Minho took Jisung hand's and started walking fast, almost running. The latter struggled to follow his pace.
-Wait, I'm not as athletic as you. Jisung said, heavy breathing.
Minho looked at him and chuckled.
-Get in shape then.
-What ?
-I'm kidding Jisung, you're pretty fit.
Jisung frowned, not sure what to think about the older's words.
They continued walking, now side by side, until they reached a little park.
Minho took Jisung to a small place right next to it.
The younger followed him inside. A few tables stood by the wall. Each for only two people. On the bare wall hung a string of colourful balls, warmly lighting the place. Pink, purple and pastel blue ruled in the room. It was overall a small place, but very warm and cozy.
Jisung sat in front of Minho.
-What is this is place.
-Cupcakes heaven. It's a coffee, well I only come here for their cakes. This is the best cupcake place of the city.
-The best? Wow, it must be something, Jisung said smiling.
A woman came from the back of the shop, walking towards them.
-Hello, you're here again. You brought someone this time. She said smiling.
-I can't keep your cupcakes for myself. He responded, smirking.
-Well, here's the cake list. Call me when you've made your choice.
-Thanks.
The two boys looked at the menu. Jisung hesitated for a while.
-You know what you want? They all seem good.
-They are. But the chocolate and nut one is my favorite, the blueberry one is right second.
-Another dilemma... Jisung chuckled.
-Let's take both? Asked Minho, rising an eyebrow.
-Nah, I want the banana and chocolate one, it's tempting me.
Minho sighed.
-Well, I guess I'll have to take both by myself.
-Seriously? You're going to eat two of them?

-When you can't choose, don't choose.
Jisung genuinely laughed.
-You're one of a kind, Lee Minho.
They called the lady to order, and kept chatting while waiting for their food.
When she came back with three big cupcakes, Jisung opened wide his eyes.
-Wow, it's no joke. They're not cheating on the price. Now I'm impressed by your eating capacity. You had lunch, right?
-Of course. You're not ready for me, Jisung. You haven't seen me eating after dance practice. I'd eat ten of those, he said pointing at the cakes.
They were walking home. Jisung hesitated to ask something.
-So... Do you still date that boy from high school?
Minho shook his head.
-Well never really dated. I loved him and told him, but it wasn't mutual.
-Oh I'm sorry.
-Don't be. I dated a guy in my first year at university but it didn't really work out. We kind of dated because we were the only gay person each other knew. We didn't have much in common.
Jisung nodded, not saying anything.
-What about you? Do you have a girlfriend or boyfriend?
Jisung looked up at him, nervous.
-No. But... I don't like girls. So it'd be a boyfriend, I guess.
It felt weird, coming out of his own mouth.
-Hmm... you've dated anyone before?
-No. I haven't even come out to anyone. Before now.
Minho stopped and turned to Jisung.
-Really? Well thanks for trusting me. I'm here if you wanna talk about it, you know I won't judge you.
A shy smiled appeared on the younger's face.
-Thank you Minho.
They started walking again, silently.
-So..., Minho began, Do you want a boyfriend?

Trailblazer
The story of a man who accidentally wrote another world into existence. Everyone breaks away from their mundane daily life in one way or another. Our protagonist, an unfortunate consequence of circumstance, being no different, often escaped the harsh reality of life by writing stories of an alternate world of swords and magic. Though he recognized the difference between reality and fantasy, he could've never imagined what would happen, when the line between the two blurred as lightning struck down from the skies, and his escapism fantasy became all too real... After he came to, he would soon learn that things in the other world aren't quite as he remembered them to be. The world he wrote of had become but a shadow of its former self. Albeit hesitant at first, he sets off on a quest to find out the secrets behind the Trails, yet even then, he can't help but wonder... Can he really bring his world back to its old glory? —————————— I have never written a story before in my life and now I'm doing so in a language I don't natively speak. Groundbreaking quality is probably not something to be expected, but I do my best to keep things readable. With the necessities out of the way, both constructive criticism and other suggestions are very much welcome, and I'll do my best to take them into account when writing future chapters.

Alternative Reality Vol. 1
Note: Sadly, all things must come to an end and Volume 1 has been officially completed. Since I have now published the whole volume on amazon and enrolled it into KDP select, I can no longer keep the book uploaded on other platforms as per their requirements. Apologies for the inconvenience. If, by any chance, you'd like to support me there, you can find the book here: https://www.royalroad.com/amazon/B07MRDFR7V What do you do when life‘s got you hunched on the ground, crying and screaming for your mother? When negativity and black humor is the only entertainment you‘re getting? You run away to a different world, of course! And it just so happened that one such world was available and open for the downtrodden and distraught. Alternative Reality - a virtual reality platform with a suspiciously unoriginal name, already established as the most life-like experience one could spend their time on and Luke had plenty of time to spare. Now? He’s more than just Luke, the social outcast. Now, he’s also Wail - a lunatic magician who plays with fire without the mental aptitude or sense of responsibility necessary to safely handle it. Add in a petty and spiteful character and the conditions for mayhem are fully satisfied. Join now and witness his adventures, while the world around burns with more than a bit of fault falling upon his downward sloping shoulders. Disclaimer! The book contains morally ambiguous choices, violence, arson, vandalism, unnecessarily satirical portrayal of religious zealotry, profanity, background forced labor that looms dangerously close to slavery and much, much more.
