Would You Like to Know a Secret?

  The three musicians walked along the street on a breezy Sunday morning. The trio had been hanging out for weeks after finding out about their mutual feelings with one another. The wind gently pushed back on their bangs, exposing their foreheads. Donghyuck took a deep breath, which caused the other two to glance at him. They adored his perfect side profile. He cutely walked in between them. Honestly, it felt like he was the youngest of the three.

  They walked down to a nearby convenience store. Jaemin requested that they stop by there for some snacks. Although, one thing was in the back of their minds. When would it happen. They'd briefly mentioned getting together in the past, but it ended with Jeno saying he wanted it to be special. So Jaemin and Donghyuck came to the conclusion that he would do it sooner rather than later. Well, they hoped so.

  The three walked around the streets of Seoul. The morning breeze almost felt rejuvenating. It was beautiful. The bright, green leaves on the trees. The flowers that bloomed in vases of shop windows. It was the definition of a beautiful morning. A beautiful life.

  Silence was cut by the wind, but none of the three said a word. The atmosphere was perfect and refreshing. The streets were clean, and their minds were clear. It was obvious they had intentions with each other. They intended to date. But they were moving slowly. Honestly, the two were leaving it up to Jeno for whatever reason. Which made Donghyuck wonder if he should just take action.

  The youngest of the trio finally broke the silence by saying, "It's really nice. Being here with you two on this morning in this weather almost makes it feel like I'm in a movie."

  "Have you ever thought of being an actor?" Donghyuck asked out of the blue.

  "When I was young. Why?"

  "You're handsome."

  "I don't know if I'd be good at acting. I've never tried it."

  "You might be good. Who knows."

  "We're still young."

  "It gives you all the time to think about the possibilities of the future. Isn't it amazing but scary at the same time? What if it isn't right?" he questioned.

  "That's why it's better to take the chance. Take a leap. If you fall, get up. Life is a process, a cycle. Fall and get up again," Jeno said, looking at the clothes in shops they passed by.

  "It's nearing us. Our performance, I mean. It's next week. Do you guys feel ready?" Jaemin asked.

  "Yeah, I'm ready. I want to get this over with."

  "But the end is almost near. I don't think I'm ready to let go. That music room is where a lot of things happened. Where we fell for you, where Hyuck and I kissed, and where you confessed to us. I don't want to leave it behind yet."

  "We'll be back next year."

  "You're right. Iconic trio me, you, and Hyuck."

  "Ugh, I don't want to go through another school year," Donghyuck complained.

  "We know," Jaemin chuckled.

  They enjoyed the rest of their walk together in silence once again. Minds swept of unnecessary thoughts. Only focused on the presence of one another. Satisfaction.
