Day 11: “I see you every year at Halloween with the best costume ever (though always the same one) and we exchanged numbers and became internet buddies but why won’t you accept to meet face to face any other days.”

It started as an accident. Jonghyun had dressed up as a Pokémon master for the Halloween party and Minki had gone as a bunny that looked almost suspiciously like that one bunny Pokémon and so they were dubbed the Pokémon couple. It had been awkward at first; they had never talked to each other before and they already were a “couple” but they got along really well and the awkwardness disappeared in the blink of an eye. Not that either minded. Now the awkwardness was gone they were way more comfortable than imagined which made them talk all night and it ended up with exchanging numbers.

And they would see each other at every dress-up party they were invited to. Honestly, it wasn’t that surprising since they had like, the same friends, and it was strange that they had never met before. Next, to seeing each other at the dress-up parties they texted a lot with each other and became internet buddies.

To be honest, their texts were about everything and nothing. Some nights they would just discuss the best walkthrough of games and other times they would talk about anything that bothered them.

It’s just that they never met face to face other than at those parties. It was their second Halloween together when Minki brought it up.

“Ya, Jonghyun,” he began, “Why don’t we ever meet outside these parties?”

It had kept Jonghyun silent for a while and it started to make the younger afraid. What if the older don’t want to meet up? What if the older actually disliked him and only saw him as a bother that he couldn’t get rid of?

“You’re right,” Jonghyun replied, agreeing. He agreed but didn’t purpose that they would meet another time so Minki just kept silent. He really didn’t want to bother the older any more than he already did.

“Shall we get some more drinks?” Minki asked and already stood up without knowing if the older wanted to. He himself was getting some anyway since his working brain was making him worry about everything and some drinks would really do his brain good to shut up. “Just bring me something not too strong please,” Jonghyun requested and Minki nodded before leaving, indicating that had heard him.

The walk to the bar wasn’t exactly easy nor pleasant; a lot of people knew Minki and a lot of those people were drunk already (remind him later that he needs to find himself some new friends later) so every time someone recognized him they felt the need to talk to him, hug him or sometimes even kiss him. What he didn’t know was that Jonghyun was fuming, back where they sat, looking at how everyone touched hís Minki. Minki just brushed off the people and requested a cola Bacardi and one on the beach before going on this journey back.

They talked, drank and laughed. Minki was mentally planning their first date that wouldn’t be on a Halloween party. Little did he know that Jonghyun was planning on taking him home.

(I'm not exaggarating when I say that on the beach and cola Bacardi are amazing drinks)
