Heavy footsteps trudge against an uneven stone path. Each step making an audible crunch as they crush pieces of gravel and fallen autumn leaves. The figure, over his shoulder, carries a large boar, its legs tied together and its head bobs lifelessly. In his other hand, he held a large sack, filled with things like herbs, fruits, and other things of interest that he had picked up on his day out. The man huffs out a sigh and lifts his head, determining where he is by eye. It was dark out, and being far from the nearest village, well.. there was very little light. But, his eyes were adjusted to the darkness, and with the aid of the moons light, he followed the path home.

He was in a hurry to get home, but made sure to be careful with each step. He wanted to make sure he came home unharmed. It was important that he did. Vital.

He was in such a hurry because he had someone waiting for him there. Someone important. His husband, who had been sick for a long, long time. Since before they married. They had actually met because of his husband's illness. When Soon Ryong and his father were going door to door, village to village, to give out important letters to people as commanded by the emperor. Soon Ryong was a nosey little child, and decided that on the last stop, in the last village, he would do some snooping.. that's when he met his husband, who had spotted them from his window. The two got to talking, and Soon Ryong would frequently come to visit him in secret.. which led the two to where they were now. Married, and living their secret little life in happiness.

Soon Ryong often recalled and reminisced their first meeting.. which always led him to zoning out. When he snapped back to reality, he was already stood outside the gates of his home. He and his husband, quite obviously, owned their own land, a quaint little estate that the two bought. It wasn't large, but it wasn't a squeeze. It was just comfortable for their sort of living. It had a nice courtyard, a separate little building for holding food and such, an empty stable which Soon Ryong used as a larder, and of course, their own living space.

The hunter sighed, pulling open the doors he slid inside, closing them securely before turning and hurrying towards the larder to dump the boar and the sack of herbs and other things he held. He'd tend to those things later, for now, he wanted to see his husband. He hurried across the courtyard, a smile now plastered to his face as he checked each room for his lover. He knew where his husband would probably be.. but still, he liked looking for him, like a fun little game of hide and seek.

Finally, he sticks his head into their bedroom, and smiled wider, seeing his husband settled in their bed with a book. He shuffled inside and made his way to his lover, wrapping his arms around him and nestling his head on his shoulder.

"My love, I'm home~ How are you feeling? Did you remember to take your medication at the right times?"
