Echoes in the forest | Minsung

A Weekend of Whispers and Shadows

Han Jisung was practically vibrating with excitement as he typed out his invitation. The days had dragged on since his last encounter with Lee Know, each moment stretching longer than the last. The darkness of the forest seemed to loom closer with each passing day, but the light of Lee Know's presence was a welcome relief.

He hit send on his phone, hoping that Lee Know would accept his invitation to visit for the weekend. The thought of spending time together in a different setting, away from the shadows and secrets of the village, filled him with a sense of anticipation and hope.

When Lee Know's reply came through, Jisung felt a rush of joy. "I'd love to visit. I'll be there this Friday. Can't wait."

The weekend couldn't come soon enough.

Friday arrived with a burst of energy. Jisung had spent the entire day preparing his apartment, cleaning, and making sure everything was perfect. He wanted Lee Know to feel welcome and comfortable, a far cry from the oppressive atmosphere of the village.

When Lee Know finally arrived, the two of them embraced, and the warmth of his presence was intoxicating. Jisung showed him around the apartment, making small talk and trying to hide his nervousness. Lee Know seemed relaxed and at ease, which put Jisung at ease too.

"Let's start with dinner," Jisung suggested, his eyes sparkling with excitement. "I've got some great places in mind."

They spent the evening exploring the city, hopping from one café to another. They laughed over shared desserts, indulged in hearty meals, and enjoyed each other's company. The night was filled with a sense of freedom and joy that Jisung hadn't felt in a long time.

As they walked back to Jisung's apartment, Lee Know's hand brushed against his, and Jisung felt a shiver of anticipation. The intimacy of the evening had created a palpable tension between them, and it was clear that the connection they shared was more than just friendly.

They settled down on the sofa with a couple of beers, the room dimly lit by the soft glow of a lamp. The atmosphere was relaxed, the worries of the past few weeks momentarily forgotten. They chatted about their favorite music, their dreams, and their fears, their voices low and intimate.

As the night wore on, the conversation gradually turned quieter. The space between them seemed to shrink, and the unspoken tension grew. Jisung's heart raced as he noticed the way Lee Know's gaze lingered on him, the intensity in his eyes.

"Han," Lee Know said softly, his voice low and husky, "I've been wanting to tell you something."

Jisung felt a thrill run through him. "What is it?"

Lee Know leaned closer, his breath warm against Jisung's cheek. "I've wanted to be close to you. For a long time."

Before Jisung could respond, Lee Know's lips were on his, capturing them in a searing kiss. The sensation was electric, sending waves of heat through Jisung's body. He gasped, then melted into the kiss, his hands finding their way to Lee Know's neck, pulling him closer.

Lee Know's hands roamed over Jisung's back, pulling him against his body. The kiss deepened, growing more passionate, as their breaths mingled and their hearts raced. Jisung could feel the heat of Lee Know's body, the strength of his touch, and the intensity of his desire.

Their bodies pressed together, and Jisung could feel the firmness of Lee Know's chest against his own. The world outside seemed to disappear, leaving only the electric connection between them. Jisung's fingers tangled in Lee Know's hair, tugging him closer as their kiss became more urgent.
