“Ruto-ya, are you sure about this?” Jeongwoo whispered to his best friend (lover) who’s currently playing and plopped down on his bed.
The rapper told his hyungs that he’ll have a sleepover in Woo’s room tonight because they’ll be playing mobile games.
“Yeah. I’m sure they’ll think it’s just a prank because it’s april fools day tomorrow, but we need to act really good okay?” He chuckled and put down his phone, finally looking at the other who seems like thinking hard about it.
“And then what will we do after that?”
“I’ll go out first and say that I don’t want to see you. And then tell them you will just go somewhere to have fresh air.” Haruto placed his hand behind his head as he stared at the ceiling of the tan-skinned guy’s bedroom.
Everyone, they’re just idiots in love who wants to have a date tomorrow but can’t come up of a good reason so they won’t get caught by the other members.
That’s why it led to this plan.
———
It’s morning now, Jihoon, Doyoung and Mashiho didn’t wake up because of their alarms. Instead, they were forced to go out of their own bedrooms because of loud shouts and wait... did they hear something breaking?
“Yah, what’s happening?” The japanese guy has his eyes half open because he’s still sleepy. They’re currently standing in front of Jeongwoo’s room.
The two jolted when they heard a shout.
“Stop being insensitive! You should stop with your jokes. You think they’re funny?! Ha! No!” It was Woo’s voice.
“Oh, you act like you’re better than me?! For your information, i’m also tired of your childish acts.” Followed by Ruto’s deep voice.
“Childish acts, huh?”
“Yes! You’re so immature, Jeongwoo!”
“And you’re a jerk, Haruto!”
“Then what do you want to happen?”
“You’re no fun. Grow up, will you? I’m leaving.”
Jihoon and Mashiho were frozen in their place. They slowly looked at each other. The older was about to knock and check on the two when they almost yelped because the door burst open.
“Haruto..what happened?” Mashiho worriedly asked.
“Ask him. I don’t want to see his face ever again.” It felt like he was covered with ice. The tall rapper said those words without emotions before walking away.
——
“I think they’re pulling a prank on us!” Junkyu exclaimed, chewing on his gummy bears as the hyung line, together with Mashiho are currently having a meeting (because of the incident earlier) at Hyunsuk’s room.
“You think so? But Haruto looks really pissed when he came out.” Jihoon let out a sigh.
“Maybe they’re just really good in acting, you know, in our webdrama they’re the best actors!” The guy in his pink hoodie insisted.
(Oh, Junkyu you’re actually right. ><)
“They’re always bickering but not to that point just like earlier. It’s my first time hearing them throw words at each other like that.” Mashiho added, trying to steal some of the resident koala’s candies.
“Haruto often ask permission for me to sleepover at Jeongwoo’s room tho. I think they actually became closer these past few days?” Hyunsuk, the eldest was clearly confused at their maknaes’ actions.
“I think it was just a misunderstanding, hmm? Ji and Suk, you should talk to them.” Yoshi, the angel that he is, suggested.
“They both went out. Jeongwoo told me he’ll just have some fresh air. Doyoung was about to come with him but he said he wanted to be alone.”
“Haruto still didn’t come back. Should we look for them?” Jihoon asked, roaming around Hyunsuk’s room and admiring his decorations.
(Ji, you literally visit his room almost everyday.)
“Just let them be, for now. But try to contact them or send a message so we know that they’re safe.”
All of them just nodded with the idea.
——
“Where do you want to go?” Haruto asked the other who was still nervouse because of what they did.
“Jeongwoo-ya?”
“Ruto, let’s go back? I’m scared”. He was close to biting his fingernails but the older was quick to stop. He held his hand instead.
They’re currently in an alley behind a convenience store and there’s no one passing by so they took off their mask for a while.
“Don’t be scared, we should enjoy this day. Besides, we’re outside now.” He assured Jeongwoo and finally, he nodded before squeezing Ruto’s hand gently.
“So, where to?” The low-toned rapper asked, smiling.
“Arcade!”
This will be a long day for them. But atleast, it will sure be a memorable one. It’s always the best feeling when they’re together.
They went to the arcade first. They almost bickered again because Jeongwoo couldn’t keep up with Haruto when they were racing and the younger’s obviously pissed. He want to wipe that smirk on his ‘ boyfriend’s ‘ face.
But it was his chance to tease Haruto when they transferred to the claw machine. The taller was so full of himself and told him that he can get that wolf plushie for Jeongwoo. Yet, they lost a lot of tokens already but Ruto still couldn’t catch one.
“Let’s just play other games! You’ll lose your money on this.” Jeongwoo rolled his eyes at the older who’s still focused on clawing the plushie. He let out a loud groan when he failed once again.
That’s what they did when Haruto finally gave up. They tried playing basketball and some other stuffs at the arcade. They even exchanged the tickets they got for some candies and little figurines.
When they got tired, they decided to eat at a ramen place. The two chose the area where there’s no lots of customers. They almost forgot that they just sneaked out.
“It’s hawt!” Jeongwoo suddenly dropped his chopsticks which caused a splash. Fortunately, he was quick to move away.
“Hey, careful.” Of course, his clumsiness didn’t go unnotice by the older who was seating in front of him. He handed the other a tissue so he could wipe his face.
“But i’m already hungry.” The tan-skinned
guy pouted. Haruto chuckled at the sight. He’s cute.
After eating lunch, they got ice creams for dessert. The two ate it at the park as they watch kids running around. Of course, they also got to reminisce their childhood days.
“We should go home before it gets dark. I replied to Hyunsuk’s hyung message earlier, saying he shouldn’t worry.” Haruto said, now walking side by side without a certain destination.
And to tell you, they’re hOLDING HANDS.
“Jihoon hyung wants to call earlier. But I told him i’m fine and he shouldn’t look for me.” The younger replied
Actually, they’re somehow guilty for making their hyungs worried. But things happened already. They can’t deny that their plan was successful and they’re loving this day so much, although they don’t know what to say if ever the leaders will talk to them.
“Jeongwoo-ya, do you want to watch the sunset at Han River?”
Haruto didn’t get a reply. But his smile was wide when Jeongwoo suddenly grabbed his wrist and they both ran.
It’s a good idea.
“Haruto, isn’t that Hyunsuk and Jihoon hyung?” The younger was already squinting his eyes when they reached Han River.
They saw two people who was also covered from head to toe just like them. The taller has his arms wrapped on the smaller’s waist. And the figures are somehow familiar to our couple right here.
“Huh? That can’t be. Hyunsuk hyung told me he’ll stay in the studio until night.” The taller replied.
“Really? Maybe i’m just mistaken.” Jeongwoo just shrugged his shoulders.
“Come on, Woo. We should take good pictures!” He couldn’t restrain anymore when the other started dragging him.
That’s how they waited for the golden hour. The two distanced themselves from the number of people who’s also watching the sunset but they still made sure they’ll have a good view of it.
“Are you happy today?” Ruto took off his eyes from the beautiful view in front of them, just to look at his BEST view which is none other than Park Jeongwoo.
“There’s no need to ask. I’m always happy whenever i’m with you.” Damn, it made the older feel giddy. Jeongwoo knows how to make his heart almost jump out.
But he’s not even complaining.
“We should do this some other time.”
“But we can just ask permission properly next —“
“Haruto? Jeongwoo?”
Pale.
That’s how we describe our main characters right now.
The two felt like a bucket of cold water was poured into them.
“We-we’re not Haruto and Jeongwoo.” And Park Jeongwoo, the idiot that he is, even denied it.
“Yah, is that really an april fools joke?!” They wanted to cover their ears because of JIHOON’s voice.
Thankfully, no one was still noticing their presence.
“Hyung...” Haruto suddenly let go of the younger’s hand when he saw HYUNSUK’s eyes darted on those.
“What is this? Did you just go out on a date?!” Hyunsuk exclaimed, he thinks the whole day, he’s just confused of the happenings.
Please give him a rest.
“Hyungs, uhm actually..” Jeongwoo talked and pushed his lover slightly, indicating that he should be the one to continue.
“U-uh, we— we actually talked to each other! Yes, we’re now okay. We saw each other earlier and decided to ta-lk things out.” Someone’s praying so hard that the leaders’ will buy their reason.
“Oh, yeah?” Jihoon’s tone (because we can’t see his whole face) is full of suspicion.
“I think I have concluded things. The reason why you’re inseparable lately..are you guys together?” Hyunsuk was pointing at the two and both of their eyes widened. Dumbfounded.
That’s how they end up confessing. The leaders told them it was a big risk that they took and it won’t be easy. ( which actually sounded like it came from a real life experience ??)
Nevertheless, they support the two and they’re actually happy for them. That’s what matters for Haruto and Jengwoo. Though they still want it to be kept from the other members for now.
Now, the four are walking back home. They bought some snacks on the convenience store while on their way when suddenly, they all looked at Jeongwoo who stopped walking.
“What’s the problem, Woo?” Jihoon asked.
“Hyungs, can I ask something?”
“What is it?” Hyunsuk replied, eyebrows scrunched.
“Why are you at Han River earlier too?”
Silence.
No one answered.
“DID YOU GUYS WENT OUT ON A DATE AS WELL?!” Haruto added, who even put his hand on his mouth and couldn’t contain his laugh.
The leaders doesn’t know what to do.
“Hyunsukie, we have to run.”
