@hyunjin h。ˢᵃᵘᶜʸᴶ "I..." Sehun blinked twice. "I guess I did. It kind of just slipped out." He admitted, gaze shifting over to the male in the driver's seat. "Is that okay? Did you...uh, did you like it?" The wendigo typically wasn't one for pet names, but he was quickly realizing that with how comfortable he was around Hyunjin, the more he was surprising himself. And, to be honest, he didn't mind that one bit. Sehun squeezed once more at the imp's thigh before retracting his hand and placing it on his own knee instead. "If at any time you want me to take over, I can. Do you know the way to the aquarium, or should I search for the directions on my phone?"

@sehun o。ᵒʰˢᵉ The compliment coming from Sehun gave Hyunjin a different kind of boost, a truly something he has not felt even when his father complimented him on doing a good job. He grinned widely but kept his eyes on the road. "O-Oh, okay," the imp nodded, quickly glancing down where his feet were pushing against the pedals, and he slowly put pressure on the gas pedal. The hand on his thigh cause his temperature to spike, but with a relieving exhale, he calmed down, or tried to anyway. "Did you just... call me darling?" he asked, his ears burning, the car speeding up gradually. He could feel his heart beating faster, just like the car picked up speed, but he didn't let it overwhelm him, instead, he focused on the road, the hand reminding him that he was now responsible for Sehun too, the pet name ringing in his ear also as a reminder that what he meant to the imp. He calmed down, his heat slowly cooling down and his focus returning. This was practicing more than just driving.

@hyunjin h。ˢᵃᵘᶜʸᴶ "You are doing well," Sehun confirmed with a gentle nod. "With a bit more practice, I am sure you would be ready to take the driving test, and that is me being wholeheartedly honest." The wendigo felt beyond proud that his 'pupil' had improved so much since the first time they'd gone driving with Hyunjin behind the wheel. "You do not have to accelerate super fast, but you should at least try out the speed limit, darling." He uttered as he reached over and rested his hand on the other's thigh, palm down, giving it a comforting squeeze. "Take it easy. If things start to grow too overwhelming, slow back down, hm?"

@sehun o。ᵒʰˢᵉ The imp, step by step, did everything Sehun had instructed him before during the trials, and when the car came to life, he let out a happy cackle, bouncing in his seat. He quickly regained himself and grabbed the wheel, moving to stare at the gearshift as he moved it into drive. "I'm so good," he cheered, moving with a snail speed out of the parking spot. "At this rate, I might even earn my driver's license in this lifetime hehe," he chuckled, driving slowly, very carefully. "I'm so excited! But I can't go faster! I feel like if I stepped on the gas we would blast off," he chuckled, bouncing a bit in his seat again.

@hyunjin h。ˢᵃᵘᶜʸᴶ "I feel uncertain that I am worthy enough of this power I have over your happiness. Yet, even still...I do not wish for anyone else to have that power, either. Perhaps, I am just silly." Sehun shook his head in amusement, gave the excitable imp a squeeze in his one-armed embrace, and lightly bumped their noses together after their shared kiss before releasing his grip and tugging open the door to his vehicle. After slipping in and buckling the seatbelt across his lap, he merely watched the other in silence, not wanting to interrupt his train of thought while he made his attempt at starting the engine.

@sehun o。ᵒʰˢᵉ "Nono, the date at the aquarium is perfect! I just wanted to let you know that even if it wasn't happening, even if we just sat down right here, I'd be the happiest either way," Hyunjin exclaimed, giving Sehun another big kiss while cupping his cheeks, before he gently bounced to fix his work gym bag. "Shall we go? Let's go?" He confidently slid his bag into the trunk and skipped over to the driver's seat. The moment he sat in, he started chanting the process of starting up a car to himself, doing it exactly as the wendigo showed and taught him.

@hyunjin h。ˢᵃᵘᶜʸᴶ Sehun had all of two seconds to prepare for the imp barreling right into his larger frame. Quickly steadying himself so he wouldn't fall over, he placed one hand on the car and curled his other arm around Hyunjin to hold him close. "I missed you, too." He confessed, feeling an insane amount of stress leave with those few words. A chuckle then passed his lips. "Well, the aquarium was just a suggestion. We do not have to necessarily go there. We can...do whatever you would like." The wendigo nearly fell over again from the sudden kiss, but (thankfully) didn't, and of course, returned it without hesitation. Did he enjoy greeting words? Sure. Did he enjoy a greeting kiss? Most definitely.

@sehun o。ᵒʰˢᵉ Hyunjin exited the building of the gym faster than he ever had before, practically levitating out of there. As an unaware, uncalculated little pup, he crashed into Sehun who was leaning against the side of his car, wrapping himself around the man like the most loving and excited snake. "I missed you so much!" he exclaimed, no greetings, no nothing. All he needed was a hug, a kiss, any evidence of Sehun being right there in his arms. "I don't care about the whole date thing. I mean, I do, but honestly, all I care about is being with you," the imp pulled back, only to press a needy uncoordinated kiss on Sehun's lips, a different form of a greeting.

@hyunjin h。ˢᵃᵘᶜʸᴶ Although he knew he wasn't very good at showing it, the wendigo felt beyond excited for another opportunity to spend time with his favorite person. Plus lately, work had been taking a toll on him, and so, according to Sehun, the only proper way for him to unwind would be to bask in everything and anything relating to Hyunjin: his blinding smile, his contagious laugh, his rambunctious energy...all of it and then some. All of which he'd been deprived of lately because of his schedule. The urge to experience that once again made him drive probably way faster than he should have to reach the gym, but luckily for him, there weren't too many drivers on the road this afternoon. After parking out front, he shot the other a quick text to let him know he'd arrived, then circled around to the passenger's side of the car and leaned against it, one leg crossed over the other and his hands in his jean pockets.

@hyunjin h。ˢᵃᵘᶜʸᴶ "I hope so..." The angel murmurs, trailing off and saying nothing more despite looking as if he wanted to for a brief second. Instead, he smiles up at his friend and leans his elbows on the counter. "I think I'm tiny in comparison to most people but I'm slowly coming to terms with that. Besides, being tiny means I can slip away easier and fit into small spaces, so hah! Take that," he laughs merrily, clearly just teasing and joking around. It was nice to be able to do that with Hyunjin. He felt really guilty for not spending much time with him as of lately... "Hyunnie, you know I will proud of you no matter what you do in life. You're much stronger than you think and I'm seriously happy for you. I'll always be on the sidelines cheering for you." The angel promised with a beaming grin, his own freckled cheeks bunching up as well. He can't help but reach forward and lightly pat the imp's cheeks fondly at the sight of his infectious smile. "There it is~ So cute."

@felix l。ˢᵖʳᵉᵃᵈᵐʸʷᶦⁿᵍˢ "He surely won't. He wouldn't ask you if he had a doubt that," Hyunjin wondered, pouting his lips tiredly. "Don't, please," Hyunjin laughed, a hand coming up to rub at his own face, his fingers trying to rub some of the sleepiness out of his eyes. "You're tiny even compared to me, Freckles. But the point is, my pride would decrease by a whole lot if I let you carry me. Or anyone at that. My legs will do the job just fine, once I get a speck of energy back into my system. "Thank you, I will keep that in mind. But I will manage and you all will be proud of me when that happens," he smiled, a tight-lipped wide-wide grin which pushed his cheeks up to the point of his eyes disappearing. It was a tired smile, yet an honest one. He almost seemed and felt drunk at that point.

@hyunjin h。ˢᵃᵘᶜʸᴶ "A sleepover? Well... I guess so, yeah. I'm not sure how long I'll be welcome there... Hopefully he doesn't end up getting annoyed with me," trailing off for a brief second, he seems to snap out of his thoughts when Hyunjin spoke up again. His smile grew a little wider at the playful joke and he laughs softly, giving his friend a light nudge. "I'm sorry for not inviting you, Hyunnie. Perhaps some day we can have a sleepover of our own, yeah? Also you do know I can carry you, right?" The angel makes a vague gesture to his back and mutters, "Wings, and all - listen, I may be tiny compared to 'Yeol but I'm stronger than I look! I can totally carry you!" With a small pout puffing at his bottom lip, Felix places his hands on his hips, only pretending to be upset when really, he was just relieved to see his friend again. He looks off in the direction Hyunjin nodded towards and spots a few people gathered discussing something. "Well, the option is always open for you, okay? You're always welcome at the cottage, no matter what."

@felix l。ˢᵖʳᵉᵃᵈᵐʸʷᶦⁿᵍˢ To the cottage? The way there almost gave him a fatigue without even moving an inch. "You are? Is it like a sleepover?" Hyunjin asked, leaning back against his hands on top of the desk, his elbow giving in for at the first attempt, but the imp quickly stabilized himself. "And I wasn't invited," he pouted playfully, but rolled his eyes weakly to show that he was only joking. "I'm thankful, very, but I assume I'd fall flat on my face in the first doorway if I even made it up there," he scoffed, his head lolling to the side, resting lazily on his shoulder. "I'm healthy as they come, but the damn alarm needs fixing," he said lifelessly trying to nod his head towards the staff room where the alarm ran out of battery, giving him a heart attack in the middle of the night. "I'm glad you came, and even more grateful for your offer, but every decision I make right now will benefit my sleepiness. Basically, if I could just sleep like this right now, without moving or thinking or anything, that would be my best option of all," he said with a weak snort which was supposed to be a laugh.

@hyunjin h。ˢᵃᵘᶜʸᴶ "To the cottage, silly." Felix teased light-heartedly, releases his hold so that the other male could pull back. He could see the clear exhaustion oozing from the imp and it did nothing to ease his ever growing concern. "I'm staying over at 'Yeol's place for a little while, so the cottage will be empty. I would like it if someone watched over it until I returned and, I've welcomed you in before so..." He lifts his shoulders in a small shrug as he followed alongside him, reaching out to rub Hyunjin's arm gently. "I'm just laying an option out for you if you want it, that's all. You obviously know the place and the cupboards are filled. And you can get the rest you clearly need without much disturbances. Hey, stop that," the angel scolds lightly with a serious look in his eye. "You're my best friend, Hyunnie. Good mood or not, I'm still going to make sure you're safe and healthy. And right now, it doesn't look like you are."

@felix l。ˢᵖʳᵉᵃᵈᵐʸʷᶦⁿᵍˢ "I know," the imp sighed heavily. "Drag me where?" Hyunjin asked, finally regaining enough power to push himself away from Felix, his eyes droopy and tired. "If it's not a furniture shop with 'try-me' beds, I'm not going," he huffed, pushing his hair out of his face, sighing loudly. "I'm still working, but I told the others that I'm taking the check-in desk 'cause I can barely stand. I told you, I'm an awful companion for today," he scoffed exasperatedly, leading Felix a little further in, so he could lean against the front desk lazily.

@hyunjin h。ˢᵃᵘᶜʸᴶ A small laughs resonates from the angel as his hold tightens, palms smoothing over Hyunjin's back and shoulders. He lets his friend lean on him, considerably stronger than perceived and the unfortunate string of past illnesses. "Nonsense. I wanted to come," Felix assured patiently. "I care a lot about you, ya know? I wouldn't have given you that bracelet if I didn't. Are you sure you need to be here, though? You're exhausted, Hyunnie, I'm really tempted to drag you out of here right now."

@felix l。ˢᵖʳᵉᵃᵈᵐʸʷᶦⁿᵍˢ "Heya~," a lifeless greeting came out of the imp's mouth as he passed the reception desk, leaning in to throw himself into Felix's arms, tired, leaning most of his weight on the poor little angel. "You didn't have to come," he whined. "I haven't slept properly and I' still stuck here. Thank god they don't want me to perform any workout routines or I would have died," he complained barely able to stand on his feet.

@hyunjin h。ˢᵃᵘᶜʸᴶ Felix practically rushed to get to the gym, worried about his dear friend. It's not like he was very far from the fitness center anyways so it didn't take that long to walk over there. Of course, the little angel didn't bother getting dressed into a more appropriate pair of clothes; set in wearing sweats and a loose tee, clearly not the go-to outfit one would wear when going to work out but how he looked at the moment mattered little. Once Hyunjin's figure was in sight, Felix quickly shuffles around a group of people heading out and moves toward him with a warm smile, arms lifting to bring the other male into a tight hug. "I'm here, Hyunnie."

@yiyeon j。ˡᵃᵛᵉⁿᵈᵉʳʸᶦ @wooseok j。ʰᵉᵃˡᶦⁿᵍ-ˢᵒᵘˡ @taeyeon k。ᵃˡᵖʰᵃᶦⁿᵃʳᶦ "It's alright, there's no one here anyway, " Hyunjin declared as he threw his arm into the direction of the main gym with all the equipment. He set the yoga mats down on the floor. "If anything, we'll toss a chocolate puff at my boss and that's it," he laughed, flopping down on the floor first, taking the lead.

@yiyeon j。ˡᵃᵛᵉⁿᵈᵉʳʸᶦ @wooseok j。ʰᵉᵃˡᶦⁿᵍ-ˢᵒᵘˡ @taeyeon k。ᵃˡᵖʰᵃᶦⁿᵃʳᶦ "Fine, uhm," Hyunjin clasped his hands together, ready to talk. "I have no idea," he grinned awkwardly. "Let's make him do the laps, as a punishment for forgetting a whole being," he joked obviously, the intention visible on his grimacing face. "I don't know, really. Do you want to actually do something or just go ahead and eat?" he asked unsure, walking over to rolled up yoga mats, which they could use to sit on.

@yiyeon j。ˡᵃᵛᵉⁿᵈᵉʳʸᶦ @wooseok j。ʰᵉᵃˡᶦⁿᵍ-ˢᵒᵘˡ @taeyeon k。ᵃˡᵖʰᵃᶦⁿᵃʳᶦ "Hi... guys," Hyunjin was taken aback, but amused by the siblings' hilarious incident. He pushed the door open farther letting them all inside. "The room is over there," he pointed down the hall, directing the group there. "Choco puffs," he hummed cheefully.

@yiyeon j。ˡᵃᵛᵉⁿᵈᵉʳʸᶦ @wooseok j。ʰᵉᵃˡᶦⁿᵍ-ˢᵒᵘˡ @taeyeon k。ᵃˡᵖʰᵃᶦⁿᵃʳᶦ Hyunjin was checking his phone for the time being, his feet up on the reception desk, something he shouldn't do. His eyes lifted up as a figure appeared through the glass wall in his peripheral and he sprung to his feet gladly. He replied quickly to the app chatroom. He got to his feet, dressed in a comfortable, athletic attire which was required by his workplace. Opening the door, he peered outside to greet the woman. "Hi," he grinned brightly. "Come on in, you don't have to be scared. Where are the others?" he asked as he stepped aside, holding the glass door open.
