"Does this look okay to you, Dae?" Kim Minseok asked, straightening the cuffs of his dress jacket in the mirror.

Kim Jongdae came up behind him, still in the oversized tee shirt and dinosaur shorts he had worn to bed as pyjamas, his mouthful of popcorn.

"Min, you look sexy." Jongdae remarked through the mouthful of popcorn.

"Doesn't make you look sexy when you talk with all that food in your mouth." Minseok laughed. He reached up and shook his hand through his purple hair, straightening it out as best as he could. "And you have popcorn kernels stuck to your lips."

"Fuck me, Min." Jongdae commented, setting his bag of popcorn down on a dress table and wiping at his mouth with his thumb. "I meant that in more ways than one, ya know." He peered over at Minseok from under his eyelashes.

"Oh, shut up." Minseok told him, rolling his eyes. "But seriously, does this look okay? It's important, Jongdae, really."

"I already told you, you look great, as always, Min." Jongdae said, wrapping his arms around Minseok's waist from behind and nuzzling his face into the crook of his neck.

Minseok leaned his head against Jongdae's, leaning into him and placing his hands on Dae's arms.

They stayed like that for a moment, both of them eventually closing their eyes. They both leaned into one another supporting each other.

Minseok loved this.

He loved having Jongdae close, as Jongdae radiated heat as if he was a space heater.

Minseok, on the other hand, was often cold, to the point where his friends would randomly walk up to him and hold his hands in theirs, warming him up.

Minseok never minded nor noticed the cold. In fact, he preferred the cold over the heat.

But Jongdae was warm, and he was the only heat Minseok truly loved.

With his arms wrapped around him, cuddled close to him, Minseok wanted to stay like that forever. He wanted to reach out and stop the hands from ticking on the clock, stop time.

But he knew he couldn't. He had important things to do. He could cuddle with Jongdae later.

"Dae." he said softly, taking his warm arms away from his waist and grabbing his hands instead. "I have to go."

"I know, Min. I know." Jongdae replied, matching Minseok's soft tone as he stepped back away from him. "Where are you going, anyways?" he asked, looking up and talking normally.

"Interview."

"For what, Min?"

"A job."

"Min, didn't you already get accepted?"

Minseok nodded. "Yes, but I have to be interviewed to know where I can be positioned."

"Can I drive over with you, Min?"

"Sure, I guess. I mean, I might be long. You might be kinda bored."

"I don't care, Min. I wanna come."

"Well, I'm leaving soon, so make sure you're ready."

"Es'te der'mo i umrite." Minseok muttered, leaning against the wheel. The wheel made a long, screeching honk sound, and he reached over beside him and flicked the car off so the sound stopped.
