After a minute or two of walking, Jisung suggests that they have some fun. It's been an emotionally charged evening but he's ready to unwind. Not to mention he was still looking forward to spending a more romantic evening with Minho. Even if they wind up being too tired for any rigorous exercise. Just a night in his arms without the threat of anyone barging in his room would be nice. "Ohh! I know what will loosen us up!" He says brightly, dragging the older boy into a nearby gas station. They grab a couple beers and various snacks, with Han leading them to a well known park. The glow of street lamps casts soft, golden halos on the pathway. The air is warm, laced with the scent of grass and faint traces of jasmine. The two guys walk side by side, casually brushing shoulders. Han cracks open a beer can with a soft hiss, handing it over as Minho grins, accepting it with a playful "cheers."

The park is peaceful under the dark sky. The two of them stroll along a winding path, their steps naturally in sync. There's a sense of comfort in the quiet, an unspoken intimacy that fills the spaces between their words. It's giving him a chance to unwind and breathe again. Normally he would probably feel more fatigued after the day they just had but being together like this is strangely energizing. Plus Minho is breathtaking in the moonlight. The shadows casting across his face heightened the sharpness of his features and made him look mysterious, alluring and even more cool. They exchange light banter, talking about anything and nothing, flirtatious remarks dotting through the conversation as well. They pause near a bench overlooking the lake, the moonlight dancing on the rippling water. Without a word, one of them slips his hand into the other's, their fingers automatically intertwining. It's a gesture that feels natural, like breathing, but it still sparks a soft, content smile between them. They stand there for a moment, just enjoying the stillness of the night, leaning into each other in that effortless way couples do. "Have I told you lately how handsome you are?" Jisung questions seriously which makes Minho laugh harder.

His boyfriend, (Can he call him that?) turns his head, raising an eyebrow. "At least twice since we've been here," he teases, but there's a soft blush on his cheeks as he takes a quick sip to hide it. "You look good too. I'm always so taken by pretty you are my pet," Minho praises, drawing him in for a kiss that makes his heart flutter. He hasn't heard this tone from Minho since the first time they made love and he's eager to hear it again under similar circumstances.

"Is it too late to get that hotel room?" He whispers, figuring now was not the time to be shy. Not when one kiss from Minho was enough to light a fire inside him.

Minho chuckles, still peppering his face with kisses, "Mmmm, we could go to that Inn next to the gas station...?"

Han blushes, "Uhhh, no, not that one. My aunt owns it and..." He didn't finish but he figured it was self explanatory.

Again, Minho chuckled, "Okay, what about that one down the road with a hot spring? It'll cost more but the water will be fun..."

Han nodded vehemently, "Yeah, no relatives there so we're all set."

They finish their beers, laughing and sharing more kisses in the privacy of the empty park trail. But once they're back on the main road they temper their passion and settle for hand holding as they approach the hotel. The receptionist gives them a small smirk as they request a room for just one night and Han feels his face heat up as Minho swipes his credit card. But nothing can put a damper on his mood right now. His body feels warm and loose, brain fuzzy but in a good way. In a way that prevents him from overthinking. He's just feeling and relying on instinct. Maybe that's why he's nearly climbing Minho like a tree as soon as the doors to the elevator close as they head up to their room. The hotel is a split level built on the side of a mountain, enabling them to have access to both the hot springs on the ground floor as well as higher up.
