13 \ picnic date

Lessons continued as per normal while Gyuvin just admires Ricky's face from sitting beside him. "Gyuvin, are you done staring? Our major examinations are coming." Ricky says, noting down what the teacher was writing on the board.

"Oh? You noticed?"

"Duh? I can literally see you the whole damn time. Focus, please."

"Only because my dearest boyfriend asked me to." Gyuvin says and immediately picks up a pen and started noting down, just like Ricky.

"So... I was thinking, before we sit for our major examinations, let's go for a picnic date this weekend." Gyuvin says, eyes not leaving the board. Ricky stopped writing and turned to look at Gyuvin who was busy copying down the board.

"Picnic date? That's so random?"

"I mean.. it counts as our first date, doesn't it? Come on babe, it will surely be fun." Gyuvin doesn't sees it but Ricky blushed at the statement. It was probably the first time that Gyuvin had called him that not as a joke.

"I guess."

Guess what? It's finally the weekends! After many plannings and discussions between the two boys, they finally decided that Gyuvin will bring all the food he made while Ricky will bring the essentials, such as the mat, mosquito repellent, drinks and also a digital camera.

"All packed. Ricky, are you done?" Gyuvin asked as he zipped up his backpack, swinging it onto his shoulder. Ricky nods and picks up a bag, grabbing a digital camera he placed on his study table.

"Why are you bringing this?" Gyuvin asked confusedly. "I want to store our memories here." Ricky says, passing Gyuvin the camera, asking him to take it. "Ah, but I don't know how to use this..." Gyuvin grinned, putting the camera into his bag.

"Don't worry, I will teach you."

They both arrived at the beach, hand in hand. "Which spot would you like?" Gyuvin asked, scanning the area. "I think we can go for the one near that big tree. There's shade and also we get to see the sea view clearly." Gyuvin nods and the heads towards that direction.

Ricky took out the mat and tried to place the mat down. He failed. The mat kept getting folded as soon as it touches the grass. "Kim Gyuvin! Help me." Ricky is starting to get impatient because the mat wouldn't land as it is.

"Okay okay, I'll help babe."

With Gyuvin's help, the mat is finally set. They all placed their belongings onto the edge of the mat, so that the mat wouldn't get folded again by the wind. Ricky sighs, already tired of fighting a war with the mat.

"Relax babe, let's have some food okay?" Gyuvin took out 5 lunchboxes, placing them in the middle of the mat. "I've brought 2 main dishes, 1 dessert, 1 side dish and 1 soup!" Gyuvin says excitedly as he removes the lids of the boxes.

"Are they all cooked by you?" Ricky asked in confusion. He never knew his best friend can cook. What if they're all fucked and could easily land Ricky in the hospital before he can take his last major examination?

"Main dishes and soup yes. The rest were takeaway food."

"What? You could cook?" Ricky asked in shock while Gyuvin nodded. "I've learnt from my mother. And don't forget, I was part of our school's cooking external programme before it got removed earlier this year." Gyuvin passes Ricky one of the main dishes and Ricky swears he could literally drool over the smell.

"Wait. This smells good actually?" Gyuvin giggles, passing Ricky his cutlery and the starts digging in. Gyuvin prepared spaghetti for himself and kimchi fried rice for Ricky. Ricky was a rice person so Gyuvin thought this can satisfy his hunger.
