Hyeongjun's pov:

Alright, so I am not the biggest fan of my job. I much preferred the job I had back in the South, but if it meant being with Seungmin, then he could take on the most boring, uninteresting job.

Yeah, working in an office is probably not the best thing. Like, I'd rather be working anywhere else.

But anyway, today I'm not working, so enough about that.

"Hyeongjunnie!" He wrapped his arms around my waist and kissed my cheek. "Since Dahyun is out with friends, we should go out" Seungmin suggested, so, I asked where we should go.

"Let's go to the park" Seungmin took my hand and pulled me out of the house. Which, I did not agree to! If being extroverted means randomly going out then count me out.

Well... I'm very introverted for a reason then.

--

Seungmin and I were walking around the park. We were quietly walking, our fingers were interlocked.

"That tree over there!" Seungmin finally pointed to a rather old tree. It was pretty strange, I mean, he does do strange things sometimes, but I don't know about this one.

I nodded trying to figure out where he was going with this. "It's been here longer than I've been alive" He went up to it and showed me a few broken parts of the tree.

"That one as well, except, it was planted when I started high school" Where the hell is he taking this, I genuinely can't understand what he wants to say.

"And the branches of the newer tree often fall on the old one" Seungmin examined the tree and smiled to himself after noticing a random branch.

"And it hurts the old tree" Ok, I think he's officially lost it. Oh well, whatever, at the end of the day it's still Seungmin.

"But that huge branch over there, when the old one was about to lose a bunch of it's leaves and that huge branch!" Seungmin explained, this park was right next to where he was raised. So it made sense as to why he knew all of these things. But it still didn't explain why he was telling me something like that.

"Where are you going with this?" Curiosity finally got the best of me. I just had to know now.

"Basically, it's a metaphor, for how you- the older tree, no matter how much I might accidentally kick you, and how much I hurt you in the past" Seungmin paused himself, he had to find the perfect formulation for what he was about to tell me. Well, I mean, in my opinion, it doesn't have to be perfect for me. Everything about Seungmin fits my personal definition of perfection.

"But I've changed, that tree helped the older one not lose it's leaves" I still don't understand what he was saying. I know he's doing his metaphor thingy, but I still don't understand.

"And basically, it shows, how no matter how much time pass, I'll always be there for you" He kissed my cheek, ever since what happened with my parents, he's become much less fearful of showing off his sexuality.

Which I'm not sure is a great idea, but, his life, his choices.
