I put picture references at the very bottom of the story :D

"where are we going, jeonggukie?" taehyung cheekily smiled at jeongguk, their hands intertwined between them as they walked side by side along the river to the destination jeongguk had in mind. they both had camera hanging on their neck.

"hmm," jeongguk pretended to be very deep in thought which elicited a giggle out of taehyung. "do you still have a room for dessert, babe?" jeongguk asked, hand lightly patted taehyung's clothes-covered belly.

"yeah, always, gukkie," taehyung grinned his boxy smile.

"then how does ice cream sound to you?" taehyung then nodded enthusiastically, and jeongguk pulled him to a restaurant that served soba ice cream made of buckwheat. once their sweet tooth had been satisfied, they continued their walk.

the area around Ginzan had lush scenery, including a 22-metter-high waterfall, Shirogane Falls. jeongguk and taehyung walked trough the hiking track whilst occasionally capturing the sceneries by their cameras such as mountain shrines, koi fish in the river, and the forest. when they arrived at the fall, the young couple was so entranced by the beauty of the place that they spent an hour just admiring and taking photos. the water was pristine white and the sound of the falls really calmed the heart of the visitors; it was a very beautiful tourist site.

the next destination was Shosenkyo Gorge, a scenic location that provided beautiful view of trees and water falls. since they went in November, snow had covered the tress, giving a majestic white colour anywhere they saw. taehyung and jeongguk couldn't stop taking countless pictures of this attractive place.

taehyung sighed, "I wished I could bring my canvas so I could paint here," the omega pouted cutely.

jeongguk laughed. "you have good memories, I'm sure when you draw this scenery at home, it'll turn as great as the real deal," he encouraged.

the young couple walked past omokage park with gorgeous view of trees, river, and Ginzan town. as they walked, they found a cave that was part of the silver mine. since it was early november, the path was still walkable so taehyung and jeongguk went inside the cave. the site was clearly carefully taken care of so the visitors could relive the history of the area.

"are you cold, babe?" jeongguk asked, unwinding his scarf from his neck. the temperature had dropped significantly when they entered the cave.

"no, guk, I'm fine," taehyung tried to refuse the scarf but jeongguk had already wrapped the scarf around the omega's neck, humming satisfyingly. alphas tended to be able to hold their body warmth way longer than omegas, much to taehyung's displeasure. the omega huffed in annoyance, but kept the scarf nontheless.

by the time they finished their cavern tour, it was already lunch time and both taehyung and jeongguk's stomachs were competing in growling race. they agreed to eat in an oyakodon restaurant before continuing their photography date.

"you know, gukkie," taehyung started, smiling cheekily. "I used to think that my dream guy was a handsome guy with great bod who piloted an f-35 for me." they went back to walk along the Ginzan river that flowed trough the town.

jeongguk snorted. "oh, yeah?"

"the options I had with him would be only him riding up the vehicle while I stayed on the ground just watching as he flied higher and higher til he disappeared between the clouds, or I rode together with him in that single-seat aircraft and made us crashed together."

jeongguk tilted his head in confusion, "that sounded sad," jeongguk said. "anyway, what's up with f-35? that thing is so expensive, I can't even afford to be as close as your dream guy," the alpha pouted adorably.

much to jeongguk's surprise, taehyung giggled. "of course you can't, silly! you're not a dream guy, cause you're real! you're the one I have and love in reality."

jeongguk covered his growing blush by turning away his head, pretending to huff in annoyance. his heart was beating wildly with how much he really loved his omega. "I swear if I become successful in the future, I'll buy you that damn thing."

"firstly I don't think that's legal, secondly what will you even do with having a freaking war aircraft, dummy?"

"duh, so I can find you anywhere you hide, you won't be able too escape from me," jeongguk creepily said, which earned a painful slap from the omega who laughed heartily at jeongguk's joke. with a smile on their face, jeongguk tightened his hold on their intertwined hands and swung it high as taehyung squealed giddily.

"joonie! let's check this place!" jin strongly pulled his husband into a restaurant, grinning wildly in excitement. "I'm pretty sure this is the one I saw with good reviews in the internet."

culinary food was what jin looked for firstly in a place; with the scenery and tourism sites as the second and third. for that certain reason, namjoon was also reluctant to take him to the tourism sites in yamagata because of its hiking track and lots of walking. nonetheless, jin was still happy because he could spend the whole day tasting and eating delicious food.

the restaurant, much like almost all buildings in Ginzan town, had ryokan wooden style and pretty nostalgic designs. the window next to their table provided them the view of Ginzan river, white forest and snowy mountains--very beautiful scenery.

"oh my god, namjoonie~" jin talked with his mouth full, he was delighted because the food really lived to his expectation. "the oyster's favour is so rich! I can taste the umami~"

namjoon chuckled looking at jin's excitement with puffy cheeks and wide, starry eyes. his husband really reminded him of a hamster. "yeah, it's really good."

"ugh, this firefly squid is soooo puffy and smooth!" jin started moaning, which made namjoon chocked on his sake.

"jin babe, I know you're really enjoying the food," namjoon said patiently, laughing at the end of his sentence. "but perhaps you should be a little less expressive?"

but jin paid namjoon no mind as he surged down to try another dish in haste, moaning albeit quieter at the taste. "oh shit, this is the best mozzarella marinated in soba tsuyu texture. I'm in heaven, joonie, I swear."

"I'm glad," namjoon laughed, eating his own share of tennuki, he admitted that the food this restaurant served was heavenly. "oh here comes the pajeon."

the waiter served them the korean pancakes which earned an excited squeal out of the omega. "this is the best wedding anniversary gift you gave me, joonie, I love you more than I love this pancakes," said Jin, smiling beautifully.

"and I love you more than I love all the food combined in this world," namjoon replied back.

yoongi and jimin picked a ryokan managed by soba restaurant which served handmade soba made of Obanazawa buckmeat that offered onsen with lunch meal and provided amazing view of the area.

"aigooooo, nothing beats the sake when you visit Japan," yoongi lazily groaned, leaning back on his seat as he looked at the beautiful view of Ginzan town from the balcony. this restaurant's master of sake had recommended them the best sake they could ask for.

"babe, let's drink 'til the last drop," jimin laughed wildly, already seeping his third glass. the couple were both heavy drinker. the story was, they both met in a drinking party, got along well as they drank trough many gatherings, and became the perfect 'old-married' couple they were.

"the food is good, try this," yoongi fed jimin the fresh sobagaki using his chopsticks, satisfied with the expression jimin made as he tasted the food.

"yoongi hyung, I think the fried fukinotou they made fits perfectly with the sake," jimin giggled, and the couple made a toast, gulping down together. "oh, they paired the kiriboshi daikon with salt grilled sweetfish. delicious~"

"it's not even the season of sweetfish," yoongi said, eating the sweetfish with eager expression. "I want to cultivate sweetfish."

jimin chuckled. "so you can eat it whenever, huh? sure, but I ain't helping."

"well you suck at taking care of pets," yoongi insulted jokingly.

"but I'm the best at taking care of you~" jimin wiggled his eyebrows flirtingly, but immediately laughed.

yoongi ignored his mate, indulging himself with the food. "this tastes like revolution. when I go home, food won't taste the same."

"hyung, let's order animitsu as dessert," jimin suggested.

"do what you want," the alpha nonchalantly said, pouring the sake to both of their glasses.

hoseok sighed in sadness as he walked by himself along the Ginzan river, not really in the mood to do anything in the midst of his heartbroken state. he didn't know what to do to please himself so he could escape from this misery. he had taken a bath in the onsen after waking up, eating delicious breakfast that made him so full, and taking a walk to the tourism site alone would probably make him look so pathetic.

suddenly an idea emerged, and energy came back to his unusual lethargic state. hoseok loved shopping, why hadn't he thought of doing that soon?

that was why hoseok started to scan through the numerous shops that sold beautiful yukatas and yamagata merchandises that catch his eyes. there was a beautiful shop that displayed a very good design of yukata. hoseok was about to enter the shop when something caught his eyes; a familiar brown haired beta.

"oh, wendy-ssi," hoseok greeted, bowing a little. "fancy seeing you here."

wendy looked surprised., she bowed back in greeting. "hoseok-ssi, are you shopping?"

"yeah," hoseok said, looking at a blue flowery design of a yukata which he noticed as the one wendy was also eyeing. the alpha laughed, "guess we have the same taste, huh? your fashion taste is not so bad, wendy-ssi, I must admit."

wendy snorted. it was a different expression hoseok didn't usually see the resident evil teacher made at school. "you can have it," wendy  said, turning to eye another similar yukata but with pretty sakura flower design.

"I thought you went with the other female teachers," hoseok said conversationally, noticing that the beta woman was shopping by herself.

"no, shopping with the girls doesn't really sound fun," wendy chuckled. "I asked jeongguk-ssi this morning, but seems like he already got himself a date."

hoseok noticed a split second of solemn expression of wendy's face. it was clear that they both were just rejected. feeling sorry for themselves, hoseok gave a sympathetic smile to the beta woman. "I think this one really suits you, wendy-ssi," hoseok pointed the sakura patterned yukata.

"oh, you think so?" wendy scruntinised the piece of clothing, eyebrows furrowed cutely.

"yup," hoseok nodded excitedly.

"guess, I'll buy this then," the beta gave hoseok a grateful smile, little did she know the skipping beats of of the alpha's heart upon seeing the unusual beautiful smile.

hoseok cleared his throat, following wendy who went to the cashier to buy the yukata. "since I gave you helpful suggestion, you should come help me choose my own clothes," hoseok advised rather seriously. wendy couldn't help but laugh at the alpha's funny expression.

"sure. I'm great at fashion, you should be grateful," wendy boosted jokingly.

"glad to hear that," hoseok smiled brightly. "can't wait to check the other shops." the alpha grabbed the blue coloured yukata and they both proceeded to pay for the clothing on the cashier together, smiles on both of their faces.
