Mystery 6
“It’s really nice here…” Ryeowook spoke with such gentle voice, head leaning on Kyuhyun’s shoulder while the newly formed lovers ate ice cream in comfortable silence. They were sitting on a long, cream-colored bench, far from the crowd of the amusement park. Just the two of them, watching the sky and free birds fly carelessly.
Ryeowook imagined himself as one of the birds. Free. Careless. No problems. He imagined he's flying with Kyuhyun. The feeling was remarkable. It was too abstract that he couldn't interpret it on words. All he knows is that Kyuhyun had his own spot in his heart, maybe even invading the whole of it as his. But Ryeowook doesn't mind. As long as it's Kyuhyun. He hopes that Kyuhyun is feeling the same.
He was still scared and doubtful. Yet, Kyuhyun takes those emotions away just with his stare.
“I agree…” Kyuhyun smiled to himself, leaning to Ryeowook’s touch. Their hands were entwined. It was never disconnecting since they entered the park.

He can be back to the old Ryeowook again. But it will be challenging. It's only Kyuhyun he trusts. It was only Kyuhyun.
"You want to try the other rides?" Kyuhyun tightened the hold of Ryeowook's soft hand, looking at his eyes tenderly. "If that's what you want."
He smiled to the other. But he wanted to stay here longer. It seemed so peaceful just sitting on this bench with Ryeowook while watching the sky. He wanted to cherish more of this moment. Ryeowook's presence. Ryeowook's warmth. His trust.
Kyuhyun could see clearly that Ryeowook is trying to change himself. And he knows that he is having a hard time dealing with other people. What Ryeowook currently does is really tough. But Kyuhyun knows that what his
