Yeonjun noticed that the younger boy liked to read, and so he decided to bring the younger to a book cafe. He had multiple ideas in mind, but he decided to go for a more lighter concept so as to not overwhelm the brown haired boy on their very first date, and wanted to get to know the boy better.

"Oh my god junnie, you did not just bring me to a book cafe for our first date." Soobin exclaimed, with both his hands covering his mouth as he entered the place.

Yeonjun internally panicked. "Why? Do you not like it?"

"You kidding? I love it! This is heaven right here! I've been dying to go to one of these places, but I just didn't have time to." Yeonjun heaved a sigh of relief hearing the younger say those words, and praised himself for picking a good place for their date.

Soobin grabbed Yeonjun by the hands and dragged him to an empty table. They quickly settled down, and Soobin continued to admire the cafè.

It was an aesthetically pleasing place. It looked very modern with the different unique shapes of racks filled with books and two-levelled pods where you can lie down to read and play games at the same time. The lighting gave off a very homey feeling, with the smell of coffee lingering in the air.

Soobin was definitely liking this.

"So, do you want to eat first or do you want to explore for a little bit before eating? And oh, I'm paying for everything today."

Soobin pouted hearing the last sentence. "Fine, I'll pay for deserts then, no objections. And yes, I'd like to eat first, I'm pretty hungry right now."

"Okay, deal, you'll pay for desert. So what do you wanna eat?" Yeonjun asked, and Soobin started eyeing the menu.

He finally settled with kimchi fried rice and ramen to along with it together with a mocha frappe for drinks. Soobin sat down alone at the table as Yeonjun went to order their food.

Soobin scanned the place once again, sighing in content. At this point, there was nothing better than this. A thought also jumped into his head. How did Yeonjun know that he wanted to visit this place?

Yeonjun came back with the food and the smell managed to snap him out of his trance. The visuals were crazy. Soobin could drool looking at the food and the aroma made it even worse, but in a good way. Or its probably just because he's really hungry.

"Thank you for the food, I'll eat well!" Soobin said before he dug in, and groaned in delight as the flavour starts to burst in his mouth. Yeonjun just chuckled, and they ate in peace.

"How did you know I wanted to come here?" Soobin asked in the middle of their eating session.

"I just noticed that you liked to read. Either on your phone or physical books, so I decided to bring you here. I thought that this place was pretty cool too, so I gave it a shot. I'm happy you liked it."

"I love it, thank you so much. I'm living the dream right now. Let's play 20 questions after we pick some books to read and chill in the pod. I want to know you better."

"Anything you want, binnie."

After the delicious meal, Soobin bought the two of them a oreo bingsu as promised.

The two also settled down on the upper pod with the gaming set and picked out some books, and played the game as per suggested by Soobin during lunch.

"So, tell me more about yourself! Then we'll ask some questions in between." Soobin asks Yeonjun who cleared his throat.

"Hi, I'm Choi Yeonjun, nineteen, attends Seoul Arts High and under fashion design and in the dance club. My birthday's on the 13 of September, I'm the only child and I love to dance, sleep and eat. And oh, I'm Choi Soobin's soulmate."

Soobin laughs hearing the last sentence. "Hey, I'm Choi Soobin, eighteen, also attends Seoul Arts High and under interior design and in the arts club. My birthday's on the 5th of December. I have 3 older siblings, and I love to draw, eat bread, and sleep. And I'm Choi Yeonjun's soulmate."

And with that, starts the rounds of 20 questions between the two.
