Soobin sits down at a desk in the detention room, Yeonjun sitting at the one beside him. A teacher comes in and sits at the front desk, supervising the two boys.

Soobin sighs and takes out his phone to tell his mother he wouldn't be home until late. The other boy, however, calmly rests both his legs on the desk and starts whistling.

Half an hour later

"Psst. Soobin-ah?" the taller male looks up from his book to the seat on his left. "What?" he whispers back. Yeonjun gestures his head at the sleeping teacher. "Wanna get out?"

Soobin smiles at him. "Sure." He checks his watch. 4:45pm. Not too late to get a coffee or something. He follows Yeonjun out the room quietly, making sure not to wake the teacher up.

"Let's go to the café, Hyung?" he asks the older male after leaving the school building. "Okay, why not?"

During the 15-minute long walk there, Yeonjun was mentally contemplating whether or not to take Soobin's hand. In the end, he decided on his arm around the taller male's waist level, since his shoulder was too high to reach. Soobin was quite fine with it. In fact, he enjoyed having Yeonjun's hand there.
(I'm storythrowing aren't I)

The café was less crowded than last time, so the pair had sat at the same place as the last time they were here. Currently, Soobin is once again updating his mother about things, and the other is deciding on a coffee or a tea.

"Soobin."

"Hmm?" he replies, not looking up from his phone. "Are you, by any chance, into guys?" The other boy chokes on air. He looks at Yeonjun. "Into guys.? I don't know.." he stops to cough a little, " ..I don't think so? I mean, I do think some are attractive, like.." He stops to search for examples.

"Like the school's representative, Park Jimin? Or that Hueningkai friend of yours. He's pretty adorable." Soobin unconsciously gushes. "Not that I like him, of course. I just find him, well, friendly." he says with a genuine smile as the waiter comes to take their order.

Yeonjun is slightly taken aback. He had never heard anyone say Hueningkai was cute. Well, maybe one or two shameless admirers, but not cute in the babyish way. He tells the waiter his order, and slumps into his seat. "Another question. Are you single?" This time, Soobin answers without hesitation.

"Yes, why?" "Just curious."

Yes, Yeonjun thinks. Mine for the taking. "How tall are you again?" Soobin puts down his phone and thinks. "1.85m, I think. What about you?" Yeonjun sighs. "..1.82m." The younger giggles. "Don't be discouraged, it's just a few centimetres' difference."

Yeonjun smiles at hearing that giggle. It was one of the most comforting sounds he had heard. "Yeah, I'll just have to deal with it."

A few minutes later, their drinks came. Soobin sips his tea before asking yet another question. "Um.. could I have your number?" he looks down, looking a little bit shy. The other had to resist reaching over to kiss his forehead. "Oh, of course! It's XXX XXXX XXXX." Soobin types that in his phone and adds Yeonjun to his contacts as 'Hyung'. "Thank you."

"What do you do on your phone anyway?"

And the 'getting to know each other' session went on. The duo found out a lot from each other, some secrets were spilled as well, though those that needed to be kept were kept. Soon, Soobin had to leave and go home.

"I'll walk you back." Yeonjun offers. "Ahm, thanks, but you don't have to." Soobin mumbles, slightly embarrassed. "I don't want to be a burden."

How are you a burden? Yeonjun didn't like people saying things like that. Everyone needs help, no one's perfect. He pushes in his chair and walks to the exit, Soobin beside him.

It's pretty quiet this evening. The only sounds are the males' steps on the hard pavement. They seem to be fine with it, neither of them feel like talking.

"Soobin?" Yeonjun suddenly asks. "Yes?" "Do you know what it feels like, well, to be loved? By anyone at all?" He stops and turns to face Soobin, who did the same. "I.. um.. my mother loves me?" the younger tries to talk. He feels shock at having a question like that thrown at him suddenly. Yeonjun, with a serious expression continued on. "I mean, by a lover?" Soobin was yet again taken by surprise.

"No.. I haven't really asked anyone out and nobody's asked me. The only person I have closest to even a friend is you." he smiles. "Oh, okay! I just want to let you know that you can count on me, alright? I'll be there for you." Yeonjun says cheerfully, lightening the atmosphere. He holds out his hand to Soobin, who takes it happily.

The wind lifts their hair as they walked, carrying several dead leaves along with it. Hands still intertwined, the two talk about many things-people, interests and dislikes- until Soobin reaches his home. Yeonjun stands in front of the gate, waving to Soobin who's walking into the house, looking back and waving as well. Yeonjun then turns around and starts walking to Hueningkai's house.

Back to Yeonjun

Yeonjun was walking back when he felt a slap on his back. "That was horrible, dude. Even Kai could do better than you." Beomgyu's infernal voice could be heard from behind him. "Like you can do any better." Yeonjun glares at Beomgyu, rubbing his back. "Look who you're talking to. I've got the best boyfriend in the world, and you're saying I can't get someone to date me?" he smirks, putting his arm around an extremely red Taehyun who just emerged from his back. "Don't say that, I'm not.."

"You're too cute. This is what I mean. Hey Jun, what about flirting? That's how we got together." Yeonjun rolls his eyes. "No, I'm going to do this my way, and for the last time, get yourselves a room. Goddamnit, I'll literally throw up."
