십일 | soft pink in mid-june

[a/n: why do all my stories include some kind of road trip and a 1980's volkswagen caravan]

jisungs low snuggles filled the small caravan as it pulled steadily onto the road with a slight heave. the low whirring of the engine masked minhos light scoffs as jisung dosed lovingly into his shoulder as they stayed inseparable on the cozy sofa.

"how is he already asleep?" the smiley maknae giggled, staring intently at a weary jisung.

"we had a late night yesterday" minho muttered as he cleared his throat of fresh car fumes

Hyunjin cooed teasingly from behind.

"yah! you dirty little shit" minho fought back, covering jeongins ears just as he said 'shit'

"can yall shut it back there, im driving" chan complained, making jeongin bound up at the sound of his voice to go sit up front with the elder.

The journey to the neighboring city was around three hours in a small-ish caravan, there isn't much to do. The group had to occupy themselves somehow but with hyunjin engrossed in his map, planning routes and marking food places off the internet, jisung asleep like a log and chan focusing on the road, minho and jeongin ended up conversing together for most of the time, hyunjin occasionally chiming in the ride was pretty boring nevertheless.

After about three hours the boys made their first stop in a small local village in Bucheon. Chan came round the vehicle to physically detach jisung from minhos bicep but once they stepped into the small dusty car park and had a chance to catch some fresh country air they ventured out into bustling markets, busy canal streets and local areas.

As they neared closer to the main roads hyunjin gathered everyone quietly into a small group and handed out reference photos of seungmin. The kind of photos people use for a lost pet. The group split up around the busy street in designated pairs and hyunjin on his own. Each of them spent the day peeping their heads into shops and asking startled strangers in streets if they had seen a certain brunette boy as they held up the photo of the raven boys beloved but they were often let down or returned with meek head shakes.

Throughout the expedition, tears were stinging his eyes but he kept a brave face on and stayed positive throughout because he was determined not to give up.

[time skip] The team sat slumped and exhausted outside a local cafe. it was rimmed in a soft pink and held a sickly aura about it. it was mid-June and even a few hours of strolling in the light of day wore them out to the max but they decided to carry on looking until evening.

the journey back to the caravan was very quiet with the occasional sniffle as it was a cold night, regardless of the season. with the wind howling in their ears and the loud streets teeming with life, the teens decided to look in a busy side road. people around them were sharing drinks and talking loudly outside overflowing shops. the red street lights glowed down on the gritted road as they made their way into a small bakery.

fluffy cakes and pastel treats lined the shop window and huunjin couldn't help but laugh to himself as he remembered how big of a sweet tooth seungmin had. Unfortunately he was snapped out of his lustful mindset at the sound of jisung and jeongin squealing over cupcakes and running round looking at the glittery delicacy's.
the raven haired left chan and minho to deal with the others as he went to the counter in hopes of finding any trails of seungmin.

"hi my name is hwang hyunjin, i'm looking for a close friend of mine called kim seungmin. he's a little shorter than me and has dark reddish hair. he has sparkly light eyes and cross dresses. has he come by here at all in the past couple days?"

"actually yes i think i have, he mentioned he was on an adventure and bought a cupcake to honour his choices" the petit lady behind the marble counter top said with a slight chuckle

"oh is that so" the boy asked under his breath, squeezing the lipgloss tube in his pocket, "did he tell you where he was going next"

"he mentioned somewhere called Siheung i think, good luck finding him" she smiled and hyunjin thanked her as he gingerly walked to the group. chan drove 20 minutes and found a small cheap place to stay for the night.

For the rest of the night, the six teens settled in a b&b near by. the room was cozy with a cream carpet and a small bathroom. they all slept soundly ready for an early drive out to the next stop tomorrow morning.
