Chasing the Sun - (On Hold✌)

Chapter 9: That One Special Sunrise

"Do you like beaches?" asked BB Oppa.

"Yeah, I do," she replied while slightly getting distracted by the wind that's blowing her hair.

After dinner BB Oppa asked her if she wanted to walk around and that is how they ended at Hamdeok Beach. The beach is packed during the day but even at night there are still a lot of people out for night swimming. And he was right, its not just the people that made the beach very much alive but the live performances and the lightings around the beach as well.

"Here let me help you," he said then scoop her hair from the back.

The sudden touch of his hands on her skin gave her goosebumps on her body.

"I-its alright Oppa, I'll fix it," she said and smiled inwardly. She replaced his hand with hers and tied her hair.

"It looks good on you though you look lovelier with your hair down," he said still looking at her.

She looked away trying to hide her blushing cheeks. He continued asking her question about her likes and dislikes, or how she usually spends her day, where her dream vacation is, stuff like if she's a dog or cat lover. As she answer all his questions, BB Oppa continued walking while she just followed him and walked and walked till only the sound of waves are the only thing they could hear. That side of the beach wasn't packed with people, it's a lot quieter.

"Should we stay here for a while? I feel like watching the waves and the stars," he said as he sat on the sand then gazed at the dark sky.

Hima sat as well a yard away from him.

The view look so beautiful. There are countless stars in the heavens. The water reflects the lights coming from the tall buildings and its just so beautiful she was left speechless.

"So what have you been really doing this past few days? Seen our beautiful tourist spots here?" he asked her.

"Actually no, I have been cooped up in the hotel, writing."

"Really? I thought you came here for vacation? Why do you keep writing?" he looked at her with shock in his face.

"That was the plan. Marie and Sophia are up to it but this past few days, I just cant move away from my laptop. I can't really help it."

"Weird," he mumbled.

"I know, I'm weird."

"No what I meant is its indeed weird but I do know that feeling," he said looking at her with a knowing smile on his lips.

For a while Hima couldn't speak. BB Oppa didn't say anything either. They just sat there enjoying the silence. He then stared at the couple enjoying themselves, chasing while splashing water at each other. They looked so sweet. Hima smiled bitterly.

"Put this in one if your novels okay, this scene, by the beach, just enjoying the tranquility of nature, with nothing but the light coming from the stars and sound coming from the waves... Oh! You can include that too, a couple chasing each other, splashing water at each other," he said and looked at her with a naughty grin on his handsome face.

She couldn't help but chuckle.

"Sure, could I even write about you?"

"Me? Really? What are you going to write?"

"Hmm... Lets see. You could be the bestfriend of the hero," she said teasing him. His brows furrowed and shook his head.

"Tssk. No, very bad... not gonna sell," he snorted.

Both of them ended up laughing at their corny jokes.

"I like it here. It calms my mind," she said after a while. The past few days ever since she landed in Korea, her heart and mind has been in a total mess. One of the reasons why she decided to just stay in the hotel room is because she just felt so tired, body and soul, that all she ever wanted was to calm her whole being, especially her heart.
