"Junmyeon? What are you doing here?" Minseok was surprised when he found Junmyeon in his kitchen, sitting on one of his dining chair, playing with an iPad. He was used to go to Junmyeon's place for breakfast, but he didn't expect to see Junmyeon at his own apartment on a Saturday morning. They dated for six days already, there were some little progress in their relationship, they were no longer as awkward around each other as before and started to fell easier into conversation (though it was mostly Junmyeon who carried the conversation), Minseok no longer stiffened when Junmyeon touch him and actually started to enjoy the hugs and the hand holding, something he never get before, he also gave his apartment's key to Junmyeon after Junmyeon gave him his.

Junmyeon also had picked up some from Minseok's personality during those six days, he realized that Minseok was actually really easy to read, whatever he felt in his heart, it could be easily read on his face, but making him saying what he felt was a whole different story though, the boy barely talk at all. Minseok seemed to always put his guard up around people he barely knew and observed behind the wall, if the person treated him badly he would close himself up, but when he was treated nicely, he would be on his toes and afraid that he would get rejected if he did anything wrong, like what he did to Junmyeon. The only time when he acted like a 'normal' teenager, for the lack of better word, was around Luhan and Yixing, maybe because he opened himself up to them already, and Junmyeon was confident, that Minseok would eventually open himself to him, he couldn't wait for the day to come.

Junmyeon's smile when he saw Minseok beats the sun light outside the window. The older rose from his seat and walked closer to Minseok who was still standing on the hallway leading to his bedroom, "Good morning!" He said as he pulled him to a hug. Minseok was cold, Junmyeon notice, Minseok was always cold, so Junmyeon liked to hug him, enjoying the change of his body temperature as the boy in his arms got a little bit warmer. "I was waiting for you to wake up." He answered to Minseok's earlier question.

Minseok unconsciously snuggled a little bit deeper into Junmyeon's hug, craving the unfamiliar warmth he grew to like, "You can just wake me up, you don't have to wait. How long did you wait? I'm sorry, I didn't know you were going to come." He blabbered, he didn't want to cause trouble for Junmyeon so badly, he was worried over the smallest thing.

Junmyeon sush him and hug him even tighter. He had told Minseok to stop apologizing over small things, especially if it wasn't his fault in the first place, it was not his fault that he decided to visit there without telling him, "Shhh, no, you don't have to apologize, I was the one who came without telling you." His heart hurt to see Minseok's behavior like that, it seemed like Minseok was trying so hard to be accepted by him. "And why would I wake you up? It's weekend." He pulled away and smiled at the younger as his way to tell him that it was really not a big deal. "Do you want coffee? I'll make you coffee."

"Y-- yeah... I want coffee..." Minseok accepted the offer and looked a lot at ease when he was sure Junmyeon was not angry.

Junmyeon learned that Minseok was an avid coffee drinker, he also learned how Minseok liked his coffee to be made, with two spoon of sugar and a full spoon of coffee cream. "Alright, you want to wait and watch TV?"

"I'll take a shower, can I?" It was another thing Minseok did around Junmyeon, he felt the need to ask for permission for a lot of things.

"You can do whatever you want, Minseok." Junmyeon reminded him about what he told him before, "Then go get a shower while I make the coffee." Junmyeon kissed Minseok's cheek before turned him around and pushed him lightly towards the bathroom.

=========

"Is there anywhere you want to go to?" Junmyeon asked when they were enjoying their coffee and simple brunch of egg sandwich Junmyeon made.

"Huh?" Was Minseok's only respon.

"I asked you is there anywhere you want to go?" Junmyeon replayed his previous question.

There are some places Minseok wanted to go to actually, to the zoo for example, because Minseok never went to the zoo before and he wanted to see elephant and panda. Also to the bookstore, he wanted to buy some new books, because he had finished his previous book long time ago. There was a new aquarium opened about an hour away from where they lived, Minseok wanted to go there too, but for the meantime, "Ice cream..." He mumbled to himself.

"Ice cream? You want to eat ice cream?" Junmyeon asked to confirm what he thought he heard.

Minseok wanted to eat ice cream so bad, he couldn't even pretend he didn't want to, "It's... If you don't want to--"

"We'll go to buy ice cream then!" Junmyeon ignored his stuttering boyfriend.

During the ride to the ice cream shop, Junmyeon couldn't help himself to keep glancing to his side where Minseok sat on the passenger seat, looking outside the window. Junmyeon rarely ever saw Minseok in casual clothes, he usually saw him in his uniform or in house clothes. That day, Minseok was wearing a pair of dark grey jeans, white t-shirt, a thick black jacket and a light grey scarf covering his neck up to his nose, it was simple and safe, but he looked good still. Minseok looking outside the window with a pleasant look, he wasn't smiling or anything, but his eyes were wide and sparkly, making Junmyeon smiled to himself as he thought that he was making a good decision in taking him for a date. "You don't mind if I drive somewhere a little far, do you? I just don't want to bump onto someone from school." Junmyeon broke the silence.

"Yeah, it's alright," Minseok answered without turning his head away, he was still looking at the shops and cafes they passed by.

"Where do you usually go on the weekend?" Junmyeon decided to make a conversation.

Minseok finally turned to Junmyeon before directed his gaze to his hands on his laps, "Uhm... I usually just stay at home or playing soccer with Luhan."

No wonder he looked pleased that day, he never really go anywhere, Junmyeon thought. In his head, Junmyeon was thinking about places he wanted to take Minseok to, he wanted the younger to see the world, to run between the sand on the beach, watching fireworks on summer nights, drinking coffee together in a small coffee shop, watching midnight movies in the theatre and a lot of other things. It would take a lot of time to do all those things and he didn't know when will they would have the time to, but he promised to himself that he would make it happen. Junmyeon happened to glance at Minseok's hands when the boy rubbed them together and suddenly remember that Minseok was always cold, and he didn't wear any gloves that day, so without thinking he reached his right hand and grabbed Minseok's freezing hands and squeezed them, hoping that he could make them warmer. "Why are you not wearing gloves?"

If only Junmyeon wasn't driving and could see the pretty crimson red on Minseok's cheek. "I lost the last pair I have the other day, and-- and I haven't buy new one." He mumbled his answer to his scarf, but Junmyeon could hear them still.

Junmyeon made a mental note to buy him some new gloves later that day.

=========

The look on Minseok's face when he was looking at the sea of ice cream with various flavors to choose from making Junmyeon had to bite his inner cheek in a somewhat successful attempt to not squeal. He got himself a really cute and adorable boyfriend. "What ice cream do you want, Minseok?" He finally asked after a minute or so.

"Uh... Blueberry and... Green tea with fresh blueberries for the topping." Minseok said to Junmyeon instead of the girl behind the counter.

Junmyeon picked up some new things during that day to add to some other things he picks up in a few days of their relationship. He couldn't help but to realize every smallest thing about Minseok, because everything about Minseok was interesting and on top of anything, to him, everything about Minseok was also important. He wanted to learn everything about the younger boy, what he liked, what he didn't like, what he loved and what he hated, because he had this urge, this overwhelming feeling of wanting to make Minseok happy, he wanted to make him smile, he wanted to see him smile everyday.

His wish was answered as Minseok ate the first bite of his ice cream, he seemed to like it, judging from the smile that grew across his face. When he saw that, Junmyeon found himself smiled along, because he was kind of proud of himself by choosing that ice cream shop that was the largest and the most popular that he knew of. But more important than anything, that was probably the first time Junmyeon ever saw Minseok smiling. Minseok had this beautiful gummy smile that made him look not only adorable, but also look like a teenager that he was, because most of the time, Minseok looked stiff and careful, seeing him smiling like that made Junmyeon's heart danced in his chest.

After the ice cream, they went for a walk around the block, passing trough various shops and cafes. Minseok was mostly quite but observant, he was just looking at various items that were sold inside the shop trough the big window as they walked pass them, he didn't seem like he had so much interest in fashion, but still enjoying the views. Junmyeon reached out to hold Minseok's hand and noticed that Minseok was slightly stiffened but he just kept holding his hand until Minseok eventually relaxed and let Junmyeon lead the way.

Junmyeon learned about Minseok preference in color when he pulled him into one of the shops to buy him some pairs of gloves. "No, you don't have to!" Minseok refused, just like what he expected. "It's just gloves Minseok," He persuaded, "You need them, and I want to buy it for you. Just choose some, would you?" It took Junmyeon a while to make Minseok finally gave up and choose a pair of black and red gloves, they were simple in design, but good quality and really warm (Junmyeon made sure that they were the best quality in the store and he also made sure Minseok didn't got to see the price tag, with the help of the store worker).

Apparently, Minseok was also a fan of animals. How Junmyeon found out, you ask? It was just like two shops away from where they bought the gloves that they found a pet shop. There were some puppies and cats also some pairs of hamsters you can see from outside the window. Minseok was just so interested in them that he momentarily forgot that Junmyeon was holding his hand as he dragged Junmyeon along with him because he wanted to take a closer look to the animals. Junmyeon though he was in trouble when he saw Minseok in the ice cream place earlier, but as he saw Minseok placed his hand on the glass in front of one of the puppies, Junmyeon thought, nope, he was not in trouble, he was in a huge trouble. Junmyeon couldn't understand, why do a lot of people around Minseok wanted to hurt him? That boy was harmless. Sure, he was quite distant, and he would punch whoever provoked him first, but with what they said to him, Junmyeon will punch them too if they said the same things towards him. It was how Minseok protected himself, he didn't know any other way. Maybe because Minseok was an easy target to make those people feel better about themselves, considering his past. How low people willing to stoop just to make themselves feel better, something Junmyeon would never understand.

When they stopped by a food truck to buy spicy rice cake, Junmyeon then found out that Minseok couldn't really stand spicy food. The boy's face turned as red as the sauce when they were halfway trough the food and started drowning himself with water while Junmyeon rubbed his back and couldn't stop apologizing. The old lady who owned the food truck couldn't help but to giggles when she saw them and commented about how pretty Minseok was when they were about to leave, and somehow Junmyeon was the one who feel proud.

==========

They were standing facing each other on Minseok’s apartment door as Junmyeon took him home after a long date and a dinner later, which is, the date was apparently not long enough, because none of them want to bid their good bye first. Minseok fidgeted and eyes nailed to the floor, he didn’t want the day to end just yet, because as strange as it sounds for him, he was actually having fun, but he didn’t know how to show it or to say it.

“So, good night, Minseok. And rest well.” Junmyeon finally say something in attempt to save Minseok from having to say something first.

Minseok was kind of disappointed, but didn’t say anything about it, “Thank you.” He finally lifted up his gaze to meet with Junmyeon’s. For everything, he wanted to say. “For today.” Was what Junmyeon heard.

Junmyeon just smiled at him, and waited, because he could see that Minseok wasn’t done and he thought the younger must have something else to say. He thought wrong though, because Minseok didn’t say anything else after that, instead, the slightly smaller male took a hesitant step forward and pressed his lips onto Junmyeon’s as he found balance on Junmyeon’s shoulder. The kiss though, was simple, as soft as it can be, and innocent one at that, making Junmyeon’s blood singing in his veins. It wasn’t about the way Minseok kissed him, but it was the first time Minseok actually kissed him first, and he never thought such a simple kiss could make him feel that happy, and excited, and giddy, and all the good feeling he felt at once, that he couldn’t help but to smile from ear to ear as Minseok pulled away.

“Good night.” Minseok whispered after he took a step back.

==========

Junmyeon was just about to open the door into his own apartment when Minseok called him again, and he put his key back into his pocket and turned around, “Yeah?”

“Do—do you want to—to stay over?” Minseok was just desperately didn’t want the day to end just yet.

Junmyen could hear it clearly in the innocent request, he understood, because he was reluctant to leave as well.

“Sure, I’ll just change into my pajamas first.”
