Chasing the Sun - (On Hold✌)

Chapter 14: Himawari

1 year ago

Sakura was falling everywhere they go and it just felt like it was paradise. The sakura trees are in full bloom and it was showering their path with its falling petals. It felt like a scene cut out from a romantic movie, where your heart is beating crazily and butterflies were fluttering in your stomach, that very kind of feeling. The moment when you are just in awe and totally left speechless, that's the kind of moment she's having.

A single petal then found its way on top of her phone but Hima didn't bother about it. She just stood there looking at her phone petrified.

"Hey!? Let's go," said Sophia who looked at her. A grin appeared on her face when she saw her gawking at her phone. "What happened to you?"

Slowly, Hima turned her head and looked at her then to Marie who was taking a video of the falling cherry blossoms. Then suddenly, she screamed her lungs out.

"Kyahhhh!!!" she started screaming, even found herself jumping up and down. She looked like a little girl who got her early Christmas present from Santa.

"Hey! Hey! Hey!" Sophia held her hand and dragged her to the nearest bench to make her calm down. She looked around and saw a few passersby looking at them. "Don't scream like that again," she reprimanded her, but Hima was still grinning, she couldn't help it.

"What happened to you?" asked Marie, who was clutching her chest for she almost dropped her phone when she screamed.

Her heart was beating madly inside her chest. Her smile, she could feel her smile reached her ears. She wanted to jump, she really wanted to scream, she didn't know what to do, she just wanted to go crazy.

"Eottokhae!! Eottokhae!! What should I do? Eottokhae?" she just kept on repeating those words for her mind was in a total mess at that moment. "Kyahhhh!!" she sceamed again.

Marie and Sophia looked at her like she had finally snapped, like she was one crazy person and they just wanna leave her there and pretend they don't know her. Unable to stop her curiosity, Sophia grabbed her phone from her.

The screen shows her SNS account with a long thread of messages for Bigbrother. The last message read.

'Hello BB Oppa! So busy, I swear so busy. Wait, I realize all I ever did this past few days was complain to you how busy I am... but I swear I am not complaining, do I sound like one? hahaha... I am going crazy right? Haha. Actually, I just can't contain my excitement. But I will not tell you why I am excited... 😋 Peace BB Oppa. Maybe tomorrow, finally tomorrow, I will definitely tell you about it. Wait for it ok?

Oh, before I forgot, have a nice day again today Oppa... and don't forget to smile ok?It might be tiring and sometimes your head will just feel empty but even if it's the last thing I'll do, I'll continue motivating you to do your best and do what you love to do, make wonderful music. 😊✌'

Below the message was the icon that looks like an eye with the name bigbrother_bigbrothersrecords.

Her friends just looked at her with the same bewildered expressions. Hima doesn't care if her friends couldn't understand her feelings, well who can, even she herself couldn't understand what she was feeling. She was overjoyed but at the same time, she wanted to sink into the middle of the earth or disappear without a trace. She was happy but ashamed for all the things and messages she have sent him.

The whole day she couldn't focus on their trip at all. They went to beautiful tourist spots, saw the beautiful sakura blooming over her head but her mind was preoccupied with a single man and that is BB Oppa. When they went back to the hotel, she started rereading all her messages, backwards but all the more that she wanted to dig a whole and bury herself there.
