Chapter 13 - 30th day of June
Do I have a choice?“Jungsoo, look at this!” Heechul, currently eating their hotel – served breakfast excitedly handed his phone to Jungsoo who was sitting on the other side of their table.
The picture currently displayed on Heechul’s phone is a wall of tall shrubs popping with blue-colored flowers.
“Wow, that’s pretty! Where is that?” Jungsoo asked immediately.
“Here! In Jeju. It’s called Camellia Hill. Let’s go here today.” Heechul replied, eagerly looking at his husband to agree to him.
Jungsoo handed him the phone and noticed that there is some maple syrup on the side of Heechul’s lips. He quickly wiped it with his thumb and automatically his finger afterwards.
“Okay honey. Let’s do that. But let’s finish these pancakes first.”
Heechul nodded with a big smile on his face that surely reflected the one currently plastered on Jungsoo’s face.

Heechul excitedly trudged towards the garden entrance while Jungsoo followed behind him. Seeing that there’s a bit of people in line at the entrance for the tickets, Jungsoo quickened his pace and grabbed Heechul’s hands so he won’t get lost in the crowd.
“Chul, you’re too excited. I don’t want to lose you in this crowd.” Jungsoo complained.
“I’m not a kid Jungsoo.” Heechul pouted but instead of freeing his hand from Jungsoo’s he instead grabbed it and entangled their fingers together. “But, let’s still hold hands. I like it.”
They first went to the place’s most famous spot, the arboretum of Camellia trees.
