Taeyong and Jaehyun walked on the sidewalk, the younger gripped on the other's wrist while he lagged behind, unable to yank his arm off this strong grip. He lets Jaehyun lead the way, as he has nothing in mind ti visit, he just wanted to escape.

Jaehyun stops, Taeyong immediately bumping onto his back. He stepped back to see the look on the latter's face, his dimples showing as it was a signature to whenever he smiled, and that was he was expressing right now.

"What do you wanna do?" He asked

"I said we would just walk around" Tayeong said with boredom tone lacing in each word. He switched immediately to his normal demeanor, not wanting anyone to see this euphoric state of his.

"But we're already out here, might as well do whatnot's" Jaehyun continued to walk but his hand were behind his head, his biceps slowly showing as the uniform sleeve steadily fall.

Taeyong couldn't help but stare at this arms, despite the hating the idea of looking at the things like a boy's muscles made him feel weird. He was just like Jungwoo and Taeil, who would drool over and admire boys, but he never really showed it.

"Is it always that lonely there?" Jaehyun's words diverted the older's attention to him.

Taeyong didn't say anything, but just walked along with Jaehyun, he didn't know what to respond. It was true that his neighborhood was always empty and felt like every man is for themselves. No one greets each other nor let their children play with other children. Especially his family, who loathe at people financial lower than them and a lower social status than theirs.

While they passed each store, one caught Taeyong's eyes, it was ice cream and Jaehyun caught on to this quickly as he was paying attention to the older slyly.

"Do you want to eat something?" He asked like he had no idea that the other was dying for ice cream.

Taeyong shook his head 'no'.

"Are you sure?" Jaehyun's eyes turned to the older, who was hiding his expression. He couldn't help but chuckle at this dear moment.

"Yes, I'm sure, now can you shut up and walk quietly?" Taeyong walked slightly faster.

Jaehyun laughed at adorable manner of his boyfriend, and looked at where the shop was. He walked and grabbed the older by the wrist once more and dragged him towards the store.

"You could've just said that you wanted it, I don't mind" They walked back to the place, Taeyong lagged behind as he was so embarrassed.

They entered and was greeted by bright and loud colors, random and miscellaneous items scattered around as design. The two approached the counter, they saw someone's hair bouncing, to what they seemed to be dancing.

"Ah hello?" Jaehyun tapped the glass.

"H-Hello, welcome to I Scream! What can I get you?"  A hair stopped dancing and stood stagnant, they were both confused until a boy appeared, they assumed he stood on a stool.

"Oh you're that kid from school" Jaehyun pointed at the now blushing boy.

"Y-Yeah, I had to fill in for a friend today, I don't really work here"
