A date
A DATE is what supposed to happened today, Joshua watched all cringe articles till late night yesterday,
'how to dress? '
'how to behave? '
'what to order? '
Even as worst as 'how to laugh.. '
And maybe stars on his side or late night study, it went smooth!
Seokmin successfully made Joshua laugh atleast 5 times in 4 hours!
Even though there topics are only around Jeongin or Seokmin's University, it was still worthy shot!
The way they walked side by side on footpath,gazing street lamps,neon boards,feelings the cold breeze, Seokmin even put his Jacket on Joshua like movie!
"I wanna apologize." Seokmin said kicking pebbles on footpath.
"About?" Joshua asked.
"Those three days! that's so stupid and cringe! Aishh,that was really embarrassing."
Seokmin crouch down dramatically.
Joshua laughed out loud..
" Atleast don't laugh!"Seokmin said sulking.
" Ok Ok I will not.."
" It was Chan's idea and I really don't know why I even followed, That's looks so Eww now!"Seokmin said walking face in hand.
" It's not."
" What?"
" It' s not.."
" What you mean by that?"
"..."
" Yahh Hyung! Don't walk away tell me..what does it mean?...Hyung..."

" Hello Dad! "Hansol said taking sit infront of his father, purposefully ignoring the Tension in air.
"Wanna explain?" His father asked sternly.
His mother sighed in frustration," let me change in another perspective "she said.
“I don’t understand,” his mother began, her voice sharp, tinged with exasperation. “You left Seungkwan. You walked away from your responsibility, from your own daughter, Hansol. And now you’re saying you want to go back? Why?”
Hansol looked up at her, his dark eyes glistening with determination. “Because I was wrong, Mom. I was a coward back then, and I didn’t realize what I had until I lost it.”
His father leaned forward, his elbows resting on his knees. “You think you can fix everything by just deciding now? You think your love will erase the damage you’ve done?”
Hansol flinched but nodded. “I don’t expect forgiveness overnight. I don’t even expect Seungkwan to welcome me back easily. But I’ve spent years regretting what I did. And every time I see my daughter, I realize how much I’ve missed. I want to make things right—not just because I feel guilty, but because I love them.”
His mother scoffed, folding her arms. “You don’t get to call this love. You abandoned them, Hansol. Seungkwan raised your daughter on his own, and now you want to swoop in and play the hero?”
"That sounds unreal by your mouth" Jeonghan comments,voice menace.
Seungcheol put his hand on Jeonghan's shoulder ,, signalling his to quite.
“It’s not about being a hero,” Hansol argued, his voice firm but laced with desperation. “It’s about being there for them now, even if it’s late. Seungkwan deserves someone who loves him, who’ll stand by him. I wasn’t that person before, but I want to be now.”
His father remained silent, his sharp gaze never leaving Hansol. Finally, he spoke, his tone measured. “You’ve made your decision, but have you thought about theirs? What if Seungkwan doesn’t want you back? What if your daughter resents you? Have you prepared yourself for that?”
Hansol swallowed hard. “I have. I’ll accept whatever they decide, but I need to try. I can’t live the rest of my life wondering what could’ve been.”
A silence settled over the room. His mother shook her head, visibly frustrated. “I still don’t agree with this,” she muttered. “He is being selfish, don't go to him, Hansol.”
“No,” Seungcheol interjected, stepping forward. “He’s doing what’s right. It takes courage to face your mistakes and try to make amends. .”
Hansol looked at his brother, gratitude flashing in his eyes. “Thank you, hyung”
His father leaned back in his chair, his expression unreadable. After a long pause, he spoke. “If you’re serious about this, Hansol, then prove it. Not to us, but to Seungkwan and your daughter. Words mean nothing without action.”
Hansol nodded, his resolve solidifying. “I will, Dad. I’ll prove it to them.”
His mother sighed, standing up. “I still think this is a mistake, but it’s your life. Just don’t make things harder for us! ”
Hansol watched as she left the room, the click of her heels echoing down the hallway. Seungcheol placed a reassuring hand on his shoulder.
“You’ve got a tough road ahead,” Jeonghan said, “but you’re doing the right thing.”
Hansol looked up at him, a faint smile breaking through his tension. “Thanks, hyung. I just hope I’m not too late.”
A clear image on Moonbin crossed through his mind..

"Hyung!" Mingyu said putting a lemonade on Counter
"Ohh nice" Wonwoo picked it up,"why you here though?"
"This library got to much into my schedule,I just missed it.." Mingyu said swiping his card,his name flashes on screen.
"Comics are on 9th section" Wonwoo said sipping his drink.
"Huh?" Mingyu asked shocked.
"I believe you will search that!"
"I hate it but you were right!" Mingyu said sulking.
"You are baby in big body...Go..yesterday we got few new additions.."Wonwoo said waving hand in air.
" Ohh really?"and with sparkles in eyes Mingyu ran towards Section 9.
