Mint Ice Cream
​

The sun is shining brightly on the light blue sky.
Wooyoung is sitting on the sofa in the living room reading a biography about Gordon Ramsey, while wearing a grey hoodie and black sweatpants.
Then suddenly he hears the sound of his smartphone vibrating on the table next to the sofa.
He puts the book away, and picks up his phone.

He sees a text message from San:
San: Hi honey <3 How are you?
His cheeks turn pink.
He responds:
Wooyoung: I'm doing fine.
He looks at the screen waiting for his boyfriend to respond.
His heart beats fast.
Then he finally responds.
San: I'm glad to hear that.
San: I was wondering if you would like to go to the ice cream shop with me?
A huge smile appears on his face.
He can't wait to see San's lovely face again.
Then he writes back:
Wooyoung: Yes, I would love to.
San: Then let's meet at at 4PM.
He looks at the the time on the phone.
3:14 PM.
Wooyoung: Okay then. I can't wait to see you. <3
San: I can't wait to see you too. <3<3
Then he puts his phone away.
He looks at the grey hoodie and jogging pants, and wonders if he should wear something else.
He gets up from the sofa and walks to his bedroom to change his clothes.


4:04 PM.
Wooyoung is standing outside the ice cream shop, wearing sky blue jeans and a dark green T-shirt underneath a brown leather jacket.
His heart beats fast while thinking about San's smile the last time both of them met.
Then he notices someone walking towards him.
That person is wearing a grey hoodie, dark blue jeans and a black beanie.
It's San.
Suddenly he regrets not wearing that hoodie, because then their outfits would have matched.
"Hey Wooyoung." San says and waves.
Wooyoung smiles at him. "Hi."
San smiles back and Wooyoung starts feeling butterflies flying inside his stomach.
San looks at his green shirt. "Your outfit looks nice today."
Wooyoung's cheeks turn into the colour of strawberry ice cream.
"Thanks." he responds, looking at the grey hoodie in regret, but forces a smile. "Yours looks nice too."
"Should we go get some ice cream?" San asks.
"Yes" he nods. "My stomach has been rumbling"


Inside the ice cream shop, both of them are standing at the counter.
"I would like to order two scoops of mint chocolate." San says.
That's what he usually orders.
He looks at Wooyoung's face and asks: "And what about you?"
"One scoop of mint chocolate and another one with chocolate."
Wooyoung puts his hand inside his pocket, wanting to take out his wallet.
"No, it's my treat." San says, making Wooyoung blush.


They are now standing outside the shop, holding their paper cups of ice cream.
San scoops his ice cream with a tiny plastic spoon and gets a taste of it.
The mint chocolate lover closes his eyes and a huge smile appears on his face as he is enjoying it.
Wooyoung giggles.
"What's so funny?" San asks.
"You seem to love it."
"Of course, I do." he says. "And I don't understand why Hongjoong and Seonghwa say it tastes like tooth paste."
"Me neither." he tastes the chocolate one.
"I guess there is something wrong with their tongues." he says and gets another taste of it.
He smiles again, enjoying the minty flavour.
Wooyoung starts smiling too and swiftly gives San a peck on his cheek.
San gets surprised and starts blushing.
"Sorry, San." Wooyoung says, starting to blush too. "I just think you look adorable."
"I think you look adorable too." San says with a smile. "And sweet."
"Oh, don't say that." Wooyoung's entire face turns strawberry pink.
"But I really think you're sweet." he says. "Like mint chocolate ice cream."
"How poetic." Wooyoung giggles.
His giggle is so contagious that San starts giggling too.
"And your face is lovely, San." Wooyoung says.
San looks at him surprised. "You really think so?"
"Yes, I love looking at your face." he says. "It makes me smile and my heart beat faster."
"I want to kiss you." San says.
Wooyoung's heart beats faster. "Wha... what did you say?"
"I want to kiss you." San says, looking into his eyes and the mole under his left eye for a while.
Wooyoung stares at San's lips, wanting to kiss them too.
Then San looks at the ice cream. "But after I have finished eating all the ice cream." he says.
"You silly..." Wooyoung says, feeling annoyed.
"Okay, I'll finish my ice cream as soon as I can and then we'll kiss." San says.
Wooyoung is still feeling annoyed and eats his ice cream, that has slightly melted.


San finishes eating his mint chocolate ice cream, and puts it in a trash can nearby.
Wooyoung has also finished eating his ice cream.
"Now." San says. "Shall we kiss?"
He nods.
San places both of his hands on Wooyoung's pink cheeks.
The guy with the pink cheeks closes his eyes, waiting for the kiss to happen.
Then San's lips start touching Wooyoung's, and he closes his eyes.
Wooyoung tastes a strong minty flavour on his lips, and places his hands on his waist, enjoying that flavour that his boyfriend loves.
Then San's lips let go of Wooyoung's and he opens his eyes again.
He removes his hands of his pink cheeks, that have turned more pink.
Wooyoung's eyes start opening too.
"There is something that I love more than mint chocolate ice cream." San says.
"What is it?"
"It's you, honey." San says and smiles.
