*Jie's perspective*
As Jie observed the scene unfolding in Blooming Courtyard, he couldn't help but feel a swell of warmth in his heart.
The darkness of the night was lifting and the light of dawn would be upon them soon. The darkness of the early days were lifting ever so slowly, but even in the light, sadness could still find them.
Despite the distance separating them, the expressions on their faces were crystal clear even in the dim light of pre-dawn. His keen eyesight allowed him to discern the details with ease.
Their conversation poured into his ears without any buffer. He heard them more clearly than the conversation going on beside him… he wasn't nosey at all… he was just watching out for his brother in arms…
The most eye catching of the group was Min, tall and refined in his stance, cradling the adorable little ger, Lee Mo, in his arms.
