Chapter 23

Yannie's POV

We made our way out of the van and I have one word and three letters to say: WOW!

The beach is breathtaking! But this isn't our main itinerary. We're just going to check-in in the hotel and put our things before proceeding to the main highlight of our trip.

The beach is as beautiful as Boracay but not as crowded as it is. There are few foreigners and locals near the shore. Most of the locals are here for the business such as cottage renting and tourist guiding.

Unfortunately, the couple cannot join us because of Jiwon. Somi said he's not feeling well so they'll just rest together. It's a good thing that we're staying here for 2 days. They can still make it up for tomorrow.

I get my sunblock out of my bag and started putting some on my legs and arms. I just finished taking a bath and Hanbin just followed. I put some on my tummies and back and of course, my face and neck.

He get out of the bathroom with his rash guard on paired with a typical beach shorts. I looked at him with a confused face.

"Ya! What's with that look?" He asked.

"Why are you wearing rush guard?"

"I don't want to expose my body. Why? You wanna see my abs?" He joked. I rolled my eyes on him.

I took my robe off and showed him my one-piece swimsuit. Hanbin's eyes were glued on my body. Suddenly, he sighed and shook his head off.

"Why?" I was bothered with his reaction.

"You're going out with that wardrobe?"

"Obviously... yes?"

"No," He said firmly and looked away.

"Yes!" I exclaimed.

"I said no!" He shouted.

"Seriously, what's your problem?! We're on a beach and this is the proper attire for beaches!" I shouted back.

"Listen, I am the only one who has the right to see your body. I don't want others to lewd out over it. Understand?" He moved closer to me. Wait. He's just an inch away from me!

"O-okay. I'll c-change now," I stuttered. I didn't know he is very protective. Or more like, possessive?

I sighed and grab my rash guard and beach shorts. I went to the bathroom and change.

"Satisfied?" I asked him.

"Better," He smiled and pulled me in a hug.

"I'm sorry for shouting at you," He whispered. I wrapped my hands to his waist and caressed his back.

"Gwaenchanha," (It's okay) whispered back. He pulled out from the hug and kissed the tip of my nose.

'DUGDUG. DUGDUG.'

"You're mine Lé Annie Alexia."

We wore life jackets and rode the boat. It takes an hour before we finally reach the sand bar and wow. I've never seen a paradise like this in my entire life.

It's only me and Hanbin whose on the sand bar as of now, including the operator of the boat we rode. We're only three in total! Oh my gosh! This is what you call paradise.

I told Hanbin to pose. I took photos of him and he took photos of me after. We also asked the operator to take photos of me and Hanbin.

There are 9 photos of us together. The first two is when Hanbin carried me on his back; candid and the other one is planned.

The second two is Hanbin hugging me from behind and as usual, there's candid and planned.

The third one is when Hanbin kneeled in front of me.

The fourth picture is me and Hanbin seating on the shore together; the first one is when he's beside me and the second one is when we went on my back.

The fifth one is when we're looking eye to eye while his hands are wrapped around my waist and mine onto his nape. The last one is the most beautiful picture among the rest. It was when Hanbin kissed me on my lips. I set it as my home wallpaper.

We thanked the boat operator and he went back on the boat to rest. Hanbin intertwined his fingers on mine. We walked together away from the boat operator. We didn't notice that it's already sunset. I think its around 5:00 - 5:15 pm.

We sat on the shore together, still not letting go of our hands. I leaned my head to his shoulder. The sunset is breathtaking. We're both mesmerized by the beauty of the sunset and of course, the sand bar.

"Hanbin-ah..." I called his name and broke the silence.

"Hmm?"

I sighed deeply, " I don't want you to wait any longer," I seem to caught his attention. He looked at me waiting for the next words that will come out of my lips.

"You have my Dad's blessing, you have my heart and you have proven yourself to me..." I looked directly on his eyes.

"I know you already know that I love you, right?" He nodded as an answer. My heart's beating so fast. This is it. I am now officially ending his long suffer.

"Kim Hanbin-ah, you're now officially my boyfriend," I smiled. He blinked a few times.

"Is this for real..." He almost whispered. Tears started to fell on his eyes.

"Yes. I am finally yours now. I am now your girlfriend and you are now my boyfriend," I smiled and squeezed his hand.

"Oh my goodness! Yes! Finally! Woooh!" He stand up and shouted. I was smiling like a crazy man in here. He lifted my feet on the ground and spun me around.

He soon put me down. Once again he shouted.

"MAHAL KITA LÉ ANNIE ALEXIA!" (I love you) He kissed me, but this time, full of love. It was quick but passionate.

I looked at him and smiled, "NOMU SARANGHAEYO KIM HANBIN!" I shouted back and we laughed together.

It was the first laugh that we share as couples. Yes, couples, because Kim Hanbin is officially mine.
