"You can choose anything you like, seriously, I never use that card anyways." Mingyu assured Wonwoo who was definitely being to frugal with his decisions.

"It's your birthday." Mingyu reminded the beauty. "Yeah, I know but... this is new to me." Wonwoo explained and Mingyu took his hand, guiding him to a bookstore he'd seen earlier.

"Okay, if it's hard buying really expensive stuff, then just buy as many books as you want." Mingyu gestured to the store which was filled with all sorts of books with their genres written above them.

Wonwoo took a deep breath before looking at Mingyu. "Any book I want?" He clarified and Mingyu nodded. "As many as you want."

Maybe he shouldn't have said that because an hour later, they were still in the store and Wonwoo now had three bags full of books.

Luckily, while Wonwoo was browsing through the sections, Mingyu was able to get his own gift for Wonwoo which Mr Kim had already taken to the car.

"Wonwoo... hyung, don't you want to buy anything else?" Mingyu stopped the beauty as he passed by. "You said as many as I want though." Wonwoo pouted and Mingyu let him go. He was too cute to restrain.

"I did say that... carry on then." He replied and Wonwoo smiled again, continuing his search. At this point, they would be here until it was time to go to the play.

By 2:30, Mingyu had to stop Wonwoo and pay for the 15 books the beauty had picked out. "You didn't choose that many." Mingyu pointed out and Wonwoo shrugged. "Quality over quantity puppy." Mingyu smiled. He loved Wonwoo's new pet name for him.

"We should get something to eat." Mingyu suggested and Wonwoo agreed, taking his bags of books from the cashier.

"What do you want?" Mingyu asked, his arm around Wonwoo. "I don't know why but I'm craving a burger." Wonwoo replied and Mingyu started to search for fast food places in the mall.

Eventually, they found a restaurant that served luxury burgers which they both became intrigued by.

"So I'm not allowed to pay for anything?" Wonwoo questioned and Mingyu gave a sharp nod before turning back to the worker.

"Can we get two of your steak burgers, one black pork burger and two milkshakes?" Mingyu told the cashier who nodded, putting the order into the system.

"That'll be 63,959 won." The cashier informed Mingyu who took out his card and gave her. "60 what? Can we split it?" Wonwoo begged but Mingyu maintained his decision. He was not going to let Wonwoo buy anything today.

He put in his pin and the transaction finished with the cashier handing over his receipt. "You're so evil." Wonwoo folded his arms and Mingyu chortled. "How am I evil, Jeon Wonwoo?" He asked and Wonwoo went red for like the millionth time during this holiday.

"Don't call me Jeon Wonwoo, I'm your hyung." Wonwoo muttered and Mingyu chuckled. "Oh really? Okay, hyung." Mingyu said in a monotonous voice and Wonwoo sighed.

"Maybe don't call me hyung... unless it's necessary." He reiterated making Mingyu laugh. "Yeah, that's what I thought."

~~~~~~~~~~~~~

The food finally arrived and Mingyu helped Wonwoo cut his burger into tinier pieces and split the pork burger in half.

Wonwoo took a bite of the regular burger and the corners of his mouth slowly lifted up, his tongue pleased at the taste of the burger. He'd never eaten a luxury burger before but if this was how they all tasted, he had acquired a love for them now.

"Is it good?" Mingyu asked and Wonwoo nodded immediately. "It's so good." He gave Mingyu a thumbs up before sipping on his chocolate milkshake which he checked before sipping. It was a habit to check every single drink after what had happened to him a few years ago.

"Try this one." Mingyu's fork appeared in front of Wonwoo's mouth with a piece of the burger which had black pork, one of Jeju's famous foods, attached to it. Wonwoo opened his mouth and detached the burger from the fork before chewing on it.

"Wow", was all Wonwoo managed to say as he chewed down on the burger. Soft but not too soft, perfectly juicy and spiced with so many flavours.

It had to be the best burger he'd ever eaten.

"Beauty." He heard Mingyu call and he managed to look at him without blushing. Maybe because he was too concentrated on the food.

"It's already 10 minutes past three and the theatre is like an hour away." Mingyu showed Wonwoo the time on his lockscreen and the two began to munch on the burgers as fast as they could, finishing their meal and drinks in about 5 minutes.

"Are we good to go?" Mingyu asked once Wonwoo finished arranging the plates and glasses. "Yeah, let's go." Wonwoo said and Mingyu grabbed his hand as they rushed out of the restaurant.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~

They had gotten to the theatre just in time to buy popcorn and other snacks to take in. Once they got their snacks, they went up the stairs and looked for the theatre the play was taking place in.

They finally found it and got in, settling down in their VIP seats close to the stage. "You got VIP?!" Wonwoo whispered in excitement and Mingyu smirked. "Of course I got VIP!"

"Thank you." Wonwoo said for the hundredth time today. "You deserve it." Mingyu replied before taking a bite of the popcorn.

Mingyu tried to stop himself from dozing off during the play many times. While Wonwoo was quoting lines and watching the play with various emotions, Mingyu could barely stay awake.

But it didn't matter because this was for Wonwoo, not for him. If he had to get through this boring play to make Wonwoo happy, then he would.

"Do you know how long this play usually takes?" Mingyu questioned, as they'd been there for an hour already and the play didn't look like it was ending any time soon.

"4 hours, it's Hamlet Mingyu, Shakespeare's longest play." Wonwoo replied before focusing his attention on the play again.

Mingyu sank into his chair, a deep sigh escaping his lips. 3 more hours of this? All for his beauty, Jeon Wonwoo.
