it wouldn't matter as long as i was with you, but i'll plan something. if i can't decide, i know a quaint little apartment by a park i wouldn't mind staying the entire day in.
i would tell you that you don't need to, but if that's what you want, then i'm fine with it. should i meet you at your place, or are you picking me up?
[ but he needs to reserve the rental car and pack quickly, the excitement to see vie and be with him still fluttering in the pit of his stomach. it doesn't take him too long, the longest part being the trek to pick up the rental car. for every hurdle they've narrowly made it through together, things seem to be smoothing out and it allows room for that small seed of hope to take root.
they deserve this break, don't they? jaejin doesn't want to think of the complications that would come with being vie's personal bodyguard right now, wants to focus on savoring this moment instead. the rest can come later.
when he pulls up in front of vie's building, he sends a message to let him know he's arrived, pressing his lips together as he waits. he hasn't driven a car in some time, but he knows as long as he's alert and careful, there won't be many issues. this is about making memories with vie, after all. he'll hop out to help vie with any luggage he has when he spots him, or so he plans. ]
[ vie smiles but doesn't get the chance to answer immediately, not when he's too busy thinking about what he should pack and where they might go. honestly? he has no real preference as long as it's just the two of them together, and if they're in the car and driving to some unknown destination, he's more than fine with that. it gives him a reason to hum, neatly putting everything together and waiting for jaejin's message that he's outside. even with this, he tries to take it slowly, equally happy to put his own things in the car rather than have someone else do it for him.
and with it shut inside the trunk, vie takes hold of jaejin's wrist and pulls him close. ]
Hello, my darling. [ leaning in, he briefly kisses the corner of his mouth. ] I promise to give you more, but we should leave first.
[ whoever might be watching—he doesn't care about that. he'd only like the privacy to do and say whatever he wants within jaejin's company, and to do that, they'll need to get out of the city. at the very least. however far they go, there's always the chance of someone being there, but vie throws caution completely aside when he kisses him again and gets in the car. ]
[ before he can even think to stop himself, jaejin is smiling when vie comes out of the building, lighting up at just the sight of him. to his defense, he doesn't insist on helping him, letting vie manage his luggage and the trunk of the car as he watches him. he isn't really sure where he's planning on driving them, more of just a plan to leave the city without so much as an idea, really.
the goal is to relax and stop wherever it is they like. it isn't as if jaejin has been out of the city save for that single abrupt trip to busan.
but he lets himself be pulled from his thoughts more and more, each kiss grounding him and making him feel that much more excited that they have the opportunity to do this. ]
I'll make you pay up for them later, then.
[ it's a tease as he gets into the car himself, buckling his seatbelt and making sure vie does the same before carefully pulling away from the curb to start their small vacation. he's nervous about driving, but how happy he is easily overrides that. he'll reach for vie's hand once they're out of the city. the need to touch him that he always feels an insistent one. ]
Is there anywhere you'd like to go? Or should we just drive until we see something we like and stop when we're tired?
[ vie likes this. he likes the ease at which they both relax, the words that are exchanged, and even as they drive, casually glancing out the window at the people and the buildings that move past, he realizes that there's nothing he would rather have more than the person behind the wheel. they haven't had time like this in so long, and though it's already edging closer to a later hour than usual for a trip like this, vie doesn't mind the destination as long as they experience it together.
he refuses to wait until they're out of the city, leaning to gently rest his hand atop jaejin's thigh. ]
Let's go as far as we can, and when you don't want to drive anymore, we'll stop. [ is that a compromise? perhaps it isn't really since vie doesn't care where they go. ] Unless there's somewhere you want to take me? We can also do that.
[ because wherever they go, vie will take care of the accommodations and have jaejin all to himself away from the meddling eyes of his house. ]
[ vie's hand on his thigh mellows out any residual nerves from driving and jaejin looks at him, giving him another far too fond smile as he drops one of his hands to rest over it. what he says makes him laugh, though, and it's a genuine sound, just clear and happy. it doesn't take him long to realize another truth about the situation, now that he has the opportunity to really give it some thought. ]
I've never thought much about where I'd like to go outside of seeing pictures on brochures or places on TV. [ slipping his fingers between vie's, he gives it a gentle squeeze, making sure to pay attention to driving as well. ] Every new place I've been to, I've been there with you.
[ because it was never an option before and now that he kind of has his freedom, he doesn't want to go anywhere without vie. ]
I just want to make as many memories with you as possible.
