Pestering Woojin over to lunch went easier than expected. Seungmin had told Minho to bring Jisung out for lunch and told Yedam to accompany Jeongin while he snuck out to see Woojin. He was certain that the actual reason why his brother didn't really mind was that he was too heartbroken to actually care. But what he saw happening in the cafe was certainly ain't it.
There he was, his brother, Kim Woojin, talking to the barista, Chan to be exact and it seems like they were flirting? Maybe he could help things a bit. Taking out his trusted blackberry, he starts to do his job (which he had neglected because of his friend -his boss, Sungjin would be so disappointed-I).

Now, let the magic unfold. He thought as both Woojin and Chan took out their phones to see the email. He could see that there wasn't much change of behavior with both of them and Seungmin couldn't help but let out a relieved sigh. If there wasn't much of a change, that means the couple would be more likely to be together.
Giggling to himself, he couldn't help but feel proud of helping his brother. "Eherm." The sound of someone clearing his throat startled Seungmin, and when he turned, he was met with Hyunjin's chest.
"Oh my god, I'm sorry, I didn't mean to startle you," Hyunjin said, giving him an apologetic smile. Shrugging it off, Seungmin somehow found the courage to ask Hyunjin to eat lunch with him since Woojin seemed to be too preoccupied with Chan.
During their walk back, Hyunjin seems to be caught up in his thoughts that Seungmin had to pat him a few times to get his attention. Concerned, Seungmin asked Hyunjin if he was okay in which he was replied with a small smile and a nod. Unsatisfied, Seungmin held Hyunjin's hand which Hyunjin was somewhat taken aback off.
"What are you doing?" Hyunjin questions. "Well sometimes when Jisung feels down, we'll walk around holding hands. Jeongin prefers going to the park and play with the swings. Since we're nowhere near the park then holding hands it is." Seungmin answered easily, though he was actually dying inside. What in the world possessed him to take in Hyunjin's hand?
"Well then, I could get used to this," Hyunjin said locking eyes with Seungmin before giving him a wink. "What?"
Hyunjin didn't answer but instead faced ahead, hands still holding Seungmin's tightly and somehow along the way, their hands intertwined.

"So, Seungminnie, what's your plan for valentines?" What first was supposed to be a best friend hang out has now become a baking class for housewives. At first, it was just the three musketeers, then in came Changbin, Woojin also came home and joined and Younghyun who apparently is done with his studies in Canada is back and joined in the fun.
When Jisung said Dowoon's valentines gift was a surprise, Seungmin clearly didn't think it was this big of a surprise. Younghyun was baking a chocolate cake while Jisung opted to make a simple chocolate bonbon. Changbin was baking cookies with Jeongin while Woojin and Seungmin had decided to make some croissants (with chocolate fillings) and pretzels (covered in chocolate).
"I don't really have anything planned for valentines," Seungmin replied with ease. The offended gasp from his friends caused him to look at them in confusion. "What?"
"Wait. Does that means that Hyunjin still hasn't asked you out?" Jisung asked. Changbin made a sound that Seungmin couldn't decipher and said "That brat couldn't even look at him without freaking out over how cute he is"
And with that, the afternoon was filled with teasing and laughter. Though Seungmin is convinced that it had become a housewives baking class, he wouldn't change it for the world.

When he arrived at the school during valentines, he could see couples making out, not caring about people who are watching *cough* Minsung *cough*. Seungmin looks over at Jeongin's locker and saw Yedam leaning in, giving Jeongin an innocent peck on the lips. Satisfied, his eyes search for Changlix, blatantly ignoring Minsung's unnecessary pda. When he saw Changbin giving Felix cookies while looking at him with so much adoration in his eyes and Felix's eyes reflecting the same affection, he couldn't help but feel satisfied. This is why he loved becoming a matchmaker.
"Seungmin," smiling, Seungmin faced the owner with a croissant and pretzel in hand. "Hyunjin." Hyunjin let out a small chuckle as they both look at each other. "Well, I have something for you," Seungmin said, breaking the silence as he passed the box filled with pastry to Hyunjin.
"And I have something for you," Hyunjin said, taking Seungmin hand in his. "Kim Seungmin, will you be my boyfriend?" Hyunjin asked, biting his lips as he usually does when he's nervous. "Of course. I'd love to Hyunjin." Seungmin said, grinning.
"Wait, is that the only gift you got me?" Seungmin said, teasing the older. "Actually no, now be a dear a turnaround." Once Seungmin turned, he could feel a cold metal on his neck. Hyunjin had given him a necklace with a heart carved with the letters hhj<3ksm.
"Thank you," Seungmin said, smiling from ear to ear. "Well then, can I ask for another gift?" Hyunjin asked. "Sure. What do you want?"Seungmin answered, "I want you to kiss me." Hyunjin said. Seungmin blushed harder than he ever did before and gathered up his courage. "O-okay."
Trying hard to control his heartbeat he leaned towards Hyunjin and when their lips touched, he could feel electricity running through his veins. No wonder Minho and Jisung kiss so much, it's super addicting.
"So boyfriend, where do you wanna go today?" Hyunjin asked, after the kiss. Even though Seungmin would love to kiss his boyfriend again, he knows that he has class and he wasn't very keen on public affection.
"Can we just cuddle in my room? I don't wanna go anywhere." Seungmin said, pouting a bit. "I wouldn't mind but wouldn't your parents be mad?" Hyunjin asked. Seungmin just replied "It's okay, I can handle this" and gave Hyunjin his best grin

In the classroom, Seungmin took up his trusty blackberry and began to do gods work

Now his parents would be too busy being bunnies in the bedroom to care. (And Seungmin did this during their anniversary last year and it worked like a charm, he was free for 2 weeks except for that one time he accidentally walked pass their bedroom and was scared for life)
Seungmin loves his job and most importantly, he loves his friends and family.
