sunrise | bae joohyun & son seungwan

04

it was just a summer thing.
i had to convince myself that it was just a summer thing.
just one kiss.
and there won't be more.

– wait, you're going to the local high school when summer's over?! yeri exclaims with her mouth full of food. seulgi hits the back of the youngest's head and tells her to swallow before talking.
– well yeah, there isn't really any other places to go, wendy says with that adorable giggle of hers.
– awesome! we go there, hopefully we're all in the same class! cries joy.

we hang out for a little while longer, then part ways, since seulgi and joy had a dance class and yeri had to go to soccer practice. me and wendy had nothing planned though, so we decided to go to her house and i'd sleep over.

when night hits, we're just laying in her bed and staring at her ceiling, the fairy lights seeming like stars. there wasn't much talking involved though, much to my displeasure.
i wanted to hear her voice.

– i can see colours now.
– oh, so the girl isn't colourblind anymore! what happened?
– i don't know..
(i met you)
– so... what's your favourite colour now?
– i like the colours of the sunrise.
(also your pink lips and dark brown eyes)
– cute! me too, she said with a smile bright enough to see through the dimly lit room.

and silence.

i don't care, though, i had heard her voice and that's all i needed.

and so we fall half asleep, the absence of words comforting us, her steady breath lulling me to sleep. the faint light of the fake stars made me able to see her baby face when sleeping, her squishy cheeks laying on my chest as i ran my fingers through her hair. i eventually stopped, and everything was immobile, silent, calm. our breaths synced and our hands intertwined without realizing, like they were meant for eachother, her leg going over mine, our thighs touching and her leftover hand laying on my stomach.

this was bliss.

but then she whispered something, probably expecting me to be asleep.

– you know my favourite colour? i thought it was the colours of the sunrise, but then i saw your pink cheeks and dark brown eyes. and you know my favourite song? it's either the sound of your heartbeat or your shaky breath when i hold your hand. and my favourite food became the taste of your cherry lips after i kissed you. you're my favourite in everything. everything became so beautiful after i met you, and i'm so thankful. i seen so many beautiful things since then, but you're still my favourite. i-

– i love you.

instead of answering, she smiled and climbed on top of me, cupped my cheeks and kissed me with all the passion i've ever felt.
and something electric ran through me.

and you probably know what happened next.

pray that her parents are the deepest sleepers ever.
