Forbidden forest • Yoonmin •

Глава шестнадцатая

"So, how far have you been from your district?" Yoongi asked, looking around the unfamiliar grounds, praying that they weren't lost.
"Um, not that far actually. Although I have been to the main MCA* headquarters, and it is in Greenland!" Jimin gushed, "It's soo beautiful there! I wish I would've been assigned a village there.. although I have warmed up to this place, so I'm perfectly content and wouldn't trade it for other districts."
"I see," hummed the older.

They were walking along a faint forest trail, the trees becoming more scarce until they reached a beautiful lake. The time was nearing sunset, and the pinky sky with cotton candy clouds reflected from the still water, as though in a mirror. The lake wasn't big, but crystal clear. And while the reflecting sky was gorgeous, as you came closer you could see the deep end with all the rocks and tiny fish. The nimble goldfish played tag underwater and their scales reflected the few sun rays that crept in, seemed to ignite the lake from within. Truly a breath hitching sight.

Yoongi was amazed but scoffed at the cliche date place.
"What's funny? I find this place out of this world! The trees surrounding us make me feel secluded from the rest of the world.. Like our own secret paradise.." the fairy sighed dreamily.
"My grandma has no creativity," the older chuckled, and waved it off seeing the latter's confused expression, "Never mind, let's go sit under that weeping willow."

And indeed, there was one right near the lake (eg- pic above).
The blonde boy screeched excitedly and scrambled to the tree. It was massive. Green branches drooped until the ground, hiding them if they would go inside. Yoongi followed, admiring the beauty of the scenery. He moved aside the branches to reveal the younger sitting in a hammock, dangling his legs.
"Yoongii! I'm here," he waved, rocking in the hammock.
The latter was stunned, "what are you doing? And where did you find that?"
"It was here when I came! It's so cool!" Jimin giggled and almost flew off the hammock from leaning back so suddenly.

"You're acting as if it's your first time seeing one," the blue-haired retorted, placing the grocery bag next to the tree trunk. He looked up to see two faint initials in a heart engraved in the bark. He then traced his fingers over it and smiled fondly. It was his grandparents' doing. His grandma told him the story yesterday and it seemed that it still remained.

"Yoongi! When can we eat?" The fairy interrupted Yoongi's thoughts, "I'm hungry."
A grin plastered on his face at Jimin's childlike behavior, "Alright then, come down." He called and instantly regretted it, seeing as the younger jumped from the high place the hammock was hung. Yoongi grabbed his chest and closed his eyes dramatically, "Never do that again, that was very dangerous,"

Rolling his eyes playfully, the blonde grabbed Yoongi by the shoulders and shook him gently, "Don't worry about me, nothing will happen. I might not look that, but I'm well trained for situations like this. I've been through worse at the training camp for commanders." The blue-haired grinned widely in response. Jimin was too cute for his own good.
"Come on, lets eat." He announced, reaching for the bag and grabbing the sandwiches and cider.

They both sat under the willow and indulged in their food, the younger praising it after every bite. He was especially fascinated by potato chips and chocolate, in love with the flavour and the texture. Yoongi just smiled, amused at the fairy's silliness.

The time was nearing golden hour, and the soft sun rays brushed the boys' skin, giving them a gentle glow. You could see the orange globe in the reflection of the water, with ripples carrying them to the banks. Though entranced by the sight, the blue-haired spared a glance at the blonde. His pure expression of awe stirred something warm in Yoongi's stomach. Mouth slightly agape and eyes glued to the view, Jimin didn't notice the approaching older. Taking the opportunity, Yoongi placed a delicate lingering kiss on the latter's temple.

Feeling the soft touch, the younger faced him, a surprised expression grazing his features. He proceeded to then shine the brightest smile the blue-haired has ever seen in his life. The boy in front of him was absolutely stunning. When did he become so attracted to him? Responding with an equally happy grin, Yoongi placed his hands on the blonde's face and stared into his eyes. The way they crinkled and left the older breathless was beyond him.

High on feelings of pure bliss, he leaned in and kissed Jimin on the nose. Earning a giggle, he then kissed him once on both of his cheeks. The fairy pouted. Done with his teasing, he snaked his hands in Yoongi's hair and pulled him into a sweet liplock. Both smiling into each other's lips, the situation couldn't be more pure and gentle. After a long, yet short time they pulled away. Yoongi cooed at the latter's adorableness and fondly ruffled his golden locks.
The younger felt his cheeks heating up, and hid his face the the other's chest.

"You make me feel so safe Yoongi," me mumbled into the fabric of the shirt, "I'm really glad I met you."
"I'm really glad as well," the blue-haired whispered and embraced him tighter.

Them, sitting there in a comfortable silence and a warm hug made the older realise - he liked him. Hell, make even loved. Either way, he wanted to protect the little ball of happiness in his arms from all the evil in the world forever.
Was it too soon to feel these emotions? Probably. But Yoongi didn't regret them once.

Jimin had similar thoughts. He felt very attached to the latter. Secure in his loving embrace, he wanted to feel this way for eternities, and reciprocate the feelings with as much love and intensity as he could. Although not now. The moment was incredibly perfect, and no other words were needed to express the way they felt. Whispering sweet nothings to each other and exchanging sweet little kisses, the time flew by fast. Drunk on love, they both left home that day with the immense feeling of joy and tranquility.

MCA stands for Magical Creature Association.
