Most people preferred to go watch a fireworks show with their romantic partner. However, being single was not a valid excuse to refuse to go and enjoy it as well. At least that's what Yun Ho and Jae Joong thought that night.

The eldest was the most excited because of the whole show that had been announced for weeks. Yun Ho was not paying so much attention to the pyrotechnic games and the colors they used to illuminate the sky. His attention was entirely for JaeJoong’s happy face, for he looked lovely when he played as if he could catch the stars and lights. He could swear that, during that moment, time froze and they were the only people on the planet.

The way back was long and they were tired, but both of them felt very happy. Suddenly, without saying anything, they held each other's hands and interlaced their fingers. Just like that, without a reason. They then exchanged a smile and continued walking. "A perfect night," thought the tallest one.

After a while, Jae Joong thanked him sincerely for agreeing to go out with him. And a second after that, Yun Ho made a serious mistake.
"This ... looks like a date," he said without much thought, feeling the blood instantly rise to his cheeks. Even so, he could not withdraw what he had already said.

"Huh? What are you saying, Yun Ho?" he laughed nervously. "Stop joking. This is not a date; it's just two good friends hanging out."
"Ah, this is… Yes, yes, of course. This is just two friends hanging out."

Jae Joong looked away and, before the other boy could react, his fingers were no longer interlaced. Although it was not very cold, Yun Ho did not take long to miss that warmth.
