The park air was sharp and cool, laced with the sugar-scent of melting ice cream. Jeung Yoonchae walked close beside you, her arm tucked through yours, the brush of her shoulder against yours a steady, intimate rhythm. To any passerby, it was a simple shared walk; to the five figures crouched low behind the flowering hydrangea bush, it was the final, glorious act of a season's worth of yearning. Yoonchae smiled, her gaze soft and focused on you, oblivious to the lenses pointed their way or the frantic, hushed commentary from the shrubs. The slow burn had finally caught flame, though neither of you yet felt the heat of the watchful eyes.
