Aurora Borealis (Daehyun & Yeonseok)

Maybe it was the right call. Maybe it wasn't. At this point, Dae wasn't sure what's right and what's not anymore, which was saying a lot considering the male never really had a phase in his life where anything is unsure. That's the thing about him, he is always sure. It could be good or bad, but it is something he knows is sure to himself. Now? Not so much.

He stared at the mirror in front of him and noticed how haggard he looks, he looks tired and sad. He remembered what Yeon said the night before, how he would leave everything and go with him. Of course, a man with that calibre wouldn't really have a problem dropping anything to do whatever he wanted. Yeonseok Lee is rich and well in his own, he has a whole business, a company under his name, a smile that would charm even the hardest rock. And that rock is him. He was fazed, he was shaken. It was why he had a whole luggage packed with his clothes and essentials. It's the reason why he's making sure he looks presentable.

He sighed to himself and murmured "You can do this Daehyun, it's just a trip... how long could it be anyway? We'll eventually get bored and all of this will be over with... He wouldn't want a piece of heavy baggage like yourself, this is just him being nice... because that's who he is, Yeon is a nice guy..." He had reassured himself that the valkyr only wanted to do his part as a good friend.

Dae closed all the lights at his place and dragged the luggage with him as he spared one last look at the living space. He had hoped that perhaps once all of this is over, he could come back to this comfort. Maybe he wouldn't die. By the time he went down from his unit, he noticed there was a car waiting right in front of the entrance. He had thought nothing about it if not for the striking blond who just came out, even after crying last night, Yeon looked exceptionally beautiful. Of course, he does. He's a valkyr but not everyone can be charming like him. "Why are you... here? I thought we'd meet at your place?"

Yeon gave him a knowing smile but didn’t push the topic any further, it was enough for him that Dae had chosen to come with him, even if it was for a limited time, he was going to make the most of every second they had together. He was content which made the flight go by quickly, which he was grateful for because Yeon could be easily made antsy by a long flight where he wasn’t doing work to distract himself from the length of time.

Yeon shrugged slightly in response to his question “I think everyone gets bored when all you have to do is sleep or mindlessly browse the entertainment on the screen so food becomes a welcome break” he chuckled “Or maybe because you have to rely on someone to bring you food it makes you want it more…” either way he wasn’t wrong because Yeon often found himself eating far more food than he usually would on a flight day.

“Don’t you worry, there’s plenty of food waiting for us once we get into the city” he assured him and nodded his head “The cafes always have the best pastries…you haven’t really lived until you’ve tried a pastry from a real French bakery” he grinned playfully. He was honestly relieved to hear that Dae had some wishes for the trip and he wouldn’t just be dragging him from place to place.

He glanced over at the niveis and shrugged his shoulders slightly “They can be seen that way…but mostly it’s because they’re proud of their language and culture and they don’t like…obnoxious tourists” he offered a gentle smile as the flight attendants informed them they were coming in to land. His gaze drifting to the window to look at the city below them.

This vacation was far from his thoughts honestly, and the only reason why he came with the valkyr was because… he promised to give him the chance, so he should make good on his promise. To be fair, the niveis halfheartedly thought Yeon would forget about that night, but no, he showed up early in the morning with his luggage and designer clothes. Classic Yeonseok Lee.

“So it’s a good thing…” he murmured as his eyes glazed over the menu of what was being offered in flight. He has never tried them and he wasn’t sure if he wanted to but he is also hungry. Naturally, Dae wanted to munch on something. Dying on an empty stomach didn’t seem ideal but he didn’t think much on it previously.

“People say in flight food is not good, they’re on par with hospital food, is that right?” He raised his eyebrows in surprise when he said he would find a whole new world once he tried a pastry from a real French bakery “What’s the difference? I actually like the bread from Lecroix’s downtown…” He was an avid bread lover, who often got his fix from a specific bakery. “I’m not an obnoxious tourist… though to be fair, I’m bad at French.”

He’s a bounty hunter, he travels, but never on a whim or pleasure. He’s there to finish a job, that’s it. A quick sweep of in and out, nothing more, nothing less. “The last time I was in France was when I had to do a stakeout…” Again, not pleasure business. “And I ended up hanging the person against the top floor of the Eiffel Tower… so there’s that.” When the plane landed, Dae swore he heldnonto the handle firmly he was sure it would break if he asserted anymore strength than he already has. He had his eyes wide when it finally came to a halt “That’s… overwhelming…”

Yeon chuckled softly, it was interesting to see Dae’s reaction to things that felt so trivial to him, it reminded him that not everyone had the same experiences and what could feel so normal and uninteresting to him could be something so new for someone else “Well…perhaps that’s the case in economy but in first class…you know…you can even get caviar with your dinner if you want that” he wasn’t a fan personally but the option was always there.

“Well…everything is made from scratch for one…you know most bakeries are pretty guilty of freezing everything overnight to save costs…” he shook his head “Not where we’re going, I swear you’re going to be a changed man” and he was so excited to get to see his reaction, he realized…getting to share these things with someone he cared about, felt pretty damn special. “I can get by” he commented, analyzing his own skills in the language “But I’d be rude if people didn’t even try to respect my culture too” so he couldn’t blame the reaction.

Yeon widened his eyes “The stories you bring out from bounty hunting honestly sound like something out of a spy movie” he pointed out, shaking his head comically, Dae really didn’t even realize quite how out there his norm seemed, he supposed they really were far apart in their lives. As they came in to land, Yeon was watching Dae with a concerned gaze, practically feeling the anxiety radiating off him, he reached for his hand to hold it firmly “You’re okay…you did it” he assured him.

Before long the plane was beginning to deboard, he gathered his things from the overhead compartment to give Dae some time alone to process, as he had quickly learned the other male often needed. Before they knew it, they were heading through the airport and out into the streets of Paris.
