Recently, Mingi became cheery again, just like before and Yunho isn't complaining about it. After classes, both decided to go to the Cat Café. The place was quite silent but shrugged it off.

The two tall man played with the cats until afternoon, "make Mingi smile from ear to ear, check." Yunho muttered, silently striking the sentence indicating that it was accomplished. As Yunho contemplate about what they're gonna do next, Mingi was playing with the bunch of cats instead of eating his food. "Yunho! Come join me! These cats are so cute!" The younger beamed, making the other smile.

2.) Take him to the place he wants.
3.) Grant his wishes!
4.) Stargazing, again.

Yunho giggled softly as he read the #4 in the list, you may ask why he loves stargzing, it's because it reminds him of Mingi and their precious memories together. "Let's go! Where are we going next, by the way?" The younger questioned, adjusting his bag, "where do you wanna go?" The other asked making Mingi think, "eh. Wherever you want.." Mingi responded, "Don't be indecisive, just tell me where you wanna go." Yunho retorded, receiving a sheepish smile from Mingi.

The two trooped to a place that seemed familiar with Yunho, and yes, it was the place when him and Mingi first time played the boats. The feeling was sentimental as he recollected those funny yet treasurable moments that him and the younger had. "I told you, i'm lame when choosing a place." Mingi huffed, which made the older smile at such action, "No. This place has a pretty good space in my heart, and never thought of coming back here, but you brought us back here." Yunho consoled, eyes ascending to the man who was still sulking.

Absorbing the statement, Mingi smiled at him widely, eyes fading away. The other couldn't help but to giggle at the sight of the young man who's emotion shifted quickly, "can I ask you something?" The older requested, earning a nod from Mingi who is now sitting on the pavement. At  first, Yunho hesitated but asked, "what's the real score between you and Yeosang?"

After asking, he sat beside Mingi who seemed freezed at his position, "we.. are.. just friends. We talked about it actually, since he haven't move on from Jongho and I... haven't.." Mingi replied, stopping to the part where he was about to spill everything, this made the older curious but let it off, "ah. I see." Yunho acknowledged, smiling at the other, "why so down? Smile!" The older added, making Mingi smile.

"Loving you is like a torture." The younger stated in his mind, "I'm sorry." The older thought to himself then smiled at Mingi after. After his request, no one spoke, both was eaten by the silence and the gap between them. It was already 7:30PM yet they aren't coming back home yet, "You really like stars do you?" Mingi inquired, looking at Yunho just like how he looks at the stars. The older laughed at first, then replied "I do. I like moon too. I like everything that is above us."

Mingi smiled at such answer, he never changed, he was still the Yunho he know when he was a kid. "I wish I was a star for you to like me." The younger voiced jokingly, making them both laugh, "you don't have to be a star for me to like you." Yunho replied ascending his gaze back to the stars, the answer that made Mingi flustered and internally panic.

Their whole night was filled of laughter and fondness, they never knew that they could be back like those days. It feels so happy and gentle for both of them.

━━━━━⊱🌼⊰━━━━━

Yunho came home smiling, his heart beating rapidly and cheeks flushed in light pink. He didn't understand what's happening but he doesn't care, he always loved this feeling when he is with Mingi. As he sat foot at his living room, he saw his parents waiting for him. "Yunho, have you prepared your necessities? We're leaving next week." His mother informed, ringing an unnoticed reminder inside his head, "I..I haven't... but i'll prepare... later.." He responded politely, earning an assuring nod from his father and mother.

"How am I suppose to tell him that I'm leaving and.. dying?"

Questions rambled in his mind, what would he do without his best friend?

━━━━━⊱🌼⊰━━━━━

It is also same for Mingi, he came home smiling from ear to ear especially to that answer he received earlier. His face was the same color as the tomatoes planted on their backyard which made his mother questioned, "Hmm. Is my son in love?" His mother asked, face painted with naughtiness, "maybe I am!" Mingi answered, running upstairs that made his mother laugh hysterically.

After changing into a comfortable clothes, Mingi jumped into his bed, still smiling and there, he was in love with him again. He never lost his feelings, but this time it gave him a little hope.

"I feel like I'm floating."
