Chapter 64: I Didn't Mean To-

(Please listen to the song above as you read. It's an OST from Laboum- A French Movie. The name is Your Eyes by Cook Da Books.)

Yeji's P.O.V

"Ryuddaeng!" I closed the door behind me and pounced on the sleeping girl in exhilaration, thus waking her up with a start and pushing air out of her lungs in a sharp whoosh due to my weight on her.

"What- the-heck?" She wheezed, continuously spanking my back to make me go away, but I refrained from budging. "I was sleeping peacefully before you disturbed me, stupid cat!" She whined grouchily with her eyes shut, and she tried poking my waist blindly, not until I kissed her forehead cheerfully, then her hands fell limply to her sides.

"I'm so happy, Ryuddaeng," I squealed, cupping her cheeks and squishing them until her lips puckered. Then, she peeked at me through her heavy eyelids as she tipped her head forward, subtly lifting it to get a clearer view of my smiley visage. My heart began to palpitate incessantly against her warm chest that is heaving heavily with deep and prolonged breaths owing to her lingering sleepiness. An adoring smile tugged at my lips when I engrossed myself in the mesmerizing eyes of my first love- that reflected only me in them- with my chin placed on her chest and palms on her cheeks.

"Stop looking at me that way." She hissed irritatingly with a groan, killing the mood, and I could almost hear the sound effects of a spinning vinyl record or a turntable being halted abruptly like in the movies when a person gets snapped out of their reverie.

"But I'm happy," I spoke in a childish way, my voice dripping with aegyo, and I pouted at her, to which she rolled her eyes at. Next, she poked my forehead with her index finger to get my head off her chest, but I shook her finger away vigorously, grinding her chest with my chin in the process. Soon, a giggle escaped her lips.

"Y-yah. I-it tickles!" She tittered throatily with her alluring deep voice that sends shivers up my spine. "Now, get off me and go back to your own bed."

"Nope, I'm gonna sleep on top of you like this until the sun rises up and high," I declared grimly and snaked my hands under her waist to lock them together tightly, receiving a groan of defeat from her; hence, I sniggered in victory.

"Fine," she breathed, closing her eyes in a snap before she added threateningly: "Don't you dare think of moving in your sleep, or else I'll kick you off the bed." Just like that, she was succumbed to slumber while inaudible snores could be heard from her kissable parted lips. I pressed my ear down on the left side of her chest to listen to her heartbeats as I drifted off to dreamland, highly expecting to meet her there.

Ryujin's P.O.V

I felt someone lightly slapping my cheeks, awakening me from my relishing slumber, and an extra weight on my body shifted to the side, followed by the sound of feet hitting the floor. I opened my eyes to a slit in order to peep at my best friend, who's dragging my legs, pulling me with her from the bed.

"Yah! Hwang Yeji, what's wrong with you?!" I yelled, but she proceeded to haul me without even flinching when I raised my voice at her.

"Get up! We're gonna watch our first sunrise in France," she ordered me before adding with a beam: "Just the two of us alone."

Yeji's P.O.V

We sat on the sand; with a blanket wrapped around us, Ryujin's arm sneaking around my shoulder, my head leaning on her arm. We gazed at the horizon where the sun was gradually emerging after a night's rest, illuminating the blue as if it were igniting the most perfect flame. The flaming ball of marigold stretched its rays ever outward into the rich blue sky and casted their light onto the rippling aquamarine sea. Then, I shifted my focus to my first love, whose stunningly handsome face I could never get used to, while she craned her neck with her eyes closed, relishing the warmth of the sun as its light bathed her features. On the account of sitting within the reach of crawling waves, the salty water tickled our splayed toes until it drenched the edges of our jeans and continued its way up to our legs.
