Taemin P.O.V:

"You look good Tae. Heading out?" Makise glances at me from the kitchen.

I go in and smile awkwardly.

"Y-Yeah actually, forgot to tell you."

"That's fine I'm okay." she chuckles looking down at her empty class, and tapping on it as though to distract herself.

"I still have to make up for it." I bite my lip.

"Huh?"

"Remember..I promised you a date?"

I don't know why I was still trying but...I really felt bad.

"OH. Tch, you're so awkward when you're romantic. It's fine even if we never do... Just, go have fun Tae."

I nod and watch her pour water in a small glass.

"Makise will you be fine alone?" I question, genuinely worried.

"Taemin. I've been feeling better and I can take care of myself. I have anime to catch up on too." she winks and drinks from the glass.

I sigh and look at her. Yes she had regained some of her colors, but she didn't seem all the way there.

"If you say so... alright see you and take care! Call me if anything."

"Yes, dad." she rolls her eyes and waves.

I couldn't stop checking myself out through the small black screen of my phone. This was our first date, and for the first time since high school, i was actually nervous (High school tests petrified me). The mall was a basic place to have a date, but since this one had not only shops but a movie theater, restaurants and an arcade, this should be fun.

I sigh and look around. I had been waiting in front of the coffee shop for awhile now. Sixteen minutes and thirty-two seconds.

Not counting or anything.

There were a lot of people inside the mall by this time so it's not like I really stood out. However, I was getting nervous.

He was almost twenty minutes late now.

I hadn't received a text or call from him, and I didn't text him either since i didn't want to seem too impatient or needy.

I was slightly annoyed. Or should I say i was worried. Worried that he'd stand me up. That I would wait a receive a message ten hours late saying that he wouldn't make it. That I would've waited like an idiot, imagining the cute things we will do today for nothing. All these things go were making me worry. And a little annoyed.

"Taemin!"

I look up and see a tall, handsome, thick eyebrowed male running towards me. He was wearing a white V-neck and had a black blazer on. He had blue jeans and was wearing black and white Adidas.

I smile instantly.

Who was annoyed?

Minho P.O.V:

"Mark, don't you have something better to do?" i sigh tiredly looking at my younger brother standing at the door frame.

He had been bothering me for the past twenty minutes. I was trying to get myself ready for me and Taemin's date and this little monster decided to come bother me.

"Nope."

"Go do homework or something."

"Already did that. "

"Go play FIFA."

"I don't like playing on my own, and you're leaving and Kimbum is doing homework."

"Invite Johnny."

"He is busy."

"Mark."

"If you wear that white v-neck whoever your girlfriend is will probably try to elope with you. I'm not ready to be an uncle yet." he looks at me emotionelessly and takes a bite off the homemade sandwich in his hands.

I blush slightly and shake my head, getting rid of any indecent thoughts.

"Th-that is not happening Mark. "

"Yeah, sure." he agrees sarcastically. I shake my head and look for my black blazer. I wore a simple white v-neck (after pondering between that and a white button up) and blue jeans.

"Could you tell Kimbum I'm heading out?"

"Mm, sure." he nods and keeps chewing on his sandwich.

I turn around when his voice startles me.

"Kimbum! Minho is going on a blind date!"

"Mark, you-!"

I hear a stud and heavy footsteps.

Goodness.

"Seriously?" i sigh exasperated, frowning at my brother.

"Hey, you told me to tell him."

"What's this about Minho and a date?" Kimbum pops his head in my room looking around frantically between me and Mark.

"He's going on a date, and we're going to be uncles."

"Wh-"

"Kimbum, don't listen to him I'm just.. heading out a little, I'll see you guys later, don't wait for me for dinner okay, bye!"

I quickly rush out my room and head downstairs leaving the house before more questions could be asked.

I look at my phone, I was definitely going to be late.

I get on my motorcycle, put on my helmet and head towards the mall hoping he hasn't already left.

Arriving at the mall, I quickly find a parking space and head inside. We were to meet in front of Starbucks, so i head there immediately. He hadn't sent me any text, and I was in too much of a hurry to text him (which was dumb I could've multitasked).

I look around and found the Starbucks. Right in front of it, a beautiful male, wearing ripped jeans, a white sweater with the word 'Imagine' written in black bold.

"Taemin!" i exclaim relieved, smiling and running towards him.

He looks up and smiles. His smile was the sweetest. What did i do to deserve him again?

"I'm so sorry, I'm late." i breath out as soon as I reach him.

He shakes his head and smiles softly.

"It's fine, I didn't wait here for too long."

I nod and look around.

"Are you thirsty or hungry?"

He shakes his head once more.

"Nope. I'm okay."

"Mm, alright. Then let's look around and see what we can do."

Taemin P.O.V:

"Hey, they opened a new store."

I could hear Minho's voice, but I wasn't exactly sure what he said. I smiled and nodded, too busy glancing down at his hand to respond. I wasn't sure if I should grab it myself. I sighed and looked away.

We walked a few more steps till I felt warmth near my hand. I jumped slightly and looked at it.

"Oh, I'm sorry if I scared you.. Mmm..i was trying to hold your hand.. are you okay..with it i mean?" he studders slightly red faced and rubbing his neck awkwardly.

"Y-Yeah." i nod smiling and feeling my cheeks redden.

"Cool." he smiles and laces our fingers.

We kept walking shoulder to shoulder, looking around like tourist. A couple on tour. Others would think we were awkward since we were not saying a word to each other. But it wasn't exactly awkward. It was more like the soothing type of silence. It was as if... each other's presence was enough.

I smile and look around, a sports store catching my attention as the mannequins through the window reminded me of something.

"Hey Minho, you told me i owed you a hoodie?" i question looking at him.

Minho chuckles and looks down at me.

"Yeah, but I was just joking."

"Mmm...What was it about though?"

He raises an eyebrow and puffs his cheeks.

"Well..that day we talked for the first time...I was heading to class and saw you sleeping on the bench. So i took off my hoodie and put it on you."

"So..that was you?"

He nods and giggles cockily. I roll my eyes and tug at his hand.

"Okay, follow me."

"Huh?"

I ignore him and drag him into the sports store. It had multiple articles. Nike's, Adidas, Puma etc.. Shoes, hoodies, shirts and all that good stuff.

"Hello." A man in a referee shirt greets us as soon as we head in.

"May i help you?" he asks.

We bow slightly and I look at the man.

"Where are you guy's trending hoodies?"

The man smiles and tells us to follow him. We pass through the women's section and end up in front of the men's section. There were a bunch of fancy basketball and soccer related outfits. and a wall full of shoes was displayed.

"Thank you." i smile after the guy shows us a rack with a card labeled "New" on top.

I bite my lip and look at the rack, still holding unto Minho's hand unconsciously.

"You really don't need to do this." He suddenly whispers to my ear putting his chin on my shoulder.

"T-Too late. I want to." i blush feeling his breath ghost over my neck.

I ignore his sigh and start looking. I look through the Nike section and examine the white hoodies. This special design had 'I'm boss' on it, in a bold silver font with the Nike logo under.

I let go of Minho's hand, immediately feeling the emptiness, and take the hoodie out of the rack.

"Look at this one!" i exclaim turning to him.

His attention was towards the TV suspended from the roof. A basketball game seemed to be on, but I didn't recognize the players.

"Minho!" i frown swatting his arm. He jolts up and looks down at me surprised.

"Oh, I'm sorry got distracted."

I roll my eyes but smile again, showing him what I found.

"Look."

"Ooh, it's fancy, and quite accurate." he chuckles and I sigh.

"But I'm not letting you buy this for me, Taemin."

I frown and look at it.

"Why not? You know money is not a problem, plus I lost your other one."

"It wasn't even mine, it was originally Kimbum's when he was in a frat his freshman year."

"Well, in the end it became yours, so take it."

He sighs and looks around. He looks through the same rack and takes out a black hoodie, on it was written the same thing but in white.

"Okay, here's the deal. I buy you the white one, and you buy me this black one."

"Mm..you don't like the white one?"

He chuckles and points at the collar of the white hoodie in my hand.

"I do but it's a small, I don't think I'll fit that."

"Oh, I didn't notice." i skim through the rack again slightly disappointment. White would look great against his somewhat tanned skin.

"Mm..its the largest left in white." i mumble.

"So, deal?"

I sigh and grin when I see him raise his pinkie.

"Deal." i chuckle wrapping my pinky around his.

Like planned, he pays for my hoodie and I pay for his, we put both in one bag and head out, hand in hand again.

"Hey, you still have my Adidas tracksuit right?" he questions.

I frown, pouting slightly. "I'm keeping it. I'll get you another one if you want..." i say a little unsure. I probably sounded childish.

"N-No i was just wondering. You look adorable in it anyways." he chuckles making me blush.

"Want to go grab a drink, or food? Then we can go do more shopping or we can just head to the arcade." he asks.

"Mmm...Let's grab drinks and looks around a few stores." i smile.

He nods and we head to Aunty Jane's. I get a cherry Icee and he grabs a small coke. I also get the signature sugar cinnamon pretzel bits, since i was feeling slightly hungry. We argue about paying but he whines and ends up being the one paying.

We mostly window shop, just passing by and looking through the windows. We go in for some just to we could check things up close. We laugh at some clothes that looked strange.I joke telling him he should wear them, then he'll do the same but by saying i should try dresses, and we'd laughed like goofballs imagining ourselves in those clothes.

After almost going in every store on the first floor, we head to the stairs, I was so distracted with my food i almost didn't feel him stop.

"Hey, want matching bracelets?" he asks me, looking towards a jewelry shop which I hadn't really paid attention to.

I look at him and look at the shop.

"You believe in me so much already to buy us expensive matching bracelets?" i chuckle.

"I mean you rather us walking into Claire's?" he questions amused.

I look at the bright, pink and childish covered store not too far from where we stood.

I look at him and grimace. He chuckles and wraps his arm around me, dragging me into the store as i held tightly unto my pretzels and Icee.

"Hello, how may i help you today?" a lady with a perfect bun, and dress suit greets us.

"Mm..we're looking for matching rings."

I raise an eyebrow at Minho, slightly confused. The lady smiles and takes out a magazine showing it to us.

"In here you will find a few designs. We don't keep matching rings, unless what you want is simple."

"Oh, thank you so much." Minho smiles and the lady bows slightly, excusing herself before walking away to another costumer.

"Hey, I thought you said bracelets. "

"Changed my mind. Rings are more official. Don't like rings?"

I shrug and bite my lip. Yes, rings made it super official. You have no idea Minho.

"Hey, should ours be like this one? It's simple and all..."

I look at the design he was pointing at. Both rings were silver, one of them has a elegant and simple design. It was thin and nicely done, while the other one was a little more complicated, swirls giving it it's own elegant look.

"I like it." i smile softly looking over the rings.

"Alright."

Minho looks around and makes eye contact with the lady from earlier. She comes back and asks if we found anything. Minho shows her the design and she smiles understandingly.

She asks for our fingers and writes down the size she knew would fit properly.

"You guys are both really handsome." she smiles writing down our measurements.

"Ah, Thank you." Minho bows chuckling awkwardly.

I bow and thank her. She tells us our orders should be ready in a week or two. We both give her our names, sign papers, and head out.

"So, arcade now?" Minho smiles taking a sip off his coke before throwing the empty cup away.

"Yeah!" i say excitedly throwing my empty Icee as well and grabbing a pretzel, but before i can eat it Minho puts his mouth around it and eats it.

"Hey!"

He chuckles and looks around.

"It's getting dark, we should head to the movie areas after a few games to see what movie is left to watch."

"Let's go then!" I grab his hand and drag him towards the arcades. I loved the arcades more then I loved shopping. After anime, games were my favorite thing.

The arcade was full of teenagers and college men. The lights were slightly dim and the different games were shining in multiple colors. There were a few indie games, some newer ones, the oh so famous dance game and many more.

"You seem to like the arcade."

"Y-Yeah. Haven't come here in a while. Use to come with Key and Jonghyun."

He nods and looks around.

"Alright, so where do we start?"

__________

After multiple games where Minho would win when it required strength and accuracy, and him getting slightly childish when I won at the more sillier games, we ended up in a little karaoke booth.

"I'm gonna love you! Like i'm saying goodbye~" i sing playfully. Yet, some of my words were directed to him. I hoped he could understand how i felt, I never really told him how I felt completely. I know karaoke wasn't the best way but...

"Woohoo, Taemin, i didn't know you could sing." he claps and smiles brightly.

"I'm not that great, you have a nice rap voice, you should try it out."

"Mm, nah, I rather listen to you sing all day."

I blush and look away, distracting me with the book full of karaoke songs.

"Tch, come sing this next song with me."

I look through the catalog and pick one with two different people in it. I ended up picking 'Whatever You Do' by Crush featuring Gray.

We spent an hour and a half in the booth, singing our hearts out and laughing. It was fun and I wish someone could be recording this, just so i could re-watch it later and see the way he smiled.

It's a silly thing really. How much he captivated me.

__________

"Okay, there's still a handful of movies playing. We can watch the 9 o'clock sessions." Minho smiles down at me.

"Okay!"

"What do you feel like watching? There's that new scary movie... The action movie with the spy and all that stuff.. there's also comedy.." Minho reads from the posters.

"Hold up, I'll check the reviews."

I take out my phone and find my screen lit from notifications. Three from Key and one from an unknown number. And it was recent. I shake my head and decide to ignore it, I'm sure he just texted me because he was bored.

I open my browser and look through reviews.

"Mm, most of them are ranked the same..."

He hums and looks over my shoulder.

I bite my lip and keep looking through descriptions, till my phone lights up and a number pops up.

"Oh, a call." i frown getting ready to hang it up.

"You should pick it up, just in case."he chuckles.

I sigh looking at the unknown number and pick it up.

"Hello?"

"Hello, Mr. Lee Taemin?" a feminine voice answers.

I frown.

"Y-Yes?"

"Mr. Lee Taemin, this is about Mrs. Lee Horrikita Makise. We've called earlier but couldn't reach you, but Mrs.Makise has arrived at the EU a few hours ago. Will you be able to make it here?"

"Y-Yes." i breath out dryly.

"Alright, she is currently stable but we do need you to sign papers for her."

"Al-Alright. I'll be right there."

"Right, and also Mr.Lee-"

The woman speaks into the phone. I answer with a soft no. She tells me they need me and the call hangs up.

"Taemin..?"

I let my hand fall to the side. All these questions pop up in my head. Was she okay? What had happened? I could swear earlier this morning she looked just fine. How?

"I have to go.. " i mumble still out of it.

"Wh- Taemin, what's going on?"

"I have to go." i tell him more determined feeling my heart race and breathing become almost unbearable.

"Wait what T-"

I don't think twice, I just run out, leaving Minho behind.

The words the woman had said echoes in my ears.

'"And also Mr.Lee, did you know she was pregnant?"
