「i wonder if this is too fast but because of you, each day feels so new.」
"so how did it go with what you were sorting out?" junhui asks as they walk under the gentle sun as they walk along the chilly beach, yeosang was all bundled up in a cream pea coat and a matching beret, hand wrapped around junhui's arm as he looked down at the sandy floor, looking for little seashells
"i think so." he answers, continuing their walk as junhui hands him his cup of warm coffee and yeosang drinks from it like a baby bird as he held it
"what was it by the way? if you don't mind me asking that is." he spoke softly, making sure he doesn't upset yeosang if ever it was something personal but yeosang lets go of him as he picks up another shell.
as he comes back up, junhui fixes the beret that had slid to the side of his head and yeosang thanks him
"well, i think there was some tension between seonghwa and i but i thought long and hard while i was gone and decided to hear out his side," the kitten explains, he halts his steps when he finds a spot that he deemed perfect to just sit around in and talk
so junhui lets him take out the blanket from his bag and lay it down on the sand "have you been in a fight or?" the latter asks when he takes out a book, sitting down before yeosang takes off his beret and lay his head down on his lap
"read to me," he smiles up at him before closing his eyes
"i wouldn't call it a fight but rather he got a little overwhelmed with who i am," junhui's lips form into an "o" shape as he understood, he was quite surprised as to what yeosang was and seonghwa might have just had a different comprehension
"but you are okay, right?" he pressed, yeosang nods "good, i don't like seeing you sad." he pets his head before opening up his book of poetry
"i've never really met him formally but from what i heard, he's a good man." yeosang doesn't respond, opening one of his eyes to look at junhui as in the angle he is in he looked like he was the sun as the rays hit the back of his head perfectly making it seem like he was glowing
"as good as you?" he quizzes making junhui blush "i think there's different perspectives of what good is, kitten." he pokes his nose, putting the book aside
"i guess you're right." he agrees to what he had said before egging him on to read to him as he liked listening to his voice
"a long time i have loved the sunned mother-of-pearl of your body. until i even believe that you own the universe,"
yeosang toyed around with junhui's fingers that were on the cover of the book, holding it upright as he reads, he doesn't want to admit it but a part of him was thinking what he is to junhui as it may be complicated as he's technically bound to seonghwa
maybe not as a lover but as a companion, he doesn't know what the possibilities could be if ever junhui asks more from him and it had been clouding his mind for the past few days.
"i will bring you happy flowers from the mountains, bluebells, dark hazels, and rustic baskets of kisses."
he knows that he has an attitude but the last thing he wants to do is hurt another person intentionally and if there is an underlying relationship between him and junhui, he wouldn't want to hurt him as he was a pure person who shouldn't be hurt.
"i want to do with you what spring does with the cherry trees."
"what are we?" yeosang blurts out upon junhui finishes reading aloud "pardon?" junhui asks, brows furrowing as he puts the book down so he can take a good look at yeosang
"what are we?" he repeated the question as he sits up, junhui sighs as he tucked a lock of hair away from yeosang's face "friends?" his answer comes out as a question and it made yeosang laugh lightly
"no, what i mean is, do you want us to be more than that or?" he twiddles his fingers as he waits for the answer "a relationship would be nice but it's not really for me considering how much of a shut in i am," for some reason yeosang felt relief was over him, even more so when junhui added a little joke
"and i like what we have as friends, you know?" yeosang nods, telling junhui to calm down "i'm not mad, i just wanted to know, no need to worry." he hugs him, causing him to fall back to the sandy floor and they erupted in giggles
"well, i'm glad, i was scared you were hoping for more and i can't give it to you." the kitten rolls off him, helping him sit back up
"oh no, i was scared you wanted more and i would be conflicted!" yeosang beams as they were worried about the same thing
junhui just wraps his hand over his shoulders, pulling him close and kissing the top of his head as they laugh at their assumptions of each other, watching the birds fly in the sky, the waves crashing to the shore and how the clouds moved "why are we the way we are?"
（ฅ＾・ﻌ・＾ฅ）
"i'm home!" yeosang calls out as soon as he steps foot inside the house, he'd been out for more than what he told everyone as they lost track time at the beach just reading poetry, collecting little shells and at one point junhui threatened to throw him to the sea.
"hey princess, had fun?" seonghwa lowers the volume of the television as yeosang hangs his coat on to the rack "yes, where's woo and sannie?" he asks, sitting down
"triple date." seonghwa answers as he offers the spot next to him because yeosang was sitting quite far "what did you do today?" the stylists asks, bringing up a biscuit to the kitten's mouth which he nibbles on
"spent my day at the beach, i have a bunch of seashells that look cute, it was nice, refreshing to be honest." he answers, taking the glass of pink lemonade from the table
"how about i turn it to a necklace, would you like that?" he offers and with wide eyes, yeosang nods excitedly "of course, we can do it together if you want."
they barely talked for a few hours as they were too immersed in the drama that was showing, seonghwa ended up feeding yeosang more and more until their snacks were all finished
"how was your day?" yeosang finally broke the silence during the end credits and seonghwa looks down at him
"nothing much, just happy to be able to rest with all the hectic schedules finally finished." seonghwa raises his arms over his head, stretching his body out from being on the couch the whole day
"but you do get to spend time with me, that's a treat, right?" yeosang says playfully, getting up and it made seonghwa laugh
"yes, of course, how about you go get changed into something comfortable while i prepare some dinner." yeosang does what he's told, rushing up the stairs carefully and into his shared room with seonghwa.
he smelled like the salty sea so he ended up having a quick shower because he liked smelling like vanilla and cinnamon, he goes over to seonghwa's side of the closet
putting on one of his hoodies so he can feel like he's engulfed by his scent and he puts on his lavender pajama shorts as well as a pair of matching lavender socks
it was a contrast from the dark hoodie but he likes how it looked, especially since the hoodie went down to his legs, hiding the fact that he was wearing shorts underneath, his fluffy tail sprouts out, hanging out of the garment.
"so, what are we having?" yeosang props himself up the counter while seonghwa had his back against him, rummaging through the fridge
"well, i was gonna cook but i didn't know what so i ordered, i'm just gonna prepare more lemonade." he was a bit taken aback when he finally turns to yeosang, he feels his breath hitch, even though yeosang wasn't really doing anything he felt himself going warm
"is that," he clears his throat "is that my hoodie?" he asks, yeosang looks up and nods his head "is it okay?" he pouts looking down at it
"yes, of course, you look good in it." seonghwa tries to avoid looking at him but there wasn't really a way as he was gonna have to use the counter where yeosang is sitting at.
his hand almost slips when he caught the sight of the fading hickeys on yeosang's legs while the kitten was busy on his phone
"are you okay?" yeosang asks, voice full of concern "y-yup, perfect!" seonghwa's voice came out a little pitched and that's when the kitten catches him look at his legs and he scoffs, smirking
"am i distracting you?" he inches closer to him, his tail wrapping around seonghwa's waist, pulling him close as his flirtatious and confident side jumps out upon seeing how he affected seonghwa
"i can be yours too, if you want that is." he sees how seonghwa's throat bobs, he can smell the arousal in the air but despite wanting to seduce him even more, he wouldn't want to take advantage of it seeing as they've just gotten along and he wouldn't want to disrupt it again
"i'll be in the living room so you can get back to what you're doing." he kisses seonghwa's cheek, uncurling his tail as he hops off.
he leaves seonghwa a flustered mess in the kitchen, breathing quite heavily as his cheeks heat up, becoming red from what just happened.
