When your best friend finds out your secrets, you know your peace is going to turn into a real mess. But nothing can calm you down so much as ice cream can, right? And that one, the tastiest on the World, was served by the most angelic human Taehyun...
The couple of young boys climbed over the steel mesh without any further delay and jumped into a knee-high grass behind it. There was some other overgrown thuja hedge in front of them. This ornamental conifer was in fact the thing that familiarized Taehyun with their location. He used to hide behind it, while playing with Beomgyu and Yeonjun as a child. He kept those happy memories.
"I think you actually knew where we are going to."
"Maybe..." I didn't. At least I didn't expect any obstacle. "I know this hedge and its position fits to my childhood memories."
Whilst Taehyun was finding a way out - to the land of desolated amusement park - Hyuka looked up to the sky and squinted on unexpected security camera that was attached to a high pole.
"Ain't it illegal?" Kai worried.
"No one has entered here for ages. It's not illegal until we do something really illegal."
If the future detective was saying it, then it was hopefully true. Although, movie detectives tend to be kinda nosy in order to find clues and answers and Taehyun himself wasn't quite sure if it's really okay to enter the land of Magic Island without a permission. But as he said and planed to follow - they won't do anything illegal.
"Let's try it here," Hyuka suggested when he found some bigger hole between a plenty of small branches. Taehyun nodded in agreement and then both of them carefully slipped through the ornamental bushes.
They ended up on a large place covered in the same knee-height grass.
There were a few abandoned rusty camper vans here and there. Taehyun remembered that some toys or food was sold in them. He loved to occasionally buy some mysterious item or collectible cards, while Yeonjun and Beomgyu usually spend their savings on the attractions.
Led by those memories full of laughter which was replaced by the evening silence and birds' chirping, Taehyun walked to a ramshackle carousel. Now it seemed to be oddly placed in the middle of nowhere.
He stepped up and sat on its platform that held smaller circus horses arranged in a circle and condemned for eternity.
After checking on some another old pictures hidden in the grass and distanced forest, he looked at Kai and smiled as he felt some peace in his burning heart. He shrugged rubbing his palms.
"Why did they even close it?" asked Kai, who barely visited the amusement park once, after he and his family moved to this city years ago.
"It was because of some rumor... It's not pretty at all, so I better won't tell you about it." Not today, no one is talking about it.
Because of this Taehyun's sweet rejection Kai smiled as well. He understood and sat next to him with a deep exhale.
His fingers grabbed the edge of the platform and he swung his legs. Happiness was clearly visible in his eyes.
"You don't have to talk about it. Now this place is getting a brand new charm."
Kai's words brought back the calmness. For a few seconds they only listened to birds and a cooling wind playing in leaves and blades of grass. It was just two of them and this lonely place.
Then Taehyun put his palm on the back of Kai's clenched hand and looked away.
Kai moved a little bit in the corner of Tae's eye. However, the movement didn't make him raise his head, his sight still shyly averted... only focusing on his hand resting on Kai's and how Kai let go of the edge of carousel base, lifted his fingers a bit so that Taehyun could intertwine his fingers with Kai's. In that moment Taehyun's attention was fully on their holding hands, on the touch, the gesture. He didn't notice Kai moving even closer.
In a split second Tae felt a slowly burning spot on his cheek.
A peck? He glanced at the boy next to him.
There was a playful smile in Huening Kai's expression until he started to laugh out loud and covered his lips by his free hand. He couldn't believe he had actually done it. He touched him with his lips.
Taehyun's first smile after the initial surprise seemed to be kinda uncomfortable, but then he started to giggle, too.
These lessons of faith made him so thirsty because of love warming his chest that he was really thankful for a juicy fruit Kai handed him. Tae gave the peach a moment of admiration, because its dark red peel with a single yellow strip was just saying it all - he believed that Kai chose this one especially for him.
"You're so impressive." Taehyun looked at Kai so the addressee of his sentence wouldn't think he was talking about the peach.
Then he took a bite. Sweet nectar flooded his mouth and all of this just felt even more like heaven. He had to close his eyes to fully enjoy the feeling, the taste.
"It's nothing... compared to you," mumbled Hyuka, as he was watching Tae who laid down on his back. He would be so okay to just stay here with him forever.
Huening chuckled and slowly laid down next to him, turning his head with an amorous look.
"How come you don't have any nectar flowing on your cheeks?" He would be definitely dirty eating like this, but Tae was surprisingly completely fine.
"Skills," replied the magic guy after he quickly sucked some of sweet drops with his lips.
All of Taehyun seemed to be so admirable, magical... even if it was called skills. Attractive skills. Maybe he was the magic itself and its essence were those stars sparkling in his eyes next to his love for Huening Kai.
"Of course..."
Watching Taehyun, who was putting his lips on the gifted tasty fruit, he suddenly wanted to kiss him so bad. Even the old security camera in the distance couldn't see them since they were hidden under the roof of carousel, which became a musical box that played a song of their pounding hearts.
But- he should tell him first...
