➮ cafe.

@✿ i. nayeon "awesome, sounds good, let's go~" he says, following nayeon. jaemin then squints a bit, the day foreshadowing that golden hour would soon be falling over them, the day sky's ever so slightly hinting warmer colors. behind her, he takes a quick spoon of his ice cream, humming at its deliciousness. just as he's finished his bite, nayeon offers him a bite of hers, to which jaemin widens his eyes, looking back at her. because if he takes some of her dessert, its an indirect kiss? he shakes the stupid, lame thought from his head. "okay." jaemin says, sincerely just wanting a taste of the mango flavor. "yummy!" he exclaims, having eaten the spoonful.

@✿ n. jaemin “do what you will but i won’t accept them unless the gifter also swings by for a visit sometimes.” the mischief ringing in her tone is accompanied with a shrug of her shoulders, vacant hand once again gripping at the metal handle to lead the two outside. the amber notes of the dessert spark images of the flourishing marigolds she thinks jaemin would be fond of and nayeon figures a park would suffice as long as they get to bask in the presence of the other. “i know a nice park nearby so we could head there right now, it’s about five to six blocks down this way.” as if on cue, her paces take off along the pathway in front, fingers quick to work on scooping at the ice cream threatening to melt under the glaring rays. “want a taste of the mango flavored one if you don’t mind? it’s really good, i promise you.”

@✿ i. nayeon "watermelon and lychees huh, noted." jaemin tells her, tapping a finger to his head. "well now you're going to have them more often because i'm going to stop by and deliver you more fruits and other good stuff." putting his wallet back into his pocket, he turns back to the older girl. "thank you." he says, taking his cup of ice cream from nayeon, so that the latter at least has one hand free. "if you don't mind, let's go out? like to a park or something. the weather is decent so think it's be nice to take advantage of that. but whatever you'd like." jaemin beams, smiling warmly.

@✿ n. jaemin “i do like fruits, i just don’t eat them as often as i should. my favorites are watermelon and lychee, and you?” the folding of his lip into a pout only flourishes the simper nayeon has been trying to tame from growing any stronger since the beginning of their date. “a scoop of mango for me, and in a cup as well please.” the sweet treats were served almost immediately, and retrieving their orders from the counter gives her the chance to bite down the smile when steered clear of his view - at least according to her estimation. “do you want to finish the ice cream here or shall we head out to other places?”

@✿ i. nayeon he unfortunately nods slowly to at her question regarding mint chocolate. "sorry... but we can eat other things together deliciously." jaemin adds, pouting at the fact that he sadly didn't agree with the latter on mint chocolate, but smiling when he hears the other let out a chuckle. "you like fruity flavors huh. do you like fruits in general? if so, what's your favorite to eat? and yes, ready!" he says, stepping up to the cashier to order. "two matcha scoops in a cup, and whatever she's having." jaemin says, before taking his wallet out of the pocket of his jeans, to pay for their order.

@✿ n. jaemin “ouch, that’s a bit tough to hear. are you one of those people who think mint chocolate tastes like toothpaste?” a chuckle is stifled by the thin line of her lips pressing against one another before it’s released from its captivity to answer. “matcha’s always a good choice. well there’s raspberry, passion, mango, i’m most probably going to get uh - ” her attention goes over the arrayed flavors to finalize her selection. “mango it is, shall we place the order now?”

@✿ i. nayeon his eyes crinkle into amusement at her response. "better accent than mine." jaemin looks from the menu down to the freezers before him, looking at each ice cream flavor in their respective tins. "ooh matcha, i loveeeeee. but i'm sorry, we can't be friends on mint chocolate." he honestly says, his face scrunching up at the the particular flavor. "which fruity ones are you considering?" he asks, finally peering up to glance at the latter, before looking to the ice creams again. "i think i'm going to get matcha, most likely."

@✿ n. jaemin quick to follow suit, she approaches the counter ahead, response spoken out in a mimicry of his tone. "not a problem at all, fine sir." nayeon's eyes scan over the arrangement of listed flavors though it doesn’t linger for long, instead it shifts to jaemin. “i often get either mint chocolate or matcha but the fruity ones are appealing to me more than usual today. what about you?”

@✿ i. nayeon "why thank you, my lady." jaemin tells her in a posh and polite tone, jokingly trying to act like if he was someone from kingsman. they enter the store together, standing before the shop's counter and menus, jaemin looking right up to see what flavors the shop had. "what do you usually get?" he asks, going through the flavors one by one on the menu boards.

@✿ n. jaemin the stroll around the neighboring shops to occupy her waiting time abruptly comes to an end at the sight of jaemin — particularly reflected into the glass behind the silhouette snugly clad in beige. walking down the adjacent street grants nayeon a rather endearing sight of the male prepping one last time for their promised meeting before she puts up a hand to wave in return now that he’s taken notice of her. "you could say that again." a frisson of elation tugs on her lips into a rather coy smile besides for the attempt to conceal the feigned unawareness as she meets him halfway, then continuing her steps towards the nearby destination. nayeon tugs onto the door handle, the warm breeze emitting from the heater inside already envelops her upon entrance while she shuffles to the side to make way. "gentlemen first, i don’t want you freezing out here."

@✿ i. nayeon he looks at his reflection in the store of the ice cream store's shop window, checking his look one final time. jaemin sweeps his bangs lightly with his fingers, making sure they fell right across his forehead in the most natural, yet best angle possible. satisfied with how the strands of hair fell, jaemin then shoved his hands into the pockets of his beige wool overcoat. he had gone for the typical winter boyfriend look; overcoat, drawstring hoodie, jeans and white nike sneakers. casual but refined. he wanted to make at least a decent impression, if not a great one. "you've got this." he tells himself in the glass, before turning around and peering around up and down the street, trying to spot nayeon. then, just to his left, he spots her, walking towards him. excited to see the latter, jaemin too walks towards her, waving. "at last, time for ice cream."
