He climbed up onto the slightly raised 'plant pot' made around the tree and helped me up.
"Where are we going?" I gushed as he led me through thick curtains of cherry blossoms.
Their soft petals brushed off my face.
"My favourite place in this whole camp, its gorgeous!"
I trusted him and his warm hand in mine provided comfortation.
I dont even know this guy but I'm trusting him to bring me through an isolated area? Crazy.
When we finally got through the thick curtains he covered my eyes making me gasp.
"Ok ready?"
I felt electric energy running through my body.
"Yes!"
"One...two...three..."
He released his hand from my eyes ans they widened as they took in all the beauty. There was a largw ring of short grass around the thick black trunk of the tree, the whole area waz glowing in pink which swirled from dark to light pink as the branches swayed thw flowers.
"Oh...my..god!" I gasped and he laughed.
"Its way better at night," he started as i snapped pictures of everuthing in sight. I knew I'd never be able to capture the beauty in a picture but I had to try.
"Theres fire flies glowing everywhere,"
"Can we come here tonight?" I blurted.
For gods sake what have you done.
He looked a bit surprised but then smiled.
"Sure!"
We sat down at the thick black trunk beside eachother as I continued to take pictures.
"So , I don't really know anything about you..." he said, slightly distracted by the constant clicking of my camera.
I always felt embarrasd talking about myself so I tried to put off the question.
"I don't know much about you?"
He smiled.
"Oh, Well, I'm Taehyung but everyone calls me Tae,"
Tae.
"Ehmmm, I'm nineteen, still going on holiday with my parents but I don't live with them! I'm in music college, I'm a trainee at Bighit!"
My eyes widened. Suddenly nervous. I was sitting beside a possible Idol.
"Oh...wow! A trainee?"
"Yeah, I was so lucky to get this long of a holiday! Its going to be my last one for a long time." He looked a bit sad.
I smiled at him reassuringly.
"Well! Lets make sure you have the best holiday ever then!"
He smiled.
"Thanks hah."
We stopped for a second .
"Anyway tell me about you!"
Great. "Oh ehmm, its nothing as interesting as your life I assure you."
He leant back on the tree, fiddling with some grass. "What!? Why would I care! Ordinary lifes are the best lifes!"
I frowned abit.
"Okay... eh, I'm Chunja, I'm nineteen in..." I looked at my phone briefly to see the date. "...four days! I live by myself and I work in a cáfe."
I blushed . He's going to think I'm talentless.
"Wow! We'll have to celebrate. And, I'd
Love to work in a cáfe , it sounds great!"
I smiled. "Thanks, not that great though!"
"Hobbies?" He asked.
"Art, I like drawing! A bit of horseriding too!"
"I love drawing too!" I sat up from thw tree surprised.
"Really?" I smiled.
"Yeah, I mean I'm no Da Vinci but!"
I laughed.
"I like dancing and singing ! But that's  really it!"
"Can you sing for me?" I asked.
I doubted he would but he did.
He sang some of 'MY LOVE' by Lee Seung Cheol. My heart and mouth honestly dropped. He sounded like an angel even without autotune and music.
"W-wow..." I gushed .
For the first time I saw him blush slightly.
"Thanks alot! I would ask you to show me your drawing skills but I think you need at least a pencil for that!"
We laughed .
I looked at thw timw briefly, knowing I had been out for a while.
11:02
"Oh god! I- I have to go!"
I stood up brushing down my shorts.
He looked a bit upset.
"Oh why?"
"My parents will be expecting me back ,
I think we're going to town or something," Father always ended his nap at 11:30.
"Oh, well I can walk you back ?"
I paused thinking. "Eh, sure."
We walked briskly back to our lot, I learned so much about his job on the way, about the endless hours of work, extreme diets and strict relationship rules. I felt my heart sink at every word. What a hard life compared to mine. I told him about my cáfe job and boring life which he yearned for.
We arrived outside my caravan and smiled as we said goodbye . We walked off to his while I walked up the stairs to mine.
What a day.
