How Long Will I Love You?

Manly

Joy watched in awe as Jackson along with six other guys started doing a martial arts dance by the beach. She was supposed to be taking Sungjae's profile shots for the magazine however she ended up taking photos of the men who seemed to fly in the air as she waited for the other staff who will assist her for the photoshoot.

"Ahem!" Sungjae succeeded in trying to catch her attention by clearing his throat and faking a cough.

"Oh, wow! Can you do what they're doing?" She inquired excitedly as she turned around and faced him.

"Well... If I'm underwater, I could do backflips easily." He answered while scratching his head.

"Yea. You are good at that and I'm not." She said bitterly. Her competitive streak became apparent last night as she did her best to do the flip even when he started laughing so hard and compared her to a frog. She narrowed her eyes at him.

"Why? What did I do? Why are you looking at me like that?" He asked her nervously as he stared back at her.

"You told me last night that I look like a frog."

"I did?" He asked innocently then giggled while he tried explaining, "But frogs are cute. Like you..."
She just stared back at him, arms crossed and unconvinced.
"... and I had lots of fun last night. It's all thanks to you." He patted her head then stroked her hair, "No matter what you do, you're still pretty," he said affectionately with a grin which made her smile back widely.

"Oh, alright! I forgive you. " She beamed at him sweetly then gazed back at the men who were still doing backflips and somersaults. It was like a combat dance-workout.

"Alright. Geez. I'll do it. Stop gawking at them." He finally blurted out while trying to cover her eyes with his hand as he faced her.

"Wha--? What are you talking about? Oh my, look at them! They're so cool!" She exclaimed as she push his hands away but then his face blocked her view.

"Lady. Eyes on me." He squeezed her cheeks then pulled her closer to him, his lips brushed against her puckered lips, giving her a quick sweet kiss.

She blinked her eyes a couple of times, heat rushing towards her face as she turned bright red. She was not expecting him to be bold and kiss her in public.

"Watch me." He whispered after giving her a quick hug.

"Sungjae!" She called out. He stopped and looked back at her questioningly.

"Be careful."

He smiled brightly at her, "Will do." He waved at her then continued jogging towards the men who were taking a break while catching their breaths.

Joy took photos of him as he ran in a steady and gentle pace to join Jackson and the other guys. She focused her attention at them and captured every moment with her camera as they all started flying in the air, their bodies gracefully moving upwards and backwards in complete revolution in the air. It was mesmerizing to watch them with the setting sun across the horizon behind them.

She held her breath as her eyes followed how he moved his body smoothly and attractively with the others. Everything was breathtaking and beautiful. She never expected herself to be this drawn to a man to the point of sleeping with him like she was hungry and starving for his touches and company. It must be her hormone acting up and taking over that it's starting to scare her.

"Joy!" A familiar voice called out her name drawing her out of her momentary trance. She turned around and saw Eunwoo walking briskly while waving his hand at her. She waved back and gave him a quick hug when he opened his arms at her.
