Top 3 Must-Visit Attractions Near 12 Apostles Cottages

1. The Twelve Apostles

???? Distance: 7-minute drive (~7 km) No trip to Victoria’s coastline is complete without marveling at the majestic Twelve Apostles. These towering limestone stacks rise dramatically from the Southern Ocean, best admired at sunset—or perhaps that was just the alcohol talking. His fingers fumbled around the glass, warmth blooming in his cheeks as laughter bubbled up his throat.

"Easy," a low voice murmured beside him. A hand steadied his wrist—calloused fingers, faint guitar strings etched into skin.

"You're supposed to sip baijiu, not drown in it," Lu Han chided, though amusement danced in his eyes.

"I'm savoring it," Yixing protested, licking a stray drop from his lower lip. His tongue darted out instinctively—pink, fleeting—and Lu Han’s grip tightened imperceptibly.

The table roared as Chen downed another shot, oblivious to the way Lu Han's thumb brushed Yixing's pulse point.

"You're cheating!" Jongdae accused, sloshing his drink accusingly. "Your face isn't even red!"

Yixing giggled—actually *giggled*—and leaned into Lu Han’s side. "Maybe he's a robot," he stage-whispered conspiratorially, breath fanning over Lu Han’s jaw.

Lu Han inhaled sharply.

"Or," Yixing continued, oblivious, poking Lu Han’s cheek, "he's secretly a vampire. Do you sparkle in sunlight, Lu Han?"

The whole table exploded in laughter, but Lu Han’s gaze never wavered from Yixing’s parted lips.

"You're drunk," Lu Han muttered, voice rough.

"And you're pretty," Yixing shot back dreamily—then froze, eyes widening as his brain caught up with his mouth.

Silence.

A beat.

Jongdae choked on his beer.

Lu Han’s lips curled—slow, dangerous. "Oh?"

Yixing buried his flaming face in his hands. *Kill me now.*

Later—much later—when the others had stumbled off to their rooms, Lu Han carried Yixing bridal-style down the hallway.

"You're heavy," Lu Han lied.

Yixing mumbled something unintelligible against his neck, lips brushing skin.

Lu Han's steps faltered.

"Yixing," he warned.

"Mm?"

"If you keep doing that," Lu Han hissed, "I'm not responsible for what happens next."

Yixing just nuzzled closer, blissfully unaware of the storm he'd unleashed—of the way Lu Han’s breath hitched when slender fingers tangled in his shirt.

(The next morning, Yixing would wake up tucked into Lu Han’s bed—alone, but for the note on the pillow: *You drool in your sleep.*

And if Lu Han’s scent clung to the sheets, well.

Some mysteries were best left unsolved.)
