24 - Blue

☆ Beginning of Season 2 ☆

In-Woo felt as if there was someone watching him. So he turned around and walked towards the object hiding in the dark. As his steps inched closer, he heard a cat's meow.
He breathed out in relief. From the past few days, he has always felt being watched and followed. But everytime the events turned out to be his suspicion, not the reality.

"Hello?", Jae's voice echoed through the speaker.

"Yeah, I am listening", In-Woo said.

"Uh-so..Tomorrow is finally our date day then", Jae bit his nails waiting for In-Woo's reply.

"Hmm. Tomorrow!", In-Woo confirmed.

"See you then", Jae shyly pressed his lips in a thin line.

In-Woo hanged up the phone. Too bad, only if he could see that shy-baby face!

Woo-Jin's eyes were fixed at Jae throughout the conversation. He was at a loss of words to see this 'lover boy' side of his dearest friend.

"Men in love are surely dogs", he muttered under his breath.

"Did you say something?", Jae inquired.

"Nothing. Gotta sleep", he hid under the sheets not arguing further.

Jae was still smiling. The past week had been mentally exhausting for him. He almost thought In-Woo would never forgive him but after receiving a call and sorting out everything he could finally sleep peacefully.

The next morning Jae drove to In-Woo's apartment. On his way, he saw a flower shop and decided to stop by.

"Hello young man. What flowers are you looking for?", the florist greeted.

"I don't have much knowledge about flowers but I just want to give something which the receiver never forgets", Jae said.

"Forget-me-not", she smiled.

"Huh?"

"You want the receiver to remember the flowers or remember you?", she picked out a bouquet of blue flowers.

Jae was confused by her statement.

"These flowers symbolize true love, and just as the name implies, they are given in the hope that 'they' or should I say the 'sender' will never be forgotten.", she handed them to Jae.

The flowers were fresh and brimming. Their sight was too blinding that Jae could not help but inhale their fragrance.

"Your person will love them and always remember you", she beamed.

"Thankyou Miss", Jae smiled back.

Jae bought the flowers and hid them in the back seat. In-Woo was already waiting for him outside the apartment. He looked so beautiful, although was dressed in a casual white hoodie, his lethal face card could never be denied.

"Good morning", he said as he seated in the car.

"Morning", Jae smiled.

"So where are you taking me?", he turned his head in Jae's direction.

"To the beach", Jae was already looking at him.

"Look at the road", In-Woo ordered.

"As you say", Jae faced towards the front.

"Let's play some music", In-Woo connected his phone to the car's Bluetooth.

Jae didn't know In-Woo was so much into music that he had memorized all the lyrics by his heart. Even he was a music lover but surely couldn't compete with In-Woo's level. The entire car ride blasted with In-Woo's singing (screaming), which was really a pain in ass (ear) for Jae.

Upon reaching, Jae parked his car while In-Woo walked towards the beach, which Jae took as an opportunity to finally take out the flowers. He hid them behind his back and ran to match up In-Woo's pace.

During summers, this beach usually remained crowded but since it was winter time, hardly any person could be seen here. The blue waves looked as if they mixed with the blue sky.

"In-Woo", Jae called out.

In-Woo turned around only to find Jae kneeling down on his knees with blue flowers in his hands. He was moved.

"Do you know what flowers are these?", Jae asked.

"Forget-me-not", In-Woo's eyes shone.

"You knew?", Jae was taken back.

"I saw them in 'The King Eternal Monarch' bro", In-Woo replied. "I love Lee Min Ho. That drama was freaking awesome. Not only that, every drama of his is a masterpiece. He is a legend. He is a lord. I worship him. He is everything."

Jae was at a loss of words. He didn't know what to say. Here he was on his knees and his lover was blabbering about another man. A MAN IS A MAN EVEN IF HE IS A CELEBRITY.

He simply stood up and scoffed.

"Wait! Wait! You're not jealous right?", In-Woo questioned . He could not believe Jae was mad at him.

In-Woo tried so hard to control his laughter upon seeing Jae being jealous of his celebrity crush but failed.

He just laughed and hugged Jae in his arms,"You're cute at times."

Jae hugged him back,"Don't you ever say you're 'worshipping' some other guy that's not me."

"Oh god! You are really something", In-Woo pulled away from the hug and looked at the blue flowers.

"Aren't they beautiful?", Jae handed them to In-Woo.

In-Woo touched the flowers, "They are very beautiful." He brought them to his nose and breathed them in.

"Forget-me-not", Jae whispered it's name.

'I will never forget you', said In-Woo's inner voice.

That day the sun was shining bright. The blue waves, blue sky and blue flowers all added a new fragment of memory in In-Woo and Jae's heart. They both walked barefooted, hand-in-hand, fingers interlocked, leaving the imprints of their foot on the soft sand. It was indeed a beautiful date.
