Enchanted Hearts │ LEEKNOW

Chapter 2

As the days turned into weeks, Y/n and Minho found themselves drawn into each other's worlds like two planets caught in a delightful gravitational pull. Theirs was a connection that defied explanation—a quiet librarian and an exuberant free spirit, an odd yet strangely perfect pair.Minho's world was one of boundless imagination. He reveled in life's simple pleasures and believed that each moment held the potential for adventure. It was a belief that he carried with him every day, evident in the twinkle in his eye and the ever-present grin on his face.One sunny afternoon, Minho invited Y/n to join him on a journey into the world of imagination, a place he held dear and wanted to share with her. It was an invitation she accepted with a mixture of curiosity and trepidation.Their destination was the nearby forest, a place that Minho referred to as "The Enchanted Woods." To Y/n, it was merely a cluster of trees, but Minho saw it as a realm filled with untold wonders and hidden treasures.As they ventured into the heart of the woods, Minho's enthusiasm was infectious. He pointed out shapes in the clouds, identified imaginary creatures among the leaves, and spun tales of the forest's magical inhabitants. Y/n, who had never allowed herself such flights of fancy, couldn't help but be drawn into his vivid storytelling."Look, Y/n!" Minho exclaimed, pointing to a peculiarly shaped tree. "That's the Guardian Tree. It watches over the entire forest, making sure everyone is safe."Y/n chuckled, indulging him. "The Guardian Tree, huh? What else can you show me?"With a mischievous grin, Minho led Y/n deeper into the woods. Along the way, they discovered a hidden glade where the sunlight filtered through the leaves in a way that made it look like a secret fairy realm. Minho whispered that this was the meeting place of forest sprites, and they had to tiptoe so as not to disturb them.As they continued their journey, they encountered a babbling brook that Minho insisted was home to water nymphs. He encouraged Y/n to make a wish by tossing a pebble into the sparkling waters, promising her that the nymphs would hear her heart's desire.With a playful glint in her eye, Y/n made her wish, allowing herself a moment of whimsy. It was a moment she hadn't experienced in years, and it felt liberating.They explored deeper into the forest, their laughter echoing among the trees. The world around them seemed to transform as they lost themselves in each other's company. Y/n's heart, once bound by the weight of responsibility, began to soar with newfound lightness.Hours passed like minutes, and the sun began its descent towards the horizon. Minho and Y/n realized that they had ventured far into the heart of the woods, far from the familiar paths of the park. Yet, neither of them felt the slightest bit of worry.The forest had woven its magic around them, and they were content to be lost in its embrace. Minho's playful spirit and Y/n's newfound willingness to embrace the wonders of the world around her created a unique synergy that neither of them wanted to end.By the time they emerged from the woods, the sun had dipped below the horizon, painting the sky with hues of orange and pink. Y/n realized that she had lost track of time, and for the first time in ages, she didn't mind.As they bid each other farewell that evening, Minho grinned mischievously and said, "Same time next week, Y/n?"Y/n nodded, a smile tugging at her lips. "I wouldn't miss it for the world, Lee Know."In the world of imagination that Minho had introduced her to, Y/n discovered a new facet of herself—a part that yearned for spontaneity, wonder, and the joy of embracing life's simplest pleasures. And she knew that this newfound friendship with the eternal playmate, Lee Know, would forever alter the course of her life.Their adventures in the Enchanted Woods were just the beginning, and they both had a feeling that their journey was about to become even more magical.---
