“I know you’re there,” He calls out softly, “Please, reveal yourself.”

As if on command the shadows part and a dark figure steps out. Wonpil gasps when the smoke wafts and reveals Younghyun from behind it. Wonpil immediately sits up, his tunic slipping off one rosy shoulder with the movement.

“I-I’m sorry, I didn’t know it was you.” The words tumble out of his mouth as he tries to straighten his tunic that still sticks to his body, wet skin glowing in the golden light. “I thought perhaps a being of the forest…”

Now that the other god isn’t in hiding anymore, the powerful aura radiating off him is palpable, making his identity clear.

Younghyun bows his head politely in return, expression unreadable. “It’s me who needs to apologize, I didn’t want to startle you.”

Wonpil bites his lip before he gets up and slowly walks towards the edge of his meadow. The other stands a few steps away, keeping distance between them and not entering his mother’s realm – a wise decision on his part. “What bought you here?” Wonpil asks curiously.

The elder stays silent for a while, seems to contemplate what to answer before he states calmly, “I heard singing and I became curious what was calling to me from Demeter’s realm.”

At that Wonpil blinks up at him, his lips curling into a coy smile. “Calling for you?” He giggles. The foliage from the woods rustles at the sound, reaching out towards Wonpil, yearning for his touch.

“Is it your first time here?”

The furrow of Younghyun’s brows is enough answer for Wonpil and he bites his lips to contain a smile before he breaks out in soft laughter.

The sound is like bells chiming to a melody, flowers seemingly opening up to the music. Wonpil smiles brightly at Younghyun, eyes and skin glittering in the sunlight that seems to shine solely on him. Younghyun’s fingers twitch.
