"Where are you going?" Jeno almost jumps on the spot as he passes by his older sister's respective bedroom, not realizing she has her door opened due to house cleaning.

He turns around to look at her and shrugs his shoulders, "I honestly don't know..." He mumbles, trailing off.

"Ha?" Yeeun knits her eyebrows together, creasing her forehead. "You're all dressed up but you don't know where you're going?"

"Yeah..."

"What kind of bullshit, are you hearing this Aeri?" She gives a look at one of their house maids who's cleaning her bookshelves and gets a chuckle in return.

"Are you at least going with someone?" She tilts her head to the side, dropping her magazine on her lap with the said object opened on a random page.

"Uh yeah, Jaemin hyung actually said he's taking me somewhere today... But he also said it's a surprise that I'll hopefully like, so I don't really know what to wear." Jeno pouts.

His older sister snickers at him whining about Jaemin and today's plan, the elder boy should've said where they're supposedly heading to or even gave a small hint so Jeno would know the dress code.

But unfortunately for him, Jaemin kept quiet, teasing him by pretending he didn't hear any of Jeno's complaints.

So here Jeno is now, wearing nothing but a casual attire hoping the place Jaemin is taking him to isn't that far from his dress code, like a beach.

"Well, you look great!" Yeeun compliments him to brighten up his thoughts. "Don't worry about the surprise place he's taking you to, it will be his fault anyway." She giggles.

Jeno rolls his eyes at her silliness, then hearing his phone ringing, taking it out of his pocket to see Jaemin's name on the screen.

Accepting it mindlessly, he bites his lower lip as he begins to talk to the elder boy, greeting him kindly up until Jaemin then asks about his whereabouts.

He widens his eyes as Yeeun ushers him to go meet the elder boy right away, "don't make him wait and decide to cancel it." She said.

Jeno nods frantically at her and answers Jaemin's question with a breathless, "be there in about five minutes, err– if that's okay. Are you rushing? I can–"

"Hey, calm down." Jaemin chuckles through the phone, the sound manages to send chills up Jeno's spine without him really knowing.

"Take as much time as you need, I'll wait here for you, yeah?" He reassures.

"Y-yeah, okay... I'm... I'm already done anyway," Jeno said, a little bit embarrassed for being a few minutes late now.

He was too caught up on what to wear for today's meet up with Jaemin that he didn't pay attention to the clock ticking.

Sort of ironic since he's usually up early and ready to go for school, but a meet up with Jaemin, he's a little bit unprepared.

"I'll see you soon?"

"Mhmm."

"Be careful on your way, I'm out of my car just in case." And with that, they both said their temporary goodbyes and ended the phone call.

Running his palms flat on his shirt to smoothen it out, he hears a bit of Yeeun's words when he rushes down the stairs.

"Have fun! Call me if anything!"

"Hope this isn't too underwhelming, I understand if this place sucks." Jaemin scratches his nape, sheepishly so as he leads Jeno to the front of the arcade.

Jeno who was busy staring at the place, the huge letters glowing brightly in the color yellow (blinding his eyes) above the wide entrance, raises a brow at Jaemin when he turns to look at him, confused.

"Why would you say that?"

"Well, I did tease you about today's plans and said it was surprise. Surprises are supposed to be spectacular, but... I gave you this."

"I still appreciate it, just because it isn't something spectacular or expensive doesn't mean I wouldn't like it." Jeno said with his lips frowning.

Jaemin's face lightens up at his words, clearing his throat as he stretches out his hand. "Which game do you want to play first?"

And in a blink of an eye, Jeno's grabbing his hand and rushing inside the arcade full of games and people. The place almost looked like a disco due to the colorful lights around.

"Do you have a prize in mind?" Jeno perks up at Jaemin's words, looking away from the zombie shooting game they came across.

Pondering in thought with a drawled out hum, he glances towards the place which is located at the center in the arcade where the prizes were at.

Double checking, he shrugs his shoulders and replies, "my goal is that cute elephant plushie."

"That one?" Jaemin briefly points to the said elephant plushie displayed on one of the shelves.

"Yeah, it's the last one." Jeno happily answers.

Nodding off, Jaemin held up his index finger, signaling for Jeno to wait. "Give me a minute, go ahead and play some more games, okay? I need to use the bathroom."

Before Jeno could even utter a word out, Jaemin's already gone. Shrugging his shoulders, he looks around for a fun game to play and distract himself whilst Jaemin's out.

"I thought you said–" Jeno sighs deeply as he shifts his gaze from Jaemin to the object the latter was holding.

"You should've told me, I could've tried winning this with you." He pouts.

Jaemin snorts and hands out the plushie, "maybe next time?" He winks, getting Jeno to avert his gaze with his cheeks turning beetroot red despite the neon lights flashing his face.

"Why did you do this, hyung?" Jeno ends up whining, still not taking or even laying a finger on the cute and soft object.

"Why wouldn't I do this? It's what you should do on a date, right?"

"A what?!" Jeno shrieks, thankfully it was muffled for others due to the sounds of different types of games.

"A date. Oh yeah, the actual surprise is this is a date. This whole time." Jaemin practically grins at Jeno's shocked reaction.

The blond haired boy was so flustered, he didn't have anything to say for a couple of seconds before he suddenly stomps Jaemin's foot.

"Ouch!"

"You should've at least gave me a hint! Now look at me, I'm not dressed up for this!" He whines, grumbling about with his arms crossed.

Jaemin could only cackle before taking Jeno in his arms, surprising the younger boy even more as his breath hitched from the gesture.

"Sorry to give you such a stressful day, your outfit and all these surprises." Jaemin mumbles and slightly pulls away to meet Jeno's wide eyes.

"But I truly hope you've at least enjoyed a few parts of today's date." He said, glancing at the plushie in his hand.

Jeno regains his composure and purses his lips, "I did, actually." He shyly admits, peering up at Jaemin through his bangs.

"Thanks for this, Jaemin hyung." He shyly and still hesitates to take the plushie that was given and not to mention won for him.

"No wonder you were being all competitive." He brings up with a light giggle.

Jaemin shrugs his shoulders as he doesn't dare to mention their position right now with his hands still resting on Jeno's slim waist.

"I had to make sure you will bring home something from me, like a gift or a souvenir." He said, almost as if he had practiced that.

Well, he did. Yuta advised him to do that.

"Well, thank you." Jeno smiles widely at him, eyes turning into crescent moons. "Today has been filled with a lot of surprises from you, hyung." He compliments.

Jaemin nods at him in return as a thankful gesture, "I hope they were good ones," he jokes about that has Jeno rolling his eyes.

He then tugs on the raven haired boy's shirt. "But I'm kind of hungry now..." He shyly confesses out of the blue.

"Where do you want to eat?" Before Jeno could answer him, Jaemin then adds on, "but remember our deal, I'm paying." He smirks triumphantly.

The blond haired boy could only sigh as he mumbles out his choice of place, biting back a smile when he finally realizes their distance with Jaemin's arm around him.
