Padding downstairs, JungMin poked his head into the dining room, seeing KyuJong, YoungSaeng, and HyungJoon there. He brightened considerably to see his friend up and about. "Hey guys!" He bounced over and took the seat on YoungSaeng's other side.

"Morning," KyuJong smiled.

YoungSaeng looked up to see JungMin and HyunJoong enter the dining room and smiled softly. "Hey, Min," he replied, voice quieter than it had been in some time. He was, however, much more receptive.

HyunJoong smiled, glad to see the two out of KyuJong's room. "Good to see you up."

"Good to be up," YoungSaeng replied, finally pushing his food away.

"Full?" KyuJong rubbed his back lightly.

"'S g'd!" HyungJoon got out, looking like a hamster.

"Morning dears," KyuJong's mother called out of the kitchen.

YoungSaeng nodded his head before chuckling at HyungJoon stuffing his face as usual. "How have you not choked to death yet?" he asked, shaking his head.

HyungJoon's reply wasn't very comprehensible.

"'Yet' is the operating word, and don't be gross," Nicole called as she and HaRa made their way down the stairs. "What was with all the noise? Sounded like someone fell out of bed."

HyungJoon pointed at JungMin and HyunJoong.

HyunJoong blushed as he was pointed to, focusing on the plate of food that KyuJong's mother brought out.

JungMin was ignoring them all as well, stealing half the carrots from one of the dishes.

KyuJong raised an eyebrow at the silence, curious but not going to say anything. "So what's planned for today?" he asked, resting his chin against YoungSaeng's shoulder.

YoungSaeng pushed his plate toward JungMin. He wasn't a big fan of carrots, so there were plenty of them on the plate. "First thing is you finishing your food. I've never been able to eat much to function. You need to, though."

"I ate," KyuJong blinked.

The others took up their own seats around the table as JungMin happily nabbed all YoungSaeng's carrots, nibbling on them.

"You ate just as much as I did," YoungSaeng pointed out, nudging him lightly.

"I'm fine," KyuJong insisted, nudging YoungSaeng back. "I don't have to eat as much as Joonie does."

"Hey!"

Nicole groaned and reached over to hold HyungJoon's jaw closed. "Swallow before you open that mouth again."

"No one eats that much," HyunJoong pointed out with a smirk as the girls laughed and nodded.

"Maybe we can go to the forest today?" HaRa piped up once they'd settled down. "It's really nice, and this time we'll be careful not to get lost."

KyuJong looked to YoungSaeng for his thoughts, still resting his chin on his boyfriend's shoulder.

After a moment of thought, YoungSaeng nodded his head. "Sounds good, though we need to make sure to stay away from the cemetery," he added. It was far too soon to try using his ability since he was still somewhat trapped in the depression.

"We can do that," HaRa smiled, Nicole nodding. "The trees are losing their leaves, and are all in pretty colors, it'll be fun!"

"And we're offering up Joonie as scapegoat to make sure we're not about to fall into a ditch," JungMin piped up far too cheerfully.

HyungJoon stared dryly at JungMin. "You like that idea far too much for my liking..."

"Don't worry Joonie, with all the food you just ate, you'll be cushioned from hurting yourself," the redhead grinned, and shrieked when a roll hit him in the face, hiding behind YoungSaeng.

Jumping slightly at the contact, YoungSaeng quickly relaxed, laughing lightly as JungMin hid.

"Don't waste such good food, Joonie," HaRa laughed as Nicole bopped him on the head.

"Tell him to quit being mean to me," HyungJoon whined, pointing an accusing finger at JungMin as the redhead stuck his tongue out from behind YoungSaeng.

"Oh, real mature, Min," YoungSaeng chuckled as he caught the action out of the corner of his eye.

"And you're too old to whine, Joonie," HyunJoong pointed out.

"I can be as mature as I want," JungMin grinned, still attached to YoungSaeng's back to avoid getting in aiming range again.

HyungJoon started to protest and Nicole stuffed a roll into his mouth to shut him up. "Problem solved."

HyunJoong laughed loudly as HyungJoon brightened up at the roll in his mouth before the older boy turned to look at YoungSaeng. "So are you feeling any better, Saeng?" he asked calmly.

Turning to the eldest, YoungSaeng smiled and nodded his head. "A bit, yeah."

"That's good," JungMin chirped, sitting back down in his seat now that HyungJoon wasn't trying to decapitate him with bread rolls.

KyuJong nodded, smiling. He seemed a lot happier now, JungMin noticed, though there were slight shadows under his eyes.

"Morning," EunAh called, yawning as she appeared at the stairs. Rubbing her eyes as she padded over, she smiled brightly to see YoungSaeng. "Hey oppa."

"Hey, EunAh yah," YoungSaeng greeted with a grin. She really was adorable.

"Sleep well, EunAh?" HyungJoon asked, finally swallowing the large bite of roll.

The entire table watched with amusement as she blinked, did a double take, realized HyungJoon really was talking to her, and turned bright red in the space of a second. "Y-yes, very well!" she stammered, trying not to squeak. "Um, you?" KyuJong hid his attempt not to laugh in YoungSaeng's shoulder.

YoungSaeng coughed in an attempt to hide his opinion on how adorable the girl was in front of her crush.

HyungJoon smiled back, completely oblivious to the reason for the blush. "You okay? You're all red. Are you all right?"

"Yes!" she squeaked. "Um, I'll, just, get my breakfast." And she ran into the kitchen, despite the fact that the food was already all out on the table.

HaRa and Nicole exchanged looks of amusement. "We have our work cut out for us..."

"Whatever gave you that idea?" HaRa said dryly, expression greatly amused by the look of total confusion on HyungJoon's face.

"Someone needs to shove them both into a closet," JungMin whispered into YoungSaeng's ear.

Laughing, YoungSaeng looked at KyuJong. "I'm sure that'll go over well with big brother," he replied to JungMin.

"That's why we need big brother's boyfriend to act as distraction before he kills us all," JungMin bat his eyes at the older boy.

"We'll see," YoungSaeng responded, voice amused.

JungMin pouted at him. "You're going to leave him kill us, you evil person." He sulked in his chair.

KyuJong blinked at them. "What are you two whispering about?"

YoungSaeng smiled at KyuJong. "The crush that your sister has and HyungJoonie's obliviousness," he replied.

"Ah." KyuJong chuckled. "I'm not sure if I should be amused or worried."

EunAh came back out of the kitchen, still burning red, and sat down next to Nicole and HaRa at the other end of the table from HyungJoon.

"Be amused. It's much more fun," HyunJoong pointed out.

"True," KyuJong laughed. EunAh pouted at them, having an idea what they were laughing about.

Finished eating, JungMin bounced to his feet. "Well, if we're going to get lost in the forest, I'm changing into something warm." He went to the stairs and disappeared.

"We're not gonna get lost!" HyungJoon shouted after the redhead before pouting.

"I think we should all get dressed," YoungSaeng suggested. "I don't know about you, but I'm not looking forward to leaving in sweats and a tank top."

"Sounds like a good idea," KyuJong chuckled. "Let's go?" He stood up, gathering his, YoungSaeng's and JungMin's plates to bring into the kitchen.

Nodding, YoungSaeng took the plates of the others who had finished and followed after his lover.

HyunJoong headed upstairs, deciding he'd rather not wait for HyungJoon. When he got to the room, he hesitated before opening the door and walking in.

In the middle of pulling a new sweater over his head, JungMin jumped at the sound of the door opening, getting his head stuck in the turtleneck for a moment before he managed to pull it down. Sneezing at the static, he blinked up at HyunJoong as he finished pushing his arms into the sleeves. "Hello."

HyunJoong smiled at the redhead. "Hey," he responded, stepping in and closing the door behind him. He walked over to his bag and dug through it, pulling out a pair of jeans and a fitted graphic tee, as well as a zip up hoodie. Pausing slightly, he decided to act normal to help them both and began to change.

Finishing pulling on his sweater, JungMin adjusted his gloves and got up to fix the bed from the mess it had been turned into. Normally he wouldn't care, but it was poor thanks to KyuJong's family to leave it like this.

Plus, it gave him an excuse not to look at HyunJoong as the older boy started to change, JungMin turning pink and quickly turning away at a flash of skin at the other's stomach. The random thought of what it might feel like to touch HyunJoong's skin with his bare hands appeared, until JungMin squashed the notion. It was doing nothing other than making him redder, and more depressed, knowing that he couldn't.

While dressing, HyunJoong couldn't stop himself from shooting side-glances at JungMin, watching him make up the bed. He was unable to miss the red tinting JungMin's cheeks, which only brought it to his own.

Once JungMin was finished, and he deemed it was safe enough to turn around, the redhead looked back over at HyunJoong. "We might have to drag Joonie away from the table, I don't think he's ever going to get up here," he smiled a little, shoving his hands into his pockets.

HyunJoong shook his head before carefully taking a seat on the bed, not wanting to mess up JungMin's work. "Maybe we should just leave him here," he suggested jokingly.

"You want him to eat them out of house and home?" JungMin asked, wrinkling his nose with a grin. "Cause that's what's going to happen." He fidgeted a little, not sure what to do. "Do we have to leave tomorrow? It's nice here."

HyunJoong sighed before nodding. "I wish we didn't. Everyone's so much calmer here. It's nice to be able to let go once in a while."

"Think they'll let us come back?" JungMin pouted, shuffling his feet a little as he looked around the room.

"I think so, yes," HyunJoong replied, leaning forward and resting his elbows on his legs. "Maybe we should leave Joonie at home, though."

JungMin snickered. "I think EunAh might not like that." He bounced around the room, all energy again. "We should go on a road trip!"

HyunJoong laughed as JungMin bounced around the room. "And who's gonna drive? I think me and Kyu are the only ones old enough to drive, but I don't have a license and neither does he," HyunJoong pointed out with a smile.

"Then hurry up and get one," JungMin pouted. "Or we can always hijack a car." Bouncing around, he tripped on the edge of the blanket and flopped down onto the bed next to HyunJoong with a yelp.

Smiling brightly at the redhead as he fell next to him, HyunJoong reached out and playfully poked him. "First day on new legs there, Min ah?" he teased.

JungMin rolled over onto his back, pouting at the older boy. "It's the energy spazzes. I can't control it." He slipped off the bed to sit on the floor with an 'oof'.

"Well I suppose we should attempt to find an energy killer for you, hmm? Maybe you can keep HyungJoonie from saying something stupid, or Nicole from fanspazzing over Kyu and Saeng. Those are full time jobs," HyunJoong suggested.

"The only thing that would even remotely help is running laps around the house for three hours," JungMin huffed, already kicking his feet. "And I think Joonie and Nicole are lost causes."

"So what do you normally do then? I mean, do you really run laps for hours?" HyunJoong asked, curious to know a bit more about JungMin.

"Sometimes. Couldn't in the hospital though, we weren't let outside that often. Therefore, power outages and jumping out of windows." JungMin looked up at HyunJoong, resting his head back against the bed. "What else am I supposed to do?"

"Well, you can ask permission to get access to the indoor track. It's not the biggest thing ever, but you can use it and the attached gym to drain some energy. Hell, I'm in there a lot later at night training. I wouldn't particularly mind the company," HyunJoong suggested with a light shrug.

Thinking about that, JungMin grinned after a moment. "That would be fun. How often do you go?" It would definitely help him burn off some energy, if he went often enough.

"I try to go every day but the weekends," HyunJoong explained. "Though if I'm in a bad mood which doesn't happen too often, I'll go to blow off steam."

JungMin grinned. "No wonder you have abs like that," he teased, squirming around on the floor until he could face the older boy more, eyes dancing with mischief. "I'll follow you then."

HyunJoong had to laugh out loud at JungMin's antics. "You are way too cute..." he muttered, blushing when he realized that he had said that aloud. He only hoped JungMin didn't hear it.

The redhead's eyes went wide as saucers, and he blinked owlishly at HyunJoong for a moment, not sure if he'd heard right. After a moment he turned the same color as his hair. "W-What?"

Hearing that JungMin hadn't heard him was a relief as HyunJoong fell back with a loud sigh. He lifted his arms up and formed an 'x'. "Nothing...I didn't say anything. Just mumbling to myself," he got out.

Scrambling up, JungMin pressed his palms down into the bed, leaning forward. "About?" he asked.

Squeaking, the blush deepened. "Nothing!" HyunJoong stated, blush somehow deepening. He really needed to work on forming a better mental filter.

JungMin continued to stare at him for a moment, trying to decide if he'd heard right, before letting it go and standing up straight. "Fine, fine. We should probably go get Joonie now, he's never coming," JungMin pouted, looking back at the door.

HyunJoong slowly sat up and looked at the pout forming on JungMin's face, before he sighed and got to his feet. Opening the door once he reached it, he passed JungMin but paused. "I said you were cute," he murmured before hurrying on ahead.

There was no way that JungMin could have missed the red flooding his cheeks, though.

Staring after him, JungMin was at a total loss for what to say, something that didn't happen too often. Opening and closing his mouth a few times, he swallowed and hurried after HyunJoong when he realized he was about to be left behind, face completely red and not about to turn back anytime soon.

He didn't understand it.

**********************************

Once the dishes were taken care of and he received another hug from the kind woman, YoungSaeng headed into the living room to wait for the others, passing the blushing HyunJoong, followed by the even redder JungMin. He quirked a brow at them, but let it be.

Following after YoungSaeng after a moment talking with his mother, KyuJong blinked at the two as well before heading into the living room. "What's up with HyunJoong and JungMin?" he chuckled, going to sit next to YoungSaeng. "They look like they got major sunburns."

"I'm sure Min'll tell me when he's ready to," YoungSaeng explained before curling his legs up on the couch and resting his head in his lover's lap. After a moment of silence, he spoke up. "Kyu yah, can I ask you a favor...?"

KyuJong blinked. "Of course." He ran his fingers gently through YoungSaeng's hair, looking down at him with a content expression.

"I know that you're worried about me, but please, don't neglect your own health," YoungSaeng pleaded. "You need to sleep and you need to eat. That's all I ask," YoungSaeng stated, looking KyuJong right in the eyes.

A little surprised, KyuJong met YoungSaeng's gaze. "I am eating and sleeping though," he said, framing YoungSaeng's face with one hand. "I'm perfectly fine."

"Kyu, please," YoungSaeng begged. "You're eating as much as I do. You need more than that. I still have to build up to eating that much," he pointed out. Pausing, he decided to go at it from a different angle. "If you get sick from not eating or sleeping enough, how can you help me?" he asked, bringing a hand up to caress KyuJong's cheek.

The time traveler leaned into the hand against his cheek, relaxing at the gentle touch. Biting his lower lip, he thought about that. "I'll always help you," he said quietly, meeting his eyes. "I promised, I'm not going anywhere."

YoungSaeng smiled at the reassurance. "I know, Love," he murmured. "All I ask is that you try...for me," he added softly, guiding KyuJong down toward him, allowing YoungSaeng to brush his lips against those of his lover.

KyuJong's gaze softened, letting YoungSaeng bring him down and returning the butterfly-light kiss. "All right," he whispered against his boyfriend's rose-petal soft lips. "Just for you."

YoungSaeng felt himself relax at KyuJong's words. "Thank you..."

Smiling, KyuJong kissed YoungSaeng again, lingering before straightening. "You dressed warmly enough?" he asked quietly, playing with the younger boy's collar as they waited for the others to reappear.

YoungSaeng nodded his head with a small smile. "I am, yeah...are you?" he asked.

"Yeah," KyuJong chuckled, resuming running his fingers through YoungSaeng's soft hair. "I wonder if it's going to snow soon. Or at least snow for Christmas."

"That'd be nice," YoungSaeng mused, closing his eyes. "I never really got the chance to ever play in the snow..."

"It's fun," KyuJong smiled. "I hope it snows a lot this year. Maybe we could have a giant snowball fight, I know some of the others would definitely not be opposed to it."

"That sounds like fun," YoungSaeng replied with a smile, eyes brighter than they had been since the breakdown.

KyuJong felt his own smile widen at the expression on YoungSaeng's face. "Once we head back inside, umma will make us hot chocolate too. It's really nice." He brushed the hair out of YoungSaeng's face, smoothing it back, and looked up as Nicole and HaRa reappeared first.

Walking into the living room to see YoungSaeng and KyuJong on the couch, Nicole let out a squeal, muffled by both hers and HaRa's hands over her mouth. It was so good to see the two acting far more normal so soon after the incident the day before.

KyuJong bit back a laugh as HaRa all but jumped to cover the older girl's mouth. "I dare you to go a day without squealing," he teased, eyes dancing.

"That's not fair, you'd win in the first ten minutes," HaRa laughed, removing her hands once the coast was clear.

Nicole all but huffed, arms on her hips and pout well in place. "I could totally win that bet if you two weren't so damned adorable," she muttered.

"So it's our fault now?" KyuJong chuckled, looking down at YoungSaeng with amusement. "Apparently we're not allowed to be 'adorable'."

"Well then, if that's the case..." YoungSaeng mused, slowly sitting up, but not before he gave KyuJong a quick kiss. To Nicole, he managed a smile. "Your time starts now if you think you're up to it."

The girl puffed out her cheeks. "I'm so up to it!" She crossed her arms in front of her chest in determination.

KyuJong was smiling widely at the interaction, but then he blinked. "Wait, does that mean we can't act cute for a day?"

It may not have been as bold a move as he may have done just a day or two earlier, but YoungSaeng smiled, eyes with a hint of mischief, and kissed his lover again, much more firmly this time. "I said cute. I'm sure there are other ways to act, yes?" he murmured against his lips.

Blinking at the action, KyuJong felt his lips curl upwards as he wrapped one arm around YoungSaeng's waist. "Definitely," he breathed, still tasting YoungSaeng on his lips.

"...Uh...” HaRa started, and KyuJong glanced towards them to see Nicole the same color as JungMin's hair, perhaps a shade towards purple.

Laughing quietly, YoungSaeng pulled back, yet still remained in KyuJong's arms, the one place he always felt the most comfortable.

The missing three finally appeared. HyungJoon paused, blinking for a moment as he looked at Nicole, and poked one cheek. "...Is she breathing?"

Nicole rounded on him and started thwacking him off the head in rapid succession as HaRa explained the bet that had just started, ignoring HyungJoon's dying shrieks.

Hearing about the bet, HyunJoong cracked up. "Oh, this is priceless!" he stated before turning and running right back upstairs. A short time later, he returned with a small camcorder. Smiling brightly, he turned it on and directed it toward Nicole.

A moment later he yelped and ran behind JungMin when the girl turned her glare-which was weak due to the deep blush on her cheeks-onto him.

JungMin blinked owlishly, looking over his shoulder at HyunJoong. After a moment he gave a wide, mischievous grin. "Come on, you can't film her from over there!" And he half-turned to wrap his arms around HyunJoong's waist, spinning the older boy around in front of him and pushing him towards Nicole.

KyuJong couldn't even watch the chaos they had caused, doubled-over with his head against YoungSaeng's leg as he laughed until he couldn't breathe.

HyunJoong shouted as he was grabbed and turned around before being shoved toward Nicole, who looked ready to break his camera. Braking quickly, he turned around and ducked under JungMin's held extended arm. He yelped when he accidentally hit JungMin's bare wrist, but continued to hide behind the redhead.

Inhaling sharply at the yelp, JungMin would have broken away except that now his arms were all twisted around. Somehow his feet became tangled up with HyunJoong's, and when he tried to get away he ended up sprawled on his back with a yelp of his own.

HyunJoong was all flailing limbs when JungMin's legs got tangled with his. Following the redhead to the ground, he let out a soft oof, muffled by JungMin's shirt.

Releasing a grunt at the sudden weight, JungMin looked down at HyunJoong on top of him with his face shushed against the redhead's chest, and immediately turned the same color as his hair.

Nicole released a squeak equivalent to the sound of a dying mouse before clamping both hands over her mouth.

YoungSaeng watched the two before turning toward KyuJong. "Well I think I know why they were so red now..." he mused, laughing as HyunJoong scrambled off the redhead.

JungMin quickly got back to his feet as well, nearly wiping out again in his haste.

"She squealed!" HyungJoon announced, pointing at Nicole.

"I did not!" she whined, hitting him repeatedly.

"We all heard you!" He yelped when he was hit and ran to hide behind EunAh, who had chosen that moment to see what all the commotion was about.

YoungSaeng sighed before raising a hand to get attention. "I'll let that pass since it was wholly unexpected," he decided, smiling at the grateful look in the girl's eyes.

"She still squealed," HyungJoon muttered from behind EunAh, the young girl having turned bright red again with an expression of complete confusion.

KyuJong was finally able to sit up again, holding his side. He'd laughed too hard.

YoungSaeng looked back at KyuJong. "You okay over there?" he asked with a grin. The environment he was currently in was so bright that he couldn't help but feel the same.

"Y-yeah," the time traveler breathed unevenly, still grinning. "I think...I might have broken something." One look at the tomato his sister had turned into and the way HyungJoon was now blinking owlishly at her in concern and KyuJong was gone again, collapsed in YoungSaeng's lap and shaking.

About ready to follow his lover into hysterics, YoungSaeng ran a hand through KyuJong's hair in warning before slowly standing. "I think now would be a good time to leave. I'd rather my boyfriend not faint from lack of air."

KyuJong nodded past the laughter, standing along with YoungSaeng and holding on to YoungSaeng's sleeve for support.

"Yes, let's go," Nicole chirped, then snatched HyunJoong's camcorder and ran towards the back door with it.

"Yah!" HyunJoong yelled, scrambling to his feet and chasing after the girl. The loud thud followed by the shriek of laughter from Nicole had YoungSaeng laughing.

The sound of his boyfriend's laughter brought more from KyuJong, the time traveler looking at YoungSaeng with a wide smile. He was getting better again. "Let's go before they tear each other to pieces," he chuckled, wrapping one arm around YoungSaeng's waist.

JungMin ran to see who was winning the wrestling match, HyungJoon flashing a smile at EunAh before following and leaving the girl looking very flustered.

HyunJoong had only just sat up, rubbing his forehead as he saw JungMin run in. Pulling himself to his feet, he smiled sheepishly. "The door pulls open, by the way...future reference," he mumbled.

Blinking, JungMin snorted before starting to laugh. "Like the bedroom door upstairs does?" he teased, walking over and tugging down his sleeve before offering a gloved hand. "You didn't break the camcorder, did you? Or your nose?"

Pouting slightly at the reminder, HyunJoong took JungMin's hand and let him help him to his feet. "The camera's fine and so is my nose, though my pride sure took the brunt of the hit."

"I wish I could have seen that," JungMin snickered, shaking his head. He looked up as the others appeared, before opening the door properly and tugging HyunJoong outside, eager to get moving. "Let's go let's go!"

HyunJoong nearly fell when he was suddenly pulled out the door, but quickly caught his footing. "J-JungMin ah, how about waiting for them to get their jackets? And I really would have loved to get mine, too," he stuttered, hit by the chill in the air but glad to have his hoodie, which fought back some of the bite.

"Ah," JungMin blinked, pausing at the edge of the porch. "Right." And he let go of HyunJoong to jump back inside, reappearing half a second later with HyunJoong's coat and his own. "Here you go!" He draped HyunJoong's around his shoulders and jumped off the porch with a whoop.

HyunJoong watched JungMin with more than a little amusement before slipping his arms into the sleeves of his jacket, sighing at the newfound warmth. Easily made cold, HyunJoong was pleasantly surprised when he found the coat on a shopping trip a few months earlier. "Try not to leave us behind, okay?" he chuckled as JungMin began to release some of the pent-up energy.

"I'll come back if I do," JungMin chirped, spinning himself around while he waited for the others to appear. Nicole and HaRa came out next, followed by HyungJoon.

KyuJong picked YoungSaeng's jacket off the hangar and handed it to him, looking outside at the others. "This will be interesting," he chuckled, shaking his head as he pulled on his own jacket.

"Sweetie," his mom called, and appeared with his camera. KyuJong brightened and took it from her, hanging it around his neck.

Seeing the camera, YoungSaeng perked up. It had been years since he'd last held a camera. "When we get to wherever we're going, can I take a few pictures?" he asked KyuJong, sinking into the warmth of his jacket.

"Of course," KyuJong grinned. "You can carry it if you want, I just want a picture of outside first." Leaning in, he kissed YoungSaeng's lips lightly before taking his hand and bringing him outside, joining the others.

"Let's go!" JungMin exclaimed, seeing them. KyuJong shook his head in amusement at how the redhead was practically running in place before he brought the camera up, opening it and waiting for it to load before snapping a picture of the forest and field behind his house. Smiling, he unwrapped the camera from his neck and offered it to YoungSaeng.

Smiling at the offer, YoungSaeng accepted the camera, turning it over in his hands. It was a good brand; he'd had an earlier model of the same camera, in fact. Playing with a few of the settings, he lifted the camera and aimed it at the redhead, clicking a few pictures as he began tormenting HyunJoong again.

After a handful of shots, he accessed the pictures and scrolled through them, amused by the flipbook effect of them.

Watching YoungSaeng with amusement, KyuJong wrapped his arm around YoungSaeng's waist. "Let's walk while you take pictures, before JungMin bursts a vein or something," he chuckled. "Or makes HyunJoong burst a vein." He guided YoungSaeng off the porch.

The second they joined the others, JungMin bounced happily before starting off towards the forest, completely ignoring the fact that there was a path through the field right beside him and running through the grass instead.

Nodding his head, YoungSaeng followed after the group, occasionally snapping pictures of their surroundings. Landscapes had always been something he loved taking pictures of.

KyuJong followed along beside YoungSaeng, watching their friends with amusement. JungMin dragged HyungJoon into the grass with him and proceeded to torment the younger until they were running circles around the group. Nicole and HaRa giggled at the front, pointing out different things around them. It was very peaceful, something he always missed when he was away from home.

Taking video of JungMin and HyungJoon running around, YoungSaeng let out a sudden bark of laughter when HyunJoong's foot came out, tripping HyungJoon, who fell with a loud cry. Stopping the video, YoungSaeng smiled and handed the camera back to KyuJong. "Thanks for letting me use it, Kyu yah. It's a very nice camera."

"No problem, use it as often as you want," KyuJong grinned back at him, then choked on laughter when JungMin couldn't put on the brakes fast enough and tripped over HyungJoon's feet, the redhead sent sprawling with a shriek. Watching with amusement, KyuJong hung the camera back around his neck and held YoungSaeng close.

Laughing and even having to use HaRa and Nicole to remain on his feet, HyunJoong gained enough control to hold his hand out to JungMin to help him to his feet. "I swear I was trying to help," he snickered.

JungMin lifted his head up off the ground, wrinkling his nose at the other man with his hair all over his face. "Your help is very counter-productive." Reaching up, he took the offered hand. Then instead of standing up, a mischievous glint appeared in his eyes and he pulled hard on the older boy's hand, rolling out of the way.

"ACK!" HyunJoong shouted as he suddenly found himself on the ground. Blinking in shock, he pushed his hair out of his eyes and looked around, eyes falling on JungMin. "Oh, you'd better run, Min," he threatened playfully, getting to his feet.

"Running," JungMin chirped happily, bouncing back up as well and taking off towards the forest, laughing loudly.

"Don't go too far, Oppas!" Nicole yelled after the two as HyunJoong tore after the redhead.

"I don't think they heard you," KyuJong chuckled, watching the two with amusement.
