    The two manifested in the backyard of the extremely large mansion set up. Donghyuck, back in the place he was the day before, got off the large bench next to the fire pit. He turned around to try and find the pink-haired boy. However there was no immediate sign of him anywhere. Rather confused, the tan boy started to walk around. He first started at where he was, not finding a trace of Jaemin around the benches or near the fire pit itself. He circled the little perimeter of the area, trying to get every angle in his line of sight- despite the place being extremely bare with no place to hide.
    To no avail of finding the athlete, he continued around to the outside barbecue station. He peered around the corners of the large marble countertops and pillars that created the mini kitchen. Checking the cupboards and drawers just in case, although there was no chance such a tall kid could even find his way in there. Besides, all he found were cooking utensils and food that was supposed to be refrigerated. He even peered over to the other side of the counters just in case Jaemin happened to be hiding from him just for fun. Nothing.
    Then there was the large garden near the back. Donghyuck took a glance at each flowerbed. He opened the shed to see only the tools, that really had no use, laying on the shelves and hanging on the walls. The greenhouse was unbelievably bare of any pink tones as it was all coloured in simple plants and small tress. And the large cherry blossom tree beside the mini waterfall seemed to lack any presence of the younger teen. Still nothing.
    "JAEMIN?" No response. 'Maybe he is in the house.' Donghyuck scoffed. If that was the case, he was just wasting time searching around here when he could've been with the programmer, doing something more productive.
    Before going inside, he decided to make one last check near the pool. His bare feet felt cold as he stepped away from the dewy grass and onto the cold stone of the poolside. The water was of a crystal, pristine aquamarine, with a few slides and jumping boards here and there. He had a clear view of the shallow end to see there was no evidence of the star student. A cold breeze made Donghyuck shiver and the honey haired boy became a bit more quick in trying to find the other teen.
     He briskly walked over to the of the deep end and sat down to take a peek over the edge. There he found the rising figure of Jaemin, who unfortunately happened to manifest in the water. The tease struggled not to laugh at the bad luck as the pink haired boy broke out into the surface to get some air. However his stifled snickers died out when he came nose to nose with his crush. While he was trying to catch his breath, Jaemin's lips hovered only inches away from his own. His eyes were half lidded, probably trying to recover from the chlorine that entered. Either way, Donghyuck was forced to pull back in fear of becoming redder than a rose.
    The other didn't seem to notice and swiftly made his way out, his black shirt sticking to his skin. He wiped his eyes to free himself from his blurry vision, pinching at his clothes and pulling at them. With the simple gesture they became dry which Donghyuck was relieved to see. 'I don't think I'd be able to survive otherwise.'

-We should probably go inside.

    Jaemin nodded, still catching his breath and gestured for him to lead the way.

[CLOSING PATIO DOOR.....]

    It was a prompt walk over to the living room, where it all started. Donghyuck grinned proudly as he let the pink haired boy take a seat on one of the chaise lounge's. He felt rather happy with how well his large house had turned out in the end and was considering becoming an interior designer one day because of it. Though it wasn't exactly the pinnacle of the entire history of interior design, he was still satisfied with the result of his planning. And looking at Jaemin, he could tell his crush was thinking of the same thing. The teen's eyes were staring rather intently at the video game consoles by the tv and switching the attention to the figures in the corner across from him from time to time. The honey haired boy was practically over the moon thinking of how much they could talk about, considering the fact that the other was glued to his prized possessions.
