"yeosang, that's not very nice!" they hear his mom say as she comes out from the living room to greet their guest "you must be seonghwa, i'm sorry about my son, that's his way of humor." she gives her son a glare before leading seonghwa further in the house 

yeosang had slipped away from their sight, silently going up the stairs so he can hide himself in his room as he feels his anxiousness grow, he closes the bedroom door behind him as he clutches his head in between his hands, leg bouncing as he sat on the edge of his bed

he was scared, he is scared of opening himself to a relationship again, he was scared that this is going to be another relationship that will end horribly, years of building himself up and seonghwa might be another reckoning.

he doesn't hear the knock on his door, as well as the soft footsteps coming in "hey yeo, are you okay?" he hears seonghwa's velvet-like voice yet yeosang can't bear to look at him 

"angel, come here." he feels the bed dip and seonghwa's arms pulling him close 

"your mom got worried and told me i'd find you here." he can feel how tense yeosang was in his hold and he tried to let go of him but the tight grip of the petite boy made him halt his actions 

"do you want me to keep holding you?" seonghwa got an indefinite answer because yeosang was shaking his head in the first place and then he was nodding

"how about we go downstairs so you can eat, and after that we can just hang out in your backyard so how about we get some fresh air." he suggests, he doesn't know what was going through yeosang's mind at the moment but it's better to take him outside rather than leave him in the stuffy room.

throughout the dinner, yeosang was starting to feel better again, he can see how much seonghwa was genuinely engaged in talking to his parents, whether it was about school, his majors, about music and even about yeosang. 

and the way he heard seonghwa talk about him was something he'd never heard before from previous relationships

the guitarist explained that no matter how difficult was it to even gain yeosang's name, he didn't mind because yeosang was worth the effort

even admitting to his parents that he thought yeosang was someone who was easy to get due to his reputation in school but he was deemed wrong when the literature student shot him down immediately

yeosang admits that it made him giggle a few times when seonghwa relayed the length of time that passed before he got yeosang's name. 

yeosang saw how much his parents warmed up to seonghwa, he bites his bottom lip as he digs his fingers into the palm of his hand as he thought to himself that perhaps it's time to step out of his safe haven and risk it for seonghwa.

after dinner, yeosang had invited seonghwa to go to the convenience store with him, he doesn't know what came over him but he just wanted to be alone with the musician.

seonghwa was admittedly surprised but accepted, even more so when he feels yeosang slip his hand in his while they were walking down the empty, narrow street but he doesn't say a word and just enjoys the moment.

"can i have some of yours?" seonghwa hears yeosang ask in a tiny voice while they sat in the tables outside the convenient store 

"my ice cream?" yeosang nodded, still grasping on to seonghwa's hand so the latter holds his ice cream cone towards yeosang who took a bite at the soft vanilla 

"i should have gotten vanilla," he pouts as he looks at his mint chocolate ice cream, only buying it out of curiosity but he regrets that decision "it taste like toothpaste." seonghwa chuckles and offers to exchange with him much to yeosang's happiness by the way he giggled 

"since i'm in your parents' good graces, may i take you out on a date when we get back to seoul?" seonghwa asks out of the blue, causing yeosang to choke on and cough a bit 

"y-you won't do anything to hurt me, right?" he was taken aback by the question but he smiles softly, squeezing yeosang's hand as a way of reassurance "i won't, i promise. we don't even have to go on a date right away, i'll wait until you're comfortable."
