbour's home with freshly baked raspberry scones in a cute wooden basket with a smile on his face. he took a deep breath before he knocked on the door.

"Mrs.nishimur–oh,hi niki." the door swung only to be met with the nishimura's only son. sunoo's enthusiastic greetings always got niki flustered because of how his bright energy was effecting him.

"hey." Niki managed to put on a small smile.

"are your parents home?" sunoo asked.

"no they're not. they went out on a business trip. they will be back in a few days."

sunoo chuckled. "I guess you can have these all to yourself then." he said as he handed the basket to niki who wore a puzzled look as he took the bucket from the older.

"what is this?" he sniffed.

"it's called raspberry scones. have you try them before?"

"nope."

"to eat these properly, i suggest you to enjoy these with butter and strawberry jam." he added.

"i guarantee you will love them. from what I heard from Mrs.nishimura, you've always loved my pastries so I,m guessing you would devour these too." sunoo spoke, his huge smile not wiping off from his face.

"y-yeah." niki looked away, blood instantly rushed to his cheek. sunoo noticed the pink tint coating his cheeks, he tilted his head cutely at the sight. the japanese cold hearted features surely blushed easily.

the japanese started to think if his mom ever tell the boy how he had a huge crush—admiration for him. he would be doomed if the peach looking boy knew about his never ending rambling to his mom about him whenever he casted a glance at him from his bedroom.

"have a nice day." he softly spoke before he slammed the door on sunoo's face.

sunoo was baffled with what just happened.

am i disturbing whatever he was doing right now? he must have been busy. he deeply thought as he adorably pouted.

sunoo stared at the door before him and walked away from the house after. niki was watching what occurred after he accidentally slammed the door on the older behind the curtains. the quick change of sunoo's expression was devastating him, thinking the boy had a bad impression of him.

"ah shit."

niki smacked his forehead while repeatedly saying how dumb he was for acting that way. he can't help it. that was his first proper encounter he had with the Kim sunoo.

on previous days, it was either his mother or his father who would greet the latter and received his homemade delicacies as he stole glances of the pretty boy from the back except this time, he faced him—alone.

...

sunoo huffed as he plopped himself on the couch, turning on the tv, flipping through all the channels to ease his mind though nothing intrigued him. so, he decided to watch something on netflix instead.

"sunoo?"

he felt a hand on his shoulder and immediately look up. "hm?"

"you don't look okay. want me to order a takeout for you?"

"it's fine. i don't feel like it."

the middle aged woman sighed and went to take a seat beside the boy. "get some rest will you? standing in the kitchen for 4 hours is just going to give you leg sores silly." she ruffled his hair gently and a giggle escaped from sunoo's lips.

"i will mom. I'm not a baby anymore." he grumbled.

she tittered and got up to finish her undone house chores. sunoo leaned back against the soft couch, sinking himself even depper into the couch. 4 times in a week, sunoo often bake pastries for fun.

even though it tires him, it didn't stop him from looking for new recipes and turn them into delicious pastries almost daily. he loves learning new things.

sunoo's mind went to the boy he encountered earlier. just like niki, it was his first time talking to each other properly, without his parents greeting him like usual—though it wasn't a proper one.

the peach boy bit his lip, hoping the boy likes the delicacies he just brought for the said boy. he chuckled before went up to his room to wash up and laid on the bed afterwards.

...

niki brought the basket to the kitchen, observing it for a while and inhaled the scent of the freshly baked scones. the smell itself was enough to convince him it tasted delicious as it looks.

he took a small knife and brought a jar of jam and a small sized container, placing them on the kitchen counter. he carefully sliced the middle of the scone open, and spread both jam and butter on the scone.

he slowly put it into his mouth, savouring the flavour and his eyes widen because the taste of it was more tasty than what he expected. every sunoo's homemade delicacies turned out to be his favourite.

his head then turned to his neighbour's home, staring at the clear window which the sun shine beamed, revealing the living room where Sunoo was last seen earlier. a small smile made its way to his face.

...

sunoo's father made a hand gesture indicating sunoo to approach him. sunoo's brows furrowed as he approached his father. "what is it?"

"please tell niki to join us for dinner. it would be a pity for the boy to eat dinner alone." his father gave him a small pat on his shoulder, flashing a sweet smile.

"oh sure." sunoo sweetly returned the smile and continue to headed towards the backdoor of the kitchen. he strutted through the mini garden which connected the yard of the nishimuras with his family. he cleared his throat before gently knocked on the door, hoping he wouldn't disturb the Japanese.

the door swiftly opened revealing the Japanese topless, only in his black sweatpants. sunoo was flustered but he quickly collected himself. "uh i want you to-i mean my parents want you to join us for dinner."

boy, this sure was a breathtaking sight. Niki's body was more toned what he thought-it was a lean, slender body built which fit Niki's tall body proportion perfectly. this is what he hide behind those baggy clothes? Sunoo immediately shook the thought off away as he rapidly blink his lashes and focused on the younger's eyes instead.

seeing the cold hearted look the boy wore before him made Sunoo feel a bit intimidated. however, a smile then crept up to Niki's lips making Sunoo's insides feel...tingly?

"i will." the boy hoarsely chuckled with his deep voice. out of the blue, the peach boy's heart was palpitating rapidly. he knew he had to control himself so he instantly excused himself to escape the situation he was in right now.

he needed some personal space to scream out his intrusive thoughts but the taller boy grabbed his wrist, pulled Sunoo closer to him, making Sunoo's poor heart hammering against his ribcage harder than ever.

"you're so cute when you blush."

"h-huh?" a light blush sugar coated his fair skin.

Niki's sharp eyes was piercing into his, it didn't help the mental state he was in right now. he was screaming internally in his mind. Sunoo lightly pushed Niki away from him. his condition made him can't bring himself to look at the younger in the eyes.

"please come over later." the older said, his eyes on the ground and immediately walked away from the boy with pink tinted blush clearly visible on his cheeks.

Niki stood at the doorframe with crossed arms, smirking knowing the effect he had on the older. second encounter of them was surely something.
