"Seungmin please I need your help. Seriously." Hyunjin fell to his knees in front of the sleepy brunette that stared at him with widened eyes. The ravenette was getting on his nerves since the morning when he begged to tag along for shopping.

Seungmin agreed, just because he thought some time out of the house would be good for the older, but he hasn't stopped talking about his angel boy and it was seriously getting on Seungmin's nerves.

"You're embarrassing yourself. Get up, you dramatic bitch." He tried lifting the taller up, but nothing helped. He still stared up at him with pleading eyes, standing his ground. Seungmin looked around them with stressed expression and yanked at Hyunjin's elbow.

"People are staring, get up or I'm leaving you here." He hissed at the begging male who kneeled in front of him in the middle of a shopping center. "Please Seungmin-ah I need your help really really badly."

"I'll help you, just get up, jeez." The brunette rolled his eyes and Hyunjin jumped up to his feet again. Happy like a puppy that got a new toy he ran after his annoyed friend, thanking him.

"Don't speak to me now, I'm mad at you for embarrassing us like that." Seungmin muttered, disappearing into one of the clothing stores. "I'm sorry. I'll buy you something, don't be mad."

"Buy me a house."

"For what? We work at the mansion anyways." He followed after him, running his fingers over the fabrics. "Then buy me a new keyboard since you've spilled coffee on the one I have now."

"Okay. Send me a link." Hyunjin stopped in front of Seungmin who looked up at him slightly furrowed brows before he pressed a shirt to his chest. "And I want this."

"Sure. Anything else?" He took the shirt from Seungmin who looked around the store and shook his head.

"I think that's enough. I'll make sure to ruin you with the keyboard though." Hyunjin smiled at the comment, happily nodding to himself.

It was obvious Seungmin wasn't mad at him anymore and it made him happy that he was getting the help he so desperately needed.

"Thank you." Minho sent a timid smile towards Jisung who placed a plate with four waffles with whipped cream, caramel topping and fresh forest berries on the side in front of him.

Plopping on the seat beside him, Jisung held his cup of coffee in the both of his hands to warm them up. He was well aware that he was staring at the older, and that the attention of everyone in the room was on them, but he didn't pay any mind to them.

He felt happy. Finally getting healthy amount of sleep, because of how safe he felt in Minho's arms. The older made him feel wanted and cared for. It was only natural for him to treat him back nicely. It was also a form of an apology since the words 'I'm sorry' still felt sour in his mouth.

"I have a few things to take care of today, but then we could watch a movie or something..?" His cheeks involuntarily caught a subtle shade of pink under the surprised look on Minho's face. "We don't have to if you don't wanna." He muttered, suddenly focusing on his coffee. The weight of Minho's eyes was unbearable. Those deep chocolate orbs brought up something from within him. It made him weak in his knees.

"It sounds nice." Minho answered timidly, his eyes glued back to the waffles, he slowly picked apart.

"Okay..." Jisung hummed with a happy smile. He was excited. Already planning everything he had to prepare in his head to make it worth it.

Chan cleared his throat, standing up from the table. His hand gently grabbed Jisung's forearm, the younger giving him a confused look. "Babe we need to talk." He muttered with a tensed smile that irked something in Jisung. He started getting nervous.
