@α Kwon Jiyong [YOU'RE NOT A TERRIBLE PERSON AT ALL SO HUSH, OMG I MISSED YOU TOO THOUGH /GLOMPS/]

Sanghyuk moved to Jiyong's seat, scooting closer to the elder and laying down next to him on his back so that he could peer up at the sky. "Now?" He hummed thoughtfully as he watched the few clouds in the sky move slowly in the same direction, making his eyelids feel heavier. His blinks became slower and held for a longer time as a yawn slipped through his lips. "Now I want to be with Ji Hyung," He said quietly, not really answering the question in his stare of half-sleep. He grabbed for the other's hand, lacing their fingers as he leaned his head against the other male's chest.

Sanghyuk was trying to keep himself awake, not wanting to fall asleep there. However, being close to Jiyong made him feel like home since often times when the boy couldn't sleep, he'd merely slip into the elder's bed– that was only if Jiyong wasn't already entertaining company. Now he was comfortable and happy from the day's events because he'd accomplished everything he wanted: spending time with his alpha, getting Jiyong to relax, building a sand castle he was proud of, and playing around in the water. As far as he was concerned, it was the best trip to the beach that he'd ever had. And before he knew it, his eyes were closed completely, and he was snoring quietly into Jiyong's skin.

@α Kwon Jiyong Banana flavored ice cream was Jiyong's favorite. Sanghyuk repeatedly over and over again in his mind, but he knew that it wouldn't help. He'd forget it in a few moments no matter how badly he didn't want to. He had tried many things to keep things in his head, but nothing ever worked. For a while now, Sanghyuk had thought about getting himself a notebook or a journal of some sort. He could write things down so that he'd never forget them. Well, he'd still forget, but at least he would be able to recall them after reading over what he wrote. It scared the younger male sometimes because he feared that he'd lose his memory completely, and nothing and no one would stick in his memory– not even Jiyong. "Mango?" He asked in defeat, already forgetting what Jiyong had said was his favorite because he'd let his mind wander.

The reason Sanghyuk liked giving Jiyong souvenirs was so that he would never be forgotten. It didn't matter how horrible his memory was, he knew that if he somehow left things behind, left an impact somehow on someone, he himself wouldn't be forgotten. "For you," he said with a nod of his head. He was surprised when Jiyong hugged him in gratitude, but that didn't stop the younger boy from hugging his alpha back. When Sanghyuk heard the word "collection", he first thought that Jiyong was talking about a seashell collection. However, he realized a moment later that he was in fact talking about the collection of souvenirs that Sanghyuk gave him after they spent time together. This brought a bright smile to the boy's lips as he beamed at the other man because that meant that Jiyong didn't throw what he gave him away. The older male actually kept it. He nodded quickly and repeated, "Memories."

[DON'T BE SORRY! YOU HAD STUFF TO DO, SWEETIE <333 HYUKKIE AND I AREN'T GOING ANYWHERE I PROMISE OMg]

@α Kwon Jiyong [AWW I FEEL THE LOVE *LOVES YOU BACK* *EVIL LAUGHS* MUAHAHAH BECAUSE HAN SANGHYUK IS A CUTE PIECE OF AND HE CAN DO CLICHE AND STILL LOOK CUTE AS HELL I DUN EVEN CARE THATS HES AN ADULT RIGHT NOW]

Sanghyuk paused on eating his ice cream when Jiyong was wiping the ice cream from his face. He realized how childish he was being and started being more careful as he at the ice cream again. "It's delicious! You like vanilla too, right, Hyung?" He asked, hoping Jiyong was happy still. When Sanghyuk saw the ice cream on the corner of Jiyong's lips, he tsked and shook his head with an endearing smile growing on his lips. "You're being messy too," He mumbled as he leaned forward to wipe the ice cream from the corner of Jiyong's lips. Instead of wiping it off, he just ate the ice cream from his thumb as he was a big disbeliever in wasting sweets like ice cream. He thought nothing of it, and the boy was so oblivious that he would never realize that such a gesture could have been taken the wrong way. He had no experience with anything of the sort, so he wouldn't know either way.

When there was only cone left, Sanghyuk munched on it happily, laying back in the chair peacefully as he watched the waves take over his and Jiyong's sand castles. He didn't mind because he now had pictures as proof. He had forgotten about the seashell until he felt it sticking him in the side, and he pulled it from his pocket when his cone was finished as well. Sanghyuk picked the marker up from his slightly opened bag, and he wrote the date on the inside of the seashell. Then underneath, he wrote a small 'J+S', so Jiyong would remember who gave it to him if he decided to keep it. Dropping the marker back into his bag, he smiled brightly and handed the seashell to Jiyong. "Here you go, Hyung. Isn't it pretty?"

@α Kwon Jiyong Sanghyuk's lips were tugged into a soft smile, kissing Jiyong's cheek when he agreed to let Sanghyuk go and retrieve their ice cream. His eyes widened when Jiyoung murmured something about running out of ice cream, and that was when Sanghyuk ran out of the water. He ran across the sand, grabbing his bag and running up to where the ice cream truck was so he could get at least a cone for him and Jiyong to share. He let out a sigh of relief when the vendor told him there was only vanilla cones left. Sanghyuk was fine with that, and he paid for the two cones, getting only one scoop on each so the children behind him could get ice cream as well.

His bag was on his arm, and he had a cone in each hand. He walked briskly, wanting to get the ice cream to Jiyong before it melted. While he walked, he some ice cream from his cone, oblivious to the ice cream now on his nose. He carefully set his bag down when he reached their umbrella again, and he waved for Jiyong to join him for his ice cream. In his chair, he crossed his legs and kept at his ice cream, steadily getting more and more on his face. He didn't try to be such a child, but it sort of just happened for him, being the awkward kid that he was. Sometimes he'd try hard to act mature for people, but Jiyong wasn't one of the people that he tried to change himself for. Jiyong liked him enough how he was, so he acted natural, leading him to do things such as getting ice cream on his face.

[OMO! OKAY OKAY, I'M SORRY COME LOVE ME OMG]

@α Kwon Jiyong [OH MY GOSH WAE *HIDES UNDER WATER*

@α Kwon Jiyong Sanghyuk laughed and held onto Jiyong when he was caught, beaming at him when his hand went through Sanghyuk's hair. Seeing Jiyong like this made his heart swell because these were the times that he knew he would remember. He'd remember being with Jiyong, feeling safe and protected, feeling loved and loving him. He'd remember seeing Jiyong let his wall down with Sanghyuk, showing him a side others didn't get to see. There was no way in hell Sanghyuk would ever forget this, no matter how horrible his memory was. He watched as Jiyong swam slowly around him, proud to be able to call this man hyung.

Sanghyuk had to admit that he didn't think they'd both have this much fun at the beach, but he was glad that they were. When Jiyong came back up from the water, Sanghyuk gasped at the sound of an ice cream truck approaching the beach. Sanghyuk almost leapt out of the water to run over and get himself and Jiyong an ice cream, but commands were one of the few things that didn't leave his memory. He'd been told to stay with Jiyong, so instead of rushing out of the water, he took Jiyong's hand and asked nicely, "Can I go get us some ice cream, Hyung? I brought money in my bag," He told the elder, not wanting him to pay for it. Sanghyuk waited for the older man's approval, keeping his hand in Jiyong's and humming contently at the warm and joyful atmosphere between the two of them.

@α Kwon Jiyong [I DON'T EVEN KNOW, YOU'RE CONTAGIOUS *SCREAMS AND SWIMS AWAY FROM YOU* ]

He held still so Jiyong could brush his wet hair from his eyes, eye smiling at his alpha when he could see him clearly again. "Yes, Ji Hyung!" He said, nodding even though he knew he'd forget it later and Jiyong would have to tell him again. He felt bad that he spent so much time with Jiyong sometimes because he knew it must have been hard for the alpha to look after him, especially since Sanghyuk had recently become an adult. Jiyong had to repeat things to get Sanghyuk to remember, he looked after him, and he even found him on several occasions when Sanghyuk had wandered off unknowingly. He was forever grateful to Jiyong, and he kept telling himself to give the older man a break. But he didn't want to stop spending time with him.

Sanghyuk nodded quickly. "What is it?" He asked, bouncing in the water in excitement. His eyes widened at Jiyong's tone, and as soon as he finished his sentence, Sanghyuk took off, trying his best to run through the thick water. He laughed to himself because he knew Jiyong would catch him sooner or later, but he still tried his best to move through the water to get away from the elder. When he felt Jiyong's scent get closer to him, he squealed and moved faster, diving into the water to try and swim away. When he came up for air, he laughed again at how nerve-wrecking this game was. This was one of the reasons that he loved Jiyong so much. Not only did the man let him get some of his childish wishes out, but he always knew how to entertain Sanghyuk and keep him happy.

@α Kwon Jiyong [I'M SORRY THIS IS SO LATE, BUT MY FEELS RIGHT NOW ARE KILLING ME. YOU'RE KILLING ME. *PULLS YOU WITH ME*]

Sanghyuk's bright smile appeared in seconds on his lips when Jiyong agreed. He took the elder's hand and jumped up happily. He ran into the water with him, splashing around like crazy, glad just to be able to cool off a bit from the sun. He sprang himself into Jiyong's arms when they were chest-deep in the water, holding onto him and smiling like a child at being able to play and swim. The clinginess and attachment that Sanghyuk felt for Jiyong was something that couldn't even cease during his excitement. He paid no mind to the people who watched them in curiosity and interest, only focused on the salt water and the man in front of him.

Sanghyuk let go of Jiyong and knelt down in the water, opening his eyes underneath the water to look for different things to take back home with him. The only thing he saw near him was a bluish-green seashell, so he picked it up and stood back up, his wet bangs in his eyes. He didn't bother pushing them out of the way as he examined the seashell closer and slipped it into his trunks pocket. His plan was to write the date they went to the beach later on and give it to Jiyong, so he'd have a souvenir. He always did things like that for Jiyong, but Sanghyuk was never sure that the man kept them. For all he knew, Jiyong trashed everything Sanghyuk gave him. That wouldn't stop him from doing it still.

@α Kwon Jiyong [I CAN'T WITH THESE GUYS MAN DON'T DIE!! OMG]

Sanghyuk was oblivious to the older male moving closer to him each time someone walked by. He glanced over with a bright smile when he saw Jiyong start to play in the sand as well, knowing that his inner soft side was coming out now that he was calm. Sanghyuk loved this side of Jiyong the most, though he rarely was allowed to see it. He wasn't sure if many people had ever seen it, but he was grateful to be one of the lucky ones who did. When he finished his own castle, he took his cellphone from the bag and snapped a picture, making sure to get Jiyong's castles as well. He then took a picture of Jiyoung playing in the sand. He grinned down at his phone, saving the pictures happily. He knew he'd probably never show them to anyone, but he would look at them himself if he ever missed Jiyong or was far from him.

Sanghyuk's mind started to wander, as it usually did, and he looked around with a quiet hum in his throat. He smiled at the child playing and people running around. He felt good, and he was glad he was able to convince Jiyong to come with him. He didn't think the elder would ever admit to liking it much, but Sanghyuk could tell he was relaxed. He leaned against the older male and smiled at him sweetly. "Will you go in the water with me?" He asked quietly, leaning his cheek on Jiyong's shoulder as he looked at him. Sanghyuk knew earlier he was told that Jiyong wouldn't splash or play with him, but he also told him not to bring the toys to the beach either and ended up playing with them. He always left things up to chance when it came to Jiyong. "Please?" He kissed his shoulder as if to get him to agree faster.

@α Kwon Jiyong Sanghyuk knew that Jiyong understood that he had no one except him and the other Western pack of wolves. Sanghyuk guessed that was one of the reasons that Jiyong also gave in to him and also seemed to want to protect him. And the younger boy was more than grateful for that. He'd do anything for Jiyong, and he knew the older male understood that as well. He'd been scolded a few times for merely smiling after Jiyong snapped at him or yelled at him. Apparently the alpha felt as if Sanghyuk should have stuck up for himself or at least yelled back at Jiyong. But Sanghyuk couldn't do something like that after everything the elder male had done for him. He loved Jiyong more than anyone else, and he looked up to the older man. He wasn't sure if Jiyong knew that much, but it wasn't much of a secret, and he didn't try to hide it either way.

It seemed that Sanghyuk was just hugging Jiyong, but he had his head on his chest to listen to the man's heartbeat. He needed to know that Jiyong had calmed down. The heartbeat was still accelerated, but at least it was a lot calmer now than it was only a few moments before. "Yes, I'll stay by you," He agreed, knowing he would because he wouldn't go against what Jiyong told him to do. The elder didn't even have to be an alpha to gain such respect from the younger boy because Sanghyuk would have loved him and respected him regardless. Sanghyuk sat up when Jiyong's heartbeat seemed to go back to normal, kissing the man's cheek and crawling out of his lap to finish working on his sand castle. Sanghyuk knew that Jiyong would stay there with him to make sure that he was okay, but it didn't stop the younger male from glancing at him every now and then to make sure he was still beside him. At one point, Sanghyuk even reached for Jiyong's hand, just to know that the man was there and to make sure his mind wasn't playing tricks on him.

@α Kwon Jiyong Jiyong had come over quicker than Sanghyuk could get up, and he watched as his leader grabbed the strange man's wrist aggressively. Even though the man had been bothering Sanghyuk, he knew how angry Jiyong could get, and worry ran through his veins as he stood up. Being an omega, he halfway hid himself behind Jiyong out of instinct. Sanghyuk gently slipped his hand into Jiyong's free hand, stepping closer to the male. He could hear and sense people in the background catching onto what was happening. The man seemed to want to argue with Jiyong for a moment until Sanghyuk shook his head. As if the man understood the danger he was in, he swallowed hard and started to back away, pulling his wrist free from Jiyong's hold.

Sanghyuk let out a sigh of relief when the man was out of Jiyong's reach, but he felt guilty now. He had wanted Jiyong to feel relaxed yet now the older man was just as tense as before. Sanghyuk knew he was still heated, and he kissed Jiyong's shoulder to remind him that he was there and everything was okay. "Hyung..?" He asked quietly, making sure that the elder male was calming down. He squeezed his hand lightly and kissed his should again before calmly sitting in the sand and pulling Jiyong down next to him. When Jiyong was sitting, Sanghyuk climbed into his lap and hugged him. "Hyung..."

@α Kwon Jiyong Despite the fact that Jiyong had basically snapped at him, Sanghyuk gave him a soft smile. He knew Jiyong was a softie on the inside, and he usually didn't mean it when he went off on Sanghyuk. Jiyong was the only person who could never hurt Sanghyuk's feelings, which caused a lot of confusion for other people since Sanghyuk was overly sensitive towards everyone else. He sat still as he was told, watching Jiyong put the smelly aide on him to protect him from the sun. "I'll only get in the water if Hyung comes with me," he told Jiyong, knowing fully well that he'd go in the water alone. Many times, Sanghyuk just wanted Jiyong to interact with him. It wasn't that he minded being alone because he didn't. But he liked having the company of the older male, and he liked it when the elder agreed to playing with him.

When Jiyong was finished, Sanghyuk sprang out of his seat, grabbing his bag. He took the little beach toys out, and he dropped down in the warm sand to begin making a sand castle. He'd been dreaming about this all winter, and he could finally perfect it now. He was far enough away from the water this time, so it wouldn't get ruined before he could take a picture. He knew it was childish, but he couldn't remember his childhood– so he got out his childish wishes now while he was still young enough. He was so focused on the formation of his castle that he didn't take notice of the shadow lurking over him. He looked up to see the man that had been staring at him before. His eyes narrowed as the man asked Sanghyuk to come with him. "No," the boy mumbled, wishing only for the man to go away when he felt him grab at his arm. "Yah!"

@α Kwon Jiyong Sanghyuk's grin was wide as he looked around the beach. There weren't many people present despite how nice the weather was, but he didn't mind because he felt awkward around people he didn't know anyway. Jiyong was there with him to keep him company as well. After a full day of pleading with the alpha, he finally gave in to Sanghyuk's pouts and cute smiles, agreeing to take him to the beach. Sanghyuk wanted Jiyong to enjoy himself as well, knowing that his leader could be so tense sometimes. He put their chairs down, hung their towels over the backs of the chairs, and he stuck the large sun umbrella into the sand so that it shaded their chairs. When he was finished, he took Jiyong's hand and pulled him down into one of the chairs while he sat in the other. Sanghyuk was all smiles as he reached into his bag and pulled out sunscreen. He poured some into his hand and took Jiyong's arm, starting to put sunscreen on the older male for him. "Isn't this nice, Hyung? I told you it would be nice!" The only unpleasant thing about it for Sanghyuk was the male only a few feet away from them. It appeared he had a staring problem since he couldn't seem to keep his eyes off of the younger male. However, he tried to ignore, only glancing up at the man a few times warily as he continued putting sunscreen on Jiyong.
