Minho paced back and forth, his nerves frayed with anticipation and excitement. The sun was setting, painting the sky in rich shades of orange and pink as it dipped below the horizon. Minho adjusted the string lights for the final time, ensuring they were perfectly aligned. He glanced at the cozy tent, its wooden poles supporting a draped white fabric that shimmered softly in the fading light. The soft glow from the lights created a magical, intimate setting he hoped would make Jisung feel cherished.

Minho's thoughts wandered to Felix's playful advice earlier that day. Felix had given him a hard time, saying, "Just be yourself, Minho. Jisung already likes you. You don't need to impress him." Minho had laughed off the teasing, but it hadn't made his nerves any less tangible. He straightened the candles, making sure they were evenly spaced around the picnic area. Each detail had been carefully chosen, from the arrangement of the food to the small touches that made the space feel warm and inviting.

As he made final adjustments, his phone buzzed with a message from Felix: "Don't mess this up! Remember, it's about making memories, not perfection." Minho smiled, feeling a bit more reassured. He took a deep breath, trying to calm the flutter in his chest. The sound of the waves crashing in the distance provided a soothing background to his mounting anticipation.

Meanwhile, Jisung was preparing for the evening in his apartment, a mix of excitement and nerves fluttering in his stomach. He selected a light, delicately patterned button-up shirt in pastel colors. The shirt's soft fabric and slightly loose fit added an element of elegance and comfort. He paired it with stylish, relaxed pants that had a unique flair, reflecting his creative personality. As he adjusted his outfit in the mirror, he couldn't help but feel a thrill of excitement. Tonight felt significant, and he was eager to see where it would lead.

Jisung took a moment to admire his reflection, adding a simple bracelet to complete his look. He thought about how far he and Minho had come, recalling their recent conversations and the new depth to their relationship. With one last check, he headed out, his heart pounding as he walked towards the beach.

"Don't be weird, Jisung. And don't do anything you might regret later."

Arriving at the beach, Jisung was immediately struck by the beauty of the scene. The setting sun cast a warm, golden light over the sand and the enchanting setup Minho had prepared. The tent, with its soft white fabric glowing from the string lights, created a cozy haven amidst the vast expanse of the beach. The gentle waves lapping at the shore added a serene soundtrack to the picturesque setting. And Minho...Minho looked incredibly handsome.

He was dressed simply, he was wearing blue jeans and a long sleeve linen shirt. His blonde hair was also carefully
combed.

"Wow, Minho," Jisung said softly as he approached, his eyes widening with admiration. "This is incredible. I'm definitely not mad at you anymore. With this, you've already fixed most of what you did."

Minho looked up, his face lighting up with a mixture of relief and happiness. He let out a small, nervous laugh, the tension finally easing from his shoulders. "I'm so glad you like it," he replied, his voice a blend of nervousness and excitement. "I just wanted to show you how much you mean to me, and how sorry I am."

He met Jisung's gaze, his sincerity shining through. "You deserve this."

Oh my god...he really went all in. This man wants to drive me crazy.

They began to unpack the picnic basket together, their hands brushing occasionally, sending small, electrifying shivers through both of them. Minho, trying to ease his nerves, made light of his earlier struggles. "You know, I think I'm now an expert at string lights. It took me forever to get them right."
