A Love like Weather?

Summer 2

I had a week left. Losing that bitterness of being alone, I wore shorts and large shirt ready for an adventure. I put on trainers, ready to walk down the small forest and climbing some mountains.

I took a deep breath once outside the hotel. The weather was sunny with a fresh air blowing; it was perfect for a walk.

""Do you mind me joining you?"

I was so absorbed in my thoughts; I jumped at the face beside mine. I was so surprised seeing him bending over to my level.

"What are you doing here?" I admit, I panicked thus forgot his question and instead asked one.

"I'm spending my holidays here." He made a thinking face. "I saw you from afar, and since we're both alone, I figured we could use each other's company."

He looked so at ease with me, I looked around him; the witch was nowhere to be seen.

"Ga In left, she had work to handle."

He looked uncomfortable; I smiled to suppress the weird atmosphere.

"I wanted to take a walk around, I'd use some company."

I smiled to him inviting him along with me.

It was my first time at Jejudo. He told me he came by often since he loves the beach. He was a total pro in here, showing me around and taking me wherever I wanted to go.

I had exactly 7 days before I depart. After I met Seung Gi, we headed to Geomunoreum Lava Tube System.

Since it was early in the morning, we started with Crater Course: a little walk around nature. We found a guided tour and Seung Gi told me it's better to see more. From Lava Gorge, Aloreum Observatory, Cave–Charcoal Kiln, Punghyeol Volcanic Bombs to Byeongcham Road and finally Sujikgol. It took us two hours, we continued alone until Summit which took another hour and a half.

He held my hand when I couldn't walk in the slippy cave; he waited whenever I could walk and allowed me to rest.

"It's lunch time, some sea food suits the day. What do you want to eat?"

He cheered, arriving down the city. I was too tired to think of anything else.

"If you know a near place I won't say no."

He smiled and led me to a small place, it was near the beach and many fishermen were there working. I put my hand on my nose since the smell was too strong.

"I'm sorry; I didn't ask whether you would love to eat in such a place."

We were in the corner, and from the look I gave my surroundings, he knew I wasn't found of the place.

"It's okay, I hope they have a good menu."

"Their food is the best. "He gave me a thump up.

An ahjumma brought us two servings of abalone's stew and side dishes. Seung Gi stood up and bowed greeting her. She hugged him and patted his face; I seriously thought she was his mother.

"Who is this lovely lady?" She asked him, I stood and bowed.

"I'm Moon Chae Won, nice to meet you." I blushed and said shyly.

She smiled widely and hugged me too.

"Finally you met a nice girl. She said. Please, don't let this boy slip out of your hands, he's a keeper."

I was red and so was Seung Gi, she misunderstood. He explained to her that we're just friends; she gave us a side look but then just let us enjoy our food.
