Whispers of the Heart

XXVIII. New Beginnings

(i forgot to mention in the previous chapter that Mika,Niko and Riki left for Seoul that exact day, Vivi and Sunoo stayed a bit more in Italy so that Sunoo could tell the company that he has to leave and stuff like that.)

Vivi and Sunoo stepped off the plane, the familiar sights and sounds of Seoul welcoming them back. Their time in Florence had been transformative, solidifying their love and deepening their connection. Now, they faced the challenge of integrating their newfound romance into their daily lives at university.

Their first day back at the university was filled with excitement and a bit of nervousness. As they walked hand-in-hand through the campus, their friends greeted them with warm smiles and enthusiastic hugs.

"Welcome back!" Mika exclaimed, pulling Vivi into a tight embrace. "We missed you guys!"

"We missed you too," Vivi replied, smiling. "It's good to be back."

Niko and Riki approached, grinning from ear to ear. "How was the trip?" Niko asked.

"It was amazing," Sunoo said, his eyes twinkling. "We have so much to tell you."

"Well, we have all the time in the world," Riki said, patting Sunoo on the back. "But first, let's get you settled in."

Throughout the day, Vivi and Sunoo navigated their classes and campus activities, occasionally stealing glances and smiles at each other. The warmth of their hands intertwined brought them comfort and reassurance.

During a break between classes, they found a quiet spot in the campus garden. The sun filtered through the trees, casting a gentle glow on their faces.

"I can't believe we're back," Vivi said, leaning her head on Sunoo's shoulder. "Florence feels like a dream now."

"I know," Sunoo replied, wrapping his arm around her. "But I'm glad we're here together. It makes everything feel right."

Vivi lifted her head and looked into Sunoo's eyes. "I love you, Sunoo."

"I love you too, Vivi," he whispered, leaning in to kiss her softly. The world around them seemed to disappear as their lips met, their connection deepening with every passing moment.

As the weeks went by, Vivi and Sunoo adjusted to their new routine. They balanced their studies, extracurricular activities, and time with friends, all while nurturing their relationship. Their love brought a sense of joy and stability, even in the midst of their busy schedules.

One evening, after a long day of classes, Sunoo surprised Vivi with a picnic in the park. They spread out a blanket under a canopy of stars, surrounded by twinkling fairy lights.

"This is beautiful, Sunoo," Vivi said, her eyes shining with gratitude. "Thank you."

Sunoo smiled, brushing a strand of hair from her face. "Anything for you, Vivi. You deserve all the happiness in the world."

They enjoyed their meal, laughing and talking about their day. As the night grew darker, they lay on the blanket, gazing up at the stars.

"I feel so lucky," Vivi said softly. "To have you in my life."

"I feel the same way," Sunoo replied, his voice filled with emotion. "You make everything better, Vivi."

Vivi turned to face him, her heart swelling with love. "Kiss me, Sunoo."

Without hesitation, Sunoo leaned in, their lips meeting in a passionate kiss. The intensity of their feelings surged through them, leaving them breathless and exhilarated.

Despite their happiness, Vivi and Sunoo were mindful of the challenges they faced. They knew that balancing their relationship with their friendships and academic responsibilities required effort and understanding.
