‣ lotte world

@jang wooyoung ❜ Old emotions and memories stirred within Taecyeon's thoughts. The pair had shared countless outings to enjoy their time together as bandmates. Of course, things were a bit more complicated when feelings began to manifest for each other. Then, things became messy. Unhinged emotion left the pair reeling in ecstasy and unparalleled highs, but it ultimately ended in the lowest of lows. However, when the familiar message tone reverberated off of his bedroom wall, the nostalgic remnants of his past began to fall into place again; it was an opportunity to rekindle a flame that had long been blown out.

Approaching the amusement park, there was a lump in Taecyeon's throat that would not go away. It was as if his anxiety had manifested itself into a physical form--one in which he could not swallow. The familiar silhouette of his former love interest appeared over the horizon as he closed the distance. The small wave from Wooyoung was a nice gesture, he thought, so he reciprocated it with one of his own. As he approached, he held his arms out to initiate a hug, wrapping his lanky arms around the smaller male. Though his anxiety had not totally melted away, the familiar cologne eased it into a more manageable feeling.

"Woo--it's nice to see you." Taecyeon finally managed after pulling away. His smile was pained--forced even. There were so many feelings left unacknowledged that their reunion was more bittersweet than invigorating.

@ok taecyeon ❜ it had been a while sine wooyoung had spent time with anyone close to him. so when he was granted permission to have leave for a little while, he knew just who to call. it was simple enough, setting up a time and place to meet and hang out, and wooyoung wanted to feel young again. who better to spend that time with than someone he had known for years, who knew him through and through. really, he was just glad that taecyeon had agreed in the first place. he had heard that taecyeon was busy these days, especially with the dramas he was filming. he was happy for him, really.

time in the military had given wooyoung time to think. he thought back on what life was like before he enlisted, before either of them had gone in to the military. back when they were trainees, early on when the group had formed, everything that came with being together for as long as they had been. the good, the bad, and everything in between. maybe it was too much time to think about everything.

checking the time on his phone, he leaned against the wall to the front entrance of the amusement park. all around him, he heard the laughter and screams from around the park, even while fighting the bit of nervousness in the pit of his stomach. why was he so damn nervous? it was just taecyeon, of all people. he had to remind himself that, over and over again. it was just taecyeon. so what if he had a sudden rush of feelings again? who cared if he was sure he was still head over heels for the man he knew beforehand? it was just taecyeon.

it was just taecyeon, he told himself, and when he lifted his head he didn't expect to see taecyeon making his way over. whether he was spotted or not, wooyoung didn't know, but a smile lifted his lips anyway. it felt good to see him again, and the little flutter in his chest that just wouldn't go away reminded him of that. pushing off the wall, wooyoung lifted his hand to wave, not too grand of a gesture while simply hoping to be seen. it would be just like old times.

@jung wooyoung ❜ while in the cab that is driving to lotte world, i finish replying to all of my messages until i suddenly see the caller id pop up which reveals it's you. with excitement, i instantly press the green phone button, placing the phone on my ear. a grin appears upon my lips as soon as i hear your voice through the phone.
"hello love! i'm currently in the cab going there and i've been in here for awhile so i should be there in a fe-"
my words get interrupted by the cab driver saying "im here" then i now realized the cab has stopped at the destination. gesps in awe as i look through the window because i see you.
"i see you at the entrance, i'll be there in a few seconds!"
i make a loud smooch through the phone to know i kissed you before hanging up. i give the cab driver the exact money, thank them before i get out of the cab. i walk towards the entrance in excitement, going right towards you as i gently push through the crowd while i gently said excuse me. now standing right in front of you, i grin up at you.
"hai love, im here! i hope i'm not late! if i did, i'm sorry."

@meng jia ❜ waiting by the entrance of the amusement park, i pulled my phone out from the pockets of my jeans to make a call. hitting the call button after finding your contact. i waited untill the call is picked up, a smile grazing upon my tiers. "hey, where are you right now?" i asked, impatience absent from the tone of my voice since i was only calling to make sure you're alright and not because that i was getting impatient myself.
