"I'm sure your mom thinks we're crazy."

"But we have a point. I mean, think about it. What if we are just that...reincarnated versions of our uncles?"

Sunoo and Sunghoon sat in the living room of the latter's house, thinking about the earlier conversation.

"I think this is a lot to think about.", Sunoo replied.

"Well we will get our answers. All we need to do is hang out more."

"Is this your way of asking me out?"

"Maybe. That and Jake texted me this morning saying he had extra aquarium tickets for today."

"Today?"

"If you don't want to go, it's fine. I understand. After all, last night-"

"I'm okay now. As long as you're here."

Sunghoon blushed.

"You're cute when you blush."

"I'm going to look like a tomato in a few seconds if you keep complimenting me."

The two laughed.

Sunoo leaned over on Sunghoon's shoulder.

"I'm down for the aquarium. I want to see some sharks anyway."

"Why sharks?"

"They remind me of a certain scary looking boy on the swim team."

"Jake?"

"No, you."

"You think I'm scary?", Sunghoon asked pouting.

"Aww, you're cute when you pout too!"

"It kind of seems like we switched personalities. I'm supposed to be calling you cute 24/7. This is backwards."

"We just found out we may be the reincarnated versions of our uncles and me calling you cute is what's backwards?"

"You're right. Anyways, I'll text Jake and ask him to bring the tickets."

"I bet he's taking Heeseung."

"Oh for sure."

—————————————————————

Heeseung was stalking the cafeteria area, which was near the entrance on campus when he was approached by Jake.

"Ready for our date?"

"Shhhh, look over there."

Heeseung covered Jake's mouth, and they both looked towards one of the tables.

At the table sat Jay and Jungwon, with the younger laughing.

"They look so cute. We should play matchmaker.", Heeseung said.

"I wouldn't be myself if I wasn't playing matchmaker."

Jake held up two tickets.

Heeseung watched as he walked over to the table where Jay and Jungwon sat.

After a minute or two of conversation, Jake handed the tickets to Jay and came back over to Heeseung.

"So they're joining us?", Heeseung asked.

"Yep. But right now, we need to go bring these tickets to Sunoo and Sunghoon."

"Okay. Can we stop for breakfast though?"

"You didn't eat breakfast?"

"Well it's a long story. I got up 39 minutes late because I didn't hear my alarm."

"You need a louder alarm."

"I do."

—————————————————————

Jake and Heeseung soon arrived at Sunghoon's house.

The boys were greeted by Sunghoon's father, who was carrying their dog back inside like a suitcase.

"Come in boys.", he said, "The boyfriends are waiting."

"Boyfriends?", Heeseung asked.

"It's obvious. When I came home and saw them on the couch together I could tell."

Jake and Heeseung looked at each other and then followed the dad inside.

Sure enough, Sunoo and Sunghoon got up from the couch to greet them.

"Hey guys! Welcome.", Sunghoon said.

"Glad to be back in this house. Maybe I'll successfully rob you this time.", Jake said.

"No stealing, Mr. Sim!", Sunghoon's mom yelled from the kitchen.

"Dang, she got me."

The boys all laughed.

"Well, are we leaving now?", Sunoo asked.

"We can if you want. Maybe we can find good parking spots before it gets too busy.", Heeseung replied.

"Sounds good to me.", Sunghoon said.

Jake handed Sunghoon the tickets.

"Jay and Jungwon will be joining us later. I call this a triple date.", Jake said, winking at Heeseung.

"Sunoo let's get away from these people.", Heeseung replied.

Heeseung took Sunoo's hand and led him from the house.

Jake turned to Sunghoon.

"Everything alright? You look a little upset."

"I'm fine Jake. It's just...something on my mind that I'm not sure about."

"Well I'm here if you want to talk. Let's go, don't want to keep the boys waiting."

Sunghoon said goodbye to his parents and their sketchy dog before leaving with Jake.

"You know, I'm thinking of speeding things up today.", Jake said.

"How so? Going to try and make things official with Heeseung?"

"I don't have time to play games this year. How long before graduation? Not enough time to sugar coat things."

"I applaud your courage."

"I also suggest you take this opportunity with Sunoo."

"I don't know..."

"Sunghoon, you like him. He likes you. Obviously. So I vote you two go ahead and make it official before you graduate. Otherwise, someone else might swoop in and snatch him up."

Jake went to his car.

Sunghoon stood there for a second before going to his own car and driving off with Sunoo.

——————————————————————

The new aquarium had just opened in early 1993. Mark had been telling Haechan all about it, and was super excited to go.

It would be their first date in public, as Haechan was afraid to go outside a lot of the time, for fear he would run into one of his dads men.

"Baby, if they have a gift shop, I'm buying you a stuffed animal.", Mark said.

"Why?"

"Because! You deserve it for having the courage to come out with me."

"Mark you don't have to."

"Yes I do."

Mark put his arms around Haechan's waist.

"Because you're mine."

He gave Haechan a kiss on the cheek, making the younger shy.

They now held hands and began to walk into the aquarium, laughing when Mark almost fell.

Over 30 years later, Sunghoon and Sunoo arrive at the aquarium, pulling into a parking spot next to Jake and Heeseung.

"Sunoo, you okay?", Sunghoon asked.

"Yeah. Just...this place seems familiar."

"I got that feeling too."

The two looked at one another before getting out of the car.

Jake and Heeseung held hands, going inside first. Sunghoon and Sunoo opted to wait for Jay and Jungwon to arrive.

Sunoo stood staring at the building. Sunghoon noticed and stood behind him, putting his arms around his waist.

"You look adorable."

"Do I?"

"You do. But you're sad. Why?"

Sunoo turned around to face him.

"Have we been here before?"

Sunghoon's smile faded a bit, looking around. The sights and smells were familiar to him, although he was positive he had never been here before.

"Maybe...they came here. You think?"

Sunoo sighed.

"I'm starting to believe this reincarnation thing."

"Good. Because I have a feeling we're about to get all the proof we need."
