do i- do i...

to do or not to do ????

you attempted to not make a face and took his hand. he seemed to look more happy , a grin on the corner of his lips. as you both walked closer to the lake , you couldn't help but enjoy the view.

starfell park was a nature park that highlighted the main attraction , the crystal-clear lake with many flowers residing in the shores. some ducks swam around and quacked loudly.

quak quack.

yoongwo couldn't help but giggle at the ducks and how the waddled out of the lake. their orange feet left marks on the sand as they approached the two of you. he tossed them a piece of bread.

"these are grimaud ducks. they tend to be used mostly for meat so it's rare seeing them not live in a farm." he said. you raised a brow. "you seem to know a lot about ducks."

yoongwo kept his gaze on the ducks. "well , i do have a love for all animals. specifically birds. i'm studying to become a avian veternarian." you hummed. "that's pretty cool." he blushed slightly. luckily the ducks were covering his face , their butts extended in the air and beaks jabbing at the bread.

quack !! quack quack quack.

"want to try feeding them ?"

he offered you the plastic bag , which you took with a smile. you picked up a piece and offered it to a duck.

holy shit they eat fast.

the pristine white duck practically gobbled the bread as if there was no tommorow. you couldn't help but blush.

reminds me of xiao...

"you okay ?"

"huh ? oh- yeah i'm fine."

actually , xiao seemed pretty annoyed when i told him that i'll be out eating lunch today.

you remembed how he visibly scowled and muttered something under his breath , something under the lines of 'lucky scum' and 'treat her better' but you couldn't make any of his words.

"so... wanna eat now ?"

it was actually quite fun talking to yoongwo. he always listened carefully and was able to match your energy perfectly. a few things did seem off about him though. you both left at around 3pm , getting caught up in a conversation that intruiged you.

the way he gave you a loving gaze and how his hand would slightly graze yours every now and then.

he also took a few nice pictures of you and him together , so you posted it on your instagram with a caption: i like looking at ducks.

you now sat at your couch , a sketchbook in hand and phone laid on the ground. xiao was apparently helping someone out with moving , so he would come home in about an hour or two. the clock read 6:00.

((lowkey tryna make this as short as possible bc i feel like some of yall hate long chapters and i do too unless they update frequently and have good plot writing))
