Chapter Text
“Do you know why birds stay when they can fly anywhere in the world?” Mino questioned, glancing briefly at his leader while Seungyoon’s gentle fingers combed through his black locks. His head rested comfortably on the younger’s lap as they observed the birds building a nest in the hole of the trunk opposite the tree they were relaxing under.
Jovial chirps liven up the atmosphere of the almost deserted park they were in, and the shade provided by the towering branches of leaves shielded them from the scorching rays. Seungyoon lets out a melodic chuckle, shifting his gaze to his lover. Leaning back to rest against the sturdy trunk, the younger studied the way Mino’s features morphed adorably whenever he gaped curiously at the fluttering birds. “Then,” Seungyoon responded with a twinkle in his eyes, “Why do you stay when you can be anywhere in the world?”
Mino fell still for a moment, deep in thought, before an enormous grin broke out and his eyes easily found Seungyoon’s. The light breeze of a lazy summer afternoon carried his cheerful words, uttered in his rich baritone voice, “Because you are here, with me. And that’s all that matters.”
