Chapter Twenty Seven

"You ready to shift and eat?" Hongjoong asks Jongho through their link.

Jongho nods, following Hongjoong behind a cluster of trees so they can shift and cloth themselves, "What? You don't wanna devour everything we brought like pigs in front of everyone?" Jongho laughs, smirking towards Hongjoong.

Hongjoong huffs and goes through the woods a short way to a cliff they discovered right before shifting, "I wouldn't mind either way."

Hongjoong sits down right on the edge, looking out at the beautiful scenery that lays out in front of them. Incredibly lush forestry and land spans out as far as the eye can see and the bright blue sky ridden from clouds shines down nicely onto the greenery, giving it a more lifeful look.

"It's gorgeous out here, wow. I never knew a place like this existed among us," Hongjoong chuckles, pulling out the fresh meat sandwiches they packed before heading out that morning, "Here," he added, handing Jongho his sandwich as he sat down next to him.

Jongho hums, taking the sandwich. He looks down at it before taking a bite, noticing how Hongjoong added extra meat onto his like he always liked and a smirk crosses his lips, "It's alright."

"Alright?!" Hongjoong gasps, shoving his shoulder in a playful way.

Jongho narrows his eyes, "Hey! We're too high up to be doing that shit," he curses, scoffing and turning back to focus on eating his sandwich.

Hongjoong shakes his head and goes to eat his as well, eyes drifting over to Jongho mowing through his, "You're welcome, by the way."

"Yeah, yeah, thank you," Jongho mumbles, finishing up his sandwich.

Hongjoong laughs, lifting his knees up to his chest so he can rest his chin on them, "I added extra just like you like," he smiles over at him, his eyes falling on Jongho's lips. Hongjoong's mind starts to go south, but is stopped by the amount of crumbs left on Jongho's face.

Jongho's cheeks go rosy, "I know... I didn't think you would remember," he hums, not noticing Hongjoong and his hand getting closer to him and his face.

Hongjoong crawls over to Jongho on his knees and lifts his hand to his face, brushing the crumbs off of his mouth.

"Of course I would remember."

Jongho flinches at the sudden touch, moving his head to look, only to be face-to-face with Hongjoong. His face visibly gets even more red, at a loss for words when an innocent hand brushing crumbs off becomes a soft caress of Jongho's cheek, drawing him in for more.

Hongjoong smiles and gets closer, their lips mere millimeters away from meeting.

"Hey, can we eat with you guys--?"
