"She- She's a phoenix" said Jeno in awe. He had never seen one in person, he heard legends, he knew they held grate power, and he knew Jaemin wasn't here for the power, he knew Jaemin was being sincere.
"Yeah... she is... you need to promise you won't say anything" said Jaemin. "You know what can happen" he added.
"I won't, don't worry" Jeno reassured. He wouldn't give her away. She was a expensive creature, yes, but she wasn't an object, she was a leaving thing just like Jaemin and he was, and he could tell Jaemin cared deeply about her.
"so... hey, I'm HeeSook" she presented herself bowing awkwardly. The three went behind the tree, the sitting place of Jaemin and HeeSook, and sar down.
"And I'm Jeno, sorry for spying you" Jeno said laughing awkwardly. "I was just worried for your boyfriend here" he said, wanting to tease them both.
"boy what now?" she asked, her pale cheeks reddening. Jeno snickered evilly, ready time tease his best friend.
"I- what? Jeno, pff, don't overthink" said Jaemin, also blushing a deep red. Jeno snored trying to keep his laughing to himself.
"what was that noice?" asked HeeSook laughing. "I swear you sounded like a water-pig" she said laughing.
"what the- water pig?" asked Jeno, confused.
"see Jeno, she leaves in a world totally different from ours" explained Jaemin. "although i don't know what is a water pig either" the prince admitted.
"It's a pig with fins, they live in the rivers" she explained. "And they sound totally like what Jeno did when they go out to take air" she said magui g a bit.
"That's interesting" said Jeno. "Our pigs have hooves" he said simply.
"Interesting" she answered.
"So, where do you live?" Jeno asked. "because i swear never in my life I had seen a pig with fins" he said.
"In the depths of the forest" she answers simply.
"that totally doesn't sound scary" said Jeno.
"It's not, don't worry" reassured Jaemin. "Unless Minhyun, a mage that protects that part of the forest, happens to see us and turn us into donkeys" said Jaemin shrugging.
"oh, well, that's better, I guess" Jeno said, not really convinced.
Jaemin retook the conversation with HeeSook, Jeno joined in with a comment or two, but he just watch them interact. He could easily tell that Jaemin felt something for her, the way he looked at her, the way he laughed, he smiled, it was all so lovingly. Something he had never seen him do with anyone, not even with Princess YuLin, who he claimed he really liked just only a year ago. Jeno smiled, knowing that his best friend was happy, and hoping nothing happened to her, or Jaemin would never be the same again.
