Beaches

"Stay here, I'm going to the car for a second," Donghun said turning around.

"You're not going to leave me here, are you?" Junhee asked nervously. Donghun turned around.

"Of course not, I would never," he turned back around and went to the car. Junhee stood on the sand watching the waves hit the sand and the sun starts to set. The sky was a mix of orange, pink, purple, and yellow; the colours mixed beautifully, twisting and turning to make more colours. The clouds were a golden colour, the scenery was mesmerizing.

Donghun came back with a sheet and two pillows in his hands. He set everything up beside Junhee, he sat on the sheets and watched Junhee in awe as Junhee watched the sky change. He pulled on his hand, startling him. "Come sit," Donghun said patting the empty spot beside him. Junhee sheepishly smiled and sat down.

"Why do you have a sheet and pillows in your car?" Junhee asked.

"Sometimes I leave for a day or two and sleep in my car," Donghun shrugged, laying down. Junhee looked down at him then looked at the sunset.

"The sky looks pretty," Junhee mumbled, Donghun hummed in agreement.

"You look prettier though," Donghun teased. Junhee chuckled and hit his thigh.

"Don't lie!" He laughed. Donghun sat up, turning Junhee's face towards him gently.

"I'm not," Junhee blushed, he had no comeback. He was speechless. Donghun's eyes flickered down to Junhee's lips then back at his eyes. Donghun leaned in, Junhee's eyes widened; he pulled away—gently swatting away Donghun's hands. Donghun cleared his throat, "Sorry." Junhee just hummed, facing back towards the beach.

Donghun wrapped his arms around Junhee's waist and pulled him down on the sheet. He rested his head on Junhee's chest, listening to his heart pound. "You okay?" Donghun asked fully knowing he was the cause of Junhee's nervousness.

"Yeah, I'm fine," Junhee squeaked out. Donghun unwrapped himself from Junhee's waist and got off his chest, laying on his side, his head resting in his palm.

"No, you're not, you're nervous. Why?"

"I am not."

"Yes, you are. I can hear your heart pounding?" Junhee turned on his side, facing Donghun.

"It's your fault, you're making me nervous." Donghun cocked an eyebrow.

"Why am I making you nervous?" He asked.

"I don't know," Junhee confessed. "Do you have any tattoos?" He asked, changing the subject.

"I do, why?"

"I like tattoos. I think they're cool, my parents would never let me get one, but I think they look pretty. Can I see yours?" Donghun nodded as he sat up and took off his shirt. He turned around, showing Junhee the big tattoo that covered his back. Junhee let out a tiny gasp, he ran his fingers over it, feeling each line on his fingertips.

"Did it hurt?" He asked.

"Yeah. It hurt a lot. It took about ten hours, both times I went there. It bled a lot too, I couldn't sleep on my back for like a week."

"It's better now, right?"

"Yeah, of course," Donghun turned back around, showing Junhee his tattoo on his ribcage. "I have this one too, this one took about three hours only."

"Only," Junhee scoffed as he traced his fingers over the slightly faded lines. Donghun flinched causing Junhee to pull away as if his ribcage was fire. "What's wrong? Does it hurt?"
