"I should've been smarter but I was just too caught up in....," Renjun sighed after the little pause making Hyunsoo look at him intently while he had his eyes on the sand that he crumbled below his feet.

The airs grew slightly colder making chills run through Renjun's spine while Hyunsoo was more on the warmer side under her jacket.

"I only believed what I heard and thought you wouldn't need me anymore, the fear of not being needed, that made me run away, and I'm sorry for that, I should've been there for you," Renjun said, if anything they had gotten closer in the while that they knew each other, at least for the sake of being close to the girl he should've done better, and that made him feel guilty.

"Why did you tell me where you were then?" Hyunsoo asked. Renjun eyes looked solely towards the sea before him, the clear waters flowing gently.

"What do you mean?" Renjun asked, feeling the warmth in his heart calm the chills in his body.

"If you thought I played you, that I didn't need you, you could've just pushed me away, why did you let me know you were here and waited for me?" Hyunsoo asked, hoping he answered the way she wanted him to as she felt her heart beat wilder, she gulped, shutting her eyes and feeling the movement of air around her much stronger now.

"I love you, Renjun," she finally confessed.

"I knew I liked you a while back but I didn't think I could go any further till it simply turned to love," she said honestly, feeling the words she had been meaning to tell him the past week finally escape her lips.

She opened her eyes, pursing her lips when she heard no reply from him whatsoever.

"I know I'm older to you, a tad bit taller than you, weirder than you, very talkative and quite impatient but I would never break your heart and that's a promise," she said, feeling her cheeks blush and grow warmer despite the cold feeling around her body. She bit her inner lip, afraid he never saw her the way she did and was only about to change the topic till she felt his fingers pull her chin gently, making her look at him.

Renjun gave her a small but genuine smile before closing the gap between them, tilting his head while holding hers in place and kissing her delicate lips. Hyunsoo had her eyes open, feeling her breathing stop for a few seconds before she kissed him back. Eyes shutting as she felt his lips move on hers. He pecked her lips quite a few times to calm her nerves and ease her into the kiss.

Renjun's fingers intertwined with hers as their hands rested on the sand, the kiss only grew more heated as Renjun inched closer to her, he lifted himself, never leaving her hand as he kissed her, his body hovering her as he placed her body on the sand, moving his free hand that held her chin to place it on her cheek as she kissed him deeper and more passionate.

He pushed their intertwined fingers further down the sand, clenching harder like he was afraid of her disappearing, feeling his body heat up despite the thin material of an outfit, they pulled away, reaching out for a breath of air as they looked at each other, Renjun broke into a smile at her flushed cheeks. Right when the boy chuckled, the waves that were only inching upto their toes now crashed more violently, throwing all of the water on them.

Hyunsoo flinched, shutting her eyes when she saw the wave fall over them. It was quiet for a few seconds as the airs now only made them feel colder with their wet bodies. The two erupted in laughter and Renjun placed his forehead on her shoulder while Hyunsoo was still rested on the sand.

"We should go back before you catch a cold, where did you even find a shirt this thin?" Hyunsoo asked and finally the two got off the shore, walking together after having decided to take Hyunsoo's car instead as she had a few spare towels.

Renjun laced his fingers with hers, walking hand and hand towards the car, he shivered a bit making Hyunsoo giggle as she eyed the boy.

"What?! It's cold" Renjun complained making her chuckle further as they finally got into the much warmer insides of the car.

Renjun sighed deeply, feeling at peace after a whole week.

"I missed you," he finally says as he rested his head on the headrest of the front seat.

He felt a peck on his cheek and when he opened his eyes, Hyunsoo pretended to be busy while searching for a towel in the little bag on her back seat.

"I don't have any extra clothes alright?" Hyunsoo said, placing the towel on his lap as the wetness from his shirt had caused the material to stick to his body.

Renjun didn't even think twice before stripping right then and there, the cloth stuck to his physique anyway, he simply pulled it off, wiping his upper body with the towel after. Hyunsoo blinked profusely, trying to make it seem like she wasn't just gawking at his body, not all to muscled up but just enough. Hyunsoo took off her denim jacket, showing off her beautiful collar bones and narrow shoulders under the spaghetti straps of her checkered dress.

She turned to see the boy watching her, making her smirk.

"At least I wasn't the only one eyeing," she said making Renjun scoff with a feebish smile, accepting her jacket and wearing it over his bare skin, it was enough to button down and so he did, Hyunsoo started the engine, hitting the pedal before finally driving away from the beach.
