The Sky and You

Chapter 8: Warm Feelings

Bankei resort was not as pack as it was during the day. The snow continued to fall and Belle couldn't srop worrying if it is really safe to ski but to her surprise after changing the snow has finally stopped.

From the top of the mountain she could see nothing but cold white snow and she loved the sight. It was so beautiful and serene. But most of all she loved the man who was skillfully showing off his snowboarding skills. "Show off," she told herself but deep inside it felt like her heart grew hands and were appluading him nonstop.

She followed him down the steep slope and this time she was determind not to fall or not to get nervous at all. However he was still teasing her for not falling off her skis but she just smiled at him. He decided to teach her how to use the snowboard then but it was so hard she couldn't balance at all. She decided to stick to her skis. That way she could still save her dignity and bones.

That night was so much fun. Nobody could recognize Keun Suk Oppa. Belle enjoyed the time she spent with him. It was so much fun she thought her heart will explode soon. It was much easier being with him alone this time than with other people... it felt like she can wear her heart on her sleaves without being wary of how she would look.

"Your enjoying aren't you? You should be, after all, all my pictures are very costly and you, you got them for free," he said after enthusiastically posing like he was in a photoshoot with his snowboard and she was clicking her phone continously.

"But you were the one who started posing there as if asking me to take a picture of you... ha ha ha."

"Still, you should feel grateful. I only pose for skilled photograpers, also I only ski with friends, and most especially I can only count in my fingers the times I gave out flowers, but you're an exception."

"Arasseo, arasseo... thank you so much Oppa..." she grinned. She want to tease him too, if she can.

"Ahhhh!!! You know I am so happy right now." He said laying flat on the snow and started making a snow angel.

She took a picture of him making that snow angel and he even gave her a big smile and a nice pose. Then he got up and took a selfie with her.

"I am so happy to see you smile and hear you laugh again. It feels so refreshing. I really thought you don't like me anymore that's why you were so cold to me the whole day."

"I'm sorry for making you feel like that Oppa. The truth is..." she hesitated, looked faraway then started again, "actually, I'm so happy Oppa, so happy that everytime I see you, I feel my heart will burst from so much happiness."

Keun Suk Oppa sat beside her. She didn't dare look back. Her heart started beating so fast again. "I still feel like everything is a dream and I don't actually want to believe everything that happened," she said still looking faraway.

"But they are true," he whispered.

"And I... I am afraid everytime I see you Oppa... every time you smile, every time you laugh, every time your nice to me, I got afraid that I might not be able to control my emotions."

"Why are you afraid? I'm not even controlling mine," he said and it made her look at him.

There was something in his eyes, something she was so unfamiliar with and its making her heart pound. He smiled so gently and it send butterflies to her stomach. "You think I'm just being nice to you because you're my eel? You're wrong. When I asked you to be my girlfriend, yes it was a spur of the the moment question but it was true, it was my honest feelings."

She couldn't digest what he just said. For once, she felt like she don't know the meaning of the words he just uttered. "No, please don't do this Oppa," she managed to say despite her surprise.
