~•~•~•~ SeongJoong for @kimjaejae3 🥺💕~•~•~•~~•~•~•~
Hongjoong looked at Seonghwa as they walked across the meadow reaching a small walking trail that led to where they wanted to go. They hadn't said anything the entire walk, the two of them looking around but not at each other... directly at least.
Seonghwa glanced at Hongjoong from time to time to make sure he didn't have trouble walking. His injuries were pretty serious and Hongjoong had a way of hiding how hurt he was all the time, making Seonghwa more worried.
He wasn't doing all that well himself either, stumbling on a tree branch, as he almost landed face first into the forest mud, Hongjoong catching him before he fell. Seonghwa looked at Hongjoong whose hand was around his waist gently, the other hand holding his hand, as he looked down at his leg before looking up at him.
"You okay?" Hongjoong asked, Seonghwa nodding as he stepped away from him, avoiding his eyes that were probably a little blue. Hongjoong held onto Seonghwa's hand, growing a little surprised when Seonghwa didn't complain or pull away. Hongjoong's eyes turned a lighter shade of blue as he held back his smile, Seonghwa holding his hand back as they continued their walk.
Hongjoong took this as a good sign, hoping that Seonghwa wouldn't pull away at all. He missed him more now than the centuries he had spent without him since he was right there and he could hug him, tell him everything, hold his hand like this but at the same time he couldn't.
"What no Mr. Park at the end of that?" Seonghwa asked, still being a little defensive but lacking an argumentative tone. Hongjoong smiled, looking away from him as he looked at the trees that cast a giant shadow making it so that the weather seemed more cloudy than sunny.
"You called me Mr. Kim first." Hongjoong said, reminding Seonghwa, as he looked at him again. "But no, not when you asked so nicely." Hongjoong said, leaning in towards Seonghwa a bit as Seonghwa held back a small smile and looked away.
"Where did you want to look by the way? We've been walking for a while." Seonghwa asked, looking around as he saw the view of a city not too far away in between the trees.
"I can carry you if you're tired." Hongjoong suggested, Seonghwa giving him a look as he tried to pull his hand away. Hongjoong pulled him back so that they were walking side to side, not letting go of his hand. Seonghwa's heart fluttered, when he looked at Hongjoong's eyes, the other letting him see their colors for the first time in forever.
They were a light blue color with hints of gold and dark blue, meaning that Hongjoong was happy and sad at the same time. He'd never asked what gold meant so he didn't know and he didn't really want to guess in case he was wrong.
"I heard they have a gondola lift here so I wanted to see if I can book a ride for all of us before we go." Hongjoong said. Seonghwa remembered what those were from the time he looked for San in Singapore.
"Everyone would love that." Seonghwa said smiling, Hongjoong looking at him. "I hope so." Hongjoong said, wondering about the worst that could happen as he questioned his choices. They two took a series of old wooden steps up as they finally reached the top of the hill a while later, Hongjoong walking him over to sit down on the nearest bench so he could rest.
"Wait here okay." Hongjoong said, missing Seonghwa's pout when he let go of his hand, letting him sit alone on the bench as went to ask about the ride. Seonghwa looked around at the few couples, a family, and a group of friends that were all hanging out nearby, not getting up to follow Hongjoong.
It was a large park-like area, the golondola lift tower where you got on his left, a bumper car ride near it, and a bridge that led to another area of the park just past the train where there were several restaurants and other rides. Seonghwa looked around a bit more, swinging his legs as he waited for Hongjoong, smiling when he saw a ladybug as he let it walk over to his hand.
