☇ city area

@☾ kim yongsun ˢᵒˡᵃʳ Yes, I do have a roommate *He eventually laughs in response to her whining. His arm finds a comfortable spot around her body, now curled into his* But he won't be bothering us for the night. He's made other arrangements for himself.
So you're free to come in and out and just come as you please *he has to keep his smirk pointed to the sun, because he can't keep a straight face with the words coming out now. Without the burden of his identity back home, he felt freer...* I love the beach *he announces while sitting up* In fact... I think you might want to start warming up because... *he pops upright into a standing position, exaggerating the rolling movements of his dynamic stretches* Last one in the water... Is a rotten egg. *and he's off, peeling his shirt off and tossing it behind him in his race to the water*

@◈ lee minho ʟᴇᴇ ᴋɴᴏᴡ⁻ᶜʰᵒʳᵉᵒᵍʳᵃᵖʰᵉʳ //even after you pull away, i lay still for a beat more, expecting to get more kisses still, slowly opening my eyes when i don't, and smiling at you, unable to hide just how joyful and warm it makes me to be so relaxed here, to open my eyes and see you/
Oppaaaaa.... you know i meant someone from the company...
//protests weakly, turning to you when you roll off, and before i can discourage myself, i use my newfound recklessness to roll into your side, arm across your chest and legs pressing against yours, the full length of my body aligned and pressing into yours, and i nod/
I did, yeah. Do you like going to the beach, or not really your thing?

@☾ kim yongsun ˢᵒˡᵃʳ *Minho savours the kiss, lingering on Yongsun's lips a breath longer than he should have. Even when he pulls back, he leans back in for another little taste, addicted at first touch*
*her rosy cheeks are embellished by the warmth of the sun, and he sits back on her thighs to admire her in the position he's laid her in*
I am rooming with someone. I'm rooming with you.
*he taps her lightly on the hip, and swings off, laying on his own back next to her with a hand behind his neck*
I haven't seen the ocean in a while... You brought your bathing suit, right?
*his head lolls to the side, cheeky grin curving the corner of his mouth while he squints through the sunrays*

@◈ lee minho ʟᴇᴇ ᴋɴᴏᴡ⁻ᶜʰᵒʳᵉᵒᵍʳᵃᵖʰᵉʳ So...?
// an eyebrow at you, as i have laid my head on my propped-up knees, the long frilly dress falling around my ankles, fluttering with the breeze/
Oh...?
//straightens up with a questioning look, eyes cast upwards to find you, without doing anything to abort your movements even as my heart hammers in my chest when you lower me down on the blanket, wrists locked in your hold, not that i was about to flail and run away, too hyperfocused on the way your hair frames your face and the way you look at me/
Oh... do you-- are you rooming with anyone?
//the words seem to be stuck in my throat, which has consequently constricted 4 times, it seems/
That sounds good--...
//my whisper is quickly swallowed into your mouth and my eyes close on automatic, whole body relaxing, even with my wrists still held in a vulnerable position, the slight chill the breeze brings making me surge towards the warmth of your body, letting myself get absorbed into the slow kiss and clear my mind like an out of body experience, absorbing this moment so i will come back to it tomorrow when we have to fly back to Korea and won't be able to afford such freedom/

@☾ kim yongsun ˢᵒˡᵃʳ *she's putty in his hands, and Minho takes every bit of give to his advantage* *the food has faded off their prime interest and he makes sure its safely sealed before turning back to Yongsun* So... *he begins, the cheeky smirk tilting up a corner of his mouth* I was thinking... Later... *he crawls the half foot over the picnic blanket towards her, straddling her legs and sitting on her thighs. He finds her wrists, locking them loosely in his grip and guiding her to lay down* *his ruffled bangs blow in the wind as he muses in appreciation above her* Maybe you can stay in my room at the hotel. We can rent a movie on pay per view and order room service... Cozy up *on the last word he scans the area, making sure no one is watching before daring to kiss her*

@◈ lee minho ʟᴇᴇ ᴋɴᴏᴡ⁻ᶜʰᵒʳᵉᵒᵍʳᵃᵖʰᵉʳ //opens my mouth on automatic when you wave the roll in front of me, mouth now too full of rice and toppings to actually be a useful conversation partner/
//sighs happily in your hold, chewing with cheeks full like a squirrel, feeling every worry fly away as i relax into the fabric of your shirt, the smell of your cologne, the vibrations your voice makes, you, you, you.../
//slightly confused, i lift my head up to look at you, planning to ask what you meant, but i am greeted with a plush kiss, and immediately find myself asking for more, readily agreeing to whatever the question was/
Right.

@☾ kim yongsun ˢᵒˡᵃʳ If you think I'm cheesy, you should taste this gimbap
*despite there being absolutely no cheese in the rolls he'd bought, he still holds up a piece, waving it around Yongsun's nose at the end of his chopsticks with a childish grin*
*feeds you a solid couple bites before abandoning the force feeding to indulge in the close contact - a rare treat when they were out in public*
I don't think you're ruining the food by eating it... *he muses quietly when the roll of the waves fills in the lapse in conversation* Because if a beauty is ruined by being eaten... You're already lost
*and even though they had yet to share a night of intimacy like the one he entails in his teasing, he still finds himself smirking* *he uses the remark to advantage, sneaking a quick peck to Yongsun's lips* Right?

@◈ lee minho ʟᴇᴇ ᴋɴᴏᴡ⁻ᶜʰᵒʳᵉᵒᵍʳᵃᵖʰᵉʳ Jeez, you're so cheesy...
//groans and facepalms further into your chest, but soon peeks out, food-motivated/
Is there a spicy one?
Oh--... I love pickled radish. Thank you...
//whines, wrapping both arms around your middle in gratitude, then opens up like a hungry bird/
It's almost a shame to ruin this beauty by eating it.

@☾ kim yongsun ˢᵒˡᵃʳ *this was definitely the best spot, with the seclusion providing enough security that he could openly embrace Yongsun under his arm, holding back the cheek splitting grin when she rested against his chest*
I only bring food when I'm planning a date with a beautiful woman
*he admits, using his free hand to peel back the lid on a container full of gimbap*
I ordered us some gimbap rolls - all types, vegetarion and some with meat - and we've got - *he opens up the next one* Some pickled radish, and kimchi of course
*and his last container is the largest, and it's overflowing with fruit, cut out into the shapes of flowers to form an edible piece of art* I found this shop that made these plates... It seemed delicious, and today seemed like the occasion for it
*he pokes a watermelon piece in the shape of a rose with a tooth pick, offering it to Yongsun* Try it

@◈ lee minho ʟᴇᴇ ᴋɴᴏᴡ⁻ᶜʰᵒʳᵉᵒᵍʳᵃᵖʰᵉʳ //drops my bag at one corner of the blanket as well, where it had began to lift up and try to escape, the nook we set up camp in definitely more secluded than the boardwalk/
Mm, true. Even if it's for work, it's like a little break from Seoul streets. No matter how much i love Seoul, it doesn't have the ocean.
//smiling, i kneel on the blanket as well, twisting swiftly to plop down on my right next to you and, encouraged by the solitude of the nook, press up against your side, head turned so my cheek is laying against your shoulder/chest/
Do you always bring food around?
//asks quietly, the whooshing of the waves, doing great work to make me relaxed and cozy/

@☾ kim yongsun ˢᵒˡᵃʳ This is my first Tokyo visit
*he admits as he begins unpacking his bag. The blanket goes down first, weighed down with his shoes, and other odd ends keeping the other corners pinned*
It feels good, though.. To be out in somewhere new. A change in pace from the usual
Hotter than I anticipated
*with everything unloaded, he finally sits back himself, patting the spot next to him*
Come on, come see what I have on the menu today

@◈ lee minho ʟᴇᴇ ᴋɴᴏᴡ⁻ᶜʰᵒʳᵉᵒᵍʳᵃᵖʰᵉʳ //exhales a tiny puff of air, a little "ha", but doesn't speak on it anymore, following suit, pausing only briefly to take off my shoes when we step on the more sandy part of the beach/
There looks good.
//shoes in one hand i do my best to keep my balance with my other arm outstretched, skipping over some rough patches until i reach you, and we head to a part where the water at our feet, but the beach is still comfortable enough to walk on/
Have you been here before? Or in Tokyo at all?

@☾ kim yongsun ˢᵒˡᵃʳ She surpassed them
*he replies in such a casual tone, one wouldn't think he'd be laying his heart out in one sentence*
*the semi-crowded beach is enough pressure for him to move on, though, nodding to himself as he scans the area again*
*in the hopes of being conspicuous, he doesn't reach immediately for Yongsun's hand, instead taking the lead in their walk to an area more shaded by walls and mounds of rocks, a little ways off from the general public but still in bounds* How about here? *he suggests with a wave of his arm*

() i didn't do a good job decsribing this but i'm still waking up

@◈ lee minho ʟᴇᴇ ᴋɴᴏᴡ⁻ᶜʰᵒʳᵉᵒᵍʳᵃᵖʰᵉʳ //i can only inhale lightly at your statement, unable to rip my gaze from you, and it takes all my willpower not to cuddle into your arm in this public place/
Oh? Did she live up to your hopes?
//asks quietly as if its a secret, nodding after your question, impatient to go down to the more secluded area of the beach, limited by the hotel's privacy policy/
Yeah, let's go down.

@☾ kim yongsun ˢᵒˡᵃʳ She can control me as much as she wants
I'd probably let her grab the wheel to the car of my life if she asked
*it's too hard for him to maintain the charade himself, and he keeps breaking character with little snickers. eventually he caves, wrapping an arm around Yongsuns shoulders to tug her close*
I think I found her... Don't worry
*he spends a few seconds more enjoying her beauty before nodding to the beach* Should we find a spot for the day?

@◈ lee minho ʟᴇᴇ ᴋɴᴏᴡ⁻ᶜʰᵒʳᵉᵒᵍʳᵃᵖʰᵉʳ Ah, she must be punctual then. Maybe a little bit... anxious too. You know, us women, we tend to try and control things, when we are nervous, and if she is always there before you - maybe she is nervous when you meet?
//bites at my lip, watching you play along with this charade/
Hm... but how can you tell her voice and her heart only by looking at her? I will only see her from afar, because I will have to stand waaaay over there.

@☾ kim yongsun ˢᵒˡᵃʳ *shakes his head through a light laugh, stepping aside to stand next to you and to appreciate the view of the rolling waves ahead of us*
She's not usually late, no... In fact, she almost always gets there before I do
*glances down at a watch he doesn't have* She should be here any second. You might have seen her already actually. She's a beautiful woman with the voice of an angel and a heart of gold

@◈ lee minho ʟᴇᴇ ᴋɴᴏᴡ⁻ᶜʰᵒʳᵉᵒᵍʳᵃᵖʰᵉʳ //gasps quietly, caught distracted, turning to you with widened eyes, but that quickly goes away when i realize what you are doing/
Ah, apologies, dear sir. Have you been waiting here long? Is your date known to be late?

@☾ kim yongsun ˢᵒˡᵃʳ Sorry ma'am, could you move over?
*leans in to your ear as he walks up behind you, hands clasped behind his back with a barely concealed smile spread thin on his lips*
I'm awaiting my date, you see... And well, I don't want her to have the wrong impression of me when we go to the beach together for the first time

@☾ lee chaeyeon "Full and happy~" she concurs, an undeniably excited lilt to her voice. Truly the best part of traveling was the food and she didn't even mind the fact that it felt like her skin was melting because it'd all be worth it. Her gaze follows the other's direction, and she makes a sound of agreement, eyes brightening at the two brightly colored drinks. "We should ask where they got it." She resolves, deciding they needed to go over an get the scoop asap. And she has absolutely no qualms with it, no fears of approaching strangers that might not speak one of her languages, or anything like that...but not on her own. "Come," she requests, holding a little righter to Chaeyeon's arm, as if the girl might disappear the second they get within speaking distance.

@✵ kuromiya rei⁻ᵗʳᵃᶦⁿᵉᵉ "I feel like we'll be so full today." She chuckled softly, following the other's lead when she saw the stall. "After we get some stuffed pancakes, maybe we can also get some smoothies? It's too hot." Chaeyeon gave a sheepish grin, using her free hand to wipe away some sweat before fixing some of the loose hair framing her face. She leaned in closer to whisper, looking over at a couple of people holding some smoothies. "Whatever they're drinking looks really good."

@◈ choi seunghyun ᴛ.ᴏ.ᴘ⁻ʳᵃᵖ ᶜᵒᵃᶜʰ Hey-!
*echoes the sentiment when she's left with a wet patch in the center of her hand, face screwing up into a grimace as she swipes it dry on his shirt. her steps slow to a halt as well, ending a couple of paces ahead and she turns so she's got peripheral eyes on both him and the group while he mulls through deliberations*
Daeng! Wrong!
*chimes, a little more of a bounce to her steps as she continues, hurrying him along with a little wave. her grin grows and she too grows more and more pleased with herself on the cusp of an easy point*
Last shot~
We should figure out the stakes for when I win this thing!

@◈ luc quyen⁻ᵐᵘᵃ Okay, okay- I wanted to dare you to a volcanic rock.
*he rolls his eyes with a groan-y huff, confessing to his crime. His hands go up with a gesture of defeat, but it's entirely playful when he can't help laughing*
Hey-
*he semi-protests the hand in his face but does little to remove it other than smack a wet kiss right in the middle of her palm*
aha- gotcha!
*he gets distracted staring at some trees in the distance and stops walking to stare at them, squinting through his sunglasses to see them*
Hm- hey. What about... oh- I got it, it's a tree isn't it? Like the tree bark? Right?

@◈ choi seunghyun ᴛ.ᴏ.ᴘ⁻ʳᵃᵖ ᶜᵒᵃᶜʰ Ah, see!
*points accusingly after the very telling groan making a point to put a step of distance between them*
You were going for something gross, I know you!
*a laugh carries on the end of the accusatory statement before the conversational naturally drifts along. with her clue out there, she's left to wait and buys time by actually tuning into a little of what their tour guide is saying. apparently—they have a chance of seeing some wild monkeys!—she clocks back into brown talk just in time to get an eyeful of...well, eyes and grimaces*
Eww, put those away
*complains with a laugh, reaching up to block out view of his face with a hand*
No and no. No bag, no /adorable/ baby browns
Try again, Choi. You get....two more guesses

@◈ luc quyen⁻ᵐᵘᵃ not that high she says-
*looks away from the scenery in the distance, groans when she says no to eye spy because he was totally going to dare her to a rock. Not exactly a bug but close enough*
I don't know why you would feel that-
*is hushed, she shares his gaze with the dirt road ahead barely missing a crack in the path that might've tripped him up if he wasn't paying attention. He hums under his breath as he peers around*
Hmm... brown... let me see, it's probably not something super obvious. Is it... that guy's rucksack?
*he points ahead at a guy wearing a brown-ish bag, though it's more beige in some places*
Or-or- wait my eyes?
*gestures at himself making his eyes wide with a shove of his fingertips, giving her an unsightly look at his eyeballs*

@◈ choi seunghyun ᴛ.ᴏ.ᴘ⁻ʳᵃᵖ ᶜᵒᵃᶜʰ Oh c'mon, it's not that high
*assures without a shred of confidence in the words, knowing full well it is /that/ high. she frowns at the thought of truth or dare, all for it for a half-second before the horrible idea of what truth or dare in the mountains could entail*
I /feel/ like you're gonna try to make me eat a bug so eye spy, it isI'm first!
*raises a hand resolutely before he can try and in to go first before slowly lowering it as she looks around more purposefully to source out her first find. she belatedly lifts her shades to keep everything from being tinged red and brightens at the sight of a wonderfully unlikely sight up ahead off to the side of the trail: an abandoned hiking boot*
Okay! Okay-
I spy with, my little eye, something brown
*looks at you with a grin, completely pleased with her maybe too broad choice in a sea of natural colors like brown*

@◈ luc quyen⁻ᵐᵘᵃ love a girl that keeps me grounded.
*echos her snort laugh with one of his own. he digs his free hand into his pocket, though she's right about the snack and kilos dilemma which fills him with a new determination to enjoy the day*
come on ice cream. we're going to make it to this volcano.
*looks smug from the reaction and gives the viewers a curt wave, totally proud of himself. The shove earns her a laugh for her troubles and he pushes his sunglasses back higher on his nose*
yes. that sounds like a great idea. also so i don't have to think about how high we're going. vertigo be vertigone. how do you feel about eye spy? or truth or dare?

@◈ choi seunghyun ᴛ.ᴏ.ᴘ⁻ʳᵃᵖ ᶜᵒᵃᶜʰ *hums positively, nose crinkling up in faux cringe while returning the affectionate gesture*
I do, I do. You're SO lucky
*she snorts a laugh, offering a clueless shrug for the vacation-walk think piece*
To be fair, you can eat aaaaaalll the fun new food you want if you're struttin' off the kilos
*chimes before letting out a bark of laughter at the joke, free hand clapping over in the immediate aftermath while a few people glance back their way. she doesn't pay them any mindwhile dealing in residual giggles*
You're so annoying
*complains, giving him a good-natured shove and glancing around*
Wanna play a game so we don't have to think about all the cardio we're paying for?

@◈ luc quyen⁻ᵐᵘᵃ . and there I was thinking we'd get wet together.
*playfully rolls his eyes in a faux-dramatic bad actor-y type of way*
then I'll get fried like the egg. fried top.
*he watches her fold the sweater in complete mystery as though it's some kind of magic trick and any minute now she might pull a bunny out of it. When he takes the sweater back he opens her bag and tucks it away neatly inside, trading the sweater for a peak at the snacks*
damn. you weren't joking, you're packed. you do love me.
*he jokes and takes her hand back with a squeeze after closing the bag up. As they continue following the tour group he thinks about her idea, smiling at the dorky shoulder wiggle that makes his equally dorky heart melt*
private pools. now you're talking. i think I'm going to need it after all this walking. it amazes me that people come on vacation just to walk everywhere. like we can't just walk around at home. anyway- yes. hot springs. hot queen. hot top. sounds perfect babe. hopefully that will be our only eruption of the day...
*shoots her a mischievous brow wiggle, needing to at least have made one volcano joke during our visit*

@◈ choi seunghyun ᴛ.ᴏ.ᴘ⁻ʳᵃᵖ ᶜᵒᵃᶜʰ -off-hot water
*she confirms with a few bobs of her head*
Deeefinitely don't wanna dip your toe into it
*the pouty expression pulls a snort from her before she hums, shoulder lifting into a nonchalant shrug*
Okayy, just say the word
*chimes in a similar tone, fingers lightly carding through her hair as she considers putting it up to escape the already mounting humidity some. movement in her peripheral prompts her to glance over just in time to find the sweater in her field of view and she snickers but says nothing otherwise, merely taking the garment and beginning to fold it in a way that'll help it stow away best. at the same time*
Mhm, I know it~ Quin best girl~
*repeats the moniker, spanning a hand in the air as if the name were emblazoned in lights before handing the folded sweater back over and gesturing for him to go ahead and stick it in the bag, her steps slowing considerably for a seamless transaction*
The hot springs near the hotel aren't melt-your-skin hot, maybe we should hang out there once the day's done? They have private pools~
*grins, pairing the fact with a dorky little shoulder wiggle*
