⠀➷ mountain side.

@✧ ┆ k. yugyeom. ʳᵉᵈ ᵖᵃⁿᵈᵃ Sangmin picks up the sound of footsteps, eyes looking around until he sees the figure of his boyfriend approaching him, a bright smile begins to form at his tiers and he meets him half way, shaking his head lightly at his words. Sangmin would go anywhere to meet Yugyeom. “Don’t fret babe, I just worry about the cold getting to you. It is very pretty here though, I agree.” For a moment he looks at the beautiful midnight sky decorated with millions of glittering from the stars, the lunar light creating a beautiful atmosphere for the two.

“Ah, speaking of the cold.. here.” Sangmin takes the palm sized heat packs from his pocket and puts it into Yugyeom’s hands, keeping himself close in front of Yugyeom, tilting curiously at the next words. “Well of course, you can say and tell me anything babe.”

@✦ ┆ m. sangmin. ᵖᵃⁿᵈᵃ Yugyeom also does his best to get to their meeting spot quickly, but without causing injury to himself. He had fallen once, but thankfully with all the extra padding he hadn’t really hurt anything. However, snow clung to part of his coat where he landed.
It’s five or so minutes later and he spots someone; Sangmin. He breaths a sigh of relief, the icy air freezing the inside of his nose.
“Sangda, sorry for making you come outside where it’s below zero, but I think this location is pretty. Especially at night.” He explains, turning to look at the night sky, the moon being one of their main sources of light that night. The stars seemingly there for decoration. The mountain side was elegantly adorned in a fresh layer of snow, yet to be disturbed by a single creature. “I didn’t just bring you out here to look at the sky and our surroundings, I have something I want to say to you.”

@✧ ┆ k. yugyeom. ʳᵉᵈ ᵖᵃⁿᵈᵃ After their last exchange of text Sangmin begins to get ready, once he’s bundled up and a couple hand warmers put into his pocket of his puffy coat before he sets out to their meeting spot. The weather is cold but thankfully there wasn’t wind in the air so it wouldn’t be as chilly, the alpha is quick to get there but he knows if he’s not careful and accidentally gets hurt Yugyeom would be upset. Making sure to watch his step, his breath visible in the cold air and he nears the meet up, he seems to have gotten there first, he didn’t mind. With hands in his pockets he’s thankful to brought the heat packs.

— Yes, I have shoe spikes for my shoes, less likely that I’ll fall. You be careful too, okay?
— ♡ I really like it when you call me that..

Yugyeom bundles up and exits his lodge, putting his shoe spikes on once he’s on the porch. When he’s fully ready he begins on the path to the mountain side. Hands tucked deep into his pockets.

he was pretty good at hiking despite his small figure, so the trek up the seemingly endless stairs (seeing as the gondolas were already closed) was not the hardest thing he has done. the top of the steps eventually came into view, the mouse stepping onto the main platform and exhaling a breath of relief. he shuffles forward, approaching the railing and putting his phone back into his pocket. he was scared, if he were to be truly honest with himself. he didn’t know what it was he was experiencing.. love, infatuation, appreciation? when he was with him, with jaewook— he felt at ease. he felt home. but why? why was he so different, so refreshingly new and beautiful… why did the simplest of things feel so intense? was he just supposed to go along with it, pretend he wasn’t tumbling into the unknown, blind and unaware? his gloved fingers grip onto the railing and he observes the sparkling lights from the resort below, a trembling sigh bubbling free.

somehow, he manages to get out here in the dark. his mind is chalk full with thoughts, swirling just like the falling snow did around his head whenever the wind would gust. it was cold-- freezing, outside tonight, but he was feeling restless and somewhat overwhelmed. he slowly ascends up the steps, barely able to make them out as he clutches onto his phone tightly, the small but mighty flashlight app doing it's best to light his path. his face was flushed, the tip of his nose, apples of his cheeks, and edges of his ears stained a blotchy pink; to say the least.. he was shivering despite his layers. he inhales a breath of icy air, the snow particles entering his nose and sliding the cold up into his sinuses... yet he continues on, one foot after the other towards the lookout on top of the mountain.

@✧ ┆ c. jiung. ᵐᵒˡᵉ It wasn't lost on Theo how Jiung would just suddenly up and leave, or quietly sneak out of a room without him. He never said anything about it to the mole, though, and he only ever worried a little. His eyesight wasn't the greatest either, given he was a bat and all, but still it was better than Jiung's, so knowing his groupmate would wander off without him set off alarm bells for the first few seconds of knowing he was gone. But this time, Theo couldn't help just how curious he got when he noticed Jiung leave. Where exactly was he even sneaking off to all the time? He stood up, and trailed behind. And luckily for him, he knew Jiung well enough to keep the perfect distance so the heavy smell of fruit that he gave off wouldn't alert the mole, nor would he be able to see him

@✧ ┆ c. taeyang. ᶠʳᵘᶦᵗ ᵇᵃᵗ though the mole couldn't see well, none of that would stop jiung from exploring the area surrounding the ski resort alone, which is how he ended up finding a nice little nook somewhere along the mountain side with a hot spring, it was hidden off behind some trees and jiung would have told others about it, but when he needed a break away from others from too many noises, smells or even just over interacting, he'd find himself coming here. today, was no different, he was metaphorically sneaking out to head towards the hot springs, trying to find a moment to get away from the chaos of the main area of the ski resort

@✧ ┆ l. yangyang. ˢʰᵉᵉᵖ *loves holding your hand in mine, can't help but to smile at you as I follow you*

*when we reach the park I notice it's getting colder, take off my jacket I wrap it around you gently*
I had fun as well... Definitely, we should. *looks at you with a wide smile and softness,walk besides you as I don't really want to let you go just yet.

@✦ ┆ l. minhyuk. ˡᶦᵒⁿ () bringing us back here cuz there aren’t any parks LOL

/snickers and bumps your elbow with mine/ Too bad that title is worn by you now /teases/
/looks at our joined hands with a smile, guiding us out of the bar & grill/

~*~*~

/walks beside you on a trail in a park, winter air much colder during the night/
I had fun today /looks at you happily/ We should definitely have another outing some other time

@✦ ┆ l. minhyuk. ˡᶦᵒⁿ Hm, I’m fine with the bar too.
/taps your arms so you’ll let go of me, getting off from you before offering my hand/
Do you want to lead the way this time too?

@✧ ┆ l. yangyang. ˢʰᵉᵉᵖ *smiles and your hair gently*
Oh? I'm actually not sure
we can go a bar or something maybe

@✦ ┆ l. minhyuk. ˡᶦᵒⁿ /chuckles and leans into your touch, gazing at you gently/
I don’t mind the cafeteria, though I’m not sure if it’s open at this time /thoughtful/ I’ve never been there for dinner. Have you?

@✧ ┆ l. yangyang. ˢʰᵉᵉᵖ *chuckles at your cute reaction and ruffles your hair*
I guess I can be a little sneaky
*feels softer at your words,hugging you close to me and smiles warmly*
should we go to the cafeteria or something?

@✦ ┆ l. minhyuk. ˡᶦᵒⁿ /widens my eyes at your answer, not at all expecting it; immediately squints at you afterwards/ Oh, you’re sneaky! /impressed/
Mm, a compliment. And a fact too /nods as if to confirm myself, instantly wrapping my arms around you once my hands are free/
Should we get back soon? /looks at the darkening sky/ Dinner time should be around the corner

@✧ ┆ l. yangyang. ˢʰᵉᵉᵖ Well I prefer it in a ier way.
*whispers into your ear again and chuckles*
*tries to stop pinching your cute cheeks*
Oh, was it a compliment?... I guess I'm a little soft.
*smiles warmly at you as now I hug you more gently and free your hands*

@✦ ┆ l. minhyuk. ˡᶦᵒⁿ Hmm, when you put it like thattt
/tilts head curiously at the later remark/ Oh? Then, in what way I should do that?
/makes a discontented sound when you pinch my cheek, but didn’t complain/
/hums in acknowledgement at your reasoning, nodding my head/
I get you. It’s a fair preference /smiles softly/ You’re a big softie, you know that? /says it genuinely, without a hint of tease/

@✧ ┆ l. yangyang. ˢʰᵉᵉᵖ ouch he keeps being so violence
*chuckles at you and looks into your eyes*
You keep smacking, flicking, pinching me~ and not in the way you should do that
*teases you back as I hold you still and shakes my head*
You do understand! Well, anyway I do prefer it.
Being a little aggressive is fine, but not hurting someone for real
*says honestly and pinches your cheek when you look away*

@✦ ┆ l. minhyuk. ˡᶦᵒⁿ I'm teasing you, sillyyy /pinches your nose playfully/
/laughs jovially at your statement, an intrigue expression on my face/ me? the sadist? hardly! what gave you that idea?
/widens eyes in surprise when both my hands are caught, shivering when you whispered in my ear/
i pretend i don't understand what you mean /huffs, looking away/

@✧ ┆ l. yangyang. ˢʰᵉᵉᵖ *chuckles softly at you*
Why Do I feel like you mock me? I'm a good guy for real!
*gasps in pain at your little flick*
You are so violent! and you call me sadist!
*laughs and holds both of your hands so you wouldn't hit me, leans you against me*
I meant... in bed.
*whispers into your ear*

@✦ ┆ l. minhyuk. ˡᶦᵒⁿ /snorts at your proclamation, shaking my head/
Yes, yes. You’re a good guy, Mr y Man /smiles faintly/
/shudders at the closeness of the whisper, pulling away to flick your forehead in reprimand/
I don’t know which part of the earlier tickle attack makes you think that’s pleasing a partner /scolds/

@✧ ┆ l. yangyang. ˢʰᵉᵉᵖ chuckles more at your cuteness*
What? I'm such a good guy.
*wraps my arms around you when you sit down*
Well I enjoy more... pleasing my partner.
*whispers into your ear playfully*

@✦ ┆ l. minhyuk. ˡᶦᵒⁿ /squints at your innocent face, tapping your nose/ I’m not falling for that!
/finally sits up a bit more properly when I catch my breath, looking at you with a curious head tilt/
You don’t *think* you are? /teasing/ Which means there’s a possibility you are? /smiles playfully/

@✧ ┆ l. yangyang. ˢʰᵉᵉᵖ smiles as I hold your body and look at you with innocent look*
I was laughing cause you were adorable.
*laughs even more as I just hug you close*
I don't think I am!

@✦ ┆ l. minhyuk. ˡᶦᵒⁿ /gasps in relief when you finally stopped, slumping against you while catching my breath (a few wheezes and airy laughs in between)/
Oh yeah? /chuckles a bit breathlessly, turning my head to face you without pulling away/ You were laughing at my suffering, how rude /smacks your shoulder half-heartedly/ Are you a sadist? /joking/

@✧ ┆ l. yangyang. ˢʰᵉᵉᵖ () hearing*

@✧ ┆ l. yangyang. ˢʰᵉᵉᵖ *chuckles when I quite enjoy seeing you struggling but laughing so much after what we shared*
God you are cute for real.
*stops tickling you after you smack me, smiles at you*
It was nice heating your laughing
*says softly as I lean you against me*

@✦ ┆ l. minhyuk. ˡᶦᵒⁿ Oh shi–
/yells a laugh at the new wave of tickles, struggling away from you before smacking your shoulder/
Time out, time out! Mercy!
I’ll believe you if you stop! Promise!

@✧ ┆ l. yangyang. ˢʰᵉᵉᵖ You can always try and find out if you don't believe me.
*chuckles at you, but when you start giggle when I tickle you it makes me smile widely*
I have a weapon against you now, my lovely plushie!
*laughs myself as I keep tickling you, want to hear you giggle a little more*
