At first, Jooyeon attempted to reassure herself that her senses were still becoming attuned to being back in Korea and that it was completely and utterly normal for her to have sensory overload. There was no humanly possible way the scent of fertile soil or the overgrown vines could have grown that rapidly in her absence. As she felt the soft and rich earth beneath her feet, her eyes flickered around, taking in her surroundings. This wasn’t Xiah’s doing; the trees that he had let grown were much darker and overwhelming than what she saw here, and he definitely didn’t let flowers grace his greenery. Jooyeon’s eyes reflected curiosity laced with confusion as she wondered about who could create such flora.
Stepping close and stopping before a branch that draped down from what seemed to be a newly grown tree in the area, Jooyeon tilted her head to get a better look. “...Plum blossoms?” Looking over at the flowers draped above her, her eyes narrowed; just how did they even manage to bloom if they were not even in season? Plucking a lone blossom from the branch, Jooyeon held it between her fingers, suddenly curious as to who managed to possess such power. “Hm. Time to find out who brought these here while I was gone...” Humming quietly, she kept the plum blossom in her hand as she held it out, palm up. Within moments, the flower in her hand caught fire, petals disintegrating and little wisps of smoke dispersing into the air; whoever brought these flowers would at least notice such a thing happening.
