As soon as Jonghyun knocked on Taemin's door, the younger opened it and smiled.
"How'd it go? Did you get his number?" Taemin questioned and Jonghyun couldn't help the giggle that came out.
"It went great, he's so handsome in person, and we have a dinner date at The Spark" Taemin's mouth fell open.
"No way! Do you need another outfit?" Taemin started towards his room and Jonghyun shook his head.
"I'm just going in this, but you may want to change" Jonghyun smiled as Taemin's face went from confused to shocked to excited.
"Kibum's gonna be so jealous" He laughed and disappeared into his room.
"You might wanna hurry, he said to meet him at 6:30 and it's quite a walk" Jonghyun checked his phone, smiling absentmindedly.
"Why'd you invite me too?" Taemin's question was accompanied by the sounds of clothes and hangers rustling.
"I got a little nervous, and I was hoping having you there would make me more confident" Jonghyun admitted, fidgeting with his pockets.
Taemin seemed satisfied with that answer, now quietly getting ready as Jonghyun counted the seconds.It wasn't long before they were walking out of the apartment, smiling the whole way there.
They arrived about fifteen minutes early, but to their surprise Minho was already there.
"He must've been excited" Taemin elbowed Jonghyun with a smile and the older just shrugged him off.
Minho spotted them then, smiling and waving and Jonghyun's heart beat got louder he swears.
"Hey, you're early" Minho held out a hand and Jonghyun took it.
"Speak for yourself" Jonghyun tried to keep the eye contact, but he felt his cheeks heat up, "Um, this is my friend Taemin" He gestured to him and Taemin smiled.
"Nice to meet you" Minho's the first to say it as they shake hands.
"Oh, it's nicer to meet you" Taemin insisted and Minho let out a small laugh.
"Thank you" Minho looked down with a smile, then met eyes with Jonghyun, "Shall we go in?"
Jonghyun nodded and they followed the CEO into the restaurant. It wasn't super fancy, and Jonghyun was thankful for that. The staff seemed to smile bigger as they saw Minho, and he couldn't tell if they recognized him because of the media or because he comes here often. They were seated quickly and Jonghyun was suddenly nervous to look at the menu, asking for just a water rather than another drink that he may be charged for.
"This is one of my favorite places to eat, I suggest the spicy rice cakes" Minho caught them off guard with that, both expecting the CEO to have a more refined taste.
"That sounds great" Taemin opened his menu and it gave Jonghyun the confidence to open his.
He was pleasantly surprised by the prices, not cheap but not expensive either, and he decided he'd take Minho's suggestion.
"This place feels very comfortable" Jonghyun laid his menu down and looked around, taking it all in.
"I'm glad you think so, I used to come here a lot as a kid, and I just never stopped coming" Minho was also looking around, taking in the memories, but now Jonghyun was staring at his amazing profile.
"Hmm, I think I'll try the black bean noodles, I'm really craving some" Taemin's voice had Minho looking over, and Jonghyun panicked for a moment, hoping the CEO didn't catch him staring.
"Those are great" Minho smiled, "What are you getting, Jonghyun?"
"The spicy rice cakes, you sold me on them" Jonghyun smiled back, hoping it didn't come off as nervous.
"Do you wanna get a large order to share?" Jonghyun really hoped his cheeks didn't immediately turn red at that.
"Uh, sure, I'd love too" Jonghyun nodded and Minho giggled at him.
If his cheeks weren't red earlier, they were now.
