My Turn [𝐙𝐄𝐄𝐍𝐔𝐍𝐄𝐖 FF] ✓

ᴛʜɪʀᴛʏ ᴛʜʀᴇᴇ

Zee adjusted the strap of Nunew's channel bag as he dragged Nunew with him—again—toward their next destination. The bright amusement park buzzed with laughter and music, a perfect backdrop for what Nunew had planned. 

If only Zee would give him a moment.

This was the plan the boys suggested, but it seems like it's not what Nunew expected to happen.

"Hia, slow down!" Nunew huffed, pulling his arm back slightly.

Zee stopped mid-step, turning to face him with a sheepish smile. 

"Am I too fast?"

"You think?" 

Nunew crossed his arms, though he know couldn't stay mad for long. 

"Sorry," Zee said, not looking sorry at all. "I'm just... excited. It's not every day you let me plan our day out."

"You think you're in charge?" He said raising an eyebrow.

"You planned it, but I'm making it fun." Zee shrugged, smirking.

Nunew rolled his eyes but smiled behind his pout. 

"Just... don't drag me like a shopping bag. I'm not going anywhere."

Zee's grin softened into something warmer as he tilted his head. 

"Yeah, you're not." Without warning, he reached out to tuck a stray strand of hair back under Nunew's cap, his fingers lingering for just a second longer.

Nunew blinked, his heart stuttering at the unexpected touch. 

"Stop that," he muttered, looking away to hide the blush threatening his cheeks.

"Stop what?" Zee teased, eyes sparkling with mischief.

Nunew groaned playfully rolling his eyes.

"Nothing. Just... let's go get ice cream or something."

They walked around until they found a bench near the carousel while Zee held two cups of ice cream. Zee ordered dark chocolate for himself and strawberry for Nunew. Nunew had refused to let Zee choose for him after Zee jokingly offered mint chocolate flavor earlier.

"Here," Zee handed him the cup, fingers brushing against Nunew's.

Nunew accepted it quietly, his gaze dropping to the swirl of strawberry. He tapped the spoon against the side of the cup, nerves building in his chest. 

You're supposed to say it now, he told himself.

But Zee beat him to speaking, as usual.

"Nhu, open your mouth."

"What?" Nunew looked up, confused.

"Just trust me," Zee grinned, holding out a spoonful of dark chocolate. 

"It's not poison." He added.

"I don't like dark chocolate." Nunew stared at him, suspicious.

"Exactly why you need to try it again."

"Hia—"

"Please, just try this once. I won't make you taste it again if you don't like it." Zee cut him off with a laugh. 

Nunew narrowed his eyes at him but opened his mouth begrudgingly, allowing Zee to feed him the bite. He instantly winced. 

"Ugh! It still tastes bitter in my mouth."

Zee burst out laughing, his smile making Nunew's heart race despite himself. 

Nunew glared,  his soft cheeks puffing slightly in protest.
