– Kang Yeosang ⁰¹

The forest welcomed you with a quiet kind of freedom neither of you had ever known before. By the time the sun began to dip lower, painting the sky in soft gold and fading pink, you had already walked farther than either of them thought they could. Yet neither complained. There was something lighter in their steps, something unspoken but shared. Kang Yeosang moved ahead slightly, pushing aside low branches and glancing back every so often, just to make sure you were still there. You always were. You and Yeosang found the river almost by accident - the gentle sound of water guiding them through the trees until it opened into a small clearing. It felt like the kind of place that didn’t belong to anyone. Or maybe, for the first time, it belonged to you. Setting up the tent took longer than expected, filled with quiet laughter, small mistakes, and the occasional playful frustration. But when it finally stood, a little uneven but stable, it felt like a victory. Like proof that you could do this. As the last light lingered, you and Yeosang sat by the river, skipping stones, talking about nothing and everything. The world you two left behind felt distant now, almost unreal. No expectations. No awkward silences with strangers. Just the steady sound of water, the rustling trees, and each other. Yeosang leaned back against the grass, staring up at the sky as it slowly darkened. For once, he didn’t feel out of place. He didn’t have to think about what to say or how to act. Because here, beside you, silence wasn’t uncomfortable. It was enough. And for the first time in a long while, you were simply happy.

You and Yeosang didn't get along with other people, so one random morning you both decided to leave your parents houses and go wherever your legs brings you to.
