⇻ park

@◦ k. taehyung ᵗᵃᵉᵛᵃⁿᵗᵉ Once upon a time, Hyeok was sitting in a desk chair, feet up on a counter, slouching. Bright blue light from his phone streamed onto his face, fingers hastily tapping away on the screen. He was engaging in pointless discord on his latest method of procrastination: a dating app with a surprisingly lively group chat feature. Two figures came down the stairs and Hyeok looked up just long enough to make sure the taller of the two dropped a room key into a box. Then they were off, and Hyeok's focus was back on his phone. When he'd logged into the app hours ago, he had been expecting another day of bad jokes and fleeting amusement. Instead, he managed to get himself invited to a farm to try riding a horse. What the , right?

Hyeok was a city guy. He liked his clothes and bought nice ones, expensive ones, ones that had to be kept clean or he might cry. So, first priority was buying new clothes. It took two days for him to find the time to go out and buy clothes. But... he was ready. He rented a car and drove off. 'This is nuts.', he thought to himself, 'The first person I'm meeting off a dating app and it's a taken guy living on a farm.' He laughed airily. Hyeok was excited, and the bright smile on his face showed it.

Some time later....

Dressed in black army-style boots, grey jeans and a massively oversized hoodie with multiple layers underneath, he arrived on a farm, for the first time in his life. It smelled like . Fresh . So... okay, I guess. After parking the car, he went back into the app to message Tae. --Hey, I'm here. Where do I go?-- Sunglasses perched on the top of his head, he had a clutch in one hand, and a small gift basket in the other.

@◦ j. wookjin ⁰⁰_ᶠᵒˣ /sticks out my tongue not liking the subject. melts into a smile seeing you be cheesy. lets you lead me inside
Well maybe I can make you breakfast. We might have similar wake up times
/kisses your cheek
Should we just watch stuff and lead up to the cuddles or do you want to jump into it?

@◦ s. mingi ᴾʳᶦⁿᶜᵉˢˢᴮᴰᴱ Again, dating anybody can be ed, just depending on who it is. Guy, girl, other... Everyone has their baggage.
/pretends to catch it and tuck it into the collar of my shirt
... Close to my heart, just because it's you.
/punches a code into the door and brings you inside, the small studio space being clean and tidy
This is it, where... Literally nothing happens but me sleeping. And now cuddling you, I guess?

@◦ j. wookjin ⁰⁰_ᶠᵒˣ I don't get a gold star. I still have with them. I just learned my lesson on dating them.
/blows a kiss
This is clearly leading to us laying in bed together and cuddling. Beyond that is a welcome surprise.

@◦ s. mingi ᴾʳᶦⁿᶜᵉˢˢᴮᴰᴱ Why do I feel like I'm talking to the gold star of gays suddenly?
/looks over my shoulder at you, brow cocked and smirking
Playing, of course. Dating can no matter who it is.
/takes your hand and drags you up the stairs to my little apartment
Oh? And where do you think this is leading, hm?

@◦ j. wookjin ⁰⁰_ᶠᵒˣ Ewwww
/chuckles puttng you down. shrugs when you mention women.
Good thing I don't date women. I can sleep with them but that's about it.
/pecks your cheek
That's a story for another time though. Or at least for a time that isn't gonna lead to something more.

@◦ s. mingi ᴾʳᶦⁿᶜᵉˢˢᴮᴰᴱ So no banana flavored lube. Got it.
/when we make it to my apartment, I tap your shoulder to be let down so I can punch in the code and get us inside.
I'll go with you to get one? If you like. I find it therapeutic, kind of relaxing, or meditative.
For me it is. Girls look at you weird or start putting you in girlfriend-zone which is a strange place to end up since I'm not very femme

@◦ j. wookjin ⁰⁰_ᶠᵒˣ Yellow is fine. Bananas are iffy.
/looks around but continues following your instructions ignoring the looks
I don't have tattoos. I want them but I don't have any. A Fandom poster isn't a dark secret.

@◦ s. mingi ᴾʳᶦⁿᶜᵉˢˢᴮᴰᴱ MinJin... Sounds like Minion.
I know what our couple Halloween costume will be now.
I hope you like yellow. And bananas.
/points out directions to my apartment while trying not to pay attention to the looks we're getting.
Uhhh I have a tattoo on my hip and a poster of Shownu on the back of my door? Those are my deepest, darkest secrets..

@◦ j. wookjin ⁰⁰_ᶠᵒˣ I hope I don't disappoint you Jin. Oh. I guess our ship name would be MinJin.
/hoping my rambling covers your embarrassment. follows your instructions rambling moe to distract you from you embarrassment
Got anything you'll need to hide from me?

@◦ s. mingi ᴾʳᶦⁿᶜᵉˢˢᴮᴰᴱ You are pretty smooth on the surface.
I guess we'll see how smooth you are under your clothes next.
/laughs, hiding my face in your neck and mumbling
, that was embarrassing. Kill me now.
Just... Head back the way we came and I'll direct you once we hit the street. It's not far, I promise

@◦ j. wookjin ⁰⁰_ᶠᵒˣ I must be smooth. ...that would be yet another first for me.
/chuckles smiling down at you
How about this, next time... you carry me. Deal?
/kisses your forehead
Now. Direct me so you can get your cuddles and or more. I have no plans to put you down till we get there by the way.

@◦ s. mingi ᴾʳᶦⁿᶜᵉˢˢᴮᴰᴱ Oh, God
/snorts, playfully hitting your chest
I'm not some blushing . I just meant usually first dates don't go this well for me.
There's a lot more awkward fumbling and stuff... Yeah.
/Yelps a little when you pick me up, arms going securely around your neck
I'm also not usually the one who gets carried, geez.
A little warning next time, please?

@◦ j. wookjin ⁰⁰_ᶠᵒˣ Are we at the point where I have more experience than you? You'll have to lead the way but... I'm doing this till we get there.
/adjusts your position so I can carry you princess carry as I stand up
We'll work up to you showing me how flexible you are. Let's get to your apartment first.

@◦ s. mingi ᴾʳᶦⁿᶜᵉˢˢᴮᴰᴱ I don't know?
/laughs nervously, palms resting on your chest.
I told you, I do making out and not much else. Things don't usually go this smoothly, alright?
I'd like all of that.
And I can definitely show you how flexible I am, whenever you like. I might not look it, but I'm a dancer, you know.

@◦ j. wookjin ⁰⁰_ᶠᵒˣ Why would I complain about more time with you? You're the one being silly now.
/moves away from you to make it easier to pull you onto my lap. cups your face
I want to go with you. I want to cuddle with you. I want to spend time with you.
/repeatedly pecks your lips then pressed a kiss to your forehead
...also how else will you show me how flexible you are?

@◦ s. mingi ᴾʳᶦⁿᶜᵉˢˢᴮᴰᴱ To be honest...
You're the first person I've offered to hold hostage?
/hums quietly, head turning to press a kiss to the top of your head
At least it doesn't sound like you're complaining about it... I'll take that as a win.
Your place works too, if that's more comfortable though. I'm flexible

@◦ j. wookjin ⁰⁰_ᶠᵒˣ /chuckles softly
Is that your line for all the guys and girls?
/smiles looking down at our hands. flexes my fingers.
I guess that means we'll just be extra close. Especially since you're gonna keep my present hostage.
/grins up at you

@◦ s. mingi ᴾʳᶦⁿᶜᵉˢˢᴮᴰᴱ I said 'until'. I'm not above holding the tiara hostage if it means holding you hostage too.
/nips your lip with a smile
Dad jokes already? We haven't even adopted our first pet yet.
/rests my cheek on the top of your head, shifting slightly to lay my hand over yours, lacing our fingers together
If you want, we can always go cuddle at my place - Or yours. I dunno if you have a preference, but my apartment is a literal shoebox, as fair warning.

@◦ j. wookjin ⁰⁰_ᶠᵒˣ You're sending me home already? So you don't want to cuddle with me?
/wiggles my eyebrows
I'm not silly, I'm Mingi.
/presses a slow kiss against your lips then lays my head on your shoulder since that was easier than making you put your head on my shoulder

@◦ s. mingi ᴾʳᶦⁿᶜᵉˢˢᴮᴰᴱ Should I put it back in my bag to keep it safe for you? At least, until we can get you home.
/asks with a kind smile, fingers running through your hair in what I hope is a soothing manner.
You're silly. Breaking it would have been an accident. Accidents don't make awful people.

@◦ j. wookjin ⁰⁰_ᶠᵒˣ /peeks out at my fingers at you. looks at the tiara once i feel it on my belly
Well its a present from you. I don't want to ruin it. It's precious to me.
/frowns looking around the tiara myself before putting it in the box to keep it safe.
If something happens to it then I'm an awful person.
/nods my head as if that was that

@◦ s. mingi ᴾʳᶦⁿᶜᵉˢˢᴮᴰᴱ Next time can be the scissors if you want. I don't mind a little clothes cutting.
I kind of like the desperation, if we're being honest.
/tilts my head, trying to figure out what you mean, then sees the tiara in the grass. Picks it up and looks it over carefully, then leans over to see if any of the gems broke off.
Uhh, you can un-hide now. It's fine? Just a little wet from the dew.
/Shrugs and places the tiara on your stomach

@◦ j. wookjin ⁰⁰_ᶠᵒˣ You said you may need it to get in and out... you said you prefer this to scissors.
/leans back so I'm laying on my back next to you
Next time I bring you nothing.
/realization dawns on me.
I swear to the grass... I didn't break it laying down did I? I'm too scared to look
/covers my face wanting to crawl into a hole to hie fearing I ruined everything

@◦ s. mingi ᴾʳᶦⁿᶜᵉˢˢᴮᴰᴱ I didn't say anybody's pants had to be gotten into but uh, need I remind you...
/rolls slightly to the side, pulling out the tiny bottle of lube you brought from my pocket and handing it back to you with a laugh
You did show up with the intention of getting into mine.

@◦ j. wookjin ⁰⁰_ᶠᵒˣ /sits next to you. pretends to be shocked
Did you just ask me to come back home with you? Are you trying to get in my pants already?
/chuckles softly
You sure you want to do that I may try to turn it around on you...

@◦ s. mingi ᴾʳᶦⁿᶜᵉˢˢᴮᴰᴱ People take out their anger in the total wrong places. You should know. I'm sure you get angry patients... Or stressed ones... And they just rip into the wrong person.
/shrugs and attempts to catch the pose, laughing when you drop it just to smile; sitting down flat on my on the grass, patting the ground next to me
Maybe? Unless you're going to come back to my place so I can stare at you like a proper creeper.

@◦ j. wookjin ⁰⁰_ᶠᵒˣ Who would dare yell at you... You're so nice. Those people can go sleep in a ditch.
/strikes a poses but can't keep it up and breaks into laughter smiling at you.
You gonna stare at my pictures like that?

@◦ s. mingi ᴾʳᶦⁿᶜᵉˢˢᴮᴰᴱ Oh, yes. You want to know about the angy old men who yell at me, or the moms who think that their order is the most important thing I'll do that day?
/scrunches up his nose, giving a pout
Come on. I have to have something to stare at longingly tonight.

@◦ j. wookjin ⁰⁰_ᶠᵒˣ Maybe I should be possessive of you. You get exposed to more people than me or at least more flirty people. It's all sick or worse for me.
/chuckles trying to cover my face as you snap pictures.
If you have pictures it might take longer for you to ask to meet up again.
