"Jeno, where are we going? We still have school tomorrow." Jaemin asked in curiosity after finding out they weren't going to their usual route. It was already half past 7:00 when they started to roam around the streets of Seoul. "What about my parents? Your parents? They'll–"

"Chill, Jae. I got this all planned out. They know we're dating." The latter chuckled, looking back at him since he was a few steps behind him. Jeno grabbed his hand, pulling him so that they were at the same pace. It made Jaemin avoid his gaze, trying to calm his heart. 

"Dating as in like the one we're doing now?" Jaemin asked. "Hm, we need some time together, you know. I'm pretty sure Eunseo is stressing you out." Jeno answered making the other male groan, rolling his eyes, "If you only knew."

Jeno laughed at his reaction, ruffling his hair. "You could get through this. I know you can." Can I? The other male thought, having doubts on his capability to actually 'shoo' the obsessed female away from Jeno. But his insecurities faded away when the male securely wrapped his arm around his shoulder, silently walking around the streets of Seoul. 

They got curious glances from many strangers, wondering why they were still at their uniform. Yet, this wasn't Jaemin's main concern. Where is he taking me? He thought, the unanswered question from a while ago still lingered in his mind. "I hope you don't mind eating dinner at a restaurant." His thoughts were cut off when Jeno spoke, making him look at him in a bit of surprise. 

Jaemin looked at the sign above them. Bulgogi Garden? He raised an eyebrow, not familiar with the said store. "It's quite new, that's why it's quite packed. But I already reserved some seats for us." Jeno explained, as if he was answering the boy's curiosities. Jaemin looked at him in surprise. He planned this all along? But too shy to ask, Jaemin just followed the latter like a little boy as they entered the vicinity.

The restaurant was as Jeno described to him. The younger male tried very hard not to bump into people and stayed close with Jeno, looking around in pure alertness, fearing he might trip any time. "Relax, you're worried over nothing." Jeno chuckled, glancing over him. He found it cute how Jaemin was sticking to him like a little kid, the fear in his eyes was actually adorable in Jeno's opinion. There was still enough space around them and they could both easily dodge the people coming their way, but Jaemin seemed too work up to even realize that.

"We're here." Jeno spoke, gently pulling Jaemin to his seat before sitting across him. "Hyung, set A, please." Jaemin watched the latter order their food and seeing him do so without looking at the menu, it really made him think that he planned this all beforehand. Minutes later, they found a waiter in front of their table, cooking the pork for them and several more workers going to their table to set up their table with side dishes and utensils.

"Wah," Jaemin looked at all the food in astonishment. "We're going to eat all this?" He looked at Jeno, the same expression never left his face. Jeno grinned, chuckling at him as he found it cute and innocent. "Yeah, can you finish all this?" He asked, knowing the male wasn't much of a heavy eater at times.

"I'm sure we could finish all these since you're here." He answered, returning the grin. It only made the two laugh and Jeno couldn't help but pinch his nose. "Ah ah– not the nose!" Jaemin whined, scrunching the said part. Jeno only smiled, admiring once more the male in front of him. Every move he made only makes his heart flutter and he couldn't help but think, what if the boy in front of him is actually his? Although it seemed impossible in Jeno's perspective, he wanted to be selfish for at least once. 

He didn't think Jaemin would swerve in just a week and hope for a miracle that suddenly the younger male would suddenly stand in front of him one day and confess his 'love' to him. Hell no. Jeno frowned. It sounded so impossible and he already stressed they were both straight— oh wait, I'm not straight. He took a moment of realization but shrugged the thought off away. Close enough, he already said he's straight. 

Once the food was cooked and placed on a separate plate, the two males started to dig in. "Thank you for the food!" They chimed.

The atmosphere was comfortable despite of them not saying a word. But their peaceful dinner was ruined when...

"Oh my gosh, Jeno!"

Jaemin immediately let out an irritated and loud groan. He knew who it was, he didn't have to look. It would only get him more irritated. Jeno looked at him in worried, knowing the hate he has towards the girl was only growing. He wasn't even sure how he would act at this sudden situation.

"Hello, Eunseo." Jeno answered in a lifeless manner. "Mom, dad, this is Jeno." Eunseo introduced suddenly, catching the two males off guard. "Oh! You're the boy Eunseo has been telling us about." Her mother beamed happily upon the sight of the said male. He could only give an awkward smile in return, bowing his head slightly in acknowledgement.

"And who's this?" She asked, acknowledging Jaemin's presence. Doing the same manner as Jeno's, Jaemin awkwardly bowed his head, ignoring the fact Eunseo rolled his eyes at him. He swore he did everything he can not to roll his eyes in return. "I'm Jaemin."

"He's my boyfriend." Jeno proudly exclaimed, surprising the latter. "Hey, you–" Jaemin was cut off when Jeno flashed him a bright smile.  A bright yet knowing smile Jaemin knew too well. He got the message immediately.

Just go with the flow.

But Jaemin felt a rather strong and negative vibe near them. His eyes wandered around to find the source, only to lock eyes with none other than Eunseo's father. He swore he felt his body shivered, not liking the older male's stare at him. It felt very nuch uninviting and he didn't like how he was judgingly staring at him.

At the back of his mind, he wondered... was he against gays? The thought made Jaemin frown, but he knew
