Hoseok's POV
Today was finally the day. My date with Taemin. The day after we met again which was a little over a week ago the big agreed that today would be a good time to go out together, it being his day off.
Right now I'm currently debating on what I should wear. "Should it be casual or fancy? Where should I even take the smaller boy? I want to impress him.... but something tells me that I should just be me." I was mumbling while trying to get my life together.
"I got it, I'll take him to my favorite park." This park was a place I grew up at. My parents were never home so I pretty much lived at the small place.
"So I think dressing causal would be a good idea" I threw in a mustard yellow T-shirt with some light blue jeans which holy knees. "Perfect" I say checking my appearance one last time before leaving my place.
The smaller gave me his address so I could pick him up. He was also the one that suggested that we spend at least a couple hours together, so we could get to know more about one another . He is very bold which I like.
Of course when he suggested this I agreed rapidly not wanting to miss this chance. Currently it is 6pm, so I texted the smaller and let him know that I'm on my way.
When i turn on the block of his house I slow down the car, and take a deep breath. At the moment upon my arrival at the boys house I decided it would only be right if I went to go knock on the door to get him.
That's what a gentleman would do right?
Pulling myself out of the car I start moving in the direction of the white door that has the letters LT in big letters on the door . A familiar voice brought my attention back to the door.
"Finally you're here" the big says with a smile. "I have been excited to see you all day." The boy finishes walking out of the comfy looking house.
He walks to meet me in the middle of the sidewalk and puts his hand in mine. "Shall we?" He says in a playful tone.
All that I could do was smile at him while embracing his small hand in mine. Once we reached the car I opened the door for him with my free hand. The boy then let's go of me and gets inside the vehicle.
Hurriedly I close the door and scramble to the other side of the vehicle, almost tripping while trying to hurry.
On the ride we both kept small conversations not wanting to spoil too much about ourselves just yet.
We were almost at the restaurant that I often eat at. They don't do takeout orders, but since I am a regular they have always made an exception.
I reached over the middle console and grabbed ahold of the smaller hand. The boy smirked at me while slowly placing my hand on his thigh.
He then places his small hand on mine and gave it a small squeeze. This gesture has me m edge the rest of the way to the building.
Luckily the boy didn't act awkward and just kept causal conversation. Of course he wouldn't act awkward he is the one who did this.
Upon arrival the boy gave me a questioning glance. "I've been here before" he says pointing at the building. "We are going to get some takeout, and then I want to take you somewhere special. Is that okay??"
"Sounds romantic." The boy says stepping out of the vehicle. We both walked inside and when the staff recognized me they gave us menus and once they were taken away the hostess told us to wait at a table while the food was being prepared.
Shortly the food arrived in two white bags, I grabbed both while escorting the big fo my car.
"So where are we going?" The boy asks when we were driving for about 10 minutes. "Somewhere that's special to me" I replied smiling while his hand was in mine.
Soon enough we pulled up to the small park which was luckily empty. The boy didn't say anything he only kept a smile on his face.
I led the way to a big tree that stood alone next to the playground. We both sat down on the soft fresh grass, and I placed the food in between us.
"I know this isn't fancy or anything. I wanted to impress you... but something in me says to show you the real me. And welp this is the real me." I raised my hands up and waved them in every direction.
The boy says nothing which was making me slightly nervous. Trying to hide my nervousness I started removing the food from the bags.
The smaller let out a loud sigh. "I have never met someone like you before." The boy says reaching for his chopsticks.
Swiftly I hand them over. Our hands brushed and a wave of electricity shot through my body.
Trying to ignore the rush that passed through me I asked "What do you mean." Chorus to see what the smaller would say.
"You never tried to impress me with fancy gifts or fancy restaurants. You are the first person who wanted to know more about who I AM and whose willing to share things they find special with me."
The boy was taking small bites from his food every once in a while pointing the chopsticks at me while continuing "When we first met i had a feeling you were different, the reason I had this "hunch" was because you asked to get a drink with me and asked about what kind of person I am.". The boy stopped wasting and turned his gaze to me.
"No one has ever treated me the way you have, and that's including the people I've dated."
The sodden confession the smaller was among suprised me "Taemin, I don't see you as a pretty object to be won over. Deep down I can tell you want someone to love you."
"Through these very few weeks that I've known you the thing that came to my attention was how you out on a front. You act tough around most people and when they won't leave you alone you act flirty so they can go away." The smaller was staring at me in disbelief. His eyes were searching around in mine trying to see if there was a hint of a lie in the words I have spoken to him.
"You're not just a pretty face, yes, when I first saw got i thought you were very good looking. But when our eyes met for that first time all I could see and feel was loneliness."
As soon as I stopped talking the smaller pulled me into a hug. He squeezed me tightly with his small frame, his pointy chin on my shoulder.
"Thank you" he whispered.
"Anything for you" I replied.
It was then he broke the hug and I noticed how he had a small blush evident.
"Well shall we get to know more about each other?" He asks picking up his chopsticks and feeding me a piece.
"Yes we shall" i said with the food still in my mouth.
Me and the boy spent the remainder of the day under that tree. Even when it was getting dark out we continued talking and laughing.
Over the past couple hours I've found out that the boy has 2 sibling. An older sister and younger brother, he was 22 which was of course older than me. Which he did not look.
The boy grew up with a nice accepting family and had many different boyfriends and girlfriends, whom has only traded him as an object.
He was also fluent in Japanese which I found undoubtedly attractive.
Me on the other hand upon telling him about my childhood he felt sorry. I told him how my parent were never home and that's the reason this park is so special to me. Also I told him that technically I never came out as bisexual to my parents since they were rarely around.
The boy felt bad for me which I didn't want him too. But he started to lighten up when I told him about my friends Jim and Namjoon and how Jin treated me like his own son.
After getting to know the basics about each other which included childhoods, hobbies, and things we liked & disliked we laid side by side under the big beautiful tree.
Since it was dark we were going t have to leave soon, but I could sense that neither of us wanted too.
Sadly the boy said "Well it's late and i really have to work tomorrow." He turned his face to me "Well I'll drop you off at home."
The entire car ride was silent, but we did hold hands. When pulling up to his small but nice house the boy let go of my hand and pulled me into another one of his tight and warm hugs.
"Thank you again" the boy says. He gets out of the car and waved at me.
Rolling down the window I wave back and just then he half yells. "I look forward to the next time we do our together." The older then blew a kiss at bun and walked inside.
My heart was beating out of my chest. I couldn't believe the boy was real and not apart of my imagination.
I drove off smiling like an idiot at the amazing person who just entered my life unexpectedly.
