Seungmin and Hyunjin arrived at the cafe the older had recommended. They didn't talk much on their walk and Seungmin was cringing at the awkwardness.
The cafe was almost empty with only one table being occupied by an elderly couple. They walked into the cafe and sat down at a table close to the front windows.
"What do you wanna eat?" Hyunjin asked him.
Seungmin skimmed through the menu and told Hyunjin what he'd order.
"Okay, I'll go to the counter and order it." The older said as he stood up.
After a minute Hyunjin returned with the table number and their drinks. They slowly started to converse, mainly about the basketball game earlier.
"-and I was so surprised when the player on the other team scored a three-pointer! I mean, he was so small!" Hyunjin rambled on.
Seungmin just stared at the ethereal boy. He admired the way he would laugh at the own things he said and how he would stare into his eyes as he drank his iced-tea.
"Here's your order." A familiar voice spoke.
Seungmin looked up at the waiter and immediately choked on his iced tea.
Shiz, it's Woojin. Seungmin thought to himself.
Seungmin and Woojin weren't really friends, but they did do an assignment together at one point so they were acquaintances.
Seungmin had hoped that he wouldn't run into anyone from his school while he was on his 'date' with Hyunjin. Rumors spread fast and he didn't want to damage the older's reputation.
"Geez, Seungmin are you alright?" Hyunjin asked him.
"Yeah, I'm fine." He responded trying to hide his embarrassment.
Woojin placed the bowls of ramen on their table and returned to the counter.
Seungmin watched Hyunjin as he scoffed down the ramen.
"He must be really hungry." He muttered to himself.
"Whagh wafs thafft?" Hyunjin looked up, his mouth full of noodles.
Seungmin shook his head as he giggled at the boy's expression.

The two boys had finished their food a while ago but they were still in the cafe talking and getting to know each other. They were so absorbed in their conversation that they had lost track of time.

Woojin's POV
It was getting late and Woojin was preparing to close the cafe for the night, but he noticed that Seungmin and his friend were still in the cafe.
Since there weren't any customers, Woojin would watch them from time to time and listen to their conversations. He could tell that the two had connection by they way they laughed together and conversed.
Woojin didn't want to tell the boys to go home but he didn't have a choice, he was tired and the cafe needed to be closed.
"Excuse me? Sorry to interrupt but I have to close the cafe now so you two will have to leave." Woojin told them apologetically.
"Oh. Sorry, we lost track of time, we'll be going now." Hyunjin apologized.
Woojin gave them a nod and went back to get the cleaning supplies. As he came back to wipe their table, he saw the two boys outside in the distance holding hands.
Woojin couldn't help but smile at the two boys.

Hyunjin's POV
As Hyunjin and Seungmin arrived at the younger's house, they said their goodbyes and Seungmin went inside.
The two had been holding hands as they walked to Seungmin's house and now that they weren't, Hyunjin felt a huge void of emptiness where Seungmin's hand held onto his. He didn't know why he decided to hold Seungmin's hand but it just felt right in the moment.
Hyunjin smiled as he recalled everything that happened in the past few hours and went home.

Seungmin's POV
Seungmin slumped onto his bad, his face in the pillow as he screamed in glee. He couldn't believe anything that just happened.
He didn't know how going to Hyunjin's basketball game ended up with him going on a 'date' with Hyunjin and holding his hands as he walked him to his house, but he knew he had one person to thank.
