"Are we there yet?" Was heard twice throughout their walk to Aryeon's favorite place, and the last time was said in a rather whiny tone. She was excited to see the spot he wanted to show her, which is why she was quite impatient. And maybe Sooyoung was getting quite tired of walking uphill. She wasn't prepared for such a walk. He didn't give her any hints of where they are going, so she couldn't properly prepare for it.

But the moment they arrived at their destination, she couldn't hold back the gasp that left her. She could see the city lights and a view she has only seen in pictures. "Oh. My. God." She breathes out, taking a little distance from him to properly look at the view. She's mesmerized. "It's so pretty in here!" She exclaims once hearing him, looking over her shoulder to see him and a wide excited smile is decorating her facial features. "I can't believe you have gatekept this place from me."

letters for Donghyun・❥・@briarborn

sometimes kieran just gets very excited. presenting yunhwa with a handmade sweater and being praised for his work is a specific brand of happiness. his tail swishes into a blur and a toothy smile tugs at kieran's face. it's half pride, half childish elation. all kieran wants is to be good. to be helpful and useful for yunhwa because yunhwa was the best! yunhwa guides him. houses him. gives him pets and lets the wolf know about things like air conditioning and smart phones. the least kieran can do is help around the shop and present yunhwa with gifts like clothes and paintings.

so maybe kieran takes yunhwa's approval very seriously, and therefore treasures it. the lycan can't help himself as he leans in to kiss the witch's cheek. he doesn't even realize what he had just done. oh!! no!!!!!

"careful, it's still hot," said yunhwa, holding out a spoonful of stew for carmine to taste. it was rare these days that he had a quiet moment to actually cook, always so busy with the briar and at the car shop, that he had simply had to invite carmine over. it was, after all, a rather special occasion. "it's a family recipe. any and all criticisms will be a direct attack on my dear mom." though yunhwa's tone was serious, the grin on his face easily betrayed it.

Carmine nodded slowly, blowing some air on the spoon before he took it between his lips to try it. It did taste nice and Carmine surely appreciated the gesture of Yunhwa cooking for him. “Trust me, I am italian, I would never dare to critique a good old family recipe. I have a very proud nonna that would slap me with a pan for the disrespect.” Carmine winked at the other male before stealing another spoon full, hopping on the kitchen counter to sit there. “But that means, next time I introduce you to my nonnas ragu alla bolognese.

Cold dates. These were the best type. The small, intimate ones she could share with someone she really cared about. Without having to worry about how they looked – they could lay there with the air blowing as cold as she could make it, despite it being in the middle of a hot summer, both wearing big sweaters and even fluffier pants.

It had originally been her idea. Tired of being worried about getting caught, whether by her managers or the few fans she had (it wasn’t as though modelling caught too much attention), Doyun really enjoyed quality time over big, expensive dates. She enjoyed staying home and cuddling on the couch while the two of them talked about their days, easily imagining a future where this would be a common occurrence.

“…I love you,” she said, pausing while they were still in the middle of talking about their annoying co worker. Doyun had been listening – she just really wanted to say those words to them. Her head was resting on their lap while smiling admirably at them from her angle, their hand in her hair and absentmindedly pushing her bangs from her face. “I’m sorry. You can continue,” she said after a shy laugh.
