Italic (Haruto)

The wind blows against his skin as he walk on the sand with a grin. He felt happy today because he's with Asahi whose smiling with his dimples.

They're at the shoreline as they feel the calmness of the sea. Wanting to forget the stress and problems for a while.

"The sea is also a medicine." Junghwan exclaimed making Asahi chuckle at him. The younger started to run to feel the relaxing wind and Asahi did the same thing too.

Unexpectedly, a guy trailed at them—curious about what is happening. He definitely missed the two, especially Junghwan.

"He's now happy, he don't need me anymore." The handsome man whispers and took a deep breathe. He watches them with an empty feeling, he doesn't know what to feel actually.

"But I can still the sadness behind his beautiful smile." He whispers again and turned his head to look at the sky, his tears wants to touch his cheek.

Junghwan's bright smile is making the beach a better place. His smile made the sea dancing with the beautiful and wonderful waves, the birds are singing with such melody. The trees are also waving wanting to be friends with them. The sun found jobless because of Junghwan's smile—a sunshine indeed.

"I missed this beautiful blue sea." Asahi mutters as he reminisces those lovely moments with her, holding each other's hands. Running on the shoreline with bright smiles. She's such a beauty, an ethereal beauty.

The guy named Watanabe Haruto is staring at the most beautiful view, So Junghwan. He trails at where the younger is running at. His heart beats went crazy and he froze on his position when his eyes met the dazzling brown eyes of him.

He felt the world stops revolving and found himself walking closer to him as his eyes stares at the prettiest man in his eyes.

On the other side, Junghwan felt his knees weak. He mumbles the man's name, his favorite name.  His eyes glued on him and tears fell on his soft cheeks.

Finally, they're now in front of each other. Both are emotional as they stare at each other's eyes. Junghwan's heart is beating loudly and faster, his breath hitch as he gasp for breathe.

Haruto's hand find it's way back to the soft cheek of the younger. He swears that he definitely missed touching the soft loving cheek of Junghwan.

As his thumb gently brushes on his cheek, millions of memories flash on his mind. Those moments that made their world magical. Those very special days that they spent together conquering the cruel world.

A gentle smile of happiness between sobs formed on the older's lips. Their hearts connected again after million years of separation. The younger felt his body weak and fell again on the tender loving chest and warm arms of the japanese. Their heart are beating and shouting for their names again.

Watanabe Haruto embraces So Junghwan with the very tight hug that he missed. He placed a lengthy kiss on the younger's forehead as tears flows like a river on his cheeks.

"Junghwan-ah, I'm very sorry." He mutters, closing his eyes with a heaviness inside. His heart is aching for the younger who suffered alone—without any help.

The younger felt his chest tight as he continuously cry on his chest. He embraces the older's body tighter too and slowly lifted his head to look at him.

Their eyes met again, but this time lovingly staring at each other. The younger's lips formed a gentle smile with sweet tears on his eyes.

"Can you embrace me again for the next sunset?" The younger asks while biting his lips anticipating for the answer even though he already know what will happen tomorrow.

"I'm not a boy who only make promises. I'm a man who will consistently choose you." The older muttered as he look at him, holding his hand after decades of separation.

"B-but you left me for her." The younger whispers and tears roll down on his cheeks again. The older quickly wiped it away and placed a gentle kiss on his forehead.

"I'm sorry for leaving you without further explanations. I'm sorry for being stupid and coward, but I did it to save you from my father's wrath." The older responded as he rub the younger's cheeks with his thumb.

"W-what do you mean?" The younger asks as he look at him with his cute confused face.

"He caught us having a date, he's against us. Baby, he wanted me to dump you but I refused cause I love you so damn much, but he threatened me that he will do something bad at you if I will not end our relationship." Haruto said and he nervously look at Junghwan who's still confused.

"Then he asked Minjung's father to be his business partner and they wanted me to marry his daughter." The older continues and Junghwan felt sad again because the world is really against them.

"Are...are you happy with her?" Although his heart is heavy, he still push himself to ask that question. He wants to know if he will still fight or completely give up on loving him.

"I enjoy her company, but I still love you. I'm doing it because my dad told me to take care of her, but you're still the one I want to live an eternity with." Haruto explains as he silently sobs in front of the younger.

"You still love me?" Junghwan asks and felt his heart beats faster this time, waiting for the older's answer.

"I still freaking love you, baby." The older mutters with the sweet melancholic voice that made the younger's heart jump with happiness and all the heaviness he felt earlier are now gone.

The younger's eyes tears up again as it flows down against the soft touch of his pinkish cheeks, his lips formed a positive curve. He's happy, very happy.

"I love you too, it never changed. You're still the one, Haru." Junghwan mutters with a smile as he look down because he's shy again towards him.

"Don't worry. This time, I will do everything to make you happy again. Just wait for a while, I will fix everything. " Haruto whispers and finally placed his hands on Junghwan's chin. He slowly went down for a gentle loving kiss that both of them surely missed.

Such a romantic kiss that Junghwan loves the most from Haruto. He felt safe within his arms and felt loved with his kiss.

Then there's Asahi, secretly clapping his hands with a proud smile. He's happy for Haruto and Junghwan, they finally met again and their hearts' whispers are finally heard.

Then he thought to himself, will she come back to me too?
