"You look happy," Jeongin commented as he joined Felix in the reading area of the library. Felix turned his head to look at Jeongin as he sat down, feeling embarrassment creep up on him. He hadn't realized that he had been staring out into empty space. "What's going on? Mind sharing?"
"Chan proposed," Felix said, a wide grin stretching on his lips and happiness exploding in his chest. A wide smile stretched on Jeongin's lips and his eyes flickered to Felix's left hand.
"Let me see," he said excitedly, holding out his hands. Felix placed the book he held in his hands to the side and held out his left hand. Jeongin took it carefully in his hands, inspecting the ring around Felix's finger. It was a plain silver ring with Chan's name inscribed on the inside. It was perfect and Felix wouldn't want it any other way. "It's pretty."
"Thank you," Felix said, pulling his hand back. He wrapped his fingers around his wrist, holding his hand close to his chest as he felt another smile tug on his lips.
"It's nice to see that Chan finally proposed."
"Finally?" Felix asked and Jeongin raised an eyebrow, not looking impressed at all.
"Listen," he began, shaking his head as an amused smile made its way up to his lips. "It's been rather obvious that he would propose to you. For a long time."
"Really?"
"Yes," Jeongin sighed, rolling his eyes playfully. "He's been head over heels since... well, to be honest, ever since we met you. And then... I guess ever since his coronation, it was just a matter of time."
Felix nodded slowly, chewing on his bottom lip as he averted his eyes. "How are you and Woojin doing?" he asked, changing the subject. "Good?"
"Getting better," Jeongin said, shrugging. "Woojin is still trying to fit in here but since Autumnwen helped out with the peace treaty, it's getting better. Most of the locals here doesn't bother him anymore but travelers do," he explained and Felix nodded.
"That's good," he said and Jeongin nodded, small smile tugging on his lips. "Are you still working for the blacksmith or..?"
"Yes we are," Jeongin replied, nodding his head. "But we're thinking of branching out. I don't know if the cold north is really... my kind of thing..." he trailed off and Felix nodded. It was understandable, Felix mused, for Jeongin to feel slightly uncomfortable; especially when the cold, northern winter was approaching.
"Are you going to move?"
"Maybe we'll just move further south," Jeongin said, shrugging. "Maybe to the Almárëa Telf somewhere. There were some villages around the temple of Caesinmor, maybe we'll go there. I just... I need to be somewhere else, at least during winter."
"I understand," Felix said, nodding his head a little. "As long as you send us a letter when you've settled down."
"Of course," Jeongin replied, grinning widely. "Have you decided when to have your wedding? I wouldn't want to miss that."
"We were planning it during spring," Felix said, smiling to himself as his heart fluttered in his chest. He felt so excited about it, even though the wedding itself was still months away. "Chan wanted to make sure there was enough time to plan the wedding and all that. And I like spring more than I like winter, so I'm not going to complain."
"Sounds nice," Jeongin said, running a hand through his hair. "I like spring too. Not really a fan of autumn and winter, to be honest," he continued and Felix nodded. "Too cold for me."
"So I guess you're happy with the choice of the time for the wedding then?" Felix asked, raising an eyebrow. Jeongin only laughed. Felix's heart felt warm and his smile stretched even wider. He felt so happy.
