Face The Sun - Sunghoon ✓

ℂ𝕙𝕒𝕡𝕥𝕖𝕣 13

I turn around and see Sunghoon, a towel around his neck and his backpack on one shoulder.

- Are you ready ?

Oh yes, and... thank you.

- No problem. I only say the truth.

His words make my cheeks turn red. I quickly turn around to hide and I hear him walk faster to be on my side.

- You know, I think nobody will be at the beach at this time. They all left to do activities outside the camp.

I look at him and smile. We continue to walk in a comfortable silence until we arrive at the beach. We walk in the sand and we reach a place with many beach umbrellas. We put our backpacks and towels under one of them and sit on it.

- You should put sunscreen, it's going to be as hot as yesterday.

I take out a tube and put cream on my arms, legs, belly and face.

Um, can you put some on my back please ?

- Sure. He raises his head then takes the tube that I gave him.

I turn around and sit straight. His hands spread the cream gently, going from my neck to my shoulders then to my back. When he passes close to my waist, a shiver runs through me. He notices and takes his hands away.

- I'm done, my turn.

He gives me the tube back and turn around. His broad shoulders face me as I spread the cream carefully. I trace the same path as him, from his neck to his back. I close the tube as he thanks me. We stand up and walk to the clear water. Our hands are touching but neither of us takes it off.

As we slowly enter the luke warm water, I look at the horizon that faces us. The pretty blue sky with no cloud.
When the water comes up to his hips, Sunghoon suddenly steps fully into the water, splashing it everywhere.

Are you serious ? I ask when he comes out.

- Oops, sorry~ He laughs and throws water in my face.

You little- I approach him and splash him back.

When I'm right in front of him, I put my hands on his shoulders and try to put him under water. Unfortunately, he drags me under water. As we both come out, I stare at him.

I hate you.

- Oh really ? A smirk forms on his lips as he slowly takes a big step towards me. Say that again.

I hate you. I say while I raise my head and look into his dark eyes.

- You're very bold, I see. He then starts to leave the water slowly.

Wait, where are you going ? He doesn't answer so I run after him and grab his arm. Sunghoon, I was kidding stay here.

He quickly turn around, he picks me up then throws me in the water.

I guess it's not over yet...

We fight again and again and I finally stop to catch my breath. I put my hands on my hips and raise my head to look at him, out of breath as well, standing one meter away from me. I look at his features, at his attractive face, his pale skin, his deep coal black eyes, the mole under his eye, his sharp jaw, his rosy lips... We look into each others eyes for a while, a smile appearing on our lips and chuckles coming out from them.

We came out of the water and went to sit on our towels. I laid down on my stomach and started to doze off. Something started tickling my arm. I open my eyes and see Sunghoon in front of me, also sleeping. I take my phone and look at the time : 5:43PM. I actually slept a lot ! The sunset will be in a few hours.

I lie on my side and rest my head on my hand, facing the sleepy boy. I look at his face another time before voices start to be heard so I turn around and see Heejin and Inhyuck.

I turn back to Sunghoon and gently shake his shoulder to wake him up.

Wake up, I say with a soft voice, Heejin's coming with Inhyuck.

He sits up, rubbing his eyes, while the other two walk towards us. They wave at us while I shift to the side of my towel so they can sit.

Want to join us ? They nod and sit next to me.

- So, what did you do today ?

They tell us their day and we do the same after them. As the sun started to set the two decided to leave to be lonely. I sit in front of the sun as Sunghoon come closer to me. The sun slowly disappear behind the water and I look at the boy. He looks at me in the eyes, feeling my gaze on him. We look at each other for a few second then he began to speak.

- Dahee ?

Hm ?

- I have to tell something right now.

Sure, go on.

He takes a deep breath, turning his head towards the sun. I still look at him waiting for him to confess. After a few seconds, he turns his head back to me and we look in each others eyes.

- You know, I think I like you. I think I feel like that for a moment but I wasn't sure so I waited for the right time, which is now.

To be honest, since I saw your handsome face I fell in love. I say whitout keeping my seriousness.

- Hey, be serious ! He nudges me.

Sorry sorry. I like you too Sunghoon. I take his hand and interwine my fingers with his and rest my head on his shoulder.

Dinner time is coming, so we pack our things and leave the beach, our bags on our backs. He takes my hand again and we walk like this to the camp. Almost everyone is seated on the tables, only Heejin and Inhyuck haven't arrived yet. We are going to sit at a table where Jungwon and Ni-ki are. The two missing people arrive a few seconds later and sit down at our table.

We all recount our day while eating lasagna. After the meal, I hugged Sunghoon, he kissed me on the forehead and we all parted ways. Heejin wanted to know what happened in detail, I just told her that we like each other. She told me that she and Inhyuck also confessed to each other, that they actually had a crush on each other since last camp and that I was right to tell her about the sunset. We went to bed and kept talking for a bit before she fell asleep.
