If I Could Dance With You Again

IICDWYA: 26

Chapter 26

As soon as Soonyoung finishes in the bathroom, he quickly gets changed. As fast as he could, he had to move. He didn't want to bother the sleeping gorgeousness in the bed. Soonyoung had no time to appreciate the place since he had been there a couple of times now. It was one of their go-to resorts when they had to get away from the city.

Soonyoung remembered they had agreed to visit the café later, but the lady would not be waking up anytime soon. He decided to walk to the café and grab some food so that when Aaliyah wakes up, she has something to eat.

It was just a few minutes ' walk from their villa. The spot was also excellent. The view was magnificent. Soonyoung wanted to show the lady the café, but she looked like she needed a lot of rest.

I understand, Soonyoung thought.

Aaliyah's job was never easy. It requires a lot of effort. Her creativity is also tested. She uses her mind, body, and soul. She's pretty passionate about it, too. That was at least what was on Soonyoung's mind. He could see that the lady loves what she does.

"Hi!" Soonyoung greeted the lady at the counter. He didn't even wait for the girl to respond. "I will get latte–hana. And hot chocolate roasted mallows – hana, too," Soonyoung confidently told the cashier.

The cashier immediately pressed the orders on the machine. "How about pastries, sir? Would you like to add some?" the lady asked politely to the guy.

"Choose something for me," Soonyoung suggested.

"My pleasure, sir," the attendant supposed, and then Soonyoung waited on one of the tables for his order.

It was quick. He knows how the Café also works, and he appreciated the treatment. Soonyoung sprawled his steps back to their cabin. He was smiling. He was also curious about the order, hoping the lady in his room would like it and that she was resting well.

Trailing his steps was fun for him. Suddenly, he just remembered what happened in the ladies' room a while ago. He has never forgotten about that stupid emoji he sent to the lady via text. He was lucky that Aaliyah didn't notice it.

Amusing.

Thinking about the whole thing was so much fun for him. Soonyoung even glanced at the paper bag he was holding. He was excited to open it like a kid, giddily patiently waiting to go home before opening his food or gift.

Unconsciously, he began skipping on his way. He was almost near their room, when...

"Wouldn't those drinks spill off when you keep on doing that? Skipping? Happy?" Soonyoung was startled.

"깜짝이야! Kamjagiya! You scared me!" Soonyoung reacted abruptly.

The person was laughing at him. It was so loud.

"뭐야 (mwoya)? Bianca?" Soonyoung, as usual, was surprised by who just scared him to death. "What are you doing here?" he asked after.

The lady gave Soonyoung an intense look. Then abruptly gave a cheek-to-cheek kiss and a hug. "Is that how you greet someone, oppa? We haven't seen each other in a while. And that is how you are greeting me. I am in pain," the lady sulked quickly.

"Ani! You scared me. I also didn't expect you to be here. I thought you were in the city..." Soonyoung told the lady who was grinning at him. As if she also understood what Soonyoung would say to her later.

"No," with a strong Italian accent. "It's over. I need rest. I am not doing that anymore," Soonyoung sneered at the girl. He then transfers the other bag of food to his left hand and puts his hand on the lady's shoulder as if consoling her.

"That is very right, Bianca. Get some rest, too. It is not the end of the world," Soonyoung gently tapped the girl's shoulder. Bianca gave the guy another look.

Then the girl paused and leaned slightly to the side, seemingly looking at something or someone. She smirked at Soonyoung after. "Yeah. Go on. Make sure to enjoy your stay in Isola," Bianca commented, confusing Soonyoung. "But I also need to say, hi!" Bianca then runs.

Soonyoung also turned around and saw a woman in a white robe on their cabin's front porch, her hair all messed up. He blinked multiple times until it finally sank in what Bianca meant. "A-ani! You were mistaken," Soonyoung mumbled the last part after Bianca ran towards the lady. He was sure that Bianca hadn't heard anything he said.

Soonyoung

How did we end up having this kind of conversation? I was walking back to our cabin when Bianca, Mingyu's friend and now my friend, popped out of nowhere and saw Aaliyah in a very...

Ugh! I could not explain what she looks like.

But yeah, imagine a girl in my room. In my booked room, just that alone. Now, she's wearing a loosely tied white robe, bedroom slippers, and messy hair.

My breathing was even hitched that moment I saw her sleeping on that bed. Now, she was awake. She just woke up.

"Hi! I am Bianca. Don't be mistaken, he is my oppa. You know, friendly oppa. Hoshi oppa is just a friend of mine. He is not actually my type; his friend is, though," Bianca told Aaliyah, who also fixed herself immediately when Bianca approached her.

Before Aaliyah could even talk, nor could I, Bianca said her goodbyes. "Ciao, unnie!" She blew her a kiss and gave her a meaningful wink.

"Take care of her and enjoy the food," she tapped my shoulders too and ran away.

That kiddo.

"I am sorry."
"Mianhe."

We said it together.

"Let's get inside. I got food from the café," I showed her the paper bag. Aaliyah went inside, and I followed her.

Aaliyah turned around and faced me. "I think she got the wrong idea about us. I am sorry." That startled me, but I remained calm.

"She did," I just smiled to show her that it was fine. "And it is okay. Let her be," I still assured her.

"I think I should get changed," she said, and I nodded in agreement. I can't help but get distracted, too. I was glad the robe was high-quality and thick enough.

I prepared the food on the overlooking porch in our bed. Aaliyah also came back. I am glad it suits her. I didn't know why, but the vendor suggested the clothes that I bought for her. There were different types of clothes because I also didn't know what she wanted.

"You bought too many clothes. I was already fine with a shirt and sweatpants," Aaliyah then mentioned.

"Ani. Gwaenchana," I smiled at her.

"I will give you a refund. And by the way, thank you for buying me some. I won't even ask how you knew my undergarment size now," she said.

She was still silly.

"No. I won't accept the refund. Just come and eat with me then," I told her.

Aaliyah was obliged to sit. I put our seats together so we can see the ocean and the sunset from our room.

"Thanks," she said again when she saw the chocolate mallow drinks.

"No. "Thank you for coming with me," I told her.

Aaliyah and I were eating in silence. We were appreciating the food and the view in front of us. The food was excellent, just like always. Aaliyah was silently appreciating it with her gestures, too.

When she became silent, I took a glance at her. Then I almost choked at what she asked all of a sudden...

"Do you like me?"
