☆ ELI
"Aren't you the cutest?"
Your smile was bright as Yenna tugged at the collar of your windbreaker. Your walks around the playground always ended the same way. Yenna would climb onto the bench, paying more attention to you than to the games and the other children.
The little girl's bottle was clutched in her small but surprisingly strong hand. She took several big gulps, making those familiar sounds as if she'd never tasted water before.
"Better, baby?" you smiled as the kid nodded and handed you the bottle. "Daddy is going to be back soon. Don't you want to play while we're waiting?"
Your hand fixed the ponytail you'd done for her that morning, but Yenna shook her head.
No. No, no, and one more time... no! She was staying right here.
"Sorry... You two alright?" the familiar voice made you turn around.
The little girl's squeals immediately got louder as she raised her hands, babbling something in her own language.
"There was a huge line."
Eli pressed a small kiss to your temple. A brief touch but it meant so much more. His eyes quickly scanned over you and his daughter once again, making sure you were both safe. When he didn't spot anything wrong, he smiled.
Good.
His arm slid around Yenna before lifting her into the air. You stood up as well, and his hand immediately settled on your lower back, making sure the two most important people in his life stayed close.
A small routine. Just you, Yenna, and him. Spending time together without any particular purpose. Yet every moment filled his heart with a quiet warmth.
This was his family.
"Shit, I forgot..." Eli blinked at the plastic bag in his hand. He muttered it quietly, making sure little ears wouldn't hear.
"Shit!" she repeated. Loud and crystal clear.
You pressed a hand over your mouth while Eli gave you the most horrified look of his life.
☆ TAESOO
His attention was always on you.
Just casually checking to make sure everything was alright. Not because he was overprotective (well, maybe a little). He knew you could take care of yourself.
It just happened that the mountains were dangerous. He trusted you and your survival skills, but his eyes still drifted back to your silhouette every now and then.
"There!" you said excitedly, squatting down beside him near the bonfire. Several berries rested in your palm.
"You sure they're edible?" he teased, taking all of them before tossing them straight into his mouth. "If I die, you're staying here forever."
"If I wanted you dead, I'd come up with a better plan." you wiped your hands on your pants and sat down beside him.
The two of you sat in comfortable silence for a few moments before you suddenly asked:
"... Wait. What meat is that?"
"Snake."
"H-Huh?"
You blinked at the fire once before giving him a suspicious look. Snake? Like snake snake? The long and hissing one?
"I love you very much, but I don't want to eat that..."
He chuckled, the sound low and rich. His hand ran around your thigh, enjoying the simple comfort of having you so close. Just you and him, with no one nearby.
"Just kidding, darling. It's chicken," he murmured against your jaw, breathing in your scent. He knew you didn't like culinary experiments, so he always made sure you were well-fed even out here in the forest.
His lips brushed against your neck, the rough bristles of his jaw touched your skin. Just as his hand started to move under your shirt, you made a sound of protest.
"Did you wash your hands?"
"Did you wash your hands before feeding me those berries?"
"... Fair enough. Take off your clothes."
☆ SEONGJI
You raised your arms into the air and took a deep breath. Ahh. The air here was so clean. No city noise. No crowds.
Honestly this place could be sold as some ridiculously overpriced retreat for wealthy people looking for a few days of peace and quiet. Not a bad business idea.
"Drink," his voice pulled you from your thoughts.
Seongji held out a cup filled with something warm, his gentle eyes looking at you as if you were something precious.
Well, to him, you were. The most precious thing in his life.
"It's so nice here!" you said, taking the slightly battered mug from his hands.
He didn't bother hiding his fingers from you anymore, having finally accepted that you never saw them as something strange.
"The air is so fresh! And I saw a mouse over there..."
You pointed off to the side.
"Much cuter than the city's rats," you added dramatically. That earned a slightly wider smile from him.
He simply nodded, because honestly, he wasn't sure how big city rats actually were.
You kept talking about the beauty of this place and he found himself unable to stop his thoughts from wandering.
This place had always been his refuge. The place he'd retreated to while hiding from the rest of the world. He'd never thought of it as something beautiful.
The only beautiful thing here was you.
Your presence made everything feel lighter. Brighter. You made him feel like this damned mountain wasn't such a bad place after all. His chest tightened at the thought.
How had he lived without you before? And what had he done to deserve someone so wonderful by his side?
You stopped talking when his arms suddenly wrapped around you, his face buried in the crook of your neck.
"Seongji?" you asked worried. For a moment, you were afraid he wasn't feeling well again.
"Let's just... stay like this. Please," this time, it was your heart that tightened, "Just a little longer."
