" so, what do you do now ?"

I asked as I rested my elbow against the door, leaning towards it. a ballad song, which kun always loved, was playing and he hummed along to it. looks like he's still a big fan of ballad songs.

I'm more into pop and hip-hop but I don't mind listening to him singing it. his voice is very heavenly, I could listen to it on repeat all day long, every day.

" well, I'm on my semester break now so I'm helping my uncle out at his store. I can make side income while waiting for the next semester ." he explained.

his uncle's store was originally his grandfather's, but he passed away like thirteen years ago. since then, it was passed down to his uncle. we always went there as kids, and his uncle would give us candies for free.

it was fun. we would sit behind the counter with him while eating sweets our parents prohibited us to, listening to the radio while he reads the newspaper. sometimes he'll let us play with his phone, which was a big deal back then.

I pulled my lips together into a thin smile. god, I miss my childhood so much. I miss running around recklessly without any worries in mind, because I knew even if I fall, my mom would treat my wound.

but now, if I fall, I have to do it myself. I can't run around anymore, I have to walk properly like a decent human being. which sucks.

" what about you ?" it was his turn to ask me that question.

" nothing much ." I shrugged. " I'm also on my semester break...but I don't do any part-time work. I just sleep ."

he chuckled. then I realized how much I also missed his laugh. it's cute. you could barely hear it but you could see how bright his face is. it's very calming.

" really sounds like you ."

" I know ." I smiled.

after a while, we arrived. he pulled off at the beach and we both got out. I took a deep breath and scanned the beach. the scene was as mesmerising as ever and the sea was so beautiful.

the wind flows gently against my skin and the sunshine hits my face. the beach is the only thing in the town that never looked old or rusty. it's fresh, soothing and scenic.

we walked next to each other, and I shoved my hands into my pockets. good thing I was smart enough to wear my sneakers because I'm sure the sand would go in my flip-flops if I wore them.

we sat on the coast and he took his shoes off, letting them to touch the water. he leaned back and used his arms to support his body weight. I folded my knees to my chest like always and rocked myself back and forth.

" the city must been fun ." he started, turning to me.

" not really. it was mediocre, but sometimes stressful. my neighbors are a whack. but the wi-fi connection is great ."

" what about your relationship? do you have any girlfriend, or boyfriend perhaps ?"

I scoffed at his question. there's a very small chance for me to be in a relationship. because (1) I'm not good at socializing, I'd rather binge-watch horror animes in my dark room alone for days than say hi to a strange for a second.

and (2) I'm pretty intimidating. whenever someone flirts with me, or if I think they're getting fishy, I would stare through their soul with the creepiest face I could manage. and I won't hesitate to throw shade like confetti, or sometimes even my middle finger.

and of course (3) I haven't move on from my crush of eleven years old. he had set my standards pretty high, it's skyrocketing as high as burj khalifa. there's no men, or women, that as half as attractive as kun is. inside and out.
