"Wait, is this a drive-in movie?", Yeosang asked as he peeked out the front window. Jongho smiled and nodded.

"Yeah, do you...like it?", Jongho asked cautiously. Yeosang nodded his head with joy.

"Of course! I actually love it! It's the first time I got to see something like this.", Yeosang replied as he was really amazed with how it looked.

"You know what's better? I actually got tickets for the movie you wanted to watch.", Jongho said cheerfully, proud of himself. Yeosang looked at him with disbelief.

"Aigoo, you never fail to surprise me.", Yeosang uttered. Jongho had a shy smile.

"Of course, if it's about you...I want to know everything. Oh...I actually brought some snacks in case you wanted to munch on something.", Jongho changed the topic and picked up some bag of chips and soda from the back seats.

"Omo! It's starting!!!", Yeosang exclaimed and focused on the big screen.

'It's great that he likes what I planned...one last thing to ask him before the day ends.', Jongho thought to himself.

- after the movie, 9 pm -

"That was amazing!", Yeosang praised, giving a thumbs up. Jongho giggled from the cute gesture.

"Can I ask you something?", Jongho blurted. Yeosang looked at Jongho with a soft gaze.

"Sure what is it?", Yeosang asked as he took a sip of his soda.

"Do you want us to be....uh...official?", Jongho asked, trying to avoid Yeosang's eyes.

     Yeosang put down his drink and cleared his throat. Jongho knew that he was going to be rejected, the atmosphere really changed to an awkward silence.

"I...uh...I'm sorry, I don't want to hurt you. But I'm not really sure yet. I'm just surprised with your question...I haven't thought about it yet.", Yeosang softly answered.

     Jongho was really hurt, he actually knew he was going to be rejected, but it still pained him to hear those words. Jongho covered the pain with a smile, looking at Yeosang with those eyes holding pain and happiness at the same time.

"It's ok..I don't want to force you. I can wait until you're ready.", Jongho tried to say it straight, not wanting the other to hear the pain in his voice.

"I promise you, my heart will only belong to you. I will always choose you.", Yeosang placed his hand on top of Jongho, assuring the younger.

     With those words, the burden Jongho was feeling, lifted up. His heart could beat properly again, nothing was stopping it. They both went back home, the awkward atmosphere was no more, they had a great conversation on the way home.

"I haven't seen Jongho and Yeosang the whole day.", Mingi said as he came in the living room.

"They went out.", Hongjoong said, scrolljng through his phone.

"Wait? They went on a date?", Wooyoung asked, he was doubting what he heard. Hongjoong glanced at him and nodded his head.

"Our maknae is making his move now huh?", San joked. The other members laughed. Just then, the front door opened and there came in Yeosang and Jongho.

"Soooo! How was the date?", Seonghwa teased as he looked up from the TV. Yeosang and Jongho got shy from the question.

"It was great!", Jongho answered as he walked in the living room.

"I'll just change to something comfortable.", Yeosang said as he walked up the stairs. Jongho sat down on the couch.

"Tell us what happened.", Mingi scooted closer to Jongho.

"It's hard to impress Yeosang without making him sarcastic you know.", Yunho butted in. Jongho sighed and told them what happened the whole day.

"He really gave an effort.", San said and clapped.

"He rejected you...but you do know that he'll choose you always right?", Hongjoong made the sulky Jongho smile.

"Why are you all gathered around Jongho?", Yeosang asked as he walked in the living room. They all scooted away from Jongho, who he greeted with a smile.

"We just asked about what happened between you two.", Yunho said and winked. Yeosang giggled and rolled his eyes.

"I'll just go up and freshen.", Jongho excused himself and went up to their room. Once Yeosang heard this he looked at all the members.

"What will we do for Jongho's birthday?", he asked. The members stopped what they were doing.

"We should plan it now and tell the producer tomorrow.", Seonghwa said as he hugged a pillow.

"We should act like we forgot that it's his birthday. Then we should eat dinner by the beach, let's decorate it with his pictures or things like that.", Mingi proposed. They all agreed.

"Let's just ask the manager to buy the cake and we can think of more ideas before October 12 comes.", Hongjoong said.

"Wooyoung-ah, Seonghwa-hyung, can you come with me for awhile?", Yeosang whispered. They all followed him to the game room.

"Is there something wrong?", Seonghwa asked, worry was on his face as he sees Yeosang's expression.

"Uhhh, how should I say this?", Yeosang tried to find the right words.

"Come on just say it, you're making me worry too.", Wooyoung whined as he crossed his arms. Yeosang sighed.

     Yeosang told what he was thinking to the two. Seonghwa and Wooyoung couldn't believe what they heard. They actually found it funny, the situation Yeosang and Jongho were in. But they still decided to help him.

"Don't tell this to anyone ok? It's between the three of us only.", Yeosang reminded them. As soon as they went back to the living room, they saw the others sleepy.

"Let's go to our rooms now, it's past midnight.", Seonghwa announced. They all stood up and went to their rooms, greeting each other goodnight before closing their doors.

- the next day -

     Yeosang was woken up by the continuous ringing of the room telephone. He tried to reach it while his body was still weak and sleepy.

"YAH KANG YEOSANG, TWITTER IS BLOWING UP!", Wooyoung shouted from the other line.

"H-huh? Stop shouting it's so early!", Yeosang replied with a sleepy voice.

"I KNOW BUT I ALSO WOKE UP BECAUSE OF MT NOTIFICATIONS! JUST GO CHECK TWITTER NOW!", Wooyoung shouted. Yeosang ended the call and check his phone while yawning.

"I knew it! Kang Yeosang is gay! How does the other members feel with someone like him?", a comment was posted on a picture.

"Shut up you bitch! You don't know anything so stoo hating on our precious yeosangie!", a reply stated.

"I know he looks feminine and beautiful but I didn't expect him to be gay!", another comment was posted.

"He should leave my boys alone! We only accept WooSan!", one more comment stated.

     Yeosang looked at the picture and saw that it was him and a hand that was wiping his lips. It was taken during night time.

"Oh fuck don't tell me...", his voice slowly went away as he sat up.

Hello! Hello! I know that the last part would really trigger some stans since we know what's really happening with Yeosang right now. I am trying my best to not get my story too related to reality so I hope no one would send hate ☹️. First of all, I really want to protect Yeosang from whatever is happening to him, we can all see his worth, them haters just want to hate because society tells them too. Again, this story is not related to reality, the last part is just for some plot twist. I hope you can understand, I won't be spending too much time on this scene, please understand! I would really make it up in the end! I promise that JongSang would have a cute and romantic ending! Thank you for your support! ❤️
