Cursed - Yeonbin

> 109

„And that's it. We have all the ingredients, it's time to go back.", Yeonjun says as he picks the last purple leaves of the hidden tree of heaven, Soobin still astonished by the looks and size of it.

The tree is big, not that much in height, though it's still clearly about 10 meters high at least, but in the way it spread to the sides it's way bigger, gigantic. The fact that it's still bright underneath the tree is something that Soobin can't understand.

„How is there light down here?"

„Don't try to understand it sweetheart, this world is different from yours in many ways. Not all but many."

„Wait did you just..."

„Yes I did, deal with it. Now let's go, since we now have everything we can go back. And without having to search we will be there in maybe around an hour by flying. So, close your eyes Binie."

„Ah wait wait wait! Can I maybe just ride on your back?"

With a sigh Yeonjun gives in after thinking about it for a bit.

„Fine, but be careful to not move up there and hold on tight to the feathers, no matter what. I know the flames look scary but the height will as well."

„Your feathers aren't scary. Neither are the flames. They're pretty warm and soft, comfortable.", Soobin answers, his honesty surprising Yeonjun as he just quickly transforms to hide his embarrassment, the three meter big Phoenix being in front of Soobin again.

„Hehe, You're so shy sometimes Jun. It's cute when you're like that."

„Just don't comment it and get on, the others will worry since it's been almost a week now."

„Already? Wow..."

Yeonjun lies down to help Soobin get on his back easier, he doesn't hesitate to touch Yeonjun at all, to basically put his hand into flames, as he touches the feathers and gets up.

Yeonjun careful stands back up, Soobin grabbing onto the feathers, even if hesitant at first since he doesn't want to hurt Yeonjun.

„Don't worry Soobin, you can grab onto them a bit stronger, it doesn't hurt like this. Just make sure you don't fall down, Else I will have to slow down."

„Alright, if you say so."
