Wooyoung got back to working again, it isn't usually a busy day for them but there seems to be less people today than any other day. From behind the counter, Wooyoung snapped his head towards the door when he heard it ring. He waved at seeing the familiar black-haired that he grew familiar of. He stopped his movements when seeing the bouquet on cradled on his arms.

"It's for you." Seonghwa blushed, giving the bouquet at the unmoving Wooyoung. The other bit his lips, placing the bouquet at the counted to snap his finger in front of his face. "Um... Woo?"

"Oh... Uh, thank you so much!" Wooyoung is flustered, picking the bouquet carefully and examining it with a smile on his face. Seonghwa shifted on his feet and coughed to gain Wooyoung's attention.

"Can I- Can I take you on a date?" Seonghwa stammered out, rubbing the back of his neck. Wooyoung have a light pink flushed on his cheeks at hearing the question.

"Yes! His answer is definitely yes!" Wooyoung blushed further at the chaotic duo watching the scene unfold before them. 

Jongho and Yeosang is one of the audiences watching the interaction between them. "Why can't you be romantic like that?" Yeosang pouted, returning his gaze towards Jongho.

"I don't want to be that awkward." Jongho answered him, focusing back on his boyfriend. Yeosang covered his lips to stifle his laughter, "Even if I don't, I'll always show you more better things." He winked at Yeosang, only to receive a harsh slap on his arm. 

Wooyoung let out a chuckle, nodding at Seonghwa. The other beamed at him, "I'll pick you up at 6." He excitedly said, waving at Wooyoung before sprinting out to the door.

"Whipped." He heard Jongho say, Wooyoung turned at the duo who both have smirks on their faces. Wooyoung shifted in his feet, face turning red again.

"You need to dress up!" Yunho stood up on his feet and pulled Wooyoung towards the exit.

"My job-"

"I'll take care of it, there's not much people anyways." Yunho cut him off of at any objections.

"It's not even near 6. I still have a few hours, you guys seems to be more excited then me." Wooyoung complained, stomping on his feet like a child. Mingi and Yunho swung their arm over Wooyoung's shoulder, an evil glint on their faces.

"You're going shopping." Yunho began, "With Mingi."

"I don't have money to buy stuff-"

"Don't worry about the money, Woo. You deserve to have your clothes. Make it seem like it's a gift from me." Yunho insisted, "Now go, you'll need a lot of time for that." He shooed both of them out. 

"You agreed to using his money?" Wooyoung asked when they started to walk their way towards the shop.

"No, I tried to argue with him as well. I bought my own money too, it's for you." Mingi smiled at him.

"You don't have to do this for me."

"We want to. Don't worry, Hongjoong-hyung and Seonghwa-hyung spoiled me when I started dating Hwanwoong." Wooyoung stopped in his tracks, looking at Mingi. "We didn't end up together. We thought that it would be best to stay as friends. I totally agree with him too, my life's still a mess." Mingi chuckled, dragging Wooyoung when he spotted the familiar store.'

"Let's go an try out this clothes on you. I want you to impress Seonghwa-hyung tonight."

*~*~*~*

Seonghwa nervously waited by the window seat. It was about 5:30 when he have arrived and he could hear Yunho and Mingi having to dress Wooyoung up. Seonghwa knew he was too early to even have arrived but he is both excited and nervous. 

"Ta-da!" Seonghwa heard Yunho and Mingi shout, Seonghwa turned his head to take a look at Wooyoung. His jaw dropped, admiring Wooyoung's clothes before darting up to see the blush covering Wooyoung's face.

Wooyoung reacted the same way at Seonghwa, when the older of the two stood up from his seat to take strides towards Wooyoung. His eyes followed Seonghwa, blushing further when he saw Seonghwa smirk at him.

"You look really good." Seonghwa commented, "Shall we go?" He offered a hand towards Wooyoung which he gladly took with a smile blooming on his face. Both of them walked outside, hand-in-hand as they hear the others cheering for them and waving at them goodbye.

"They're so embarrassing." Wooyoung still had the pink flush on his cheeks while Seonghwa lead them to a car. He opened the door at the passenger seat for Wooyoung and closed it when Wooyoung entered. He entered the car, and started the engine. 

"I know." Seonghwa chuckled, driving off towards their destination. "I've been through much worse." Wooyoung laughed, letting the sound of the radio fill in their awkward silent.

"I didn't know you had a car." Wooyoung started the conversation.

"I actually just borrowed it from a friend of mine," He sheepishly smiled at Wooyoung, taking his eyes off the road for a second to glance at Wooyoung. A few minutes of driving, Seonghwa parked in front of a fancy restaurant that Wooyoung felt a little bit intimidated by it.

"Let's go." Seonghwa said upon opening the passenger's door. Wooyoung climbed out and looked towards the restaurant. Both of them walked towards the door and is met by a waiter.

"Greetings, do you have a reservation?" 

"Yes. Park Seonghwa." The waiter checked the list then nodded at them.

"Please follow me." Both of them walked towards a table that is rather secluded from everyone else. Wooyoung could feel relief at knowing that no one would bother them, or judge them at all. Seonghwa pulled up a chair and let Wooyoung sit before he sat down on the other side.

"Pick anything you like." He told Wooyoung, "Don't worry about how much it will cost. You deserve it." Wooyoung pursed his lips, hiding another blush on his face using the menu. He could feel his heart warm at that, and he is very thankful for everything that have happened to him. 

After they placed their orders, the waiter left them alone to chat. "I'm not usually good at dating, it's my first time on date so I hope you don't mind that I don't really know what I'm doing." Seonghwa confessed, Wooyoung let out a laugh and shook his head at Seonghwa.

"It's not that bad, I just didn't expect you to bring me here." Silence once again fell upon them, "I can't handle the silence." Wooyoung said leaning back on his chair. "What do  you do?"

"It's not much but I do music." Seonghwa rubbed the back of his neck, "It's not that awesome, I know."

"No, no. It's great actually. I love listening to music, you should show me your masterpieces some day." He quickly dismissed Seonghwa's negativity, "I aim to be a dancer. I used to learn dancing at school but..." 

"Dancing is really nice." Seonghwa pulled Wooyoung away from the past, "I used to dance too."

The waiter came back with their orders. While eating, they talked once again. Coming back to the times when they first met and how stupid they were for not exchanging names before. They talked about what they wish to have in the future, and told funny stories about each other.

Seonghwa walked out of the restaurant, Wooyoung grabbed his arm that made Seonghwa look back at him. "Thank you for the dinner, Hwa." Seonghwa could feel his heart swell at Wooyoung's shy smile adorning his face, "It's been really nice."

"I'm not done yet." Seonghwa stopped Wooyoung, intertwining their fingers together and pulling Wooyoung gently to start walking. "I feel so connected to you. I want you to know me better. I trust you enough to show you this." He said, Wooyoung tilted his head when the trees started to surround them away empty streets.

"I'm not going to say the cliche lines that I read before in books, but are you going to kill me and leave my body here?" 

"Most likely." Wooyoung pushed Seonghwa lightly and slapped his arm. 

"Very funny." They stopped in front of a small warehouse. Wooyoung examined it, his head turning to Seonghwa to question him about it.

"It's abandoned, it became my hiding spot." Seonghwa toured Wooyoung inside and told him how he used to have a bestfriend that would dance with him on the very studio.

"Used to?" Wooyoung asked, Seonghwa frowned stopping his movements.

"He committed suicide last year." Seonghwa forced a smile out,  Wooyoung walked up to him and hugged him on the back. "He didn't leave any letter... He didn't show any type of pain and sadness when we're together. He never told me that he was suffering." He let the tears fall freely, staring down at his feet. "He just disappeared, and the next day I found out through a phone call..."

"The people at the cafe... Hongjoong, Yunho and Mingi, they used to be my friends before I moved to another country after it. I left, I removed any contacts in here. I haven't fully moved on, but I wanted so badly to go back here. To remember how it used to feel."

"Yunho mentioned that before... That's why the three of them was excited to see you." 

"Yeah..." Seonghwa weakly smiled, Wooyoung picked him up and cradled him on his chest. "San is such an idiot... but I'm sure he's happy that he's finally free." Wooyoung stiffened when he heard the familiar name reach his ear.

"Wha-What's his name again?" Seonghwa buried his head on Wooyoung's chest, completely oblivious of how Wooyoung is acting.

"San, Choi San. He always visited the cafe, I introduced him before to the three. Pretty sure that he is also friends with the couple. I always see him with the two of them." Wooyoung clenched his jaw to keep himself from bursting out into tears. "San always looked on the positive side of life, that's why all of us were shocked when we received the news." Seonghwa wiped his tears, "He always do stupid things." He bitterly laughed, Wooyoung wrapped his arms tightly around Seonghwa.

"I'm sure he's really happy up there now." Wooyoung bit his lips, closing his eyes tightly.
