for the past week soobin has been living at daniels. he would leave work to go pick up daniel from detention then head back to work after dropping him off at home. the elder would ask to just come and watch him work until he finishes but soobin always put down that offer, saying he wasn't ready for him to meet his coworkers.

"soobin! fucking bring him today!" jungmo yelled at the taller, slapping his ass as the younger cleaned the table, letting out a yelp.

"what was that for?" soobin whined, hurt and offended before slapping the other over the face with his dirty rag. "oi- but bring him. today. after school." he demanded, slapping his ass one more time before walking off to the back. soobin just sighed and laughed as he went back to cleaning the vacant tables.

soobin thought about it though. it was the males last day in detention and he has gotten way better in korean for being such a quick learner but is it really time for them to meet? what if they embarrass him? that's one reason why he's glad beomgyu never got to meet daniel in person.

"soobin! stop spacing out and serve table six!" yunho yelled from the kitchen before yelling in pain as he got hit by mingi for yelling at his 'baby'.

twenty minutes later, soobin took a look at the clock above the door. he cursed, noticing that it was five to five, meaning daniel was about to come out of detention.

"need to go pick up your boyfriend?" mingi asked, making a to-go coffee for a customer.  soobin nodded, quickly grabbing his keys from his locker in the back room and leaving to drive towards the school.

the school was a fifteen minute drive from work and it had became winter so daniel would be stuck in the cold for ten minutes which the thought of poor daniel shivering hurt soobins heart.

he tried to get there quickly as legally and as safely as possible but he did end up twenty minutes late due to the horrible traffic.

when he arrived at the school, he spotted the elder sitting on the stairs at the entrance, hood up and the bottom half of his face covered by his scarf. the sight was so cute but so sad to see and he couldn't stand seeing the elder like that so he quickly pamped his horn, watching daniels head shot up so quickly and run over towards the car to get in.

daniel quickly shut the door and sighed in relief as he felt the heat start to warm up his cold body.

"are you okay? i'm so sorry, traffic was really bad." soobin apologised in korean, cranking the heat up a tad. "yeah i'm okay soob. it uh wasn't bad but i'm cold."

soobin nodded to his reply, driving off. while the younger drove, daniel continued practicing his pronunciation, muttering words repeatedly under his breath. he didn't even know the car had stopped until soobin patted him on the knee, making the elder raise his head.

"oh we're here?" he asked, looking around but pulled a confused face. "this isn't my apartment." he stated, soobin laughing at his dumb cuteness.

"of course we're not. would you like a hot chocolate?" he asked. daniel was still so confused but nodded, feeling really in the need for one.

they got out the car and into the cold before heading inside the place.

"younghoon, could i get one hot chocolate please?" soobin asked the blond male who silently nodded and started to make the drink.

"baby where are we?"

the place was sorta familiar to daniel but only the outside. maybe they drove past this place or something? he couldn't quite put his finger on it.

"w-we're at my work." soobin spoke shyly as he took off his jacket, showing his work uniform.
