— park.

@seo kangjoon. My heels click against the concrete pathway as I trail behind you silently, my eyes taking in the familiar surroundings. The open space allows me to breathe for once, and I take in a deep, refreshing breath while I tilt my head back just slightly and briefly close my eyes. "It's nice," I murmur, a small smile tugging at my tiers though there is a chance you won't catch it. "Refreshing. I'd rather have it be chilly and be forced to wear layers of clothing rather than wear little and still sweat like a pig." I chuckle and roll my eyes at my mock of self-deprecation, pulling your jacket secure around my petite body whenever I feel it begin to slip off. I snort at your comment about my height, but don't oppose because in truth, everyone who hasn't met me in person assumes that I am a lot shorter than I actually am. "I get that a lot," I admit with a small shrug. "But you're taller than I thought you would be." I do a quick one-up on you, my eyes quickly observing you from head to toe. "Much, much taller."

@song qian. /walking at a leisurely pace, I stuff my hands into two big pockets for warmth, all the while keeping a very slight grin apparent on my face/ I don’t know about you, but I am loving this weather. I don’t really like it freezing per say, but just enough to wear a jacket or a nice coat. Spring and Fall are probably my favorites. /upon reaching the small playground, I make way over to the swings, a single hand slipping from my pocket to wrap long digits around a chilled metal chain/ Hmm, you know you’re a bit taller than I expected. Thought you’d be a lot shorter, to be honest. /shrugs lazily with a soft chuckle/

@seo kangjoon. The amused expression plastered upon your features prompt me to [lightly] slap your chest, a huff emitting past my lips which eventually curl upwards into a smile. “Funny,” I roll my eyes, though the grin is still quite evident. That, however, is soon replaced with a curious, bewildered countenance when you take my hand in yours. A faint, rosy flush graces porcelain cheeks when you lightly press a kiss onto my hand — an unexpected but pleasant action. ‘A gentleman,’ I make a mental note, and the next move you make reaffirms my first impression of you. “Thank you,” the smile returns, and I find myself already admiring your personality even when it’s only been a couple of minutes. When you turn your head to look elsewhere, I take that chance to carefully observe your features, absorbing in the sight of strong brows, defined lips, chiseled jawline and — when you turn your attention back to me — the warm orbs that stare back into mine. I can’t help but chuckle at the innocent suggestion, nodding my head in response without questioning it. “Sure.”

@song qian. /your reaction is completely hilarious, albeit I find most things humorous, but I do my best to stifle the laughter with a contorted expression as a result/ I am sorry, but that was great. It’s a pleasure to finally meet you, Victoria. /settling down now, a genuine smile tugs at my tiers and I take your hand in mine, bending slightly to press a faint kiss to the top of your hand/ I considered bringing flowers, but I wasn’t sure if that’d be over the top... I figured it wouldn’t be too convenient to carry around either, so I opted out in the end. /a sheepish chuckle escapes my lips and my orbs seize the the moment to study each of your features carefully, soon after noticing the goosebumps blanketing your skin; without hesitation, I slip off my coat and drape it over your shoulders before forcing a soft cough/ Pardon me if I’m acting too comfortably, but I can’t allow you to walk around in the cold like that. /I pause before nodding my head over to the right/ So then, ready to hit the swings?

@seo kangjoon. Perhaps wearing only a thin, white blouse, black skinny jeans, and ankle high heeled boots might have been the worst decision I could make, considering the chilly weather. Especially since I’m waiting by the lake, constantly looking around in search for the person I have agreed to meet with while shaking and embracing myself in a lame attempt to keep my body warm. When I get a text, I let an arm wrapped over my chest drop to my side, slipping out my phone from my back pocket and checking the text message, immediately doing as it said and almost screaming at the sight of you. “Oh my gosh,” I breathe, a hand over my heart. “Don’t do that!”

@song qian. /clad in a few layers of thin jackets and a large coat, I read over your last message once again before taking a slow glance around/ Hmm, she said she’d be around here.. /mumbling quietly to myself, my eyes then light up once I catch sight, from afar, of a white blouse and the familiar hairstyle I last saw you wearing through Snapchat; though unable to clearly see your features, my lips form a wide smile at the thought of finally getting to meet you; I then sneak up quietly from behind and send you a quick text - “Turn around”/

@lee jaehwan. naturally, my gin on you tightened, my cheek pressing flush against your own, and that alone made the sides of my face begin to flush and feel hot. "go faster! i think it's almost closing time!" my heart started thumping in my chest from excitement, both from the pureness of the situation, and of course, the anticipation of eating ice cream on such a considerably warm day.

@lee jaehwan. actually a bit surprised at how comfortable it is riding on your back, i try not to visibly show it, not quite ready to break my "mean girl" facade. it was certainly difficult, especially when there was ice cream involved, because ice cream was my absolute weakness. the expression plastered across my face when you look back was a mixture of disgust and confusion, because honestly, how the hell could you not agree? you're huge. i spot the stand at almost the exact moment you do, and every front i've worked for over the past few hours fell apart almost immediately. "just barel–––– run horsey, run!!!" i suddenly gained the excitement of a child's, gently kicking my legs a bit despite your firm hold on them.

@lee jaehwan. "oh yeah? well you're really... big."
giving your shoulder a light jab, i huff, mostly at myself, for not having a better comeback. my initial response was going to be 'handsome,' but once i caught myself, i wanted to vomit a bit. i was a bit tense at first, but i slowly started to relax against you more, my head resting against the side of yours only to keep it from bobbing around with each step you took.
"the ice cream stand should still be up now, right?"

@lee jaehwan. i tried doubling my strides to keep up with you, but it certainly wasn't working, and it only made me feel bad with each glance you made over your shoulder to check on me. after a little while of following i diverted my attention to a cute couple holding hands on the other side of the street, and to my luck, i bumped right into you, earning a yelp out of me as my palms rest on you to keep myself from falling over.
oh– uh, okay.
crawling onto your back, i wrap my arms around your neck and my legs around your waist, chuckling a bit.

@lee jaehwan. right behind you.
my mouth and nose scrunch up a bit when i see that stupid smirk on your face, but i follow anyway, one step behind because of your long strides.

@brian kang. Well you look good but you always do. /finger guns with a big grin of mines. looks over at the pup from time to time to make sure it was okay. Oh did you walk from your home to the park I-oh no it's okay pup, you gonna get back to your home soon hm? /goes over to rub the pup's fur. Don't ever walk out alone hm?

@brian kang. what ? getting our clothes we look so good for to actually get messed up after ? lead the way, brian. /smiles as i walk beside you, looks around the scenery. such a lovely day ain't it ? oh haha you wasn't too hard to find since the park was close by my apartment. so you live near this place or far ?

@brian kang. haha i can see that but take your time. /chuckles softly as i nod, watching you cradling her close before i look over at her. we can do that ofc, i don't like paintballing that much anyways because it'll mess up my outfit haha. well, which way do we go ? i never been to that street before. /slowly rubs her fur as i smile at her.

@brian kang. /after receiving your invitation to a platonic date, i wore a casual outfit that was jean shorts, tennis shoes, white hat, and a blue jean jacket with a white tank top. after finishing everything, i decided to walk to the park since it was very close to my apartment. after 5 minutes, i end up walking past the park entrance before hearing my phone beep then sees your message before i replied back that said, "I'm here now and i'll be there in a jiffy!". starts walking on the trail while looking around for you before grinning as i see you from afar with a puppy, jogs a little before i stop near you. i'm here !
