"What do you need to talk about?" Hyunwoo asked once they got outside and sat on the bench next to the front door.

"Nothin' in particular, I just wanted to be with you," Gingerboy confessed and Hyunwoo was not able to control his wide smile, feeling warm inside after hearing that.

"With me? Everybody is here trying to keep you company but you only want to be with me," Hyunwoo was confused since Gingerboy often preferred being in a larger group of people instead of hanging out as just the two of them.

"I like all of 'em but your company is what I'll miss the most, no doubt," Gingerboy lowered his voice and what he said clearly made him sad. He leaned his head against Hyunwoo's chest.

"Don't talk like that," Hyunwoo instinctively put his arms around Ginger's body. "You're not going anywhere yet."

"I can't hide for long. This is just to get a lil' more time to be with you."

"Hey... Whatever happens, I won't leave you alone," he whispered, having no need to raise his voice even to a normal tone, Gingerboy's head being just under his.

Gingerboy wanted to say he couldn't trust any promises Hyunwoo gave him but didn't want to disappoint the older so he just kept quiet. Hyunwoo was running his hand through Gingerboy's hair. It was overgrown and messy which revealed the effort the owner had to take care of it.

"I think your hair is getting darker. Have you forgotten to dye it?" Hyunwoo said after inspecting the hair for a while.

Jooheon was rapidly hitting Changkyun after hearing that. They had sneakily followed the two others outside, curious to know what they would talk about. "It's finally revealed!" Jooheon mouthed but Changkyun made him quiet, having to focus on what would be said next.

"Fuck off, my hair is natural you know it," Ginger cursed but didn't bother getting away from Hyunwoo's embrace - he hadn't gotten enough of it yet.

"Do I?" Hyunwoo questioned with a humorous tone.

Gingerboy pulled his head back and hit the older's shoulder. Hyunwoo let out a hurt sound that soon turned to a laugh.

"I'm sorry, of course I trust you and your hair," he said softly, his hands sliding down Gingerboy's arms. He leaned closer to press a quick kiss against Ginger's cheek. As he pulled away, Gingerboy quickly grabbed his collar to prevent him from going and made their lips meet for a short moment.

Jooheon started to yell in a high-pitched tone but Changkyun quickly put his hand in front of his friend's mouth, the scream turning muffled. He tried to drag Jooheon away but they had already been discovered.

"What are you doing there?" Hyunwoo asked confidently, having turned to look at the two over his shoulder.

"Just having a smoke," Changkyun quickly said, not realizing he was still covering Jooheon's mouth.

"You're not smoking," Hyunwoo noted after taking a look at their hands and seeing neither of them was holding a cigarette.

Changkyun proceeded dragging Jooheon back inside, Hyunwoo turned back to Gingerboy who instantly looked ashamed.

"You think they saw?" Ginger asked with a tone that seemed a little worried. Hyunwoo didn't bother to mention about how kissing in a public place like that - even though the front of Spotlight didn't have any passerbys that often - always had high chances of someone seeing them. He didn't want to make Ginger feel regretful about expressing his feelings.

"It doesn't matter, they won't think much of it," Hyunwoo looked down to find Ginerboy's hand and to hold it. The younger seemed more anxious than before and Hyunwoo just wanted to hug him. "Let's go back inside, it's so cold here."
