My Boy/Best Friend-Minsung

Part 6

Han sat at the cafe with a piece of cheesecake in front of him. He just sat there playing with his fork in the cheesecake instead of eating it. Suddenly Lee Know walked up and sat down in front of him. "Sorry, did you have to wait long?" Lee Know asked. Han shook his head and Lee Know picked up the menu. "Is this place not good? I would have expected you to have finished eating already." Lee Know said laughing. Han only gave a small smirk. "Ok I will get right to it, I asked you here because I wanted to say I'm sorry about yesterday... I.N. made it very clear to me that asking y'all to dinner was not appropriate. I wasn't thinking..." Lee Know said looking down. "Yeah that was just weird." Han said. "I realize now, I hope I didn't ruin your night. Was Ji-Hye upset?" Lee Know asked. "No actually she was really cool about it. We ended up finishing eating there and went for a walk before I dropped her off at her house." Han said. A waitress came by and brought Lee Know a glass of water and took his order. "Oh, that's great. Did you... kiss her goodnight?" Lee Know asked nonchalantly as he stirred his water not looking at Han at all. "It was our first date, I barely know her." Han said. Lee Know looked up at Han somewhat relieved. "Oh right, of course. Well it sounds like things went well, are you going to see her again?" Lee Know asked. "Yeah I think I will, she seems pretty cool." Han said finally taking a bite of his cheesecake. Lee Know picked up his fork and reached for Han's cheesecake. "Hey! What are you doing? Get your own!" Han said as he pulled the plate away from Lee Know. Lee Know laughed as he reached for the plate again saying "I just want to try it! Don't be stingy!" "You have your own coming though!" Han whined. Lee Know successfully snagged a forkful and put it in his mouth before saying through his food "You can have a bite of mine when it comes." Han rolled his eyes and smiled.

"How did you even find that place? The cheesecake was so good!" Han said as he and Lee Know walked down the street. "I just googled places to get cheesecake and picked the first one." Lee Know said. Han laughed as he said "That's just like you, to stumble across a gold mine. I mean really, that place might actually be a worthy replacement for our old one." "I was hoping it could be." Lee Know said smiling gently. Han smiled to himself as he thought about how the awkwardness between them seemed to be dying down. They were practically back to their old selves. "Where are we walking to?" Lee Know asked. "What do you mean? I was following you!" Han said. "I already picked the cheesecake place, am I supposed to plan everything?" Lee Know asked. "You're right. Hmm let's see, what's something fun we could do?" Han said as he stroked his chin in thought. "Arcade?" Han asked. "Are we 12?" Lee Know replied. "You could have just said you don't want to go." Han said annoyed. "I didn't say I don't want to go." Lee Know said as he cracked a smile. Han rolled his eyes and then laughed as they headed toward the arcade. After stopping to get some cash and coins Han and Lee Know went straight in to play all the two player games they could find. After playing so many fighting games both of their eyes fixed on Dance Dance Revolution. They looked at each other, smiled wide and ran over to the game. "Don't get too cocky, you are going down Mr. Dancing Gem!" Han said. "Yeah right Mr. Main Rapper!" Lee Know piped back laughing. They danced their butts off but in the end Lee Know won. Han crossed his arms as he stepped off the game stage. "It's ok Hannie, better luck next time." Lee Know said as he patted Han's back. Han pouted for a second before rolling his eyes and breaking into a smile.

"Alright it's getting late, one more thing then let's go. What do you want to do?" Han said. "You're kidding right?" Lee Know asked. Han looked at Lee Know confused. "You already know what we have to do." Lee Know added grinning as he grabbed Han's arm and dragged him. "Ah of course! Sticker pictures!" Han said as they arrived in front of the booth. Lee Know smiled and pulled Han into the booth. They sat in the cramped booth and scrolled through the different backgrounds and themes. After settling on one they started to pose. Their first pose was a typical Charlie's Angels pose where they were back to back with finger guns. The second had them both doing cheek pokes and hand hearts. For the third pose Lee Know wrapped his arm around Han almost putting him in a headlock and the picture was snapped when they were both mid laugh. The fourth and final pose time came and Han was out of pose ideas. He was about to look to Lee Know for guidance when right before the picture snapped Lee Know leaned in and kissed Hans cheek playfully. Han sat there frozen for a moment with Lee Know laughing beside him. Han could feel his face getting hot as he said "Why did you do that?" "What? I was just playing around, come on let's see how they all came out!" Lee Know said as he left the photo booth. Han sat there a moment longer still a bit in shock. He stepped out of the booth and Lee Know handed him his copy of the 4 sticker pictures. Han looked down at the last picture as Lee Know said "Look at your face in the last one! Priceless!" Han's face was absolutely stunned in the picture where Lee Know kissed his cheek. Han could feel his face blushing again as he looked up at Lee Know. "Geez it's just a kiss on the cheek, I thought it would make a funny picture and I wasn't wrong. You're shocked face is too cute!" Lee Know said laughing as he headed toward the arcade exit.

After Han got home he just laid down on his bed. It had been a long day and Han's body was tired but his mind was racing. He reached up to touch his cheek remembering the feeling of Lee Knows soft lips against it. He quickly turned over and grabbed his phone off of his nightstand to text Ji-Hye. He set up another date with her for the next day to go to a nice dinner where they could really talk and get to know one another. After their night of flowing conversation and laughs Han walked her home. As they walked Han thought 'She really is a sweet girl, maybe there really could be something between us. I mean it wasn't so bad when I held her hand during the movie. She clearly likes me and I think I'm growing to like her too. Who knows, maybe she really could become my girlfriend.' They arrived at the door of her building and Ji-Hye hesitated before going in. Han thought 'Oh shit, am I supposed to kiss her or something? This soon?! It's only the second date!' As Han internally panicked, Ji-Hye leaned in to kiss him on the cheek. Lee Know kissing his cheek flashed through his head as she kissed the exact same cheek that Lee Know had the night before. 'Don't think about that right now Han! That was just Lee Know playing around, this is different, this girl really likes you!' Han thought. He smiled and said goodbye to her as she went in to her building.
