Second Round (1/2)

Sungmin wasn’t sure if this is really happening. He wanted to pinch his arm to make sure it wasn’t one of those weird dreams he tended to have once in a while, but that would make him look weirder than he already thought he did in front of Yunho. He couldn’t even look at the man in the face, but Yunho seemed to be enjoying himself quite well, he was eating the food he ordered for them with gusto, with the occasional looking at him, leaving him nervous which wasn’t supposed to happen because this was just a friendly lunch. Right?

“I’m glad you agreed to go out with me today” Yunho said after a while, smiling as he drank from his glass. He was looking at him directly now. “I thought you wouldn’t answer my calls anymore when he came back from Taiwan. Honestly Min, that was scary”

Sungmin shook his head, “I was just busy with all the unpacking, I like to keep my things organized so I couldn’t just leave them” he answered “Why wouldn’t I? It’s been awhile since we had a friendly lunch. Thank you for inviting me”

“You don’t have to be so awkward you know” he teased “I can sense your nervousness all the way to my seat”

Sungmin blushed before he could stop himself “That obvious?”

Yunho nodded “We’re both actors Min, I can tell” he said “It was cute though. You could very well play the role of someone still going to school” he shook his head laughing.

“Yah!” Sungmin huffed at him, but smiled and eventually joined in laughing. He relaxed after that, and smiled at Yunho knowing that was the man’s aim for doing that. “Thanks, I needed that”

“Anytime, now shall we go somewhere?”

“Where?” Sungmin looked surprised, all he expected was lunch. Not that he made any plans but he was planning on unpacking Kyuhyun’s things from Taiwan too, because the spoiled brat of a roommate he has had no intention of unpacking himself. seriously Sungmin was sometimes a maid for him, not that he mind though, it felt oddly good that he could think Kyuhyun trusted him with his things.

“Just around, you’re not in a hurry right?” Yunho shrugged, “I wanted to walk around for a bit” since the man already brought him to a seaside restaurant where you could walk along the beach, Sungmin didn’t see why not, it looks…nice.

“Alright” he smiled.

Since it was high end restaurant, there weren’t much people to see them walking together. Sungmin loved the smell of the sea breeze, the feeling of the sand on his feet. Because of their always busy schedule being idols he rarely gets to do these kinds of things, it was relaxing, he liked it so much.

And he even gave up to the urge of playing in the sand. There were children playing there too, they asked him to help them with their sand castle, he looked at Yunho, who chuckle and nodded at him. Sungmin smiled widely as he went to play with them, making as much things with sand as they could all afternoon, while the DBSK leader smiled watching them from a close distance.

When Sungmin finally said goodbye to the children the sun was already setting, which was visible from where they stood. He gasps when he realized how much time he actually spent with the children. He turned to Yunho, ready to apologize for making him wait that long. “I-I’m sorry Yunho, I didn’t notice the time---”

“It’s fine” the man answered at once “I had fun watching you run around like you were one of those kids” he smiled “Besides, you ended up just in time”

“In time for what?”

“The sunset” he answered, pointing towards it. Sungmin gazed at the direction he was looking at, his lips forming a small ‘o’ at the amazing view.

“Wow…”

“it’s amazing isn’t it” Yunho asked looking at him. Sungmin nodded, wondering why he felt like the man wasn’t talking about the sunset at all. They watched until the sun had completely set and the stars were slowly lighting up the sky.

Yunho thanked Sungmin for spending the day with him. “Thanks Min, you’ve helped me a lot today”

“All I did was eat and play with children though”

“I needed it” he chuckled, leaving him even more confused “Let me keep that reason as a secret for now, okay?” he winked at Sungmin who huffed because he didn’t like it. he grinned and opened the door for him “Anyway, we should head back to you dorm. I think if we’ll be any more late I would be getting in trouble”
