As they drove out of the airport zone, Jimin could read the name of the city they had landed in.

Signs showed it over and over again.

"Gwangju," he said out loud. "Can you tell me where we are going to now?" he asked in a hopeful tone.

"Not yet, sweetie," Hae Wong teased again with his signature grin. "We still have some riding to go through before we're getting there."

Jimin was really excited over the trip now, but it wasn't the main reason for his joyful, jiggy mood.

Hae Wong had indeed stuck to his promise and had left his laptop on the plane.

Thus, to Jimin's total content, they could now fully chat together, their fingers intertwined, Jimin cuddling against his lover's chest, his head resting on his muscular but tender shoulder, exchanging sweet pecks from time to time, discussing their past week's schedule with one another.

And just that was already the best time they had had over the last weeks, and it was enough to make Jimin completely happy.

When the shiny limo halted to a stop half an hour later, and they got out of the car, the student finally discovered his man's plan.

Lots of people were bustling around, mostly families, holding hands and laughing, kids running all around and whining in excitement, fathers holding food baskets with proud faces, mothers carrying toys and clothes or blankets with fond expressions.

All the cheerful sounds and activities of a fair filled the atmosphere around them.

"Welcome to Hampyeong butterflies festival!" Hae Wong announced triumphantly, waiting for his angel's reaction, but contradictorily enough also starting to show some signs of nervousness.

"Butterflies?!?" Jimin squealed happily. "I love it!!!" he cried out as he fully rejoiced and clapped his hands, then jumped around a few bounces, grinning widely at his man, who felt delighted that he had already reached part of his goal.

Soon, shoulder to shoulder, they strolled throughout the fair and its various parts, discovering environmental art pieces, all kinds of bugs and caterpillars, cuddling the cute farm animals within the small fenced squares.

"Look at those cute little bunnies!!" Jimin exclaimed, and he rushed to hold one in his hands, his eyes sending hearts to the fluff ball he held, caressed and pecked.

"I like those feathery little chicks better," Hae Wong replied, holding one in his palm and surprisingly pecking it too on its tiny little head. "Look at this one! It's so soft!"

"Don't move!" the student ordered as he took his cellphone out "I want to take a picture, you're so cute!" his heart melting at the sight.

They wanted to catch those pretty little ducklings too, but they kept on running away from them.

Try hard as they may, they could never reach them, not even a pair of them.

When it happened again with the cute little gray goslings, it had Jimin laugh out loud, but it got Hae Wong growing angry and soon he had them leave the area because he was so upset, nearly stomping away in irk under Jimin's loving and amused gaze.

It soon was time for an early lunch and they decided to taste local beef and vegetables in a humble but delicious restaurant.

Then they walked some more as the blonde announced :

"This is now the most interesting part. And we'll get to see actual butterflies."

The path they were from then evolving on was surrounded by beautiful flowers of all kinds and all colors, and so it was that all around them, magnificent butterflies flew in wonderful arabesques and graceful flourishes.
