park

@kim sunwoo "Maybe when you're free we can catch up if you'll like to that is." She said almost trailing off at the end not wanting to over step on anything. The normally super chatty persona seem to do a 180 as she wonder how to make things less awkward on her part. "It's crazy how we ended up at the same place nearly at the same time then." The thought of fate humor her for a short time, but she shook it off as she heard her group. "Hmm I did it's to bad we have to disband before getting out a final album." She let out a bittersweet smile recalling the real reason for everything. "Ahh you join the boyz didn't you? How are you enjoying it so far?"

@kim jiyeon “ah yeah, relaxing is always nice to do, i agree.” He muttered as his orbs began to partially wander at her, noticing the physical changes from when he last saw her. She is indeed more beautiful.. he had thought to himself and let out a pleased sigh. He is intrigued as to what else she’s been up to, and would like to know whenever the time is right to bring it up. “Mhm, I noticed I got some free time in my schedule and chose to just take a walk at the park nearby to be away from others. I’m really glad as well..” Some moments did end up passing by but they weren’t too long, just swift of course. “Oh- I noticed you joined the group Lovelyz at one point, did you enjoy? Sad to see you guys disbanded- “ he uttered out, kinda unsure how to make conversation but he’s trying at least.

@christopher bang right? from your point of view, it is cute. hums as I watch you nod your head. maybe it'll happen if our companies allow it! if not, then we can settle for tiktok videos? laughs as I think of us doing those challenges instead. I'm glad that you are! anyway, how is the food? is it coming?

@nakamoto yuta her cheeks grew red with a bit of embarrassment but she smiled softly as he pulled her up. feeling his head against hers, yena’s eyes fluttered closed. his words were gentle and reassuring. though this wasn’t her ideal way to ask him out, she couldn’t be more happy than she was at this moment. “i’d have to say that i am the luckiest girl in the universe” she stated as she pecked his nose. “thank you for saying yes, my love. i’m so happy!” her arms wrapped around him as she gave him a gentle hug.

@lee soohyuk His surprise was amusing to Dara as she turned to face him, her eyes turning into crescents as she smiled at the reaction. "You think some random person would just sit by you?" she inquired with a light laugh and shrugged her shoulders at his question. The woman scooted away from him as she felt his arm draw near and quickly stood once more, never one to be too comfortable with idle contact from anyone. At the mention of Chaerin she couldn't help but to roll her eyes and cross her arms over her chest. "We speak every once in a while. Don't the two of you still talk?"

@sandara park Soohyuk didn't think much of it when someone took a seat next to him. A few minutes past and there were still no signs of Sandara but when he looked to the side, he jumped in his seat, dramatically grabbing his chest. "Noona, you scared me! I thought you were someone else." He laughed, patting his chest to calm himself down but his brows were knitting together unconsciously. "Why didn't you say hi? I was waiting for you." He smiled. "It's been so long since I've last seen you in person!" He says as he playfully wrapped his long arm over her shoulders. "Have you heard from Chaerin recently?"

@lee soohyuk Although she said she had been ready in the chat, she had been somewhat exaggerating. Dara still had to brush her teeth and get on her shoes which wouldn't have been so bad except that she then couldn't find her purse after that either. Several minutes later than she had intended, she set out towards the park wearing simple jeans, t-shirt and black hoodie. Her face was covered with a pastel pink mask and her hair was pulled into a loose ponytail to the back of her head. Casual comfort was the name of the game for the evening as she stepped lightly along the paths until she found her target.

Without saying a word, she simply sat beside the figure and set her bag on her lap quietly. He seemed intent on his phone and she figured it was probably more important than her anyway. Soohyuk was a busy and popular man and the entire meeting had been her idea so she would wait to do it at his pace.

@sandara park dara was right. it wasn't cold but it wasn't hot either. he felt relieved that he was just wearing a casual baggy shirt and fitting joggers today. he didn't feel like covering up much but he did wear a baseball cap and a black mask. he made his way to one of the benches facing the bridge and he took his phone out of his pocket to check for any messages from her. seeing there were none, he allowed himself to get comfortable on the bench and started scrolling through his instagram feed.

@choi yena the whole situation was spontaneous in nature, not that he minded of course, and her smile was contagious. despite his own smile he couldn't help but raise an eyebrow as she started to speak, and as sweet as the scenario was, a bubble of laughter escaped his lips before he could catch it. immediately his hands reached out to hold hers, his eyes twinkling with affection. "sorry, just...seeing you like this. it's cuter than I ever imagined." his smile turned soft as he stood up, pulling her up with him as he let his hands fall to encircle around her waist, pulling her close as he rested his forehead against her own. "choi yena. being your boyfriend...would be the highlight of my life. better than being able to perform at the tokyo dome." he chuckled and pressed a light kiss to her forehead, then her nose, before finally ending at her lips. "that would not only make /me/ the happiest man on earth...but also the luckiest."

@nakamoto yuta walking into the park with his hand in hers, she smiled softly as she led him to a park bench in front of a small pond. the sun was just setting and it was the perfect cliche romance vibe that yena had only seen in movies. she sat him down and stood in front of him. “yuta, i have a very important question to ask. i know this isn’t as big as i thought i wanted it to be…. you are such an amazing person, funny, caring, loving… really the whole package. and i don’t want to miss out on this opportunity” she trailed off, thoughts consuming her brain, she took a deep breath in before slowly letting it out and looked into his eyes, crouched down so she was looking up at him. “i’m just going to come out and say it… will you make me one of the happiest girls on earth and be my boyfriend?”

@kim sunwoo The first thing she noticed was now tall he gotten over the years. It lead her to wonder what else about him was different, but she had a feeling she'll learn in due time. "Relaxing is always welcome. It's nice to take get some fresh air once in a while without having to worry about anything or anyone." She softy said with an equally sweet smile. "I'm really glad to see you doing well though." She trailed off not sure what to say anymore since she didn't want to ask to many questions, and seem nosy. She's not even sure if say or do anything to make things less awkward.

@christopher bang I am! thoughts of food make me feel full somewhat. o, that's not cute at all... well, to me in my point of view. scrunches my nose and shakes my head after. are you excited, huh? it'll take a while, but I hope it happens. gives your hand a gentle squeeze back as I smile slightly at you. I am comfortable, and I hope that you are too.

@kim jiyeon many years have passed by since they’ve previously encountered one another and he can’t help but think that jiyeon has for sure changed, in multiple ways and he’s intrigued by that. he let out a small, pleased hum, flashing a small grin right back at her, in a tenderly manner. sunwoo kept his gaze over at the latter while listening to her response as he nodded his head a bit. “ah, yes hii. that’s good, right? relaxing is lovely.” he answered, sweet toned. “I’ve been doing just about the same as well. pretty decent and relaxing whenever i have free time to do so.. like now.”

@christopher bang a dinner would be nice! though I feel full already by just the thought of it. shakes my head, trying to remove any thoughts involving food. I believe it to be a great performance when I'm sure that we'll be doing our best. glances over at your side then laughs shyly when you try to hold my hand before I move to interlock our fingers, settling them comfortably. this is okay, I don't mind it. what about you?

@kim sunwoo It took a few seconds for her to realized someone was talking to her. It took a few more to realized whom it was. Jiyeon inwardly sighed before smiling somewhat awkwardly towards Sunwoo. She took the chance to give him a proper once look over since she been discovered. "Hi it really has been a long while. I been good just relaxing or trying to." She mumbled the last part under her breathe. "How have you been though after all this time?" She asked half to be polite, and the other in curiosity.

@kim jiyeon the social media check of his didn’t last long when he heard the woman’s voice respond to his little greet. out of curiosity, sunwoo swiftly switched off his phone to place it into his pocket once more as his focus moved over to the latter, his eyes widen a bit by surprise upon recognizing who it is. “Jiyeon?” Sunwoo spoke out and gazed at her as she had sat down. Completely different… different from the previous time we’re last met and seen each other. What a nice surprise. little hums left his brims, “it’s.. been awhile, yes? how are you doing?”

@kim sunwoo "Oh, hello." Jiyeon paused in her steps hearing the other. She was a bit surprised as she took a closer glance at him. "Hmm?" She felt he seem familiar from a distance, and being bother by it she walked closer to him. "Sunwoo." She unconsciously said while her eyes widen. Jiyeon quickly spin around on her heels to backtrack upon realizing who it was. It was just her luck to bump into him out of all people. Maybe just maybe he didn't recognize her as he was busy on his phone. She sat down on the other bench as old bury memories resurface one by one resulting in her completely zoning out.

@kim jiyeon Sunwoo leaned back into where he is sat at on the parking bench, lost into his thoughts for just a few moments. Surprisingly there weren’t too many people around which was fairly good for him, not too many to deal with. His eyes wandered over new footsteps sounding as if one walked over his direction. He glanced up and noticed a lady around his age or possibly a tad older, who knows. “hm..? Hello “ he uttered out in a way, unsure if she’d notice him or not but it’s whatever. sunwoo shrugged it off and pulled out his phone from his pocket to scroll through some social media for a bit.

@christopher bang reaches to poke my cheek, checking if it's poke worthy. maybe it is! full meal later- does that mean we'll have dinner together then? I hope that they enjoy the performance. it'll be the collab of the century, okjk. that was an exaggeration, but maybe it will feel like that to them. hums and nods again as I close my eyes for a second, imagining it. mm, I agree with that. time seems more enjoyable when you're with your loved ones.

@christopher bang makes a small noise once you poke my cheek and brushes off your finger playfully. are my cheeks poke-able? I'm sure that it's enough! don't hesitate to order more, chan. nods at you as I give you a thumbs up after. that would be nice! I'm sure that the fans would love to see us perform together, aespa x stray kids. o, you love to do those too? that's good to know.

@kim sunwoo Jiyeon sighed happily at the nice weather as she got ready to go out. It was a nice day to clear her head with a walk. She headed to the park where she knew it would be little people around especially at this time. She sighed once more upon reaching her targeted location, and slow her walked as she went for her usually to sit. She had to do a double take as she spotted someone already there. Jiyeon looked around to see a free bench not that far away, and decided to sit there instead.

@kim jiyeon sunwoo faintly hummed a lil song that’s flowing through his mind as he began to make his way over to the park. his schedule was pretty free so he decided to go out for a nice walk, and the weather was fairly decent so there’s that plus too. he made his way over to the nearby park and breathed in the soothing air. pretty peaceful, not too many people around surprisingly. a soft sigh of content left his lipseul as he strolled around the area for a few minutes, eventually finding a park bench to take a seat down at, partially being hidden by some trees.

@christopher bang both hard work, but worth it. nods once more and hands you the phone for you to order our food. I'll let you know if I'm still hungry later on! I usually listen to music, and practice... singing, rapping, and dancing. I would like to further improve my skills everyday- though, for lighter activities, I would watch movies and eat good food, heh.

@christopher bang mm, let's lean on each other! that's true, we all experience the same thing either way. blinks and laughs as I take your phone despite myself being fine with peeking. all the time in the world, and we're here trying our best to live it. scrolls through the numerous food items and nods. alright, we could have coffee and hot chocolate- let's order tteokbokki! I suddenly crave for them, heh.

@christopher bang we are! you're someone I can tell about the pros and cons of being a leader since you're in the industry longer than I am. glances over to your phone as you try to ask me what we could be ordering. it's a relaxing time for us, no worrying over other things today. o, can we get a warm drink or maybe snack whichever is applicable?

@christopher bang copying me, are we? just kidding! teases as my laughter leaves my lips before nodding, leaning back slightly as I continue to focus my gaze on the lake. I want you to know that I appreciate it too. we're busy, and yet, we choose to spend our free time together. hums, noticing your movement before nodding. I'm a little hungry too- what do you suggest we eat, chan?

@christopher bang laughs as you thank me too before nodding again. it's an honor to receive thanks from the leader himself- though, you're welcome! settles myself beside you and looks at the lake nearby before glancing over at you. pretty sure this lady will say yes! this is relaxing, don't you think?

@christopher bang sighs in relief when you answer before nodding while listening intently to you. it is overwhelming to do a whole lot, yet you had fun and that's good! o, in behalf of aespa, thank you for the compliment. we strive to give our best every day! chan please- though let's say we're both honored to be with each other now.

@christopher bang o, I hope you're not afraid at the moment! snaps my fingers and turns my focus towards you. right, you had a comeback! I saw, you and your members did great! blushes a little at your compliment before rubbing my nape shyly. I'm honored to even have this walk with you, despite your busy schedule.

@christopher bang I won't worry! chirps out while I start to walk with you before I hum a tune once the silence envelopes us. it's been a while since I went out with someone else other than my members and family. mutters and laughs shyly while I glance at you still looking around the park.
