Jisung felt incredibly happy. Chan sat next to him, Minho opposite him and Changbin was just about to tell Minho about how Jisung had slipped while dancing at one of their last concerts and landed on his butt.

With a sparkle in his eyes, Minho looked at him and couldn't hold back his laughter.

"That wasn't funny at all! That really had hurt!" Jisung murmured and pouted.

Chan grabbed his hand, but even he couldn't resist a grin.

"Well, come on, it really to looked hilarious," Chan said with a grin and stroked his thumb over the back of his hand.

Before Jisung could reciprocate, the dessert was brought and a piece of cheesecake was put in front of Jisung.

He glared at the others furiously, took his fork, skewered a piece of cheesecake and stuffed it into his cheeks.

"Have you ever noticed how cute Ji is when he eats?" Minho asked and looked at him lovingly.

Chan and Changbin looked up from their desserts and looked at Jisung, who suddenly blushed.

"Incredibly cute," Chan said and winked at Jisung, who blushed even more.

Changbin nodded in agreement, but was himself busy with his dessert.

"What do we do with the rest of the day?" Changbin asked after eating his dessert and leaned back happy.

They looked at each other a little perplexed.

"I would suggest going for a walk, but I really don't feel like it in the rain," said Chan.

"We could go to the arcade," Minho said thoughtfully.

"Do you think that's a good idea?" Jisung asked.

Minho shrugged his shoulders. "I don't know. But better than just sitting at home all day."

Chan and Changbin looked at each other undecided. They definitely didn't feel like just sitting at home, but the probability that they were recognized was not insignificant.

"I mean we can try. At lunchtime, there are usually not so many people there," Chan finally said hesitantly.

"That's true. Maybe we should take masks with us anyway," Changbin said.

So it was decided and together they left the restaurant. Normally they would have walked to the arcade, but in the pouring rain no one wanted to.

So they drove by car. Changbin drove, Chan sat in the passenger seat and was mysteriously busy with his phone. When Changbin's question why he didn't want to drive, he had only said he had something else to do.

Changbin, who suspected that it had something to do with the weekend trip, left him alone, while Jisung suspected that Chan was looking for engagement rings.

After getting out, Chan winked at Jisung and thus confirmed his assumption. He didn't have the slightest idea how Chan wanted to go shopping alone with him, but he was sure that the older one would also have a plan for this.

Smiling, he reached for Minho's hand.

With caps and masks as unrecognizable as possible, they entered the arcade and actually had more fun than expected. And this time, luck was on their side. None of the few people who were there recognized them.

Time flew by. And once again it turned out that Minho was damn good at playing games, Chan rather wasn't.

Just when it started to get fuller, Jisung was ready to go. He held a huge plushy caterpillar in his arms (Minho had to carry the end of it), which Minho had pulled out of the machine.

Chan ran sadly behind the two. He had no luck and hadn't won any.

"If you go to the car, I'll come right after. Have to go to the toilet," Changbin said and disappeared in that direction without waiting for the other's answer.

The three laboriously pushed their way through the crowd with the huge caterpillar and finally made it outside.

After Chan had helped to stuff the caterpillar to Minho and Jisung in the back seat (Jisung had refused to put it in the trunk), he sat down in the driver's seat and drummed impatiently on the steering wheel.

Changbin had been gone for what felt like an eternity and he started to worry. He shouldn't have let him go alone.

"Min, do you think I should check where he is?" Chan asked worriedly.

Minho frowned. "Give him another ten minutes, maybe it's just full."

Chan sighed and turned on music to distract himself. Which led Jisung to sing along the songs loudly and Chan actually only became more annoyed. Not that Jisung couldn't sing, but somehow his nerves couldn't stand it.

Just as Chan wanted to get out to look for Changbin, Jisung shouted "There he comes!"

And in fact, Changbin came running along the parking lot with a colorful, plushy something in his arms.

Panting, he opened the passenger door and squeezed himself into the car with the thing in his arms. Then he grinned at Chan and held it up to him. "Here baby, for you!"

Chan needed a moment to understand what had just happened.

"You didn't have to go to the toilet at all!?" he finally asked.

Changbin shook his head. "You looked so sad because you didn't get a plushy. However, it took me a while to win the thing."

Chan exhaled with relief and bent over to Changbin to kiss him, which was not so easy with the big plushy in the way.

"Thank you!"

"Can we finally go home now?" Jisung asked and yawned.

"We can," Chan said and drove off.

Finally back home, all four were very satisfied with how the day had gone. And also a little tired. They hadn't had so much action for what felt like ages.

Not surprisingly, although they were all hungry again, no one wanted to cook.

"We could just eat ramen," Jisung suggested and everyone nodded.

Together with Minho, Jisung went into the kitchen and prepared the ramen, while Chan and Changbin already made themselves comfortable in the living room.

Shortly after the two had sat down, Chan jumped up again and ran into the kitchen to Minho.

"Give me your lighter," he said to the younger one and held out his hand with a prompt.

Minho raised his eyebrows questioningly, pulled the lighter out of his trouser pocket and still gave it to Chan without asking.

Back in the living room, Chan lit the candles that were scattered everywhere and then snuggled up again to Changbin on the sofa.

"You softie," he said with a smile, bent over to him and kissed him.

Finally, Minho and Jisung came into the living room with the ramen and after Chan had chosen a movie, they happily ate their ramen.
