Donghae sighed. "I'll go to the bridge and then back to the apartment. The view should be nice."
Hyukjae nodded.
"I like that."
Donghae snorted.
"I know, the previous time you told me you preferred this hour."
"I like to watch the sunset."
"It's nice, isn't it?"
"Plus there are clouds today. Remember that time we bought food on the street and watched the sunset?"
Donghae nodded.
"We bought cakes or something."
"It's my favorite date ever," he confessed.
"Really? But then it started raining and our food was ruined."
"That's the part I liked the most."
They both laughed.
"You've always loved the chaos."
They were silent for a few minutes, looking outside.
"You didn't prepare any music this time either?"
"No... but you can play some music if you want."
"But you invited me!"
"Mh... turn on the radio then."
"You should have had something prepared, the sunset has to be seen with special music..."
"You want me to kick your ass?"
"But it's true! It's an important part of car rides."
"Okay."
"Besides we're not even going anywhere."
"I just wanted to have a nice time with you, for God's sake."
Hyukjae was silent for a few seconds.
"It is nice," he murmured. Donghae looked at him sideways.
"If you say so."
Hyukjae snorted and stroked Donghae's hair gently.
"Uhm... maybe, if we have time... we can go through a drive-through. And we eat on our way home."
"What do you want to eat?"
"There's a new burger at McDonalds that I wanted to try..."
Donghae smiled.
"Have you tried all the burgers? Is that a personal challenge or what?"
"It's good to try new things, right? Everyone says it's delicious. Do you wanna go?"
Donghae nodded.
"Sounds like a good idea."
"Hey, look! The clouds look so colorful... they're reflected on the river too. Ah..." Hyukjae tilted his head, admiring the scenery. "The day is perfect for going out for a drive, really."
Donghae felt a little proud.
"You've always liked spring days."
"I really do like them."
"I have allergies so I can't fully enjoy it. But the car protects me just fine."
"You like rain better. You like to feel melancholic," he concluded.
Donghae laughed.
"In a sense, yeah... It reminds me of my hometown and my family."
They looked at each other at a red light and smiled.

In their teenage years, Donghae got a hairstyle he hated for their upcoming debut. Hyukjae tries to comfort him.]
Hyukjae frowned as he heard a stifled cry when he arrived at the salon for his haircut appointment.
He looked around and saw a guy on the waiting room couch. He was lying face down, his face buried in a cushion, and he had a bunch of rollers in his hair. After a few seconds, Hyukjae recognized him and got closer to him.
"Donghae?"
"Go away."
"Did something happen?"
"I don't want you to see me."
"Why?"
"Just go away. Go!" Hyukjae approached his friend. He crouched down on the side of the sofa.
"I can't leave, I have an appointment," he said softly.
Donghae stayed silent. A few seconds later, he sobbed.
Hyukjae wanted to roll his eyes. While he was taking a call at the bar they decided to go to, Donghae made a new friend: the man sitting next to him.
Donghae was sometimes a bit naive, not realizing that many people were interested in him in a romantic way when Donghae just wanted to talk. Hyukjae couldn't tell the number of times someone tried to get his number when they were out on a date.
At that moment, the guy at the bar was talking to him. And he talked and talked. And he was a little too close for Hyukjae’s liking. Donghae was laughing.
Hyukjae had already hung up a few seconds ago, but Donghae turned his back to talk to the man.

“Daddy!”
Donghae smiled as he saw Haru running towards him. It was five o'clock in the afternoon, Haru had finished her day at the kindergarten and Donghae went to pick her up.
They both could rest at home until Hyukjae arrived a couple of hours later.
The little girl raised her arms and Donghae bent down to give her a hug.
“Up!” Donghae laughed and carried her in his arms, making her laugh too.
“Hey baby, did you eat all your food?”
“Hm!” Donghae kissed her cheek repeatedly. He carried her to the car and settled her in the seat.
“Don't move, love.” Haru stirred in her car seat, making it difficult to secure the belt. Eventually, Donghae managed to do it and went to the driver's seat.
Donghae smiled mischievously at Hyukjae when he saw that the movie theater was practically empty. There were only about three people in the center row.
He took his boyfriend's hand again and led them to the last row.
Once they both sat down, Hyukjae looked at him.
“What?” Said Donghae.
“Are you planning something?”
“Why?”
“You chose the farthest seats.” Hyukjae raised his eyebrows.
Donghae is not the most organized person in the world. He often forgets where he left his keys, his glasses, even his ID. That used to make Hyukjae so mad, he couldn't understand how he could be so laid back.
But after years of knowing him, he now knows that he's really not that distracted.
He just "likes to be taken care of even if he knows how to take care of himself". That's what Donghae said to him.
But Hyukjae likes that he's messy for one simple, goofy reason: he believes the best couples are those that complement each other.
Donghae complemented him.
Hyukjae appreciates cleanliness and organization, Hae doesn't really care that much.
He sighed and walked towards the closet, turning his back to Hyukjae.
Hyuk followed him with his eyes and stood up. He walked up to Donghae and hugged him from behind, running his hands across his torso and hugging his shoulder with one hand.
He rested his forehead on the younger one's head.
Donghae snuggled against his boyfriend's chest and smiled sadly. Hyukjae never hugged him like that, from behind, with firm, constant caresses.
Hyukjae kissed his shoulder.
"Agh," he moaned because of how good it felt and leaned against his boyfriend. "Can't you hug me like this all the time?"
They both laughed. Hyukjae caressed his tummy gently, making him squirm a little. I just want you to forget about everything for a little while, he thought.
