The Palm of a Tiny Hand
Fireflies festival
Nichkhun gave him the most incredulous look ever and Taecyeon couldn’t help but giggles a little. Patting the other boy’s messy spikes playfully . It seems so weird that after just 8 month of timid friendship they’ve grown so close. Perhaps living right next door to each other helps.
“Taec ! Don’t disrepect your hyung ! Now tell me !” Nichkhun shoved his hand away.
“I’m not telling you ! And we’re the same age silly”
“But I am still older than yo-”
“-by half a year blah blah but I am still taller than yo-”
“-by 2 and a half inch blah blah”
Another laughter erupted before Taec settled down and raised his hands in surrender against the pursed lip of his hyung.
“It’s a tradition around here, I think we stole it from somewhere but we does it by catching fireflies and then put them in a bottle”
“That’s cruel !” Nichkhun interrupted
“We let them out later ! And then we hangs the bottles upon the big tree and dance and stuff underneath you know ? It’s so much fun” he continued excitedly.
“Oooooh, isn’t this just like an excuse to party ?” the elder squints his eyes.
“Well no, it’s….” Taecyeon paused
“….it’s what ?” the other pressed
“arghhh it’s nothing”
“No, don’t you ‘It’s nothing’ me!”
“Okay okay fine, they say that…that you’d find your true love if both of you are present underneath the tree…and stuff, it‘s like,…intensify the connection between the two”
“How will that happen ?” another incredulous look was shot. “I mean there are tons of people in this world”
“Fate, I guess…” Taec interrupted.
Well maybe it was also fate that they’re now lost too.
“Taecyeon ! We’re so lost !! I mean not even a bit lost, so lost !” Nichkhun shoved the taller boy a bit.
“I’m sorry !” Taecyeon pouted.
Really how was he supposed to know that his genius shortcut from the big tree returning home was doomed to led them astray for more than 30 minutes ? His stomach growled silently, maybe it was not a good thing to skip dinner for funs and games when you are indeed of food constantly.
“You know, beside this part, the night have been great” Nichkhun’s voice came a short distance behind him.
He turned around and barely made out the shape of his hung’s form. He smiled a goofy smile regardless.
“I’m glad” he beamed.
“Thankyou”
“Huh ?”
“For taking me, dummy”
“Oh right, ha ha yeah, sure”
There as an uncomfortable silence after. They didn’t look at one another mainly because they can’t see each other’s expression but there was also a foreign feeling raining down upon them. It was odd.
They made their way down the small narrowed path the sky darkens ever more. Taecyeon didn’t think it was possible. The wind blew harshly and he shivers a little, wearing only a tank top and shorts. Then, it got so dark that it seems that the trail disappeared beneath his feet and he was scared, really, what kid wouldn‘t be. Well it seem Nichkhun was fine because he was now leading.
“H-hyung! Stop walking so fast!” he complained as he struggled to keep up.
Suddenly, suddenly a branch reached out of nowhere and tripped him! No, he didn’t fall because he was a clumsy little giant! Well he fell anyways, on his butt, with a loud thump.
“Aish babo, Taecyeon ah, watch where you are going” Nickhun was by his side within second trying to help him up. But he just shrugged his hung’s arm off, eyes watering.
“Y-you” sniff “ w-wouldn’t wait for me” sniff “it’s your fault !”
A sigh and light chuckle later. Taecyeon felt his hand being tugged upward by an even smaller hand.
“Come on let’s get home” He didn’t need to see to know that his hyung’s face was lighten with a warm smile, in which prompts his own silly one.
They walked together in silence, but for some reason the air had been lifted quite a bit and it was undeniably lighter. Taecyeon soon spotted the open field with the big tree. The fireflies were still lighting up the space and the road home beautifully.
“Yes !! Yay !” he cheered, they may have walked in circle but at least they could take the safe route now.
As he was about to move ahead and lead again when the hand holding his own squeezed tight.
“Let’s not rush” was the only answer he received.
Taecyeon was only dumbfounded for a split second before squeezing Nichkhun’s hand with is own. They walked home together sedately but with unsaid joy. Taecyeon couldn’t help but feel something more from their moment alone and it confuses him, maybe that’d cause more troubles later. But right now he couldn’t care less. He felt the warm hand’s fingers entwined with his own as the fireflies swirls across the night sky. Lighting up the delicate landscape.
