Chapter Text
seongwu and minhyun decided to meet up in late afternoon for their date. the choice of time is convenient for both of them as they finish all the work they have to do (hopefully) when the sun starts to settle.
during their dates, it is usually minhyun that will arrive early, having been all set thirty minutes before their agreed time. adding to this that he has a very organized schedule to follow– minhyun leaves early to go to the library every saturday, the reason why the other only see him at this time of the day. seongwu had gotten used and memorized his ways that's why he came extra early today. he doesn't like the feeling of making minhyun wait despite how the latter is really early.
now, he is sitting on one of the benches at the park, watching those families that are having a picnic and those children who are busy running around. when his eyes follow a certain child, the pair landed on the bench just across from where is sitting. he was dazed from what he is seeing. no, it wasn't minhyun that he laid his eyes upon.
he is now seeing jaehwan and daniel, sharing the same drink. he can hear jaehwan's hysterical laugh even that he's meters apart. can't he and minhyun really have a peaceful date?
it's not too late, he thinks. he can still save their about to be ruined date by escaping the area. that's right, seongwu sometimes thinks of himself as a genius. he takes his phone out of his pocket to message minhyun about changing location. when the other asked why he told him the reason and the latter agreed without hesitation. seems like he isn't the only one who wants to get rid of the two just for them to have a peaceful moment together.
he carefully stood up from his seat and slightly covered his head so that the two would not notice him. seongwu asked himself if he looks suspicious because of how he sees the looks of the people giving him. he knows he didn't do it right when he heard a familiar voice, the one that he is not ready and will not be ready to hear the most at the moment.
"hyung! seongwu hyung!" oh right, it's jaehwan.
seongwu regained his composure as if he wasn't hiding from them earlier. he awkwardly smiled at them, hoping that they won't notice the obvious.
"where are you going, hyung?" jaehwan asked, looking excited, as always. sometimes it makes seongwu anxious if he is up to something. "isn't it a nice day to treat your dongsaengs?"
he can't help but to grunt, inwardly, because he cannot be obvious that he is going to a date and he will almost be late now. the time he spent going early will be put into nothing if he's going to show himself to minhyun at the right time.
"wow you really wore nice clothes today, hyung!" daniel said, with the cheerfulness in his voice equating jaehwan's. "do you really stroll the park with that kind of outfit?"
he scanned what daniel is wearing–shorts and rubber shoes–sure this lad just had a jog. his clothes are very contrasting from seongwu's. it made him realize that maybe he exerted too much effort in dressing himself.
seongwu can't do it anymore. five minutes haven't passed by with these two but he's feeling all the stress that costs a day. the two, unaware of his initial plan, keep on blabbering things to him and he just couldn't excuse himself.
thankfully, minhyun came. oh no, minhyun is now here. seongwu came to check his watch and it is twenty minutes passed their concurred time. after seeing minhyun (and getting the clue that the two have a date), daniel and jaehwan bid their goodbyes. of course, with a teasing.
"arrgh, this is so frustrating." seongwu just ruffled his hair after the two are out of his sight. "i came early... i really prepared for this and that's what happened."
minhyun couldn't help but chuckle. he finds seongwu cute at this kind of situation. it's actually fine with him; the truth is he saw seongwu earlier but kept on watching his conflicted face. he was busy smiling at the corner and came just when he thought that they should be spending time together.
after their encounter with the two, they proceeded to the nearby café and ordered their drinks.
"my ongcheongie," after settling on their seats, minhyun didn’t waste time to put his hands on seongwu's cheeks, gently giving them a squeeze. "why are you so cute?"
minhyun's actions made seongwu confused. is he okay?
"i was there earlier." minhyun chortled. "it was entertaining to see you so i didn't come early to rescue. you are really cute."
betrayal is evident on seongwu's face. he couldn't believe that minhyun was there all along, watching him suffer. he pouted and pretended to sulk but he will always be weak for minhyun, who is now laughing heartily.
just after that, they started to talk from how their day was up to the random things that came to their minds. this went for hours until the two reluctantly decided to go back to their apartment. both of them really liked the ambiance of the café.
they enjoy the city lights that their eyes meet as they walk hand in hand on the busy streets. when they cross the road, there's this car that almost hit him. seongwu couldn't let this go.
"hey! ahjussi! don't you know how to be careful?" seongwu looked furious at the moment. he then looked at minhyun to ask if he's okay. they are okay because the car is almost a ruler far from them, but seongwu won't let this pass. what if it harmed minhyun?
"it's alright. i'm okay. let's go now." minhyun said before bowing again to the driver. he doesn't want any further troubles. besides, they weren't really hit and he thinks seongwu's overprotective side is coming out again. not that he doesn't like it, it's just he is causing a scene now.
"no, minhyunnie." seongwu said before turning his face again to the driver. "hey get out of the car! talk to us!"
the driver rolled down the window and let out his head slightly to apologize. minhyun bowed again (he's bowing too much) as a form of apology. seongwu almost made his way to the driver when minhyun held him, reminding him that the light will be red.
it later sunk in that the driver's voice is familiar when they had crossed the road.
seongwu keeps on asking if minhyun is alright until they have arrived at their apartment. minhyun just made him shut up with a kiss.
bonus:
later that night seongwu received a message from his senior. the idea of even viewing it didn’t cross his mind because he wants his cuddle time with minhyun undisturbed but the latter told him to just read for it might be an important message.
jisung hyung 22:38
seongwu-ya, this is jisung hyung. i’m really sorry about earlier. you know how nervous i am when it comes to public roads
ㅠㅠ i'll be careful next time
jisung hyung 22:39

minhyun noticed how seongwu’s face changed after reading the text. peeking over the phone to see the content, he couldn’t help but to laugh out loud at what he read.
so it was jisung. did seongwu embarrass himself again?
