Over The Seas [Kim Sunwoo The Boyz]

Chapter Fifty

The summer sun beams it's rays on my face through the window of the plane. It's mid-July and my school has organized a trip to Jeju Island for graduating students. I'm currently on the plane ride to Jeju and we only have a few minutes left before we land. I'm sitting near the window looking outside and admiring the view from above.

It's been two months since I last saw Sunwoo. I often think about him and that day but the memory doesn't stay for long. I'm not really sure how I'm supposed to feel about it yet.

"Hey, you okay?" Areum asks, who is sitting beside me.
"Yeah, I'm fine." I answer, not really sure if it's true or not.
"Good 'cause I was wondering if we could talk more about Sewoon." She whispers.

Areum had confessed to me that she has feeling for Sewoon about a month ago. To get my mind off the break up, she's been asking for advice and help in trying to tell him.

"He's sitting three rows in front of us- he won't hear you." I teasingly assured her.
"Whatever. So how do you think I should tell him?"
"Sewoon's the type of guy to like things simple and sincere even though it may not seem like it from his personality. He likes being straightforward so it shouldn't be too difficult to do."
"Easy for you to say." Areum complained.
"You just have to find the right moment. Trust me, I know Sewoon won't reject you. He's obviously into you." I say confidently.
"But what if he's not?"

It's honestly surprising seeing Areum so worried about other people and what they think. I guess that's what love does to people.

"Don't worry about that now. First think of what you want to say. Baby steps."

A few minutes later and we finally land on Jeju. It's interesting being here for the first time and witnessing all the beauty my parents explained to me.
They sky is clear blue and the weather feels warm with a breeze here and there.
Everything almost seems brighter here.

We were spilt into our classes so we were separated from Areum. Wegot onto a bus to drive to our first location. Our teacher told us the itinerary for the day and the first few things on the list was sight-seeing at parks. After going to eat lunch, we went to the Sangumburi Crater- a wide landscape as a flat crater.

We arrived and we begin walking up the long walkway surrounded by pampas grass as we get higher. Everyone walks around in awe of the scenery. Sewoon and I found Areum so we walked around together marveling everything.

"It's like we can see the whole island from here!" Areum exclaimed.
We could indeed see a lot of green land and mountains on the horizon.
"Pfft, this isn't even half of it." Sewoon scoffed. She playfully shoved him and Sewoon shoved her back.

I decided to keep walking along by myself to enjoy the other views. It's nice to be able to forget about my problems for a second and live in the moment. Thinking only happy and peaceful thoughts, I kept walking around until those thoughts were suddenly gone.

"Did you hear the rumors about The Boyz?"
"They were spotted in the airport, right?"
"The Boyz......"
".......The Boyz......"

When I heard the group name, I immediately thought of Sunwoo.
Why were they mentioning his group? Did something happen? I hope he's okay.
Wait, I can't think of this right now.
I shook it off for now and decided to walk back to where Sewoon and Areum were.

"Where's Areum?" I ask Sewoon when I notice she's gone.
"She went to go play with those little kids over there."
I saw her making silly faces and playing tag with a bunch of 8 year olds. I think it made Sewoon smile.

"You okay?" Sewoon asked.
"Yeah, I'm fine." I said trying to sound as convincing as I could.
"Riyae, I've known you for a good time now. I can tell when something's wrong with you."
I gave in. "I just don't want to bother you while we're on this trip."
"I'm your best friend, I'm supposed to deal with your problems too." He said wisely. I knew he was right and he wanted to help me. I opened up to Sewoon and my feelings.
"I just thought that I could enjoy the trip without thinking about Sunwoo."
"Yeah, I heard people talking about their sightings on the way here." He took a pause before asking, "Do you miss him?"
I sighed before giving my answer.
