"Hope you two had a great time." Hyunjin forcefully smiles, seemingly tired. I would be too if I worked two jobs a day.
"We did." Jisung nods and swallows, exiting.
"Thank you," I nod genuinely at the blonde. He'd been chill, which was unexpected. "I think I'll come to work tomorrow."
"It's fine, you shall spend time with your boyfriend."
"See you."
My pretty soon-to-be-boyfriend has his head tilted up to the night sky, his adam's apple bopping from time to time.
I take a moment to fully admire him, eyes lingering everywhere. And I mean everywhere.
From his side profile to his exposed neck to his cute outfit.
It does something to me, again. He's just so, ugh.
"Oh?" he turns his head, realizing that we're still on the white veranda of the bistro. Since the windows are made of glass, the small number of people inside can still see. "hey."
Shaking my head after acknowledging the weirdness of me staring at him, I say, "let's go." and push him by the arm towards the stairs.
During late hours, like almost eleven right now, the beach is ours.
That's why I like living here.
But the awful memories— I wish they didn't ruin everything.
The brunette starts talking, getting me out of my head.
"Maybe you should stop eye-fucking me and–" he gets shushed by a squeeze on the waist.
"Stop talking."
He gets silent, gulping. Though there's a tiny smile on his handsome face.
I'm tired, and my mind is busy thinking about how I'll confess. Really, I have to.
My heart feels heavy and the weight on my shoulders is sadly ten thousand heftier than Jisung's.
This will either go wrong and whatever we have will be ruined, or I'll find true happiness and eventually have to admit that he was right all this time.
'Don't pussy out now, Minho.' I try to tell myself to not panic.
It feels uneasy. It's nothing I've experienced before and I'm scared. How embarrassing, pathetic; I'm not even scared while watching disturbing gory horror movies!
