And On the 14th | Seventeen JiHan | Joshua x Jeonghan

August 14, Green Day

Joshua sighed as his professor droned on. Nothing was worse than statistical analysis on a Wednesday morning. He didn't even know why he was taking the class, he didn't need statistical analysis. The things you did to fill your schedule all the way. He could be doing so many other things right about now. He could be cuddling with Jeonghan, going to lunch with Seungcheol, playing Mario Kart with Junhui, or hell, he could even be tutoring that freshman Jeonghan had practically adopted, Chan. Anything would be better than sitting in a 10:30 statistical analysis class. Someone nudged him in the elbow, and he shook his head to clear away his daydreams.

"Dude, are you gonna need my notes, because you are zoned out to death right now," Joshua's friend Minhyun murmured in his ear.

Joshua rubbed his hands over his face, "Yeah, thanks man. I'm sorry, I've just got my mind in other places right now."

Minhyun smirked and nudged him again, "I know what you mean, I've got plans with my Jonghyunnie after class. You got plans with Jeonghan?"

"Probably. Every fourteenth has been a surprise so far this year, so I'm sure that's just gonna continue."

"Well, today's a nice one, so you should have something to look forward too," Minhyun smiled at him.

Joshua smiled back at him, before turning back to his notes, or, the empty page that was pretending to be his notes. He wrote down what was on the board, his pen smudging his graphs. He got through half of the board when the professor dismissed them. He packed his things quickly, following Minhyun out of the room.

Minhyun turned to him as they walked out, "Let me know how your date goes today and I'll send you my notes tomorrow."

Joshua clapped the taller boy on the shoulder, "Thanks man, I appreciate it. Have fun with Jonghyun tonight."

He left Minhyun then, making his way back to his dorm. The day was cool and the sun was shining, all good signs for the day ahead. He didn't know what his plans were for later, but he knew that good weather could never hurt.

Stepping back into his dorm, he was surprised to hear humming. He turned the corner, spotting Jeonghan at the kitchen counter, pink apron wrapped around his waist. Joshua smiled, nothing was better than coming home to see Jeonghan. He walked up behind his boyfriend, wrapping his arms around his waist. Jeonghan stiffened for a second before relaxing in his hold.

Joshua pressed a kiss to the side of Jeonghan's neck, "And to what do I owe to pleasure of your presence in my kitchen?"

"Just thought I'd get ready for the holiday here. Cook up a few things."

Joshua backed up a few inches, Jeonghan cooking was never a good idea. The boy could set fire to water and Joshua swore that he made things terrible on purpose.

Jeonghan seemed to sense his thought process, turning and slapping Joshua on the chest, "Rude! If you must know I had Mingyu do all the parts that required actual cooking, so you can eat at ease. But I thought I'd cut up some fruits and things for us to snack on. I am good with knives you know."

Joshua shuddered, "That knowledge terrifies me every day."

Jeonghan chuckled, turning back to chopping up what looked to be apples. Now that Joshua was looking, he could see a few areas of chopped and sliced fruits, strawberries, cherries, pineapples, even some kiwi. There was a picnic basket set on the floor by Jeonghan's feet.

Joshua returned his tight hold of Jeonghan's waist, "So, is today Picnic Day, or something?"

"Close, but no. Today is Green Day, a time for couples to be out in nature. Perfect for my Bambi."

Joshua blushed, hiding his face in Jeonghan's shoulder.

Jeonghan just continued on, "Usually couples will go on hikes, but I absolutely refuse to go any higher in elevation than I already am, so I figured we could have a picnic by Han River. This is usually just an excuse to drink soju, but I decided that we should at least be in nature while we do that."

Joshua laughed, trying to picture a tipsy Jeonghan trying to climb a mountain, "That sounds good to me. Do you need my help with anything?"

"Just help me put all this stuff in the basket ad we can head out."

So Joshua helped Jeonghan pack the picnic basket, failing to sneak a bite of any of the food inside. Jeonghan had smacked his hand when he tried, not even relenting when Joshua pouted. He was stubborn that way. He would have tried harder but he reasoned that he'd be eating it all soon, he just had to wait for a little bit.

They walked to the river hand in hand, Jeonghan holding the picnic blanket as Joshua gripped a blanket in his free hand. It was still cool out, the sun still shining, and Joshua smiled at the fluffy cloud that passed lazily overhead. They weren't alone in their picnic idea, many couples spread out on blankets along the river, but Joshua couldn't blame them. A picnic was romantic and simple, just how he liked everything with Jeonghan to be.

They set up under a tree so they would have shade, Jeonghan immediately pulling the food out and arranging it on the blankets.

Jeonghan pulled out a roll of kimbap and held a piece of it to Joshua's mouth, "Mingyu helped me make this, try it."

He opened his mouth wide and allowed Jeonghan to place the food in. He hummed as he ate it, pleasantly surprised at the taste.

He leaned forward and kissed Jeonghan on the lips, "It was really good Angel."

Jeonghan grinned and ate a piece himself. His smile widened as he chewed and Joshua wished he had taken a picture. Nothing was more beautiful than seeing Jeonghan be proud of himself for something he clearly worked hard on.

Joshua laid down and rested his head on Jeonghan's lap, allowing him to place fruits in his mouth. There was something so calming about laying in the sun with the person you love the most.

Jeonghan fed him a strawberry before leaning down to kiss him, "I'm thinking about cutting my hair, what do you think?"

Joshua reached up and fiddled with a strand of Jeonghan's long hair, "I think you'll look beautiful with anything you decide to do."

Jeonghan pinched Joshua's cheeks, "My baby is so good with words. Who told you you could say such sweet things to me."

Joshua smiled and allowed Joenghan to kiss him all over his face, before finally settling on his lips. They kissed slowly, the taste of Jeonghan's lips that of kiwi, mixing sweetly with the taste of the strawberry that Joshua had just eaten. Jeonghan sighed as they parted, resting his forehead on Joshua's own for a little while.

They stayed that way for hours, talking and eating fruits, stealing kisses as the breeze blew, before Jeonghan pulled the first soju bottle from the picnic basket. He handed one to Joshua who took it with a smile.

Jeonghan held his up and clinked it with Joshua's, "Happy Green Day Joshuji, I love you."

"I love you too Jeonghannie."

They each took a drink from their bottles, Joshua clenching his eyes as the liquor burned down his throat. He laughed as he noticed Jeonghan pulling two more bottles from the basket. This was probably not a smart idea, getting drunk like this on a weekday. Joshua knew how it would go. He would get drunk and Jeonghan would only get tipsy, forcing Jeonghan to have to carry him back to his dorm. They'd pass out fully clothed on his bed, and they'd wake up late to class or to Seungcheol laughing at them. But he found that with Jeonghan at his side, he didn't really care.
