In the upstairs seating area at the pizza place, Seonghwa and Hongjoong sat in a small booth with a box of pizza before them. The ambience was set by little fairy lights lining the walls and a soft rumble of chatter surrounding them from the other people dining in.

Pulling his legs up and crossing them on the seat with his coat resting over him like a blanket, Hongjoong happily chewed away on his pizza as he waited for Seonghwa to return from getting water for them. The two had been sitting together chatting over their pizza for an hour or so, and Hongjoong couldn't help but feel bubbly inside. It had been a long time since he'd been on a date. But as far as dates went, pizza in a three star joint with average seating and boxes as plates, this had been probably the best date he'd been on.

Glancing up, Hongjoong smiled as he saw Seonghwa walking towards him with two bottles of water.

'Are you cold?' Seonghwa asked as he sat down. He immediately started shrugging his coat off, despite Hongjoong shaking his head.

'No no it's fine! O-Oh, you don't have to!'

Seonghwa slung it over his shoulders and then sat down beside him. 'It's fine.' Glancing out across the room, he gazed out the windows at the darkness outside. 'Winter's coming,' he murmured, more just to himself than anything else.

Hongjoong nodded, melting at the feeling of the warmth in the jacket over his shoulders and the thick scent that lined the fabric. 'Do you like winter?' he asked curiously.

Seonghwa shrugged. 'I don't mind. But I don't like summer.'

Hongjoong laughed, picking up his piece of pizza with bite marks in it. 'Same. It's gross and humid.' Glancing at Seonghwa, he bit his lip a little. 'Hey Hwa, this might be a little out of the blue, but, Yeosang mentioned something when he got home from his date or whatever it was.'

'Oh? What's that?' Seonghwa asked, turning to face him.

'He asked me about Mingi...'

Seonghwa frowned for a moment. 'Min? What about him?'

'Nothing specific. He just asked if I knew if he was okay... Did something happen?'

Hongjoong watched as Seonghwa's brows furrowed a little in thought, before a look of realisation crossed his face. 'Oh.'
