Loving Wendy

twelve

" its beautiful!"

Yonghwa turn to see Wendy smiling at the view from outside the window. Their riding a bus to get to their destination.

Its been a while since he saw her smiling face and he's glad she accepted his invitation to visit his uncles farm.

She smiled at him as shw pointed to birds flying off in the distance. She even giggled to herself at some memory she remembered.

Yonghwa just stared at her. Her eyes are crinkling on the side as she watch kids playing on the fields, flying their kites.

Shes really pretty.
Iwas so worried when I saw her that night and I felt her pain when she cried. This girl beside me did something to my heart without doing anything. Her simplicity made her shine in my eyes.

He unconciously brush a lock of her hair from her face and she look at him with surprise. He smile at her and she smiled back at him. Then she tug at his sleeve as she points something outside. Yonghwa smiled to himself.

Hes just happy that he s able to make her smile again and forget about her pain.

He opened his eyes and look outside the window, its almost noon and they are nearing his hometown. He glanced at Wendy 's sleeping form. He made her rest her head on his shoulders as she started to drowse off. Her face look so serene and her small mouth open slightly showing her teeth.

He slide the seat a little so she can be comfortable as she sleeps. She heard her sigh and he smiled. Her face scrunch up making him think that shes dreaming about something bad.

" shhh...just sleep Wendy.." He whispered to her. Her eyes fluttered open and closed again. She suddenly
lean on him using his chest as a pillow. He stiffened for a bit before he relaxed. He place his arms around her shoulder so she will not be jostled in case the bus stop suddenly. Then he close his eyes. Theres still more than an hour to go and he will just rest his eyes for a bit.

Wendy raised her hand slowly to hold on to the sweet smell under her nose. It keeps on moving away from her and she just want it to stay still so she can get more sleep. It smelled of seawater and cool grass.

She heard a quiet chuckle and her forehead creased. It sounded near her and definitely male. Did Rein bring a man inside their house without telling her?

She slowly open her eyes and took in her sorroundings. There are seats in front on her and she close her eyes again.

Why are there seats in their room. It seemed like shes inside the bus or something.

Her eyes suddenly flew open and she look at Yonghwa's face. Amusement evident in his eyes.

" did you sleep well?" He ask softly.

She rub the sleep from her eyes and stifled a yawn. She look around her again and her face turn red when she find herself hugging Yonghwa. She abruptly move away from him in the process bangung her head on the window.

" hey..are you ok?" Yonghwa ask her as she rub the back of her head.

" yah..uhh.. Im sorry.." She said her face getting redder and she bit her lip and look outside the window.

She felt him shrug his shoulders.

They didnt talk again until the bus stop at a crossroad and Yonghwa readied their bags.

" were here.." He said and he hold out her hand to her.

She place her hand on his and they alighted the bus.

Wendy smiled to herself already thinking of things to do to enjoy the weekend.
