Ch. 87: The Closer We Are... (Part 1)

Kihyun

~on the ferry~

 The smell of sea salt suffocated my nose as we moved toward Jeju-do. A smell that I didn't really like nor did I care for. Sitting on a bench, I watched Minhyuk, Hyungwon,and Changkyun challenging each other to feed seagulls shrimp chips from their hands. All three looked a bit scared but was more than excited to take this challenge. Mingyu and Seunghoon plus our other waiters and bus boys were inside the ferry drinking hot chocolate and coffee that is provided for everyone for free. 

The sun is steadily raising basking everything and everyone in its wake. I closed my eyes and tilted my head upward to feel the warmth of the sun more. Suddenly, someone yells next to my face, "Boo."

I yelped and jumped off the bench to only succeed in head butting the person in question.

"Ow!"

"Oomph."

Clutching onto my forehead, I turned around to face my assailant to find  Hyunwoo looking at me with a shy smile and a hand rubbing the back of his neck.

"What do you think you are doing," I nagged as he dropped his hand back down to his side.

"Surprise?"

I snorted and sat back down to grumble about how people shouldn't scare other people. He laughs awkwardly before sitting down next to me. He tries to put his arm around my shoulders, but I scooted to the other end of the bench so that he couldn't. From the corner of my eye, I saw him pout slightly before coming closer to me. 

I sighed and just nodded. Hyunwoo smiles knowingly and wraps his right arm around my shoulders making me lean against him. As my ear was right against his chest, I could hear his heartbeats. It was oddly soothing.

Unknowingly, I dosed off and clung onto his shirt with my right hand. The last thing I felt before I really dosed off was a kiss on the top of my head.
