For several weeks, they had exchanged messages. Even when they were at work, they always found a few seconds to answer each other and smile at the other's message.

Two days ago, they had made a step further : Sunghwa had pressed the call button. They'd been chatting all night, at least the end of the night after the older man's shift, going through all the topics and ending up both falling asleep, without hanging up.

The next step was to meet. A date-type encounter, at least from Dabin's point of view. And he knew that was his turn to ask, his hyung had made him understand : he had made the first step by giving him his number and calling him, now it was his turn.

But he was not at all reassured. Even though he suspected that Sunghwa wouldn't refuse, the past and the loneliness had made him introverted, shy and insecure, so deep down he dreaded rejection from his hyung.

So he postponed the fateful moment, but he couldn't resist for long. Ignorance of the answer consumed him more than the torment over the question.

Right now he was staring at his phone on the coffee table in front of his couch he was sprawling on. He was torturing his mind. But urged on by an unknown mystical force, he straightened up and picked up his phone before texting Sunghwa.

Meet at 8 p.m. where it all began.

OK ?

A minute later, Sunghwa responded positively, causing Dabin to squeal with joy.

It was 5:24 pm, he had quite a bit of time left and it was perfect because he had no idea what to prepare. After a good hour of intense thinking, research and hesitation, he finally knew what he was going to do.

He started by showering and dressing - again, he hesitated before opting for black jeans and a classic white t-shirt. He took his keys, wallet and phone before leaving. First he went through a decoration store, he bought a few lanterns with candles, a tablecloth and a blanket.

He had 45 minutes left so he hurried over to pick up his take-out order and small donuts from a local bakery - Sunghwa had once said he loved those little sweets.

He looked at his watch and began to speed up towards the meeting point : he was going to be late if this continued. But he came to the tree behind the school and no Sunghwa was on the horizon, so he took the opportunity to put everything in place.

Once everything was about perfect, he sat down on the tablecloth and waited. 19:56.

As precise as a clock, Sunghwa entered his dongsaeng's field of vision at 8 p.m. sharp. A slight anxiety drove them both, but they walked past it, hugging each other to greet each other before starting to eat dinner.

The atmosphere was good, the stress of the date fading away, they could chat and laugh quietly. Night began to fall, Dabin took out his lighter to light the lanterns.

"Do you still smoke ? Sunghwa gently reproached, pointing the lighter.

- No, I only keep it on me because it can be used, proof here. Dabin smiled softly, taking a sip of the soju.

- Have you stopped ? Congratulations. Softly applauds the older one.

- I had some motivation.

- Which is ?

- I wanted to please a hyung and he doesn't like cigarettes. Dabin said with a wink."

Dabin had the impression that the dimples in his hyung were turning pink, but it was surely an illusion. The evening ended silently, but it was calming, not disturbing. Sunghwa very much appreciated the donuts and especially the fact that the younger had thought of them.

Dabin had ended up cuddling in Sunghwa's arms, both under the blankets, staring at the stars.

"Say hyung. Dabin had a surge of courage. Do you like me ?

- Maybe.

- Answer me.

- Yes.

- Do you want to go out with me ?

- Maybe.

- Hyung !

- Yes yes ! Sunghwa laughed. I want to go out with you. "

So Sunghwa leaned down, stroked Dabin's cheek with his thumb before kissing him tenderly.
