Wonwoo taps his foot nervously as he waits for Mingyu. He turns on his phone to check the time and frowns. He's been waiting for Mingyu for over two hours now, but Mingyu still hasn't shown up. Wonwoo opens up the Tumblr app to see if Mingyu's messaged him, but no new messages show up. Wonwoo's shoulders droop.

Did Mingyu decide that he didn't want to meet Wonwoo after all? Wonwoo shakes his head. Mingyu is too good of a person to do that without telling Wonwoo. It's been a while though...maybe he should just leave, he thinks. The door to the ice cream shop slams open and the bell sounds harshly, pulling Wonwoo out of his thoughts.

"Wonwoo-hyung!" Wonwoo hears Mingyu's voice shout. Wonwoo's head snaps up, and he sees Mingyu standing in the doorway, panting heavily.

"M-Mingyu-yah..." Wonwoo stares at Mingyu with wide eyes.

"Oi, student! You're too noisy! Some of us are trying to eat peacefully here! Don't be so loud!" A man sitting in a booth near the door gives Mingyu an annoyed glare.

"Sorry," Mingyu apologizes as he bows. The man huffs and turns back to the woman sitting across from him. Mingyu rushes over to the booth that Wonwoo's sitting in.

"I'm really sorry for being so late," Mingyu says, still breathing heavily. "It's a really long story. I promise, it wasn't intentional."

"Don't worry, it's fine." Wonwoo smiles. He's relieved that Mingyu even showed up at all. "What happened?"

"Ah, it's a long story," Mingyu tells him. "Do you still want to hear it?"

"I have time." Wonwoo shrugs. "As long as you're okay with it, you can tell me. Ah, wait, do you want to get some ice cream first?"

"Nah, I'm fine," Mingyu replies. "But if you're finished with yours, do you want to go take a walk around the park or something? That guy's still glaring at me."

"Sure," Wonwoo agrees. He stands up and tossed his ice cream cup into the trash can as he and Mingyu walk out of the ice cream shop. The two walk in silence for a few minutes until they reach an empty section of the park.

"So what happened?" Wonwoo asks. Mingyu jumps.

"Huh? Oh, right." Mingyu kicks a pebble and watches it roll down the pathway in front of them. "Well to put it shortly, I saw some middle school kids picking on another boy their age. I scared the guys off, but the kid that they were picking on was limping, so I took him to the hospital."

"The poor boy," Wonwoo murmurs.

"Yeah. Luckily, the doctors said that he'd be okay. The kid's foot was was just sprained, not broken, but I waited with him until someone came for him and took him home. I only remembered that I was supposed to meet you right as I was leaving, so I had to sprint over and hope that you were still there. Thank God you were." Mingyu smiles.

"That was so nice of you, Mingyu," Wonwoo says. "You're such a good person."

"Anyone would've done the same," Mingyu responds. He frowns. "It made me really mad though. Apparently the other kids were picking on him because he's an orphan. How stupid is that?"

"Seriously?" Wonwoo asks in disbelief. "That's so rude."

"I know. Hopefully they won't do it anymore," Mingyu sighs. "I gave the kid and the girl that picked him up my number just in case anything does happen again though. Next time those kids pick on him, I'm going to teach them a lesson."

"Just don't hurt yourself doing it," Wonwoo replies, and the pair is quiet again for a minute.

"So are we going to talk about us now, or what?" Mingyu says, stopping suddenly. "Why'd you ignore me for so long?"

"Do you remember that day at the mall when Seokmin and I ran into you and Sohye? Well, we were talking while you were gone, and she told me about how you guys dated," Wonwoo confesses. "At first, I was a just little jealous and upset because you told me that you were hanging out with a friend when really, you were hanging out with your ex."

"Wonwoo," Mingyu whispers.

"I know that it shouldn't be a big deal, but I felt a bit...inferior. I mean, you guys had dated for a long time! Why wouldn't I feel like that? Not to mention how well you two knew each other." Wonwoo frowns.

"And when you came back, it just felt like you were ignoring me or didn't really care that I was there," Wonwoo continues. "I started wondering if you really liked me at all, you know? To me, it seemed like you still liked her, and that hurt. I didn't know what to do, so I decided to break up with you. I didn't think you liked me."

"I do like you though. If anything, it feels like you're the one who doesn't like me! You never used to message me first, and even though you do now, it's hard for me to believe that you actually do like me. I mean, you're older than me, you're handsome, you're smart–"

"You're smart too, don't give me that bullshit," Wonwoo interrupts. "You're first in your grade."

"Yeah, but I still feel stupid when I'm with you! You're so much more mature too, and I'm always worrying that maybe one day you'll realize that you actually don't like me at all. I worry that you'll realize that you're way too good for me, and that you'll break up with me, and–mmmph!"

Wonwoo grabs the back of Mingyu's head and slams their lips together in a kiss. The two of them break apart after a while and stare at each other quietly, chests heaving as they breathe in and out heavily. Wonwoo notices a tear sliding down Mingyu's face and wipes it away. His eyes flick back up to meet Mingyu's.

"I was an idiot," Wonwoo says. He gets on his knees. "I'm sorry."

"It's not entirely your fault," Mingyu denies. "I made mistakes too. I did kind of ignore you when I was at the mall, right? And I didn't even do anything when you were leaving. Did I even say bye to you?!"

"Still, I ignored you for days and hurt you. I'm sorry," Wonwoo apologizes.

"How about we just start over?" Mingyu suggests. He sticks his hand out for a handshake. "Hi, I'm Kim Mingyu."

"Really?" Wonwoo gives Mingyu a flat look. Mingyu beams and doesn't move his hand. "At least hit me or something for being so rude–"

"Just treat me to dinner at a nice restaurant or something. Let's try this again," Mingyu says. "Hi, I'm Kim Mingyu." Wonwoo sighs and shakes Mingyu's hand.

"Jeon Wonwoo."

"Well, Jeon Wonwoo, you're pretty attractive. Any chance you'd be interested in going on a date with me?"

"Are you this creepy to everyone you meet?"

"Wonwoo-hyung!" Mingyu whines. Wonwoo grins.

"Fine, fine. I guess that doesn't sound too bad."

"Great! I know a really great place that I'm sure you'll love. Shall we? Your treat."

"Yeah yeah, whatever, just lead the way."
