You'd think that after almost two years Jisung would get over him. But you would be incorrect.

     Jisung is now a freshman in high-school. He's 16 since his birthday is early and newly licensed. He drives himself to school everyday and meets up with Hyunjin at the front gate. He goes through first and second period, sees Felix in third and has lunch whith him and Seungmin after. Every day. Without fail. He passes by Minho walking with his friend Chan and Minho gives him an innocent wink.

     Jisung never told anyone of this little routine.

Minho is a senior. Minho is a senior. MINHO. IS. A. SENIOR.

     He never told his friends because he was scared they'd think Minho was weird or one of those super seniors. So, he kept it to himself.

     Today's routine should've been no different. He was always good about getting up on time. But not today.

     He had some...interesting dreams about a certain boy. It's not the first time, but it is the first time the dream was so deep that he slept through four of his alarms.

     He checks his phone to see the time.

8:42am

     "Shit!" He was quick enough grabbing his things. He pulled on some baggy cargo jeans and a gray hoodie. He has an addiction to hoodies.

     He runs over plans in his head. His car doesn't have enough gas to get to the school since he was driving around with Jeongin and Hyunjin shopping by the boardwalk. They were being weirdly cuddly... He can't take Jace's car. He never lets me. And both his parents are at work. Maybe I can catch the bus...
    
     Jace is home sick and laying on the couch. He speaks out from the living room through his congestion, "if you're late I can get Minho to drive you. He's on the way here to pick up his notebook he left anyway."

     Jisung's breath hitches at the idea. He's about to argue against it but his last hope drives by the front of their house. He missed the bus. He sighs before slinging his bag over both shoulders. "Fine...". He plops on the couch and gets out his phone while he waits for Minho.

                               ~

     Minho's phone is connected to the Bluetooth in his car. He's blasting Lana Del Rey until his phone reads out in the automatic voice a message from Jace.

From: "Bullshit🧚‍♀️", Jisung needs a ride

     "Hey siri. Reply: sure. I'm omw rn. Almost to the neighborhood. Send" And he blasts his music once more.

                               ~

     Jisung scrolls through his phone while waiting for him to pull into the driveway. He's holding onto Minho's notebook to give to him.

(Knock knock knock*

     Jisung hops up and opens the door, being met with the beautiful face that only got better as he got older.

     "Morning Jisung-ah~" Minho says when he sees Jisung. That stupid nickname. It always makes me flustered.

     He swears Minho does it to make him blush. It always works, and today is no different.

     He keeps his eyes to his feet and slaps the notebook to Minho's chest, walking to where Minho's truck is parked in front of the yard.

                                ~

Cute

     Minho sticks his head into the house and sees his friend on the couch. "Get better dickhead!" Minho calls out to Jace. "Yeah, yeah. Just drive my boy-crazy brother to school will you?" Jace calls back.

     Minho just laughs and closes the door. He notices Jisung on his phone in the passenger seat. He's wearing sunglasses on top of his slightly tangled curly black hair. Minho smiles to himself and walks around the front of the car to the driver's seat.

     He starts the car and rolls down the windows a little before driving out of the neighborhood with one hand on the wheel and the other resting on the center console.

     They slow down at the stop sign and an idea pops into Minho's head. He takes a right instead of a left...

                               ~

     He's going the wrong way. "What are you doing? The school's the other way." Jisung says confused. Minho plucks the sunglasses from Jisungs' hair and places them on his own face. With a smirk he replies, "You're a smart kid right?" Minho asks.  "Yeah? I mean, I have all my work done for this week." Jisung replies, still unsure of where they're going. "Well then turn off your location. We're skipping school."

.........

     The next 7 hours were spent getting Boba and eating lunch at the boardwalk by the beach, followed by ice-cream that Jisung would've gotten everywhere if Minho hadn't endearingly but aggressively wiped his face with a napkin.
 
     Did Minho choose food related activities just to see Jisungs cute jeekies, as he calls them? Maybe. But did Jisung enjoy it and ask to go to the seaside afterwards? Absolutely.

     Minho follows behind as Jisung lifts up rocks and looks for critters and shells. He found two shells with perfectly placed holes to put on necklaces and showed them to Minho. He put them in his pocket and poked Jisung and gestured to the time to show they had to be getting home soon.

     They walked back up to the boardwalk and rinsed the sand off their feet, heels pink from the friction of the sand. They unrolled the cuffs of their jeans and Minho secretly checked to make sure the shells were still in his pocket.

     They walked back to their parking spot in front of the subway by the end of the boardwalk and made their way back to Jisungs house happy and fulfilled.

     The next day, Minho hands Jisung a necklace with one of the tiny shells he found yesterday while Minho followed behind. "Where's the other one?" Jisung asks. "I-uhm I lost it... sorry." Minho says. In reality, the other was laced onto the same material Jisungs was and strung around his neck hiding under his shirt.
