Their gazes lingered, only until their faces began leaning toward each other. In a unanimous moment, their lips met each other's, in a kiss not as long as their first, but just as meaningful. Once they broke away, Hansol grabbed Nabi's hand.

"Come," Hansol beckoned, a smile on his face as the two descended down the large grass hill to the left of the parked car. Nabi truly didn't know what to expect, but just being with him in that ambiance was already enough to make her happy. If her friends were looking at her they would have started teasing her over her complete change of personality. It was almost like a switch that flipped within Nabi.

The golden sun cascaded over Hansol's face, showing upon his eyelashes which accompanied his honey-colored eyes. He looked at her, smiling yet again. It was a happiness he didn't even know he was capable of.

As they reached the bottom, Nabi felt the sand touching her ankles, and the sound of the waves flooded her ears. The water to be much calmer, as if the environment had been preparing for this moment, and decided to be gracious.

Hansol gestured to an area in front of them, a gorgeous set up of a blanket with loads of pillows, and an oversized projector in front of the seats. Lanterns adorned the area and the decoration of vines, flowers, and blankets was simply perfection.

Nabi gasped, "This is gorgeous, Sol." The nickname almost sent shockwaves through Hansol. He honestly thought he'd never again be able to experience her serene voice calling him that way, and yet here he was. He grinned, his teeth on full display. "I love that name, y'know." He couldn't help but say something, walking slowly, hand-in-hand, with Nabi.

"I know." Was all she said, a faint smile on her face as she pushed away her hair which danced with the tranquil wind.

Once they'd finally reached the area, Hansol gestured for her to sit first, then decided to sit in the other spot. In front of them was a cascade of food, and as Nabi looked upon the logo on the boxes, she looked at Hansol in surprise.

He laughed. "Is Mexican food okay?"

"This is...the food we had when we first hung out. How-how the hell did you remember that?" She was so in shock that she could only laugh.

Surprisingly, Hansol scooted closer to her, turning to face her directly. "I..know this is gonna sound hella weird. But, I've liked you since that day we bumped into each other at the conference Nabi. And...that feeling has never gone away. So I've consciously remembered everything we've done since that day, and have cherished those memories." Tears brimmed Nabi's eyes.

She simply couldn't believe how one could have so much unconditional love in their heart, and for her, of all people. Her entire life, Nabi had been fed the story that she wasn't worth being loved, and here Hansol was, doing just that, loving her to an extent Nabi didn't believe was possible.

She smiled, wiping her tears away. Hansol looked rather alarmed, his eyebrows moving in worry as he began to wipe her tears as well. "Are you okay, did-did I say anything wrong? I'm sorry if I did I-"

"I love you, Hansol." He stopped, and with him did every surrounding sound and person. Hansol almost wanted to yell out of happiness, and as he glanced upon the girl who so vulnerably opened her heart to him, he could only begin to cry as well. "I love you too, so much." He grabbed her hands, holding them close to his heart as they stared into each other's tear-filled eyes.

At a certain point, they began almost laughing.

"Thank you." Was all Hansol said, once his minimal laughter had calmed, and his tears had somewhat dried.
