⏳Tea In The Air⏳

    On the trip to the festival, in Hongjoong's carriage, Mingi, Yunho, and Hong were talking about what they'd do when they got there. Hwa was looking out the window in his own world as Joong rubbed his thigh while he talked to the others.
    In the second carriage, Wooyoung and San were being their usual selves(if you know what we mean👀) as Jongho and Yeosang chose to just ignored them the whole trip.
After a few hours, they had finally made it to the festival. They were to stay here for half a week and celebrate Yeosangs birthday early.
    The carriages eventually came to a stop and everyone got out, happy to finally stretch their legs. Hong, like the gentleman he is, got out before Hwa and turned to gently grab Hwa's hand, helping him out of the carriage.
    After everyone came together, they started to walk around until they found an Inn. They checked in and got their rooms. The rooms were set up to where every couple had their own separate room, as they had on the ship. They all decided to go to their rooms and wind down for a bit to rest before they explored the Festival.
    At this time Jongho asked Yeosang stuff that he wanted for his birthday, such as cake, presents, and events. He just wanted to make sure he'd gotten at least around what Yeo wanted. He wanted his prince's birthday to be special.
    After they rested, they all gathered together outside, walking to the festival. They did a lot of the traditional things and most of what the festival had available.
    Around sunset, Hong and Hwa drifted off from the group so they could be alone again. They sat under a tree in the grass in an isolated area. "Are you having fun being with us?" Hongjoong asked, gently rubbing Hwa's thigh. "I've never felt so much thrill and excitement before. There's so much to do. Back when I was younger, there weren't many options or events where we could do stuff. Especially if you were a part of the royal family." Hwa explained, trying to shine a little light on his troubled past. Hwa always wished he had been born in a lower class. Not so that he'd be lacking of money, but just so that he could experience stuff that he was never been able to as royalty. Hong listened to him closely, holding onto his hand and rubbing it with his thumb.
    After Hwa was done talking, They made eye contact. Joong smiled a little and pulled Hwa's hand up to his mouth, placing a kiss on it. "I'm so happy that you decided to stay with us....that you decided to stay with me." Hong said softly. "I love you, Hwa." "I love you too" Hwa replied before giving Hongjoong a kiss.
The next day, the festival would officially be open. At the festival, ATEEZ walked around and found a storyteller on the street. They decided to take a seat at one of the open tables nearby and listened to the origin of the festival. They were also allowed to eat snacks while they listened. They learned that Boseong is considered the birthplace of the commercial tea industry and is the largest producer of tea in the country.
After listening to a few stories of the festival, ATEEZ decided to keep going. They did a bit of walking and saw a station that showed you how to make your own tea. ATEEZ were given a basket and sent to the tea fields nearby to go pick some tea leaves.
After gathering their leaves, they walked back to the stall and were guided to a seating area. They sat down in the grass on a blanket and made some tea sharing some laughs and stories.
After making the tea, They all sat around in a picnic style and drank their tea together.
Eventually, nightfall came and they went back to the Inn to sleep. The next day more stalls had opened and tea was everywhere. There were so many samples and all had cookies to go with them. They sampled every type of tea you could find.
After they had tried all the samples, they all decided to buy their favorite one. Hongjoong didn't make Hwa pay for his, he bought it instead.
On the next day, ATEEZ all thought that they would spend the day celebrating Yeosang's birthday. Jongho woke up Yeosang with pastries, flowers, and one of his presents, a neckless. It was a silver, long neckless scattered with pearls. with a cross at the end. When they woke up, it was still dark out so they decided to let the others sleep some more and just have some time to themselves. The stalls were just starting to open so they went around to get some souvenirs.
After spending some money and just being alone together for a while, the sun started to rise so they went back to the Inn to wake everyone else up. The day was full of celebration and new events.
That day, Yeosang was the center of attention. Jongho asked if Hong and Hwa could go get the cake. It was a plain vanilla cake. Wooyoung and San got food for the party. Yunho and Mingi got the decorations. They all stopped every now and then by shops to get presents for Yeosang.
In the afternoon, they got together in a field and had a picnic to celebrate Yeo's birthday. After they celebrated his birthday, there was another party happening with people dancing and music playing. They decided to stop by and have some fun.
They spent a couple more days at the festival before returning back to Mokpo. Once they returned,  Jongho helped Yeo out of the carriage. "I've got one more present for you, Yeo". Yunho brought out a Doberman. Yeosang was ecstatic. "I love him!" He said, hugging Jongho. "But uhm...I don't really know what to do with the him...the ship isn't really pet friendly". Yeosang said as he pulled out of the hug. "How about, for the time being, he could live at your or my parent's house until the day that we can settle down in a house?" Jongho suggested. "Ok, just as long as he's taken care of" He said, turning back to the dog. "I'm gonna call you HETmongi" He said, crouching down and petting him. They went aboard the ship and started charting course for Yeosang's, Jongho's, and Mingi's home town, Ulsan.
