&& with @hjinae
it wasn’t often that hasun immersed himself with nature, but maybe that was why the afternoon felt especially peaceful. serene, even. the trail was unfamiliar because he hadn’t so much as stepped foot in this part of the park before, associating it with all kinds of gross bugs, but he could understand why jinae liked to take her time looking at the scenery. the way the light hit the leaves gave them a strange glow, like something that someone as lowly as him wasn’t meant to see.
