Jisung paid the uber and hopped out quickly, searching for a particular boy.

xSungiex: I'm here, where are you

Can you send a pic of what you're wearing so I know what to look for?

zhong_LeLe:

He looked up from his phone, holding the picture still at eye level so he could quickly look between the photo and the people around him.

Quickly, he found the boy he was looking for and ran up to him with a smile, "Lele!"

The blonde spun around and nodded as a hello, because of his mask Jisung couldn't tell if the boy smiled back or not.

They went and got food before going to a shooting game, Lele didn't seem to be very happy but Jisung was grateful that he was trying to be.

After that, they went to the go-karts, this time Lele let out a few small laughs as he sped ahead of Jisung, who was not very good at it. The younger didn't even care that he lost, he was only happy to hear Lele laugh.

It was evident the boy was unhappy with something in his life. Jisung didn't know when but he'd made it his mission to cheer Lele up during the two weeks he was here.

Once they'd finished with the go-karts, it was time for the dollar coasters. Lele was insisting on going on all the big scary ones, Jisung decided to bare it for his new friend.

That proved to be the wrong decision as he ended up screaming the whole time, but on the positive side, Lele was laughing out loud by now.

The rest of the day they spent eating and playing, a lot of laughs were shared between them.

They walked out of the amusement park at the end of the day, still with bright smiles on their faces.

Until Jisung remembered something, he froze in place and pulled out his phone. The time read 9:56, he'd never make it back to the motel in time.

"Ah shit," He threw his head back with a sigh, dropping one arm and rubbing his face with the other.

"What's wrong, Jisungie?" Lele asked in his signature broken korean. He was better at reading and writing hangul than he was at speaking, he often would pronounce things strangely or say the wrong words.

"Nothing, it's just that I don't think I'll be able to make it back in time."

"You have somewhere you need to be?" The older was confused, he thought Jisung's only plans were to hang out with him.

"No, but the shitty motel my parents dumped me at has a 10:00 curfew. So basically I'm locked out for the night," He'd never been more stressed, he'd have to sleep on the streets of a city he'd only been to less than 5 times before.

Lele thought about it for a while before grabbing Jisung's hand and pulling him towards his car, "Come on,"

"Where are we going?" He hurried to keep up with Lele so he wasn't being dragged as much.

"You can stay at my place," Jisung was speechless, it didn't help that he was being lead to a gorgeous black chevrolet corvette.

It was a silent drive to Lele's house, apart from the quiet TXT playing on the radio from the aux cord. Lele took into consideration that Jisung didn't know much Chinese and went as far as purposely playing only korean music.

"We're here," Jisung was in awe at the huge house they'd just pulled up at. Trees and gardens surrounded it, the dark wood of the two story house worked well with the colours of nature.

"This is my room, you can borrow some of my clothes tonight. We'll go back for your stuff tomorrow and you can stay here until you have to leave."

"Thank you Lele!" He squished the Chinese boy with a tight hug, something unusual for Jisung as he typically hated skinship.

"Yah! Get off, you're all smelly from today. You can hug me after you've showered," Lele dumped a towel into Jisung's arms and pushed him toward the ensuite.

He kept his promise as once they'd both showered and dressed, they fell asleep all cuddled up in his bed to fight the harsh night chills.
