Inspiration: Thanks/고맙다 by seventeen
"Hey Haru."
He raises his head from the water. Reacting to your sweet voice.
"Shouldn't we head home? It's getting pretty late."
He looks around. Seeing the pastel orange and yellow sunset covering the now almost dark sky. He pulls himself out of the pool.
Handing him a towel which he gladly takes.
"I'm going to get changed."
With that he disappeared into the locker room.
You and Haru have been dating for couple months. Even though you were a year younger than Haru, you both felt something between you two.
One day, you asked Gou-your best friend- if you could swim in the swimming pool after school and since you loved being in the water.
After school, thanks to Gou's permission, you dived into the water.
The cold liquid hits you. Trying to push you back to the surface but you fight your way in. Gliding your arms, stroke after stroke.
In the water, you don't hear anything but yourself gliding in the water. Everything was peaceful. Everything was perfect and quiet till....
"Who are you?" Startled by a male voice, you searched and found the owner of the voice standing behind you.
A boy with deep blue hair. Eyes marbling, clear as the ocean water.
Smiling, you answered.
"I'm (Y/N)." Bringing your arm out, holding it up for a hand shake.
Taken aback by your reaction, he held up his, meeting yours.
"What's you name?" You spoke as you shook his hand.
"Haru.
"Well, Nice to meet you Haru."
From that day, you joined the swim team. Even though you loved water, your swimming skill wasn't the best so you decided to help them out with Gou.
Time goes on, your friendship with them begin to grow.
One particular friendship bloomed into love.
"Hey (Y/N)."
"Yes Haru?"
"I would like to go out with you."
Smiling ear to ear, you responded
"Of course."
Since that day, you two have been sharing feelings to each other... Or so you thought.
His lack of affection in the relationship made you feel alone. But you still smiled. Smiled for him. Still laughed. Laughed for him but in the inside you were lost.
"Have a good evening Haru." Grinning, you waved goodbye towards him.
Without any expression, he waved you goodbye back. Walking away without turning back to give you a kiss or simply a hug.
Sighing, you walk away. Wondering once more about your relationship.
I lived today so I can love you tomorrow.
But is this love real?
Does he actually love me?
