Just a cute mall date with Hyeongseop. That’s it.

You watched in mild amusement as Hyeongseop tugged an incredibly ugly orange beanie on over his hair.

“I think it’s cute,” he declared, whipping out his phone to take a selca.

“Babe, you’re not Park Jihoon,” you replied, reaching up to yank the beanie off of his head, “let’s find something that matches your outfit better.”

The two of you had decided to go on a date to the mall, and Hyeongseop had already gotten a soft pretzel, played some arcade games and tried on about 20 samples of perfume at the Bath&Body Works shop. You were exhausted.

“Look at this t-shirt!” Hyeongseop exclaimed, holding up a women’s t-shirt with a deep v-neck and lacing that travelled up it.

“Different from your usual style,” you replied with a shrug—normally, Hyeongseop dressed exclusively in sweatshirts.

“No,  I mean for you!” He replied, shoving it towards you.

“Me?” You took one look at the v-neck and put it back on the rack, “no. We’re not shopping for me today.”

“Not even for a couples outfit?” He pleaded, pouting at you. You stared at your puppy of a boyfriend, your resolve weakening second by second.

“Fine,” you sighed, letting yourself get dragged to the plain t-shirt section. Hyeongseop picked out a pair of striped t-shirts, black pants for the both of you, and a pair of cute, fluffy black beanies.

“You know, you’re actually not that bad at this whole outfit picking thing,” you mused, watching Hyeongseop struggled with the bags of clothing that he’d just bought.

“That’s what I’ve been saying,” he complained, smiling cutely at you. You just laughed, leaning over to kiss him quickly.

“Hey, can we grab a snack or something?” Hyeongseop asked you, tugging you in the direction of the frozen yogurt shop, “I’m really hungry, and frozen yogurt sounds really good right now.”

You just shook your head, letting yourself get pulled into the cold store, Hyeongseop hurrying to grab one of the cups. He filled the cup with almost every flavor and topping, taking special care to get the most of your favorite flavor and topping.

The two of you sat outside the shop, sharing the cold treat as you talked about various things.

“I’m glad we came here today,” Hyeongseop commented, mouth full of chocolate frozen yogurt. You winced at the sight of some dripping down, using a napkin to wipe the dribbles off.

“It was a nice date,” you admitted, “and you got your pretzel and frozen yogurt.” Hyeongseop smiled happily.

“(y/n), we should take a selca!” he exclaimed, pulling out his phone and opening it to the camera. You sighed but placed your spoon down, smiling into the camera. “Okay, one… two…” right before he said three, he turned towards you, planting his (incredibly sticky) lips on your cheek. Your face morphed into a look of disgust, and Hyeongseop quickly snapped the picture.

He started laughing as he examined it, zooming in on the disgusted look on your face.

“No, Hyeongseop, delete that!” You complanined, reaching over to grab the phone. He just giggled, happily setting it as his wallpaper and lockscreen right then and there.
