it was a saturday, and taehyung felt so bored that he physically thought he would die. he kept flitting through t.v channels, trying to find something, anything;

but his attempts were futile. he would stare at the ceiling for five minutes, then roll over and groan into his pillow before repeating the action in an endless cycle of boredom.

finally, when the boredom got to be too much to bear, he started to brainstorm things for him to do, and he was extremely desperate.

his first thought was to hang out with yoongi, but yoongi had driven down to daegu for the weekend to visit his parents.

his second thought was to call jeongguk and tell him to come over, but jeongguk was working.

and it was when taehyung was thinking about that, he got the idea that he could go to the skating rink.

itching to get out of his house he threw on some shoes and left, running out the door and getting into his car at lightning speed.

taehyung walked into the skating rink, a bounce in his step because he was going to get to see jeongguk soon.

he ran to the snack bar, turning around the corner with a huge smile on his face. the smile dropped though, when he saw hyungwon behind the counter rather than jeongguk.

he walked up, placing his hands on the counter and trying to grab hyungwon's attention. there was no line as usual, and the skating rink was nearly empty that day. hyungwon looked half asleep standing up.

"yes?" hyungwon asked in a tired voice, his eyelids drooping heavily. taehyung craned his neck, still looking for jeongguk.

"um, where's jeongguk?" taehyung looked around, not even reacting when hyungwon let out a deep sigh.

"he's in the back taking a banana milk break." despite the ever so rude tone in hyungwon's voice, taehyung's face lit up when he remember jeongguk's adorable love for banana milk.

"you're taehyung, right?" taehyung actually met hyungwon's eyes for the first time, and gave a small nod.

"thought so." hyungwon turned and grabbed a cup, and then began filling it up with cherry cola. "here." he handed it to taehyung, and taehyung's eyes widened.

"for me?" he asked, taking the cherry cola with his mouth dropped open.

"yeah, you can head back and see him." hyungwon gestured towards the door in the back, seeming nonchalant about the whole free cherry cola situation.

"you know, you're actually pretty nice hyungwon." taehyung said sincerely, grabbing a straw and taking a sip of his cherry cola.

"not really, i just made jeongguk mad last week and i'm hoping this'll make him forgive me." he resumed his position behind the cash register.

"i'm gonna pretend i didn't hear that, and continue to think you're just nice." taehyung watched as hyungwon smiled a bit and chuckled, before he returned to giving the same bored glare.

"bye bye hyungwon." taehyung waved with his free hand as he moved to go to the back room, hearing hyungwon call a monotone, "bye," after him.

he strutted to the back, sipping on his cherry cola the whole way. he knocked on the door three times, and it swung open revealing a confused looking jeongguk sipping a banana milk on the other side.

his furrowed brows quickly relaxed when he saw taehyung, and he pulled the banana milk away from his lips to smile big and wide.

"tae!" he stepped out of the way to let the boy in, closing the door behind him. the moment taehyung had put his drink down on one of the tables, jeongguk reached forward and wrapped his arms around him, making taehyung squeak in surprise.

the squeak quickly turned into a laugh and he hugged back, wrapping his arms around jeongguk's neck.

the younger pulled back a bit so their faces were merely an inch apart, and then kissed taehyung gently, taehyung kissing back with a smile on his face.

when taehyung was about to grab the back of jeongguk's head to pull him in deeper, jeongguk pulled back.

"why does one of us always have to pull back." taehyung whined, making grabby hands for jeongguk as the latter moved away with a laugh.

"i wanted to talk to you a bit first." jeongguk chuckled at taehyung's pout, and he set his banana milk down before pulling up a chair and sitting.

"come sit." jeongguk's eyes instantly darkened as he patted his thigh, making taehyung gulp but walk over excitedly anyway.

he slowly sat down on jeongguk's lap, face to face with him. taehyung couldn't resist their faces being so close and leaned in to kiss him, only to be stopped by a finger on his lips.

"uh-uh baby. talk first, remember?" jeongguk warned, and taehyung nodded, the sudden demanding tone in jeongguk's voice driving him crazy.

"so, what brings you here?" jeongguk leaned back into his seat, looking up at taehyung with lidded eyes.

"i um," taehyung swallowed, "got bored and wanted to come see you." he was finding it harder and harder not kiss jeongguk with every second.

"oh but baby, what if i had been working?" jeongguk's tongue poked the side of his cheek, and taehyung thought he was going to die.

"i-i, um..." taehyung felt so incredibly hot he could hardly speak, just wanting to taste jeongguk's lips and the remnants of banana milk on them.

"you wanted to distract me, huh?" jeongguk tsked, making taehyung look away and nod sheepishly.

jeongguk put a hand under his chin and turned his head, forcing taehyung's eyes to meet his.

"sss'ok. you're my favorite distraction." he leaned upwards and met taehyung's lips, the older automatically kissing back, feeling so relieved.

he ran his fingers through jeongguk's hair, pulling him closer so the kiss was deepened. they breathed heavily through their noses, the air around them feeling stuffy as they made out furiously.

it had only been about a minute when the door opened, making both boys pull away with a string of saliva connecting their lips.

"oh, ew." hyungwon turned away, covering his eyes as if he'd just seen the devil.

"whaddup hyungwon." jeongguk asked, seeming unbothered about the whole thing while taehyung felt like dying.

"jesus." hyungwon grumbled under his breath before turning back to face the boys, his nose still scrunched up in disgust.

"i was gonna say that i'm about to leave because the skating rink closed, so you need to turn off the lights and lock the doors and shit." hyungwon breathed, sounding extremely annoyed.

"ok, i will. is that all?"

"yeah." hyungwon sighed and he turned around, but taehyung didn't miss the "digusting" he muttered under his breath as he closed the door.

taehyung leaned forward and rested his head in jeongguk's shoulder, cheeks burning.

"ohmygod, that was so embarrassing." he groaned, and jeongguk just laughed at him.

"but did you hear? we have the entire skating rink to ourselves." jeongguk said, a hint of playfulness under his breath.

"what does that mean?" taehyung pulled his head out, looking at jeongguk with a raised eyebrow.

"let me show you."

&

ten minutes later and jeongguk and taehyung were behind the counter, laughing like crazy as they made random deathly combinations of sodas.

they were wasting cups and drinks, but they were having too much fun to care.

"alright, mountain dew and rootbeer. bop or flop?" jeongguk asked as he filled up a cup halfway with mountain dew and halfway with root beer.

"aren't those terms used to refer to songs?"

"just go with it."

taehyung giggled and grabbed a straw for jeongguk to use before thinking about it.

"uh, okay. bop?" taehyung said it as a question, reaching over and placing the straw in the now filled cup.

"we'll see." jeongguk gave a half smile before taking a long sip, facial expression not giving away anything about the taste.

"so, how was it?" taehyung asked with raised eyebrows, looking at jeongguk expectantly.

"not sure, you'll have to try it and find out." jeongguk smirked mischievously, shoving the cup towards taehyung who immediately pushed it away.

"no way, what if it's disgusting!" taehyung kept trying to push the cup away but jeongguk was persistent.

"you'll live."

taehyung glared at him and took the cup, grumbling something about jeongguk peer pressuring him before taking a sip.

he coughed immediately, putting the cup down in disgust. "oh jesus, that's way too sweet."

"i know." jeongguk smiled at the older's reaction, wiggling his eyebrows.

"so, what do you want to try next." taehyung asked, scanning all the different flavors of soda that they were undoubtedly wasting.

"actually, i have a better idea." jeongguk said and he took taehyungs hand and led him out of the snack bar and through to the rink.

he took taehyung out onto the floor until they were in the middle, and then let go. "wait here." he ordered and then turn around and ran back, leaving confused taehyung behind.

he stood awkwardly for 30 seconds or so, before all the lights in the skating rink turned off, leaving the place pitch black.

when the darkness remained for awhile, he began to feel worried. "gguk?" he called, afraid the younger had left him.

"are you still-"

he was interrupted by dim purple lights turning on, reflecting off a disco ball that was placed right above him. i was made for lovin you by kiss suddenly came blasting through the speakers, making taehyung smile like a child.

around 20 seconds into the song jeongguk came onto the rink, flashing taehyung a huge smile as he began lip-syncing the lyrics to him.

taehyung did it back, giggling when jeongguk began playing air guitar as they approached each other.

when the chorus came they had reached each other, interlacing their fingers and spinning and dancing around like idiots, all the while screaming the words to the song.

and when the song ended and the next one came on, they screamed and danced to that one too.
