⚓ Fisherman's Dock

@⚓ Jinki ( its okay. congratulations for graduating though! c: )

the ship was rocking side to side, back and forth, the parcels and pails of fishes were sliding to the back and front of the ship. sunyoung got so sea sick, she was about to puke - but thank god she's a doctor and she held on her pills that cure dizziness. the fishermen were having breakdowns, some were yelling in vain, some were already lying face flat on the face like they just don't care anymore.

a few moments later, the pixie haired girl thought there's no use to yell for help, but she hopes someone does come and save them. "is everything okay?!" she heard someone calling out. looking down to the side of the ship, she saw jinki, staring up at her with a concerned face but she wasn't exactly expecting him to actually come out in this type of weather. "not really!" the storm was really loud, even her shout was covered. she quickly threw a rope down for the latter to climb up, hoping the male friend will help them out in this hopeless situation.

@⚓ Sunyoung [SH] {{Apologies for super late reply! Been busy with graduation etc etc. But I'm here now!}}

The sea was rough tonight. If anyone was out there tonight, it was fair to say they were an idiot. Onew shivered, wrapping his arms around himself, forcing himself not to imagine being on a boat out there. If he did, he was sure his lighthouse balcony floor would be graced with newly regurgitated spew. It was fair to say Onew wasn't a big fan of boats. Oh sure he liked to look at them and admire their craftsmanship. But sailing on them? Well, he'd have to be tied up with a knife to his throat to be forced onto one. And even then.

Onew relaxed, sure that he'd have an easy job tonight. There couldn't be an idiot on this planet who'd volunteer to sail out in this weather. He spoke too soon. The beam of his lighthouse had just passed over a shape crashing on the waves. He squinted, looking and waiting for the light to catch it again. There it was. A ship! Onew sighed, not believing what he was seeing. The ship was fairly close to the dock, however. If it followed his light, it would get in fine and everyone could relax.

But the wind carried up sounds of shouting and screaming and Onew's calmness had evaporated. Was everyone alright? Had someone been hurt? He swallowed hard, not knowing what to do. He glanced down from the lighthouse, across the beach in the off case that someone else was there who could help. Nope. It was only just him. With a gulp, Onew forced some courage into himself, hurried down from the lighthouse, grabbing his coat on the way, and ran down to the dock.

Now that he was down here, the boat looked further away... and bigger. He couldn't shout or, very well, do anything from here. So, in a split second decision, he muttered to anyone who might be listening, "please forgive me." and clambered onto one of the rowing boats attached to the dock. Despite his jolting stomach, he stilled himself enough to untie the boat and grab the oars, sailing as best as he could - though it wasn't particularly effective - towards the boat in distress.

Though, he soon found out that he was the one in distress. The waves shook him and swatted him, his stomach very close to bubbling up his throat. But he focused on the ship that was gradually getting closer, though his hair was now plastered wet from the waves and his clothes soaked to his bones, and kept sailing towards it. "Is everything okay?!" He called up when he reached the vessel, feeling like a small mouse next to the size of the boat. Thankfully, when he'd opened his mouth, he hadn't just spewed up. But he had been very close to it.

@⚓ Jinki ( i'm doing it here btw c: )

being on the ship was sickening for everyone, but somehow some residents don't feel so. going out in the salty waters, the ship sailed further from shore. though here's the catch, they were fishing in the night. because sun young doesn't want them to get hurt or anything, she felt that maybe she could go on the boat to help out with injuries or some sort. she spotted the light house from a far, and her heart trembled. "jinki.." her mind chimed with her own voice, and she instantly thought back to the blind date they had.
"hey, girl! this stupid idiot just got his hook stuck in his foot," a fishermen called out, pointing towards a middle-aged man screaming in pain. the female sighed loudly, taking her medical supplies towards the man.

@⚓ Jun.K One second, the captain was demanding he help pull the boat to dock, the next he was screaming for him to help him up. Conflicted as to what to do, Onew's eyes darted between the man and the rope in his hands. In a split second decision, he quickly wrapped the rope around a nearby rock so that the boat wouldn't float away - not that he expected it to anyway, what with the fact it was wedged in between rocks - and ran to the man.

"Looks like you're worse off than the boat," Onew commented innocently before slipping his arms underneath the man's underarms and began hoisting him up, out from between the rocks.

Onew took one look at the man's ankle through the dark air and the wet rain and winced. It looked twisted and definitely not able to stand on. Pulling the man's arm over his shoulder, Onew wrapped his arm around his back and pulled him on his feet. "Can you hop or do I have to carry you?"

{{BROOOOOMAANCE!!}}

@❊ Jinki Apparently this coward was at least strong enough to help him pull , the boat finally seemed to winced out
Of the rocks , otherwise his jaw dropped at the huge gash that appeared on his boat , groaning angrily as he steadily attempted to move along over the slippery rocks over to the dock. " come one we need to get it to the dock and secure it for the night " he shouted, rain trailing down at him , making the two men soaking wet. So much or that expensive outfit of his , he sighed , and all of a sudden his foot slipped and he fell down , one foot getting stuck in between two rocks , twisted " darn! eeeey !!!! You ! Help me here !! " Minjun yelled feeling his ankle ache in numerous pain , the spiky sides of the rocks pointing at him . He had never expected it to turn out like this . He being me stuck in between se rocks and his boat had earned a gash on a stormy night ! to be the King now.

@❊ Jun.K Onew instantly regretted approaching the boat when the captain started shouting at him. He opened his mouth, about to explain about the incident with the tea, but quickly closed it, realising that, perhaps that wouldn't help him at all.

As soon as Onew had climbed aboard the ship, he felt queasy. Despite the fact that the vessel was wedged in the rocks it had crashed in to, it still rocked with the waves. And Onew was /not/ a good sailor. He'd watch boats, sure; but he'd never ride one. Not unless the sailors wanted the fresh, acid smell of spew on their vessel. Onew liked his feet firmly on the ground. The lighthouse was the closest he's ever get to a boat.

Until now that was. Turning away sharply, Onew cupped his hand over his mouth and closed his eyes, trying to calmly breathe in the salty, sea air. That always calmed him down. He didn't risk responding to the man incase just simply opening his mouth would make him sick.

So Onew was incredibly overjoyed when he demanded Onew help him pull the boat ashore and threw a rope at him before jumping off the vessel into the water below. That was Onew's cue to depart.

He eagerly threw the rope off the side the boat, proceeding to climb after it before gripping ahold of it, a now slippery and wet rope, and pull on it with all his might, following the directions of the captain.

Sloshing back in the water with clumping feet, Onew gripped hard on the rope, watching the boat as it shifted and groaned under the strain of moving. He winced at the sound of cracking as the boat finally moved, the rocks tearing at it, biting a gash along its side, as it heaved passed.

That was even more damage he would have to pay for.

@☼ Hamin Hongbin could only laugh when he was pushed away. He guessed that he deserved it, after all he had the others neck. It was his own fault and he didn't take any offense from the others actions. "It's fine, and I won't. But it's so hard, you're such a cutie!" He complimented jokingly, patting him on the shoulder. Pushing his bangs away from his pretty face, he tilted his head up. "Don't hide~ Your blush is adorable." He complimented him. Watching the other obediently copy his action made him smile, until he bit down on his finger. Gasping, he pulled his finger out of his own mouth and immediately asked, "Are you okay? Be careful and don't hurt yourself!" He scolded gently, taking his hand and gently massaging the bitten finger. Still, despite all his worry he couldn't help but smile at the others cute action. He wanted to lean forward and kiss him because of how cute he was. He really couldn't help himself around him. "It's not dangerous, you just ate too much at one time. Here, this is how much you should eat." Scooting his chair even closer to him, he sat down and used Hamins spoon to scoop up a small amount. "Eat it slowly as well." He said, holding up the spoon for him and trying to feed the other.

@❊ Hongbin Hamins pain could be described as a knife , slicing straight a nice line starting from his forehead , downwards to the tip of his nose , the pain spreading outwards to his cheeks. " ah it hurts " he hisses , before reacting slightly in surprise by the male standing up with a napkin , wiping some ice cream from his face . The brunette was about to day his thanks but was completely unaware of the fact that the male leant down, sticking out his tongue and locked up the rest of melting ice cream from his neck and upper chest , making the boy shiver, biting his lip before pushing the boys head away as in a reflex , gasping before realising that I might be taken as rude . " sorry sorry I didn't mean to push your head , I just got shocked and and ." His mood changed " don't so dirty stuff like that ! It's embarrassing " he whined as he felt his cheeks turning red and instantly looked down hiding his face under his long bangs , before the male cupped his chin up, which was kinda shivery , come to think of hongbins cold and anonymous fingers . Without even thinking it through , as he looked at hongbin sticking his thumb up to the top part of his inner mouth , the male attempted the same , honestly not understanding why it would help , so as earlier said , not by thinking , the male attempted to ask why before realising that he bit his own thumb , and immediately taking the thumb out he whined slightly at the sudden self paining action . " t-think ice cream is dangerous for me to eat ." He said sadly .

@❊ Jinki He must get out of there somehow. He carefully bent over to see where he had got stuck and as hard it has become to see . He confirmed with his own eyes that his boat has indeed crashes into a bash of rocks, and if most likely to his fear of his beloved boat , it has gotten a bulk, maybe even worse , hole . The man felt frustration boil inside of him , cursing out to the thin air as he couldn't do less more than to tie up his boat to the rocks so it wouldn't leave and get out of the boat quickly in hope to find a way back to the shore and see if he actually could find out if he was close or not ? Come to think of it . Didn't there live a man in charge of the light house ? That were supposed to keep that old tower working ? Out of what the young king could see this man obviously didn't a good job , even worse , to his slack of work, that responsible man dos wreck his boat! Not directly yet close enough to give him the part of the blame. Minjun glanced up noticing a small figure far away in the distance , coming closer to his direction. All to his surprise and even better , to his suspicion. The man said sorry , which only meant, that he was the light house keeper. " eeeey !!! Stop saying your sorties and get your lousy up here and help me get this back to the shore ! " he snarled angrily as he threw a piece of rope to the other male and climbed out of the boat and started to drag along with another piece of rope. This man should be lucky that Jun.K is not the violent type .

@❊ Jun.K It was a dark night, the waves stormy and beastly, white froth billowing up with every crash against the rocks. Onew, stood at the top of the lighthouse, was glad to have the light during that particular night. It was wet and cold and the light was the only warmth the night ever got.

Far off in the distance, Onew could see the outline of a ship approaching the shore as the light passed over it. The sea was rough that particular night so he hoped that the sailor could handle his vessel well.

Onew cupped his tea in his palm, pacing around the top of the lighthouse, enjoying these deep dark nights. Tea was always his companion in these moments. And then it wasn't.

Not looking where he was going, Onew tripped, the tea flying out of his hands and in the direction of the lightbulb, the cup smashing against it and the liquid drenching it. He swore. Then Onew heard a crackle. The lightbulb hissed and flickered. Onew swore underneath his breath, running towards it to somehow save it. But it was too late. The bulb burst, the light snapping out and he was plunged into darkness.

Damn it! Onew could try and fix the light but he wouldn't be able to get a replacement bulb until the morning. And there were more urgent issues.

Pacing, Obew ran fingers through his chair, unsure what to do. Then, in a split second decision, he fumbled his way to the stairway, hurrying down the steps and running out of the lighthouse. He slipped down the path that led to the beach and fled across the sand.

"Hey!" He called, waving is hands as his feet clapped against the wood of the dock, running down it. He was waving in the general direction of where he'd seen the boat, hoping that, through some miracle, the caption could see him and use him as a guide post and sail the boat safely into shore.

That hope was crushed when he heard the crack of wood against rocks and knew that the boat had crashed. Swearing underneath his breath, Onew debated what to do. If he went and helped out, the captain would surely hate him for causing the lighthouse to go out. But if he left them, then Onew would feel even more guilty than he already had.

Making the decision, Onew waded out in the water to the boat. "Sorry!" He called, feeling the bow of the boat and climbing up the side of it. In that moment, Onew was glad the boat wasn't sailing. He wasn't in the mood to be seasick.

@☼ Hamin He knew that perhaps he should give the boy a break. He was making him far too nervous, but he couldn't help himself. It was so fun to . Hongbin laughed when he looked up and saw that the other had brain freeze. He knew it would happen eventually since it was his first time eating it and since he had taken so much within his first bite. Leaning over with a napkin he cleaned up the dribble, his face awfully close to the boys neck. Even though he had denied his previous offer he decided to tease the other a bit. Dipping his head down he up from where the remainder of the ice cream was threatening to stain his shirt all the way up to his jaw. With a smirk he pulled back, wiping the rest off with his napkin. "There." He said, before cupping the others chin to lift up his head. "Do this, it'll help." He opened his mouth and pushed his thumb against the roof of it to demonstrate. Afterwards he started his ice cream, taking far smaller scoops. Hongbin didn't know why but he loved to tease the other. Perhaps it was because of how pure and innocent he seemingly was. He couldn't help but want to tamper with his innocence.

@❊ Hongbin " oh eh .... " he paused not used to the so called flirting the man did , the cute charming smile and the winning , and this addictive way of speaking the older man had . It just fave hamin shivers by hearing hongbin use the flirty voice . As hamin decided to call it . " I'll be fine without , thanks for the offer " he stuttered shyly , taking a grip onto his cape , holding tight On to it as nervous as he was . As Hongbin took out something from an invention hamin had seen rich people had that he wasn't sure of what was , apparently some sort of item that kept things cold and out a box of a triplet coloured ice cream . And he placed two bowls on the table with a spoon as he made small balls out of the substance and placed them onto the bowl and served it . Hamin took the spoon and carefully scooped a piece , maybe far too big as expected and carefully swooped the spoon into his mouth , realising how soft this was and the three different tastes of chocolate , vanilla and strawberry melted to his mouth. Swallowing it he smiled . " it's good !" He concluded happily before feeling a slight hit near his forehead , as it was some sort of instant headache , or as some people had called it according to the rumours of ice cream . Brain freeze was it called , the boy lost the spoon to the table and places a hand over his forehead , not realising that some of the ice cream still was hanging onto the corner of his lips , slowly trailing downwards his face to his neck . And down it kept trailing , down his shirt , giving the boy shivers even more .

@❊ Jinki On a stormy night, waves being wilder than the animals of the jungles , growling loudly as their claws out of water grabbed onto the piece of wood, rocking the boat back and forth on to its wave . The salty drops of the rain blinding his vision as the young king struggling to keep on track with the route , losing direction of home. Lousily he felt onto the steering wheel, losing grip as it was quite slippery on the boat and he felt that the grip he thought at first was strong yet the strength of it started to loosened up. If his sense of direction was right it wouldn't be long till he reached the dock. All he needed to search for now was a small pitch of sign , a little glimpse of light from the lighthouse. Minjun couldn't remember last time the weather has been so windy since when perhaps his brothers were travelling together . However that event occurred years ago. Which reminded him of the reason he were out on an evening like this in the first place . The young man had as his occupation requires a business trip between his the islands of the family , visiting the youngest out of his three brothers , over a dinner. Of course discussing formalities between the seven island kingdoms and the seaside territory which was quite the fund. Honestly dinner likes these were quite dull for the adventurous king. Wanting to spare his time quite more practically then just using dinner as an excuse for discussing business when he easily could do that without being fed with badly roasted beef with some sort of low quality wine and stiff old chairs as furniture. Which reminded him of telling his brother to get the hang of himself and plan his visit more tactically. There was a reason for why Minjun was labeled the smart one out of the four sons. " now , where is the light ?" He thought to himself, eyes searching for any source of sign or a glimpse of the light house , which he noticed by surprise in just frankly two seconds . He tried to steer the boat towards its direction yet turning the wheel was quite the job , gritting his teeth, the male tried to drag the wheel with both hands , with no luck as the storm made him lose control . The boat kept swinging at both directions, as the waves had captured it, making the boat get quite the jump, which leases to an accidently slip on the deck and the young king hit it with his bottom . " d-darn.... " he growled annoyingly as he grabbed the wheel with both hands pulling himself up yet with some resistance he attempted to turn the wheel to the right , by barely seeing anything, " where the heck is the light !!! I can't see it " Minjun by surprise heard a crack and for some reason , just any way he tried to steer it wouldn't move as his boat got stuck into something . Hurrying over to see over from the deck , he noticed that his boat has run into some spiky rocks . Making him stuck. Sinking down, tearing his hair in frustration, a fist curled up as he threw a fist into the wood and shouted in annoyance " good dammit !!! When I get the one responsible for this he gonna pay ! "

@☼ Hamin Hongbin couldn't help but laugh. The other wasn't wrong, and the fact that he had trailed off and should probably feel offended only made it all that funnier to the male. "Yes, I have quite a lot of experience. And if you'd ever like to experience my tongue again all you have to do is ask." He said, smirking and winking at the other. He couldn't help but be a flirt. It was in his nature. He was glad that the other accepted his apology, it took a bit of a weight off his shoulders. Luckily, Hongbin hadn't noticed the others drooling otherwise he would have pestered the other for hours to tell him what he had been thinking about. He'd probably mistake it for something that had to do with himself, even though it did. The taller male smiled back, opening his fridge to take out a carton of ice cream. He figured that the other wouldn't care about the flavor, so he took out some Neapolitan. It was good choice, since he could experience three flavors at once. Killing three birds with one stone. He scooped out plenty into both bowls, grabbing a spoon for each of them. Carrying the bowls to the table after putting the ice cream away, he sat down and handed Hamin his bowl. "Enjoy." He said, giving him a dimpled smile.

@❊ Hongbin The boy glances down, staring at his feet , he realised first now how ugly they were as he never really remembered having scars even there from his past , only replying awkwardly to his statement of apology about making it up for someone " oh ehm I presume you are pretty experienced compared to my self when it comes to and touching. You seemed quite handy with the tongue of ehm...." He stuttered , cutting himself from saying that as he knew it would be taken wrong " I mean . Quite ehm ... " the boy just turned around away from the male , blinking for a few moments as he bit his bottom lip largely embarrassed about his way of acting and walked over to a chair nearby and just sat down without saying anything or well he just stayed a little quiet . " but thanks for the apology I really appreciate it . " he said shyly as he covered his face under his hood . Not even daring to look into those huge eyes of his . Literally resembling a cats adorable captivating stare. And to be honest hamin had a weak spot for cats or cute animals in general , almost ually attracted to them ? Was that weird to think ? Like their silky fur , huge eyes , puffy paws, the cats flawless way of moving so gracefully and of course the y purring . The young boy shock his head as he almost felt something sliding down from the corner of his lips . Was he drooling ???? Omg so gross !!!! And even more problematic so embarrassing ! The boy wipes away the spit from his face with his sleeve and tried to stop imagining hongbin as a cat . " sorry for my awkwardness but ehm ........ Let's eat some ice cream " the boy said enthusiastically with a huge fake snake planted on his face trying to avoid the previous subject .

@☼ Hamin Hongbin smiled. He considered the inside of his house to be cozy. It wasn't much, and it was a bit cluttered, but it was his home. He had more books than he'd ever read, tons of pictures taken by himself, and a guitar stashed in a corner of the living room. He walked in as well, taking off his shoes. "Yes. I loved the sea ever since I was little. Hence my job." He said, a bit of proudness in his smile. Hongbin brushed by him, walking into his kitchen to grab a few bowls so he could give the other some ice cream like he had promised. But when he turned and heard his apology he nearly dropped the bowls in his hands. Hongbin didn't know what to say. He couldn't remember the last time someone had given him a genuine apology such as he just did. Literally. It was odd, and soon a strange awkwardness was filling the air. "I-It's fine. You don't have to apologize because I've done some pretty stupid stuff to you as well. I guess..I apologize as well." His was far less wordy and detailed than the others, but it wasn't any less sincere. He supposed that was what truly counted? "I'm sorry for..was that ual harassment?" He asked, not completely sure. Since he felt the need to apologize for it he supposed it was. He worried his lip, before turning abruptly and placing the bowls on the counter. Looking down, he then hung his head a bit before saying, "I'm sorry for touching you like that. I shouldn't have. Especially since you're a.." He trailed off, not exactly the best at apologizing. "I'd like to make it up to you but..usually when I make something up for others it's through a ual act." He grinned, chuckling dryly.

@❊ Hongbin As the male opened the door , the first that stole hamins attention was the many objects of this shack having some sort of ocean feeling to it , like different pictures of different objects such as starfish , sea horse , different fishes , and lots of books around. It was quite cozy to be honest , despite its run down look from the outside . He actually liked how he decorated the shack . " Its quite nice in here" he said taking off his slippers and just carefully glanced around , being immediately fascinated by his collection of books. " you must really have a fascination for the sea right ? " he asked and looked over at hongbin . Finding his interest quite different of what he expected from a . Actually he seemed pretty , well how to put it, pretty peaceful and quite decent according to the impression his private home gave. Maybe his impression about hongbin at first was completely wrong . He did after all steal from hongbin at first . And hongbin on the other hand did do some terrible , ruining personal-space actions. Yet , hamin must admit he was a little bit charming , like his smile was really captivating , and well... He didn't know it's just , hamin has always been really shy and scared when it came to ual topics, actions . He didn't like people touching him , the young boy was even scared for hugs , but hongbin managed to make the boy comfortable enough to joke back and even hold the man around his arm , and well hamin was kinda embarrassed yet , he was after all still young . And . And even more complicating with his mind . He never really asked himself about what kind of gender he likes . The only woman in his life is his best friend Dara, and for some particular reason he couldn't understand was the fact of way he reacted towards men. Quite unusual really . Yet hongbin is or seems to be a kind man. The male turned towards him , with big eyes he said yet so serious " I apologise for everything that happened today , that I stole from you and insulted you. I'm sorry if I hurt you in some way and my behaviour has been pretty idiotic towards you . Thanks for giving me room for the night and for being kind to me . "

@☼ Hamin Hongbin was never really embarrassed about his house, despite its rundown look. It was his precious home. He thought for a moment, thinking about the flavors he liked. "I like vanilla and strawberry. Those are two desperate flavors. And there's hundreds. Plenty for you to choose from." He smiled at him, before walking up the steps and holding the door open for him. "Come on in."

@❊ Hongbin Hmm.. he thought, looking at the shack, looking how its painting was flaking from the wood, as it kinda needed a few to look at least nicer, and the flowers needed a definitely proper work on. Flowers were meant to be tended nicely and get water after their requirement, of course, at a kingdom surrounded by water it wouldn`t be a hard quest. Thinking of it, how could they prosess and make ice in the first place, considering the high temperatures around every land. It was quite fascinating how nobles, royals and basically people considered high in the system could create such a consistence. Especially with different flavours! “ So whats your favorite ice cream?” he asked, raising an eyebrow as curious as he was. “ And how many tastes are there?”

@☼ Hamin Hongbin nodded, understanding completely and agreeing. It was odd to see desert people in this kingdom. Especially around water. The taller male had a job that meant he had to be swift, strong, and smart. For if he lacked in any of these areas he would ultimately fail. Letting him hold onto him, he thought about his question for a moment. "Not really. But then again it depends. If you want a nicer one in the city then yes, but if you were looking for a shack like mine most people would be glad to get rid of it and would give you a small price." He said, remembering how his price had been incredibly small. But perhaps that was because he had a one night stand as well with the owner.

@❊ Hongbin When he first consumed he would hit the ground and groan in pain, some arms were catching him, holding him and helping him up on his feet again. “ Y-yeah.. was just some ty water there… Not really my strong point as you probably know by now.” He chuckled and felt a little dash of embarrassment of actually being so clumsy around him, especially considering the fact that he was indeed pretty swift, and balanced in usual. Indeed, water wasn`t his strong point as he was surrounded by sand every day, which was most likely preferred now. “ Is a house expensive around here? “ he asked as he started to walk calmly, actually deciding to hold onto the male for support.

@☼ Hamin His house wasn't much, but it was better than what most had. The plants littering his front lawn were either dying or seemed like they were trying to consume his poor little shack. When he saw the other beginning to slip he quickly grabbed him, making sure to steady him so he didn't fall. "Woah! Are you okay?" He asked, looking at the other with a concerned gaze.

@❊ Hongbin «ooh … sounds good ! « the boy smiled, and directed his attention to the house the male was pointing at. It looked pretty neat really, cosy and probably bigger compared to his tent. He and dara never complained though, it was after all their home for most of their life. But having a house didn`t seem really bad either though. Come to think of it, what was dara doing at a time as this? Stealing money and clothes again? Typical what she called it, shopping? The boy shook his head, and suddenly he felt his foot slip onto something, something slippery. “ waaaaah !” He felt his body was about to fall backwards.

@☼ Hamin Here it was kind of common, well at least for him. People just gave him money half the time, probably hoping that this would increase his liking in them by even the smallest amount. "Well, it's sweet and there are a lot of different flavors. It's very good and it's made of milk mostly." Hongbin was now coming near a few of the other houses around, before he pointed at his. The paint was chipped, and it seemed to be slightly separate from the other houses. "Lets have some ice cream, I can teach you some ways people tend to eat it." This was going to be fun.

@❊ Hongbin ”Well fruit is good, and fish is ok… I-ice cream?? Is that the summer treat noble rich people eat? I never managed to try it before, not that I eat any ty rich mans food, but it always built up a wonder in me, on what they do taste? What is it made of? Is it good?” he asked, eyes widened as they blinked in curiousity as they wandered, now noticing a pair of houses around, tree built houses placed nicely onto the beach landscape on the mountains, To be honest, this place looked really pretty, and much bigger compared to the camp, and one house could room the same as three tents. ”Which house is yours?” he asked, actually wanting to get inside as soon as possible since he was freezing and his hooded cape didn`t give much warmth. So the boy naturally searched warmth in his arm, clinging onto the male only as a search for warmth.

@☼ Hamin Hongbin nodded, not at all minding the others stuttering. It was cute. "I'll try." He answered, smiling reassuringly at him. The taller male almost wished he wasn't traumatized, because of he wasn't he could be just like him. And it wasn't something that most people would be proud of, but Hongbin could easily imagine taking him under his wing. He could show him all the techniques he learned over the years, how to moan convincingly even if the other , or how to avoid getting caught in a relationship after ing someone who was clingy. It'd be a dream. "Not really. I have lots of fruit, some ice cream and junk, and tons of fish."

@❊ Hongbin ”Okay…. And .. ehm thanks.. I guess…. ” he replied a little stuttering, shocked over how dedicated the man seemed to be over Hamin, giving him nice compliments, really getting as much as he can to prove to the thief that he was a faithful man. But could really Hamin trust this man? ” J-just calm down your …. ” he spoke lowly, feeling embarassed over all the attention he got. Seriously if dara saw Hamin trying to handle this man she would point at him and laugh over how much red and shy he was. This was totally out of nature for him, but this was also a field required by skilled experienced people. Not a wimp like himself, being a golden string , who gets scared over ual touches, except if he is drunk it seemed, trying to forget the one night he and dara… Well not even try to speak of it Hamin! ”Soooo what is there to eat at your place? It is far away from here? ”

@☼ Hamin Hongbin stared down at him, a little shocked by all the bluntness. His first thought was that that life must have really . But then he couldn't help but smile, glad that he was at least not one person's type. It was sort of refreshing almost. "I don't want to you so badly, I honestly don't. But I don't know..sometimes the way I speak gives off that impression." When the other insulted himself Hongbin stopped, turned, and grabbed him by the shoulders. "You are none of those things. Now, this might mean nothing to you but just listen. You are cute, smart, and important. You matter to some, if not a lot of, people." He pat the others cheek, before backing up a few steps. "And I promise I won't try to have with you or do ual things. Okay?"

@❊ Hongbin “hmm.. I wonder… It would be nice to explore… One day.. “ he spoke, a little spaced out before the other spoke another ual related question. The other thought a little. “Well, I was almost when I was a child, and it has traumatized me for life, so I`m not really social around people, I only have my partner in crime, and our faithful leader as my closest friends, but I look at them as more siblings than lovers really. So it just takes some time for me to open myself up, open my heart to someone to trust, and heck no will I ever a noble… It would only bring me back to that day, I just shiver of fear whenever someone tries to touch me or do ual stuff with me.. So I rather stay than traumatized for life. Yet, I do hope one day.. I find one… Oh and hongbin… its as simple as that, you`re not really my type.. I believe… And why do you wanna me so badly?” He asked, raising an eyebrow, raising his head up a little curious.. “ I`m not that attractive.. I`m simply just a filthy thief…..” he said shyly, not really liking the compliments. “

@☼ Hamin Hongbin simply smiled, glancing at the other. He didn't want to argue so he didn't reply, though the look he gave him said that he still thought his sounds were adorable. When he looked back down at the other he was surprised, but didn't pull his arm away. He let him do as he pleased, hardly listening to him as his mind automatically started thinking of all the ways to get him into bed. Dammit. He really needed to get out of the e mindset, it was going to ruin any chance he had of a regular friendship with someone. He was brought back by the others voice, and Hongbin looked out at it as if he was thinking. "Either land or more ocean. Maybe another civilisation or kingdom." He couldn't stop his chuckle, looking down at the other male. "How are you still a ? If you lived here someone would have ed your cute ages ago. Especially if you're nuzzling their arm and being all cute and cuddly. Remind me again why I'm not allowed to you?" He asked, needing a reason otherwise he'd be pressing him up against the counter when he got home. Or maybe the dining room table. But since he was a the bed would probably be best.
