"Zeno?"
The said man blinks before a big and bright smile appears on his face.
"Yayyy! It's (Y/n)!"
He shouts with glee, arms wrapping around your form.
"I've finally caught you!"
Zeno pulls away and holds your hand then all of a sudden, he starts running.
You let yourself get dragged. You both soon passed by the others but you didn't have the chance to say anything to them as Zeno seemed to speed up.
"Well, this game was worth a try."
Yun spoke while they all stared at you and Zeno's running form. They could practically see some sparkling things floating around the guy.
"Game over to us then."
Jaeha said with a sigh through his nose as he smiled.
Hak looks at Kija from the corner of his eyes.
"Come on now, White snake."
He spoke, hand reaching to grab his shoulder.
"Don't cry or you'll make them too."
Hak jokes lightly before walking away. He was the first to leave the others.
"I'll go back to prepare dinner."
Yun says as he turned on his heel and waved his hand.
"See you guys back at the house."
After seeing Yun leave, Shin-ah turns his head to look at Kija.
"Don't cry, Hakuryuu..."
Was all he said, hoping to comfort him before also departing.
"Don't cry too much that it'll make your eyes puffy. You'll make (Y/n) worry."
Jaeha pats his back with a sympathetic smile on his face. Kija nods his head with a sniffle.

Feeling a pair of arms hug your waist from behind, you let out a hum.
"I like you, (Y/n)."
He softly confessed, his forehead resting on her shoulder.
"I've been wanting to tell you this for decades, but you suddenly decided to leave..."
When you turned to get a look at his face, one of his arms slipped from your waist to caress your cheek.
"I've always imagined the day where I get to propose to you..."
Zeno smiles, one that was so tender that it melted your heart.
"Will you marry me, (Y/n)?"
"Yeah!"
You answered on the spot without a moment of hesitation due to his face and tone of voice. It caught him off guard, only a tad bit.
Zeno laughs heartily before tackling you into a tight hug. You both fell backwards into the flowery field.
You held Zeno as you let yourself be the one to fall on the ground. It was your duty to protect him and the other dragons after all.
"Oh! Sorry, (Y/n)! Are you hurt?"
He quickly asked after coming to a realization. He was too overjoyed at the idea of spending a life as a married couple with you.
You looked at him before flashing a bright smile with a laugh that sounded so sweet to his ears.
"It'll take more than being tackled in a hug to the ground to cause me pain."
You pull Zeno in back for a hug. He listens to the sound of your heartbeat. He likes it. Everything in this moment.
"I love you."
You smile and kiss the crown of his head.
"I love you, too, my golden dragon."
Zeno takes your hand to hold. He intertwines them and admires the sight of being like this with you.
"We still have a lot of catching to do, right? So many stories to tell."
You hum in response, your gaze focused on the night sky, watching the stars shine bright.
"But there's no need to rush."
You say while he moves to lay down next to you so he could admire the look on your face and savor the tenderness in them, to which was specifically directed at him.
"We have all the time in the world to tell them to each other."
He nods his head, his smile widening as he looked at you with such warmth and love.
He brings your intertwined hand close to his lips, kissing yours.
"Make sure to live long this time, (Y/n)."
He said as he rest the back of your hand on his cheek.
"With me."
"I promise, Zeno."
