Spring Moon

40

At the first moment I finally got out of the car, and stepped into the soiled ground - eyes squinted due to the bright sunlight, I was satisfied.

Everything - the calmness of the village, the nice scenery that had been an eye-candy, and the accommodation. The accommodation! I should've expected this, shouldn't I? It was a traditional house - two separate buildings on both sides facing each other and in the middle was the space for our own entertainment for what I assumed was for cooking, playing and any other preferences of our own. There were lounge chairs near the flower bushes and I already imagined how it would be so useful if we wanted to stargaze at night.

For now, everything about this place was up to my liking. All were set in a package - tiptop view, calmness and most importantly secluded from attention.

My boyfriend made a good decision.

We unknowingly were lining up horizontally as soon as we walked through the gate skimming the area - amusement popping here and there at every new finding we could catch. The owner - quite an elderly lady, mirroring us with a wide grin on her face as she looked at us one by one. I accidentally met her gaze at last and she chuckled when she trailed her gaze to my hand.

Of course, I was invested in such a reaction. So, I looked down at my hand as well to find out the cause and little did I know I had a shock myself - I'd been holding on Kevin's sleeve.

"You cute couples!" The old woman beamed, clapping in the process. "You guys are on trio dates, don't you?"

Trio?

Then, it clicked. We had been standing in pairs which made...

"I'm sorry but she's not my girlfriend," Chanhee spoke up, pointing at Faye next to him. "Oh my god, I don't want to imagine that either."

"Do you think I would want to date you?" The girl backfired, a slap was then landed on Chanhee's bony arm. "I have a boyfriend!"

Then, it escalated to a childish fight and the rest of us needed to step in to stop them, separating them into different sides. But, the old woman was laughing.

"It's always started like that... bickering and then loving..." She said which made my eyes twitch.

"What the..." I couldn't finish my curse because Kevin heard me mumbling and he nudged me to stop whatever thoughts I had.

No hate whatsoever, but I felt some sort of awkwardness to have an old woman who was a stranger to speculate our relationship. It just couldn't be registered inside my head why they were so invested in young people's love lives.

"Anyway, the girls' room is on the left side and the boys' room is on the right side," she finished up, still with that questioning smile on her face. "I'm living just 50m away, so, anything just get me there."

At that, she then left us to settle in but what we did was sprawling on the floor of each room, door widely opened. The gap between the two rooms wasn't that big, only 10 feet which allowed us to use the rooms as the shade.

"What should we do here?" Faye questioned the obvious, exchanging looks with all of us.

"Kev... you have planned everything right?" Jacob hit the latter's butt who was lying on the floor like a starfish which earned a groan before Kevin sat up.

He raked his hair - well, handsomely, and his lips parted as he stared into the space. He must be recalling all the plans he made. So, this is what it feels like to follow others. As far as I remember, every time we were hanging out, I was the planner. I didn't know for what reason they asked me to do it, but yes, I didn't enjoy it.
