AS THE CHERRY BLOSSOMS FALL. / PJM

lakefront talks

⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀yeoreum takes him to the lake next to her home.

it's quaint, confined to its location. a couple of people are fishing while kids roam around with kites in their hands and mouths full of bubblegum.

yeoreum takes a seat next to a giant rock. bringing her shoulders to her chest, she says, "i used to go here whenever i was stressed."

jimin nods along, pursing his lips. "i would have come here too. it's really relieving."

he looks around, admiring the distant evergreen trees and the translucent clouds, resting amongst the bright morning sky. near his own house resided mountains and a famous beach. although he admits that nothing else could compare to the own famliarity and coziness of his neighborhood, jimin enjoys the lake. he likes the strong scent of the saltwater and admires the sea creatures that he often spots.

"i enjoy it more than often today out of all days, though," yeoreum whispers.

jimin turns, only to find that yeoreum's staring at him first. "and why's that?"

"because you're here!"
