He was not sure why he almost grabbed Taeyong's hand. The awkward look they exchanged in the next second was enough for them to start walking toward the exit of the building. They wore their masks and hats so people couldn't recognize them while walking down the streets. The way was pretty quiet, with occasionally exchanged words about the dance or more dancing, and one-time Taeyong mentioned a cute puppy a boy was leading on the leash.

'So you like dogs?' Ten started.

'Depends.'

'On what?' Ten was curious.

'Their owners.' He was still not relaxed.

'How come?' 

'You can see everything based on their owners. How behaved they are and if they like you to approach them.' Ha stated.

'It's just a dog. I bet people would allow you to pet them if you ask them nicely.' Ten told him his side of the story.

'It's a...' He started with a visible startle towards Ten. 'Nursing  home.' He tried to keep his disappointed voice down, looking towards the door.

'You are right.' Ten turned towards him. 'They have the best ice cream here.' Ten embarrassingly stretched his neck. Was this too weird, and did he make a wrong decision when he decided to come here with Ten?

'Come.' It was the only thing Ten said when he saw Taeyong wouldn't move. With slow and unsure steps, he followed Ten, who removed his hat and mask before he opened the door to a not-that-small building. 

'Ten, you came again?!' A security guard asked him the second he entered. Ten only smiled back, greeting him. Taeyong gave him his short and shy greeting before he ran after
