in the middle of nowhereas they drove to who knows where, chaeyoung opens the radio and turn up the volume when paris in the rain by lauv played. they bop their heads as he opens the window, the cold breeze meeting their faces.
"enjoying the view?" he asks her.
"super." chaeyoung smiled and sing along to the music, lifted her head a little outside the window as she films the road, the blue sky and its dark clouds with the old camcorder they saved up in highschool.
a blue minivan matched their speed and saw from the backseat is a labrador sticking out its tongue. chaeyoung melted at the adorable sight and waved her hand to the golden dog while recording it.
smiling, he places a hand on her thigh squeezing it gently. "you still have that camera?" he asks.
"it's our first camera. i remember you used to ask money from your brother because you needed to buy 'school supplies' when the truth is you're adding it to our savings." chaeyoung replies as the both of them laugh from remembering the things they did for that old camcorder.
when the blue sky turned a little darker like the grey clouds that surrounds it, droplets of rain poured.
when the white, rusty car from behind them increased its speed overtaking them, chaeyoung's mind wandered into a memory of three years ago. a scene where up till now confuses her. how they didn't notice the car that is impossible not to hear in the empty road, where in fact wasn't even there before she crossed the street. all she knows is how hard the blow to her head was when it happened.
snapping back to reality, "where are you even taking me?" she ask, getting impatient. jeongguk told her it'll be a surprise but the latter couldn't help but wonder where.
driving in one hand, "i'll give you a hint—yellow. that's it." he grins.
thinking deeply of something, a mango farm? a lemonade factory? chaeyoung thought. she told him all the yellow things she could possibly think of but all are incorrect.
"ah-ha! you're taking me to the beach? i should've packed my sun block if you said it sooner." she jokingly said.
his smile brightens, "nope."
groaning in annoyance, "just tell mee!" she yank his arm that's still resting on her thigh as he laughs in response but he ignore her. they pass by a steep road and chaeyoung noticed the rain stopped while tapping the droplets from the window to fall.
chaeyoung grabs the shirt from the backseat as he parks in a field of grass looking like nowhere. tall grass surrounding and the sight of mountains from afar looked really beautiful. "you're gonna change?" he asks, chaeyoung nods.
"i didn't thought it'd be a little warm here unlike in town." she adds. chaeyoung took off her coat and he stared dumbfounded, "you're undressing in front of me?" his eyes widen.
"you're so surprised as if you didn't almost undressed me." before chaeyoung could even take off her top, "i'd never imagine you undressing in front of me!" he stutters and didn't know whether he'll cover his eyes or turn his head away or just stare there looking like a weirdo.
"oh really? you never imagined?" she mocks him and showed a little smirk.
"shut up. i didn't." he denies while his head faced the window with his face flushed.
chaeyoung, without a doubt took off her top and wore the oversized shirt she got from the backseat and took off her pants since her lower body is covered from the shirtand wore shorts after. jeongguk didn't dare to look and stared at the field outside instead, "done!" she says, putting away her clothes.
"is it me or it's getting hot here... whew. we should go now." jeongguk stutters, clearing his throat again and looks at chaeyoung with sweat visible on his forehead as he gets off the car.
chaeyoung shrugs with a sneaky smile and gets off the car following jeongguk who's catching his breath. she runs along, a faint glimpse of the sun hitting their direction. "where are we?" she asks. jeongguk looks from behind seeing chaeyoung filming. he grabs her hand, holding it while they walk.
"it's not a little far from here but you'll love it when you see it." jeongguk says assuringly.
after walking for a while, she sees a glimpse of a white wooden gate and a sign that shows, sunflower farm.
chaeyoung's eyes widen from excitement and accidentally squeezed jeongguk's hand too hard though he didn't mind. she jumps like a little child and ran inside but a woman stopped them from entering. she inspects the both of them, "mr and mrs jeon?" jeongguk almost choked while chaeyoung's face turned bright red, "ah–no, there must be a mistake. i booked two people for mr. jeon and ms. park?"
the lady looks at the paper closely and realise, "oh i see. i must've not heard you correctly. please, do come in."
thanking the lady chaeyoung's smile return to her face as jeongguk laughs to how excited she really is. "wait for me!" he calls her.
chaeyoung stops her tracks when she sees the field of sunflowers as her mouth agaped. "whoa, daebak!" she cries out. chaeyoung runs around and called jeongguk, "take a picture of me! quick!"
"wow, she asks me for her picture before taking ours." jeongguk mutters with a chuckle while he taking out his phone. chaeyoung posed as jeongguk counts, but the truth is—the camera is in front view. he did snap a few of her face but it was super zoomed in.
jeongguk couldn't contain his laughter and burst out, chaeyoung stood there clueless. "ya! you're not capturing me aren't you?" with her realising as he laughs loudly, she approached the laughing jeongguk hitting him playfully and pinching his ears.
he shot his hands in the air, "i surrender! i'm sorry baby i'll take your picture seriously this time." he showed a playful smile as he replaces his phone with his camera and spent half the hour taking pictures of each other, and chaeyoung filming their sweet little sunflower trip.
