"Keep up you two~"

Johnny smiled, riding on Dean with Peno rested on his shoulder.

It's so cool that he has a Persona like Dean and Peno. It's like he has his own personal steed, as well as his own personal vigilant owl.

"There's no way we're falling behind hyung~"

Jisung happily cheered.

He was currently riding on my back, while I flew to keep up with Johnny. He's having so much fun, that I can hear the smile in his voice. It makes me exceptionally happy that he's having this much fun~.

After a few more minutes of riding and flying, we finally made it to our destination.

Johnny liked my idea of taking more Polaroid pictures, and as a request, he asked if we could bring Jisung along too.

He had the perfect place in mind to take more pictures, so he led the way. He ended up leading us to a small empty beach, which is exactly why he wanted Jisung to come.

As soon as I landed with Jisung, he immediately ran off to the water, while Johnny and I began taking pictures.

2 Hours Later

-

We continuously took pictures, up until we ran out of things that captured our interest.

We used the rest of our time to watch Jisung enjoying himself in the water. Soon though, he changed his legs into his tail, and completely disappeared into the water.

"Where do you think he went off to?"

"Beats me hyung. He's a pretty mysterious kid, but that's why he's so intriguing to me~"

"I see... So, what's your favorite out of the photos you took Renjun?"

He asked curiously.

I immediately chose the double rainbow photo that I captured.

"This one~. I had to wait a bit for the second rainbow to become visible after we first arrived, but it was worth it to get the perfect shot of them~"

I explained, and he smiled.

"It's a very pretty and rare shot. I like this one since it has a nice view of the ocean with the shore, along with a couple of birds"

Johnny eagerly showed me his own.

"I really like the lighting and composition, and the birds make it look even nicer~. I can feel the calm radiance and warming sunlight just by looking at it~"

"I was thinking the same thing~. You really have an eye for stuff like this"

He complimented, putting the photo away.

"I really like to analyze things. I guess it became a habit~"

"It's a great habit, especially in battle. You know how to analyze your situation well, and you always know just how to execute a mission based on the information you have. It's a commendable attribute that you have, especially since you barely had any training for you to analyze as well as you do"

I listened attentively as he spoke.

"You must use that attribute to save others around you. The worlds that we live in are fraught with danger and evil. You must constantly be on guard, even in the most peaceful of times"

"I understand"

"But don't worry about that too much. You've got all of us to be on guard with you, so you can rest easy~"

He gently pat my shoulder.

"Just be sure that you remember that information when the time comes. You can do that for me, right Renjun~?"

"Of course hyung. Thank you~"

He seemed very pleased with my answer.

Not even seconds later, Jisung sprung up from the water, but this time, his legs were back.

He happily walked over to us, as we got up from where we were seated.

"I'm back~"

He smiled.

"You look excited Jisung"

"What's that in your hands??"

I questioned.

He excitedly opened them to reveal a collection of tiny shells, placed inside of a bigger shell.

"I found a bunch of baby shells on the ocean floor~! Aren't they cute~?"

He brightly smiled as he showed us the shells.

"They're adorable~"

"You're too cute Jisung...~"

Johnny couldn't contain his smile, and pet Jisung's head.

"Isn't it time to head back~? I was gone for a while, so I don't know~"

"Indeed it is. We should get going"

"I'll be ready in a second! I gotta do something real quick!"

I ran up the small hill that was nearby, before either of them could question my actions.

Once I reached the top of the hill, I took one final picture. Satisfied, I ran back down to Johnny and Jisung, and we began our departure for home.

I really like how the picture came out. Maybe I'll come back here someday~.
