Jaemin hugged the latter for some more, inhaling his scent in a few long, deep breaths. He couldn't believe that Jeno was there. He couldn't believe that he has returned, even if it was only for a week.

"Jaemin-ah... Let's go for a walk. I've got something I have to talk to you about."

And so they went. They walked in silence to the close park, hand in hand and smiles on their faces. The kids were running everywhere, playing tag, having picnics and just having fun around. Jaemin's smile even widened when a little girl bumped into him and looked up to apologize.

"I'm sorry, oppa." She apologized in a tiny voice, the latter dismissing her with a toothy smile.

"What is it you wanted to talk about?" Jaemin asked, once they sat down at a bench near a small lake. There were some kids that were feeding the ducks, teens who just hang out with their friends, couples on picnics and some older couples walking their dogs.

It truly was an amazing day to be alive, Jaemin thought.

Jeno took a deep, yet shaky breath, grasping the other's hand in his before he spoke.

"Would you like to move to Canada with me?"

The blonde's gaze landed on the hockey player, lips slightly parted. What?

What?

Sure, yes, he'd love that. He could be closer to Jeno, could finally see him skated in person, maybe would be finally able to skate with him. Canada was full of many different, new opportunities. Jaemin could start his life again, but now with Jeno by his side.

But what about Chenle and Renjun? What about his family, work, his other friends? He'd miss them...

And Mark? What would he say if he found out that Jaemin was meant to move in with them? That's another neck to feed.

"L- Look, if you don't want to-"

"No! No, it's not like that. I'd love to go with you, Jen... It's just... What about my family, Renjun and Chenle?  I'm just a little scared but I also wanna go..."

Jaemin didn't know what to do. He was lost.

He needed to talk to his parents first and needed to make up his mind properly.

"How much time do I have to think it through?" Jaemin asked. The two of them took of of the bench and slowly made their way back to the house.

This time, the silence was a little bit awkward. Somehow it killed Jeno. He was scared that the other male will decline the offer and stay in Korea.

"Until Wednesday, then we're leaving again." Jeno whispered, their hands no longer touching. Wednesday was in two days, Jaemin had to think right now.

He stopped in his tracks and looked up at the blue sky. There was not a single cloud. The day was warm and overall just inviting people to go jump into the water to cool themselves.

What is Toronto going to be like? Is it cold over there? Will he be able to see his family and friends?

He knew that he could call Renjun almost all the time and the two Chinese boys will make it alone. They both are pretty good at handling the house, they can make it alone.

Well and his parents... He hasn't seen them in almost three months now. He will return for the Christmas holidays and the lunar New year, that will be enough.

"Jeno-ya, let's go to my parents tomorrow." Jaemin decided, before running over to him to continue on their way back to see the other boys and go to the beach.
