Hyun Bin was up just after sunrise. He dozed off earlier than Ye Jin last night and so he left her to get more sleep, lifting the covers up to her shoulders before stepping into the bathroom for a long shower.
Rubbing his wet hair with a towel, he peeked through the floor-length curtains and saw the terrace for the first time.
Stepping out, he was welcomed with the breathtaking clear blue waters and fresh breeze of the Sicilian west coast. Their villa was placed at the dead center of the beachfront, where he can easily see the two cliffs on both ends of the beach, the Mount Gallo and Mount Pellegrino.
He took a moment to bask under the clear sky and made a mental note to take Ye Jin shopping. There's no way he'd let the days pass without dipping into the sea.
It was half past 7 when he went back inside and remembered Fernando telling them that breakfast would be ready by 8.
He pressed 1 on the landline and the caretaker picked up on the third ring. "Buongiorno!", he greeted.
Hyun Bin asked if they could have their breakfast served in their room, thinking that it would be great to have their first meal here in Sicily out on the terrace. Fernando informed him of the menu for the day and told him that he'd have their food up to their room at exactly 8.
"That would be all. Thank you, Fernando."
"My pleasure, signore."
Hyun Bin approached Ye Jin and sat by the edge of the bed. She looked like an infant sleeping in a fetal position, so calm and serene.
He anchored both of his hands on either side of her and slowly leaned down to kiss her cheek, "Jagi", he whispered but she didn't stir.
He tenderly brushed the strand of hair that tangled around her neck before trailing kisses from her forehead down to her jaw.
"Jagi, wake up. Breakfast will be ready in a while", he cooed while rubbing her back.
Ye Jin opened her eyes upon hearing his soft baritone voice against her ear. She was used to being jolted awake by the blaring and annoyingly loud Apple alarm, so hearing his soothing voice first thing in the morning definitely lifted her spirits and electrified her in a pleasant way.
She gave him a bright smile before stretching her arms and landed them around his shoulders, pulling him down and embracing him tightly.
Hyun Bin burrowed his face in the crook of her neck, leaving an open-mouthed kiss before sucking at her collarbone, causing Ye Jin to produce a low moan before he raised his head and went for her lips.
Hyun Bin devoured her right away, slipping his tongue into her mouth while his hands slid underneath her shirt, caressing the soft skin on the small of her back. She felt so small and delicate in his arms that it made him enclose her further into his embrace, sucking on her lips when she pulled away slightly to catch her breath.
