@⊹ lee jeno. Taekwoon ate his food quietly for the most part but his eyes popped up every once in awhile to catch a glimpse of Jeno enjoying his meal, mentally brought a smile to Taekwoon. Cute, he thought.
“Huh?” He questioned a little confused as Jeno seemed to be hiding something but he decided to not ask again, simply nodding in response. Finishing up his steak and setting his plate to the side once he is done, eyes averting to Jeno with a light chuckle leaving his lips. “You’d enjoy me struggling? I shall remember that, you little bully.” He joked lightly before shaking his head. The burp caught him off guard but then he stifled another laugh. “You are excused…” he stated with a playful smile playing on his lips. “You are definitely a boy….”

@⊹ jung taekwoon. "I see then.. it just comes out naturally Taek. I only want to express my thoughts. That's all". He smiles genuinely as he squeezes some of his fingers as he holds his hand in the process. He uses his other hand to pop a slice of meat and mashed potato on his mouth, savoring how tender it is while thinking of an answer. "Hmm? You'll know later". He didn't answer right away as he thinks it's better to be talked about after their hearty meal. His smile reaches the corners of his eyes again as he admires the male while happily eating his steak too. "Glad you love it. It really tastes heavenly". He takes a good sip on his wine glass to refresh his palate before twirling his fork on the white-sauced pasta. "Really? It's easy to cut steak tho. Good thing I initiated the gesture or I would have laughed and will find it cute to watch you fidget on your steak". He emits a chuckle and reaches to pat his shoulder lightly. He tries to finish the remaining slices of meat on his plate as well as some of the side dishes, feeling himself about to burp so he pulls away for a bit and covers his mouth before burping for real. "Oops, sorry. Excuse me".

@⊹ lee jeno. Taekwoon glances down and looks down as Jeno’s hand made its way to his and he met the younger males gaze with a small blush tint. “Its..not too much. Just something I need to adjust to.” He honestly spoke before bringing his thumb to slightly graze over the side of Jeno’s hand with a soft smile.
Taekwoon heard what Jeno said but was also slightly confused on what he was referring to so his eye brow rose “question…? Yes…?” He stated curiously before taking his fork and take a piece of the steak, bringing it to his mouth and happily ate it with a satisfied hum. “Mmm! This is good.” He exclaimed as he looks at Jeno with a delighted expression before laughing. “No silly, I really meant that I don’t know how to cut steak appropriately.”

@⊹ jung taekwoon. Jeno lifts his head up to look at the male, getting flattered and at the same time glad that the male appreciates his small actions. He reaches to put a palm on top of Taekwoon's and soothes his knuckle. "Is it too much for you? Should I slow down? I just do what I think deems fit for you. You know... just like what I said earlier. My goal is to make you feel special, Taek. That maybe.. once you're ready then I'll get to finally ask you and possibly here a 'yes' from you". Clearing his throat as he took a moment to think of how will he even spit the most wanted question however, he didn't want to spoil their good food at the moment. He slows down in cutting the steak and emits a light laugh, shrugging his shoulders casually. "Well.. I just thought of initiating the gesture. You can always cut steak for me too". He grins before dumping a piece of the chunky meat into his mouth, relishing how it slowly melts in his mouth. "Damn, this is heaven".

@⊹ lee jeno. Jeno seemed to continue to impress Taekwoon.
Never in his life did he get such treatment before, he watched in awe and admiration as Jeno took charge of ordering, finding himself to be locked into his facial features as a smile creeps upon his face before the soft words leave his lips. “You…truly are amazing. Once again I’m astounded by your behavior. You are younger than I am but doing all the leadership roles, maybe I should step my game up.” He spoke with a small chuckle before a few minutes passed and the food was now delivered, the entire table covered and Taekwoon shocked by how much food there is but smile brightly as he is excited to eat. He could never turn down food. Taking a moment to scan everything before his eyes noticed Jeno placing steak pieces on his plate and he blushed slightly at the gesture. “..Who told you I couldn’t cut a steak?” He questioned as he was serious about that, he wasn’t good with knife work.

@⊹ jung taekwoon. Hearing Taekwoon's sudden change of topic with regards to how hungry he is, Jeno chuckled as he came into realization. "Actually, I think they are just waiting for my cue. I'm sorry about that. Let me just call them". After sipping half of his wine, he calls on two of the waiters to start serving their food. They chatted for a bit more till the baked mashed potato, rib eye steak, creamy carbonara pasta, and salad were artfully served on their table. Jeno stared at the sumptuous meal before them and he his lips in the process. He started spreading the table napkin on his lap, covering his pants, before he picks up his knive and fork to start slicing the steak. "Okay, shall we dig in? I hope you like the food. Just tell the waiter if you have any requests. They are very attentive". After carefully slicing the tender meat, he puts a few slices on Taekwoon's plate before he starts slicing some pieces for himself.

@⊹ lee jeno. “I’m a man with decent humor.” Taekwoon relayed with a giddy smile on his face before his hair is ruffled and he furrows his brows lightly before bringing a hand to fix his hair pieces back into place.
Hearing that Jeno’s mother would be delighted to meet Taekwoon caused a smile to appear on his face before he chuckled at Jeno’s response. “I’m glad she will like me..as for my own parents. I wouldn’t mind introducing you to them. I have no doubt you’ll be liked.” He commented before hearing the clink of the glass and also brought the wine glass rim to his lips and took a small sip before setting it down, taking a moment to glance around and enjoy the view before humming. “I don’t know about you but I’m starving…will the food be brought out soon?” He questioned kindly as he could feel his stomach rumbling silently and he internally laughed.

@⊹ jung taekwoon. "Mac 'n cheese- okay that one is quite funny". He reached out to slightly ruffle his hair and laughs a bit. Hearing him comment about how Taekwoon's parents will like him made his heart extra happy tonight. He for sure would like to meet them soon and properly introduce himself and his good intentions with their son. "Man, I'd love to meet your parents then. I hope I'll pass their rocket-high standards. My mom for sure will like you too. I can already imagine how she will make you feel at home, bake for you, and tell you some stories about when I was a kid, oh god". He grinned at the thought as he shakes his head, internally excited and looking forward for when that day comes. Seeing his eyes sparkle from what he has prepared before them made him mentally pat his own back for doing a great job. When it comes to someone special that he really likes, Jeno will do anything to make that person feel extra special and loved. He returned the kiss on his lips and on the tip of his nose followed by a warm smile. "I'm so happy that you liked what I prepared for you. I was so nervous about this in case it won't turn out well but fortunately it did. I've always wanted to make you feel special, Taek. I've never done this kind of thing for a long, long while now. Being romantic. Thought it will never come around but it did". He looked into Taekwoon's eyes with such deep sincerity as if looking at his own reflection in a mirror. This night is surely one for the books as he finally clinks the glass with his and takes a long sip.

@⊹ lee jeno. It felt..nice to Taekwoon how suave Jeno can be but also caused his heart to flutter while being swooned by someone who is younger than him.
His dark brown orbs gleaming to Jeno’s with a timid smile on his face as he felt the latters thumb against skin. “Nothing wrong with being cheesy. Have enough cheese and you can make mac n cheese~” he commented playfully before nodding his head to Jeno’s question about his parents. “Yeah. I do believe they will like you. Though they are a bit on the conservative side, my parents nearly had a heart attack when I pierced my ear but they are fine with it now.” He softly spoke before responding happily the pecks, as his cheeks blushed slightly from the amount of affection he is getting.
“Get…my attention? Also did you just call me professor?” He questioned with an intrigued expression, before playfully glaring when Jeno winks at him. “That damn..wink. I’m going to lock you up so no one can see you…” he mumbles mainly to himself before intertwining his fingers with Jeno’s as they casually make their way to the outdoor dinner spot. His eyes glistening with happiness at the beautiful sight before him. “Wow…this is…gorgeous. Like really gorgeous. You definitely went above and beyond for this. I love it.” Taekwoon was truly astonished by it all, so much that he took a second to place a soft peck to Jeno’s cheek before taking a seat also, picking up his wine glass and holding it up to clink with the others. “To more nights with you, bub.”

@⊹ jung taekwoon. Jeno elicits a light chuckle as he holds the man's chun and rubs the pad of his thumb against his skin. "Oh yeah? Maybe I'm no longer a rebel now that I met you. Ah, I'm being cheezy again. What the heck". He muttered as he is not used to being like this but Taekwoon must have done a crazy spell on him for him to be this expressive. "Damn, you think your parents will really like me? I am looking forward to meeting them. Age is just a number. 6 years gap isn't too much. I feel like you're just about 28 ish". He grinned, leaning close to press a kiss on his lips for a few seconds. Chuckling as the other poked his exposed chest and he even s another one to . "Why? I want to be a little extra tonight. And besides, the goal is to get your attention, Professor". He shoots him his trademark playful wink before offering his hand to him. "You look handsome tonight as usual. Now shall we?". He gestured for them to go to the dining hall this time around and laces his fingers with him as they walk back upstairs where their dinner is set up.

He pulls a chair for the taller once they sauntered their way to their table and he sat next to him afterwards. The sun is just setting which made it a perfect view for their dinner. He took a wine glass and offered a toast to Taekwoon. "To more nights with you?".

@⊹ lee jeno. Taekwoon watches as Jeno placed his hand upon his knee which caused for a reassuring smile from Taekwoon. “I’m glad you are at peace with it all. And you may have been a rebel in the past but I don’t see a rebel before my eyes.” He cooed softly before chuckling with a small shake of his head. Jeno is truly a sweet heart he thought. Despite having this playboy image going on. “My parents would adore you. Though my mother may question the age difference but thats nothing we can’t handle.” He stated softly as he watched his partner go off to shower, taking this opportunity to change into his own clothing while Jeno showered, wearing something a bit simple but classy go him. A long black sleeve that showed off his collarbone and skin tight leather jeans that cupped his booty perfectly.
As he finished fixing his hair, he overheard Jeno making his way back out and Taekwoon couldn’t help but make eye contact with his pairs chest before his eyes, a small brow quirking at the sight. “We ..are the only ones on this cruise right? Because.” He took his finger and pointed at the bare skin showing with a laughter following. “Will cause attention on you, hubba bubba.”

@⊹ jung taekwoon. Hearing the other apologize made him shake his head followed with a small smile. He definitely misses his dad from time to time whenever he remembers his passing. Jeno has moved on, he knows that to himself so it doesn't make him that sad anymore. He knows his dad is in a safe place now and far from the cruelty of the world. "Nah, it's okay Taek. He was a great provider. I and my mom was really grateful for him. And thanks for thinking that my mom raised a good guy. Though I doubt being a 'good guy' aha. I'm a bit of a rebel back then". He muses before listening to him tell his side of the story. Astonished at the unexpected story, not sure if it's right that he brought it up but he badly wants to know a deeper part of him. Sitting close to Taekwoon, he puts a hand on his knee to squeeze it soothingly. "I can see that you've become a wonderful individual. I am happy to know that you were able to find a safe haven from your step parents. They raised you well too". He smiles with reassurance, liking how they shared some bits and pieces of their past. "Alright buddy, let's go. We can't miss a good food". He stood up once again and takes a shower for a good 15 minutes before finally putting on his new set of clothes. An open chested ombre long sleeves, with a touch of black and white for their romantic dinner.

@⊹ lee jeno. The discussion if family popped up and Taekwoon listened to Jeno’s side first with a small frown at the mention of of his parents passing.
“I’m sorry to hear, Jeno…. I’m sure he was a great guy? But it is a good thing you and your mom are very close. She raised a lovely son so you should thank you.” He commented with a soft smile, reaching over to squeeze the other males hand in comfort.
“Me? Oh…I’m the youngest child. I have an older sister and both of my biologic parents…no idea where they are. I’m adopted. My current parents are really kind people. Both of them are lawyers though so I grew up in a very business directed family. They can be intimidating but kind at heart.” He spoke with a smile on his face, as he is forever grateful for his step parents, without them he wouldn’t know where he would be today.
The conversation about food causing his mouth to slightly water and he nods his head in response. “Yes…lets shower and go eat. Hearing about all this food is making my stomach rumble. Got a man, starving now.” He joked with a chuckle before the lean in from Jeno causing his eyes to widen slightly before feeling the small kiss and it caused butterflies again in the pit of his stomach. Standing up with Jeno, he stretched out his arms and sighed in relief. “Thank god…that felt good but I swear I was melting…”

@⊹ jung taekwoon. "Thank you for thinking of my personality just like a sunflower, Taek. Yeah, growing up my mom and I are really close. My dad and I were close too but he passed away when I was 15. How are you with your folks though?" Jeno asks as he never brought up the topic about family and he felt like it would be nice to know each other's side. His sweat runs down all over his body and legs in the process and he just chuckles at how hot it is inside the sauna room. Averting his gaze towards the male, he can only say 'sheesh' in his mind as he noticed how how extremely hot he looks with his sweat on not to mention Taekwoon's reddish skin color due to the heat. "Ah, right. Does steak and wine sound good to you? We also have some other meal courses. Like baked salmon, chicken salad, and some desserts if I remembered it correctly. We can always order more in case you like something else. Are you hungry now? We can just take a quick shower after this and proceed in the dining hall." He wriggles his brows a few times and returns the same heated gaze, playfully leaning in to look at him in close proximity. "Hey.. are you still with me? Or are you already imagining things?" He smirks before planting a peck on the male's lips. He starts to stand up and wipe his back with a towel to dry out the sweat.

@⊹ lee jeno. While Taekwoon finally got down to his swim trunks, he glanced over to Jeno who is already sitting in the sauna. Following his dates foot steps, Taekwoon soon enters the glass covered sauna, taking an seat next to Jeno. Though he was trying not to be obvious that Jeno looked really hot sweaty. There he goes, his mind wandering once again. “U-uhm..” he composed himself and cleared his throat to speak up and get his mind out of the gutter, facing Jeno now with a sheepish grin. “Sunflowers are gorgeous and definitely represent your personality really well. It seems you are close to your mother, though?” He pointed out, leaning his back to rest against the wall of the sauna, while taking a moment to shut his eyes and enjoy the heat. He too, started to sweat but it felt relaxing. The mentioning of the tub, caused Taekwoon to peek his eyes open and glance in the direction Jeno is pointing to.
“Yeah. That would be lovely. That reminds me- what are eating tonight?” His eyes casted over Jeno’s toned body and caused a red tint to appear upon Taekwoon’s face, but he was blaming it on the heat not that Jeno has him thinking naughty thoughts.

@⊹ jung taekwoon. "White roses are indeed beautiful. But I'm still glad I scored the roses as your favorite one. Me? I'd have to go with sunflowers. The sight of yellow tones really brightens up my mood and that's also my mom's favorite maybe that's why I adapted it." He smiles, a cheeky one that reaches his ears at the thought of his mom who he hasn't seen for weeks now because of their busy schedule. Anyhow, he starts to remove his top and hangs his long sleeves at the available clothing rack before turning to face Taekwoon with his chest shining due to his sweat. "This sure is a majestic place, I must say. ? Oh not really. Aha. We can use our trunks. Unless you don't wanna?" He chuckles playfully, stripping his slacks as well and hangs it too. Now he is left with just a bare chest and his swimming trunks. He saunters towards the inside of the sauna and checks the remote control to set their desired temperature before he takes the empty seat inside the glass door. "Come on in". He pats the seat beside him and grabs a towel for him and for the other male. "Wanna take a dip in that small tub after our sauna?"

@⊹ lee jeno. Entangling his fingers within Jeno’s grasps, Taekwoon caught sight of that damn smirk on his partners face and it caused a small snicker from Taekwoon.
“The blue roses are really pretty, but I’m more of a white rose type of guy. Which reminds me , do you also have a favorite flower?” He asked softly with a curious brow that raised before his expression relaxed while following Jeno’s lead into a very high end sauna within the yacht, slightly dropping his jaw once again at being amazed by the setting. “Uhm..wow they outdid themselves with this yacht. I’m actually really stoked about it.” Turning his face to Jeno as they parted hands, he noticed Jeno beginning to sweat but his gaze soon grazed down to him ing his shirt, causing a nervous gulp to be heard from Taekwoon.
“I-“ He is caught off guard by the sudden question, starting to feel hot from the sauna but also the inappropriate thoughts now flooding his mind. “I’ll take a mimosa.” He calmly stated to the waiter, before shimmering off his jacket, setting it aside, then reaching the hem of his turtleneck to slip it off and setting it aside as well. Soon working his way to his slacks and slipping out of them to reveal most of his body, before glancing around curiously. “Is this..a sauna or do they have swim trunks lingering? Just needing to know if the boxers need to come.” The question came out very casual, as his eyes met Jeno’s with a eye smile.

@⊹ jung taekwoon. Seing Taekwoon become more expressive as days pass by makes Jeno's inner self leap with joy. Their dynamics are now clearly keeping up with each other and he was thankful for that. He nods his head in agreement, knowing how there are lots of activities set in place for this date but of course they can only do so much. Grinning from ear to ear, he agreed with the other's remark of trying out the sauna. "It's a yes. Definitely going to be a steamy kind of night". He whispers the last line playfully while a smirk tugs up on his lips, eyes widening in surprise when Taekwoon confirmed about him liking the roses for real. Jeno was actually surprised as he has zero idea about Taekwoon's favorite flower. "Damn, I guess it right. My gut feeling was right. But is it also the blue one? I think the color suits your pretty well. Manly and cool.. and feels like home". The descriptions run smoothly from his mouth, his eyes forming into crescents as he can't help but to press another peck on the man's cheek, following him and lacing their fingers together. "Let's go. I am looking forward to this night with you". The staff led them to where the sauna is located. Completely dazed at how minimalist and awesome the interior is. Jeno's mouth falling apart for some reason and he even pointed out on the jacuzzi. "Oh there's a jacuzzi too. Nice. This place is lit and now i'm feeling hot. Literally." He chuckles as he felt his sweat trickling down his back knowing his outfit has a thick lining and it's long sleeves. The current temperature at the sauna is not helping. Before he even takes off his leather-like top, he asked the staff to grab them some drinks to cool them up. "Anything specific you like, Taek?"

@⊹ lee jeno. As he felt Jeno relaxed within his embrace, it brought Taekwoon’s lips to keep their curved content smile.
Seeing the male pull away, Taekwoon brushed his thumb across Jeno’s cheek before dropping his arm back to his side as he now embraced partially by Jeno.
“Hmm, thats a lot of stuff to do..definitely hard to pick just ONE too. Perhaps….the sauna? I would think the both of us could use some relaxation. Maybe grab a drink from the bar and head to the sauna? Even though /technically/ you aren’t supposed to consume alcohol in there…but we are grown men and can handle ourselves.” His eyes shift over to Jeno with a devilish smirk, slightly bumping his hip against Jeno’s before his lips pursed into thought and looked over his shoulder to the roses before back to Jeno’s brown eyes. “Roses- so you were right on the money. They are delicate but dangerous~”
Taekwoon’s hands found itself to place upon Jeno’s chest as he playfully traced a teasing finger the younger males broad chest, before shifting on his heels to now face away and allows an excited sigh escape his lips. “Shall we grab that drink and begin our lovely night?”

@⊹ jung taekwoon. [] always looking good! here's jeno's :heart:

@⊹ jung taekwoon. Jeno wasn't sure how he will ask the male on a date so he was left with no other choice but to prank him--looks like he actually succeeded in doing so. Though he knew Taekwoon was skeptical at first when he asked him to pull on a formal attire to secretly match this Valentine Date. By the way, Jeno is wearing a full white outfit--in long sleeves and white slacks, completely opposed to the taller figure's all black outfit. He thought they can be like a symbol of Yin and Yang - opposite but interconnected. A laugh springs free from his chest upon seeing his priceless reaction and he brush up his hand at the back of his nape with a sheepish grin forming. "A sneaky y lad, yep. That's me. I'm glad you liked it? Tell me you d-" His line was cut through when he felt the male's lips capture his, shutting him up for a hot minute. The mood became soft and relax as he returns the sweet, chaste kiss. Upon pulling away, he leaned against his hold and admires his beautiful visage. "I'm really happy you made it today and you didn't even doubt me the last minute. I appreciate you too, Taek. Now, let's enjoy the rest of the night together? We have lots to do in here. There are lots of foods, a big movie screen, bar, a sauna, and a small pool. We just have to pick our poison." He teased a bit and pulls him in for a side hug and presses a soft kiss against his cheek. "Do you like roses tho? I haven't asked you about your favorite flower-"

() forgot - here is a visual of the outfit I tried to describe.

@⊹ lee jeno. Absentmindedly following Jeno’s guide to the Han River in town, Taekwoon was impressed by how beautiful the river is though he was a little surprised by the sudden event of Jeno insisting Taekwoon goes to this yacht trip.
He wore an all black get up and his hair done neatly as to not look underdressed for the occasion.
Taekwoon’s eyes then came to a huge yacht that caused his jaw to slightly drop before he is soon snapped out of his amazement by a guide who led them onto the yacht. Keeping close to Jeno, Taekwoon continued to follow but began to notice the /specific/ decor and thought that it was weird the yacht had zero people here other than the captain and workers. He stepped onto the lush red carpet before his brown orbs now spotted a table that is romantically set up, feeling slightly nervous as he put two and two together and realized Jeno had tricked him into sneaking a Valentine’s Day date.
“You…” Taekwoon began to speak, he was trying to keep an expression of being playfully mad at Jeno but the grin that tugged at his lips won the fight, while he lifted his hand to reach over and take in the beautiful flower bouquet into his palm, bringing the delightful blue flowers to the tip of his own nose to softly smell them, he momentarily closed his eyes as he did so before opening them to meet Jeno’s eyes. “You are one sneaky, lad… but its cute. I’m kind of lost for words. The absolute luxury to be spending time with you on this day. You’re adorable, Jeno. I like it… a lot.” With those words said, Taekwoon sets the bouquets on the table before stepping forward to Jeno and bringing his own hands to cup the latters cheeks, the smile still very apparent upon his soft pale skin as he leaned in to place his pink tinted lips upon Jeno’s plush lips in a light yet appreciative kiss.

@⊹ jung taekwoon. Upon arriving at the docking area of the yacht, Jeno guided the taller figure so that they won't run out of balance when they started to take the stairs going up. Jeno didn't say anything about this little surprise. All he just mentioned to Taekwoon is that he won an exclusive yacht ticket online and he can bring his plus 1. Not knowing that Jeno actually reserved this location a few weeks ago to somehow surprise Taekwoon. A staff led them towards the interior part, heading to the dining hall where a romantic table was set up before them. An array of sumptuous food, candles on tables, a red carpet, and a bouquet of blue roses sits right on the table. When the staff left them for their own privacy, Jeno walked over to the table to grab the bouquet of blue roses (he is unsure what flowers to buy but this seems to be the right fit for his date). Clearing his throat, he searches for his gaze and offered it to Taekwoon who completely is dumbfounded and clueless at the moment. "Surprise. Happy Valentine's Day, Taek". He smiles, that genuine smile he always has whenever Taekwoon is around him. His palms are already covered in sweat, overthinking that the male might not like this cheezy setup but he is indeed just hoping for the best.
