Jisung and Minho walk out from the trees and on the sidewalk again.

The two are walking side by side, chatting a little as they walk to the park.

"Minhooo~" Jisung says playfully.

"Yes?" Minho replies.

"Can I hold your armmm?" He asks.

"Hmmm, why not?" Minho says, smirking.

Jisung wraps his arm around Minho's, linking their arms.

"Yayyy!" Jisung says, happy he can be closer to Minho.

They continue walking, getting closer to the park each step they take.

"Minho?" Jisung asks again after a few minutes.

"Hm?" Minho replies.

"I have noticed that you like to listen to me and let me do basically whatever I want! You let me stay over at your house, you take me places, and you buy me stuff. Why do you do that?" Jisung asks, looking up at Minho's perfect side profile as they continue walking.

"Hm, I guess I just wanna let you enjoy life more now since you really couldn't when you were younger. Well, that's what I'm assuming since I haven't gotten the whole story." Minho says, still looking straight at the path ahead of them.

Jisung's heart beats a little faster and his arm tightens around Minho's slightly, wanting to be even closer than they already are.

He cares for me that much?

"Well, I definitely do enjoy life way more! You make me so happy! And, even if I might act like I don't like it..." Jisung seems hesitant to say the next part, "I really do like being carried by you!"

Jisung's face flushes a little. He didn't expect he would admit that to Minho.

Minho takes a quick glance at Jisung before looking ahead again, a small grin on his face.

"Good." Minho says simply.

With just one word, Minho can give Jisung butterflies in his stomach.

After a few more minutes, they approach the park.

"Wow, this is bigger than I thought it would be! It's so cool!" Jisung says, happily.

But he looks around and changes his mind a little as he sees only smaller kids.

"Minho, am I supposed to be here? Am I too old?" Jisung asks, looking at the other adults only watching their children, not playing.

"Of course, you're supposed to be here. Nobody is too old. I bet you those parents sitting over there would love to come and have fun again." Minho says, rubbing Jisung's back reassuringly.

"Are you going to come with me?" Jisung asks.

"Why wouldn't I?" Minho replies, putting his hand on Jisung's waist and guiding him into the park.

They walk over to a metal thing that can spin.

"What's this?" Jisung asks, moving it around a little bit.

"Put your feet there," Minho says, pointing to the bottom bar, "And put your hands here." he finishes, putting Jisung's hands on the sides of it.

"It's supposed to spin you around, are you ready?" Minho asks.

"Yes!" Jisung replies.

Minho gives the structure a tiny push, making it spin slowly.

"Ooo, this is fun!" Jisung says, enjoying this time.

"I'm glad." Minho says, smiling since Jisung is having a good time.

"Faster!" He says since it is still going pretty slow.

Minho pushes it only slightly more.

"Come on, faster!" Jisung says, laughing a little.

Again, Minho doesn't push it that much more. He loves teasing Jisung like this.

"Hey, push harder!" Jisung says playfully.

Minho pushes harder this time and now Jisung is spinning faster.

"Weeee!"

After a few seconds, Jisung starts getting dizzy.

"Ah, can we slow down now?" He asks.

Minho slows it down, letting Jisung get off.

Jisung gets off, stumbling into Minho's arms for a second before he gets up again.

"You good?" Minho asks, still holding on to Jisung.

"Yep! I was just a little dizzy!" Jisung replies.

"Alright then, let's go check some other things out." Minho says, taking his hands off finally.

They hang out in the park for a while before finally getting to the swings. It is almost 6:00 PM.

The sun is setting, and it looks beautiful outside.

"It's so pretty!" Jisung exclaims.

"It sure is, huh?" Minho says.

Jisung seems to be staring into the sunset admiring its beauty, but what he doesn't know is that Minho is staring at him, admiring his beauty.

Minho stares at Jisung, taking in his cute features. The sun shines on him just right making him look like an angel.

After a few seconds pass, Jisung looks at Minho and is shocked to see that Minho was already looking at him.

He doesn't say anything, nobody breaks eye contact, and they just sit there staring at each other, tension filling the air around them.

A few moments pass and Jisung can see as Minho takes a quick glance at his lips before looking away.

"It's nice outside, right?" Minho says, snapping Jisung out of his thoughts.

"Oh, uh, yea... Yep!" Jisung says.

"Well, do you want me to walk you home now? I would take you back to my place if you wanted, but I can't cause I got something going on tomorrow, I gotta wake up early." Minho says, standing up.

"Oh, sure! What do you have tomorrow? I mean, you don't have to tell me, but I'm curious!" Jisung says, standing up as well.

"Oh, it's nothing. Just a meeting with my dad's company." Minho says, seeming not excited as they start walking towards Jisung's apartment.

"What? Isn't that good?" Jisung asks.

"Well, yea, I guess. It's just going to be boring, haha." Minho says.

"I can message you if you want!" Jisung suggests.

"That would be perfect." Minho smiles.

"Okay, I will then!" Jisung says.

The two continue walking towards Jisung's apartment as they chat and have fun.

As soon as they get to Jisung's apartment, Minho notices Jisung is still wearing his clothes.

"Shit, I totally forgot your clothes at my place. I can go grab them quickly." Minho says, ready to go get them.

"No, no! It's okay! Unless you want your clothes back tonight, you don't have to. I can get them another time and give these back!" Jisung says, smiling as he holds Minho's hand, stopping him from leaving.

"You sure?" Minho asks.

"Mhm! Thank you for walking me home, I appreciate it! It's scary outside alone at night!" Jisung says.

"No problem, wouldn't want anything happening to you." Minho says, ruffling Jisung's hair.

"Also, do you think you could message me when you get to your place? I don't think I will be able to sleep if you don't cause I will be too worried something happened, haha!"

"Don't worry, I am a good fighter. But yes, I will." Minho says.

"Thank you!" Jisung says, a bit reluctant to ask what he is about to ask.

"So uh, can I maybe... hug you?"
