daniel came back from the store with drinks and snacks just in time before the pizza finally arrived. soobin was hand drying his hair with a towel while singing along to a song on his phone. the male hadn't noticed daniel yet, staring out the window behind the couch.

daniel carefully placed down the bag and leaned against the door with his arms crossed, a smile on his face. he's only heard the male sing twice from the videos beomgyu had sent him of the talent show and the time soobin sang in his car but this was the first time he's ever heard it in person.

soobin turned around and finally saw daniel, jumping and yelling in fright.

"holy shit!" he cursed in korean, hiding his face from embarrassment as daniel started to laugh and walk towards him. "why don't you do something with singing? i'm sure you would get famous." the elder asked, wrapping his arms around a red faced soobin. "b-because i get scared being watched." soobin replied, not removing his hands. daniel however was not believing it.

he grabbed the tallers large hands to be able to see his face better. "you were fine singing in the car when beomgyu filmed you, you were fine at the audition and on stage, and you were fine now knowing i'd be back. maybe you're okay with singing if it's with people you know." daniel theorized, looking up at soobin.

"i-i-i don't know. i think i'll stick to my job at the restaurant for now." just then the door went and daniel gave soobin a quick kiss before going to get the pizza.

"ah um t-thank you." daniel thanked the delivery girl and went to shut the door when the female stopped him.

"wait! can i get your number? it's just you're my type." the girl flirted. daniel looked at her very confused and looked back at soobin for help. soobin put down the can of coke he had grabbed and stood up from he couch, walking over to the door. the girl looked shocked when soobin came from behind daniel.

"my boyfriend doesn't speak any korean so i will translate it for him. what do you want to tell him?" soobin smiled innocently at her. she backed up in embarrassment and apologised before running off. daniel, confused and shocked, shut the door and placed the pizza box down on the coffee table.

"so what did she want? was there a mistake in the payment?" daniel asked as he brought over the beer cans. "oh it was nothing she just thought she messed up." the elder nodded, biting back a smile as he sat next to the taller who was watching a show on netflix. daniel cracked open a beer and drank it, still trying not to smile.

"so when did we start dating?" the question made soobin start to choke on his pizza slice, daniel slapping his back as he laughed. "w-what are you talking about?" the younger choked out, taking a drink of his coke. "so you didn't just call me your boyfriend to the delivery girl then?"

soobin stared at the elder in shock, his face red for the nth time today. "h-how do you know that?" daniel held up a finger signalling for the younger to wait, taking a quick drink before placing it on the table and reaching for this bag. soobin watched his every move, watching the male bring out his notebook that he's using to jot down his korean studies and open it to a page before turning it towards the younger.

"because you taught me that word today." he explained, pointing to the word 'boyfriend'.

soobin was so embarrassed that he just wanted to curl up in a ball and die. he had completely forgotten he had taught that word today. "so what did the girl actually say?" daniel asked again, putting the notebook away. soobin ignored the question, reaching over to grab a can and opened it before downing half of it. he cringed at the taste but pulled it away from daniel when he tried to take it from him.
