The boys' lazy day indeed ends up being really lazy. They eat, listen to music, watch few videos, but mostly they just talk since they have a lot to talk about after not talking to each for few weeks straight.
Time flies as they both really enjoy themselves. They don't even notice the day turning to night before Wonwoo's mom returns back home from work. They're playing a board game they used to play almost daily. The board game is spread on the living room floor, Wonwoo and Mingyu bending over the board, completely concentrated on the game.
The boys don't seem to notice her right away, and so she stops for a moment to appreciate the sight in front of her. It looks so comfortable, the boys talking and laughing at each other's jokes, just like they used to do a while back. It calms her so much to see that Wonwoo is smiling truly. She didn't even know how much she had missed that smile of his.
She's actually pretty surprised to see Mingyu still there. It isn't the first time Mingyu has spent the whole day hanging out at their place, but it just surprises her because she hasn't seen Mingyu around lately. But she doesn't think it's a bad thing, vice versa, she loves seeing Wonwoo and Mingyu hang out together again.
"Oh, hi Ms. Jeon" Mingyu finally notices her as he lifts his head up.
"Hi boys," she replies and can't help the wide smile that matches Mingyu's and Wonwoo's, "how's your day been?"
"Really nice! We've eaten pizza and hung out the whole day together," Mingyu explains happily, and Wonwoo just nods next to him, smiling, "how about yours?"
"Sounds amazing," she says, sighing as she sits down on the couch, "I had quite a boring day at work but it was okay because I had pretty long break in between the work hours."
Next ten minutes go like that, the three of them talking casually about pretty much everything.
"Oh well, I was gonna make some mexican burritos. You guys probably want some too?" She asks.
"Oh my god, I love mexican burritos," Mingyu almost moans, making her laugh.
"So that's a yes," she smiles, getting up, and Wonwoo nods, smiling as well.
After she has disappeared to the kitchen, Mingyu turns to Wonwoo, excited.
"Oh my god, I almost forgot how much I like your mother! I missed her so much!!" He whisper yells.
"Oh? You missed her more than me?" Wonwoo pretends to be hurt, as he struggles to keep himself from laughing, playful glint in his eyes.
Mingyu crawls closer to Wonwoo on the floor and places his hands on both sides of Wonwoo's face, squishing his cheeks good-naturedly, "of course not, grandpa. Of course you're the most important!" making kissy face playfully.
Wonwoo chuckles at Mingyu, but can't help his stomach from flipping as he takes in the tender scent of Mingyu and the feeling of his soft hands still on the sides of his face.
Just then Wonwoo's mom walks in with a knife in her hand, "boys, could you please help me a bit?"
A mischievous smile spreads on her face as soon as she notices the sort of intimate athmosphere between the boys. Mingyu drops his hands from Wonwoo's face, smiling a bit bashfully, and gets up, Wonwoo following him, "sure."
"I'm going to take a shower, so could you two wash and chop all the veggies? And maybe even prepare the meat and set the table?"
"Yeah, sure," Wonwoo answers, and goes to wash his hands before rolling up his sleeves and setting up to work. Mingyu follows him and does the same.
Mingyu washes the vegetables and Wonwoo starts chopping them just like she had asked. The boys continue chattering as they cook.
Mingyu ends up finishing before Wonwoo and starts to set up the table for three.
"You know, I feel like this is my home," Mingyu suddenly states, making Wonwoo stop chopping the vegetables momentarily.
"Oh, really?"
"Yeah," Mingyu answers, and even though Wonwoo can't see Mingyu, he can hear the wide smile on Mingyu's voice.
"How come?"
"Well, I enjoy being here. I feel like I can be completely myself and I'm really happy here. I feel peaceful."
Wonwoo smiles softly at Mingyu's words, putting down the knife and turning to Mingyu.
"That's how I feel when I'm with you."
Mingyu's face brightens up, "oh my god, that's the sweetest thing I've heard in a long time."
Wonwoo just smiles shyly, and turns before his cheeks are bright red from the cheesy line he just blurted out.
As he gets back to chopping, Mingyu approaches him, wrapping his arms around him from behind.
"I never want to spend another two weeks without you. Not even a day."
Wonwoo actually shivers as Mingyu back hugs him and buries his face on Wonwoo's neck, breathing in the lovely scent of Wonwoo.
Wonwoo would answer to Mingyu, but he doesn't trust his voice right now. He's sure he'd just stutter so he stays quiet, unconsciously melting into Mingyu's hands and sighing quietly. Mingyu's embrace is soft and warm and it feels like home to him. Wonwoo would stay like that for hours if he could.
Before Mingyu gets back to setting the table, he places a peck on left side of Wonwoo's neck, making Wonwoo feel like he's on fire and the butterflies on his stomach to return on full force.
Concentrating on chopping the vegetables is suddenly difficult and stopping himself from smiling is impossible.
The smile on Wonwoo's face hasn't faded even the slightest bit when Wonwoo's mom returns, fresh from the shower.
"Oh, how nice! Thank you guys for helping me. The burritos are soon ready," she says, satisfied, "I'll call you to eat when it's ready."
Wonwoo and Mingyu return to the living room and clean it up a bit. After they're done cleaning, they go to Wonwoo's room to wait for the food to be ready.
The boys are both quite flirtatious as they keep on teasing each other playfully and touching each other's arms, legs and face 'in passing' every time they get an opportunity. Well, they have been kind of flirtatious for the whole day, but now the flirting is more obvious and shameless.
When Mingyu pretends to choke Wonwoo by wrapping his arms around Wonwoo's neck (which is actually a lot more hugging than choking) because Wonwoo made fun of Mingyu, Wonwoo thinks vaguely that they really are not acting like 'just friends'.
He doesn't dwell on it though, as he pushes the thought of it away from his mind and keeps on laughing at Mingyu as the boy 'choking' him tries to get him to stop.
As Wonwoo just keeps on teasing Mingyu playfully, Mingyu climbs on top of Wonwoo, arms still around Wonwoo's neck. That just makes Wonwoo laugh more, and now Mingyu shakes from Wonwoo laughing so hard under him.
Wonwoo's laugh is contagious and soon Mingyu is laughing as well. He gives up trying to 'choke' Wonwoo and the boys just laugh.
The situation is funny, but Wonwoo is fully aware of Mingyu still laying on top of him and making no attempt to move.
Mingyu composes himself enought to be able to say: "you know, if we ever fought, I'd defeat you completely."
Wonwoo's laugh quiets down and his smile turns into a smirk, "uhhuh? You think so?" there's a mischievous glint in his eyes. Mingyu is thoroughly surprised and lets out a sharp gasp when Wonwoo switches their positions so that he's laying on top of Mingyu, holding Mingyu's hands down above his head on the bed.
Mingyu seems a bit breathless, "oh, interesting."
Mingyu tries to switch their positions back, but Wonwoo notices his attempts, and prevents him by pinning his hands down and keeping his legs firmly wrapped around Mingyu's waist.
They keep on 'fighting' for dominance, and stop only when Wonwoo's mom calls them to eat.
They're both sort of out of breath as they stumble out of the bed.
"I won," Mingyu breathes.
"No you didn't," Wonwoo laughs, "I am clearly the winner."
"You wish," Mingyu smirks, "the first downstairs is the winner."
Before Wonwoo has even fully processed what Mingyu said, Mingyu has sprinted out of the room.
Wonwoo just simply rolls his eyes at Mingyu, but smiles fondly and runs downstairs to find Mingyu already sitting on the seat opposite his mom.
Wonwoo sits down next to Mingyu and thanks god in his mind for people like Mingyu and his mom. He's pretty sure he's the happiest he could be right now as he has two of the most important persons near him.
As Wonwoo's mom is busy lapping food to their plates, Mingyu grazes his hand on Wonwoo's leg and whispers quietly 'I won'. That's when Wonwoo thinks that he is at least one hundred percent sure that he's the happiest he could be.
