"So... Moomin pajama pants, huh?" Donghyuck teased.
"Shut up, Renjun got them for my birthday!" Harin pouted at the boy across from her as Donghyuck burst out into bubbles of laughter.
The pair sat at the local café near Harin's apartment. She could only watch with adoration in her eyes as the morning sun rays beamed at Donghyuck, causing his skin to glow. His eyes shone as they crinkled up at the ends, his body shaking from hysteria. It was almost as if he was becoming one with the sun.
Donghyuck's laughter was soon interrupted by a loud ring. Harin jumped at her vibrating device as it shook the table. She played with the silver ring on her finger as she read the caller ID.
Siyeon.
When Harin picked up the phone, she was met with the scolding voice of her roommate.
"Harin, where the hell are you?! You completely disappeared!"
Harin opened her mouth to answer when Donghyuck grabbed her hand, shaking his head.
She furrowed her brows at him in confusion, before quickly attending to the phone call.
"I had to run some errands... I won't be back until a lot later," Harin quickly covered up.
"Well, you should have told me... I thought Hyuck kidnapped you or something."
Harin nervously laughed.
"No, of course not... He just came to ask if I had my History notes from last class."
She sent a glare at Donghyuck who was stifling his giggles at her lousy excuses.
"Okay, well, I'm gonna be spending the day at Jeno's, so don't freak out when you don't see anyone at home."
"Alright, have fun!"
Harin immediately ended the call and slammed her phone on the table, reaching up to hit Donghyuck's shoulder.
"Why did I have to lie to her?" She questioned him.
Donghyuck simply took a sip out of his Iced Americano, shaking his head.
"This is our secret, it'll only stay between us."
◇◇◇
Harin wasn't going to lie, she had spent about an hour and a half with Donghyuck and she was having the time of her life. Something about his company made her feel complete. Maybe it was because he kept insisting that they hold hands or perhaps it was because he opened the door for her when they were getting in his car. His little actions made her face flush and for once, her heart wasn't crying through unsteady rhythms. Instead, it was basking in pure happiness.
They reached the small clothing store hand in hand as Donghyuck jumped joyfully at the thought of buying more hoodies. Harin knew that he had a very extravagant sense of style and she adored every bit of it. Whatever he wore, he made it into a statement. Even now, his eccentric patterned black and blue button down shirt looked impeccable with his skinny jeans.
When they entered the retail store, Donghyuck wasted no time in dragging Harin to the to the very back. The racks were filled with skirts and dresses in all sorts of colors and patterns. Harin stopped in her tracks pulling at his hand, as Donghyuck turns to give her a quizzical expression.
"I thought we were shopping for you," she started.
Donghyuck bit his bottom lip.
"We are..." The boy dragged out causing Harin to widen her eyes at him.
Donghyuck soon shrieked with laughter, pointing at Harin.
"Oh my god, your face was to die for!" He managed to let out in between laughs.
Harin scowled at him, her face turning beet red.
"And that was even cuter!" The boy exclaimed, attempting to catch his breath as he held his stomach.
Harin's eyes widened once again as she felt the heat rise up to her cheeks. Her face turned even redder.
Donghyuck stifled his soft giggles as he brought up a hand to rest on Harin's cheek. She stared back at his serene eyes, a hint of mischief glimmering in his dark orbs.
"Wow, you're really warm," he commented, softly grazing her cheekbone with his thumb.
Harin shivered at the contact and looked down at Donghyuck's black Doc Martens. He was only inches away, allowing her to feel his warm breath cascade down her face. All of a sudden, the air felt too hot as Harin became tense under his touch.
"O-okay! Let's go look for clothes..." Harin stuttered out before sprinting to the nearest rack, examining a random skirt with a faint blush on her cheeks.
