They reached Neji's apartment.

For Gaara, there's nothing unusual about this gesture—he often wipes his face with his shirt during practice when he forgets his wristband. But to an outside observer, it might look like someone has gotten a little too comfortable and hasn't learned their lesson. Stepping on the same rake twice wouldn't be very wise, especially now that things are finally starting to work out, but Neji's reaction is basically: "Come on, are you serious right now?"

PS: It's not that the pants are sitting low—the rain just made them heavy. 🙌

We've made it to date #3 ❤️‍🔥

This time, the guys have finally warmed up enough to hang out without any distractions and actually talk.

The conversation drifts to dancing. Gaara mentions that he's back with a dance team and that they'll be performing at the Youth Day festival—right here in the same park they're walking through. From there, the conversation naturally shifts to K-pop.

Neji insists that Korean culture hasn't spread nearly as far as people claim—he's completely out of the loop. Gaara argues the opposite: music, dance, movies, food... Speaking of which, he decides it's time for Neji to try something.

"Meet the corn dog—the ultimate Korean street food classic. Eat it while it's hot, or it won't taste nearly as good."

"That sounds less inviting than vaguely threatening," Hyuga remarked, setting his drink aside.

Judging by the name and the way it looked, Neji expected some kind of battered hot dog on a stick. So after his first bite, he definitely wasn't prepared for the massive amount of melted cheese inside. It just kept stretching and stretching, no matter what he did, making the whole situation look both ridiculous and oddly entertaining. Gaara couldn't hide his amused grin, and when the last strand of cheese finally snapped, he kindly handed Neji a stack of napkins.

"You could've warned me about that little trap," Neji muttered, taking the napkins from him.

"Oh? I thought you'd figure out it had a cheese filling..."

"Naturally. A name made up of the words corn and dog clearly implies melted cheese wrapped in instant ramen."

Gaara insisted on talking, despite the heat. Hyuga lost his temper again: he grabbed him by the chest, trying to push him out. Oversized T—shirt, night outside, no one in the house. Gaara is in his bed, in his arms. And the thoughts that had been chasing Neji for a long time finally broke into action.
