CHANYEOL'S POV:

We reach the hotel we will be staying in for the vacation. The room I selected is superior garden room with a hot tub. Sehun chose the same room for themselves as well. Gosh, I'm excited to be on a vacay after so long. As it's clear with sunshine kissing every place it radiates on, we decided to go to the beach and swim. Rhian is wearing a cute blue beach dress with a bow in the front and vertical white stripes. She looks adorable. With her hair down, a hat and white flats. Such a cutie. She literally has got me under her palm. I keep looking at her while she giggles. "Yeol, all good?". "Yeah, just admiring your cuteness". She blushes. "Goodness Loey". She shakes her head and laughs. I stand up from the bed and go to her. Hugging her from back, I place tiny kisses on her cheek. Her giggles make my day even brighter.

 "I love you so much, maybe a little too much". I say while lifting her from the ground and swirling her around. "Loey hahaha, put me down babe". I gently put her down. "Let's goooo". "Yesssss". We go out of our room. On our way, we meet Sehun and Zyanya. "Hey, let's go and wait on the beach. The others said they'll join in a few". "Alright, let's goo". Making our way out of the hotel, we cross the road and go sit on the beach. It's beautiful with the sun shining on the calm waves of the ocean. The girls have decided to wear beach dresses that's either one piece or denim, short with a long shrug. Kyungsoo and Seren join us along with our newly confessed couple. Seren is wearing a blue mid-length one piece with white small daisy flowers on it, with hair tied up in a high ponytail. Adorable. Kyungsoo's eyes don't seem to be in an intention to leave her. His eyes soft, caring and full of love. I look at Sehun and he has a small smile on his face. I'm glad things are coming back to the way it was. 

I pull Rhian close to me and peck her lips. Her eyes widen. "Yeol... what are you doing?". "Well... just showing my love for you". She hits my chest gently. "Our parents are here. Behave yourself". "So... it's not like they mind". She sighs playfully. "You're unbelievably...". "Unbelievably romantic I know". "Haha, not really...". I raise my eyebrow. "Are you sure about that?" She looks up as if she's thinking. "Hmm... I'm not saying it". I pull her closer to me and smirk. "I won't hesitate to make you say it from your own mouth baby girl". I move my face closer to her and she pushes me off her, running from me. "If you want to find it, then catch me". She sticks her tongue out. "If you get caught, then you'll surely be punished". "We'll see about that". 

She runs away from giggling and I can't help but smile. I run behind to catch her, and dang she's a good runner. But I am passionate chanyeol. I'll however catch her. *Wait for me baby, once I get you, you're in for a punishment*. She occasionally looks back to check whether I'm behind her or not, and once I get closer, she starts running again. A literal child. I smile seeing her all giggly, laughing and happy like a kid when they get a surprise. I don't plan to ever take this side of her away from her. Or will anything let touch this side of her. This pure, innocent side. *When all four seasons pass by one by one, our love continues to grow. I'm falling in love with you*

YIXING'S POV:

We reach the beach. Seeing Siofra in a white two-piece with blue embroidered flowers on it makes me smile widely. It's my first time seeing Sio wearing a short and I can't help but adore her. "What's wrong Xing?". "Nothing. Just adoring you". She chuckles. "Gosh Xing". "What?". I place a small peck on her lips. "Xing, we are on a beach with people around. What are you doing?". I roll my eyes. "So what if people are around, I'm just showering love on my wife that she deserves". She looks at me and smiles. "Awww... very sweet". How could I just not appreciate her for being strong when things were hard for her. Her health not being much supportive, she had her times when she felt low. When she felt nothing is worth fighting for. When she felt life is too hard to live. But she made it out of that phase. Sometimes, she does slip into it but comes out of it as well because of the support our families give her. Maybe that's what made me fall in love with her deeper. She always has been my backbone. Made me slowly accept that flaws are fine.
