and we're lucky

here with me

as the night moves along, the families that flew kites have decided to call it a night and the pair of buskers move on to a different part of the park, subtracting from the scene. but the pair of wandering souls don't intend to move along as they immerse themselves in their own little world until the next few hours.

people watching. it was nice just watching the remaining people around them as they sip their beers together in comfortable silence.

"it's nice like this."

"like what?"

seungwan starts lying down on her back, finishing her fourth can of beer, while he hasn't even finished his first one yet.

"like this. no cameras. you and me, in the midst of people doing their own thing like we are. being out in the open and just actually being free for once."

seungwan acknowledges hoseok's sentiments with a small chuckle.

"it's nice like this too." she says with a yawn.

"like what?" he yawns as well and he earns a glare from his small friend because of it. he wasn't bothered by it the least bit, in fact, he was smiling softly at her patting the crown of her head.

"the quietness of all this. just the two of us, where people actually don't care about us too much for once. not having to meet anyone's expectations even just for a night. where we can't hear from people that we need to be happy all the time."

hoseok looks at her. feels that he should let her go on, so he waits for a few seconds. but what she said next didn't add up to what her mouth spilled out earlier.

"soooyeah, you still drinking these?" her words are close to slurring as she reaches for her fifth beer can.

"yah, wh-are--are you drunk already?" hoseok says alarmedly as he tries to take the beer away from her.

she slaps his hand away and pouts at him, "pfft, iii'm not."

"wah, wow, what's this? are you actually expecting me to take care of you?"

"and why-ie not? aren't you my oppa by three days? i-ie think it's time you start acting like-a one!"

hoseok pauses and mulls over her drunken words and serious expression.

"wow, am i lucky enough to be a witness to this for the second time tonight? wendy of red velvet, A K A, the aegyo fail master actually doing an aegyo perfectly when she's drunk and even calling me oppa on top of that? oh god, i've been blessed."

he clutches at his heart as he's trying to relate to her inebriated self but doesn't miss the chance to mean what he says. his heart caught on to the 'oppa' he was sure he'd never hear from her in his lifetime, but he actually did.

"hey, i'm not an eggyolk fail master. i cook eggs really well." she says in full english while frowning at hoseok.

eggyolks and aegyo.

he loses himself in hysteric wonderment at her mindlessness ultimately falling on his back.

seungwan glares at him now speaking in their native langauge.

"yah, what did i say? why are you laughing?"

"oh, seungwan, i never thought you'd be this adorable!"

"why-ie? and why are you still laughing?"

"because you're adorable! that's why!" he wheezes and wipes the joyous tears from his eyes.
