“Turn left. You will reach your destination in 500 meters.”

“Oh okay. Okay, I can do this. I met him before, he likes me. This is a good preparation for tomorrow. I can do this, your inner daddy automatically comes out when you talk to him. Deep breaths.” And he did exactly that, while running a hand through his hair before clutching onto the steering wheel. He tried singing along to the music coming from the speakers, trying to calm himself down which seemed to work even if just a little bit.

All calmness flew out the window again, when the navigation told him he arrived at his destination. Taking a calming breath he quickly texted Sehun a short ‘Am here :)♥’ and got out of the car to wait.

After a while of just waiting and calming himself (just to start panicking again a second later), he heard the main door opening and when he looked up his breath was knocked out of him.

Even with constantly looking at Sehun’s pictures or watching his videos, even after seeing him in person three weeks ago, he could not believe the beauty that was Oh Sehun. The way he shyly looked up from his feet, eyelashes fluttering and a small smile adoring his face, when he met Jongin’s eyes, would be enough to get every man going crazy. And he was directing it at Jongin. How ing lucky can I get…

“Hi Jongin, is it?” Jongin had been so distracted by how gorgeous and cute Sehun was, that he didn’t even notice the shorter male walking next to him, who he assumed was Kyungsoo.

“Yes, hello Kyungsoo, nice to meet you.” He greeted bowing deeply, seeing as according to Sehun Kyungsoo was 25 years old, hence a year older than himself.

“Nice to meet you, too. I want Sehun back here by 1 am, that would give you guys two hours for eating and talking and such. I better do not find any traces of any making out or something similar, or I will murde-”

“Soo hyung!” Sehun whined and shook Kyungsoo’s arm, making Jongin coo and chuckle at the cuteness displayed by the youngest of the three.

“What? Sehunnie, this is your first real meeting, there won’t be any funny business, do you both understand? And I obviously don’t need to repeat myself on Sehun getting hurt or you doing anything to upset him, do I?” Jongin found it weird how even though the eldest of them was the shortest, he was one of the most intimidating people he had ever encountered. Thank god he only had good intentions and would voluntarily get himself beat up if he ever hurt Sehun.

“Got it, don’t worry. If I ever hurt Sehun, you have my permission to kick my .”

“Glad we got that cleared out. Now I will leave you two alone, Sehun if anything, literally anything makes you even slightly uncomfortable, call me. I will be there as quickly as humanly possible, okay?” Kyungsoo asked turned towards Sehun and giving him an intense look, which Sehun responded to with an eyeroll and a dragged out ‘Yeees’. The shorter man nodded at Jongin once more and hugged Sehun tightly before bidding goodbye to the both of them. Jongin finally turned his full attention back to Sehun.

“Hey Hunnie.” He said, making sure his voice was as smooth as silk before leaning in and planting a chaste kiss on Sehun’s cheek. He was about to regret it, if Kyungsoo was still in sight he might get killed right now, but the blush blossoming on Sehun’s cheek instantly shut that down.

“Hi Nini, hope I didn’t cause you any inconvenience…” His phone did not do Sehun’s sweet, soft voice any justice, Jongin realised as he gazed awestruck at the other.

“Jongin?” Sehun called is name softly, with a confused frown on his face and got Jongin out of his daze.

“Sorry, Hunnie. I apparently forgot just how perfect and gorgeous you are.” Jongin expressed his thoughts, making Sehun flush and hide his face in his hands. Jongin chuckled, embracing the now black-haired male.

“You colored your hair already?” He asked running his fingers through the newly dyed hair, only receiving a shy nod in response.

“Should we get going? You told me you’re really craving some KFC.” Once again Sehun nodded against his chest, this time followed with a quiet ‘yes’ and Jongin reluctantly let go to open the car door for Sehun, granting him a huge smile and ‘thank you’, before walking over to the drivers side and getting in.

He smiled at Sehun while starting the engine and turning the music up a little, so they could hear at least a little.

“Oh my god! I love this song, I know it’s old but it’s sooo good!” Sehun exclaimed next to him and started moving his hands according to the choreo to ‘Warrior’ by B.A.P and Jongin felt his chest fill with warmness.

“God, why did it take so long for me to start watching your videos?” He muttered, starting to sing along loudly together with Sehun as he was driving them to the closest KFC and it just felt right. Jongin had never felt this kind of affection for someone this fast and it kind of scared him. He was hoping Sehun felt the same way, but the likeliness of that was slim to none. These things didn’t happen a lot, but Jongin would make sure to win the fair skinned boy over. His train of thoughts was interrupted by a loud growling sound coming from Sehun’s tummy, making Jongin laugh loudly and Sehun look out of the window embarrassedly.

“Guess someone really needs that chicken, huh?” Jongin remarked chuckling, causing the boy next to him to hide his face in his hands and muttering a meek ‘shut up’.

“Don’t worry, it’s just around the corner.” He said taking a left and driving into the Kentucky Fried Chicken Drive-In. After deciding on what to eat Jongin ordered for both of them and drove to the window to pay (he had to put up a little fight to prevent Sehun from pulling out his wallet) and got their food, before driving up to a hill close-by, that had a great view of the city. Jongin had never been more glad that he saved up and bought a second-hand Hyundai jeep as he was while he parked his car backwards and opened the hood of the car to sit comfortably in the trunk with Sehun next to him.

“So what’s it like being photo shooted?” Jongin asked while he took their food out of the paper bags.

“Still kinda weird, I mean I’ve done it like a hundred times before but I never got as comfortable doing it as I thought. I don’t know, it’s kinda weird standing or sitting in front of a dozen of people who are all looking at you and trying to look as y or cute as possible.” Sehun explained his thoughts while taking some fries and starting to eat them one by one, making it hard for Jongin to take the focus off of his lips.

“Oh yeah, that does sound weird. Are you usually comfortable in front of the camere, like when you are shooting videos or just taking selfies?”

“Depends, to be honest. I do always try to find good lightening so my skin looks fairer and I try to prevent showing my RBF.”

“RBF?”

“Resting Face.” Sehun explained chuckling and Jongin frowned at that.

“You do not have a resting face. You look absolutely adorable and gorgeous no matter what you do with your face.” Jongin said, watching closely as Sehun’s hands that were bringing fries to his mouth stopped mid-air, before he tilted his head down.

“Stooop, you are making me blush so much. How do you do that?” He whined and Jongin couldn’t help but let out a small laugh at the cuteness that was Oh Sehun.

“To be honest, I’m usually not this smooth and.. suave. It just comes out naturally when we’re talking. I just speak my thoughts.”

Sehun looked up at him, face still flushed and starry eyed, as if Jongin said something that wasn’t already painfully obvious. They both held the gaze for a moment, Jongin felt like he could stare at Sehun like this forever, but the moment stopped when Sehun cleared his throat and looked back at the view.

“So, what are you usually like then?” He asked putting another set of fries in his mouth.

“A little more dorky, I’m really into conspiracy theories and Harry Potter, Lord of the Rings, Game of Thrones…By the way, why aren’t you eating your chicken? Are you shy to eat in front of your crush?” Jongin asked genuinely worried when he noticed that he was halfway through his portion of chicken and Sehun was only almost done eating his fries, but relaxed when Sehun quickly shook his head.

“No, no, no, that’s not it, don’t worry. It’s just this tick I have, I always eat the fries first, but never all of them. Basically I eat 80% of my fries, then eat my chicken or burger and then I eat the rest of the fries… I know it’s kinda weird.” He explained giggling shyly and Jongin couldn’t help but find Sehun’s little eating quirk extremely endearing, so he hmmed with a fond smile.

“And also, you have to be kidding me about your interests.” Sehun said and Jongin froze, thinking that he finally did it. He knew he would somehow scare the boy with his weirdness, but he hoped that it would be way later when Sehun already liked him enough to look past it. Damn it, now he’s going to reject me big time...

“It can’t be, that we both are this interested in the same shows and movies! I love everything you just mentioned and I can’t believe we have to wait two years for the new season of Game of Thrones. What were they thinking?” Sehun ranted and Jongin just stared at him, scolding himself in his head for ever doubting his crush.

“What? Am I too nerdy? Sorry I just get really into tv-shows or movies…” Sehun mumbled, starting to eat his chicken.

“No, I’m just shocked that we are so similar. To be completely honest with you, I used to not like your channel that much…” If Jongin was being honest about his dorkiness, he might as well put all the cards on the table. He watched Sehun closely, seeing the other nodding understandably.

“I kinda figured when you told me you started watching me because of the conspiracy theory video, because that was the first time I did something like that.That’s also what I meant when I said you don’t seem like my usual audience, I mean just look wise you do but personality wise, not so much. Are you subscribed to Conspiracy&U TV?” Sehun asked, before slowly putting his lips around the straw of his ice tea and Jongin was asking himself if Sehun was torturing him on purpose.

“Oh, about that. I actually am Conspiracy&U TV, that’s actually why I came to the Meet and Greet in the first place. I wanted to thank you for giving me a shoutout and being subscribed to me and then I started watching your videos, because I wanted to know the person who helped me and well...you were different from what I expected and… ” Jongin stopped talking once he realised Sehun had been staring at him with wide eyes for a while now, so he shot him a questioning look.

“You are Conspiracy&U TV?!” Sehun asked rather loudly, reacting like Jongin had just told

him that he could teleport or something.

“Yeah?”

“Oh my god! Jongin, I am such a huge fan of your channel. Why didn’t you tell me before?!” He asked slapping Jongin biceps lightely and flailing his hands around.

“I liked you so much, I wanted you to talk to me as just me, Jongin. Does that make sense?” Sehun looked at him softly before placing his hand gently over Jongin’s. He could feel the grease on both their fingers from the food, but he could not have cared less, as he intertwined their fingers.

“I do, I really do. After we met at my event I wished for the same thing… because even if I didn’t want to it kinda made me insecure about how much you would like the real me… You know not the YouTuber, just me Sehun. Or if you pretended to like me for money or fame, don’t get me wrong you left a huge impression on me and I felt really happy about meeting you, but I made some bad experiences like that…” Sehun told him and Jongin got it, and he realized that he should be cautious with his next question, because it seemed like Sehun didn’t like talking about this.

“You can tell me if you feel like it, I would love to get to know more about you and also your past, but if you don’t feel comfortable to you don’t have to.” He said putting his other hand on top of Sehun’s one, that he was already holding, and caressing it.

“For some weird reason I trust you way more than I should, given the short time we’ve known each other. It’s strange, but I do trust you. Just prepare yourself, this is gonna take awhile okay?” Jongin nodded before bringing the others hand to his lips and giving it a reassuring kiss.

“So you probably don’t know this, but even before my YouTube career I was a kinda well-known ulzzang, so even back in High School I had a bigger following.” I do know that, Jongin wanted to say but settled for a ‘hmm’ to signal that he was listening instead.

“Which kind of made it hard for me to date guys, because someone would ask me out and later on I found out that they were actually straight and had a girlfriend and just wanted to take pictures with me for attention. This is also how I met Soo hyung, he was in his senior year and I just started High School at the same school and his classmate asked me out and I was all giddy and on cloud nine and you know how teenagers act when someone handsome asks them out. Anyway, Soo hyung came up to me and told me how the guy had been shouting around before of how he would get my little ‘-’ to bring him to fame and I kinda started crying, and well… Kyungsoo hyung comforted me and tried his best to make sure things like that don’t happen too often. Unfortunately they still did…” Sehun sighed and Jongin frowned at that, once again realizing how disgusting people could be. He gave Sehun’s hand a soft squeeze to let him know, he was here for him.

“So, I think I was in my third year of High School when we got an exchange student from China, Zitao. He was a year older than me, but because his Korean wasn’t that great he got into my class. He was really handsome and manly and when the teacher asked if someone would volunteer to show him around a little, I raised my hand. I know sounds like some sappy teeny movie, but I was really intrigued by him and not just for his looks… also by the fact that he wouldn’t know who I was and would just get to know me for me. So I showed him around a little and we talked, I got to know him a little better and we had a lot in common, and just like that I had a crush on him. You have to know I never had been in a relationship at that point and something as simple as a handsome guy, who is nice and has things in common with me was enough for me to have heart-eyes.” Sehun giggled and Jongin also couldn’t hold back a chuckle at the thought of a cute teenager Sehun.

“After that we would spend a lot of time together, because I didn’t have a lot of friends in my class and he couldn’t properly speak Korean so the others didn’t even bother with him and I think two months after that first day we were hanging around at my place and he kissed me. At that point I was head over heels for him and so happy that he liked me too, that I of course said yes when he asked me out. We started dating he always behaved like a total gentleman and I had all my first times with him… The first kiss, the first make-out, the first anniversary and well, also the first time. Kyungsoo hyung always told me that he didn’t like Tao and that there was something off about him, how he was always on his phone and took way too many pictures, but I would always tell him that he was just talking nonsense. Anyway, I think it was a year and a half into the relationship and I was getting a lot of modelling jobs for you know just smaller brands and such and Tao started an internship in an music company and we had been living together for a while. I was at a photoshoot for sneakers and I had to jump on a trampoline, but somehow managed to fall and twist my ankle. Soo hyung came to pick me up, because Zitao wasn’t answering his phone and he brought me home. And then when we walked into the apartment…” Sehun choked up and his eyes seemed a lot glossier than they did before. His breath came out staggered and Jongin had a bad feeling of where this was heading, so he let go of Sehun’s hand and embraced him, laying Sehun’s head against his chest and telling him it was okay now and that he didn’t have to finish his story, while his head.

“No it’s okay. I don’t even know why I’m still crying this was like three years ago…Okay Kyungsoo hyung and I walked into the apartment and as you probably guessed by now there he was cheating on me with some guy I had never seen before. I obviously am shocked first, but then started bawling my eyes out and Soo hyung sits me down on a chair, tells the guy Zitao has been screwing to off and gives Zitao a look that was so murderous I would have peed myself if it was directed towards me… He demanded answers and also got kinda violent with him but in the end it turned out, that Zitao knew who I was from the very beginning, that the sole reason he participated in the exchange was that he saw my High School on the list of options and that he wanted to get to me and get fame because ‘he deserved to be seen’ and all the things that I found out we had in common were never true… that he researched them beforehand to make it easier to get me to trust him. That he never loved me or cared about me and that he had been screwing other people the whole time we dated..” Sehun finished his story his eyes still teary and his voice shaking, but Jongin saw that he was fighting not to cry. He cupped the youngers face in his hands and told him it was okay to cry, but was met with a hard shake of Sehun’s head.

“I know it’s okay to cry, but that jerk is not worth even one tiny teardrop. I won’t ever cry over him again.” He said determined and Jongin hugged him close again, kissing the top of his head.

“You are so brave for sharing this with me and I am so proud of you for not wanting to waste your precious tears on him. I suppose this made it even harder for you to trust anyone?” Jongin asked, Sehun’s back gently while running his finger soothingly through the others hair. He felt a weak nod against his chest and held Sehun even tighter if that was possible.

“That’s also why I have this persona I have during storytimes… It’s kind of a form of protecting myself by seeming fierce and strong, so people would think I am not to be messed with... It’s also why I find it so weird that I already trust you so much, but I just feel like we have some kind of connection… Maybe I’m just being delusional…” Sehun’s ramble was cut off when he felt Jongin lift his face and he was met with Jongin’s soft, adoring gaze. They stared at each other for a long moment, before Jongin slowly leaned in. Their faces were so close he could count each of Sehun’s eyelashes, that fluttered as the younger slowly shut his eyes.

And then their lips met and Jongin was in heaven. Sehun’s lips were as soft as he imagined clouds to be and so small and pouty. They fit perfectly under Jongin’s full ones and he could swear their lips were molded just for each other.

Jongin wrapped his hand around Sehun’s waist pulling him flush against his chest, the other one gently cupping the youngers face, as he felt Sehun’s wander from his chest up to his shoulders and around his neck. Jongin’s tongue across Sehun’s bottom lip and the latter immediately opened his mouth willingly.

The first of their tongues against each other sent an electric shock down Jongin’s spine and he felt Sehun let out a tiny gasp at that. He let his tongue roam around the inside of Sehun’s mouth, still tasting the food from earlier, but also tasting something that Jongin could only pinpoint as Sehun.

It was almost impossible to do so, but with a heavy heart Jongin disconnected their lips. He didn’t want the other to feel like this was why Jongin took him out or that his intentions didn’t solely come from how much he adored the younger.

“I feel the same exact way about you, Sehun.” He said in a deep, husky voice and left another small peck on the youngers lips. Sehun flushed, but didn’t try to hide his face this time, instead gifting him with the most beautiful smile Jongin had ever seen. Sehun’s cheeks pink and perky and his eyes forming two cute crescents. The black-haired YouTuber was just about to answer something, when they heard Sehun’s ringtone go off and Jongin groaned loudly. Giggling Sehun looked at his screen, which turned into a worried look once he saw the name.

Soo Hyung

Jongin checked the clock on his phone. 01:05 am.

.

“Soo Hyung?” Sehun asked holding the phone to his ear, probably having answered while Jongin checked his phone. He heard some rather loud talking on the other end, which was followed by apologizing for not being there on time.

“No, Soo Hyung it’s my fault really. Jongin hasn’t so much as said a word in the last half an hour. Yeah, we will be on our way now. NO!” Jongin snapped his head to the boy sitting next to him, when the other just shrieked.

“Yeah… Don’t! Yeah, see you in a bit!” Sehun hung up and shook his head at Jongin’s confused look. He was still curious as to what made the other exclaim so loudly, but he wasn’t gonna press it

“Let’s get going then before your hyung murders me.”

“I had a lot of fun tonight… Even though it was only two hours and way too short…” Sehun said swinging their intertwined
