Work Text:
Me and Younghyun are looking at each other right after the car's engine suddenly stop. We're in the middle of busy street, but thankfully I got the car's stopped at the side road. Some cars honking because of my sudden park but it got stopped not long after I get off and give apologizing gesture to the cars behind us.
Younghyun open the hood and looking out the engine, trying to find the problems, but not long after he just sigh then face me. "I don't know."
"I don't know either." I replied him then we both laugh, laughing out this funny situation and our zero knowledge about car engine.
He decided to call a car mechanic he knows, then we wait patiently inside the car that starting to get kind of steamy.
I pull down the window to get the air inside, "Fortunately I experiencing this with you. If I'm alone I would be so panic by myself. It would be too miserable." I laugh in tiny.
"I gave you the car mechanic number, you'd be fine even if you're alone." He just found some paper from the back seat, my work paper, and use it to fanning me.
I closer my face to him then close my eyes, enjoying the wind he make.
"Take turn every 5 minutes..." He said makes me smile.
We busying ourselves like that until the mechanic arrives and looking out the problems. After some times, he told us that the car needs to be craned to the service shop because he couldn't fix the problems here with his limited equipment. He explains the problems in detail, but I don't get it, so I just leave it all to him. After we make sure we got the things we need inside my small sling bag, me and Younghyun decided to just walk until the nearest bus stop.
He check the maps for direction to the nearest bus stop, then leads me, walking through the street block with surprisingly unique designs and colors on every buildings. There are some murals too on many walls of these buildings. And with the golden hour that's happening at this moment, everything just look surprisingly beautiful.
"Now you thank me that we didn't take taxi, right?" He said after shot me a couple pictures.
I smile happily.
"Stand right there, the golden sunlight looks good there. I'll take some aesthetic picture for you."
Then he working hard to shoot many aesthetic photos of me, and it turns out so good that I'm whispering 'wow' when checking every pictures he took. "You're really good at this. I look like a model."
"You're just pretty, that's why." He embrace me from the side.
"Let's take some aesthetic picture together..." I look at him, our faces are so close now due to his hands on my shoulder while looking at the pictures on my phone together with me.
"How?"
I look around then we try many things after that. We lean my phone to some power pole, lean it to his phone somehow, in such ways, to help one phone stand to each other, setting the timer then shot us together.
"Wow, it surprisingly turns out so good?!" I scream excitingly upon seeing at the photo of us in front of colorful wall. The low angle makes the whole wall behind us captured beautifully, plus the golden sunlight is just making it more aesthetic, I'm so satisfied with it.
Younghyun laughing in tiny, in disbelief that this creative (more miserable way, honestly) way to take our picture together is actually works. So we do a couple more shots before continuing our walk.
He reach out his hand somehow, ask me to hold it and I do it right away, smiling. We walking hand in hand now, still with the golden sunlight and beautiful buildings around us.
"You tired?"
"Not yet." I swing our holding hands up and down, smiling to him playfully. "When I'm tired, will you piggyback me until the bus stop?"
"Sure."
"Really?" I challenge him, "I'm heavy, though. I just stopped dieting."
"I'm strong."
I laugh helplessly, our hands still swinging in comfortable rhythm, in synch with our steps. But suddenly he stepping further from me, to the side, make our hands stretch out to opposite directions. I smile because of it, he is too. Then suddenly he pulls me by my hand to him, makes me come close to him, right beside him, our side bodies meet each other. We laugh and he quickly put his hand on my shoulder, embrace me again from the side.
So I circle my hand on his waist, match my steps with him even more, to be more in synch with him.
"What do you want for dinner? I cook for you." He said then.
"Hmmmm... what are you confident in?"
"Pasta?"
"Okay, pasta then." I look up to him and notice his smile at me.
He touch some of my strand hair with his other hand, tug it behind my ear, and kiss my forehead in a flash.
"What was that for?" I smirk happily.
"Just... you just look pretty, that's why."
"Then let me kiss your cheek." I ask him to bend down a little bit but he shaking his head to refuse me, make fun of me.
But I tip toeing a little to do it, but he dodge his face away from me, teasing me. So I'm whining at him, pouting my lips. I put my hand on his shoulder now, kind of force him to bend down but then he put away his embrace at me and start to run away from me.
I'm whining again at him who already steps away a little further in front of me. I'm still walking patiently, looking at him with a pout lips, while he stepping backwards slowly, matching it with my steps towards him. When I started to run to him, he faster his step as well and ended up turn around to run away from me, who now chasing him fast.
But of course, he's faster. He's so athletic that I'm out of breath right away. I slowing my steps then, taking breath fast and short while he giggling hard at me. He stop walking and wait for me come to him, really waiting until I'm in front of him, then bend himself willingly at me, facing his right cheek to me to kiss it.
But I flick it instead makes him scream playfully in pain, he seems to know this would happen, so he keep teasing me.
"Really? I'm not giving you any more chances." He said still with his cheek facing me, pointing at it with his forefinger then starts counting.
But I cup his face on my palms and make him fully face me, give a peck short and fast on his lips, stopping his counting. He's smiling right after then standing properly, reaching out my face, take it to his palms too, and kiss me tenderly.
So I circle my hands on his waist and my toes are up again to him, to reply his kiss as tender as him.
"I'm happy." He said on my lips.
"Me. Too." I said it while tap his back two times in the same time with every words I said.
"The bus stop is here already, but should we just take a little more walk?"
I move my sight away from him to check the bus stop behind him, "Should we?"
"We're both in a good mood anyway." He took my hand again, and leads me to another walk.
"Okay, then. I'll follow you, captain."
"We might also see the sunset shortly."
"Hmm, beautiful."
"It's beautiful because you're with me right now."
"Okay, capt! I believe you."
He look at me again and steal another quick peck on my lips. And I thank god in silence that we decided to walk instead of stopping a taxi.
I thank god for this unexpected afternoon date.
