"매직 아워"

"Magic Hour"

It was a breezy afternoon of December 1st, Gyeoul's birthday. As the day went on, he noticed that the girl seemed restless, since she kept on fidgeting by cleaning the house over and over again.

Is she alright..?

Beomgyu thought as he watched her, then averted his eyes when she caught him staring, making him awkwardly chuckle as he scratched his ear.

Maybe I should start preparing...

◇

They finished eating dinner and tidied up. Gyeoul was washing the dishes as Beomgyu just finished wiping the table with a damp towel. She felt anxious. Something was bothering her.

I can't believe it's tomorrow.

She thought. "Did you find the keys for the back door?" Gyeoul asked as she washed her hands, breaking the silence. The lack of reply made her turn around, seeing the boy had already left as she heard faint sounds of music playing. "Beomgyu?" She said as she walked towards the slightly opened back door, going outside to the backyard, following the sound. A soft 'wow' escaped from her mouth as she got out. She saw fairy lights hanging on the trees illuminating the dark garden as he was fixing the volume of the radio and noticed the girl.

"Would you like to dance?" Beomgyu asked as he walked towards her, offering a hand. Without hesitation, Gyeoul held his hand. His spare hand found its way to her lower back as hers rest on top of his shoulder. Both were exchanging smiles as they danced, yet she still felt anxious.

'My only one, when I see you, I want to lean on you'

She went closer to him, moving her hand from his shoulder to his back, hugging him.

'I want to have you'

But I can't.

"You okay?" He asked as she felt his hand caressing her head and she nodded in response. She couldn't stop thinking about what will happen tomorrow.

Things were all happening too quickly.

'My only one'

"Hey..." He said, softly as he heard her sniffing. "Aigoo, you shouldn't be crying." He said as he cupped her face, wiping her tears with his thumb, and kissed her forehead.

"Happy birthday, Nundeongi."

It was a breezy and foggy early morning on the second day of December. Gyeoul was on the porch, looking around as she lent forward to the white railings. Her actions last night kept replaying in her mind.

Stupid! I was so obvious! I shouldn't have acted like that!

She thought, her right hand on her forehead. But, that wasn't the reason why she felt that way. She was anxious, anxious to leave him.

She isn't ready, but she has to.

She then suddenly felt his arms snake around her waist as his head rested on her shoulder.

"Hmm? You okay?" "Is there something wrong?" The girl added as she felt his head slightly nod. "My head hurts." Beomgyu said. "I just want to rip my head off." He said as he felt her plant a kiss on his forehead. "Let's go get breakfast-" Gyeoul's sentence got cut as he engulfed her in a hug. "I dreamed about it again." "But this time it wasn't me getting hit..." There was a pause.

"It was you."

"Don't leave me, I'm scared that it might happen." The boy said as his grip tightened. "Stay with me." He added as he felt her arms wrap around his lower back. The girl wanted to say something but nothing came out of her mouth.

She doesn't want to leave him, but she knew she couldn't stay any longer with him.

I...

Hours have passed and Beomgyu's headache finally went away. It was now afternoon, both of them went outside for a walk. The two kept talking about the past few days as they walked, while thinking about where they should go. "Is it just me or time passes so quickly these past few days?" The boy said, slightly tilting his head. "It feels like we just went to the café earlier." He added as the short-haired girl agreed, chuckling. "Yeah..."

The boy's face then lit up when he saw a carnival nearby. So the two went and bought some cotton candy as they walked around. "Should I win you another plushie?" Beomgyu said as they reminisced about the time the black-haired boy won a black-cat plushie for the girl. "I'm fine with the mini-yeongwon you gave me." Gyeoul said as she chuckled while they continued to walk around, their surroundings filled with colorful lights, music and laughter. The two then stopped and took a rest, seated on a bench nearby, watching the carousel, as the boy then remembered how uneasy the girl was.

"Do you want to get on the carousel?"

He suddenly asked, earning the short-haired girl's attention. "Eh? Don't you think we're too old to get on that thing?" She answered as she chuckled. "Tsk, there isn't an age limit for enjoying ourselves." Beomgyu said as he held her hand and stood up. The boy's face once again lit up when they rode on the carousel, as a smile crept on the long-haired girl's face. "Wieee~!" He said, giggling, making the girl laugh.

Happiness looks good on him.

She thought as she watched the boy giggle, her small smile slowly disappearing.
