Jisung woke with jitters in his stomach. He was ecstatic for his date with his boyfriend but his nerves also started to eat away at him. The day went by painfully slow, slower than the days he spent in the hospital and that was saying something.

Finally it was three o'clock and it was time for Jisung to get ready. He took a shower and got dressed in some jeans and a sweatshirt. He didn't try hard since Minho had told him to dress comfortably. As Jisung was waiting for his boyfriend to pick him up, he got a notification from his phone. Thinking it was Minho, he quickly checked his phone but instead of seeing his boyfriend's name, he saw his annoying friend's name.

Coincidentally his sister walked down the stairs. "Why are you dressed up. Where are you going?" Jihyo asked once she saw Jisung.

jisung

Jisung turned off his phone and looked up at his sister who came down and sat next to him on the couch. He took a deep breath. He shouldn't even be nervous but his sister's stare made it seem like he did something wrong.

"I am going on a date." He said quickly, avoiding eye contact.

Jihyo's eyes widen in shock and she jumped up from the couch screaming and clapping.

"You're going on a date?!!! Oh my god with who?!! I didn't know you were seeing someone! How come I didn't know about this until right now?" She felt kind of betrayed that her younger brother didn't tell her anything until now but first she wanted all the details.

Jisung's brother heard his sister scream everything and now he was rushing down the stairs. "Hold up! You have a date?"

Jisung smiled and nodded his head, making his sister squeal in excitement while his brother looked amused. "With who?" He asked.

"His name is Minho."

"Minho? Where have I heard that name from?" Brian asked while furrowing his eyebrows. He started thinking hard, trying to recall where he has heard that name before.

Jisung's heart fell to his ass cheeks. 'He knows. He knows Minho's in Stray Kids. That's it. They're gonna make me break up with Minho and then they're gonna throw my ass to the depths of hell.'

"Wait, it's that guy who brought you home while you were hurt!" Jihyo finally realized.

"Oh yeah!" Brian remembered and everything made sense.

"Yeah him!" Jisung said calmly but in reality his heart climbed back to his chest and he stopped sweating, letting out the deep breath he was holding in.

"Awwww, you're going on a date with the guy who saved you. That's so sweet. I already approve of him." His sister gushed.

'Eh we'll see about that when you find out who he really is.'

"Tell him he better bring you home by 9 sharp." Brian said sternly, trying to use his best strict dad voice.

Jisung rolled his eyes. "Felix said the exact same thing."

"Oh my Jesus. Why are you wearing that on your date?" Jihyo shrieked while pointing at Jisung's outfit, horrified.

The youngest rolled his eyes and swatted his sisters finger away from him. "He said to wear something comfortable so please, I don't need your judgement."

Jisung's phone buzzed and he prayed that it was Minho here to save him from this conversation with his siblings. It seemed like the world was on his side because when he checked his phone it was a text from his boyfriend, telling him that he was outside his home.

"Oh would you look at that. Minho's here. I have to go." Jisung rushed to the door.

"Wait let me talk to him." Brian said getting up.

"Oh absolutely not." Jisung slammed the door shut and basically ran to Minho's car, rushing inside.

"He-"

"Go!!" Jisung interrupted Minho's greeting not taking his eyes off his front door.

Minho looked at his boyfriend with a look of confusion. "Wha-"

"Go go go! Drive! Get out of here!" He demanded Minho while pointing down the road. He could see his brother opening the front door and speed walking down the driveway to the car. "Minho oh my god you need to step on that pedal before I do it for you."

"Okay damn!" Minho finally drove away from Jisung's house and his brother. When they were at a far enough distance from his house, Jisung sank into the seat and let out a sigh.

"Oh hey Jisung. What the hell was that?" Minho wanted an explanation on why his boyfriend was acting like this.

"Sorry m-" Jisung stopped mid sentence once he saw Minho. This was the first time he was actually looked at him today and boy was he beautiful. He wasn't even wearing anything fancy, he just wore a crew neck and jeans but he was so effortlessly beautiful, it was unreal. His hair was landed so perfectly on his forehead and Jisung couldn't take his eyes off of him.

"I know I'm beautiful but I want to know what just happened. After that then you can admire me." Minho half joked, bringing Jisung back from his trance.

The boy blushed and looked away, embarrassed at the fact that he got caught by his boyfriend. "I wasn't admiring you." He mumbled.

"Yes you were and don't worry if I wasn't driving then I would be staring at your beauty too." Minho's comment made Jisung cover his face to his the redness. Minho glanced over at his boyfriend and saw his red ears. He laughed at Jisung's cuteness. "Tell me why you wanted me to get away from your house so quickly."

"Because my brother was coming down the driveway to talk to you and I really didn't want him to embarrass me."

Minho laughed when he heard the explanation. "Oh my god you're so cute."

The compliment made Jisung turn bright red as he lightly punched Minho's shoulder. "Can you tell me where we're going?" He said, changing the subject before he could get more red which was probably impossible.

"That's a surprise." Minho replied.

The response made Jisung groan. "You're so cliché. That's no fun."

"Call me what you want but I'm still not gonna tell you where we're going."

"Fine. How long's the drive."

"We're like a third of the way there."

"To where?" Jisung asked once more.

"To the-" Minho quickly caught himself. "I'm not telling you."

"Ugh." Jisung almost got Minho to expose the location. He slumped in the seat, pouting.

Minho could tell his boyfriend was getting all pouty with him since he wouldn't tell him where they were going so he reached over and grabbed Jisung's hand with his. He brought it up to his lips and he softly kissed the back of Jisung's hand.

"I'm sorry I'm not telling you but I promise it'll be worth it."

"Fine, you're lucky I like you." Jisung secretly smiled.

At some point during the ride Minho told Jisung to reach into the glove box and grab the blindfold to put on. Jisung gave Minho a look.

"Are you gonna lead me through an obstacle for revenge?" Jisung said jokingly, thinking back to the day where Minho almost had a panic attack.

The gang member chuckled lightly, "Just trust me Jisung."

"I'm getting deja vu for some reason." Jisung said sarcastically as he put the blindfold on.

Five minutes later Minho finally parked somewhere and he told Jisung to stay in the car. Jisung obeyed, not wanting to step outside with no vision or assistance. Suddenly he heard his side of the car door open.

"I'm going to lead you to the destination. Do you trust me?" Minho's voice asked.

"Yes." Jisung said with no hesitation making Minho smile.

He grabbed Jisung's hands and led him somewhere. The walk was a short two minutes. He could hear feel the breeze and he could hear the splashing of the waves in the ocean.

"Ok you can take your blindfold off." At that Jisung immediately took off the black cloth that was covering his eyes. He let his eyes adjust to the brightness for a few seconds before he saw an expensive yacht in front of him. He looked at his surroundings and saw that he was on a dock with the ocean in front of him. His mouth fell open at the beautiful view. This was so surreal.

"This is beautiful." Jisung said in awe. "Is that yours?" He pointed to the yacht.

"No, it's technically Chan's, but we have it for the night." He smiled.

'How the fuck does Chan hyung have money to buy a yacht? I thought they were just in gang?' was Jisung's first thought, but he decided it wasn't important right now and shook the thought away.

Jisung hugged his boyfriend. He could tell Minho was taken aback from the sudden hug attack but he quickly wrapped his arms around Jisung's waist and hugged him back.

"You're right. This was definitely worth the wait." Jisung said into Minho's neck.

"Let's go on the boat, shall we?" Minho smiled as he led Jisung onto the boat. He started the boat and steered it into the ocean.

"How do you know how to steer a yacht?" Jisung questioned.

"I know how to do a lot of things. I'm a man of many talents." Minho replied making Jisung roll his eyes and snort.

Jisung walked over to the rails of the yacht, watching as the water splashed against the boat. He saw how the docks started to get smaller as the yacht sailed further away from it. Jisung was enjoying the breeze flowing against his face, relaxing him. How did I get so lucky to be with Minho? What did I do in my past life to deserve him?

Jisung really needed a day like this, calming and relaxing, especially after everything that happened in the week and he was glad that he was spending it with Minho. Suddenly he felt arms wrap around his waist, bringing back from his thoughts. He turned around and came face to face with his boyfriend.

"What're you thinking about?" Minho asked softly.

"About you." Jisung smiled.

The answer made the gang member break into a smile. He leaned down and connected his lips with Jisung's. They met in a sweet kiss that lingered for a bit. Minho pulled away making Jisung pout, he pulled Jisung to the couches that faced the ocean. They sat on the couch and the small boy cuddled into Minho, looking at the ocean.

"What made you think of bringing me on a date here?" Jisung asked, curious.

"Not gonna lie, I had help from your friends." He admitted. Jisung lifted his head from Minho's shoulder and looked at him in surprise.

"Who friends?"

"Felix, Seungmin and Jeongin. I really wanted to perfect this date so I went to them and asked for some ideas. They said you liked the water since it relaxes you and I figured you would've appreciated that after this hectic week." Minho explained.

Jisung wanted to cry. Not because he was sad but because he was so happy. No one has ever cared about him this much, other than his siblings and his friends. The fact that Minho went out of his way to contact his friends just to make this date as perfect as he could, showed how much he really likes Jisung and that made him want to cry.

"Why are you so perfect?" Jisung thought out loud.

"That's what I ask whenever I'm with you. I seriously don't know what I did to deserve you Jisung."

"Don't say that." Jisung rested his head back on Minho's shoulder and the gang member kissed the top of his boyfriend's head.

Jisung started playing with Minho's fingers. That's when he saw it again. The scars. The ones that circled around his wrists. The one that sparked Jisung's interest in Minho. Where did they come from? They looked painful but it looked like they were old scars, from a long time ago. Probably from when he was a child. Maybe that's why Minho never talked about his childhood. You can tell that the scars didn't heal properly. The redness around the scars and the deep indentation made it look a lot more painful than it probably was.

Jisung knew he shouldn't have but he couldn't help himself. He softly traced the scars with his finger tips. Minho flinched at the touch but relaxed his tension immediately. He let Jisung run his finger along his imperfection.

"You don't have to answer this question if you're not comfortable... but how did you get these? They aren't from fighting are they?" Jisung asked softly.

Minho sighed. He knew Jisung was going to ask sooner or later, it was inevitable. He saw how the other would looked at them whenever it was displayed. He could tell Jisung didn't want to be rude about it, he was just curious and Minho completely understood, but it just surprised him at first. No one ever wondered about them, they just assumed it was from fighting which Minho was thankful of. He wouldn't have to explain it or get questions about it, but Jisung was different. He tried to look at it when he thought Minho wasn't looking which was cute.

But the question was, was Minho ready to tell Jisung about it? Of course he trusted Jisung with his life, but he was scared that Jisung would see him differently. Minho knew that the boy wouldn't change his perspective on him from something that happened in that past, but he was still scared and ashamed of it.

He hadn't told anyone about them, not even all of the members in Stray Kids knows. The five people that he lived with were the only people he explained the full story to. Of course Minho told them, they were his best friends, but it was a long time ago and they've never talked about the situation again.

He wasn't ready to tell Jisung, not yet, not because of Jisung, but because of himself and his own embarrassment. He wanted to first get rid of that small doubt so he won't have that little fear in him. Minho just couldn't risk the very small chance of Jisung leaving him, but he also didn't want his boyfriend to think that he didn't trust him.

"No, they aren't from fighting. This happened when I was younger. I guess you could say that life wasn't very fair to me when I was a child." Minho started.

Jisung could tell that this was a sensitive subject for Minho and he appreciated how his boyfriend was trying to tell him even though he wasn't ready. But he wanted want Minho to tell him when he was ready, he didn't want him to feel forced.

Jisung kissed Minho's shoulder. "You don't have to tell me if you're not ready Minho. I understand, I'll wait until you are." He smiled sweetly.

Minho was extremely thankful for how understanding Jisung was. He really didn't deserve him. "I promise I'll tell you soon." Jisung nodded and looked back into the ocean, still playing with Minho's fingers.

The sun was setting and it was honestly the most beautiful sunset Jisung's ever seen. He was glad he was experiencing it with someone he cared a lot about.

"That is so pretty." Jisung said in awe.

"Yeah I agree." Minho said, but he wasn't looking at the sunset.

After the sun set, Minho steered the yacht back to the dock and tied it up. The couple walked back into the car. "Thank you. I really needed that." Jisung thanked.

"Oh the night's not over yet." Minho smiled.

"Huh? What do you mean?" Jisung looked at the time. 7:27 P.M.

"Our date's not over yet."

"Where else are you taking me?"

"To Seoul, we're just going to walk around maybe shop and eat a little. I'm not ready to take you home." Minho started up the car and started driving.

The time they spent in Seoul was extremely fun. They went to all different kinds of stores and bought some items for their closet. They ate a bunch of street food and watch all the street performances, just enjoying each other's company and getting to know more about each other. Jisung couldn't have wanted this day to be any different. It was absolutely perfect and it's been a while since he's felt this happy.

The drive back to his house was the most depressing part of the day. He didn't want to leave Minho and he didn't want this day to end.

"Thank you for this amazing day. It was perfect." Jisung smiled.

"I'm glad you enjoyed it. You deserve everything." Minho smiled back.

Jisung felt his cheeks get hot and his heart melt. "Stop it."

Minho laughed, "I'll see you on Monday." He leaned over and pecked Jisung's lips.

"Bye Minho." Jisung said as he got out of the car. He walked into his house and was immediately bombarded with questions by his siblings.

"What happened?"

"What'd you do?"

"Where'd he take you?"

"Did you have fun?"

"Woah woah, slow down guys. He took me on a yacht ride and then took me to Seoul and we walked around and ate food and talked a lot. Yes I had a lot of fun." He answered smiling.

"Aww. You should bring him one day. I want to officially meet him." Jihyo said eagerly.

"You guys are going to embarrass me."

"Exactly, that's what siblings do best, so bring him." Brian said like it was so obvious.

Jisung scoffed and walked to the stairs. "I'm exhausted, I'm going to bed."

-

The next night Jisung received a FaceTime call from Seungmin and he immediately knew it was going to be a group call. He accepted the call and sure enough, three faces popped up on his laptop.

"I want to know everything that happened in both of your dates." Felix demanded immediately and Jeongin nodded along.

"I say that Jisung should go first." Seungmin volunteered for him, giving an evil smile. The other two nodded eagerly, agreeing with the one who suggested the idea.

"Fine." Jisung playfully acted annoyed but everyone knew that he was excited to tell them what happened.

After Jisung explained the entire date, everyone seemed deep in thought, making Jisung nervous for some reason. Almost like he was waiting for his friends approval of Minho.

"Well shit, I knew he was whipped for you but I didn't know he was such a romantic." Jeongin said in genuine shock.

"Yeah, you're bringing out a part of him that no one knew existed." Seungmin added on.

"Well you've been bringing out parts of him that no one knew existed, but who knew there was more." Felix spoke.

Jisung furrowed his eyebrows, "You just answered that question in the same sent— You know what? Never mind." Jisung rubbed his temples "Also you little shits, what're you talking about? You're the one who gave him the idea."

"Whaaaaat? Pshh no we didn't." Jeongin denied, making Jisung shake his head.

"Why didn't you guys tell me?" Jisung pouted.

Seungmin rolled his eyes, "It's a date! Why would we tell you. Also all we told him was that you like the water because it calms you down. We thought he was going to take you on a walk around the beach, not take you on a fucking yacht to watch the sunset."

"He's the one who came up with everything, we helped with 1% of it." Felix admitted. Jisung smiled to himself, Minho was really whipped for him as much as he was whipped for the gang member.

"How does Chan hyung have a fucking yacht?" Seungmin asked in disbelief.

"I was wondering the same thing." Jisung said. "But I forgot to ask Minho about it."

"Do gang leaders usually make that much money?" Felix wondered.

"I don't think so? I don't know, I'm not really a gang expert."

"Maybe they're part of the mafia or something." Seungmin said nonchalantly.

"Or a family business." Jisung countered.

"Yeah... Like the mafia." Seungmin restated.

"Moving on," Jeongin prompted. The talk about mafias and gangs was confusing him and thankfully Felix got the hint.

"His scars must be a really deep and dark memory for him to not tell you right now. I was absolutely certain that he would tell you whatever you wanted to know about him." Felix observed.

"Well he does tell me everything except that. I know it has something to do with his childhood or his parents because he never really talks about either of them. The only time frame I know is after he joined the gang. I honestly don't know how or why he joined it." Jisung chewed on his lip.

"So you don't know anything about the first half of his life? You only know the second half?" Seungmin summarized.

"If you put it like that it sounds a little sketchy." Jisung half heartedly chuckled.

"Minho's in a gang. Sketchy isn't something new with him." Seungmin pointed out, making Jisung shrug.

"You're also the first person outside of the gang who he actually opened up to, as much as he did, so I don't really blame him for being cautious and not telling you everything." Felix added on.

"I have faith that he'll tell me at some point. He just needs time." Jisung believed and the others agreed. "Well what happened between you and Hyunjin?"

Seungmin didn't expect to suddenly be thrown in the spotlight like he just was. "Uhhh, um not much." He said causing his friends to roll their eyes.

"I don't have time for your stalling, hurry up and tell us." Jisung got impatient.

"Damn ok. He took me to an animal shelter and we played with all the animals, especially the dogs. Afterwards he took me out to dinner." Seungmin beamed.

The short boy smiled, he already approved of Hyunjin. If Jisung liked the water then Seungmin loved animals, more specifically dogs. Which meant that Hyunjin cared about Seungmin enough to remember the small details that the boy had told him, like the fact that he loved dogs. The date sounded like Seungmin's dream date and Jisung was glad that the boy got it.

"Why didn't you adopt any of them?" Felix joked as Seungmin glared at him.

"You know why I didn't adopt any of them. My brother's allergic. Hyunjin offered to buy me a dog and I was really attempted to say yes but I didn't. Partially because of Wonpil, but also because I didn't want him to spend money on me." He pouted.

"That is the sweetest thing ever." Jisung gushed.

"I tried to pay for dinner but as soon as the waiter placed the check on the table, I blinked and it vanished into Hyunjin's hands. I don't know how the hell that's possible."

"It's probably from being in a gang. You gotta be fast when you're in one." Jeongin shrugged.

"Oh he also asked me to be his boyfriend." Seungmin said as if it was nothing.

"WHAT!?"

"HE DID WHAT!?"

"HOW DO YOU LEAVE THE MOST IMPORTANT DETAIL OUT!?"

Seungmin laughed at his friends' reaction, "That's why. Why are you guys even surprised, y'all knew that he was gonna ask me out at the end."

"We didn't know for sure because your dumbass could've made him rethink everything." Jisung said making the taller boy roll his eyes.

"Please tell me you said yes." Felix begged.

Seungmin scoffed. "Of course I said yes. Who do you think I am?"

"How did all three of you manage to get a boyfriend in the spam of two weeks. Not mentioning them being apart of a gang and you being able to break their shell and convincing them to open up to you in a matter of a few days?" Jeongin said in disbelief.

"The same way you're going to get Yedam to fall for you too." Jisung smirked. "How's tutoring going?"

"It's going good. I'm kind of sad because he's actually understanding everything really quickly." Jeongin frowned.

"Uh, why is that sad?" Felix asked.

"Because then he won't need a tutor anymore and then we'll go back to being strangers and I won't be able to talk to him or admire him up close because I won't have a good reason to."

"Well there's always going to be new lessons everyday, so you'll need to explain to him how to do them. He'll still need you." Jisung pointed out.

"If worst comes to worst and he doesn't need a tutor anymore, he's still going to talk to you. He's not just gonna ignore you all of a sudden. You guys sit together at lunch. It's not like he's going to stop sitting with us because you sit there. That's ridiculous." Seungmin added.

"I just feel like nothing's happening. It still seems like he sees me as the adorable baby everyone else sees or just as a friend if I'm lucky." Jeongin pouted.

"Stop it. He's going to realize how amazing you are. You just need to give it some time. He can't be that oblivious. If so then I'm going to complain to Bang Chan."

"Oh god please don't. That would be embarrassing. Chan knowing that I like his little brother? He'd probably think it's gross." Jeongin begged.

"Actually he would probably think it's cute. He probably already knows that you like him. It's pretty obvious, I'm surprised that Yedam doesn't know. He may be more oblivious than you." Felix pointed out.

Everyone laughed as Jeongin groaned.
