Sunlight shun down brightly, making his blond hair look almost bleach white as he slowly walked down the parks path at noon.
He was on lunch break, and had wanted to take his rest away from the work environment.
He had started to take his breaks in the park beside the bookstore he owned for a while now and liked the quietness, and solitude of the park.
He came upon the same man sitting on the same bench for the past two weeks, looking off into the distance enjoying his cup of coffee.
Jae glanced around, clutching his bento tightly in his hands, trying to gain the nerve to ask to sit next to him.
Jae had noticed the man the very first day he had sat on that particular bench in this particular park at this time of day.
He was not hard to miss, with his brown hair and good looks.
Jae had been attracted instantly to the man.
Biting his lip, Jae stood in front of the bench as nerves racked his body. He is a shy boy and being so forward was against him.
Shaking his head he turned to walk away when a soft voice asked him if he wanted to sit down.
Jae turned around quickly and a shy grin formed.
Tentatively he sat down next to the man, looking away grinning.
Jae was opening his bento when the man asked what he had brought for lunch.
Jae lowered his head as he eyed the food inside the box, "Rice balls, kimchi, and some fruit." He managed to whisper out to him.
Jae lifted his eyes to the stranger, "Would you like some?" Jae picked up his chopsticks and dug into the kimchi, holding it up to the man.
The man gazed at Jae as he slowly brought his mouth to the chopsticks, opening his mouth, he took in the food. Releasing the chopsticks he leaned back and chewed, a grin appearing on his face as he swallowed the food.
"You shared your food with me, but, I don't even know your name." The man leaned forward holding out his hand, "I'm Jung Yunho." Jae slowly held out his hand, then their skin was touching.
Their first touch and Jae had trouble remembering to breath. He pulled his hand back and blushed as he realized that he just shared his lunch with a complete stranger. He turned his head away from the man, "Kim Jaejoong. So I guess we're not strangers anymore."
Jae jerked his head back towards Yunho as he laughed, "Guess not. Your lunch is very good by the way."
Jae smiled widely at the compliment and took another bite of food and held it up to Yunho, "You want more? I'll share it with you."

Yunho watched as the sun shined on the boys blond locks, making him look like an angel.
Smiling he leaned forward again and accepted the food that he offered.
Jae and he sat the remainder of their time quietly sharing Jae's lunch.
Yunho watched the many different expressions that Jae showed; he was like an open book.
Yunho had been waiting for almost two weeks for the other to get up enough nerve to sit by him and talk. He was about to do so himself today when he noticed the boy had stopped in front of him.
He had spoke up because he wanted to get to know this person. This person who was so attractive, who looked like the moon kissed his skin with pearls and the roses brushed his lips with their petals, whose eyes looked like dark melted chocolate.
Yunho stretched as Jae packed up his now empty bento box, "So, Jaejoong, do you work near here?"
Jae glanced up the lane towards a small book shop, "I work there." He answered pointing to the little quaint shop, "I also happen to own it."
Yunho pointed, "I work there." He pointed towards an even smaller shop, a music store just up the lane from Jae's bookstore. "I also happen to own it."
Yunho laid his arm behind Jae's shoulders along the back of the bench and crossed one leg over the other, "So, tell me Jae. How is it that we both own stores almost right next to each other and have never met, never spoken to each other?"
Yunho smiled as Jae's face turned pink, "I have never been over friendly. I'm kind of shy around new people, so it's not all that hard to imagine we would go this long and not know each other."
Yunho's eyes lowered to see Jae nervously play with his fingers. The breeze gently blew his fringe off his forehead.
Yunho reached out and took one of his hands in his, "So you want to meet tomorrow and have lunch?"
Jae nodded, "Yes, I would like that." While his heart beat quickly.
Yunho smiled as he stood and helped Jae to his feet, "So it's a date then." His heart was also beating a mile a minute.
Jae's smile just about out shone the sun, "Yes, it's a date. And I'll make lunch for two."
Jae waved as he walked back to his bookstore and Yunho whistled as he thought of his date the next day, feeling light as a feather.
Smiling, Yunho thought about lunch today. Today they had lunch for two, and he hoped that he could always have lunch with the intruging young man.
Yunho unlocked the door to his music store still smiling, looking forward to his lunch date tomorrow.
