"Its a crab!" He runs ahead to look at the marvelous creature. I smile; i love seeing his childish fascination with things.
"Glad i brought you here, huh?"
"Yes! Thank you for sharing your secret place with me." His hands gently caress the small figure as he smiles towards me, showing those irresistable dimples.
"Its not that secret." I shrug, knowing this is the city park of my old hometown. I used to live here, by the shore, by these famous tide pools and beaches and caves and cliffs. The beautiful coastline of a small town in California. Then i bumped into Namjoon.
Literally.
I was walking around L.A., anxiously taking in the scenery while awaiting the BTS concert, when i tripped. I slipped right into a man, tall with broad shoulders and smooth form. He turned around and i froze. There he was. He wasn't my bias but i loved him all the same. I apologized as soon as words could form. He, knowing it was an accident, tried to calm me down. "Are you going to be at the concert tonight?"
Those nine words changed my life.
Now, three years later, i return with my husband, showing him my life before we met.
We hiked around along the beaches; splashing in the cold waves, building castles in the warm sand, cuddling in the cool shade. Now, we are at the tide pools. He jumps from rock to rock, taking in all the creatures.
"Theres one more place i want to show you today." I reach out for his hand to pull him back to the sand. He smiles and jumps around excitedly. I take him to a section of caves and tunnels. "I used to play in these." He nodded, smiling at my words. Looking around, he touches the stones, feeling their history. I watched his hands trail across the barren yet scarred walls. My eyes followed the lines the years of powerful ocean waves had left behind. I was staring at the ceiling when i felt arms wrap around my waist. I shake my head, not realising i had 'left' reality for so long. I look behing me and see his dimples.
"Lets go back to the shore, the tide is coming in." I nod and take his gentle hand in mine. We sit on the cooling sand, watching the blood stained clouds fade into the serene blue night. I sigh, content we had this time together.


"I love you."
