Face The Sun - Sunghoon ✓

ℂ𝕙𝕒𝕡𝕥𝕖𝕣 12

It's almost time to eat and we have just left the camp. We are now walking on the edge of the road to reach the village where the restaurant is.

Do we have to walk for a long time ?

- No, I don't think so. Maybe 10 minutes maximum.

I nod and then we walk silently. Few cars are driving on the road we are taking, we can listen to the sound of the nature around us. The road is surrounded by fields and ditches, it's a real countryside landscape ! As we walk, the sun gets stronger and I thank myself inwardly for remembering to take a cap.

- Walk that way instead. Sunghoon tells me, shifting me so he can walk on the side of the road.

Are you worried about me ? I ask him, chuckling.

He rolls his eyes and we continue to walk in silence.

A field of flowers appears in my sight and the desire to take a picture of it little by little as we approach it becomes bigger. When we are right in front of it, I take my phone out of my pocket and take a picture, then I ask Sunghoon to take a picture of me in front of the field. I give him my phone and move a little closer to the fence surrounding the field, trying not to fall into the ditch.

Unfortunately and knowing my luck, I slipped a few centimeters which made Sunghoon react directly. He takes a big step forward and grabs my wrist, I squeeze his hand immediately.

- Even when you're not on the side of the road, you manage to put yourself in danger. He said, pulling me towards him so I wouldn't slip anymore and handing me my phone back.

What about my picture ?

- You already took it. Step on and don't let go of my hand ! Otherwise you're going to give me another heart attack.

He lets go of my hand to take it properly and interwines his fingers with mine. I look at our hands then look up at his face. He has rosy cheeks but looks straight ahead and acts like we're literally not holding hands.

I look ahead of me again, try to hide my smile and my cheeks as pink as his and squeeze his hand lightly. I feel his gaze land on me and see a big smile form on his lips.

We are seated at a table next to a window where we can see a wonderful view.

Our hands let go when a waitress lead us to the table. She gave us the menus and we are now going through it. Today, I wouldn't take anything original, given my craving for a burger as soon as I saw that word appear on the menu.

The waitress comes back a few minutes later to take our order and then we can finally enjoy the view while waiting for our dishes to arrive.

- I wonder why Sungjung created this bond day.

Why ? You don't like this day ? I ask him, raising an eyebrow.

- I was just wondering. Bond day is very good ! He seems to want to reassure me.

I nod slowly and pull out my phone. Heejin sent me a picture of Inhyuck and her eating on a restaurant's terrace. I show the picture to Sunghoon and mention that Heejin looks happier than usual. Didn't I tell her about revelations ?

Our dishes arrive and we begin to eat our meals with appetite. Sunghoon's dish looks delicious and I almost regret not ordering the same.

- Are you staring at my dish ?

What ? No, I'm not. I say as I start eating my burger.

- You want to taste ?

Nah, it's okay, eat.

He doesn't listen to me and cuts up a piece of his meat and put it on my plate. I blame him for being stubborn but thank him anyway.

We finish our dishes then we pay and go out. We will walk and have our dessert on the way in a small convenience store.

In a gesture that seems natural, he takes my hand. I'm less embarrassed than before so I don't show much reaction except for a small smirk.

- We're not going to have an accident before we go to the beach.

I laugh and hit him on the shoulder. We pass two old ladies who seem to have gone for a long walk and greet us with a big smile. After passing them, I hear them discussing the fact that we are a nice couple and then I remember that we are holding hands even though we are only friends. Nevertheless, I do not remove my hand from his.

When we arrive at the small convenience store, we greet the saleswoman and head straight for the ice cream section of the store. I can't decide so I ask Sunghoon to choose for me and he takes me a melon ice cream. Well, let's taste.

We go to the saleswoman and pay for our ice creams then we leave in the direction of the camp.

You have good taste, you know ?

- I know. You should ask me to choose for you next time.

We are now at the camp and we each went to our house to change before going to the beach. Over my sky blue swimsuit, I put on white shorts then put a towel, sunscreen and fresh water in my backpack.

We agreed to meet in front of the path that leads to the beach and I went there directly after rechecking the contents of my backpack and taken off my sneakers to put on flip flops.

I check the time on my phone, 2:12PM. I may not be ahead, but Sunghoon is even less so. While waiting for him, I take a look on Instagram.

- You really should wear blue more often.
