Work Text:

 

________

 

It's unusual for Minho to step into a dark and quiet apartment. Living with Jisung is colorful and loud; there was rarely a moment of quietness, not that he minds it. They've been dating for five years, having moved in together two years into their relationship and being engaged for the last six months. 

 

Shoes are scattered around their apartment, courtesy of the many nights Jisung just throws them shoes off first thing. Before he runs into Minho's arms and presses a kiss onto his lips, making both of them smile in the kiss.

 

"Sungie?" His voice halls through their apartment as he walks from room to room, trying to find any sign of the younger. Minho has memorized his fiancé's schedule by heart after more than two years of Jisung's work as a producer for JYP Entertainment.

 

His phone shows no notification of his fiancé. It makes him try to remember if they had any conversation he has forgotten. Maybe he had to stay longer at work or meet a friend, perhaps. Still, there's nothing. At least not that he remembers.

 

He turns around as soon as he hears the keys jingling in the lock, a smile on his face as he prepares himself to welcome his fiancé. "Uh, what are you doing here?" He raises his eyebrow as he is faced with Hyunjin, the younger wearing a smile on his face and Jisung's keys in his hands.

 

"Can't I visit my best friend?" Minho watches the blond-haired male like a hawk, unsure as to what to do with the situation. "Yeah, but you usually don't just burst in without a heads up." He holds his hand out for Hyunjin to hand him Jisung's key, still finding this whole situation weird.

 

"Why do you have his keys anyways?" He walks towards their living room, knowing Hyunjin will follow him anyways. "Why do you always have to question everything?" The blond throws himself on their couch, stretching his long legs out. "By the way, get dressed. We are leaving in ten minutes."

 

Min stares at the other, so many questions in his mind, but he refuses to have Hyunjin call him out on being a control freak; he's not. He's flexible and has no problem adjusting his evening plans for his friend.

 

"What should I wear?" Hyunjin looks up at him and halts in his movement for a second before he stands up and disappears into his and Jisung's bedroom; he hears rustling and other noises that make it very clear that his best friend is going through their closet.

 

"Mhmm, this." Tight leather jeans, a black shirt, and a plain brown flannel gets thrown into his hands, and Hyunjin smiles at him with satisfaction. "Now hurry. We don't want to keep them waiting."

 

There are still so many questions, but he knows it's better not to press any further, but still, his hands take hold of Hyunjin's wrist, making the blond-haired male standstill facing him. "Is Jisung alright?"

 

It's hard to miss how Hyunjin's eyes light up, "Yeah, he's fine." Minho always had liked the glow in his best friend's eyes even after they broke off; a mutual decision made almost seven years ago.

 

"Now hurry, or they will lose their patience." Hyunjin smiles at him before closing the door and leaving Minho alone to change his clothing.

 

His mind tried to come up with ideas why Hyunjin would kidnap him, not that things were awkward between them; they broke up years ago on a mutual decision. Since then, they always functioned as friends, and it was all that they needed.

 

After their breakup, Jisung was brought into his life. Minho has found himself falling in love deeper with every second he has spent with the younger, and Hyunjin has discovered his best match with Jeongin. A younger boy had grown into their hearts within seconds, and Minho has never seen Hyunjin as happy as he was with Jeongin, and that's all he wished for the younger.

 

He looks at himself in the mirror, checking out his reflection, unsure if he is wearing enough layers. The seasons are slowly changing, but the chilly nights still haven't quite left.

 

"Come on, Minho, we've got to go." Hyunjin's knuckles come in contact with the wooden door; before he peeks inside the room, smiling at Minho as he sees that the elder is dressed. He throws Minho's leather boots in his direction, watching as Minho slips into them with ease.

 

"Still not ready to tell me where we are going?" Hyunjin shakes his head, opening the door leaving Minho just enough time to close the door before he tugs him down the stairs into the streets. He sees Hyunjin's car, a small red car waiting for them right by the road. The car lights still shine and illuminate the street as the sun has started to set, painting a beautiful pink sky. 

 

"Stop asking questions. This is your surprise bachelor night. Enjoy it, baby." The last word was said with a mocking tone, resulting in Minho making gag noises; both boys laughed at their antics as they got seated in the red car, and Minho watched as Hyunjin started the car.

 

"You can choose the music if you want." Minho stares at the younger unsure if the latter is joking; Hyunjin never was one to share the aux cord, hating whenever someone plays a song that doesn't suit his moods. Still, he also knows that Hyunjin has been behaving quite weirdly since he has stepped into their room with Jisung's key. 

 

"Are you sure that you're not sick?" He eyes the long-haired male for a while, trying to find anything that gives him a hint as to where he will be lead to, but there's nothing but a teasing smile on Hyunjin's face, and it drives him crazy.

 

Minho takes out his phone and searches through the different contacts, only stopping once he finds the one of Jisung. Last contacted two hours ago, his fingers hovering over the keyboard, unsure what to type out. 

 

On one hand, he has heard from Hyunjin that Jisung was alright. And Minho trusts Hyunjin, but on the other hand, he needs to hear it from the younger. His fingers keep going over the message, trying to correct it to make it better. Still, he's unsure, unknowing about what to text the latter.

 

"Stop thinking about what to text Sungie and look outside, dumbass." Hyunjin's tone is light unchanging, and it's the first time Minho looks up and is met with the sight of the Han River as the sun goes down slowly. 

 

The location is all too familiar to him. It's where he and Jisung had their first date; he knows that they are less than a fifteen minutes walk away until he would be at their special place.

 

"Han River." He smiles at the thought of it, remembers the day vividly, also remembering the reason as to why the younger insisted on having their first official date here.

 

"Hyung, it needs to be at the Han River." Minho looks at the pouting male in front of him, questioning himself about how he ended up here /not that he minds it/"Why Sungie?" Minho is honestly curious; Jisung has never stopped to amaze him with his constant creativity. 

 

"My last name is Han, right?" He nods, his eyes on the younger, loving how excited the younger seemed to be. "So wouldn't it be nice to have a place that connects us?" Minho tries to hold back his laughter, seeing how serious the younger seemed to be, "It connects you, but I'm not a Han." He looks at the younger and can tell when it deems Jisung that he wasn't named Han instead Lee. 

 

"Oh right, but still can we go to the Han River." And it's what breaks the dam, laughter overcoming his body, shaking him from his shoulders to his toes. "Stop laughing. It's not funny." And the pout that is spotted on Jisung's mouth makes the whole scene just funnier. 

 

"You know, when I asked you out on a date and said we could plan it together, I meant that I don't care where we go, Sungie. We could go to the most boring museum or the loudest concert. I don't mind because as long as you are there with me, I have all I need." He smiles at the younger, enjoying how red Jisung turns at his words. 

 

"For someone that apparently isn't romantic at all, you're quite the charmer." Jisung smiles at him, and everything feels so easy and light at that very moment.

 

"You can step out now." Hyunjin turns towards him once he has halted the car, and Minho can feel the eyes on him, so he steps out of the car and takes a deep breath. He always had enjoyed the earthy smell that the River brings with him. 

 

"I'll give you your first and only clue that you will receive from me." Minho whips around his eyes, landing on Hyunjin that smiles at him, "Clue? What do you mean with a clue?" By the laugh that leaves Hyunjin's mouth, he looks as confused as he is. 

 

"This, my dear friend, is a bachelor scavenger hunt, and your goal is to find someone— more specifically, you need to find Jisung." 

 

Minho looks at his friend, trying to take in what he was just told, a scavenger hunt. "Okay, hit me with the hint." He smiles, knowing that Jisung was behind this, and something about the thought of his fiancé taking his time out of his already busy day to organize this makes his heartbeat a tad bit faster as he would allow it. 

 

"You're probably very familiar with the tree you had your first date beneath?" Minho nods; he would never forget that place, not within this lifetime. "You'll find different pictures hung upon it, and they will lead you to the next place. If you need any other hints or help, you're allowed to use my number one time. Once you found out the new hint, you should be able to put the pieces together. Someone will be waiting for you at that location and will hand you your next hint." Hyunjin smiles at him and leaves without any other indication making Minho wonder how he ended up in this current situation.

 

He walks towards the tree, passing other peoples; all of them too immersed in their own conversations to notice Minho, that is currently taking different pictures down from the tree. Once he has all the pictures, he looks at them carefully. A smile widening on his face as he sees Jisung's writing over them, circling different letters on the images. 

 

Some of the pictures look familiar to him, spotting pictures of them through the years. But there are also pictures of different locations and news articles, and so he takes the circling as a hint; it might be an address. He remembers Hyunjin saying that there's a location he has to find to get the next tip. He scans the different pictures starting to copy in all the various letters he has seen on his phone, trying to make sense of them.

 

Minho thinks and tries to fasten things up, knowing it shouldn't take him this long; he thinks about the different places he went with Jisung that are close enough for the younger to believe Minho can walk there. There are other restaurants they've visited downtown, all of them about twenty minutes from here, one only ten minutes. It was the restaurant they've ordered on the first night in their first shared apartment.

 

"What are you doing." Jisung's shrill laughter echoes through their new apartment. Filling the whole building up with instant comfort. "Uh? I'm trying to cook, isn't that obvious?" 

Minho turns around dumbfounded about what could make Jisung laugh so hysterically; maybe the younger has finally lost it. "With what will you cook?" 

The question is so simple, yet it makes him think further about why Jisung would even question him. "Pans? With what else?" He raises his eyebrow, eyes cast onto his boyfriend, who is still holding his belly as he continues to laugh. 

 

"The pans that are currently in our old apartment waiting to be brought here?" It takes about three seconds before he realizes it, and it makes Jisung laugh even louder. 

"Y-You forgot." Minho watches as his boyfriend collapses in a heap of giggles, making his heart all warm and soft. 

 

He takes the pictures smiling as he sees that indeed he has figured out the different letters spelling out the name of the dinner place, so with the knowledge of where he has to go, he starts to walk in the direction. His pace is fast as he skips from one leg to another leg, feeling at ease in the current environment, having spent many nights with Jisung walking towards the restaurant.

 

He's unsure as to what he expects when he steps into the dinner place. Maybe Jisung was smiling at him with his favorite dish already ordered. He does not expect to see Jisung's best friend /Felix/ smiling and waving at him. Minho walks up to the latter sitting next to Felix, looking at him, waiting for anything.

 

"You found it." His eyes don't leave Felix still trying to figure out how Jisung has organized all of this without him noticing or without any of his friends accidentally revealing it. "Yeah, I found it. What are we doing here?" The younger always was known for having a soft spot in their friend group, so if he can make someone break and spill out the secret, it would have to be Felix. 

 

"Uh, we are going to grab dinner so you won't starve. Jisung told me what your favorite is, so I already ordered it." Minho finds himself nodding, unsure as to what to say; Felix doesn't seem to be phased by his appearance.

 

"Thank you, Where is he, by the way?" Minho looks around, trying to catch a glimpse of the younger male but to no avail. The restaurant is empty save for them; the only person he spots is the waitress who is currently leaning against the bar, looking as bored as possible, picking her nails, and staring into the nothingness.

 

"Why are we here?" He knows he looks stupid, questioning their friends and Jisung even further, but he also knows that if Jisung wants to hold a scavenger hunt, Minho would never be one to stop the younger. He might whine and nag a little for the dramatics, but the thought of his fiancé finding joy in this makes him smile. 

 

"Because of the scavenger hunt, wasn't that clear?" Felix raises his eyebrow, acting as if he just asked the dumbest question, and he might have, but who is he to blame. Minho was prepared for a calm evening spent cuddled up to his fiancé and not chasing clues all over Seoul without knowing as to why, but the smile on Felix and Hyunjin's face keep the excitement going and knowing that he should trust his friends.

 

"I'm just curious why Jisung is throwing this for a bachelor party. I thought we might spend a night in with you guys and get drunk." Minho slurps a noodle carefully to not burn his mouth in the process. "Just accept it and let Jisungie woo you again." Waves of laughter erupt as Minho catches the failed wink that Felix tried to send his way.

 

"The noodles here are really amazing" Felix's cheeks are red as he mutters the sentence of him, and Minho has to stop himself from cooing at the younger. "They really are. It's mine's and Jisung's go-to place whenever we crave noodles." 

 

It doesn't take long until both of their plates are emptied, and Minho gets reminded as to why he's even here with Felix; the younger hands him an envelope, and before he could open it, the latter stands up puts on his coat, ready to leave Minho behind. "The same rules apply as for Hyunjin's hint. You will find the hints in the envelope, and if you need help, you're able to ring my phone once." Minho finds himself nodding and watches as Felix steps out of the dinner, leaving him once again alone to figure out the next hint.

 

114 meters tall, it's what he finds written in the envelope. It's Jisung's handwriting, and it's the only thing that the envelope holds. A slip of paper with the number 114 and makes his heart race. Jisung knows, like anyone else close to Minho, how much the older fears heights, and he knows the younger doesn't expect him to climb up a building. As much as he loves the younger, there are limits that he wouldn't wish to pass. 

 

Minho takes his phone out, searching for any building that could fit the range of being 114 meters tall, and there's one that matches perfectly, and his heart starts to sky rock again at the sole thought of the Seoul Tower.

 

When Minho and Jisung first started to date, Jisung had a date planned on the Seoul Tower, unknowing of the elder's fear of height. The younger was excited as he dragged the latter towards the tower, seeming to fail to notice the change in Minho's demeanor, the elder continually growing paler and quieter by the second.

 

Minho takes one glance up at the sky, and it makes his legs feel light, the Seoul Tower ranking over the whole city, leaving his body with fear. The cable station is right in front of him, and he remembers the first time Jisung has dragged him onto the ride.

 

He had a tight grip on the younger for the whole ride making Jisung questioning him in worry. "Are you scared of heights?" They are still floating above the ground, Minho's hands tightly around Jisung's arm. "A little?"

 

He sends the younger one a smile, even though it looks more of a grimace, "Why didn't you tell me?" Jisung turns himself completely, so he's facing Minho, his arms wrapped tightly around the elder's waist, grounding him. "You were so excited about this. I couldn't have taken that away from you." Jisung sends him a short smile and presses a soft kiss onto his cheek. 

"Dummy, I don't mind where we are going as long as we are going there together." He can feel how his cheeks start to turn red. "I love you." He smiles at Sungie, and for a second, he forgets that he is locked in a cable car at least sixty meters away from the ground because all he sees is Jisung smiling at him with the most beautiful smile.

 

He looks around, trying to find any hint at the cable car station, still hoping that Jisung won't make him go up there. Going with Jisung is one thing; it's easier to face his fear with the support of the younger, but alone isn't an option. 114 tall, he knows that it has to be the Seoul Tower, the last two places also were connected to memories of them, and so does the Seoul Tower hold memories of them. "Jisung, you must be kidding me." His hands go through his hair as he walks towards the cable car station, ready to purchase the ticket and kick his fiancé's ass.

 

"Excuse me, could I have one ticket for the Seoul Tower." He looks up, not being prepared to be met with the face of Seungmin, standing behind the glass of the purchasing boxes. "Hi." They hold eye contact for at least another minute as he tries to process that Seungmin is standing in front of him. "Uhm, hi, what are you doing here?"

 

The elder knows that this is all Jisung's doing, but still, he didn't expect the younger to go this far. "You didn't really think that Sungie would make you take the cable car." The laughter of Seungmin is light and airy, and it makes him smile at the younger. "In my defense, it's Jisung."

 

Seungmin starts to walk away from the cable car station, as he tries his best to stay at the same pace as the younger male. "This time, I have a hint but also a quiz you first have to solve before you get the hints." Minnie points at a blanket spread out under a cherry blossom tree, sitting right in the middle of it as Minho follows suit and sits across from him.

 

"I'll ask you three questions, and all you do need is to answer three of them correctly. If you fail to answer one question correctly, you'll get one hint less. "He shakes his head at his best friend, Seungmin smiling at him before he puts his poker face on again. "Are you ready?" The elder nods, eyes on his brunette friend. "Which place does Jisung want to get married at?" Laughter escapes his mouth, "Does he really think I don't know?" Seungmin's eyes are still on him, patiently waiting for his answer. 

 

"Alright, it's Australia. He said that if he needs to choose a place where it's allowed, he wants to do it where Felix and Chan were raised." He doesn't need to wait for Seungmin's confirmation to know he has passed the first question; they've already settled the date and location for their Wedding in Sydney.

 

Minho always loved listening to Jisung; it didn't matter if he talked about his favorite food, the new national geographic documentary he has watched, or the new song he wrote. Hearing the younger talk and listening about the things Sungie loved, the excitement that always seemed to broddle in the younger was one of the many things he loved about his fiancé.

 

"Next question; what's Jisung's dream location for your honeymoon?" He raises his eyebrow and looks at the younger, unsure Sungie has mentioned multiple places he would like to spend their honeymoon at. "Uhm, maybe Japan?" He can feel Minnie's glance at him, and he wonders if he got it right. Sungie has mentioned Japan a lot and has made it clear that he wants to spend some days there, but he has also said that he would like to spend some time in Malaysia.

 

"That's correct., The last question is, what does Jisung think should be the next step into your relationship?" It's the question that caught him off guard, it's not hard to spot the smile on Seungmin's face, and it makes him wonder as to what the answer is that is written on the paper that Minnie is currently holding. If you ask Minho, the next step would be their wedding, it's only four months away, but he feels as if the answer is too obvious. 

 

The seconds turn into minutes, and still, he tries to come up with an answer, wanting to guess it correctly. Jisung knows how competitive the elder gets, and he has probably known that Min would pass through the first question with ease. The second would be a game of guessing, but still, there is a fifty percent chance that he would get it right, and he did. Still, the third question really has him thinking carefully, going through the last conversations he had with Jisung trying to pick something up that could hint at the answer. 

 

They've talked about adopting cats, something he had always wanted since he was a small child. On the other hand, his parents weren't that fond of the idea and had waited for him to grow out of the phase of wanting a cat. But as Minho grew older, his wish only grew with him. Luckily Jisung was on board with the cat plans. Min could probably ask Jisung to let him adopt ten cats, and the younger would make it happen. As whipped as he is for the younger, Jisung is just as whipped for him.

 

"Do you need more time?" He looks up, seeing Seungmin waiting patiently for him to answer, knowing he has to wing this. There's no way to be hundred percent sure as to what Jisung's answer is. All Min can do is to guess it and hope that he gets it right, and even if he isn't going to guess it correctly, there are still two hints that he gets provided with. 

 

"Uhm, our wedding?" His palms are sweaty as he watches Seungmin's face as he reads over Jisung's answer, and just by looking at the younger, he knows he hasn't guessed it right, and it makes him wonder as to what Jisung has replied with. "Well, not quite. There's something he wants to do first before your wedding in a few months."

 

He finds himself accepting the two envelopes Seungmin hands him over. "The hints are there. You can always call me if you need help." Minnie smiles at him before he hugs him tightly, and it makes him feel warm all over, "I'm proud of you." And Minho knows that Seungmin isn't referring to the game; he has known Seungmin since his first day at college, the younger has faced all the hard times with him, had held him through his first heartbreak, has calmed him down after the first fight with Jisung, Seungmin was always there. 

He steps back and watches as the younger smiles at him before he turns around and leaves him with the two envelopes. As he opens them, he finds himself smiling as he sees a picture of him and Jisung at his graduation. He is holding a bouquet of white lilies, the one Jisung has bought him. He remembers how the younger man hugged him from behind, and as he turned around, he got a bouquet of flowers pressed into his face and a rambling Sungie repeating how proud he was of Min for completing college.

 

"Hyung, I'm so proud of you." Jisung presses a kiss onto his cheek, making him smile; he can feel the glances of his parents on them. Both his father and mother had found an instant liking in Jisung, and it's been almost one and a half years since he has been with the younger, and knowing his boyfriend is still stuck in college for another year makes him feel weird. 

"Thank you." 

 

Minho presses a soft kiss onto Jisung's lips, loving how the younger's cheek turn red, "For what?" He feels his heartbeat pick up as he is faced with Jisung staring at him, big brown eyes looking at him with so much love and adoration.

 

"For helping me get through the last year, helping me to get prepared for the finals." He wraps one of his arms around the younger's waist, tugging Sungie as close as possible, not caring about anyone watching them. 

 

"What for a boyfriend would I be if I wouldn't help you." His heart contracts painfully as he sees once again what for a kind soul Jisung is, always giving and never expecting to receive. "Still, you didn't have to give up your own free time to make your pretty boyfriend succeed.

Jisung smiles at his sentence and pats his lower back softly, "Well, I guess my pretty boyfriend is lucky to have such an amazing boyfriend." Min knows it's all a joke to Sungie, but deep down, he knows he is the luckiest to have Jisung, "I'm the luckiest." 

 

He presses one last kiss on top of Jisung's lips before he moves a little away, taking notice of his parents that are still waiting to finally take a picture with him.

 

The second envelope holds another paper, and as so many times tonight, he finds Jisung's handwriting on it. Come find me where the flowers bloom. He smiles, already picking up and typing in the flower shop's name; Arriate, a small flower shop and cafe merged into one in Hongdae he has been there often with Jisung, sometimes for the tea and the coffee. But there were other times where Jisung just wanted to spoil with a bouquet of flowers, knowing how much Minho loved them.

 

"Hyung, I have found the most adorable coffee store. You need to come here right now!" He finds himself shaking his head and chuckling at the excitement that radiates from his younger boyfriend. 

 

"Give me ten minutes and send me the address." He can hear Sungie cheer on the other side of the line, making him chuckle, and he can tell how Chan is watching him and shaking his head at Min. "You're so whipped." The words are whispered only meant to be heard by him, and as much as he wants to tell Chan that he is indeed not whipped for Jisung, he knows it would be a lie because he is incredibly whipped for the latter. 

 

So instead of denying the truth, he hangs up the phone and starts to pack his things, and smiles at the elder, "Yeah, I am." It makes both of them laugh, and Min bids his roommate goodbye before he finds himself walking towards the coffee shop that Jisung just had sent him the address to.

 

He smiles as he sees that the shop is still open for another thirty minutes, and it makes him pick up his pace, walking as quickly as possible unsure if he has to enter the store or if someone will be waiting for him, hopefully, Jisung. But as he walks towards the shop, it's not hard to spot the white-haired male, and a smile blooms on the latter's face as he seems to notice Minho. 

 

"Hyung, you made it." He smiles at Jeongin taking notice of the white lilies the younger is holding; he counts them, his smile growing as he sees that there are eight lilies. "Are these for me?" The youngest nods and puts the bouquet into Min's hands. "There are notes for you. You have to figure out as to where they lead you to."

 

His eyes start to light up as he opens the first note, being once again met with Sungie's handwriting; "Hyungie, remember our second date in your apartment back in college where you cooked for me?"  

 

Min chuckles lightly, remembering the time Jisung first visited his college dorm. Chan and Seungmin had teased him the whole day, both of them knowing Minho isn't one to invite people over to their dorm. He remembers how he had started to fret and beg his roommates to finally leave.

 

 "Chan, Minnie, please leave. He's arriving in about twenty minutes, and I still need to finish cooking." Chan snickers noticing quickly just how nervous he is. "Hyung, stop fretting. From what you've told us, Jisung seems to be quite fond of you. There's no need to be nervous." 

 

Seungmin pats his head before he presses a soft kiss onto his cheek, and under any circumstances, he would have made a snarky remark but right now, he had needed Seungmin's encouraging words, "Thanks." His friends send him one final smile before they leave him, knowing that Minho's date should be arriving any minute.

 

"Of course I remember." There's a smile on his face, and he catches the glance Jeongin sends him, a soft one, and he wonders as to when he has turned into such a big softie. Min opens the second paper, this one much shorter, just a few numbers scribbled on it, and he finds himself wondering if they are coordinates; he moves on to the next one holding the ones he has already opened.

 

"Hyung, I know you're probably wondering why you have found yourself in this scavenger hunt, and I know you hate not knowing what is going on. You've always been curious no matter what. But I hope that even if you have found yourself tonight traveling through the whole city that you still had fun in it. And I also hope you know that it's your own fault. You are the one that signed himself up to love me ;)."

 

He shakes his head, the smile on his face only growing. Knowing just how good Jisung seems to know him still baffles him even after all these years. "Something funny?" 

 

He looks up almost haven forgotten about Jeongin's presence Jisung has always had the power to let Minho forget everything around him and find himself endeared by Sungie. "No, nothing." 

 

He takes hold of the fourth letter finding another set of numbers, but this time it looks more as if it's a date, 21.01.2021 , he's not sure as to what it should mean, but he figures that he will later think about it and moves on to the fifth paper, 

 

"Hyung, remember when I had a presentation for college? I was really nervous, and even though you had your own classes, you still tried to calm me over texts as good as possible before you had enough and just packed your stuff and left without giving your teacher a proper explanation." 

 

As much as he hated the reminder of scared Jisung, he also knows that it was one of the shifts in their relationship; it had brought them closer, leading to one of their first proper conversations about their future. It had started as a distraction so Sungie could calm down, but they both know just how much the conversation had meant to both of them.

 

"When you're graduating, do you want to stay in Seoul?" Minho looks at his boyfriend, that is currently sitting next to him, his labored breath having calmed down immensely, and Sungie doesn't seem to be struggling with the anxious feeling anymore. There's a content smile on his face as he looks back towards Min. "Yeah, I couldn't imagine moving away again. As much as I have loved living in Malaysia, Seoul is home to me. It's where my friends and family live." 

 

He nods, knowing what he means; he couldn't think about moving away, at least not if Jisung is not with him. The thought scares him, he and Jisung have been dating for almost a year, and he's about to graduate and as much as the future scares him, losing Jisung scares him the most. 

 

"And if I'm honest, I don't think any place could feel like home if you weren't there." Min looks at the younger, his mind circulating trying to grasp what the younger just had said; Jisung always seems to surprise him. "I love you."

 

He feels like the words are not enough, no words are enough to ever express how much he loves the younger, so he moves closer and throws his arm over Jisung's shoulder and presses a gentle kiss onto the latter's forehead. 

 

"I love you so much." The following silence doesn't feel awkward, not when he's holding Jisung, gets to press kisses after kisses onto his boyfriend's face and being able to see Sungie's smile.

 

The sixth paper is once again relatively short, stating nothing more than orange and white, and he really finds himself wondering as to what his fiancé is up to. The date, color, and coordination don't seem to light up a spark, and Jeongin next to him just continues to laugh whenever he sees the confused face Minho spots. "Stop laughing, brat." 

 

Innie shakes his head and proceeds to give him the following note, "It's just cute how whipped you are." Min opens the letter but looks up before he reads it, "Says you the official simp of Hyunjin." He only starts to read when he sees the red flush on Jeongin's face, satisfied with making the younger shy. 

 

"Min, we are almost finished, and you've come so far. I'm really proud, especially knowing your lack of direction sense. I will never forget when you got us lost on our first vacation, but you didn't want to admit it, so you just continued to act as if you knew where we were." 

 

That memory was another he wouldn't be able to forget, at least not under Jisung's watchmaking sure to remember Min whenever the opportunity was presented. His whole family and friends had at least heard the story twice, if not more, and Sungie continues to tell it as if it's the funniest thing to happen. 

 

As much as he hates how whenever the younger starts to mention it again, his face seems to take on a red tint, he wouldn't make Sungie stop, not when it makes the younger almost cry from laughter.

 

"Are you sure we are going in the right direction?" He wipes his hand over his forehead, hating how sticky he feels due to his sweat. "Yeah, I'm sure." 

 

Min turns around, waiting for Sungie to catch up with the younger suffering just as much under the heat as he is. Different cars are driving next to them, and he knows they probably have already figured out that they are lost, tourists.

 

He always had loved spending family vacations in Thailand, so when the topic of his and Sungie's first vacation was brought up, it did not take a lot of convincing for him to make Jisung agree to travel to Thailand. 

 

Minho looks around, trying to find the hotel they resided in. "It seems like we are lost." He just shakes his head, not ready to give up and call a tuk-tuk; when they first decided to go to Thailand, he was confident to travel through the country, making it clear to Jisung that he could play the local guide. 

 

At least he thought he could do it, he had traveled to Thailand with his parents five times, and he had his fair share of experience, and if Minho is honest, impressing Jisung with that might have been his main goal, so he's not ready to give that up. 

 

"Min, let's just call a taxi. I'm hungry and tired." He looks at the younger male, who is currently spotting red cheeks, and as much as he wants to prove to Jisung that he knows his way around Bangkok, he doesn't want his boyfriend to overheat. "Okay, stay here."

 

Min moves the brown-haired male towards a tree, making sure he stands in the shadow before he jogs away in search of a tuk-tuk that could drive them to their hotel. 

It doesn't take long for one of the drivers to stop and look at him, and he tries his best to communicate with his broken English, but it seemed to have worked as he finds himself seated on the back of the tuk-tuk driving towards the direction where he had left Sungie. 

 

"Stop here." He waves at his boyfriend, and Jisung runs towards him, sitting right next to him and enjoying the cool breeze as the tuk-tuk starts to speed towards the opposite direction they were going. "We were so lost." He nods and lets Sungie press a soft kiss onto his cheek, "My local guide."

 

"One more whipped smile, and I'm out of here." He looks up, seeing Jeongin already offering a new note, he takes it laughing as Jeongin makes throw-up noises, but he can tell that the younger one is happy for him. The last letter as well only holds a name in it, one he hasn't heard before. "Soonie."

 

Min isn't really sure as to what the hint should be; neither orange and white nor the date or the name makes any sense to him, but he still has the coordinates that he can search up, so he does that under the watchful eyes of Jeongin, that seems to enjoy this a little too much. 

 "You like to see me this clueless, don't you?" 

 

The white-haired male nods fast, not even trying to object, "I do, you're never clueless, so this is the first." Min pinches the other's cheek making the youngest groan quietly. Innie peeks at his phone, seeing that Min has already put in the coordinates. "So I take that you know where to go?" 

 

He smiles, and before the younger can tell him he has only one phone call to use, he opens his mouth and says, "I know one chance to call you, and that's it, you're the fourth person that told me that tonight."  He sends him a cheeky smile before he walks away in one hand, his bouquet of flowers in the other his phone.

It doesn't take him long to arrive at the coordinates, and as he is faced with a photo booth, the smile he has been wearing almost the whole night reappears once again. There have been multiple occasions where he took pictures with Jisung in one of those photo booths, some of them he carries in his wallet while the others are in Sungie's wallet.

 

He opens the curtain, a squeal escaping his mouth as he sees someone already being in there. "God, stop screaming." Min looks up again as he hears the familiar voice of Changbin. "You startled me."

 

Min holds one of his hands over his chest, feeling how fast his heart is currently racing, "You were the one pulling the curtain open like a maniac." He raises his eyebrow, ready to argue, but he gets reminded why he is here as he spots the picture that Changbin is holding. 

 

He quickly rips it out of the younger's hold, his thumbs carefully caressing it. It's one of the first pictures of Jisung and him that they took in one of those boots. It was on their way home when they spotted the boot, it was almost hidden away, but Sungie noticed it and dragged Minho there within a second.

 

"Baby, stop tugging my arm. I'm coming." Jisung jumps up and down in excitement as they are both in front of the photobooth. "We have to take pictures. Come on." The brown-haired male pushes them inside and on the chair, not giving Minho a chance to decline it, already pressing different buttons and putting money in it.

 

"Pose bubs." The first shot had been hilarious, a smiling Jisung and a wide-eyed Minho staring into the lens. "Do something, Hyung." He moves out of his frozen statue and wraps an arm around his boyfriend's waist, and presses a sloppy kiss onto Sungie's cheek. 

 

"That was wet!" The younger's face turns into a disgusted grimace, making him giggle, "You told me to do something." His fingers take hold of Jisung's chin, making the latter face him. He barely notices the light flashing again as he presses his lips against the plump ones of Jisung.

 

Minho's lips move against the other's, chasing the sweet taste of raspberry. Jisung's lips are warm against his as they move in sync; in the back of his mind, he tells himself to separate from the younger. 

 

The pictures are already finished being taken, but the lips of his boyfriends are intoxicating as they keep moving against his. "You're amazing." He leans his forehead against Sungie's one and just observes the younger, loving how red his cheeks are and how the latter's brown eyes seem to be glowing right now.

 

"You're so beautiful." He presses one last kiss onto Sungie's ear shell before he helps his boyfriend out of the booth, waiting for the pictures to be developed. His hands take hold of Jisung's waist as the younger leans against his chest. 

 

"I love you, Min." He can feel his heartbeat fastening, something it always does when it comes to Jisung. 

"I love you, Jiji." He presses a short onto Sungie's nape, feeling content as they still wait for their pictures.

 

"Are you even listening?" He raises his eyebrow as he looks at Changbin, who had apparently been talking to him. "Sorry, I zoned out." He scratches his neck, letting Changbin explain the rules once again.

 

"Also, Jisung said we should open the hint together." This raises interest in Minho, unsure as to why the rules suddenly seem to change. "Alright, then open it up."

 

He takes a seat on the photobooth chair, his thigh pressing against Changbin's thigh, both of them focusing on the content of the letter.

 

"Hyung , you're almost there, so before you hopefully succeed in finding me, I thought, why don't I give it a twist. As you might have seen, Binnie has our picture, so I thought wouldn't it be fun for you to recreate it with him? You don't need to recreate the kissing one; therefore, be creative for that one, but the other's should be the same so have fun at reliving such precious memories ;)."

 

"He did not just." Min takes hold of the pictures scanning through them. The first one is relatively easy a smiling Jisung and a wide-eyed Minho. The second one is with him wrapping an arm around Sungie and pressing a kiss onto his cheek, the third one is still the same, but Jisung's face has morphed into one of disgust, and the last one is the one with the kiss. "He did." 

 

To his pleasure, Changbin looks just as annoyed as he is, and it makes him want to laugh because annoyed Changbin has always been one of his favorite things, and he knows that Sungie knows that. 

 

"Let's just get it over with Bin." He shows the latter the pictures, both of them trying to memorize it knowing that they don't want to have a second go at it. "I think I got it. What about you?" The younger nods as he pushes the money into the machine slit. 

 

The countdown begins as he goes into his first potion, trying to look as shocked as possible, the camera showing him that Changbin next to him is smiling his widest smile possible.

 

As soon as the first flash goes off, he moves his arm, so he holds onto Changbin's waist and presses a wet kiss onto his friend's cheek. Changbin still holds the smile until the second flash has gone off, then automatically turning his face into one of disgust.

 

For the last picture, he moves Changbin on his lap as smoothly as possible, both of them laughing as they stick out their tongue onto the camera. "This will only be seen by Jisung, right?" Changbin turns around in his lap so that they are eye to eye. "I hope so. It would be a little embarrassing to let it be seen by anyone else." 

 

They pick out the picture as soon as it is developed, laughing at their sight, the pictures looking oddly familiar to his and Jisung. But the whole vibe is different. Something about Changbin and his just makes him laugh.

 

"So what now?" Minho looks at his friend expectantly, knowing that there is still Chan left. But to his surprise, the eldest of their group is on the other side of the street waving with enthusiasm. "Come, Min!" He hugs Bin one last time before he rushes towards his best friend. 

 

He hasn't seen the blond male for quite some time, his friend being kept busy with work. Chan wraps his arms tightly around it, and for once, he lets the latter hug him, not squirming away as he usually does, and also chooses to not comment on the I missed you that the elder has whispered into their embrace.

 

"Did you like it tonight?" He looks at Chan, waiting for a hint, but nothing is coming, so he just starts to follow the latter, walking next to him as they pass different shops, the moon already shining from high up in the sky. "Yeah, It was weird but also funny going through the different memories of Jisung and me." 

 

He scratches his neck, unsure how to explain the feeling he had felt through the past few hours, somehow feeling even closer to his fiancé. "It's kind of insane if you think about it. You've been dating him for five years. I still remember when you first entered our college dorm and how you made it very clear that a Hyunjin was your first and last boyfriend." Both of them start to laugh at the memory. 

 

He remembers the time; he was hundred percent sure that Hyunjin was the one back then, but little did he know that someone like Jisung was waiting for him, showing him how it feels to be loved.

 

Minho will forever be grateful for Hyunjin, having found one of his best friends in the younger. However, to this day, it's still funny to him how he has confused platonic feelings into romantic feelings and being so sure about Hyunjin being the one for him.

 

"Stop bringing up the dark past." He slaps the elder softly, both of them still chuckling at the thought of it. "Rather want me to talk about the many times you nagged about me because of Jisung?" Min can feel his cheeks heating up, knowing that Chan has seen all the embarrassing sides of him. 

 

"You're evil, Chan, just evil." He shakes his head, not really minding where they are going, enjoying not having to think about it for once, not having to solve a riddle before getting to know where he should be heading towards. 

 

"Are you excited to see your family again?" This time it's him that studies the face of his friend. It's not a secret that Chan and Felix had been missing their family, all of them still residing in Sydney. 

 

"Yeah, I still can't believe that you're getting married there. I know you haven't made the decision because of Felix and me, but still, I'm so thankful. It's been almost two years since I've last seen them." Minho nods at that. He has always been a family-centered person, so not being able to see your family for about two years seems horrible to him. 

 

Of course, it has been his and Jisung's decision to get married in Sydney, and if they hadn't found the city beautiful, they wouldn't have made it their wedding location but another reason for them choosing that city was that they both know just how much their friends have been missing their home.

 

"You know, Felix, and you were partly a reason for us to choose the destination. Jisung and I both know you've been missing Sydney a lot recently, so we thought why not combine it." Chan's smile is almost blinding as he thanks him not before throwing his arm over Minho's shoulder and continuing to walk in one direction.

 

"I can't wait to see your reaction." He raises his eyebrow, unsure as to what Chan means with that, but before he can ask the elder, he notices the red cat, Hyunjin's car. "Why are we back here?"

 

The Han river hasn't changed much over the last few hours, there are fewer people, and he can see his ex-boyfriend seated in a car, a smile on Hyunjin's face as he waves at them. "I think you know where you have to go." Chan pats his back before he gets into Jinnie's car, both of them leaving Minho alone, his heart beating faster than at any point of tonight.

 

His mouth gets drier with every step. He gets closer towards their tree, wondering as to what will be awaiting him. He doesn't need his glasses to recognize the silhouette standing under the tree, Jisung's back facing him. 

 

It's funny how the whole night, he has wanted to embrace Jisung in his arms but now that he has the option, he suddenly grows nervous. His step faltering as he gets closer, the younger still not have taken notice of him.

 

Min stands still only a few meters away from the latter, and he smiles as he hears Jisung talking to himself. "Don't be nervous." He takes another step, his hands reaching out for his fiancé. 

 

"Hi, baby." Jisung turns around, looking at Minho with a huge smile on his face. "You've made it." He nods at that, eyes still on the latter taking in the beauty of his fiancé. 

 

The younger's hair was dyed a beautiful blue, and he was wearing a white turtleneck and a black-blue flannel over it, skinny black jeans, and his converse. "You look pretty." 

 

He tugs the younger one closer as he places his hands on each side of Jisung's waist. "So do you." The younger presses a kiss onto his lips. "Did you like it?" He nods, still trying to wrap his mind about what Jisung had prepared for him. 

 

"I loved it." He knows it's not much, but the younger one has always known that Minho struggles with expressing himself with words instead of showing it with small gestures.

 

"I'm glad you did. I still have one last surprise, though. Remember the hints that you weren't able to figure out. Orange and white, 21.01.2021 and Soonie?" He nods, curious about what Jisung has planned now, it's nothing new that his fiancé likes surprising people he loves, but still, he always seems to exceed any expectations.

 

"Yeah, I remember. They were weird. I tried to make sense of them, but I couldn't really add it up to anything." He looks at the boy in his arms and waits for Jisung to explain further.

 

"Well, there's almost no way you could have figured it out, but I wanted to put it into this scavenger hunt as somewhat a prize or more a present." He nods, still holding Jisung close, "Weren't you my present?" He presses a short kiss onto his lips, loving how Jisung's chest vibrates as he laughs.

 

"But you get me every day." His smile only grows at that because it's true Jisung always comes home to him. "And? Doesn't make you any less special." Min loves the pink tint that seems to grow more evident on Jisung's cheek.

 

"Then let's say you get two presents. One is me, and the second one is connected to the hints." He lets go of Jisung's waist, a smile still present. "Sounds better."

 

"But before I can give you the present who is currently waiting at home. I thought we could have a midnight picnic." Jisung sits down, leaving space for Minho right next to him, and it's the first time he takes notice of the strawberries filled with chocolate that lay in front of them on a blanket.

 

"You really went out of your way for this one." He sits right next to Jisung and takes a strawberry holding it in front of Jisung's mouth, waiting until the younger takes a bite before he bits into it, holding a moan back at the fantastic sweet taste. "This is perfection. Wow, where did you get those?" 

 

He takes another one swallowing it down with one big bite. "Actually, Felix made them." Min raises his eyebrow at that, it's not a secret that Jisung's best friend was a gifted baker, but this has exceeded anything he had tried from the younger again. "Those are amazing." 

 

He eyes the last strawberry carefully, taking hold of it and putting it in front of Jisung's mouth again, but the younger just shakes his head. "Take it, Hyung." 

 

He hesitates for a second, not wanting to take it away from the other, but Jisung just shakes his head again, only stopping when he sees the strawberry being placed in Minho's mouth. 

 

They stay seated for another while, not talking, just enjoying each other's presence. It has been a long, especially without Jisung so just sitting next to each other, one arm wrapped around his fiancé as they watch the stars illuminating the night sky of Seoul.

 

"Are you ready to leave?" He nods, helping Jisung up and carrying the blanket, it's not far away from their apartment, but he doesn't mind it when Jisung walks towards the parked cars revealing their car waiting for them. "You really thought of everything, didn't you?"

 

Jisung opens the passenger door for him before he walks around and gets seated in the driver's seat. "I think you deserve a ride home after walking through Seoul the past few hours." Min holds Jisung's hand that is not placed on the driving wheel, looking outside and enjoying the night view. 

 

Only a few people are still walking outside, and most of the lights in the houses they pass are turned off. It's something after midnight, and still, he doesn't feel tired. The biggest part of him feels giddy, nervous as to what Jisung's surprise will be.

 

The radio hums a soft tune as they continue to drive, getting closer with every minute, and it's not hard for him to know that any minute they will be arriving at their apartment complex.

 

"You really surprised me today. I didn't think this would happen at all. I mean, of course, I was curious because you didn't want to tell me our bachelor's party plans, but I expected a lot, not this." Jisung laughs lightly at that, looking at Min for a second before he faces the street again. 

 

"I've been planning this right after I proposed to you. I wanted to make it special, to remind you of our moments." There's a slight smile on Sungie's face that is barely visible because of the darkness, but he still sees it, and it has to be one of the most beautiful things he has laid eyes on

 

The younger parks the car as they arrive in front of their apartment. "It felt like going through a time machine stopping on different places that hold different memories." Neither one of them stand up, both of them facing each other, soft smiles on their faces.

 

"That was my plan. I still can't believe that we are getting married, Min." The smile only grows more significant at the mention of their wedding, even after six months of being engaged to the younger. 

 

"You know when we are finally married, we can go to the Han river and recreate our first date." They both start to laugh, not being able to stay composed at the thought of little Jisung thinking about how the Han river connects them. "Shut Up." His fiancé laughs even louder as he almost kneels overhand on his stomach. 

 

"You're the worst." The insults Jisung throws at him only make him laugh more. "You still love me." He looks at the latter, loving how Jisung laughs with his whole body. "Yeah, I do." His heart feeling ridiculously warm with such a simple confession, Jisung always is able to make him feel like this. As if he is a teenage boy that just has fallen in love for the first time. 

 

"Let's get going. The surprise shouldn't wait any longer. He raises his eyebrow, following his fiancé as they make their way towards their apartment, hand in hand. 

 

Jisung lets go of his hand as they stand in front of their door, one hand holding his phone recording him. "Are you really recording me?" He raises his eyebrow, considering just not entering the apartment suddenly getting scared again.

 

"Yeah, let me. I'm excited about your reaction." Sungie nods towards the door waiting until Minho opens it, the camera still pointed at him as he takes the first step into their apartment. There's nothing particularly that catches his eyes, everything the same as he had left it when he first stepped out with Hyunjin.

 

He steps closer towards the living room, almost not hearing it, but it still is loud enough to catch his attention. Minho spins around facing his fiancé, and he looks at him, shocked. "You did not." He gapes at the other before he looks for it. Following the sound that he occasionally hears leads him into their bedroom.

 

There are tears in his eyes as he sets sights on the cat, orange white fur, and the most beautiful green eyes staring right at him. "Her name is Soonie." It's the last thing he hears before he walks towards the little bundle of joy, being careful to not scare her away.

 

"You're so pretty." He holds his hand out so that the cat can sniff at him and get used to his scent, but it doesn't take more than ten seconds before the cat pushes his head against his palm. His smile only grows more prominent as he starts to softly pet the cat, falling in love within seconds.

 

"You like that?" He continues to scratch behind Soonie's ear, the cat's purring only growing louder, feeding his heart's content. "I told you he would fall in love with you." Minho turns around, smiling as he sees his fiancé next to him and petting the cat.

 

"How could I not look at her? She's so pretty." His finger still scratches the cat's ear as Jisung nuzzles closer to him, pressing a long kiss onto his chest. "I love you, Min." He entirely turns around, his fingers moving away from the cat and finding its place on Jisung's wrist. 

 

"Thank you so much." He pulls the younger as close as possible, pressing a kiss onto Jisung's nose, loving how he crinkles his nose at the gesture. "I love you, Jiji." Both of them smile at each other, feeling content within their new small family.

 

________

 

His palms are sweaty, and it doesn't matter how many times Chan tells him that there is no need to be worried, that everything is settled. His heart refuses to calm down, beating rapidly at a fast pace. 

 

Minho's mouth feels dry, and it makes it hard to swallow. "Min, stop worrying. There's nothing you should fret about." Seungmin places his hands on the elder's cheek, making sure that Min faces him.

 

It's not hard to tell that Minho is beyond nervous only a few minutes away from walking down the aisle, getting married to Jisung. "What if he left?" 

 

The palms of Minnie feel cold against his overheated cheek. He eyes the younger male, watching Chan behind them, who has set his eyes on them. "Do you really think Sungie would leave without you?"

 

He shakes his head, knowing that even if he's shitless scared to walk down the aisle and being faced with no one, he wouldn't have to go through that. Jisung will be there.

 

Jisung had been so thrilled for this day, constantly talking about it. His heart seems to calm down a little with the thought of the younger being a room away, getting dressed for their special night.

 

"He wouldn't leave." The spoken words reassured him even more as he looked up, being met with Seungmin's eyes on him. "Exactly, he would never leave you." This time it's Chan that speaks out, one of his hands squeezing Minho's knees reassuringly. 

 

There's still a tiny part of him that feels like he needs to puke, but with the reassuring smiles and pats, the amount decreases with every second. "Thank you." The faces of his best friends seem to light up, seeing how he had started to relax again. 

 

A knock makes him look up; the wooden door has been close shut since the early morning hours. The only people entering and leaving were his close friends and family. Still, most of them had already visited him and sent him some encouraging words, so he's unsure as to who would reach out thirty minutes before the ceremony.

 

Chan stands up and opens the door with one swift move revealing none other than Hyunjin. The younger is dressed in a black suit. His hair isn't the same ash blond anymore; instead, a pink that suits him quite well, hair still the same length just ending a little above his shoulder.

 

"I thought I could steal the groom for a second." The pink-haired male smiles at Seungmin and Chan, closing the door as both of them step out, leaving Minho and Hyunjin alone. The latter walks towards Min, sitting down next to him. 

 

"Are you nervous?" Hyunjin bites his lips, and it's probably at that moment the younger notices how stupid that question must have been–of course, he's nervous. "Yeah, it still feels kind of surreal." Minho catches the eyes of Hyunjin, and it's all he needs to kill the last remaining piece of nervousness.

 

"It is surreal. I still remember the time when we first broke up, and then a few weeks after we met Jeongin and Jisung and just were head over heels." There's a content smile on both of their faces, reminding them of the old days when they first started developing feelings for their partners.

 

"Do you plan on proposing to Innie?" He observes the younger one; it's not a secret that for Hyunjin, Jeongin is the one. The pink-haired male has mentioned multiple times that he sees his future with Jeongin and all of their friends know that it's rather sooner than later until they will be the ones handing out wedding invitations.

 

"Yeah, I've been planning it for quite a while, but I wanted to wait until after your wedding." Jinnie's cheek takes on a red blush, and it makes Min smile, seeing how happy the other looks. "I'm sure Innie will say yes." 

 

Hyunjin looks outside, seeming to think about something, and he lets him not wanting to pressure him. He hadn't had to face the nervousness that comes with planning a proposal; Jisung was the one that got down on one knee and asked him.

 

"I know that he will say yes. I'm almost hundred percent sure, but still, my mind keeps coming up with different scenarios where he will refuse to accept the proposal." One of Minho's thumbs softly caresses the back of Hyunjin's hand, trying to show the latter that he is here.

 

"I get that, but we know just as much as we are whipped for them, they are just as whipped for us." The sentence is simple, but it makes the younger one smile at him, Hyunjin's eyes holding the same glow he has fallen in love with, and until this day, he loves to see it–the passion in Jin's eye.

 

"We are so whipped." Hyunjin takes both of his hands in his, both males staying like this for a few minutes. Only their breathing is left heard, but it's all Minho needs. The minutes seem to pass by in seconds, and before they know, Seungmin and Chan are back in the room, ushering them to get up.

 

"Come on, Min, you don't want to arrive too late at your own wedding." It's what makes him snap up and move at speed light towards the door, almost forgetting to wait for Seungmin and Chan. "Hey, where do you intend to go without your best man's?" 

 

He stops in his tracks, Hyunjin leaving first, moving towards his assigned seat. Next up is Chan and Seungmin, both of them standing on one of his sides. Min could hear the music play, one of Jisung's favorite songs; it made him smile knowing that the younger had insisted on having this song be a part of this night. 

 

"Are you ready?" He nods, letting both of his best friends lead him towards his fiancé, soon to be husband. His smile only continues to grow as he first sets eyes on Jisung. 

 

He looks so beautiful, standing there, the sun setting in the background highlighting his fiancé's face with all different golden tones. Jisung's beauty makes him feel breathless.

 

________

 

The sun has already set, and the sky has taken on a dark blue tint, only the stars and the moon illuminating the night sky. Fairy lights are hanging from the trees, lighting up the tables they are seated at.

 

His left hand is placed on Jisung's left thigh. Meanwhile, his right hand is on the table, showcasing the beautiful wedding band that has been stuck there for the last hour. 

 

A smile blooms on his face each time Minho sees the identical ring on Jisung's right hand. The food has already been served, and most of their guests are just waiting for them to open up the dance floor with the first dance, something Jisung had insisted on doing, knowing how much Min loves to dance.

 

"Want to go now?" The words are whispered quietly; he turns around, facing his husband, a smile on his face. Jisung's cheeks showcasing a red tint, which has been that color the whole night.

 

Min nods, standing up first, holding his hand out for Jisung to take, and starts to lead his husband towards the empty dance floor. It's not big, just enough to fit all of their guests. Chan's garden had deemed itself perfect for their wedding, capturing a beautiful view of the sea of Sydney.

 

He places his hands on Jisung's waist, his eyes on the younger as his husband moves his arms, so they hang loosely around his neck. 

 

The first keys of She keep me warm starts to play, and his cheek hurts from how much he smiles. 

 

She says I smell like safety and home

I named both of her eyes forever and please-don't-go

 

He sways him and Jisung over the dance floor, eyes never leaving the younger. Minho places his forehead against Sungie's. "Are you happy?" 

 

I could be a morning sunrise all the time, all the time, yeah

This could be good, this could be good

 

Minho studies the younger, carefully overthinking his words because he's happy and has never felt this happy, and he wants Jisung to know just how happy he is.

 

I can't change, even if I tried

Even if I wanted to

And I can't change, even if I tried

Even if I wanted to

 

Minho had always struggled with finding the right words to tell Jisung just how happy he is, but right now, at this moment, he will try his best to make the younger understand that happiness comes in the form of Jisung. 

 

My love, my love, my love, my love

She keeps me warm

She keeps me warm

 

More people are filling in onto the dance floors, but his eyes never leave Jisung's. The latter's eyes seem to hold all the answers in this world, at least for him.

 

What's your middle name?

Do you hate your job?

Do you fall in love too easily?

What's your favorite word?

 

"Jisung, you are what happiness is to me. You're my form of happiness." He presses a kiss onto the latter's forehead, taking a deep breath.

 

Do you like kissing girls?

Can I call you, baby?

Yeah, yeah

 

"You're my everything, baby, since the first day I laid my eyes on you. You caught me off guard. Wrapping me around your finger and making me want to know more about you. Know everything about you." He pulls Jisung as close as possible as he sways them from side to side.

 

She says that people stare

'Cause we look so good together

Yeah, yeah, yeah

 

With one hand, he lets go of Jisung's waist, placing it on the younger's cheek. "You are my home Sungie, my home with Soonie. The place I feel most comfortable at." 

 

I can't change, even if I tried

Even if I wanted to

And I can't change, even if I tried

Even if I wanted to

 

The words keep leaving his mouth, and he's not even sure if they make sense anymore, but Jisung stares at him with tears in his eyes, and it makes him want to give his husband the whole world.

 

My love, my love, my love, my love

She keeps me warm

She keeps me warm

She keeps me warm

She keeps me warm

 

"I sometimes find myself wondering how I've ended up here. Because this Jiji is all, I ever wished for. Waking up every day next to you has been my wish, and here we are." He strokes the tears on Jisung's cheek away, pressing a kiss onto the younger's nose.

 

I'm not crying on Sundays (love is patient, love is kind)

I'm not crying on Sundays

I'm not crying on Sundays (love is patient, love is kind)

No, oh

 

"You've always been so patient with me, baby. No matter what. If it was the kids at the studio testing my patience or college. You always waited for me and supported me. You make me the happiest." Tears are falling from his eyes, both of them crying, not caring about the looks their friends give them.

 

My love, my love, my love, my love

She keeps me warm

She keeps me warm

 

He moves towards Jisung's lips, gazing at the younger before closing the distance between and his husband. Sunnie's lips melted against his, so soft and warm. 

 

Their lips moving in sync, only ending the kiss as the hollers around them grow louder, and he could swear he hears Changbin say that they should get a room, and there's a smile on his face.

 

"You keep me warm, Jisung." The younger smiles at him, slapping his chest lightly before he hides his face into Min's chest.

 

"You weren't supposed to make me cry." He lets Jisung hide in his chest, wrapping his arms tightly around the younger. The song's last keys were being played, and he had never felt this content, this warm.

 

Jisung keeps him warm.
