garden.

@lee jongsuk. a more decent talk? you sound both old and terribly snobbish at the same time...
/teases with a mischievous twinkle in my oddly coloured eyes, letting out a small chuckle like you do before i add on stubbornly
i'll get my chance to hang out with her. just wait and see. you'll regret keeping us apart from one another
/murmurs as i smile to myself, biting at my plump bottom lip in response of doing so
you can stay all you like too. but if you think it'll stop me from saying anything in particular, you're wrong
/coos at the end, holding onto your hand gently still before i brush my fingertips over your knuckles and i smile to myself as i do so
mnh... is that the only reason you wouldn't mind people thinking i'm your boyfriend? because you think i'm beautiful?
/asks as i play with your fingers just slightly, avoiding your eyes for now
proud... pride is a strong emotion. i'm happy you feel it for me
/looks up at you when i say that, entering the building with you and reluctantly letting go of your hand so you can get dressed and washed
i'll wait here
/motions to where i am, smiling warmly at you before i shift from foot to foot, moving my weight around as i glance at your belongings

@lee taemin. /i playfully narrow my eyes at you, your words actually making me want to laugh a bit, but i decide not to, since it's about me that we're talking about; when you say that you liked her humour, i can't help myself anymore, letting out a soft laugh
yeah, she has a good sense of humour indeed- and maybe, in the future, i might let you two have a more decent talk, of course, i ain't leaving your side
/i glance at you once more at your question, listening to your words - part of me completely agrees with them, while the other part simply doesn't care at all, me just being me, not caring about what others think, say or do, even if it's about me
hm... i don't dislike it, i mean- you're beautiful, why would i mind someone thinking that you're my boyfriend? /a small chuckle leaves my lips before i hum
but yeah... even though i don't really think about that, you're quite right. people usually do that. you're more than right for not being like them~
/soon enough, i walk inside a building, your last words making me smile way too brightly
naah, i don't mind knowing that. i feel quite... proud ?

@lee jongsuk. /as i see you smiling so brightly i wonder if no one ever told you the truth as i have, surely they have, so perhaps its just the way i've said it to you that's different
you saying its not a good idea makes it a perfect one, you do realise that?
besides, i liked her sense of humour just from that brief meeting. i think we could be great friends
/speaks as you seem to stare at me, undeterred though as we walk hand in hand, sometimes i make vague gestures with my hands but i'm always by your side and close enough to touch
/keeps my head resting on your shoulder, smiling to myself as i do so before i feel the squeeze to my hand and it leave me beaming to myself, enjoying the way you hold me and what you say
you disliked it? look like a couple...
its strange people make those snap judgements in the first place. i find myself often wondering about people and their endless possibilities rather than boxing them into an assumption
maybe that's just me... i'm not normal after all
/muses before i shake my head and then look back up at you, my cheek slightly squished against your shoulder
i wouldn't mind people thinking i'm your other half though... should i not say that? its true

@lee taemin. /i blink a few times quite surprised at your words, my cheeks heating up even more because honestly - no one was ever this blunt, but nonetheless i enjoy it quite a lot and i can't hide its proof - a bright smile
/chuckles softly as we walk out of the cafe, quickly shaking my head at your suggestion
nah, i'm sure that drink is not necessary... although i also don't think i've done a lot of stuff here that i'm now ashamed of... but still, it's not good if you two get to talk, really- just not.
/i playfully shiver and make a face at the thought before laughing softly, leading the way to my apartment this time, not being able to shift my gaze from you even for a second - and now i'm really glad for knowing the way home
/at your words, i nearly coo, also feeling the urge to just stop walking and pull you in a tight hug - something that i grew used to even though we've seen each other for a day only, to have you in my arms - instead, my smile grows brighter and i give your hand a small squeeze
well i never thought i would enjoy walking like this with someone, you know... looking like a couple even- i used to really dislike that thought, but with you... it feels so right, that's why i enjoy it, i guess~

@lee jongsuk. i think you look wonderful just the way you are. the morning light was hitting your face so nicely earlier, i thought if i could paint quickly i'd have captured the moment then
/says bluntly and honestly to you, not even batting an eyelid as i do end up smiling though, nodding when you say you're looking forward to that breakfast with me
/bows my head to her again when you say what her name is, smiling politely at her before you're pulling me away to head out, laughing as you say she'll tease you otherwise
have a good day, noona!
/calls over my shoulder, waving at her with a smile before i'm squeezing your hand and by your side again, our arms brushing each time we walk
she seems nice
i'll have to have a drink with her sometime and find out what she knows about you so i could file it away for later
/murmurs before i look up at you, white hair falling into my oddly coloured eyes as i'm smiling as bright as the sun, my head leaning against your shoulder after a minute
even just walking with you and holding our hand is really nice...

@lee taemin. /points to my face. just look at me right now- i surely don't look my best. /chuckles softly before i think about the breakfast i had this morning, scrunching up my nose slightly as i glance up at the ceiling for a brief moment, in thoguht, before i look back at you, giving you a bright grin/
well that's something that might already be happening, i really enjoyed your breakfast and i look forward to having it again tomorrow~
/i nod a few times, mostly to myself thoug, at your other words, i wonder what could possibly be the right motivation, thinking for a brief second that i'd probably enjoy baking if i were with you, but i don't get a chance to say it out loud or think any further about the matter when hyerim walks in, her gaze locking on your frame before shifting briefly to me; i'm about to introduce her when you speak again and i can't helpt a soft chuckle, noticing how my cheeks heat up slightly once i feel your hand on mine, the look she gives me being an obvious teasing one/
yeah- uh... this is hyerim, the friend i told you about- and we better get going now before she starts to go on about how i never told her about you.
/she lets out a soft laugh, rolling her eyes at me and bowing back at you; i lightly tug you with me towards the entrance, giving her the keys, as a signal that she will be closing the cafe today before waving goodbye and heading out, not really wanting to go through unnecessary embarrassment/

@lee jongsuk. you? you scare people away? how?
/asks with a raised eyebrow before i end up smiling to myself once again, looking out one of the windows and sighing softly as i do so, tugging at the ends of my white hair
mnh... when you have my breakfasts each morning you'll soon be sad if you didn't have one, even for a single day
/rests my chin in my palm as i look at you from the table, nodding my head at your answer before i smile to myself gently again
the sight of you baking is something i think i'll need to see before i pass on into hade's hands. i'm sure you could enjoy it if you found the right kind of motivation. don't you think?
/asks before i see someone come in through the door, immediately rising from my chair to bow to them and i smile softly, brushing my hair back from my face after introducing myself
/moves over to you and waits quietly, ready to head out when you are
i'm sorry i'll be stealing him away for the day again... but i promise i'll keep him in good condition
/smiles at your employee before i look up at you by my side, finding your hand with mine and holding it gently, our fingers interlocking as i do so

@lee taemin. /i quickly shake my head at your question, waving my free hand in dismiss as i chuckle softly/
nah, don't worry about it, i wasn't. and... i'm sure i'd more like... scare people away? i mean, i don't look my best right now~
/chuckles once again before i nod slowly at your words, since i myself believe in fate quite a lot - knowing that everything that has happened to me happened for a reason, at least now though - i completely agree with you, sure that we're getting along this well because we've met again now and not before/
/when you mention the breakfast, a bright smile comes to my lips and i nod quite eagerly/ that's it, for sure- i mean... i usually don't eat a lot in the morning, even though people tell me i need to, but let's say i'm happy with a cup of coffee~
/i quickly check everything behind the counter as you sit down on one of the tables, my gaze briefly shifting to you at your question and i nod slightly/
mhm... although it wasn't a very long course, but what i enjoy the most is to make drawings on the orders, there are some type of drinks that are really hard to do so... but i still enjoy it- although it's been a while since i've done those. it's become more of a special thing, you know?
when someone is celebrating their birthday and such. and i also took some classes on baking, although i don't enjoy it as much
/scrunches up nose slightly at the thought of baking, really having no patience for that, at least not as much as for preparing drinks/

@lee jongsuk. were you too hot lost night? you should have told me, i'd have left the windows open for you or the ac
oh you'd find your own way. or use those devilish good looks of yours, i'm sure someone would be happy to have shown you the way then
/murmurs softly to myself, brushing my thumb over your knuckles as you squeeze my hand, making me smile at your playful wink too
fate has funny ways of working things out... i suppose we just weren't meant to have seen each other then, not until now at least
/laughs a little behind my free hand when you seem so amazed to be where we were, how quickly we've arrived and i shrug my shoulders gently again
today you're a little less wound up so i think the whole journey didn't feel quite so long. or maybe its my breakfast giving you a lot of energy... who knows
/follows you inside your cafe, letting go of your hand once inside so i can roam around, glancing at the things you have and smiles to myself, taking a seat a one of the tables as we wait
what's your favourite thing to make?
did you go on a barista course too?

@lee taemin. oh, don't even mention that- i feel like i hadn't shower for three days, even though it wasn't this hot at night.
/chuckles softly, giving your hand a small squeeze/ thank you, i'd be lost without you ~/gives you a playful wink before i look ahead of us, this time trying to focus a bit more on our way to the cafe/
/glances over at you at your question, shaking my head a few times/
not really... let's say that only two blocks away? i actually didn't think about that- but i just happened to find a place for rent close to where i live. /chuckles softly before nodding once/ indeed, my aunt always tells me to get a car, but i honestly... go to the cafe only, most of the time and if i ever need something, the market is pretty close... so i really don't have a reason to have a car.
/grins at the fact that you seem to know me so well, even though we haven't talked for years; though when you look at me, stating the fact that we're already at the cafe, i widen my eyes slightly, looking around for a moment - not really believing that it was so easy/
wha- i swear we've walked a lot more yesterday... not possible... /most likely i mumble to myself, my face clearly showing that i'm surprised, though even more due the fact that you live close to me, you have lived for a while, and we only met now/
/i shake my head a few times, not helping a small chuckle as i walk over to the cafe, tugging you along with me, before opening its door/
now we just have to wait a few minutes and hyerim will be here, then i'm free to go~

@lee jongsuk. i think you're laughing told me you had fun, jongsuk
/murmurs softly, thanking you when you dry up the dishes, popping them away when you head upstairs to grab your pants and belongings, smiling at you when you join me in the garden
its so hot... i'm sure you'll be enjoying a nice cool shower later at your place
/lets you take my hand, slipping my fingers between your own as i shut the gate to my garden and house behind us, laughing a bit when you don't know where to walk
i'll take us to the cafe
/its my tun to tug on your hand now, letting you follow me before you find a rhythm and we're side by side, hands swinging back and forth slightly as i glance around, taking in all the familiar sights
do you live far from the cafe then?
i wouldn't think you did considering it makes more sense to live close by... and knowing you, you don't have a car either
/muses as i walk with you, more like i'm talking about you than to you right then, smiling to myself once more as i finally look over to you, reaching my free hand out to your cheek
there now, that wasn't hard, hmn?
/murmurs as i motion to the cafe, stopping outside of it with you and looking up at the building, the coffee scent still lingering in the air even when its been closed for the night

@lee taemin. really? i used to have a lot of fun with you back then... didn't i ever tell you? /tilts head slightly to the side as i glance at you before moving to your other side at your words, smiling once again when i look down at the cat/
/laughs softly and lightly nudges your side when you blow some bubbles on me, waving my hand slightly in the air as if to dismiss it before i quickly open the drawer to take the dishcloth, leaning slightly against the sink as i wait for the dishes; once you're done washing them, i quickly dry them up, setting them back on top of the counter - since i really have no idea of where to put them at/
/letting out a soft yawn, i also set the cloth aside before glancing down at myself, grinning when i remember about my pants, but i don't take much time to head upstairs to put them back on, barely fixing my clothes, checking if i have everything in my pocket, before i go to meet you outside, glancing around to try and spot you - it being a lot easier when you seem to see me first/
/a smile comes to my lips - something that became so natural being around you, even if it hasn't been even a full day yet/
all ready ~!
/i offer you a hand, waiting for you to take it before i gently tug you with me to the entrance - hoping that i'd get it right - and once we successfully get out of your house, i look around briefly, not really remembering the path we walked here yesterday, which makes me glance at you with a somewhat sheepish smile/
where to again? let's say i don't walk around here much...

@lee jongsuk. me? funny? first time i've heard that one
/murmurs softly, bringing over the other empty plates and containers i used for the food, thanking you when you bring some over too before laughing to myself as you mention hoping to try and keep up with me
i'm sure you'll do just fine
hello little one
/speaks to the cat currently purring and nuzzling my leg, soon getting distracted as he slides onto his back and bats at the bells on my anklet, entertaining himself more than happily
i think the other way around would be best since i'm already all bubbled and soaped up
/motions to my hands full of the stuff, pointing to one of the drawers for a clean dishcloth for you to use, blowing a few bubbles in your direction though
/laughs to myself before i tidy up with you, soon finishing and waiting for you to go put your pants on so we can head to your cafe to open it up
/waits for you outside, having ushered the pets safely inside and now checking some leaves on the petunias i have, glancing up when i hear you coming down
ready?

@lee taemin. /scrunches up nose slightly, surely not agreeing to your words, but when you say you'd actually roll me around, i can't help but to stifle a laugh/
you're lucky you're funny... /mumbles softly before i nod a few times/
no worries, i'll be happy to walk them with you, and actually no- let's hope i manage to keep up. /smiles sheepishly, not really being into sports, even if it's just walking, although since now i'd have company, i surely will not mind doing so/
/i watch with a smile as you get up and take the plates, holding back a small chuckle when you kiss the top of my head, almost feeling like you were my mother/
/a moment later, when i see the kitten getting in the house, i grin reaching down to brieflt caress its head/
/deciding to help you out once it moves away, i take the rest of the things, walking over to the sink/
should i wash and you dry? or the other way around?

@lee jongsuk. you'd still be adorable, even if you turned into a round ball that needed rolling everywhere. i'd be happy to do it for you
/murmurs with a mall smile, finishing my own plate of food and leaning back to sip from my glass, watching you over the top of it quietly as i do so
that sounds great to me-
i'll need to take lily, juri and sangil on their walks too, if you're okay with that
and by walk i mean light jog but hey- you seem to keep yourself fit, right?
/motions to you with a small smirk, not beyond flirting and playing around with you, instead actually very happy to do so as i smile at you
/stands from my chair and picks up the plates with ease, kissing the side of your head when i come for yours, the action natural to me, nothing to overthink, just showing my affection for you
let me clean up and then we can head out, okay?
/glances over my shoulder, turning back to the sink and happily tidying up, one of my cats having slunk inside, sniffed at you and meowed before doing figure of eights around my ankles

@lee taemin. she seems to be indeed. /nods a few times, listening to you as you speak and not helping a soft chuckle when you straighten yourself up/
really ? i wish i could say the same, to be honest, but i'm pretty sure that if i don't keep an eye on myself, i'll become jongball ~
/chuckles once again, before i smile, relaxing when you reassure me that you're okay; i pick up some more of the food, quickly nomming it as i listen to what you want to do; once i'm done, i quickly my lips only to give you a bright smile/
sounds good to me ! and i guess i do need a shower, so yeah... we can stop by my place after i open the cafe.
and later on- wanna watch a movie or go ice skating, since it's quite hot outside too...
/once i'm completely done eating, i rest an elbow on the table, raising a hand only so i can lean my chin against it, looking at you as i do so/

@lee jongsuk. she's pretty cute
/mumbles around my cup of coffee, glancing back over to you when you ask about the yoga and me keeping fit
i only picked up yoga a few months ago, its more like a hobby than how i keep fit. i suppose i have one of those annoying body types where i could eat all day and not gain an inch on my waist. the gardening keeps me pretty good though, what with all the lifting and working in the sun... the dancing too i suppose. but again, just a hobby
/straightens up when you check me out, even as a joke, letting out a small laugh afterwards
no offence taken. i'm... average-ish i suppose
i slept i slept, i promise
/waves off your worrying, smiling at you before you seem to be answering me about what you had planned for today, eating as you talk
i'd like to go somewhere with you. somewhere nice... somewhere just the two of us can enjoy some time, catch up some more. if that's okay?
we could start off by going to your cafe, though your house first would be a better port of call as you need some clothes
i'd offer you mine but i doubt they'd fit all too well

@lee taemin. /laughs softly at your words, shaking my head a few times before i start to eat, my eyes never leaving you though as i listen to you speaking/
/a small smile comes to my lips/ i pretty much noticed that- she seems to be adorable, but- i didn't know you were into yoga, is that how you keep fit?
/playfully, i pretend to check you out before grinning, focusing on my food once again as i nod slightly at your words/
hm... maybe? i guess people here in korea are quite short- no offense, you're pretty tall too.
woah, you talking like that i might believe that i'm a prince indeed- but... you did get some sleep before, right? you're just kidding?
/i try to hold back a small frown, but obviously fail, not being able to not show worry when it comes to you and your health; at your last question though, i stop for a brief moment, trying to recall what i have for today before shrugging my shoulders slightly/
well i guess after i open the cafe, i'll be free, i had to check some papers but i can do that later-
did you have anything you want to do? /i slightly tilt my head to the side as i finish eating the plate i've made a couple of minutes earlier/

@lee jongsuk. speedy taemin, at your service
/playfully bows to you before i'm laughing gently, glancing over my shoulder at the garden and then back to you again
the samoyed from earlier, she's lily. she always interrupts me when i'm trying to do yoga though and insists she does it with me
/murmurs before i laugh a little bit, nodding my head quickly to you, dishing up some of my own food as i speak up gently
you were a lot shorter when i saw you, still taller but not as tall as you are now. you're a good what... eight? ten? centimetres taller than me now?
/lifts one of my hands, trying to work out the size difference but it doesn't work of course, instead letting out a small laugh, especially when you pinch my cheek
maybe i haven't slept for days... maybe i was just awake in a dream and then you came along. did some magic like a prince does and voila, i was awake
/waves my hands in the air as i mention being asleep, dream-like motions with my hands before i smile and settle back down, popping some eggs in my mouth
did you have any plans today? i don't want to keep you if you have things to do but if you don't... i was hoping we could spend today together too?

@lee taemin. /glances down briefly when i listen to the small bells ringing, smiling to myself before i nod once/
well... then i guess you were fast~
/chuckles softly, blinking quite surprised when you say they're actually six, but a second later, i shake my head/
nah, i guess if we put it like that- they being like a family to you and keeping you company, then i guess they're not much.
/i reach for a plate, quickly glancing at all the food, noticing how you made a somewhat mixed breakfast and i can't help but to smile softly once again; i start to place some food on the plate, raising an eyebrow at you/
am i that taller now? /laughs softly/ i honestly thought i wouldn't grow anymore, but here we are- you also grew a lot, so make sure you help me to finish this, hm?
/grins and reaches out to lightly pinch one of your cheeks when you laugh, smiling - once against mostly to myself - before i hum softly/
kind of thanks? i did nothing, though- you fell asleep almost instantly, as if you didn't sleep for days~

@lee jongsuk. /hugs you tightly, not seeming to mind about you in your boxers and top, the anklet around my ankle jingling softly with the small bells on it each time i move
no no. you slept about... half an hour longer?
/murmurs as i look up at you, glancing out at the garden before i turn to you, much preferring watching you anyway
is six too many pets? i felt lonely for a while after i'd fallen out of contact with you, so they're more my family than pets, i feel like i adopted them, well, some of them are adopted actually. i'll introduce you to them later, okay?
/sits down and rests my cheek in my palm as i listen to you, giving a small shake of my head when you ask if i've eaten or if its a lot
nothing is too much for you
and... you're a lot taller now. you need to eat more
/motions for you to go ahead, dishing up for myself and then glancing over to you with a small laugh, nodding in the memory of falling asleep before you
i slept so nicely. and i woke up feeling so rested... i guess the breakfast is a kind of thanks

@lee taemin. /i smile at the scene before me, quite sad that i didn't really get to greet your dog, but this quickly vanishes when i feel your body against mine, my arms wrapping around your waist to give you a hug almost as if it's the most natural thing between us/
really? did i sleep for that long? or were you fast?
/chuckles softly and looks over at where you're poiting at, quite surprised at the amount of pets you have, but thinking that they're cute nonetheless/
woah, when you said you had a few pets... i didn't think it'd be this much, but they seem to be really cute, hm?
/looks back at you, smiling as i reach up to brush a few strands of hair away from your face/
/follows after you with a soft pout, due not being able to hold you in my arms for longer, but once i see the food, i notice that i'm actually pretty hungry/
... isn't this a lot? did you eat already?
i had an amazing night of sleep, actually... even though i fell asleep some time after than you~

@lee jongsuk. lily!
/laughs the dog's name out as the pure white furred samoyed at my face and nudges my side, making me get out of the yoga position and roll onto the floor with her
/cuddles her against my chest gently, stroking behind her ears where she likes it, her tail wagging before she hears you first and yaps softly in hello
/sits up after, blinking before i see you and i smile at you from where i am on the floor, patting lily's bum and sending her off before i pull myself up, dusting my hands off and then wrapping my arms around your neck in hello
morning jongsuk
/murmurs, nuzzling up against you, hair still slightly damp but smelling more and more like the herbal shampoo i use, my skin like the sunshine i'd been standing in earlier
breakfast is all ready in the kitchen and the family is outside
/nods to the array of pets i have, still playing around with one another as i lead you through to the kitchen instead, lifting off the lids of the dishes and handing you a plate
go ahead. eat as much as you want
how did you sleep?

@lee taemin. /i don't even notice when you leave the bed, too deep into my sleep, although i somewhat miss your warmth, which makes me wake up nearly half an hour later/
/i yawn softly to myself, rubbing my eyes a bit as i slowly sit up, for a brief moment not recognizing the place i'm at, but then the memories of the previous day comes back to me, making me smile right away/
/i quickly get up, searching for the bathroom so i can wash up quickly, not even bothering to put back my jeans on, since it's quite hot now, also hoping you won't mind me walking around in boxers and shirt only/
/once i'm done, i quickly hop downstairs, feeling as if it's one of the happiest day i have in a while, i search around a bit for you, just in time to hear your laugh echoing through the house, which gets me smiling even brighter/
/i stop a couple of steps away from you, not wanting to bother you and your dog, simply leaning against the wall, crossing my arms over my chest as i watch you/
/a couple of seconds later, i decide to step closer/
morning sunshine ~

@lee jongsuk. /as you jostle around in the night i don't rouse from my slumber, instead letting you pull me in and sinking into an even deeper respite with your arms around me, my eyelids sealed tight with hypnos's wish for the world to sleep beneath his blanket that is the night sky
/as the sun rises i wake up just in time to see the rich oranges and yellows casting across the lightened sky, my green and blue eyes greeting the sight as i get to see it just over your shoulder, smiling as i look at your face and appreciate how the light highlights your face
and he calls me beautiful...
/whispers so i don't wake you, instead, detangling myself from you, kissing your forehead and stroking your hair a few times, the morning hours still early so i don't expect you to be up yet, especially on a saturday morning
/stretches my arms up above my head, leaving you to rest with a light blanket over you as the morning air is cooler, padding off to my bathroom where i shower and wash up for the new day
/tugs on a pair of shorts, cut off just below the thighs and frayed around the hem, sliding a belt on before i tug on a vest, tucking it in before i pull on an open shirt, leaving it like that since the weather promises to be hot today too
/glances over at you as i fasten an anklet on, smiling to myself and finishing putting the rest of my jewellery on, a cross hanging from one of my ears and the other a feather creeping up my ear, the necklace around my neck never changing but a thin choker added above it
/leaves my feet bare as i prefer them to be, heading downstairs where i let out my pets, watching the three dogs race off to place, the pair of cats slower and the bunny let out last, giving her a cuddle before she's hopping down the path
/washes my hands and sets to making you breakfast, deciding a mix of western and korean might be nice for you, things like omelettes and bacon being cooked with blood sausage and rice, little sides with an array of fresh vegetables too, wanting you to feel full and ready for your day ahead
/as the food is left on warm as i wait for you to come down i stand outside on the patio, the cats lazing around in the sun as the dogs bat around a football, the bunny chewing on greenery i've left out for her
/the smile never leaves my lips as i sip from my glass of juice, already having cleaned up from last night too, sending a glance up the stairwell as i wonder what dreams you might be having
/takes the time alone to push the coffee table in the lounge aside, stretching before i do some yoga, laughing when one of my dogs is insistent on sitting on me or "helping" as i do them, often trying to me too, causing my laughter to echo up the stairs

@lee taemin. taemin...
/i sigh softly after your words, quite surprised that you're comfortable around me to the point of even taking your pants off and i try my best to not let my eyes glance lower than your neck - which i surprisingly manage to do, even though i can feel your bare skin against my own/
/i lean in to place a small kiss to your forehead when you finally fall asleep, feeling myself becoming sleepy as well as the minutes go by and soon enough, i get more comfortable by your side, holding firmly onto your hand as i drift off to sleep, the images of you and what happened today replaying in my mind until i simply think of nothing else, completely asleep then, a barely noticeable smile on my lips/
/sometime along the night, i manage to take off my jeans being left in my boxers and shirt, even mumbling something on how the jeans annoy me while i'm sleeping, pulling you into my arms, almost cradling as if you were a pillow, an arm moving underneat your head, a leg and my other arm wrapping around your small frame/

@lee jongsuk. /my chest rises and falls slowly as i sink into the sheets a little bit better, my lips parted softly and forming that little 'o' shape they tend to, making me smile to myself before i feel the bed dip with your presence joining my own
/rests one of my hands against the pillow beside my head, the other resting along my waist and my forearm over my stomach, yawning softly as i'm not quite asleep, not yet
/as i look more like a porcelain doll or a nymph whom rests securely by your side, i can faintly feel your thumb on my lips, the pair moving when you touch my lower one to kiss your thumb, but the action is so gentle, so brief you could miss it if you blinked
i'll still look the same in the morning... i promise
/mumbles before i smile a little, shifting onto my back and undoing my jeans, frowning as i wriggle my hips and leave the item of clothing on the floor, just in my underwear now when i roll back onto my side and scoot closer to you
/rests my head on your own pillow, my face mere inches in front of your own and those blue and green eyes hidden from sight for now, this time becoming heavier like i had when outside with you
/drifts off to sleep but not without my hand in your own, holding onto you gently as the last thing i saw is the call of your name, mouth turning into a small frown before it soothes out into a smile

@lee taemin. /i simply smile at your words, taking them to heart but saying nothing since i don't want to disturb you right now, although a couple of seconds later when i feel you moving, speaking and even standing up, i can't help but to frown slightly, hoping that i wasn't the one waking you up/
don't worry....
/follows after you, your request making me blink a few times in surprise, hoping it'd be okay to do so, but i don't talk about my slightly worry, since the greatest part of would simply enjoy spending the night with you in my arms way too much/
/once in your bedroom, i briefly glance around, my gaze falling once again onto your shirtless figure and for the nth time that night, my heart skips a beat, the room becoming slightly hotter than it was a second ago; i take a deep breath, this time completely unsure if i should get in bed with your or not, but when you whisper once again that you want to sleep with me, i let my head hang down, in defeat, since i can't ever refuse one of your requests/
/rather slowly, i climb in bed, a smile coming to my lips when i notice you're almost asleep again and i take that moment to simply take in each inch of you, my eyes going from how your hair falls to the side of your face, its blonde only adding to your pale skin, then my gaze goes lower to your closed eyes, being able to perfectly see their different colors and i smile again; my gaze then lowers to your nose, slightly sharp but perfectly matching your facial features, the moonlight making you glow/
/without noticing, i reach out this time to feel your lips, not only to stare at it, my thumb running slowly and lightly over your upper one, then moving down to your lower lip as i feel my mouth drying slightly once more, but i do nothing, i simply keep on staring at you as my hand moves from your face down to your neck, fingertips brushing against your soft and pale skin/
beautiful... /the words leaves my lips in a barely audible whisper/

@lee jongsuk. good... i don't ever want you to let go of me. ever-
/murmurs softly as i lean into you a little bit more, your name on my lips before your playfully agreeing to me, shaking my head gently before i let out a few chuckles
you're adorable
/whispers as you speak to the fireflies and thank them for me, struggling to keep my eyes open as i lean against you tiredly, the exhaustion of the long day getting to me but having enjoyed it nonetheless
/slowly opens my eyelids after another moment or two, the fireflies still darting around and greeting me with the smell of the jasmine, sighing to myself as i lift my head and nuzzle your jaw
sorry... i dozed off i felt so happy
/murmurs as i rub at my eyelids, lifting myself up and taking your hand in my own once more, tugging you along gently behind me and guiding us to my bedroom, bypassing the guest one
sleep with me
/looks up as i ask, yawning into one of my hands before i end up smiling, pulling my shirt up and over my head since its too warm to have on, toeing off my socks and leaving on my pants
/climbs onto the bed, yawning once more before i motion for you to come and join me, laying atop the sheets as my blond hair splays out against the sheets, the way it had on your shoulder a moment before
come... i want to sleep with you...
/whispers as i wait for you, patting the spot beside me and smiling, the soft, soft music still playing and lulling me off to sleep beneath the soft glow of the moon

@lee taemin. that would be fun- but then again i really don't feel like ever letting go. /chuckles softly before i scrunch up my nose slightly, nodding as i say playfully/ yes, sir !
/grins down at you for a brief moment before i glance over to the fireflies, smiling softly since it's actually the first time i've ever paid close attention to the nature/ i'm glad you haven't been all alone then... thank you fireflies for taking care of taeming while i wasn't here ~! /i raise up my free hand, grinning as i wave at them/
/looking back down at you, my smile only grows bigger, giving your hand a small squeeze in return/
as long as you're here then i'll surely want to come back... besides it's a beautiful place, you being here makes it feel exctly like home.
/i nod slightly, not wanting to disturb your head by moving too much, my eyes following the butterfly for a brief moment before i let out a satisfied, content sigh, as the seconds go by and i feel your body relaxing more against me, i almost right away notice that you probably fell asleep, tilting my head just enough to peek at your closed eyes, holding back a small chuckle/
/i stay like this, simply enjoying the view and even more having you in my arms like this, something i thought would never happen, for a couple of minutes before i let out a small yawn, glancing around to try to catch a glimpse of your bedroom, but frowning a bit when i find nothing/
/wonders if i should just pick you up in my arms and search for your bedroom, so you can have a proper sleep/
