Beach Days [JaeSeong]

Chapter Seven

We stay by the rock today. We talk about everything and anything. He seems really passionate about music and art. I show him a few of the photos I took. He seems really amazed by them.
- These are fantastic! You're really good.
- I like to photograph the nature. It's always changing, you know. When I take a photo of it, I capture a moment that will never be the same as it was on the second I took it.
- It's amazing how you think so much about these things. The photos, the ocean, everything has such a deep meaning for you.
- You do that with your songs - I shrug.
- I suppose it's true. But you're still amazing.
He pushes me lightly.
- Hey! - I push him back.
Suddenly we're running around the beach trying to catch each other. I can't stop laughing while he screams and run away. I finally get close enough to push him again, but before falling he holds my wrist and we fall together. It was not romantic though. He fell on his back and I somehow managed to fall with my legs on his chest. Trying not to laugh too much I ask:
- Oh god, are you okay?
- Besides the fact that I just had sand for lunch and you kicked my chest I'm great!
He laughs while trying to get up.
- I'm sorry, I wasn't exactly planning on kicking your chest.
I reply with a hand on his direction to help him get up.
- It's okay, I haven't laugh like that for so long it was worth it.
- So, me kicking you was worth it because you laughed so much?
- Exactly, you can call me weird now.
- You're weird. I like it. - I smile and try to get the sand out of my hair. He comes closer to me and hugs me out of nowhere. I don't know where that came from but then he's spinning me around like a child, and I hold his shoulders with both of my arms tight enough so I won't just fly around. When he stops we nearly fall again, but we help each other to keep our balance. But he doesn't let me go and I hug him closer, putting my head on the crook of his neck and my arms around it. He rests his head on mine and places his hands around my waist, delicately this time. Without moving I say:
- Thank you, hyung.
- For what?
- For being here with me.
- I'll be there every time you need me.
- I'll be there when you need me too.
After a few minutes of silence he says:
- I'd love to stay like this but I have to go now.
He rubs his face against mine like a little kitten would.
- When can I come to yours tomorrow?
- I'll wait for you outside your school, how's it?
- Great. See you there. - I kiss his cheek and let go of his hug. I start walking away when I listen his reply.
- Can't wait to see you again!
I turn around and smile at him. He smiles and waves before turning around and going back home.
