"Guess who's got a date today," Jisoo sang as he walked home with Jeonghan and Seungcheol. Jeonghan's jaw dropped.

"No way. You are going on a date tonight? You're kidding," Jeonghan stated in disbelief. Jisoo shook his head.

"I'm telling the truth! I'm going on a date tonight! We're going to dinner and then the EXO concert," Jisoo replied, his eyes shining.

"I thought you liked Seokmin though," Seungcheol piped up as they entered Jeonghan's house. Jisoo blushed.

"I do. He's the one who's taking me," Jisoo said. Jeonghan's eyes widened, and he grabbed Jisoo's arm frantically.

"Really? He asked you out today?" Jeonghan asked, looking at Jisoo hopefully.

"Technically I asked him out, but that was because he gave me two tickets and was practically begging me to ask him to go with me," Jisoo spoke. Jeonghan let out a loud cheer.

"You have to pay for our next date now, Seungcheol!" Jeonghan said. Seungcheol sighed.

"No way...were you guys placing bets on us?!" Jisoo exclaimed.

"I said that Seokmin would confess to you and ask you out during his next baseball game. Jeonghan said he'd confess before. I seriously thought he'd pull some grand gesture and confess during the middle of his game," Seungcheol disappointedly stated.

"And now you have to buy me whatever I want on our next date! Like I said, a mother knows her child best," Jeonghan proudly proclaimed.

"Oh shut up, the time frame in which you guessed Seokmin would confess was way longer than the one day Seungcheol chose," Jisoo argued. Jeonghan frowned.

"Whatever. Are you gonna make the first move tonight?" Jeonghan pressed. Jisoo blushed.

"Actually...um...technically Seokmin made the first move. Yesterday. He kissed me," Jisoo said. Seungcheol and Jeonghan stopped in their tracks and gaped at him.

"Why didn't you say anything?!" Jeonghan complained, shaking Jisoo's shoulders.

"It was just a kiss on the cheek! I didn't even know if he was gay, let alone if he likes me back! I thought he just did it to be friendly," Jisoo responded.

"Oh, he likes you alright. He never shuts up about you," Seungcheol interrupted.

"My small children are growing up so fast," Jeonghan wailed.

"But what about that crush of his you guys always tease him about at lunch?" Jisoo weakly argued. Jeonghan hit his arm.

"That's you, you idiot! Why else wouldn't we tell you the name of Seokmin's crush?! Also, why would he ask you on a date if he liked someone else?!" Jeonghan yelled.

"I don't know! Maybe he didn't want you to tell me because he didn't completely trust me yet! This was before he told me it was a date! Besides, what if it's still just meant to be a friendly date?!" Jisoo loudly fought back.

"Kids, let's not fight so loudly. The neighbors will be able to hear you. When is Seokmin picking you up?" Seungcheol asserted, trying to change the topic. He was successful.

"Oh no, I don't know! He just said he'd pick me up from here, and then we'd go to dinner and the concert!" Jisoo started panicking. Seungcheol tried to calm him down, while Jeonghan just sighed and took out his phone. He sent a text to Seokmin and got a response back quickly.

"Here. Seokmin says he'll pick you up in around three hours, so stop worrying," Jeonghan said, showing his phone to Jisoo. Jisoo relaxed a little bit.
