"Jeno, honey! Jaemin is here!" Mrs. Lee's voice soars throughout the peaceful house, calling for her son to greet the unexpected guest.

With fast footsteps, Jeno runs down to see a grinning Jaemin by the door as his mother seemed a little confused but happy to see the pink haired boy.

"We're heading off now, mom." He excuses themselves briefly, almost biting his lower lip to contain his excitement.

Mrs. Lee lifts a curious brow, smiling at them warmly. "All right, wherever you two go, be careful and contact me when you can."

Nodding at her words, Jaemin replies with very trustworthy of promises, thanking her for letting Jeno go with him.

Mrs. Lee knows where they are going, Jeno told her two days prior after his friends talked about this certain activity he thinks it would be fun to join in.

His grandparents, however have no clue. They will after he takes his leave, but he doesn't want to hear any of it right now and could ruin his mood before the fun even starts.

So he will save his worries for later, Mrs. Lee winking at him as they hear Jeno's grandma approaching the door. "Who's at the door, dear?"

Jeno takes Jaemin's hand in his and slowly pulls him away from the door, still managing to hear their faint voices as his grandma finally spots him not alone.

"Who's that boy with Jeno? And where are they going at this very sunny day?" Adjusting her glasses, trying to get a better look at the pink haired boy accompanying her grandson.

"Are they holding hands? Tsk!" Jeno brushes it all off, feeling Jaemin squeezing his hand lightly as they kept walking.

Honestly, he doesn't care if his mom would tell his grandparents the truth on who Jaemin is and where they are heading to.

Not anymore.

"That was brave of you, I'm proud, Acorn." Flashing a sweet smile to the ravenette boy.

"You're so lucky you're wearing a sweater right now, my grandma would've chased you with a stick if you exposed your tattoos." Jeno mutters in reply.

Chuckling, Jaemin muses at Jeno's puzzled look when they stop in front of a motorcycle.

Jaemin had parked it on a safe distance from Jeno's house. Or rather, from the boy's grandparents.

"Is– are we... Is this our ride to the lake?" Jeno stammers in confusion, yet when their eyes meet, Jaemin could see the visible glint of excitement filling his dark orbs.

"If you're comfortable, but if not we can take a cab instead–"

"Are you kidding?" Jeno muses, "fuck no! I wanna try this."

He of course doesn't know how to drive or even touched a motorcycle before, it's different with a bicycle.

However, there's this sudden feeling of adrenaline rushing through his body, wanting to experience this death ride his grandparents blabber about.

Jaemin smiles, giving his helmet to Jeno and climbing on his motorcycle. Helping the ravenette boy who mutters about being careful in case they tip over or something.

Laughing, Jaemin reassures him that he isn't one of those reckless drivers in a busy road. The only time he does that is when he's in an empty and secured field.

"Hold on tight, dollface." Soon feeling Jeno's arms snake around his middle, his cheek pressed against Jaemin's shoulder.

"Take me to where fun is."

"Fun is here darling, just taking you to another place to adventure with fun." Smiling, Jeno hugs him close as Jaemin drives off in a careful pace.

"I thought Jaemin was shitting around when he said you two are dating now and literally made out." Mark was the first person to bring up the topic, carrying the cooler with ease.

Jeno flushes, quietly chuckling as he shrugs his shoulders. "Yeah... He... He just– I don't know how to explain it correctly."

"He made things easier for you to talk about, like– he makes you feel safe and free." Mark words it out quite fondly.

Humming, Jeno's lips stretch out to a small smile. "He makes me feel a lot of things."

"Oohh~" wiggling his eyebrows as they stop where their table was set. The others were by the dock already, teasing each other on who goes in first.

Rolling his eyes, Jeno bumps his hip. "Not like– oh my goodness, shut up." Mark cackling at his blushing state, failing to deny as he feels so embarrassed.

"He makes me feel brave. Is what I meant earlier." He grumbles while arranging the table neatly.

Mark drapes an arm around his shoulder and tugs him to where the others are, "sure... Whatever you say, Jen. But just to clarify, it's nothing to be ashamed of. I mean– look at Hyuck!"

"I heard my name, what the fuck were you guys talking about me?" The said tanned male crosses his arms, glaring at the two.

"How you're usually horny these days after you and that Renjun kid met." Mark grins mischievously.

"Oh fuck off, you're just jealous I got laid."

"Speaking of that guy, why didn't you invite him to join us?" Jaemin asks out of curiosity.

Shrugging his shoulders, Donghyuck replies, "he's busy today, plus I didn't want to scare Jeno's virgin eyes."

"What?"

Snickering, Donghyuck reaches to pinch his cheek. "Ah, that's right. Our little Jeno is not caged up anymore."

"What the hell is that supposed to mean?" Jeno makes a face, Yangyang giggling at him.

Donghyuck only grins at him before glancing at Jaemin, "you know I was a little doubtful you were going to join us. So I'm very happy you're here."

"That's a half lie." Yangyang points out, wheezing. "Hyuck initially planned for us to skinny dip, hence why this place is secured and empty. We have it all to ourselves today."

"Wait– huh? Skinny dip... Is that...?"

Mark ruffles his hair, "yup, swimming together naked. It's pretty fun as long as everyone is okay with it, consent is highly needed."

Drowning out their loud voices as Donghyuck whines for them to hurry up already and get in the water, Jeno never would've thought he'd be brave and comfortable enough to agree to this.

"Let's do it." Hearing his sudden words, everyone turns to him flabbergasted. Jaemin mixed with concern, about to tell him the usual sweet shit that has Jeno falling for him even more.

"I wanna try it. And Hyuck planned this for us but changed last minute because of me."

"Jeno, you don't have to–"

"But I want to." Jeno cuts Yangyang off with a firm tone, "I actually want to try this... While I still have this adrenaline and confident feeling than ever."

They knew what he meant. Still, they were worried he might regret this later and feel ashamed of himself again.

As if sensing their thoughts, Jeno smiles at them faintly. "Guys, come on. I'm giving my full consent into this, I feel okay with us skinny dipping."

"No judgement, right?" He lilts as Mark soon smiles back.

"No judgement." Taking his clothes off, Mark was the first one to jump in the refreshing water. "Shit! It's cold."

"Me next!" Yangyang was in a fit of giggles, stumbling as he takes his last piece of clothing off while Donghyuck soon follows.

Jeno fumbles to untie the knot around his shorts, jolting in surprise when a pair of hands rest on top of his. "Jaem?"

"Just making sure if you're really okay with this, you know as much as I love seeing you like this. Being free and trying things, I don't want you to feel uncomfortable while doing them."

They both know how shocking it is for Jeno to agree and even do this, how it's already a big step into the wildside after two weeks of their incident in that peaceful field.

Jeno turns around in his arms, smiling prettily as he runs a hand on Jaemin's broad shoulder. "You heard me earlier, I'm very sure Jaem."

In a blink of an eye, they were all in the water splashing around while shrieking and giggling loudly.

The other three soon didn't pay attention to the couple, not noticing them swimming away, trying to find a place to hide themselves.

Impatient, they gave up a little bit later and occupied themselves with each other, lips connected as hands roamed on the other person's body.

A gasp escapes Jeno's lips when Jaemin pulled him closer, a leg between his clenching thighs before they started giggling for no reason.

"Shit– I feel so... I don't know how to explain it." Jeno repeats his words with Mark earlier.

"You don't have to, your actions speak for itself." Jaemin teases, snickering when Jeno muffles an upcoming moan as he hikes his leg up. "Sorry, Acorn."

Breathing more calmly a few seconds later, Jeno's hands roam over Jaemin's forearms, to his biceps and then to his chest. Examining each and every bit of his skin.

"You could've warned me, I didn't know you had a lot." He mumbles, a finger grazing across Jaemin's nipple.

"Is it bad?" Squeezing Jeno's waist in anticipation, he gets a shake in disagreement.

"I like 'em." Peering up to him through his wet lashes, Jeno asks. "Do they have meanings?"

"Of course, every single one." Jaemin happily replies, adjusting them more comfortably if that was possible.

"I won't tell them all, save the others for later." He winks, Jeno pouting cutely in return. "But I'll explain some."

"Cupid, because I'm a flirt but I do love real love." Jeno blushing from the intense gaze, listening carefully.

"Number Thirteen for my birthday."

"Butterflies for my freedom and development."

"The small broken heart, a reminder of my first heartbreak." Jaemin says lightly, "I've completely moved on now though."

Caressing Jeno's sides as he pecks his shoulder, trailing up to his neck. About to leave a small mark there, they both jolt when Yangyang shrieks.

"Mark you idiot! Our food!" Quickly getting out of the water to shoo the squirrels away.

Meanwhile, Donghyuck swims towards the couple, a teasing smirk painting his face. "You guys escalate things quickly."

Jeno gathers the courage to flip him off, hiding his face in the junction of Jaemin's neck. Hearing Donghyuck being dramatic, supposedly crying because he's proud of new Jeno.
