@♗ Handong Shaking her head with a broad grin, Hyosung thought back on her brothers. She missed her family despite it's flaws and though her younger siblings never had to endure what she'd been put through, she still loved them dearly. Siblings can be wonderful but they can also be a complete pain. You learn to ride between the line of understanding. They're boys, their love language is torment, especially when they were younger. But I... I don't think anyone ever sets out to hurt those they care about. I know you wouldn't purposely do anything to hurt me, just as I would never go out of my way to bring tears to your eyes." Startled by the tender action, Hyo glanced back towards Handong meeting the lovely woman's face as she nodded slowly, her features softening as she smiled once more. "I suppose that would work as well. Yes, I'd like that. I hope you won't mind if I take a quick shower when we get there? Sea water is horrible on the skin." With a quiet laugh she stepped out of the car to return to the passenger's seat only after making certain that Handong was safely settled in as well.

@♖ Jun Hyoseong A chuckle left the mistress lips once again at the cute reaction of the beauty infron of her " that's really mean. Well tickling in general is a little mean but not stopping a bit more. I would never want to make you cry"
Handong wanted to open to tell her that it wasnt her fear yet she couldn't. She'd lie if those words of hers werent the ones she was trying to hide away inside of her. " I.. i guess you're right..
Well yea i still need to show you my agency i think you'll like it there but dont worry ma bijou, i would never kidnap you." She noticed her blush and with a gently move she took the beauty's hand and placed a soft kiss on the back of her hand
"Lets go to my room. I think my room is more cozy than the lounge. What do you say?"

@♗ Handong With a startled gasp, Hyosung pulled her hand away still feeling the lingering sensation of Handong's lips on her flesh. "Well now you know the answer even though I wish you didn't. I've never been a fan of being tickled, even when I was a child. When you're tickled to the point of crying and begging for it to stop, it kind of takes the fun out of it. My brothers were quite stubborn at times." Her thumb smoothed across the gentle planes of Handong's cheek, voice quieting as she watched the mistress curiously. "Then why does it feel like you're afraid to let go? Like I'm going to disappear the moment we part ways? I like you, Doyangi. I'm not the type to just run from all my problems if I can help it. And I definitely wouldn't run from you. I enjoy being around you, even if I could see you actually contemplating kidnapping me, mistress. Besides, you have to show me where your agency is right? So that I can use the studio to practice. So there's nothing to worry about. I don't have any intentions of avoiding you at the mansion either." At the reminder of their makeshift home, Hyo's cheeks began to heat up, clearing as she looked away placing her palms in her lap to clear her mind of the chaos that awaited her. "Right... Yes, let's go back. Since it's so nice out, why don't we enjoy our dessert on the lounge? I'll prepare some blankets and warm beverages for us to relax with."

@♖ Jun Hyoseong Once she felt the finger against her lips she chuckled and gave it a kiss too. Pulling away she couldnt help but grin " i mean my head may be random at times. And seeing your waist be so bare i had to check if you are ticklish~" handong couldnt help but to lean into her touch when her cheek was cupped " i- i know that.. kidnap you? Don't put any weord ideas into my head~
Im just kidding. So shall we head back to the mansion, ma bijou?"

@♗ Handong "I thought you'd want to use the time to relax or talk more. But instead..." The maiden turned to face Handong with a gentle smile, placing a finger upon the elder's lips when the taunting kisses continued. "I should have been worrying about what ideas go through that head of yours, especially if you're trying to use tickling as a means of seduction." Hyoseong sat up properly, gently easing out of Handong's grasp as she turned to face her, angling her head as she cupped the woman's soft cheek. "Doyangi... It's not as though this is the last time we'll ever see each other. Instead of trying to drag the night out, we should be making the most of it, together. Now unless you plan on trying to attack me again or kidnap me while I'm vulnerable and half in the back of your car, we should get going. If there weren't questions before, there definitely will be if the police find us like this in the parking lot."

@♖ Jun Hyoseong "Oh nooo. I don't want you to hold a grudge against me" dongie hummed out and and kissed her shpulderblade once more but this time even being more daring and placing a kiss on her neck." Ooh? What did you imagine us doing with 10 more extra minutes?" Dongie tilted her head curious about that the other might have thought of. " well that is true.. i definitely dont want this night to be over so soon.."

@♗ Handong "Very wise, Doyangi~ I'm known to hold grudges," her eyes narrowed before bursting into laughter once more, finally stopping her teasing once Handong conceded. The tension in her body slowly eased from the small kiss, shaking her head though she couldn't bring herself to truly be mad at the elder. "Fun for you perhaps, but I suppose you could have done much worse than tickle me, so I should be grateful. Though it's certainly not what I imagined when you asked for a bit more time together." Glancing over her shoulder, the hazel orbs softened at the affectionate display. "You know going home doesn't mean the night has to be over. We could make some coffee to go with our cake."

@♖ Jun Hyoseong " i won't tell anyone. I dont want you to be mad at me" handong chuckled and wrapped her arms around hyos. Leaning closer she placed a soft kiss on her shoulderblade in an apologetic way " I'm sorry ma bijou. I won't tickle you anymore. But her even the 10 minites of toture are fun when with me~" she said in a teasing way and placed her chin on top of the beauty's shpulder and softly uzzled her face into the crook of hyos neck

@♗ Handong Her legs kicked out from under her, breath violently fighting for purchase as the tickling ceased. The beauty frowned once she finally caught her breath, damning her exposed body and Handong's experiment with flushed cheeks before huffing in protest, a whine trilling behind the garbled words. "If you ever tell anyone, I will never forgive you, Doyangi. No tickles." Hyo whispered covering her sides while holding at the elder warily, certain the woman would strike the moment she found an open spot. "I didn't think 10 more minutes meant ten minutes of torture~"

@♖ Jun Hyoseong Handong couldn't help but to laugh herself seeing how hyosung tried to squirm out of her grip. She must admit her tickle attack was unfair and mischievous and she would make sure to apologize later on but for now she kept hyosung in her arms and tickled her for a few more seconds
"Okay okay I'll stop~ i didn't knoe you were this ticklish~"

@♗ Handong A hum of acknowledgement followed the new nickname, glancing up towards the mistress, a brow arching at the mischievous grin directed towards her. "That's a very... Sudden.... Ah!!" She screeched, bursts of forced laughter tumbling endlessly as she struggled to squirm out of Handong's vicious grip and away from the taunting fingers. "Handong this... This is completely unfair!!"

@♖ Jun Hyoseong A happy gin firmed on dongies lips when hyosung approved of this 10 minutes. Something inside her wanted to be like this for the whole evening but the knew once those 10 minites were over their way back to the mansion would begin. " Ma Bijou.." dongie started " are you ticklish..?"
A smirk formed on handongs lips when she gently started to tickle the sides of the beauty infront of her

@♗ Handong Returning the smile as the warmth of Handong's lips lingered on her own, Hyosung leaned closer into the elder and nodded conceding to her offer. "10 more minutes, Doyangi." Her eyes fell shut once more as a delicate hum filled the silence. There was no need to talk, simply the joy of their presence together was enough to bring joy to her heart. She enjoyed spending time with Handong, getting to see beyond the title she embraced at the mansion.

@♖ Jun Hyoseong Handongs eyes closed for a second when she kissed the beauty back. Those soft lips.. oh how much she liked them against her own. Woth a small smile she pulled the beauty once again closer to her own. A sigh in content left her lips when she felt the familiar warmth against her body
" we don't need to be away for the whole night jist a little longer.. how about 10 more minutes?"
With a tilt of her head she looked into hypsungs eyes her lips curled up to a soft smile

@♗ Handong At the sight of the elder's adorable frown, a sight that completely disarmed Hyosung startled to see such a cute expression on the cold beauty, the maid leaned in to press a single, gentle kiss against the jutting flesh before slotting herself back into the comfort of Handong's arms. "Unfortunately duty still calls. Two nights off in a row, people will start to think I'm getting special treatment. But, we don't have to leave just yet if you're not ready."

@♖ Jun Hyoseong More and more questions rose up in dongies head yet she kept quiet at least for know. " can't we go a little later..?" A small pout played on her lips. Especially since the qarmth of hyosungs left her arms moments ago
"I want to stay a little longer like this.." she admitted yet her voice was soft once again opening her arms for the beauty to slip in again

@♗ Handong With a shake of her head, Hyosung's voice softened as she answered that burning question. "My mother is precisely why I'm even here..." Sitting up from the comfort of Handong's embrace, the maiden tried to manage a smile as she gave the mistress' hand a reassuring squeeze. "So, should we get going? Our cake will get soggy if we just keep sitting here divulging our lives secrets."

@♖ Jun Hyoseong Subconsciously handong pulled the beauty even closer to her body. She understood her pain very well. One thing she wished was that hyo should have never went through something like that.
"Whatever your mother said about you isnt true.. its her loss that she doesn't know what kind of wonderful daughter she has"
She leaned down and placed soft a kiss onto hyosungs cheek. With a small tilts of her head her eyes wandered over her features
"Why don't you start over..? I mean your mother isnt here right so that could mean a new start to chasing your dreams.."

@♗ Handong Anyone who lived a life without any regrets was truly lying to themselves. Those traces of lost hope, fortunes that slipped between your fingers, were precisely what made mortality so painfully enviable. With the bad flats comes something good whether it was known or not but whatever came to the surface first for Handong, that would tell her what fears resonated with her the most. "So trusting the one you love... Only to have them betray you in the end," A scar that ran deep. Hyosung didn't have to think long admit the question for there was one thing that would forever stain the joy in her life. "Believing I'm not good enough." She answered simply at first before releasing a deep, thoughtful sigh. "Any dreams I ever tried to pursue, any time I took a step towards something I loved or just wanting acknowledgement, my mother would always find a way to knock me down.... Until I started believing her words to be true.."

@♖ Jun Hyoseong Handong nodded her head softly with a small smile. She didnt want to dog in to much for their first date even if handong was curious about hyo. " as much as i would love to do it i think I'm will pass on that. Id rather live a few more years i still haven't accomplished eveything that i wanted in my life"A small chuckle left handong lips
"hmm.."
Anything she regretted. A lot of things came to her mind. Trusting the wrong people and eventually even falling for someone she probably shouldn't have in the past " isnt there something we all regret? Probably even missed opportunities or just the wrong person giving your heart to. For me personally is trusting that one person who i thought was the one.. turns out she cheated on me with a guy she said not to worry about.. what about you, ma bijou?"

@♗ Handong It was a harsh truth she knew all too well. Her mother had never been doting, had never sent more than a resigned smile in her direction and though her father did his best to make up for her lack of affection, he was ultimately aligned with whatever punishments and discomforts her mother deemed fit. Faithfully loyal to the bitter end. She never faulted him for it, admired his dedication and devotion to the woman he loved while always hoping to one day experience how it would feel to live someone that passionately as well. "Hmmm? Oh it's nothing," Hyosung quickly dismissed the question, instead giving the elder's hand a small squeeze, chuckling at the motorcycle rebuttal with a bright grin. "Definitely don't, those things are speeding death traps. Even if they look cool, there's very little protection when you get into an accident. But I'm sure just knowing you owned one would have your family up in a tizzy~ don't listen to me though. I'm being a bad influence right now. Honestly speaking, I'd rather you be safe and comfortable than completely reckless. Though I have to admit it can be fun on occasion. Have you ever done anything you regret?"

@♖ Jun Hyoseong " it surely isnt granted for parents to be always the caring and loving type.."
Handong closes her eyes and rested at the side of hyosung. Her fingertips drew small patterns over the smooth skin as a small hum in content left dongies lips
" to be honest i like that we have many things in common. We did go through a lot of pain but that only let us grew into the person that we are today.. scrunity? How that?"
Handong pulled the beauty subconsciously closer to herself, the warmth that radiated from the beautys body made her hum in content
" hmm maybe i should really get a motorcycle but i have to say im more than content owning a car"

@♗ Handong "Even when I was an only child, all that meant was that my parents had expectations for me, my mother in particular. It may be easy for some, especially when you have parents who spoil you or shower you with love as if you were the most precious gift in the world, but I guess not all children are as fortunate, even if they are the only one." She whispered taking Handong's hand into her own to trace swirls upon the flesh, growing drowsy under the comfort of heat. She understood completely how Handong must have felt as she experienced that disappointed expression from her mother all her life, the disdain towards her only growing once her brothers were born. "I guess we have more in common than I thought... Though I wish we didn't because that kind of pain.. nothing can erase it. Even now I'm still under their scrutiny..." She whispered to herself, eyes falling shut as she leaned further into Handong before grinning. "Now all you need is a motorcycle and you will have definitely hit the peek of the 'rebellious child' phase."

@♖ Jun Hyoseong Handong gently hugged the waist of the beauty while her hand gently caressed her curves in a way to warm her up. Her cheek rested on top of hyosungs head as a small hum left dongies lips "rebellious no, but that came with time. I did try to prove myself to my parents. People say its easy to be an only child but not when you have chinese parents. They were really strict and when i didnt meet up to their expectations they always had this look of shame in their face.. but hey once i noticed that it was enough i got rebellious and started to travel the world"

@♗ Handong The beauty's brow arched high at the suggestion, curious to why the backseat would be better for 'warming up' when the vents were so perfectly placed in the front but Hyo didn't argue, having a feeling the elder only expressed the thought as an excuse to be closer. Settling inside the car, the maiden tried to make herself comfortable while wrapping her arms around the exposed flesh of her body to contain what little warmth she could. All the while her gaze stayed on the figure traversing the beach, watchful for any shady individuals who may be lingering. It was only once Handong made it back to the car that the brunette released the breath she'd been holding, tension leaving her body. "I've been in enough situations to know it's better to be expect the worse than pretend nothing at all could happen... But I'm glad you're alright. The seats have warmed up a bit now," she gently patted the spot beside her as the blanket engulfed her, resting her head upon Handong's shoulder. "Doyangi... Have you always been so rebellious? Wanting to prove yourself?"

@♖ Jun Hyoseong Dongie pouted a little when she saw that hyo slipped put of the blanket and wrapprd it around her " okay.. but ill turn on the heater for you.. oh and lets sit in fhe backseat for a while while we warm up"
Dongie eent to the drivers side and furned on the beater of the cat before walking towards the beach. She picked up their clothes carefully dusting the sand off of them before her way wsnt towrads the restaurant to pick their dessert up. Once done she walked back to the car and putting everything to the front and joining the beuty in the backseat gently slipping out of the blanket to cover both of them again " see told you nothing would happen, ma bijou~"

@♗ Handong Her eyes instantly shot up at the elder's words, the bright hazel dimming at Handong's offer. "If I didn't want you to walk to the car alone, what makes you think I'd be okay with just sitting here in the warmth while you're out there all alone in the cold with no clothes... Even if you can defend yourself, I still don't like it..." Instead, Hyosung slipped out of the blanket, a deep frown on her lips as she knotted the fabric around Handong turning the blanket into a makeshift dress. "Since you keep worrying about me and not yourself, this is the only compromise I'm willing to make. If you insist on trying to be my prince charming, ibat least don't want you to get hurt while doing so. Be careful, okay? I'll keep an eye out from here."

@♖ Jun Hyoseong Handong could only nod her head at the words of the women in her arms. She would never want to hurt anyone intentionally especially not hyo. Her hand moved on its own and gently caressed the small of hyosungs back while having the beauty in her embrace
"Should we go get them now? I mean i could go on my own and you sit in the car and warm up if you like"

@♗ Handong Hyosung hadn't thought over the words that fell between them, didn't question the depth of what she'd said after being lulled into the comfort of Handong's presence but the tremble in her voice caused Hyosung to peer up wondering just how deeply those words had resonated with the beauty to leave her so vulnerable. "I trust that you are a good person within, that you wouldn't do anything to hurt me, or anyone intentionally, that your intentions on getting to know each other are genuine. " Her arms came up to hug Handong's slender form, eyes falling shut from the comfort of the elder. "We can always return to watch the sunset another night. I think taking care of ourselves would be a much better idea for now. We'll have to go back for our clothes and cake though." She shuddered keeping the blanket you to fight off the cool air.

@♖ Jun Hyoseong If handong was a cat or a cat hybrid she would have definitely purred by now. The warmth that radiated from hyo felt good after the small water fight they had. Though fhe next word's of hers surprised dongie yet made her heart skip a beat
"Ma bijou, y-you trust me..?"
Her voice was soft a little hesitant even to ask her. A small flashback of earlier ran through her mind and now to hear this it qas a pleasant surprise. Dongie placed a soft kiss on top of her head then leaned her cheek against hyos head
"Should we maybe sit in the car? At least that way we make it comfortable while warming up?"
