“Am I looking nice enough?” Donghae tilted his head while his eyes fixed on the mirror. Behind him, Ryeowook was laughing while combing his own hair which Donghae was envy so much because Ryeowook’s hair looks so fluffy and softer than his –in his opinion. “I’m serious, Wookie. Am I looking nice enough?”

Ryeowook smacked his shoulder playfully. “Of course, you are. This reminds me with when I had my first date with Jongwoon hyung and asked for your help.” He walked closer to Donghae so they stood side by side. “You were teasing me a lot that day but now… you know how it feels right?”

Donghae sighed but giving a nods. Yeah, he was teasing Ryeowook that day –about a year ago, if he is not mistaken– when Ryeowook kept asking him about his appearance even kept bombarding him with the same question, Am I looking nice? Not weird, right? But now, as he finally experience the same situation, he understands it. The feeling when you want the best to your beloved person to see and in the same time it makes you dizzy because you’re afraid of many things.

“You’re really looking nice, Donghae.” Ryeowook fixed his coat a bit.

It’s been an hour since Ryeowook came and helped him to choose what outfit is the best to wear on their first double date. Yeah, Donghae was too confused to choose it by himself so he decided to ask for Ryeowook’s help. Luckily, Donghae was alone because his parents have to go to their friend’s wedding and his brother was hangout with his friends.

Not so long after that, they heard the bell rang. Both of them quickly ran to the first floor and opened the door. It looked funny and sweet at the same time when they saw Jongwoon and Hyukjae standing side by side with a smile. Like… they’re going to pick up their princess. It’s okay tho because Ryeowook and Donghae willingly to say they’re handsome like a prince and didn’t care if people called them princess.

“Well… what a nice view.” Ryeowook laughed a bit and they went out from Donghae’s house after made sure there’s nothing left and all locked. “Have you guys introduced yourself to each other?” He asked.

“Not yet.” Jongwoon said and looked at Hyukjae, “Hi. I’m Jongwoon, Ryeowook’s boyfriend. I’m older than all of you but we can match and try to mingle.” And they all laughed because of it.

“I’m Hyukjae. Nice to meet you, hyung.”

They decided to just use one car and since Jongwoon’s car is a bit bigger than Hyukjae’s, they used his. They didn’t have any special event for double date, just having dinner in a cozy café and after that they will go to a department store since Ryeowook was looking for a pair of new shoes (for him to wear it when his cousin got married next week).

Donghae had to say he was very happy that Hyukjae could interact really well with Jongwoon and Ryeowook eventhough he sometimes looked a bit awkward and confused. But Donghae could see how Hyukjae tried his best.

“I think we should go on a trip together. What is the best place in your opinion, Hyukjae?” Jongwoon asked.

“I don’t have any specific place. But beach is great too.”

Donghae smiled while helping Ryeowook to take his backpack, since he was tying his shoelaces.

“Oh yeah, we can take great pictures overthere,” Ryeowook beamed and standing up.

They stopped at a café to have some snacks like ice-cream and a few slices of cake. Jongwoon kept wiping Ryeowook’s corner lip and Donghae couldn’t help but chuckled because he knew Ryeowook is a messy eater meanwhile Hyukjae stared at his boyfriend with adoring look.

Jongwoon sent the new couple to Donghae’s house and left with his boyfriend after that. Leaving Hyukjae and Donghae standing outside of the latter house. It was 9 PM and his parents were still outside and Donghwa must be slept over in his friend’s house since he was still not at home.

“Wanna stay at my home tonight?” Donghae offered and never expected Hyukjae would say, “Yeah, if you don’t mind.”

“R-really?!”

Oh, stupid me! What kind of reaction is that? You’re the one who asked him, Donghae!

He could feel his own face getting reddened each seconds, not that he was imagined something ert it’s just… excited? Well, Donghae couldn’t find any suitable words. Of course he was happy but in the same time he also nervous. He tried to remember if he had cleaned his room or not just now and it made him frustrated.

Eventually, they entered Donghae’s room and the owner sighed when he saw his room was quite clean.

“Where is your parents, Hae? I think I have to ask their permission.” Hyukjae pulled his coat and placed it on Donghae’s desk meanwhile his boyfriend was facing the cupboard, trying to find the pyjama that he thought would suit Hyukjae’s body.

“They will be home in an hour. It’s okay, they said you can stay here. My parents will be very happy.”

And he picked the plain grey pyjama for Hyukjae and plain blue pyjama for himself.

“Err… Hyukjae… please don’t get me wrong, okay?” Hyukjae frowned but then he nodded, let his boyfriend to ask what he wanted to ask. “Where do you want to sleep? In my room or the guest room?” He chuckled when Donghae’s cheeks reddened.

Cutie.

“In your room. Are you not comfortable if someone sleeps next to you?”

“No,” Donghae giggled in a very awkward way. He didn’t feel uncomfortable or regret what he had done to invite Hyukjae to sleep in his house. No, he was happy. Afterall, they didn’t meet for approximately a week and now that they finally met, Donghae has to say he really missed his boyfriend and their date which was about three hours were not enough to kill all that feeling.

Despite the video calls they did during that week, meet the person face-to-face is way more exciting, right?

But he couldn’t imagine what would happened if Hyukjae sleeps next to him this night. No, he won’t do anything ert and vice versa. It’s just… “I will always hug the person or the things next to me. I-I know that is weird. Yeah, t-that’s w—“

“I am happy to know it.”

“H-huh?”

Hyukjae smiled widely and embracing Donghae with his arms. “It means we can cuddle all night long and you’re cute, Hae.” He gave a peck on Donghae’s nose. “I’m more than ready to hug you all this night.”

And they did it that night.

Hyukjae really meant his words. They cuddled. With Donghae leaned on his chest and Hyukjae placing his head on top of Donghae’s head. Sometimes Hyukjae would giving a kiss or simply exhaled the scent of Donghae’s hair. He likes it because it made him calm.

When the time pointed it was 11 P.M, Donghae’s parents just reached home. Mr Lee kept laughing when his wife talked about the funny moment in the party they just attended. Both of them kept talking until they entered the house and stunned for a while when they saw a pair of shoes that never seen before.

Three seconds after that, Mrs Lee said in excited tone, “Hyukjae must be stay this night. Let’s check on them.” And after both of them took off their shoes, Mrs Lee dragged his husband to their son’s room.

Both of them immediately smiled when they saw their son and his boyfriend hugged each other. With a smile plestered on their faces. Happiness radiated in that room and it was so nice to see them like that.

And of course, Donghae smiled widely especially after he heard the reason why Hyukjae liked him and since when the guy has feeling for him before they slept. It was absolutely good.

When the next morning came, Hyukjae enjoying himself looking at Donghae’s sleeping face. He smiled and gave some kisses to his boyfriend’s cheek, waiting patiently for the guy waking up. He grabbed his phone which was still in his pocket and received messages from his sister and his mom.

From : Sora

I got it that you stayed at Donghae’s house. But please, behave, okay? At least, if you want to do it you have to use some protection. And hey, I would love to know him more, so please bring him home and introduce us to him.

He rolled his eyes. Damn, his sister was indeed had wild imagination of both of them but Hyukjae didn’t complain at all since it was their habit to joke like that –they like to tease each other but he smiled when he saw how sincere his sister was. He chose not to reply and read the message from his mom.

From : Mom

I want to see my son-in-law too so please bring him home as fast as possible, you brat! I can’t imagine how cute he is if I don’t see him directly!

And now, he chuckled.

Well, he had told his family –the whole Lee family, not only his mom, his dad, and his sister– that he has boyfriend. Of course, they were shocked since they never thought Hyukjae would like a guy but there was no offense. His aunties, uncles, and some of his cousins were just smiling with shock still clearly painted on their faces meanwhile his mom, father, and sister were cheering because they were happy. And his grandmother and grandfather even hugged him and wish him the best. They were supportive afterall.

Last night when he told Donghae that all his family have known their relationship, the guy gasped and widened his eyes. But Hyukjae quickly soothing him and said there were no need to fear because they got his family blessings. Both of them couldn’t help but hugging each other and kept cuddling until the morning comes.

“Eung,”

Hyukjae immediately turned his gaze to the creature beside him. A smile appeared as quick as he saw his boyfriend rubbed his eyes and leaned even more to his chest. Both of them stared at each other and Hyukjae felt the need of kissed Donghae’s lips and on his bottom lip for a while. When they let go, Donghae’s face flushed and made Hyukjae laughed due of it.

“Wow,” Hyukjae whispered, his hand started to caressing Donghae’s cheek. “How come you look beautiful eventhough you just woke up?”

Donghae smacked his chest lightly and scrunched his nose. “You said as if you’re not handsome.”

Before Hyukjae can reply, suddenly Donghae’s room opened and a beautiful woman came in with a big smile. Mrs Lee was wearing her red polo t-shirt with a blue sporty pants and Donghae didn’t need any explanation about what she was going to do.

Mrs Lee waved to both of them excitingly while saying, “Good morning, Sons! I have prepared sandwiches for both of you. But Hyukjae,” She turned to his son’s boyfriend. “if you don’t mind, please dragged Donghae to jogging with us. This kid is seriously doesn’t like sport. But I think you’ll be a great motivator for him.” And she winked afterwards when Hyukjae nodded and gave a thumb up, making his son whined.

“Ugh, no. I don’t like it.” Donghae kept whining when his mom has gone to prepare another thing. “Hyukjae~”

“Nah, you have to do it. Sport is good for your health, Hae.” Hyukjae sat and started to his pyjama, ignoring the pout from his boyfriend. “I will take the shower first.”

Donghae felt so lucky when Hyukjae didn’t see his expression. No, he couldn’t imagine what the other would say if he saw his expression. Hyukjae’s body was perfect –eventhough his boyfriend didn’t slide-off his shirt completely but Donghae could perfectly saw his six packs and his toned chest.

And when he could hear his bathroom door being locked, Donghae quickly grabbed his phone and texted Ryeowook while he hid his face under the blanket and unconciously biting his bolster.

Wookie, did you know what I see this morning? OMG, Hyukjae’s chest and six packs>____< OMG OMG OMG>,,,,,< Now I knew why you were so hysteric when you saw Jongwoon’s hyung body for the first time><

He even squealed after that without knowing that somewhere, Ryeowook has sent a screenshot of his message to Hyukjae and making the guy laughed silently in the bathroom.

“Why are you so cute, Hae?” He whispered before continued his shower.

“Hyuk, I’m tired.” Donghae pouted after three rounds of running around the park nearby. He bent down with his hands touching his knees and panted so hard with sweats trickle down to his face. He didn’t know how Hyukjae can still seems so relax and not even run out of breath like him.

“Rest for ten minutes?” Hyukjae offered.

Donghae’s eyes glinted with happiness. “Rest and eating ice-cream?”

“Oh no,” Hyukjae said with his firm voice. “Rest and drinking juice. Healthy life, Hae.” And he laughed loudly when Donghae whined again. “Let’s sit overthere.” He pointed to the bench under the tree which looked so shady.

Donghae leaned his head on Hyukjae’s shoulder and ignoring people gazed on them. Hyukjae his back and both of them sitting in silence but it was so peaceful for them.
