jaemin and renjun sat together on a picnic blanket at the park. the best view of the river was right infront of them as they opened up their picnic baskets, stealing 'not-so-secret-glances' at eachother. renjun pulled the sandwhiches and fruits out of the basket, setting them down onto the blanket carefully.

   the taller male was pouring drinks for them in paper cup and smiled when he was satisfied with his work. he looked up to check on how much renjun had completed to see that the latter was already staring at him.

   he snapped his head away immediately, red tinting his cheeks. "cute," jaemin cooed, only causing renjun to blush even more. "let's start eating," renjun suggested, trying to change the subject quickly.

   his voice was an octive higher than usual, making it painfully obvious that he was still embarrased. "okay," jaemin decided to give in and end the teasing. he reached for a sandwhich and took a bite of it.

   he had spent the entire night before making sandwhiches and cutting fruit that he knew renjun liked. he even worked hard on making ice lemon water which he knew renjun loved. for the most part, they ate silently, the only noise being the chill beats coming from jaemin's phone.

   they continued to eat in peace, looking up and smiling at eachother before looking away again shyly every now and then. the time caused the sun light to glow on their faces, both looking especially pretty with the natural light hitting them. 

   "renjun," jaemin called. the older looked up with a sandwhich in hand, completely oblivious to the smear of sauce on his bottom lip. jaemin smiled fondly at him before leaning towards him, their faces inches apart.

   the chinese flushed a deep red as he felt jaemin's breath fanning his nose. "what are y—," his words were cut off as his eyes met the younger's. the air around them quickly changed as a tension built around them. slowly and cautiously, jaemin wiped renjun's bottom lip with the pad of his thumb. "be more careful, renjun-ah."

   renjun lowered his head at an attempt to hide his blush. "i'm sorry," he apologized shyly. jaemin's eyes were soft with a wide smile on his face. he found the older to be really adorable with his red face and fumbling fingers. the ravenette stood up suddenly, startling renjun who was still sitting down.

   "let's go for a walk. just around here," jaemin offered. renjun nodded in response and smiled gratefully when jaemin extended a hand to help him up. the two walked side by side as they admired the view of the river— and eachother. 

   renjun's heart pounded in his chest when he felt jaemin's pinky rubbing against the back of his hand. jaemin was holding his breath as he gently intertwined his fingers with renjun's. when renjun didn't move his hand away and looked up with a smile, he breathed a sigh of relief. did that mean that the chinese had similar feelings as he did for the other?

   the older of the two was on cloud nine. even though the walk was silent and he knew that they didn't have much time left before jaemin had to go home, he still couldn't shake the feeling of happiness that he had. 

"renjun!"

   the said male woke up with a start, both chenle and jisung staring down at him. "hyung, you fell asleep during the movie and we've been trying to wake you up," chenle shook his head. oh, it was all a dream.

   "we have to go. mark hyung called earlier to let us know that their movie ended," jisung explained, pointing at the time on his phone. "sorry," renjun stood up giving the two younger boys a small smile as if he wasn't crushed by the fact that none of what he dreamt of was real.

"let's go."
