summary: jongup, junhong, skateboards, and ice cream. all in december.
it’s an unusually warm day in december. a bit too warm. zelo doesn’t like it. the heat is icky and it makes him sweat. he’s wearing layers upon layers of clothing and he feels like he’s melting. going outside definitely didn’t help him at all. in fact, he thinks he’s sweating even more now. damn it all.
he had ask his closest friend, jongup, to take a walk with him. he thinks his company will help alleviate the heat. it sort of does. only sort of. jongup notices zelo’s discomfort, of course.
“zelo-ah, why don’t you take off your coat? you don’t look too good,” jongup says, concerned.
zelo shakes his head. “but, hyung, where would i put it? i don’t like carrying big coats around. i rather just wear it and bear this heat.”
pitying the poor maknae, jongup stops and thinks of ways to help zelo cool down. they obviously can’t go swimming or to an amusement park. it’s still too cold for that. besides, none of the pools or amusement parks are open this late in the year, anyway. jongup pouts, still trying to think of something. zelo holds back a laugh. he thinks jongup looks really cute when he’s trying to think.
zelo’s eyes begin to wander around, no longer paying attention to his hyung. he jumps in surprise when he hears an “aha!”
“i got it, zelo! we can go eat ice cream! it’s not too cold for ice cream! and i know lots of ice cream stores still open! come on!”
he grabs onto zelo’s arm and drags him away to the nearest ice cream shop. zelo wiggles out of jongup’s grasp. the older boy turns back and looks at him questioningly.
“i brought my skateboard. we can ride it; it’ll get us there faster.”
he plops his skateboard on the ground and hops on. he looks at jongup expectantly. jongup looks nervous, so zelo reaches out his hand and the other boy grabs it.
“don’t worry, hyung. i won’t let you fall. just hold on tight to me.”
and jongup does. he grips zelo’s shoulders tightly (but too tightly) and the skate away with jongup shouting out directions (well, not shouting because this is jongup we’re talking about). they finally stop in front of a cute ice cream shop with pink paint and just about pink everything. jongup hops off the skateboard and immediately heads inside. zelo follows after, tucking his skateboard under his arm.
“oh, hi, jongup! what’ll it be today?” the lady behind the counter asks.
oh, so he’s a regular here, zelo thinks.
“ah, i’m here with a friend today. zelo-ah, pick something.”
zelo goes up to the counter and looks at the choices. he scans everything twice before making a decision. “i want strawberry banana ice cream, please...?”
“my name’s rae, but you can just call me noona,” she says as she scoops up some strawberry banana ice cream for zelo. she looks at jongup. “jongup, the usual or something new?”
jongup thinks about it for a moment and decides that maybe trying something new isn’t so bad (now let’s see if he’ll listen to music other than chris brown). “i’ll have...the...mango mango.”
rae scoops up some mango mango ice cream for jongup. she holds the two cones out for zelo and jongup to take.
“that’ll be 7 dollars and fifty cents,” she says.
jongup pays since he’s the hyung and he’s the one that suggested that they go eat ice cream (and because zelo doesn’t have any money on him). rae smiles at them.
they turn to leave and she calls out, “have fun on your date!”
jongup’s face turns a bright red. zelo licks his ice cream, oblivious. the older boy is glad his friend didn’t hear what rae said. how embarrassing would that be. zelo hops back on to his skateboard and waits for jongup. jongup can’t hold onto zelo’s shoulder and not fall so he’s unsure of what to do.
rolling his eyes, zelo grabs jongup’s free arm and wraps it around his waist. “just hold on like this, hyung. you won’t fall if you hold on like this.”
he’s glad zelo isn’t facing him because jongup is sure his face is pinker than the ice cream shop they were just in.
halfway home, zelo speaks up. “hmm, you’re right, hyung. i feel a lot better. ice cream really does help with the heat!”
the older boy smiles. “mmm!”
once they make it home, their ice cream are gone and their hands are a bit sticky. zelo tucks his skateboard under his arm and looks at jongup.
he grins and says, “i had a really fun time on our date, hyung! maybe we can do it again another time!”
he runs up the stairs. “oh! and you’re gonna pay again! don’t expect me to carry money!”
jongup’s face burns but there’s a hint of a smile on his face. “cheap maknae.”
