to lie upon.

"What should I sing you, hmm?" Jongin spoke softly to the other, raising his head slightly to look down at him, Hyungseok giving me a soft smile and a nod.

"Are these your tigress stripes that you earned by taking over the kingdom?" Jongin looked up at her, giving her a bright smile, earning a laugh from her.

"No, silly, I got that when I was 10. I fell off a bike," she finished her sentence before leaning in to press a kiss to her forehead.

The older woman let out a pathetic groan, furrowing her eyebrows, shaking her head, “N-No, I can’t be.. I have a lot to today.."

Jongin let out a light sigh, "Noona, you can always get back to those things when you're feeling better. Now, you stay here. I'm going to get you some soup and some medicine."

Today couldn’t have been a more perfect day for that; the sun was shining, there were barely any clouds in sight, the birds were chirping, there was a light breeze, and the playground of the park was filled with the laughter of playing children. Nayoung let out a content sigh and decided to perch herself on a bench near the entrance of the park. It wasn’t long before she heard the sound of feet pounding against the pavement in a hurried jog.

"Nayoung-ah!" A familiar yet breathless voice called out for her; it was none other than Jongin.

Giving her a bright smile, he slid onto the bench beside her, a small white box clenched in his hand.

"I called this meeting today because I have a present for you," Jongin held the box up, shaking it lightly so that the contents inside rattled against the sides of the box.

"Oh?" Nayoung raised her eyebrows in surprise as she gazed at the box before looking at Jongin, giving him a bright smile, "Well, what are you waiting for? Give it to me!"

Laughing, he handed over the box to her and watched as she opened it. Two bracelets with yellow, red, and green lay curled up together inside.

"They’re friendship bracelets," Jongin went on to explain, "The yellow represents the bright future of our friendship, the red represents the hard times we’ll go through together, and the green represents the good times we’ll share together."

Nayoung couldn’t help the smile from spreading out on her face, “Oh, Jongin. this is the sweetest thing anyone has ever done for me.”
