• Chapter Three •

Start from the beginning
                                        

Soobin looked at the ground at the sudden question and he chuckled nervously, "Oh, uh... my favorite anime is Ouran High School Host Club."

Now it was Yeonjun's turn to laugh, "What?! And you make fun of me for liking a romantic comedy?? Ouran is a romantic comedy too!"

Soobin then punched Yeonjun's shoulder lightly, "Oh, shush! It's really cute, and it truly shows real friendship, love, and actual real world problems people go through!" He said defensively, joining in with the laughter.

After a few minutes, the two finally calmed down. Their hardcore laughing had them both to fall on the ground wailing. This had caused people to stare at the two on the carpet with weird and confused gazes.

Yeonjun began to push himself off the ground and stretched out an arm for the dark headed boy to grab onto. After pulling him up, they exchanged smiles. Soobin then coughed lightly, a blush evident on his chubby cheeks as he began to walk, Yeonjun following close behind.

The intern was lead to different sections of the store dedicated to different animes. He geeked out about every inch of this store, taking pictures to send to his best friend later.

An hour had already past and Yeonjun drowned as he knew he didn't have too much time left. "My parents should be picking me up in about an hour..." He whined, swinging his limbs around playfully.

Soobin laughed and grabbed Yeonjun by the wrist once again, "Well, we have already seen this entire store. Let me show you somewhere that I absolutely love going to whenever we visit Tokyo!"

We? Who's we? Visit?
Is Soobin not from around here either?
He is speaking Korean after all...

Yeonjun was dragged a few blocks down to a small store on the corner of the street.

There was a pastel blue label on the gray ceiling labeled, "LOLA'S." It was very small and quiet. It didn't seem to be extremely busy at that hour. The door and windows were made out of glass. One of the windows had a hot pink cursive font underneath the name, writing out the word 'cupcakes.'

LOLA'S Cupcakes.

The interior was decorated with soft colors. The wall was made from tiles of all sorts of colors: white, pastel blue that matched the sign, yellow, and gray. There was small white tables scattered around the floor with matching gray and yellow seats. There were a few tall green plants dusted around the room.

Yeonjun looked around, taking in the view of the aesthetic. Soobin smiled softly at the shorter boy's actions, and waved him over to the glass windows which revealed the handcrafted cupcakes. He followed the male's orders, stepping up next to him and peering in.

"Wow... They're so beautiful." Yeonjun commented, examining the cupcakes.

They came in dozens of flavors and each cupcake had been decorated exquisitely and perfectly. Some of the flavors included: 'Tokyo Vanilla,' 'Blood Orange,' 'Pistachio Raspberry,' and "Royal Milk Tea.'

"They look good, right?!" Soobin exclaimed, a giant smile on his face. "I love it here."

As Soobin said that, a lady walked out from the labeled 'staff room.' "Soobin~! She began excitedly, "I see you brought your boyfriend today!"

Soobin's eyes widened and he began to blush, scratching the back of his neck uncomfortably. "Lola—! He's not—! I-I told you my boyfriend's name is Jungkook... This is Yeonjun. He is new to Tokyo, and I met him in Mandarake Shibuya!"

As Yeonjun watched the scene play out, he too extremely red, he noticed something was off about Soobin when he mentioned his boyfriend, however Soobin managed to play it off with a smile.
