chapter eight

Jeongin took in a deep breath as he gripped the steering wheel. He had just snuck out for the first time ever. And to pick up his secret boyfriend, no less.

He had parked two blocks away like Hyunjin had asked and then sent him his location.

When the older boy came into sight, Jeongin couldn't help but smile. His newly blond hair had been tied up in a ponytail and he was wearing a blue hoodie and sweatpants.

Hyunjin got into the car, smiling at his boyfriend. His face was a little red from the cold and he was shivering.

"Hi, sunshine." He cupped his face and pecked his lips.

"Hey," Jeongin blushed, laughing a bit. "Your lips are freezing!" He brought his hand up to Hyunjin's face, placing it on his cheek then his forehead. "Why didn't you wear a coat?"

Hyunjin shook his head, still smiling. "Its not that cold out,"

"Bullshit. You're shivering like crazy," Jeongin turned the heat up, sighing. "Do you want my coat? Oh, I may have a hoodie in the back, if you want that instead." Jeongin rambled, placing his hand back on the other's cheek.

Hyunjin shook his head, putting his hand over Jeongin's. "I'm okay, I promise. Lets go that park, yeah?"

"Yeah, okay. Sorry," He quickly put the car in  drive, heading off to a park close to his own house.

Once they arrived and had gotten parked, Hyunjin reached over the dashboard to cup Jeongin's face again. He unbuckled his seatbelt with his freehand and kissed him quickly.

"Thank you for picking me up tonight, Sunflower," He rubs the boy's cheek with his thumb, kissing him again.

Jeongin nods, "Thank you for letting me," He returns all the kisses, smiling like crazy.

"I'm sorry I'm not ready to be out yet," He sighs, "I'm just terrified, you know?"

"I get it," Jeongin smiles, "I got outed in middle school and people were really awful to say the least. Thats's why I moved from Busan. The people here seem really nice, though. But please take your time,"

Hyunjin frowns, rubbing his cheek again. "I can't see how anyone could be mean to someone as cute as you," He pecks his lips again, smiling.

"Yeah. Some people are gross. Do you wanna sit in the back? We'll have more room." Jeongin unbuckles his seatbelt.

"Yeah! Of course!" Hyunjin lets his hands fall as he watches Jeongin climb into the backseat. He happily follows, sitting next to him.

"So, what should we do?" The younger asked, tilting his head.

Hyunjin shrugs, holding his arms out. "We can cuddle up and watch some tiktoks?"

Jeongin nods, cuddling up next to him. Hyunjin kisses his cheek and pulls his phone out, opening tiktok. 

The boys sit, watching and laughing at the random things on Hyunjin's for you page. Eventually, the younger boy starts to yawn.

"You should get home, sunshine," Hyunjin whispers.

Jeongin nods, climbing back into the drivers seat. Hyunjin sits next to him in the passenger's seat. The older boy places a nice, sweet kiss on the other's cheek.

Jeongin smiled, starting the car. He drove it back to the same spot he picked Hyunjin up at.

"I'll see you soon, Sunflower. Okay?" He smiles, kissing Jeongin, quickly.
