Chapter 6 | Cup Noodles

───── ⋆ ˚。 ⋆୨♡୧⋆ ˚。 ⋆ ─────

Someone has said that the feelings of winter beach and the summer beach are especially different. I read about that in a book, but I couldn't remember exactly. I scratched my head and looked at the cool sky above my head leaning over the railing.

The air seemed fresh since early in the morning, but the bright sky was dazzling white. Under the splendor, there were the dotted shadows of the land and the wavy ocean with a sea breeze.

While looking at the dark ocean, I thought it would not be so shocking to see a monster coming out from it.

As I looked down the railing in silence, someone tapped my shoulder. I turned back with surprise. When I looked back, I was greeted with the gorgeous smile of Ban Yeoryeong. She looked a little embarrassed since I was not as surprised as she expected.

She then bent her beautiful black eyes. With that, she went beside me and leaned at the railing. She also looked down the dark swirling waters under our feet.

To be honest, it was not that delightful of a view. Above the water that broke into white waves on the gray cement wall, trashes like plastic bottles, cans, and inflatables were floating. However, Yun Nari remained unfazed and still had her gorgeous smile at them.

She seemed to value all of us spending time together than the actual getaway. It was true as she took away her gaze from the sea.

"I feel so happy."

As she spoke, the breeze blew and sparkled her pitch-black hair. The tip of her nose turned red as she simpered. I responded with a big smile. I had always thought that people rarely saw her silly little smiles.

It wasn't even a year since I first met Ban Yeoryeong with the acknowledgment that we are standing toe to toe, human-to-human, instead of viewing her as just a female protagonist. How many things have happened between us to face each other like this? Something came into life inside me. I stared at her beautiful black eyes with that emotion in mind.

Her hands that swept her hair back with the breeze were delicate and soft like an instrument. Then, she looked at me and smiled.

"Why?"

I was stunned by her for a moment and shook my head. Then I saw her keeping the lips tight.

I asked, "Are you cold?"

"Yeah, a little bit."

She replied with a grin. I thought for a while, looking down and took out the scarf on my neck. Then I came towards Ban Yeoryeong with a smile and wrapped her with my scarf up to her nose.

Yun Nari also came trotting happily over to the two of us, wrapping her scarf around Ban Yeoryeong's head. However, it was me who encountered something unexpected afterward. She dashed towards the two of us and gave us a big hug.

My eyes burst in my surprise. I grinned and slowly tapped their backs.

When thinking of how much she had been through heartaches, there was plenty of reasons for her to react like that to us.

Looking at her eyes filled with tears, I asked them, "Hey, but where are the Four Heavenly Kings?"

"Who?" Yeoryeong gave me an odd look.

A muffled sound seemed to come out from the lips hidden beneath the scarf. It was not that hard to understand though. I tried to explain but my grimace didn't seem at all convincing.
