It Started with a Joke ( 2 Moons | Pha Yo | Ming Kit | Forth Beam )

*Bonus: In the Sun's Eclipse

<Sun's POV>

He is dead, dead, dead. I can't believe In could be that insensitive. After all we've been through, he should have already known how I would react. This is Nam all over again, not that I hated my bestfriend, it just hurt me before, the way he was looking at her. It crushed me when I confessed to him that I really liked him, like "like-like" him. I gathered all the courage that I had, I mustered in and dove for that kiss, slowly. I inched my face towards his, him looking at me and smiling and I was in heaven, and then when we were only centimeters apart, he blurted that he liked Nam. It was a very devastating blow, one that almost landed me in P'Ken's arms but then In eventually got jealous and asked me to be back with him. At first I wasn't sure, but I just love the guy, stupid, I know.

I should've know that he's still not totally invested in this relationship. I must have been riding the high of him wanting me back, supposedly, but that's just how it works, the one who loves more gets hurt more. This is the last straw, I tried to be civil about this but now I know that anything I try is in vain. *Sigh*

Strolling farther from where I was before, I find myself lost in thought. It feels like I'm drowning in my insecurities and I hate it. I try to hush the doubts swirling in me right now and decided to focus on how I can just try and enjoy the scenery.

I settled myself on a hammock in between two palm trees and just inhaled how beautiful the place is. Crystal blue seas and the emerald islands surrounding it as well as the people who are just enjoying themselves. There's also a concert nearby, not too big, there were guests singing along. I see a couple pass by, they looked so cute, kinda looked peculiar though, one with a bowl cut and the other one a buzzhead. Huh, weird. I continued daydreaming when all of a sudden I feel something cold brush by my face.

"I looked for you all over this place you know."

It was In. He has two soda bottles with him. Ugh. He's smiling so cute-like, it's nauseating. Does he think that it'll be easy for me to forgive him? No way. I jumped off the hammock and made my way to the beach, ignoring him.

In: "You can't get away from me you know, you love me too much."

He called for me in that very annoying voice of his. I wanted to scream at his words, that arrogant spoiled kid. He always thinks he can get away with anything because of that annoyingly cute, err, irritating smile of his. Although, deep in my heart I know that he's right. I just can't let him have the upper-hand, no, not this time.

Sun: "In, there's something that I want to say."

In: "Freakin, finally. What is it my love?"

Sun: "I... I... I wan... I want to break up." There, I just blurted out the words that have been welling up since this incident. In was speechless, he just stared at me blankly.

Sun: "You were right, I love you way too much but that's precisely the problem. I have always been the one carrying this relationship. It was never an us, it was just me and you."

In: "I... no... please Sun... don't... you can't."

I was looking down when I blurted those words, and now that I look up at his face. I see tears starting to form. He looked like he just had a loved one die.

Sun: "I don't hate you, don't worry about that. I can never hate you. It's just that, I'm tired, of all the games, of chasing you, of never being appreciated. I want to live life for myself now. Be happy for a change. And maybe find someone who will at least put an effort to make me feel loved."

In: "So, you really weren't happy when you were with me? Was I that selfish to not see it?"

Sun: "Everything was fine, and that's what's wrong with it. Love is not supposed to be "just fine", it's supposed to be crazy and stupid and you know what, whatever..."

In: "Sun, I really can't believe you're telling me this, please believe me when I say I do love you, so much. I don't want to lose you, I can't."

Sun: "I know you do, but probably not in that way. I realized this when I saw you looking like your enjoying those girls' attention. Trust me this is what's good for the both of us. Maybe in the future you'll be able to come into terms with what you really feel about me but until then, I have to reassess everything."

I did not hear a response but I was sure he ran away from me. This is it, I said to myself. I have to learn how to be okay without him.

I started walking but I did not notice the fact that tears steamed down my face. Just like the time he told me that he liked Nam. I wiped my tears and just smiled. I am an idiot.

A few steps in and I heard a booming sound and then a breathless voice.

"Sun! Before you decide on anything else, let me tell you what I feel about your right now! I know you're thinking that I never appreciated you but you're wrong. I love everything about you. I love how you crinkle your nose when you're upset with me. I love your girly giggle when I annoy you with my corny jokes. I love how you are so kind to everyone including me even if I bullied you before. I love how you smell when we cuddle. I love kissing you, morning breath or not. Above all, I love the fact that you love me so much and I get to call you my boyfriend. Here's a little song to remind you of that. I know this meant different for you before but now it's me, singing to you."

"I love only you, I just want you to know
The friend you trusted doesn't exist anymore
All that's left is just one person who can't hide their love anymore.", In repeated from the song.

In: "I know how I feel, since day 1, I just never realized it until the day I almost lost you! After that, I fully realized how much you mean to me and how lost I am without you. We were never friends to begin with, we are soulmates."

I snapped out of all the sensory overload in my brain right now only to be face to face with In. I slowly realized that all eyes are on us.

In: "I just confessed to you in front of hundreds of people who barely give a shit, but I really am hoping against hope that this will make you see how you stand. Sun, I love you so much and now everyone knows it as proof to you of my sincerity."

Before I can say anything, he slammed his face onto mine with as much passion as he fully possesses. I reciprocate the kiss, pulling in, deeper until we both feel out of breath. I mustered all energy to ask the most important question.

Sun: "Do you really think my giggle is girly?"

In: "Who cares, as long as that giggle is reserved for me, I'm good."

Sun: "I love you too."

He was showering me with butterfly kisses and I can't help but smile because this idiot belongs to me, and I to him.

A/N: Soooo, here I am! I have no excuses for being so so so late for this update but life caught up to me. I was just so busy with work and personal stuff, so it was kinda difficult too. I hoped you liked the story, even tho it was long overdue, it was a bonus because they don't belong with the main couples.

Oh did you guess who the couple Sun saw were? Feel free to comment, like, share, and vote. It is truly appreciated. Also do remember that any questions or suggestions are also welcome.
