Daehyun woke up to a very beautiful sight

Youngjae was in his arms and sleeping peacefully like he had no care about the world

he slowly sat up and gently placed Youngjae's head on his lap so he could take a better view of their location

it had come to a surprise to him to see that what infront of them
wasn't completely a field like what they had thought it was.

It was more of like, half of it was a field and the other half was some sort of body of water. Frozen water.

he was confused at first but it had occured to him that their vision wasn't really clear, considering it was night time when they had first came across this place...

after taking a good look at the surroundings, he then averted his attention to the adorable boy on his lap

he slyly draw his hand on the latters chubby cheeks squizing it gently and moving it up and down

chuckling, he then ran his hand on Youngjae's raven colored mushroom hair.. then he plopped a finger to play on the tip of his cute button nose, wiggling it back and forth but stopped as the latter released a little groan

his eyes then darted to Youngjae's small plump red lips

he remembered so well how he had kissed those face pillows last night. How their lips perfectly molded together. How sweet they tasted..

he shook his head almost instantly

what was he thinking?! since when did he had such ersed thoughts?!

but... he could be honest though...

when it comes to Youngjae... he just don't know anymore.. he can't even control his own body when it comes to the sleeping boy on his lap

he gently touched Youngjae's cheeks again with the tips of his fingers , this time more softly

he stayed watching the fragile being sleep away for awhile before humming some sort of lullaby as he stared at the beautiful scenario infront of them

"hmmp..."

"You're awake?"

he got no response

he looked at the younger only to be greeted by the same sleeping face as before

"I should see if I can get breakfast..."

he searched Youngjae's pocket for the cube before carefully setting Youngjae down as he got up and opened it

when he was about to go in, his eyes darted to the latter looking very uncomfortable from sleeping on the bare hard ground

'what am I thinking?! I can't just leave him there!'

he mentally scolded himself, before silently crouching beside Youngjae.

He slipped his hands on the youngers back and in between his knees, as gentle as humanly possible, carrying him bridal style.

It's a relief that Youngjae's a heavy sleeper today.

He wen't into the cube with Youngjae asleep in his arms before carefully placing him on the bed, even tucking him with the blanket for some extra comfort points.

He slyly made his way to the kitchen.

Opening the fridge, he wondered about what to prepare ahead of time

'what would Youngjae want?'

but more importantly, how was he even going to prepare the food?!

he had no culinary knowledge!!

seeing the fridge's content, he sighed

what was he gonna do?

wait a sec..

a box caught his eyes

"ce- cereal?" he had remembered eating it with Youngjae one morning

but something was missing

surely, they couldn't have eaten just the cereal right?

and then another item caught his eyes

"mi-milk?..... milk! "

he took out both boxes and place them on the table

would it be enough?

he checked the contents again, this time he picked up a bag of bread and a jar of jam

he's had sandwiches before.. of course they weren't just stuck on smores and cocoa for snacks forever... they had to eat something else too sometimes..

He tried to remember as much as possible how the whole procedure was done before doing it himself.. well it couldn't hurt to try right?

Proudly looking at his two, three layered sandwiches, that had messy jam sticking out of them, he then poured the milk to both bowls of cereal

and though it spilled here and there, it's not that bad for a first right?

after setting it all up, he opened the fridge again and got the juice box before pouring it as evenly as possible into the two glasses. After cleaning up the unecessary things and keeping what needed to be kept, he then smiled to himself..  sure it was messy, especially the sandwiches but hey, first time's a try..

Looking over to their shared bed he could still see Youngjae sleeping.. would it be a good idea to wake him up?

standing up, he made his way to the sleeping teen.. he honestly had no idea what to do next

he tried extending his hand to shake the latter but retrieving it before he even got to the chance touch him

maybe if he'd kiss him awake... would that work?

The thought of having to kiss Youngjae awake only sent red tint to crawl on his face.. it was tempting.. but would it be the best thing to do?

so what if he did?

He leaned in, taking note of how beautiful Youngjae was before slowly aiming at the small plump, pouty red face pillows

He was about to connect their lips together, when Youngjae's eyes suddenly flew open

"What are you doing?"

Youngjae asked with a smile, although he was incredibly very flushed

Daehyun leaned away to sit straight almost immediately, this lead Youngjae to become a little bit too disappointed

"I-I ugh... was going to wake you up with a kiss.. but.. you're already awake now... so.. I guess I don't need to anymore.."

Daehyun nervously looked everywhere but Youngjae

Deep down inside Youngjae wished he hadn't opened his eyes too early... and maybe then, Daehyun would have really succeeded on waking him up with a chaste kiss.. That would be so romantic..  it's just too bad he missed his chance

"Ok so umm.." Daehyun cleared his throat
"I made us breakfast.."

"Woah! Jinjja?!"

"Yes.."

"Ommo! I'm so proud of you Daehyunnie! You've become such a big boy now.."

"Hey~ I'm older than you~!" Daehyun huffed

"Oh right! I somehow forgot! " Youngjae laughed and was about to stand and get off the bed, when Daehyun stopped him

"Wait!"

"Huh?"

"Allow me.." Daehyun swiftly made his way to Youngjae's side before scooping him up and carrying him bridal style

"Wait- Daehyun, you don't need to-" Youngjae yelled in reflex

"Shhhhhh...I know I don't need to...but I'm doing this because I want to.." Daehyun said in a husky voice that came out more of a whisper..
It was enough to silence Youngjae as he gulped.. that was y..

Daehyun carried him all the way to the kitchen before he gently placed him down to sit

"You made all of this?"

"Yup!" He happily replied

"Woah.. I'm impressed... you did such a good job for a first time.."
Though it was simple, Youngjae was definitely proud... Daehyun was learning new things everyday... and that made him feel very happy. He was about to take the spoon and start digging in but a hand quickly halted his actions..

"I'll feed you.."

"Mwoh? Why?"

"Like I said.. because I want to... early after you met me... you fed me that first meal we had together, back at the train... Now, I want to feed you, the first meal that I made myself.. let me baby you..." 
Daehyun explained..
Youngjae didn't know why Daehyun was doing these things all of the sudden, but he is liking this whole romantic breakfast treatment so far

"Open wide, Jae..." Daehyun asked as he dumped a spoofull of cereal into Youngjae's mouth

Youngjae smiled warmly as he began chewing... suddenly he got this feeling or thought of some sort... he felt like they were a happily married couple without any troubles at all..
will he ever get married though? It has been his dream to have a family of his own.. to have a lovely kind hearted wife and 2 beautiful children... but now that he's met Daehyun, it seems as though all of that would have to change... 
As long as Daehyun loved him and he loved Daehyun, then he didn't care about marraige or any of that at all.. if Daehyun's there, then, that's enough to get him at content

"How is it?"

"Hmmn?...The cereal? well.. it's cereal.."

"Yeah, but how is it? does it taste great? did I put too much milk in it? or perhaps too little?"

Youngjae chuckled out of confusion.. Why was Daehyun asking if the cereal would taste any different? Well whatever the reason, he knew he needed to play along, rather than to question it

"Oh, well.. It tastes awesome! You did a good job preparing it!"

"Really? I'm relieved then.."

Daehyun carefully placed the the spoon back at the bowl, making sure it did no such thing such as splash, before picking up one of the three layered sandwiches and brought them up to Youngjae's lips

"Here, try the sandwich"

Youngjae gladly opened his mouth to let Daehyun push the sandwich further, before chewing it, blushing when Daehyun's fingers touched his lips accidentally

"How is it?"

"Well it tastes like bread and jam... But it's even better because you made it "

and that was enough to make Daehyun's heart flutter

They continued eating breakfast, with Daehyun lost in his own world. He was spacing out, while eating.. just staring into nothing as he chewed his food.. the last few words that Youngjae had said to him took a huge toll on him..it made him feel better about himself... that he could make things that are normal, better... well...just for Youngjae at least... but hey, Youngjae's opinion is the only opinion that matters to him. That ever will matter.

after eating, they quietly made their way to the living room, or, you could say, couch since, the cube is practically just one big room, apart from the bathroom that's the only small part of the room that had real corners or walls and a door to go with it..

"What are we gonna do today, Daehyun?" Youngjae asked as he snuggled againts the latter who happily wrapped his arms around him

"Hmmnn..I don't quite know..." Daehyun answered, closing hid eyes and inhaling the younger's scent, taking in as much warmth as possible

Youngjae knew he still craved for that morning kissed that he had so badly missed as he soiled his chance by waking up.. He had wished to at least not have opened his eyes at that very moment... it was going to be perfect, but he ruined it.. He really wanted to try something as chaste yet romantic as that.. well he guesses somethings are just meant to be done in another time..but..

He knew Daehyun wouldn't really mind if he just kissed him right then and there, to fill his content and longing.. but he also knew not to take advantage of Daehyun's feelings.. though he felt the same, he knew much more, much much more... he knew things Daehyun didn't, specifically what people do in relationships as such.. but he didn't want to use Daehyun's obliviousness for his own sake.

Love doesn't need to be taught, it comes naturally.. it's part of the human nature.. he's well aware of that.. he just wants to be careful with Daehyun.

Daehyun was as fragile as he was.. and he certainly did not want to do anything irrational that might end up breaking both of them... well at least not now.. not now, that they aren't ready... yet...

"Youngjae-ah?" Daehyun interrupted his mental ranting with a soft voice

"neh?"

"When I woke up... I saw the field we were talking about last night..."

"Yeah? Go on..."

"It turned out that it wasn't all a field... it was some sort of a frozen body of water..."

"a lake perhaps?"
Youngjae jerked his head curiously

"Yes.. that might be it.. anyway... do you wanna go check it out?"
Youngjae wondered of to his thoughts for a bit

"Well do you want to?"

Daehyun furrowed his brows for awhile before...thinking.. of course, he's heard from those things before.. the tutor; the one who taught him a few little things told him about the kinds of things or more likely, places, body  of lands and water.. which is kinda ironic if you come to think about it.. They taught him forms of places and things about the nature found here in noxeverox151.. but they never thought about how he was never given a chance to leave and see the whole thing for real, at that time... sure, it's useful now.. but what if he never got to see these things? what if he never got to go with Youngjae? what will he do with the knowledge? It's either they just wanted to pretend to teach him something useful and  get a good pay for their useless job or to purposely make him feel sad, thinking that he could never take upon those learnings and see them for real then...it's not like they were expecting him to leave that prison and go see those things with his own eyes... they practically strapped him to a chair, afraid he's leave the room.. so what good was their expectations from the knowledge he's learned then?

well at lesat now he can actually benfit from it...

"I think that would be nice... since I've never seen one in real life before.. I've only been taught by the tutor... I've never seen one up close.."

"Well let's get to it then..."

Before Youngjae could even make a move to get up, Daehyun interrupted his actions with a hand

"I'll carry you!!"

without even giving him time to protest, Daehyun already had his hands on the latter, before carrying him up bridal style.. again

"Hey what's with you pampering me today?" Youngjae raised a brow

" Well.. just because I want to... do you want me to stop? I can do that too..."

"N-No... it's okay.." well it was the truth anyway... 
he really likes the special treatment Daehyun's recently given him

"Leggo!!"

_________________________________________

They looked around the area

it seems as though, Daehyun's observations were correct

but he left out the details of the forest ahead the lake...

After stepping on to a reliable area, they decided to go look for something that might catch their attention

looks like they were right

the tree by the area in which they placed the cube, miraculously had some kind of fruit growing from it... it was quiet odd actually..

Youngjae knew these things existed here in Noxeverox151.. it was practically normal to see a tree bearing healthy and plump looking fruits in the middle of winter

They stared at the fruit for awhile

"What do you think it is?"

"It's a kind of fruit, Daehyun... I'm not quite familiar with the name though..." it actually looked quite appetizing... with it's red violet looking outer crust, it's bound to be chewy and juicy on the inside...

slowly and gently, Daehyun cupped the fruit, seeing as Youngjae was so interested in it, he seems to be eating it with his eyes.. he applied small force, and in a matter of seconds, it came off..

"Here... Have a bite" Daehyun insisted, as Youngjae gladly took the offer

It was absolutely 10 times more delicious as to what he expected.. but he didn't want to show a weird looking reaction, so he just kept his excitement in

"How is it?" Remembering the previous time he had pulled a similar joke to the elder, he nearly died laughing after seeing the other's reaction... so how about try it again?

He fake cough 
"Oh no.. D-Daehyun... I think these are poisonous!!" He faked cough a bit more to make it seem for convincing

at the sound of the younger's comment, Daehyun's eyes widened in horror as he roughly grabbed the fruit from Youngjae's grasp in panic

before whaling and debating what to do with it, before throwing it on the frozen lake

Youngjae was laughing until he saw the fruit flying

"Hey- I was just joking! You shouldn't have thrown it a way!" 
He yelped sadly..

seeing this, Daehyun immediately ran, attempting to get the fruit back

"Daehyun don- " unfortunately, he couldn't stop him on time...

"Don't worry, Youngjae! I'll get it!!" Daehyun alarmed, running of to the fragile thin frozen layer

"Daehyun leave it!! Get out of there right now!!"

He desperately yelled back, afraid if the elder might make the wrong move, that could send him down to a negative hundred degrees temperature underwater

"Daehyun come back! quick"

Daehyun payed no heed as he grabbed the fruit, and held it tightly

"I told you I'd get i-" the moment he took a step back to Youngjae's direction, the ice suddenly began to crack

"No..No.." Youngjae muttered, panicked

"Y-Youngjae?"

"S-Stay right there, Daehyun! D-Don't move!!"

When he attempted to step forward a little more, the ice cracked even more

"Y-Youngjae.. I'm scared.." he was trembling..palpitating.. sweating... he was scared...

"Keep your eyes trailed on me, okay, Daehyun? Don't move, Don't look down, just look at me..." He said as he tried to calm his own nerves.. grabbing a stick, he held it out for Daehyun to reach, thanking whoever, that they were only a few meters away from eachother

"Okay... I want you to grab the stick..do you think you can do that, buddy? " he asked with a tone nearing to breaking down

"I-I'll try..."

Daehyun desperately attempted to grab a hold of the rather short stick, bending over to stretch a little bit, in hopes to get out of the place.

Sadly... he had lost track of balance and ended up falling to the ground.. which of course lead the thin layer of frozen water to crack, and eventually break all together... Daehyun tried to float as much as he can in the ice cold water.. but how could he? he didn't know how to swim..

"DAEHYUN!!!!" Youngjae cried desperately.. he didn't have any time left to decide..but was there even something to decide on?

the moment he could no loger see the boy, he had dived his way into the ice cold water too

He grabbed Daehyun's floating body as quick as he can possibly manage, when his body was already weakening from the extreme coldness as he brought both of them up to land..

he layed Daehyun flat on the ground... the boy was unconscious.. Youngjae's vision began to become blurry, but he insisted on seeing if Daehyun was alright...

he hovered his ear over Daehyun's mouth, and once the felt a brush of hot breath againts his skin, he then layed there helplessly with Daehyun by his side.. his senses slowly turning dull..

"Y-You're still breathing.. that's good.." he weakly added, clearly reffering to the unconscious boy laying beside him

though his hearing wasn't that good anymore, he clearly heard footsteps heading their way.. he just hoped they weren't from anyone from the company...

The last thing he saw was a pair of shoes approaching them, before he completely out...
