Hyunjoong closed his eyes, feeling the soft breeze caressing his face and the scent of flowers drifting into his nostrils. He smiled as he breathed in the fresh air, the musky air instantly calming him like no other.
“Hyunjoong.”
He felt - rather than heard - someone calling him. Grinning, he turned around, beckoning that special person over. Lightly, he padded through the supple grass with a dainty jump in every step, his smile for him so pure and innocent that Hyunjoong thought he looked like an angel. When he reached him, the elder stretched his arms across, grabbing his hand gently and intertwining them.
“What are you doing?” The wind whispered the younger’s question.
“I was relaxing. Nature always has a way to help you de-stress,” he replied as he closed his eyes again and gave himself to the scenery.
He stood still, listening to the vicinity around them intently and feeling the warmth his surroundings gave. The air buzzed with activity - for they were in a park - yet Hyunjoong drowned out the shouting and yelping of the people and concentrated on the sole stupendous sound of nature. His companion smiled as he followed his actions, breathing in the warm afternoon air and trying his best to understand what his boyfriend was trying to achieve.
“I think I feel it.”
Hyunjoong beamed, his light brown orbs looking down at him attentively. Like many other times, he took in his boyfriend’s distinct features slowly - his beautifully arched eyebrows, his small but cute nose, his plump and kissable lips, and his refined jaw line - and wondered for the umpteenth time how he managed to get a hold on him. Granted, he was far from perfect, but to him he’s all he could ever wish for; and for that, he was flawless to him.
“No, I’m not,” he protested, even though Hyunjoong didn’t say a thing.
“I can’t speak.”
“You say it best, when you say nothing at all,” he sang quietly, his gaze never leaving the younger. “You and I both know I don’t need to hear you aloud - I can feel it perfectly fine. Your soft melodious voice inside my heart is enough to make me understand and I like it that way.”
“But Hyunjoong...”
“You can speak right to my heart, and that’s all I ever need; as cheesy as that sounds.”
Kyujong smiled, letting the wind settle between them soothingly. He returned to admiring the scenery and hearing the bustle of people around him, no longer trying to listen for the unique sounds of nature. The image of everything he heard formed a larger picture, and he was delighted to keep it as a memory.
“Kyujongie,” Hyunjoong breathed in his ear.
He looked up immediately, cocking his head to a side with a puzzled expression. His soulful, doe-like eyes pierced into Hyunjoong’s soul, forcing him to catch his breath. His eyes promised of nothing but his trust he had in him and his reliance on him - and it was all he needed to know he’d never leave; his kind and gentle boyfriend would never leave him behind.
“I love you.”
Kyujong smiled angelically, his mouth forming the four simple words though not a sound could be heard. However, he knew he heard him loud and clear, for their hearts were adjoined and would never be apart...
“I love you, too.”
