Burning Spotlight (2)

Photogenic

Warmth encased me as Tae and I went under, spun around a little and came back up from the water. I sprung out of the water, controlled my balance and started walking back up.

I pushed my wet hair back as burning sunshine accented my salt water covered skin. Before I could take another step, my arm was grabbed and I was pulled backwards.

I turned around as Tae pulled me tight into his soaked chest, reached for my other arm and put them around him. He put one hand under my chin and tilted it up as the other rested on my lower back.

I looked into his eyes, "Yes?"

He smiled, "I love you." and kissed me.

It was soft, sweet and dreamlike, making me forget that we were out in public. I kissed him back hard and quick, broke the kiss and looked up at him, he gave me a look.

"Summer?"

Tease filled my eyes, "Love you too." and pushed him back into the water.

Water splashed around him as hurt filled his face for a split second then he busted out laughing. I dove in next to him, splashing him more as he sat in the water and watched me with awe.

A good few hours passed and we were finally packing our stuff up and got ready to head back home. We collected everything, reached for each other's hands and entwined our fingers.

I gave one last look behind me towards the ocean, turned back and headed back up the sandy pathway. We came back to the car, dried ourselves off the best we could, got in and droved off.

We stopped to pick up an early dinner, got back onto the road and headed home. Early evening sun followed behind us as we turned down our road to the house and into the driveway.

Tae opened the garage, parked the car and shut it. I grabbed our stuff as he shut the car off, got out and came around to my side. He opened the door for me, helped me out and shut it tight.

We headed towards the side door as he locked the car, reached for the door handle and pushed it open. Tan came running to over as I shut the door behind us and tossed our stuff to the ground.

I held my arms out to Tan as he came sliding into them and picked him up. I nuzzled his fur as Tae set the food down on the table and Tan wanted down. I laughed, let him loose and turned back to Tae, he smiled.

"Sorry for pushing you...I couldn't resist though, it was too fun."

He laughed, "It's alright, I'll get you back one way or another."

I shook my head, "I don't doubt it." and sat down at the table.

He joined me and handed me my food. I grabbed my chop sticks and started eating, almost inhaling it I was that hungry. Tae laughed as he took a couple bites of his food and stopped.

I did too and looked over to him as curiosity filled his eyes, I lifted an eyebrow.

"Taehyung?"

He put his chop sticks down, "I'm curious Summer...at the beach you said you missed it. Did you mean your dancing or photography?"

I froze for a second, didn't think he'd catch that so quick.

I sighed, put my chop sticks down also and sat back against the chair. I crossed my arms and stared back into his curious eyes.

"Both of course but...I miss my photography more."

"How come?"

"You know I went to collage for dancing right?"

He nodded, I continued.

"I couldn't afford it at first...I asked my parents to help and they did but only so much. I had to pay for the rest of it myself."
