"I got a question for you." Mingi started as he and Minho sat under an umbrella while Jisung and Yunho ran into the ocean.

Minho nodded, urging Mingi to continue.

"How long have you guys been dating?" Mingi asked, blushing softly.

"Hmmm," Minho hums out, laying down, "Probably a year now."

Mingi nodded, "How did it start?"

Minho took a second to gather his words, "Well, we were friends first of course, until my first heat came along. I didn't know I was an omega back then; I just know everything was a blur and I was in so much pain. He helped me. He was really respectful and helpful. He even brought me to the hospital cause' he thought I was dying. But do know that he's an alpha, so he's very much affected by my pheromones, but he held it all in and sent me to the hospital without laying a finger on me." Minho giggled, "He really is stupid isn't he?"

Mingi laughed, "He sounds just like Yunho." 

"So how did you realize... you like him?" Mingi stuttered, blushing profusely.

"Well, it just hits you. It's like a feeling of wanting to only keep them as yours. When they cry, you can't help but want to cry. When they're happy, you feel happy too. It's like when you bought yourself your first plant and you can't help but want to take good care of them, watch them bloom beautifully. You would want to pamper them with love and affection but hate it when other people do the same to them. " Minho smiles, "It's really hard to explain love. Everyone has different views towards love, you just gotta understand it your way."

Mingi stayed quiet, his conscious now occupied by none other than Jeong Yunho.

Yunho's face flashed past his mind, his scent, his body occupying his thoughts. When he suddenly felt himself sweating, his heartbeat sped up, and his body started heating up. Mingi was blushing really hard. He clenched tightly on his shirt, trying to calm himself down.

Minho saw and smiled.

After a full hour of Yunho chasing Jisung around the beach, they both finally settled down and sat beside Mingi and Minho panting and giggling stupidly.

"Hey Mingi, are you hungry?" Yunho asked, he noticed Mingi's bright red face, "Woah, Mingi. You're heating up. You okay? Heatstroke?"

Mingi shook his head, "I'm fine, you wanna get some ice cream? It's really hot here."

Yunho raised his eyebrow in confusion but complied, "Sure." He got up and put out his hand, telling Mingi to grab on it. 

Mingi stared at Yunho's hand for a few seconds before placing his on Yunho's.

"You guys want anything?" Yunho asked, turning towards Jisung and Minho, which the two shook their heads.

The walk to the convenience store was weirdly silent. Yunho knew something was up but he didn't know how to ask.

"Min...?" Yunho called out, surprising Mingi. 

"W-What's up?" Mingi stuttered. His thoughts were clearly somewhere else.

"The sun is setting, look." Yunho says, pulling Mingi close.

Mingi raised his head, his eyes widened at the graceful yet gentle sunset right above their head. The dark orange accompanied by a hint of dark pink colouring the sky. The white-greyish fluffy clouds floating around, creating a striking contrast against the bright colours. The cooling breeze wrapping their bodies, as if the sun was never up. It all felt so gentle, as if letting them know that at that moment, everything was going to be okay.

Yunho held Mingi's hand gently, as if afraid that it might break, guiding them along the ocean, embracing the warm sunset.

Mingi smiled, he knew that this was Yunho's way of comforting him. The taller seemed oblivious and flustered but when he knew something was wrong with Mingi, he would always try to comfort Mingi in his own clumsy yet loving way.

Mingi squeezed Yunho's palm, gaining the taller's attention.

"What's wrong?" Yunho asked worriedly, moving close to Mingi.

Mingi stopped on his tracks, lowering his head. At this point he didn't know why; but tears were welling in his eyes. The more he understood his feelings the more painful he felt.

He couldn't help but burst into tears. Weeping and crying was all he could do at the moment. 

"No no no no no, what's wrong? What happened?" Yunho was flustered, he didn't know what to do. Seeing Mingi cry breaks his heart, but the worst part is he didn't know why Mingi was crying.

All Yunho could think of was guiding Mingi to a hidden corner and pull him in for a hug. He pulled the shorter close and embraced him in a tight hug. He could feel the shorter tremble as he sniffs for air. Mingi broke down harder when he felt Yunho patting his head, whispering "It's okay, I'm here. Don't worry..."

Yunho was heartbroken. Hearing Mingi's sobs were the last thing he wanted to hear. As Mingi's sobs get louder, Yunho felt his nose running. 'Gosh, at this point i'm gonna cry too.' Yunho thought as he too felt his vision get blurred by tears.

At the end, Yunho broke down as well. He didn't know why but he couldn't help it. He hated seeing Mingi in this state. He wanted to help him, but he didn't know how. It pains him to know how helpless he is towards Mingi. The fact that he couldn't do anything made him very mad at himself.

Mingi stopped crying. He held onto Yunho face by both side of his tears-stained cheeks, "Why're you crying?"

Yunho continued sobbing, "I-I don't know... I couldn't help it... Y-You were c-crying and I d-didn't know what to do... I-It hurts to see you cry like that..." He stuttered out before burying his face into Mingi's nape, sobbing harder.

Mingi covered his mouth in surprise. 

'When they cry, you can't help but want to cry. When they're happy, you feel happy too.' He remembers Minho's words.

Mingi hugged Yunho back, this time it was his turn to comfort the crying puppy.

They stood at that spot for a few minutes to let Yunho calm down. 

When Yunho fully stopped crying, he refused to let go of Mingi, burying his face deeper into Mingi's neck, hugging him tighter.

Mingi giggled, a warm sensation spread throughout his body as he held the gentle giant in place.

"Yunho." Mingi called out, ruffling Yunho's hair.

"Hmm?" Yunho responded, still clinging onto the shorter.

"I like you." 

Yunho raised his head instantly, staring straight into Mingi's eyes. Mingi couldn't help but let out a small laugh when he made eye contact with Yunho's puffy, red ones.

Yunho grabbed both sides of Mingi's face, "What?" 

Mingi smiled softly, doing the same to Yunho's, "I said I like you, Yunho."

Yunho stared at Mingi, his eyes searching for a hint of lie, "You're not joking, right?"

"No, I'm not."

Yunho's eyes softened, as if melting, he replied very softly, "I like you more." And without another word exchanged, he closed their distance.

Yunho guided the kiss, slowly, gently. Mingi closed his eyes, letting his body move on its own. He went with Yunho's pace, his arms moving up from Yunho's waist to his neck, cupping his cheeks as he tilted his head to deepen the kiss. They move in unison as they took the time to enjoy it. 

Mingi moved away and whispered, "Open your mouth and stick out your tongue."
