⠀➷ cafeteria.

@✦ ┆ m. sangmin. ᵖᵃⁿᵈᵃ Believe me, I’m counting on it. Haha
Despite Sangmin releasing his hand, Yugyeom stuck close. At least, as close as he could without hindering Sangmin’s movements.
Really? That makes me want to try it too. I bet they have a special kind of flavor that will make you addicted to it.
Yugyeom chimes, sauntering toward the cabinet and pulling out a couple of black matching mugs.
Do you like tiny marshmallows in yours?

@✧ ┆ k. yugyeom. ʳᵉᵈ ᵖᵃⁿᵈᵃ That’ll definitely make it cozy when getting into bed. Extra cozy if you count us cuddling together.
having yugyeom’s hand in his own was something he enjoyed, giving his hand a few gentle squeezes every so often until they’ve walked inside. letting go and heading to the pantry closet where the hot chocolate was located from what he remembered.
Hm not really, what I do want though is to try hot chocolate in Paris. I hear it’s quite good.

@✧ ┆ k. seokwoo. ᵍʳᵃʸ ʷᵒˡᶠ *watches you as you pay, head tilting a little, eyes landing on the strawberries, eager to have one*
*Looks over at you and leans in to sniff your cheek then up to your hair before moving in closer by your neck, leaning against it, paws gripping your shirt tightly for stability*

@✧ ┆ h. jisung. ˢᵘᵍᵃʳ ᵍˡᶦᵈᵉʳ -Continues to observe you, your little sniffs and twitching of your nose completes me in this moment-
-When you don’t have a tiny huff but climb back up and nuzzle your head on my cheek I hold in a coo-
Jisung- so cute.
-I mumble, taking the box of strawberries and turning to go pay for them. My steps are swift, my wallet already being pulled out when I reach the counter. Places some cash on the counter and waits for my change, thanking the cashier before turning to leave-
To my place, cuddle up near my neck if you’d like to stay warm.

@✧ ┆ k. seokwoo. ᵍʳᵃʸ ʷᵒˡᶠ *sniffs around the box, careful not to get too close. Crawls back up your arm and rubs my face on your cheek in approval*

@✧ ┆ h. jisung. ˢᵘᵍᵃʳ ᵍˡᶦᵈᵉʳ -Rubs my neck as your tail tickles it, chuckling at your cute antics-
-watches while you crawl down my arm to observe the box. Your tiny huff makes me feel as though you’re not happy. I gently place it down and pick up another, holding it near you for you to decide again-

@✧ ┆ k. seokwoo. ᵍʳᵃʸ ʷᵒˡᶠ *paws tighten on your shirt as you finally move, bouncing a little with each step you take. Swings my tail around to tickle the back of your neck*
*Eyes sparkle when you pick up a box of strawberries, crawling down your arm to get a closer look. Makes a little huff sound, not happy with the box you have*

@✧ ┆ h. jisung. ˢᵘᵍᵃʳ ᵍˡᶦᵈᵉʳ -I’m honestly melting inside when how adorable you are. Your tiny self really just tugging on my heartstrings. The chitters, your tiny nose and big eyes, your little hands-
Okay, off we go!
-take care of the old ice pack before leaving for the cafeteria-
-It doesn’t take us long to reach said location, only about five minutes-
-I pull the door open and am quick to step inside. I can around the area before spotting a color section. Approaching it with gusto, purpose filed steps to avoid being stopped by any other possible visitors-
Oh, there the strawberries are.
-I chirp, reaching into the cool display and picking up a small package. Looking them over for any imperfections or signs of mold-
Wanna help me pick the perfect box?

@✦ ┆ m. sangmin. ᵖᵃⁿᵈᵃ I’m ready for something warm in my stomach.
Yugyeom hums, letting himself be led to the cafeteria where they’d be making the hot chocolate. He lightly swings their interlaced hands to-and-fro.
Do you have a favorite type of hot chocolate?

@✧ ┆ k. yugyeom. ʳᵉᵈ ᵖᵃⁿᵈᵃ Hot chocolate time.
takes yugyeom's hand and gives a gentle squeeze to it as he begins to lead the both of them to the cafeteria where they could indulge in the sweet chocolate beverage.

@✧ ┆ k. seokwoo. ᵍʳᵃʸ ʷᵒˡᶠ *makes a mental note when you say it's one of your favorite foods*
*Sips my water and sits back, relaxing and letting the food settle while you continue to enjoy yours, reaching over to rub your back in small circles, in no rush at all*
You're sure you don't want more? We've got all night.
*knows you really enjoyed the food, wanting to make sure you're satisfied before we head out*
Oh- you didn't have to pay woo. I would have covered my share at the very least.
Thank you, though.
*Gives you an appreciative smooch to the cheek*


(Lmao nice, glad you got fresh and clean)

@✧ ┆ h. jisung. ˢᵘᵍᵃʳ ᵍˡᶦᵈᵉʳ It’s pretty tasty.
-Continues to enjoy my food, occasionally hums of delight escaping me. I praise the food relentlessly in my mind-
It’s delicious, one of my favorite foods
-Even though you finish quickly, I take my time. Really basking in the flavor profiles. However, I finish about ten minutes later-
Ah, nice and full! Now, on to the club~
-pats my stomach a bit before asking for the check, the bring it and I supply them with my card-


( lmao, I was stinky~ and my hair was gross, but I am clean now! )

@✧ ┆ k. seokwoo. ᵍʳᵃʸ ʷᵒˡᶠ Oh I wanna try the cilantro
*Tries some of that, curiously dunking it in the broth then taking a bite of food. Can't help but chuckle a little when you groan in satisfaction*
Youre really enjoying it huh?
I'm glad you're happy with the food~
*Finishes eating rather quickly, shoulders wiggling a little in happiness*
Sounds like a plan

(Ugh finally so stinky lol jkjk shower well bubs!)

@✧ ┆ h. jisung. ˢᵘᵍᵃʳ ᵍˡᶦᵈᵉʳ -I’m happy when you take some bean sprouts, wondering if you liked them too-
There is also lime, cilantro and basil if you want any of that.
-I point out what is what before returning to my bowl, taking a healthy bite of noodles and them up. A groan of satisfaction escaping me as the flavor hits my tastebuds-
-Brings my hand up to cover my mouth as I chew, not wanting to be gross when I spoke-
Great, I look forward to partying until my legs don’t work anymore. Haha.
-finishes the bite that was in my mouth-
Sure, you can come back to mine. It’s only fair, I’ve been to yours.

( gonna shower real fast! )

@✧ ┆ k. seokwoo. ᵍʳᵃʸ ʷᵒˡᶠ *relaxes at your words and the feeling of you rubbing my lower back. Takes some bean sprouts for myself and adds them to my bowl, eating some more*
I'm still down.
I think it would be fun and I definitely think I need a little fun in my life.
*Sips on my water a bit*
Lets dance til we can't dance no more.
Then maybe we can go back to your room? If you're okay with that.

@✧ ┆ h. jisung. ˢᵘᵍᵃʳ ᵍˡᶦᵈᵉʳ You don’t need to thank me, it’s only right that I understand your situation. Your feelings are important and need to be looked after. I shouldn’t be upset when you’ve gone through quite the transition.
-One of my hands come around you to soothingly rub your lower back-
-I keep my hand on your back and pick up my chopsticks with the other, taking what I believe to be half of the bean sprouts and placing them in my bowl. I use my metal utensils to push them beneath the broth, my mouth watering-
I’m down if you are, do you still want to?
-I wasn’t sure how’d you’d feel about it now-

@✧ ┆ k. seokwoo. ᵍʳᵃʸ ʷᵒˡᶠ *watches you as you eat the bite I give you, nodding softly at your words*
Thank you.
You're so sweet and understanding. I really appreciate it.
*leaves it at that despite the pain in my chest, deciding to focus on the food*
Yes, let's eat before it gets cold.
*offers you a little smile then starts eating, feeling a little better after doing so, the taste and warmth lifting my spirits a bit*
Did you still wanna go dancing after this?

@✧ ┆ h. jisung. ˢᵘᵍᵃʳ ᵍˡᶦᵈᵉʳ -My countenance appeared tender to you, knowing that you felt terribly for unintentionally saying what you did about your ex-partner and myself-
- I’m about to speak when you’ve brought some bean sprouts to my lips and I can’t help but chuckle before taking the bite-
Jisung, your break up was only a few days ago. It’s known that you’re still going to feel a connection to him, there are going to be things, and people, that remind you of him. Your feelings won’t just stop because the relationship has ended. I’m not scared away and you don’t have to apologize. I’m happy you feel comfortable and safe with wolves. That we’ve never given you a reason not to be. You’re okay, Jisung. It’s okay.
-I raise a hand to cup your cheek, ghosting my thumb along the plush skin-
You’re alright. Let’s enjoy our food, it’ll be cold otherwise.

@✧ ┆ k. seokwoo. ᵍʳᵃʸ ʷᵒˡᶠ *pauses mid bite when you pick up my bowl and water, watching as you move it before finally stealing a glance at you. Obediently stands and moves back to the spot beside you, speaking softly*
I don't want to scare you away by being an idiot.
I'm sorry.
*glances up at you with a big, sparkling doe like gaze. Gets some of the bran sprouts with my chopsticks and holds them to your lips to feed you*
They're really your favorite?
I'll try to remember that.

@✧ ┆ h. jisung. ˢᵘᵍᵃʳ ᵍˡᶦᵈᵉʳ -I worry for a moment when you stand up, thinking that you may leave. I wasn’t sure if I would have the right to go after you if you had. So I’m relieved, and thankful, when you sit beside me instead. The hug to my waist tells me you’re apologetic before you even begin to speak. I place the utensils down on the table quietly. A hand reaching across my body to carefully through your silky locks. Your rambling I found to be quite cute and I shake my head lightly-
Jisung,
-I chime once you’ve kissed my shoulder and placed yourself back in your originally seat. I can see you’re not looking up from your food, almost like you’re punishing yourself. So I pick up your bowl with caution and place it beside me on the table. I do the same with your water. The plate of vegetables I place between the bowls-
…sit here, please.

@✧ ┆ k. seokwoo. ᵍʳᵃʸ ʷᵒˡᶠ *looks to the waiter when. He brings the door, thanking him before turning my attention back to you, simply watching you eat for a moment as I realize talking about my mate or even discussing how similar or different the two of you are isn't exactly the best thing. Gets up and moves around to take a seat beside you, wrapping my arms around your waist to give you a big hug*
I'm sorry. I didn't mean to bring him up or compare the two of you.
And I don't want you to feel like you being a wolf makes anything harder.
If anything, it's more comforting. I always felt safe with wolves, despite being such a little creature. You, hoseok, chan hyung are all wolves and you have all made me feel comfortable and safe. But even if you weren't a wolf, I'd still feel that way around you. Ahh I keep talking myself into a mess-
*Rubs your back gently, sighing quietly, disappointed with myself. Gives you an apologetic kiss to the shoulder then moves back to my seat to start eating, simply keeping my gaze on the food*

@✧ ┆ h. jisung. ˢᵘᵍᵃʳ ᵍˡᶦᵈᵉʳ Should we? He’d be pretty cute with wolf ears, I’m sure of it.
-my thumb gently brushes over your knuckles, nodding slowly-
I understand, probably tough for you to have another wolf hanging around you?
-I can see the pain you’re trying to hide which causes me to give your hand a gentle squeeze-
My species is specifically called Canis Lupus. Within that there are sub categories. The largest my kind can get are like.. 80kg?
-I try not to let it get to me that I’ve been compared to your previous mate, I knew you weren’t doing it intentionally… at least I thought you weren’t-
I don’t shift often, I usually don’t have any reason to. I-
‘Food is served’
-the waiter brings out a cart with our bowls of pho, waters and a plate of various veggies we can add to the bowl. The sauces we could use already sitting on the table-
-I squeeze your hand once more before releasing it, pulling my arm back so it wasn’t in the way of the waiter-
Thank you.
-Gives them a warm smile when they’ve finished up-
That was pretty quick, huh?
-I pick up my chopsticks and ladle like spoon, reaching over to collect some of the bean sprouts-
These are my favorite~

@✧ ┆ k. seokwoo. ᵍʳᵃʸ ʷᵒˡᶠ We can?
Id love that. Maybe we can give out snowman cute lil wolf ears.
*sees your hand and reaches out to hold onto it, my smile showing a hint of sadness to it*
It just reminds me of him is all. The whole wolf thing...
*looks at you, trying to look happier when I smile though I end up just looking awkward*
I think the two of you are the same type of wolf. Just, he was a bigger sub species. I'm not sure how big you are though...
*clears my throat a little*
Anyways...let's not talk about that. This time is about you and me.
I wanna focus on you. Do you shift into your wolf form often?

@✧ ┆ h. jisung. ˢᵘᵍᵃʳ ᵍˡᶦᵈᵉʳ Fair enough, I won’t stop calling you pretty.
-brings my gaze back to you when you add on to the snow being magical-
Sure, we can build a snowman one of these days.
-notes your smile falling a bit, but I don’t let it show in my expression-
I do like the snow, rolling around in it and burying my face in it.
-I reach a hand out on the table, holding it open for you to hold onto-
My species is known to be in tundras, but not only there. Grasslands, forests, all over. Is this.. bringing some painful memories?

@✧ ┆ k. seokwoo. ᵍʳᵃʸ ʷᵒˡᶠ Oh no, definitely still call me pretty.
I love it.
*Looks outside when you mention the snow, my smile softening*
It's very magical. So soft and beautiful looking.
One of these days I'd love to go out and play in the snow.
*Keeps my eyes on the snow, smile faltering a bit*
Do you like the snow, Seokwoo? As a wolf?
*Looks back over at you with a slightly sparkling gaze*
Are you a snow wolf?

@✧ ┆ h. jisung. ˢᵘᵍᵃʳ ᵍˡᶦᵈᵉʳ Do I? Shall I not call you pretty then?
-Spots the pink blush appearing on your cheeks, contented to see it-
Turning the compliment back on me, I see.
-another laugh escapes me while I turn to look outside. The small flakes dancing their way down from the cloud blanketed sky-
The snow can be magical, don’t you think?
-I speak this all while keeping my gaze to the window, attempting to see the differences of each flake that clings to the pane-

@✧ ┆ k. seokwoo. ᵍʳᵃʸ ʷᵒˡᶠ *can't help but smile when you say why you'll sit across from me, playfully batting my lashes*
You make me shy when you call me pretty, you know.
*chuckles softly and covers my pink cheeks*
And of course it sounds good, that means I can stare at your handsome face in return.

@✧ ┆ h. jisung. ˢᵘᵍᵃʳ ᵍˡᶦᵈᵉʳ I’m glad you like it.
-Releases your hand as you go to sit down. I note the empty space beside you and the spot across from you. Beside you meant we could continue to hold hands, but across from you, I could watch your expressions, gaze into your eyes and admire your lips-
I’ll sit across from you, this way, I can see your pretty face, sound good?
-I explain, quietly pulling out the chair that sat across from you and taking a seat-

@✧ ┆ k. seokwoo. ᵍʳᵃʸ ʷᵒˡᶠ *can't help but get a little shy when you look directly into my eyes, cheeks flushing as I glance away*
*Looks around curiously when you lead us to the counter then glances back to you as you order for us, studying your features until you're leading us to a spot next to the window*
It's perfect.
*Takes a seat on one side of the table, looking up at you briefly, curious if you'll sit beside me or across from me*

@✧ ┆ h. jisung. ˢᵘᵍᵃʳ ᵍˡᶦᵈᵉʳ You’re welcome…
-notes your hand being held out for me to take again, I lift my eyes from your hand and look into your eyes for a few moments. Reaching my hand out to hold onto yours again-
I was thinking the same, beef it is.
-tugs you alongside me, stepping up to the counter and asking for two beef phos for us. We’re told to sit anywhere and that the food would be out in no time. Thanking them, I pull you along to a quiet space next to a window where we can watch the snow gently fall from the sky-
Is here alright?
