THE CAMPSITE

~ 13 ~

* 3 months later *

"Wow, this looks amazing." Areum gasps as she walks around, the brown haired boy follows her. A couple of weeks ago the campsite was finally done rebuilding and ready to start. Areum wasn't able to take a look at it because something happend at her company and she was the one who had to fix it. Now everything is okay again and she finally got time to see how it all looks. BM insisted to go with her, god knows why.
"Yeah right? It really turned out the right way." BM smiles and looks around aswell. "Mina did a good job." Areum wishpers. "Hey, we all did. You should not forget what you did for her, you really helped her a lot." BM wraps his arm around the smaller girl her shoulders. He stands behind her like that for a couple of seconds. Areum feels her heart starting to beat faster, her cheeks are slowly turning red. She can never look or think normal about BM without thinking back to those moments where she thought that he was cute and really handsome. Ofcourse, she always knew her friends were handsome but she never knew BM was the sort of boy she would like. But now she is afraid he might not feel the same for her and she doesn't want to ruin her friendschip with him.
When BM lets go of the girl an empty feeling takes her over, she almost wanted to grab his arms and stop him from removing them, but she could stop herself just on time.
"You are really acting weird lately." BM says from out of nowhere. Areum looks at him, not sure what to answer on that. "I-I am the s-same as always." she stutters, she looks down at the ground. Knowing she would drown in his beautiful brown eyes if she looked at them.
"No you are not." BM chuckles. "I never heard you stutters in all those years I've known you, but the last couple of weeks stuttering is al you do. At least, when you're talking to me." The boy tries to look Areum in her eyes but she is refusing to look up.
"J.Seph said something to me a couple of days ago." he starts, he looks around, no one is here. The campsite looks completely empty eventhough there are a couple of people camping here already. Areum had helped promoting the campsite, so that there would be people coming this year already. Next year the whole campsite will be full, she is convinced of that.
"What did he say?" Areum asks, she turn around and walks towards the pool, followed by BM.
"He said that you might see me as more than a friend. That there is a chance you like me." BM answers. Areum stands still, it looks like she is completely frozen. "I told him that we are just close friends, but when I said that, I felt in my heart that I was wrong about that. I know I lied to him back then, because if I am hundred percent honest, I really really like you. I would love to be the one holding your hand when you're walking down the pavement, the one you think of when you can't sleep. I want to be the boy who makes you smile when you feel like crying, the one who takes care of you not only when you're sick but everyday, even when you don't necessarily need help."
Areum is speechless, she has no clue what to say about this.
BM laughs. "I think I said some things I should not have, but that's the way I feel and I just wanted you to know."
Areum turns to the boy and looks him in the eyes. His beautiful dark brown eyes who always tell her the truth. For her it was always easy to read BM's eyes, they always told her exactly how he felt, but lately she didn't look him in the eyes that much.
"BM, I am sorry, but I really don't know what I have to say now." she mumbles.
"Well, I guess your eyes are telling me enough." BM pulls the girl closer to him, he gently cups her face with hands. Both of them are slowly getting closer until their lips touch. BM places his hands on Areum her back, he pulls her even closer to him, for as far that is possible. Areum closes her eyes and kisses him back, a bomb of adrenaline flows through her body, her lips are tingeling from the soft en gentle touch of BM his lips on hers.
