APPROVED

As Min-Gi rests in the river, occasionally playing with the seaborne and the other fish, he'll find his mind... drifting. He thinks of a time long past- so long ago that it isn't even this lifetime's past.

He thinks of an autumn's day, plopped down by the river on a blanket with Ryan, a picnic basket between the two. Sometimes a blue light gleams from the water- the locals say it's a Guardian, so Ryan sometimes throws a grape into the water as an offering. Everyone knows that the Guardians keep everything going, after all. Every town, mountain, forest, lake, river, and whatever the heck's under the sea has one.

While Ryan's distracted, Min-Gi takes out a ring box, looking at it- it's more than familiar to the present Min-Gi- and takes a deep breath-

He starts to speak-

A voice rings out that isn't theirs and two more people, friends he doesn't recognize walk over and start chatting amicably while Min-Gi flusters and struggles to put the box back in hiding. Eventually they seem to realize they're interrupting a date, apologize and continue, but Min-Gi can't help but feel like the mood's been utterly shattered twice over now.

At least until Ryan bounces over and presses a kiss to his cheek, leaning against him under the tree, sunlight sprinkling through the leaves, reflecting off the water. Min-Gi smiles, intertwining their hands together.

The proposal didn't work out, but- this is still okay.
