We are still kids, but we're so in love
Fighting against all odds
"Let's travel together after finishing the drama on a good note, ye?"
Those were the words he'd said to her during an interview not too long ago, and finally, they were going to make their promise to each other come true. Bo Gum was counting down the days for the trip, and once he was there, he was counting down the minutes until she arrived.
Cebu was beautiful, but it became a million times prettier once she set foot on the island as well. It wasn't as fun being without her; he missed her dearly and couldn't wait to go on lots of adventures together. It was a rare occurrence to be able to travel like this, and so much more if it also involved Yoo Jung. Bo Gum was determined to make every second count.
"Yoo Jung-ah!" He ran up to her as soon as he saw her and gave her a big hug, oblivious to the many cast and crew members that were also nearby. He had missed her so much and had waited for her so intently, that he didn't really care what people thought at that moment. Still, just in case, he tried to divert the attention from his little scene.
"Yeorobun!" He called out at his fellow co-workers. "Hong Ra On is here!"
He took a step aside as they all flocked to where Yoo Jung was and showered her with attention. They seemed to have missed her a lot, as well, and Bo Gum couldn't help but feel a tiny pang of jealousy as he saw her interacting with all of them so warmly. Still, Yoo Jung kept shooting glances at him every now and then, and that gave him a slither of hope.
The day was spent as a group, eating, playing and sightseeing. There was hardly any time for them to be alone together, let alone talk and catch up, and he craved for some one on one time with her. They finished their first day together in Cebu with a big dinner in the hotel's restaurant. Everyone was getting giddy because it was an open bar, but since neither Bo Gum nor Yoo Jung drank alcohol, after a while they found themselves sitting together on a table near the window, as far away as possible from the crowd.
"Having fun, Yoo Jung-ah?" Bo Gum smiled as he sat down beside her.
"Ne, Oppa! It was a nice day. Although..." Yoo Jung looked over at him and lowered her voice. "I'm getting a little bored here. Everyone's drinking and it's too loud. They're too loud." She looked over at Jin Young and Dong Yeon, who were having a thumb war and accompanied each victory with cheers and roars.
"You're right, Yoo Jung-ah. I--"
"Daebak!" Yoo Jung's remark cut him off. She had turned around and was looking over the window at the beach, hypnotized. It was all dark except for a few lights and the moonlight, which made the waves glisten as they moved. "The sea looks so beautiful!"
Not as beautiful as you, Bo Gum thought almost immediately. The sentence was equal parts cheesy and charming, but it was exactly what he felt. He couldn't keep elaborating on that thought, though, because he felt Yoo Jung's soft hand sliding into his and holding it tightly. He looked down at it, surprised, as his heart began to pound rapidly.
"Oppa!" Yoo Jung whispered as she looked at him with a mischievous smile on her face. "Let's go to the beach!"
Bo Gum thought about it for a second and looked over his shoulder. The cast and crew members were still busy eating, talking and -mostly- drinking. Lee Jun Hyeok had started doing karaoke and everyone was looking at him, so no one would notice they had just left. It was a bit risky, but he didn't want to miss the opportunity to be alone with Yoo Jung, so he turned back around and looked at her with an even more playful smile.
