Minghao took Jeonghan to a mall first.

"You remember this?"

"Oh my gosh, don't tell me!!! What the fuck happened here? It was a small building with a ramen shop on the first floor."

"Yep, but don't worry, the Ramen shop still exists. It's on the 5th floor."

"Can we go, please?" He asked with pleading eyes

Is this the same man that investigates murder cases????

"Anything you want."

They spent 2 hours just walking around the mall and trying on stuff. Basically, goofing off.

It reminded Jeonghan of his good high-school days.

"We should check out a new cafe that just opened!"

"How far away is it?"

"Ummm.... 1 hour. "

"..."

"Pleasee,"

"..."

"Oh please, just this once,"

*sighs* "Okay, fine."

"We are gonna be their by 7, and let's be back before 11?"

"Alright, as you wish,"

As Minghao started driving the car with the radio on. Again, news about the same old murder cases.

"Hey, turn that up for a second." Jeonghan says, completely focused on the radio.

Minghao does as he says.

"2 men were found dead in their shared apartment. Both 24 years old. One was stabbed to death while the other was shot 3 times. The question is, is this the same person as the last 2 murder cases? Stay safe, our dear citizens. We will meet nex-"

Jeonghan turned off the radio.

"More work for me now." He grumbles.

"Stay safe, please. You're doing a pretty dangerous job. You're only 25 hyung."

"Don't worry about me. I will be fine."

The rest of the drive was pretty silent.

After an almost 1 hour drive, they finally reached the cafe. It was huge. The smell of caffeine felt nice. The atmosphere was chilly and the cafe wasn't so crowded. The vibe was so relaxing that Jeonghan could just sit their for hours.

They chit chatted their for another hour before finally deciding to go home.

(Meanwhile, on the other hand)

"Jun, did you seriously have to come all the way here for coffee?"

"It's a new cafe, and I am craving some desserts, so why not hyung?"

"You're so extra,"

"I know you want it too,"

"Whatever."

As Jun and Joshua were about to enter, two men came out.

Jeonghan noticed Joshua and Jun before Josbua and Jun noticed Jeonghan. He quickly turned around.

"Haohao?" Jun asked, confused.

"J-jun and Joshua, what are you two doing here? Out of nowhere,"

"We could say the same for you," Joshua spoke.

Jeonghan missed that voice so much.

"And who's this?" Jun asked, pointing towards the man that won't turn around.

"Uhmmm, remember the old high school fella I ran into? It's him. Ya, he has to go home now. Let me just see him off." Wow, Minghao, nice way to get out of the situation with definitely raising 0 suspicions.

"Why is he hiding his face then?" Joshua asks, confused.

"He-His shy"

Jun's eyes were throwing daggers at Jeonghans back.

Joshua just looked at both.

"Minghao, I will send him off, you Stay with Jun here."

'Shit,' Jeonghan and Minghao thought.

"No, you can't!" Minghao exclaims.

"Why not?" Jun asks, getting closer to Minghao.

"I-um"

"Ya, that settles you two talk here, and I will send him off." Joshua says. Tapping Jeonghans shoulder.

Their was a moment of silence.

With Minghao's anxiety on the rooftop of Burj Khalifa.

'You know what fuck it' Jeonghan says in his head before turning around.

Joshua and Jun were beyond shook. They were extremely flabbergasted.

"Wha- Jeonghan?" His voice was almost gone.

They spent 2 minutes just staring at each other as if it's a kdrama.

"YOUR ALIVE?" Jun almost yells too loudly.

"As you can see, Junnie," Jeonghan chuckles, but Joshua is still frozen.

"Bro fell in love all over again," Minghao said before snapping his fingers in front of Joshua. Bringing him back to earth.

"I need to go home and process all of this. And you two are completely with me. " Josbua points at Jeonghan and Minghao.

"He looks more mad than happy," Jeonghan says. Poor boy was expecting like a 10 minute long hug, but instead, he got a flabbergasted reaction. That's all.

"And Jun drive, it's your turn."

"Ugh fine"
