Mark removed both his shoes and socks. He winced as he felt little pricks and pokes from what was on the ground. He followed Youngjae as they walked through the opening in the foliage.

With every step, Mark felt a different rock or twig digging into the bottom of his foot. He wondered how long Youngjae did this before his feet became so calloused that he didn't feel it.

Once they past all of the trees, the two boys came to a large open space with a wide creek running through the middle. Youngjae immediately hopped on top of a large rock and looked down at Mark who was still cautiously navigating himself to a smooth rock to stand on. But then he looked over the scenery and smiled, relieved that they were in a place like this. It was so beautiful.

"Come on hyung!" Youngjae yelled, making his way down from the rock and taking Marks hand.

The blonde laughed and followed him as he stepped into the water that was cool over their feet. It was a relieving feeling once again.

They waded deeper until the water was mid-way up their calves. Then they just stood there. Not sure what to do next. Youngjae's bright and enthusiastic smile caused a soft one on the other.

Mark placed a hand on the side of Youngjae's face.

"It's really pretty here, Youngjae," he said. The younger one blushed and giggled.

"Well why do you think I brought you here?"

They both smiled, and Mark pulled Youngjae into a soft kiss that only lasted a few short seconds.

When they pulled away, Youngjae flashed a mischievous grin and kicked up the creek water, causing it to get Marks whole right side wet.

"Youngjae-ah!!!"
