Soobin took Yeonjun on a thorough shopping trip to the market, meticulously gathering all the essential items, groceries, and non-perishable foods that could be stocked in the fridge. He ensured that Yeonjun had everything he needed, from fresh produce to pantry staples, and even some comfort foods, as if trying to make up for his earlier behavior with thoughtful gestures. As they navigated the aisles, Soobin's actions spoke louder than words, showing a softer side to his personality.

Soobin took Yeonjun to his family's bustling department store, a familiar haven filled with childhood memories. As they strolled through the colorful aisles, Soobin surprised Yeonjun with a sweet treat, leading him to the ice cream counter. With a gentle smile, he offered Yeonjun a cold, creamy cone, the sweet aroma and taste a stark contrast to the bitter emotions they'd shared earlier. As they savored the ice cream, the tension between them began to melt away, replaced by a sense of nostalgia and tentative reconciliation. The simple act of sharing a sweet treat became a poignant gesture of Soobin's apology and Yeonjun's forgiveness.

Soobin took Yeonjun on a culinary journey to his own seafood restaurant, where he treated him to a delectable feast featuring the finest dishes on the menu. They indulged in the tender raw skate, succulent grilled clams, and flavorful steamed mussels, savoring each bite in comfortable silence. Time stood still as they enjoyed their meal, the warm atmosphere and exquisite cuisine making them lose track of the hours. Before they knew it, evening had fallen, and Soobin was closing up the restaurant. As they stepped out into the gentle night air, Soobin suggested, "How about we grab some drinks?" Yeonjun nodded in agreement, and they strolled off into the evening, the soft glow of streetlights illuminating their path.

After purchasing a selection of drinks, including soju, makgeolli, and beer, from a nearby store, Soobin and Yeonjun returned to the restaurant, where they retreated to a cozy, well-appointed room tucked away at the back of the establishment. The secluded space, often reserved for special occasions or intimate gatherings, offered a warm and inviting atmosphere, perfect for their impromptu nightcap. With the drinks in hand, they settled into the plush furnishings, surrounded by soft lighting and soothing decor, creating a sense of comfort and tranquility that encouraged relaxed conversation and easy camaraderie. Soobin poured Yeonjun a glass of soju, while he himself cracked open a cold beer, and they sat back to enjoy each other's company.

As the night wore on and the drinks continued to flow, Soobin and Yeonjun found themselves succumbing to the warm, fuzzy haze of intoxication. Yeonjun's eyelids grew heavy, and he slowly began to lean on Soobin's shoulder, his head tilting to one side as he surrendered to the comfort of the moment. Soobin, too, felt his defenses weakening, and as he turned to gaze at Yeonjun, their eyes met in a soft, drunken haze. Time seemed to stand still as they locked gazes, the air thickening with a sense of possibility. The space between them dissolved, leaving only the gentle rise and fall of their chests, and the quiet, thrumming connection that pulsed like a heartbeat. In that moment, the world outside receded, and all that remained was the quiet, intoxicating pull of each other's eyes.

Yeonjun's face drew closer to Soobin's, their lips almost touching, as he leaned in with a gentle, tender movement. Soobin's eyes fluttered closed, his heart racing in anticipation, before he claimed Yeonjun's lips in a soft, yet passionate kiss. Their tongues intertwined, exploring each other's mouths with a slow, sensual rhythm.

As they deepened the kiss, Soobin's hands wandered to the back of Yeonjun's cropped top, his fingers tracing the edge of the heart-shaped cutout. He felt the warm, smooth skin beneath his fingertips, sending shivers down his spine. Soobin's hands roamed further, caressing the exposed skin, and Yeonjun's gentle gasps encouraged him to continue.
