🎧 Fakin' - Sumin, Yoon (Stayc)

Saturday.

“why are you so slow jun!” seungmin exclaimed once the boy left the house after what felt like an eternity of waiting. he simply shook his head before locking the door. “let's go on our date now!” he exclaimed, seungmin's eyes widened. he put his finger on the younger boy's mouth before walking away. “don't say it so loudly.” he scolded before walking to the nearest bus stop.

hyeongjun nodded and followed him. “you're still in a bad mood, of course.” he muttered, seungmin simply shook his head. he didn't think he was particularly irritated today. he just didn't want the entire street to know that he was going on a date with his partner. “i don't get why you never call me your boyfriend.” hyeongjun let out, anytime they were out — or even just between each other — seungmin would go to extreme lengths to avoid that word. “i still remember that time you called me your counterpart.” he said as he giggled. seungmin rolled his eyes playfully before ruffling his hair. “whatever, go find us seats in the bus.” he pushed the boy in first as the vehicle arrived.

since it was saturday, and the bus was heading to the mall, it was completely full. the eldest held onto one of the hangers from the ceiling of the bus. hyeongjun held onto his shoulder but was pushed off quickly. he furrowed his eyebrows but then held onto the seat in front of him.

“thanks for giving me the homework answers, i really didn't want to have detention again.” seungmin spoke, breaking the silence that was starting to get uncomfortable. “anytime.” he replied coldly, not even glancing at the older boy. he was staring at the floor, without even blinking. “the next stop's ours.” he said, he nodded, still not looking at him.

seungmin tapped on his shoulder as the bus stopped and scanned his card. hyeongjun followed after him, and they headed inside the mall.

the cool air from the aircon immediately hit them, making hyeongjun slightly shiver. seungmin noticed and quickly took his hoodie off and handed it to the boy. “oh! thanks seungmin.” he said and put it on, he slightly smiled at him before continuing to walk, looking back at the ground.

seungmin had been staring at him, he noticed how much he was ignoring him and furrowed his eyebrows. “why are you acting this way?” he asked, stopping in front of a coffee shop. he tapped on his shoulder and let him walk in before him. “maybe it's cause you're acting like a complete asshole, something's troubling you. you're not talking about it to me which just makes it worse, so you closet yourself even more.” he explained, seungmin shook his head. before replying he looked at the menu. he quickly ordered before ordering for the younger boy.

they went to sit at the table near the corner of the shop. “that's bullshit! you're saying i'm gay.” seungmin replied angrily, hyeongjun rolled his eyes in annoyance. “are you fucking serious right now seungmin?” he asked, not changing his tone, he sounded strict, but not overly angry. he nodded, he didn't understand why he was so mad. “you're "dating" me, but you act like you don't even care for me. by title, you are my boyfriend. you're the one who confessed to me.” he reminded him, when he mentioned the word "boyfriend", he distanced himself from seungmin briefly. hyeongjun sighed, knowing that this wasn't the first time, and it was no where close to the last.

“uh, two lemonades?” the waiter smiled awkwardly while holding the tray. he placed the plastic cups on the table in front of them. he realized that he had just interrupted what seemed to be a rather serious conversation. “sorry. and uh, enjoy.” he spoke before quickly returning to the cash register. “look seungmin, I'm tired of this, I'm tired of faking the fact that we aren't dating, i want a boyfriend who isn't afraid of admitting the fact that we're dating. heck, someone who isn't afraid of a goddamn word!” he finally lost his temper and suddenly stood up, he wasn't one to usually make a scene, but he had enough. the boy at the table next to them had been overhearing everything, it's not like he wanted to. it was just, since it was an emotional argument, they didn't exactly control the volume of their voices.

seungmin got out of the chair to go after him. “han hyeongjun, you come back right now!” he exclaimed, trying to get his attention. he only turned one last time. “ive had enough seungmin, im breaking up with you.” he simply said before walking away.

seungmin stared dumbfounded, he scratched the back of his hair in confusion. he scrunched up his nose and shrugged. “what a date.” he muttered to himself.
