[ masterlist ] | [ next part ]
The briny scent of salt along with the light breeze flowing through your hair brought you back to reality. It wasn't just one of your dream full of excitement anymore, you were finally at the summer camp you'd been attending since you were thirteen.
Nothing's changed, the place is still lively as ever, the beach clean and ready to be used by campers, the small blue butterflies fluttering their wings in excitement, welcoming you back.
The glistening sunlight atop the clean ocean water had mesmerized you for a while, and you didn't know how long you had spent watching how it reflected off the water.
A hand on your shoulder brought you back to reality, you turned around to see Isa with her gummy smile on display, the same one which made it easy for you to befriend her when you first came here.
βLooking for Hee?β her grin was teasing, which made you pout in the slightest way possible.
You indeed were looking for the said man, the guy who you had labelled as your βcamp best friendβ, the guy who had spent your past five summers with, the guy who made you fall in love with the freshness of summer β Lee Heeseung.
βYeah, he should've been here by now,β you looked around, completely ignoring the meaning behind her question.
You could see campers all over the bus stop, getting their luggage bags off and waiting with their newfound friends β in the case of younger, new campers and the others reuniting with their old ones β just like you and Isa.
Your hand automatically went up to your forehead, acting as a shield while you squinted your eyes, trying to find where your other friends were while Isa poked your side with a pout, wanting your attention at this particular moment.
You engulfed her in a side hug, which made her smile, feeling accomplished with her motive. That's exactly when the camp counsellor blew his whistle as he stood on the levelled surface of the stool, grabbing everyone's attention.
The soft murmurs and the sound of luggage dragging were heard before everyone stood around him in a circle while you were still distracted, your eyes still in search of a particular someone.
βOh! We would love to see a little enthusiasm here,β he stated sarcastically, with a playful smile as he put his hand on his ear. Some people clapped while some screamed in order to give him the excitement he wanted which made you and Isa smile.
Mr. Kim Seokjin, your camp counsellor, smiled and bend down further. His voice increased a pitch before he screamed, βI can't hear you guys,β and suddenly the excited screams pitched a level high as well, you joining in by hooting.
He went over all the rules, some causing a series of sighs and boos considering how it wasn't allowed for the campers to leave their cabins after ten pm maximum.
Both of you knew the rules by heart despite breaking them tons of times, never been caught once though. After the last rule was announced, he welcomed everyone yet again and demanded another set of cheering.
You were about to join in but a deep-voiced hollered just near your ear made you stop in your tracks, a strong hand wrapped around your waist just in time to prevent you from tripping over.
The culprit for both? Lee Heeseung. He looked at you with shining eyes while a boyish laugh escaped his mouth as he pulled you in a hug.
You hugged him back after overcoming the initial shock of him surprising you. Your little jumps only added to his chuckle as your heart warmed at the silly prank of your friend.
It was comforting, home-like almost. Your eyes shut down for a second as you took it all in before opening and stepping back with a smile.
He mirrored your action, looking at you up and down while you observed him too. His outfit wasn't over the top yet it looked like it was made just for him. A pair of long black shorts along with a light blue, half-sleeved shirt and a pair of sports shoes, he looked like a child. His tousled, slightly wavy hair only added to your amusement.
βDid I scare you, y/n?β his smile was teasing.
You simply shook your head with a scrunched nose, not admitting the fact that you indeed were startled for a moment to him. The comfort of his embrace did make you feel at ease.
Isa only smiled from a distance, nodding slightly as a βhelloβ to Hee, which he returned, before leaving you two to catch up with each other.
You both didn't care about the commotion all around you as everyone rushed to get settled in their respective cabins, only walking slowly while dragging your luggage towards your own room.
βMissed me?β he was in the mood to tease you, his lips curving up as he saw you roll your eyes.
βOf course not, Lee.β
βToo bad, cause I missed you a lot.β
His words were filled with sincerity, you could tell it without even looking at him and you didn't want to look at him, mostly because you were aware of his eyes on you, waiting for a reaction but you stayed mum.
That was the first time he admitted that he missed you. The way you both communicated was honestly not the best, only texting when you both were at the camp and never afterwards. It was like an unspoken fact how you both had a shy interior, conveying feelings, even the platonic ones, got hard for you at times.
So seeing Heeseung being free-spirited and jolly made you want to return his energy.
βI missed you too.β you softly spoke and he lit up like a Christmas tree.
For the rest of your five-minute walk, you talked about how this place looked as lively as ever, Heeseung also filled you in about his university admissions and the well being of his family, you telling him the same.
You stared at him the whole time he talked, observing his face which looked a lot more mature than last year.
His jawline looked sharper, his adam's apple more prominent and attractive. His face was well sculpted which you could easily compare to that of a Greek God and youthful skin shone brightly as his cherry lips continued to move while his nose looked pointy enough to make you want to want to poke it, specs perfectly perched on it.
βEarth to y/n.β he waved his big hands in front of your face, which widened your eyes and successfully snapped you out of your admiration session.
βI'm sorry, what were you saying?β you asked sheepishly and he only gave you a smile in return.
βI was talking about how it's our last year here,β he pouted and you stopped with realisation.
You won't ever see Heeseung after these weeks get over. Or maybe you would, you never know.
βOhββ
βDon't worry, we'll make it worth it,β he said, holding your hand and giving it a light squeeze.
A small smile settled on your face, βWe will.β and you squeezed his hand back.
It took you two hours to finally settle in and unpack your clothes, make your little cabin more lively with your books on the shelf and Isa's music player accompanied the calm ambience. Isa seemed mysterious to you, she loved to disappear during the night, claiming to have found a treehouse in the woods where she liked to sleep.
That's what she told you, at least.
To uplift the spirits of the newcomers, a day one party was organised, just exactly how it happens each year. Only, the number of campers looked more than the usual, the camp had a reputation now and hence the surge in-crowd.
Heeseung knocked on your door, he wanted to walk with you and catch up at the party. His cabin being just in front of yours made it even more convenient for him to reach you.
βYou look great,β his compliment made you smile, your clothes were simply stylish, not too extravagant, just perfect for the night. Your outfit colour also complimented Heeseung's black shirt, making it seem like you two planned it beforehand.
βYou don't look too bad yourself, Hee.β it had been a few hours and yet he had shown you his smile numerous times.
Isa joined you guys later with some more friends of yours, sitting together at a table while Mr. Jin had paused the DJ for a while, going on about the various activities you guys will be participating in during your stay at the sunshine camp.
Typical stuff, some of which you did each year with a few new additions here and there. He happily explained all the newly added information to you guys, everyone focusing on him. Some more than others as you could see the majority of the female population drooling over the twenty-nine-year-old instructor.
ββNew musical equipment has been added, they're all kept in the new cabin, the one near mess hallββ your focus deviated for a second when Heeseung yawned, keeping his head on your shoulder.
You looked over at him and he kept his eyes focused on the front. The position was comforting so you ended up leaning against his head too, which made him bite his smile, the action that you conveniently missed.
βI can play the guitar for you now,β he whispered, remembering how he told you he played yet he couldn't show you due to lack of instruments.
βI'll look forward to it.β you looked at him looking at you, the proximity, however, made you look away first.
Heeseung had always been touchy with you, in a friendly way, of course. But it felt different this time. Maybe it was just the realisation that you won't be here next year, or maybe the fact that Heeseung had grown to have a subtle flirty nature.
The party went on afterwards, you drank a few carbonated drinks and had the snacks which you craved, also dancing with your group and getting to know a few new campers.
It was light and enjoyable, your cheeks hurt from how much you laughed at the horrible dance moves everyone kept showing, only Heeseung kept it minimal, his body rolls looking effortless.
Good at everything, that's what Heeseung was.
He also insisted to walk you and Isa back to your cabin, yours being a few steps away from his. You also acknowledged that his roommate, Sungchan, had nerdy abilities and always carried a book around, almost similar to what you did back at home.
He successfully had your attention after whining like a preschooler, Sungchan raising his brow at his behaviour but not questioning much.
It was normal that Lee Heeseung dropped you at your doorstep, wishing you a good night. But again, he had sworn to surprise you each moment he could.
βWhere's my good night kiss?β he bent down to get on your eye level.
And that successfully stopped you from going inside, βWhat?β your eyes widened a fraction.
And his laugh bloomed up seeing your confused expression.
βI'm kiddingββ he paused when you stood up straighter and planted a featherlight kiss on his cheekbone.
βGood night, Hee,β you stifled your laugh and rushed inside.
All he could do was stare at the closed door, his fingertips reaching to touch the area where you kissed him, his mouth soon curling up again, continuing his laugh from before.
And both of you slept with your heartbeats a little more faster than the usual. Why? It was a normal, friendly kiss after all. The kind only meant for teasing.
Because, if he can flirt, then so can you.
Two days had passed since that kiss incident took place and you both didn't acknowledge it the next day, continuing to work according to your activity schedule, being the best friends you were. And it was better that way. Heeseung didn't pull up any tricks in the meantime, maintaining harmony between you two.
And a majority of your friends were in the new music room, trying out the random instruments but you were here to listen to Heeseung play the guitar.
He held it professionally, tuning the strings as you all sat down surrounding him. He didn't mind the attention, especially when it concerned the thing he loved β music.
I'm so tired... by Lauv and Troye Sivan. That's what Heeseung had claimed to be his favourite song two summers back, and that's what he intended to play today.
Although, you had also discussed how he loved 'say you won't let go' by James Arthur. He called the song mainstream yet the genuine tone made it one of his favourites. βIt's the feeling of longing, the need to tell someone how much you want them in your life.β he had said after deep thought, βThat's cheesy.β you had laughed.
But you did agree.
But at this moment, his voice felt amazing as he sang for everyone, the small smile on his face while doing so made it even better.
His mellifluous voice filled the room, even the younger ones stopped to listen to his deep vocals hitting each note perfectly.
You had heard him humming to songs before but he never sang them in a full-fledged manner, always keeping it to himself or grinning saying how he'd want to be perfect for you to hear it.
And he defined perfection, his eyes kept coming back to see your face, and the way your mouth was agape made him feel proud for working on his vocal abilities.
He sat there, strumming his guitar while you all sang along until Sungchan suggested sitting outside, a bonfire would be the perfect add on to the fussy and warm vibe. You all agreed, setting everything up.
Yet again, Heeseung sat down with you, his face glowing with the cosy fire in front of you all.
You were too immersed, your mind fully invested in music and the booming laughter from the jokes your friends kept on making that you didn't hear your phone ring until Isa pointed it out.
You hurriedly excused yourself for, the caller was someone who rarely reached out to you. Heeseung's eyes followed you, observing your actions since you rarely got any call other than your family.
βHello? Jake?β you asked, confused.
βY/n! I hope I didn't disturb you.β
βOf course not! Is anything wrong though?β
βYeah, I saw your potted plant, Mr. Pots, looking dry and sad on your window so I wondered if I can keep it with me till the time you return?β
Jake always paid attention to everything, so it made sense when he noticed your plant. And your heart swells with this small offer of his.
βAren't you the sweetest? I'd love that, Jakey.β
A few more words were exchanged between you and your βneighbour cum childhood best friend turned friendβ before you ended the call, going back to sit down on the big log like seat surrounding the fire.
Heeseung had stopped singing by now, he was busy eating marshmallows with a pout.
βIt's honestly sad how it's the first time I've properly heard you sing,β you looked at Heeseung who had a stuffed mouth.
βYou've got the voice of an angel, Hee.β
Even in the dim lights, you could see a faint shade of red adorning the tip of his ears. It was evident how he was waiting for your compliment all this time.
He simply stuffed your mouth with a marshmallow, not knowing how to handle compliments well. You slapped his shoulder, trying not to laugh while chewing on the sweet treat.
βWhere'd you go?β he asked you, diverting the topic.
βOh, I got a call.β you shrugged.
βBoyfriend?β
Your eyes went wide first, then turned into crescents as you laughed at his guess.
βIt was my neighbour!β
βThe one you had a crush on?β he came closer.
You slapped his shoulder again.
βNo, I did not! And I've been single all my life.β you leaned in while emphasizing on your sentence.
βYou mean, you've never dated before?β he asked again to confirm your statement.
βStop reminding me that I'm single, oh lord!β
βGood,β he whispered and you paused.
The scene might have looked like something straight out of a movie, your faces close enough for you to breathe in the same air and for a moment, you kept staring at each other until a voice snapped you back to reality, again.
βJust friends, huh?β Isa teased and everyone cheered, some kids looked confused while others smirked.
Your heart kept hammering in your chest, it was like you were the centre of attention for the majority of the day and, even though you did like to have the attention of your best friend, it made you flustered this very time. You weren't sure if you wanted to know the reason why.
Heeseung looked elsewhere, still smiling which confused you further. You glared at Isa before grabbing the marshmallow from Hee, getting comfortable once again.
Maybe this was your last shot at getting some romance before finals and college. Or maybe it was just a game. Either way, you were ready for both.
It had been a week since Heeseung played the guitar. The week was full of mixed signals. You weren't dense, it was evident what you were doing. His hugs were prolonged, and his protectiveness sprang out at the most random times, just like how he saved you from tripping three days back at the trek, holding you by your waist.
He didn't know what exactly he was doing, all he knew was how he loved to see you being a flustered mess around him, more when you retorted back with the same energy.
Flirting was something that came to him almost naturally, you wondered what this one year did to him. The shyness was still there, but his confidence almost overpowered it.
Exactly like now, he sat in front of you, the canoe just big enough to fit you both in. It was supposed to be a group activity where the instructor was supposed to be guiding all the canoes. But Heeseung had different plans.
And you had no objections, not when the sky above you looked majestic. It was like a canvas, the glittering water beneath made look like a picture-perfect scene, like diamonds shining beneath you. The faint hues of pink and purple covering with the delicate clouds.
Most of all, while you stared at the cotton candy-esque beauty in front of you, Heeseung spent his time staring at you instead.
βHow did you find this place?β your eyes sparkled with awe, βIt's beautiful.β it came out as a whisper.
He looked up, taking in the scene as well, βFound it last year, I've been wanting to show this to you ever since,β he paused, his gaze back on you again.
βAnd I agree. So beautiful.β
He tucked a strand of hair behind your ear, βYou are beautiful.β
Your mouth opened and closed, your head tilted while you tried to articulate your current emotion into words.
βThat's the first time you've called me that,β you spoke in a low voice, fiddling with your rings.
βThat's not true,β he argued, βI've called you that a thousand times in my mind.β
You gulped down, speechless. The canoe kept still, only ever moving due to the subtle ripples in the water. He softly held your chin, making you look up at his glowing face, lip bitten to conceal his smile, βI mean it.β
βIββ you were cut short of your reply when your phone rang even in the area with low network connectivity.
Heeseung sat back, exhaling and looking elsewhere, you could have sworn it was the look of disappointment on his face.
βIsa, what's wrong?β you picked up the call, putting it on speaker.
βWhere are you, y/n? The instructor figured two people were missing and now they're searching for you!β she informed you in a breath. βCome back as fast as possible.β
You both looked at each other before cussing.
βShit.β
When you talked about breaking the rules, getting a punishment wasn't something you had planned along with it. You had rowed the boat back at an alarming speed, it wasn't each day when the students who've always been good, break the rules for the very first time. Or get caught breaking in your case.
Heeseung poked your cheek seeing you pout when you both got scolded for not following the rules. The lecture went on longer than you had anticipated. It further resulted in you both missing out on the bonfire session for the next night, and cleaning up the playground area. That's what the punishment slip read at least.
You both worked in silence, except for the usual humming from Heeseung, and you could have sworn his voice was therapeutic.
βDo you remember when it rained here?β you broke the silence, βAnd we ended up taking shelter under that tree.β you pointed it out at a distance.
βAnd you slept on my shoulder and caught cold later?β his face lit up with the memory.
You scrunched up your nose remembering how Heeseung stayed by your side the entire time, he was the epitome of purity two years back, so much that he even asked if he could touch you to help you sit straight.
βI was focusing more on the part where we engraved our initials on that very tree.β you both walked closer to it, the poorly carved heart along with one H and the other, your initial, came in view as he ran his thumb on it.
βSomeone might mistake it for a lovers mark, with the heart and all, y'know?β he tilted his head back as mischief glowed in his eyes.
βYou'd love that, won't you, Hee?β
βOh I definitely would,β he bent down to your height yet again, filling you up with anticipation.
But he only bent down further, βDo you regret it?β Heeseung asked, completely changing the topic, picking up a plastic bottle and throwing it in his trash bag.
His question could have meant anything yet your mind knew exactly what he was talking about.
βGoing out to see the prettiest sky with you? Never.β a smile adorned your face as you reminisced how enchanting the colours looked as they blended with each other.
βEven if it meant breaking the rules?β he looked at you expectantly.
βEven if it meant breaking the rules.β
Time kept on running, and it worried you, simply because your feelings conflicted and the clock was ticking away. The second week at the camp and your distress was showing, yet you somehow managed to keep up with your activities and duties, mentally reminding yourself to not lose your mind over a certain guy.
While it did seem like you were the only one panicking, even though you did a fantastic job of hiding it, the other party wasn't less. Heeseung, just like you, was at a war with his newfound feelings.
Again, you both weren't dumb to not realise what it was but, you chose to ignore it for the sake of your friendship, and the time β one and a half weeks.
You decided not to think about it anymore, going with the flow being the only good option in your opinion. And it provided you with great pleasure since Heeseung acted like his usual self, joyous and flirty, something that you almost craved at this very moment.
βAny song requests, m'lady?β Heeseung asked, holding your hand as you all gathered around for another of the open guitar and singing sessions, something which had taken a happy little place in your heart. A few campers gagged at Heeseung's highly friendly public display of affection.
You scrunched your nose, thinking, while Isa made you sit between her and Hee, pushing you towards him not so subtly.
βSurprise me, Hee,β you said and he smiled, knowing exactly what he wanted to play.
He strummed the strings a few times, warming his fingers up as everyone got comfortable around him as he went on for a minute.
You leaned your head against Isa's shoulder, closing your eyes as an unknown feeling bloomed up in your chest. Was it fear? Excitement? Maybe a mix of both.
βI met you in the dark, you lit me up.β his deep voice mixed with the cool breeze of the night.
It made your heart beat fast, remembering what he had said about that song a few summers back.
You didn't open your eyes, even when everyone started singing along with him, you doing the same under your breath.
Heeseung was staring and you could feel it, but you couldn't muster the courage to look at him, knowing how his eyes are always full of sincerity, especially when he sings.
βJust say you won't let go,β he breathes out slowly, ending the song just as you open your eyes, only to find him looking at you.
Releasing a shaky breath, you smiled at him as one of the younger guy started playing an upbeat song, changing the mood right after, which you were thankful for.
βShe isn't going anywhere, Hee,β Sungchan whispered in his ear and he bit his lip.
βWe have only a week left, we don't know what comes after that.β He said, trying to suppress his feelings which wouldn't do him good.
That night, when you hugged him good night, you held on to him tight. Both of you knew that just friends weren't a title anymore, it was a bar higher than that, just a bit higher since you both weren't ready to accept it.
But you did know you would have to confront him soon.
βYou look distraught,β Isa sat down with you on your bed, eyes worried.
βWhy do you pair me with Hee?β you asked her before you could stop.
βBecause he looks at you with love in his eyes.β she smiled.
You let out a breathy laugh, βLove is a big word.β
βIt is, but it won't be hard for you both.β she shrugged.
βIt will,β you whispered, finally admitting that you wanted to be with Heeseung.
βHow?β
βWe only have a week left together, then the camp would be over and we won't be returning here the next summer,β you explained, your gaze on the floor.
She wrapped her arms around your shoulder, a warm vanilla smell filling up your senses, βYou don't know what the future holds, maybe you'll meet someday again? But you'll regret not trying, won't you?β her voice was soft.
You gulped down, letting it sink in, βYeah, I'll think about it maybe?β
The probability of being rejected filled up your mind but you decided not to speak about it anymore. You hugged Isa softly, thanking her for listening to you and she simply kissed your forehead before giving you space.
You drifted off to sleep thinking about Heeseung and how would it feel if he actually kisses you someday. You wonder if he would have kissed you before had you not been interrupted.
Your mind was full of him, it made you blush even. What you didn't know was β you were the main occupant of Heeseung's mind too.
The next day was comparatively normal, the sky was clear, the activities were fun, it made you feel like a kid again with the artwork sprawled on the table in front of you and how that one fifteen-year-old was being super nice to you, helping you draw with his own expertise which was highly appreciated considering how he good he was at it.
Heeseung was trying not to have a meltdown at how you were giving all your attention to a kid instead of him, and so he did what he had to β he dipped his finger in paint and brushed it against your cheekbone.
Which successfully made you look at him, your eyebrows raised and mouth open with confusion, βHee what the fucββ
βShh, not in front of the kids.β he put the clean finger against your lips. βLet's go and get you cleaned.β he smiled and the guy in front of you rolled his eyes.
He grinned and held your hand, dragging you to the empty washroom and water dispenser area, taking out his handkerchief and keeping it under the flowing tap water.
βWhat's on your mind, Hee?β you whispered when he came closer to wipe your paint stain, his fingers holding your chin up.
βJust wanted your undivided attention.β his hand caressed the contour of your mouth, βAll done!β he said acting like he didn't do it in the first place.
βYou could have just called me like a normal person,β you were amused.
βBut I wouldn't have gotten you alone then, would I?β his tone was lower, alluring even.
You paused as your heart hammered against your chest, you had to stay strong and not break your calm facade, βYou got me alone, now what?β you challenged him.
He comes forward, trapping you between his body and the wall, βCome on, sweetheart, I just wanna spend some time with you.β he whispered and the proximity was enough to make your head spin, in a good way.
Your hand rested on his chest and it made you feel myriads better when you felt his heart beating fast as well. His lips were ghosting just above yours, one move and they'll touch.
βAs much as I admire the budding romance here, you both should head back to your art activities.β Mr. Jin spoke up, coming out of the washroom, not bothering to look at you which made you push Her away. βYou both have plenty of time at night anyways.β he nonchalantly spoke and left before you could say anything.
βUgh,β you groaned with embarrassment, covering your face as he laughed.
βHey, he's right, meet me by the dinner area at two in the morning,β he whispered before holding your hands in his, taking them away from your face and gently kissing on your cheek.
You gasped and he only smiled, his eyes enchanting and genuine. βSee you,β he said before leaving you being a breathless mess.
Lee Heeseung was a mystery to you, so lively and full of zeal yet he always did things with you least expected him to do.
Like now, you both were outside, lying on the wooden lunch table outside, staring at the blanket of stars as the pale moon glowed with the infinite sky.
It was silent as you took the scenery in, Heeseung doing the same, stealing a few glances towards you. It felt romantic and as much as you loved it, you hated it the equal amount. You didn't want him to sweet talk his way into something which wouldn't result in anything. You curse the bad timings.
But you couldn't help but feel the tingles where he kissed on your cheek earlier.
βDo you believe in love, Hee?β your eyes stayed on a star which visibly shone brighter than its companions. He stayed quiet for a while.
βLove definitely exists. It's everywhere if you pay attention to the detail,β he spoke slowly, trying to piece his words together, βLike, the way you're looking at the stars, your eyes adore them, they're full of love.β
You turned to look at him and he could see exactly what he was talking about, the small glimmer in your eyes paired with a speck of confusion. You liked his theory.
βHm, the sky is breathtakingly beautiful.β you smiled.
And he returned it softly, his hand inching closer to your small ones.
βWhy the sudden question?β he asked softly, his pinky finger intertwined with yours which gave you a sense of comfort. He made you feel warm and fuzzy.
βI was just wondering,β your gaze fell on his hand which now captured your own hand fully, βI completed reading a book earlier, the characters were undeniably in love, does that even exist in real life?β
You weren't sure what you expected him to answer, love was indeed a big word, the one which you shouldn't even be thinking about, less talking about it, yet you were curious about his opinion.
βHow did they fall in love?β he asked back, βThe characters, I mean.β
βThey were friends until they decided they can't be it anymore, not when they had feelings for each other,β you explained, remembering the sweet plot which had made you squeal like a kid.
βSo, love is friendship,β he stated, looking up at the exact star which you were focused on, noticing how the star adjacent to it was shining just as bright.
You didn't dare look at him. Friendship, he says. Friends, that's what you two are.
His grip on your hand tightened, securing it as his heartbeat screamed β don't let go.
And you didn't. The conversation was over and even the glistening stars could tell that the two friends had finally come to terms with their feelings β primarily focusing on the part which said that you liked each other.
The corner of his mouth slightly turned upwards seeing you dozing off, he checked his watch which displayed four in the morning, most of your time was spent in silence and he wouldn't change a single thing about it.
He softly called out your name, helping you stand up but your body ended up leaning against his chest, his strong arms wrapped around you to help you walk back, βCome on, let's get you into bed.β he whispered.
A soft pair of lips touching your forehead was the last thing you remembered before you fell into the world of dreamland.
Sleep wasn't an option for Heeseung that night, his brain muddled into thinking about the events which took place earlier.
He sighed, changing sides to get comfortable on his bed, he noticed how Sungchan was sound asleep, hugging his plushie while doing so. He wanted to be that way with you, mood uplifting as he recalled how perfectly his bigger hand encased your smaller one and yet he wanted more.
With all the instances where he almost kissed you, he too, just like you, wonders what it would feel like if he does so. Your lips gravitate his own, closer each time. It's almost tortuous how close yet far you are from him. He wants you. He needs you.
Finding hints for your ongoing treasure hunt was definitely not your priority.
Three days left. You all would leave on the third one.
And no progress, you both acted as if you were lovers for the past two days since Heeseung declared friendship as love. With that being said, you unequivocally needed answers. And a break.
Hence, you stepped into the denser part of the forest, leaving the hint hunting to your teammates β Heeseung, Isa, Sungchan, and three others.
Sitting down on the huge stone, you stared at the vibrant green trees and small, colourful birds in the sky, their chirps cheering you up by a trifle.
βWhy are we making it so hard?β you spoke, talking to the one bird which landed next to you, standing on the stone as your companion. βConfessing sounds scary, what if he says no?β you groaned and the bird chirped, which sounded like a shout of encouragement.
You smiled at the cute ave, soon staring into a distance, zoning out until a sound of branch snapping brought you back to reality.
βLord, y/n! I thought something happened to you.β Heeseung's urgent voice made you realise that maybe going off without informing your friend was a bad idea.
And before you knew it, he had you in his arms, hugging you close. You pursed your lips, hugging him back as his smell brought you immense comfort, his hand patting your back softly.
Hesitantly, you stepped back to see his expression morphed into that of a worried one. It had just been thirty minutes, enough for him to worry.
βI'm sorry, Iββ he didn't let you finish, cupping your cheek.
βNo, I'm sorry but I can't control myself no more,β he said, stepping further, leaving no space between you both.
He tilted your face, giving your cheek a single caress, βPretty.β he whispered in his deepest voice.
Your heart fluttered when he pressed his lips against yours, capturing you in a delicate kiss β your first kiss.
His hand slipped down the curve of your waist, pressing your body closer, which made you stand on your tippy-toes, sighing into the short-lived kiss.
He pulled back, taking a brief second to catch his breath while also staring at you with intensity. Your own eyes staring back. Doe-eyed bambi, that's what he reminded you of.
The air swirled around you, sending a shiver down your spine. He wasted no time in grabbing your nape and smashing his lips against yours, this particular moment being more fervent that the first one. You held on to his arm as your knees got weaker with each passing second, but your conflicted voice was louder.
βHeeββ you stepped back, βWhat are we?β you searched his eyes, a small frown settling on your face.
βI know it sounds like I'm making a big fuss over a kiss but, where will it take us?β confrontation wasn't your strong suit, your throat felt restricted whenever you were upset, and you were sure your eyes looked teary at that very moment.
βIββ he faltered, looking down, seemingly trying to get a grip and give you an answer.
He had none.
You looked at him expectantly but deep inside your mind, you knew how it would end. It was as if your bond existed only during the camp, with no texting, no calls whatsoever once you went home.
Taking an airy breath, you nodded with a pathetic smile. βI see.β
And you walked away, a stray tear sliding down your cheek. You shouldn't have said anything. Heeseung stared at your figure, biting his quivering lip as he kept thinking of an answer. All he wanted to do was to embrace you, tell how you mean the world to him but it was too late, you had left already, leaving him with the expression of deep guilt.
The hunt was over, your team lost since half the members weren't even focused on playing. You went back to your room. It was evident and well versed in your mind β the idea that you had a knack for ruining things. Yet you never thought it would hurt this much.
βAre you alright, love?β Isa softly asked and your tough facade broke.
She held you without any question the entire time you cried, softly caressing your back all along.
You were so lucky to have her.
βYou're my strong girl, come on!β she wiped your tears away with a smile once you had calmed down enough. You thanked her, mustering the energy to smile.
βYou can tell me when you're ready, okay? But now we have to lift up your mood, you look way prettier when you smile, y'know?β her angelic aura made you feel better.
That's exactly when you remembered β it was the unofficial party night, the one thrown each year and even the camp officials didn't object it.
That's when you also remember how Heeseung would attend it too. And for the nth time, your heart and mind were at war. You wanted to attend it and Isa's hopeful smile made you feel secure enough to go.
You thanked the universe for your eyes weren't swollen. Red rimmed, yes, but not swollen. And even with your crushed spirits, you managed to get yourself in a dress, ready and presentable, just fine.
It meant nothing, you expected too much when it wasn't meant to be.
You closed your eyes, leaning back against the chair in the room, sipping on your cold drink which contrasted well against your hot palm.
βHe hurt you, didn't he?β you snapped open your eyes to see the boy who helped you with art, well, before Heeseung smudged paint on your cheek that is. You never asked for his name, you realised.
βWho?β you asked over the slightly loud music, knowing the answer already.
βThe one who's been staring at me ever since I sat down next to you, he probably wants to throw me away right now.β he humorously spoke, eyes pointing at the guy you almost dreaded to see.
Almost. Because you couldn't deny how stupidly attractive he looked in black, especially with his gold-rimmed glasses that you had grown fond of.
He was staring at you, the look on his face screaming a mix of jealousy and defeat.
When you didn't reply, he continued, βHe's so jealous, I wonder what he did.β the statement wasn't funny yet it made you giggle, which in turn made the boy smile.
βI'll leave before he comes to punch me,β he looked at you, βTake care of yourself and know that I'm only a call away.β he winked at you, giving you a piece of paper with his number and you hearty laughed.
Kids these days, such charmers. But then you looked up, again, to see Heeseung with clenched jaw and fist. Which made you look away just as fast.
You didn't know what to make of it.
Either way, you acted like the whole ordeal didn't affect you, which was burdensome but soon you were being dragged by Isa to sit down with the other campers of your age. You mentally thanked Isa for yet another distraction.
'No kids policy' they had stated. But their activities were the opposite.
βGuys, I know this sounds absurd but come on, it'll be fun and we can't do much without alcohol anyways.β a guy named jeongin said, proposing the idea of playing truth or dare.
Others groaned and looked at each other, contemplating whether they wanted to embarrass themselves or not. They chose the prior.
βI can't believe everyone actually agreed to this,β Sungchan whispered sitting next to you, drinking his coke as if it was a can of beer.
βWe honestly have nothing else to do, the camp is full of restrictions,β you said back, looking around to find any trace of Heeseung.
As if on cue, he came inside the already crowded room, sitting right across from you.
You wanted to hear what he had in mind, not used to him being this silent and deep in thought.
βSo, are we gonna sit and ask each other about their crushes?β he questioned, and that made you laugh genuinely.
βAnd give dares to kiss each other?β you added, which gave elicited a chuckle out of him.
Surprisingly, the first question asked was about jeongin's crush, the blush on his face was capture worthy and his friends made sure to click some pictures of his red ears.
He ended up telling you all about this girl back at home who stole his heart. As cheesy as it was, it made you envious by a smidge. Your lover staying close to you would be like a dream, convenient and just what you need.
Another roar of scream was heard, joined by you as well, when this one blonde girl was asked to kiss the guy sitting next to her, which she ended up doing β the crowd didn't expect it in the least and that's what made the situation better. The faint blush on both their faces was a cherry on top.
However, it also gave you a painful flashback of what went down in the woods a few hours back. Everything reminded you of him. The kiss was sweetly bitter, it should have turned out differently, you wished.
He was still looking your way.
βIsa, truth or dare?β the same girl asked her, actively grasping your attention as well.
βTruth?β she said with a smile.
βHave you ever faked an orgasm?β
She hid her face, laughing and nodding, βYeah, I have but you can't blame me for it!β
Some guys looked horrified, suddenly nervous about it while the other girls agreed with a nod.
But Sungchan was fast to change the topic, his mind scheming a plan with it, βSo, Heeseung,β he grabbed everyone's attention, βIs there anyone who'd you want to kiss in this room?β
You would have glared at him had the question not left you flabbergasted even if it wasn't directed towards you, straightforward at least.
Unknowingly, you held your breath in, greatly anticipating him to say no.
βI do.β the confidence in his voice made you shiver.
It was powerful enough for you to finally look up. Just as expected, he was staring at you already, eyes darker than ever.
And even though it wasn't a surprise to others how Heeseung wanted you, his honestly did come off as an unexpected confession, something which was unspoken till now.
βWho?β another girl asked, trying to get the obvious answer out of him.
βMoving on,β he was quick to deflect the question, asking one to the person sitting next to him.
βDamn he actually wants you,β Sungchan said, whistling lowly, only for you to hear.
βI hate you so much,β you groaned.
βYou're welcome,β he quipped.
Heeseung's act of bravery shifted the confidence of the room, the dares got dirtier, questions personal and everyone was keen on knowing more.
Isa kept looking at you while Sungchan kept making small talks when he observed how fidgety and silent you were.
And suddenly everything in the world intrigued you and screamed at you for attention, the dimly lit golden lights, the faint smell of pasta lingering, the loose thread of your dress which you played with, everything.
Except for his eyes.
They knew they already had your attention, the attraction was magnetic almost. That bambi look had recently been found to be the perfect tool to make you a flustered mess.
The next person, however, grabbed your focus, asking about your selection of truth or dare.
βTruth,β you gulped, knowing well that you don't necessarily have to be honest.
βNastiest place you've had sex before?β
You opened your mouth once, tilting your head, contemplating whether or not to tell them. Sex life wasn't something that you guys usually discussed about.
βI'm a virgin,β you shared, βSo, none?β you looked around and Isa only smiled at you adoringly which gave you an easing feel.
βSaving yourself for someone particular?β Jeongin asked, tone teasing.
βUh, not exactly?β everyone was listening intently. Kids.
βI just want my first to be withββ you paused, your eyes boring into his, ββsomeone I trust.β
And just like that, you blinked back as if you didn't direct it to someone. Yet the tip of your ears were burning with all the attention, which soon shifted after receiving a few comments on your sentence, calling you cute.
You wanted to leave, his gaze made you feel smaller and you couldn't deny that even though he did leave you hanging, you still wanted him.
During the entirety of the party, you didn't interact with him, which was a disappointment yet a relief and, going back to your cabin suddenly reminded you how tired your body was, sleep engulfing you as soon as you lay down on your bed, not having it in you to spare a minute for changing your outfit into something more comfortable.
And even then, till the point your eyes closed as you swept into the dreamland, Heeseung's dark eyes serenaded your mind and that was the last thing you thought of before sleeping.
Frantic knocking on your cabin door woke you up. Sighing, you checked your phone for the time.
Two in the morning.
As usual, Isa wasn't in the room. Hesitation bloomed up in your mind, wondering if it's safe to open the door, considering how it was just a series of rushed knocks with no name-calling whatsoever.
Still in your dress, you tiptoed to grab the small curtain on the tiny window, peeking out to see who the culprit who woke you up from your dreamless sleep was.
Lee Heeseung.
Your heartbeat rose again, you clutched your chest, your legs taking you to the door automatically and you opened it wide for him, his hand still mid-air from knocking.
His dishevelled appearance prompted you to take a deep analysis of him.
Moonlight shone on him, and he was out of breath, eyes slightly glistening and mouth barely open for the higher intake of oxygen. He was still in his black shirt, the top few buttons being unbuttoned at the current moment which just exposed his torso.
βHeeseung?β you breathed out, making sure you weren't dreaming.
βIs Isa here?β he asked, voice stern.
And you'd be lying if you deny the disappointment that filled up your body with his question.
He wasn't here for you.
You tried not to frown but your voice did quiver while answering, βOh, nβno she's not here.β you gulped, mentally scolding yourself for being a puddle in front of him.
βGood,β he stepped in further, closing the door behind him which confused you enough to tilt your head, observing him with raised brows.
Another step.
There wasn't much space at the entrance, making it easy for him to have you standing against the wall.
βHeeββ you were cut off by his body being pressed to yours, warmth radiating his body.
He was serious, yet you could see the minute efforts of his, which were overpowered by his want.
He wanted you.
He didn't come here to meet Isa, simply wanting to make sure you had privacy.
For a second, you thought that he'll kiss you right away, but instead, he stopped β his forehead against yours as he searched your face with any hint of discomfort.
βI'm sorry,β he whispered, just like he had done before.
Your sanity was hanging by a thread, the tension so high that it made you weak in the knees. The pause was merely two-second long, it felt like eternity still. Your thoughts turned static and his tall frame held you up in place.
The next moment, his lips are on yours. Your eyes flutter close as you kiss him back.
How could you ever say no to him?
You gasp at his fervency, hands wrapping around his neck as you pull him closer at the same time he squeezes your waist, getting a gasp out of you, which was enough for his tongue to taste you.
He hummed, so perfect.
Was it jealousy from seeing you with a kid? Was it the constant reminder that he won't be able to do it again if not done now? Was it the realization that he was so down bad for you?
Maybe all of it, that's why he couldn't stop until you both had to break up for a split second, catching your breath but he held on to you, tight. Forehead still on yours, the dim light making his wet lips shine brightly.
He called your name with such need, βI don't know what we are or where this kiss will take us,β he confessed, βBut I know that I don't want to regret not kissing you when I had the chance to.β he breathes out.
He cupped your cheek, caressing it gently with his thumb. βAnd I can't seem to let you go,β he smiled softly, βNot when I have you in my arms, no.β
βThen don't,β you whisper, holding on to his arm.
βTouch me, ruin me, Hee,β you were drunk in his essence. βI trust you.β
βI just want my first to be withββ you paused, your eyes boring into his, ββsomeone I trust.β
βI just want my first to be withββ you paused, your eyes boring into his, ββsomeone I trust.β
That's what you had said, looking at him, that's what drove him crazy. He has to have you.
βAnd I trust you too.β he softly pecked your lips.
Your skin tingles wherever he touches you, and he kisses you until your legs hit the bed.
Despite his longing desire, he takes it slow and helps you lay down on your bed, him removing his shoes and getting on top of you. You wondered if he could see the rapid heaving of your chest, or how anxious you were.
He leaned over, looking at you with those gorgeous brown eyes, βDo you want this?β
You felt tingles all over your body, a little more around your lower abdomen, but you nodded nevertheless. You wanted him.
βI need words, baby,β he planted another kiss on your lips.
βYes, yes I do,β you whispered and he smiled, βDo you want it too, Hee?β you asked.
βFuck, yes! I want you so much.β he groaned.
Addiction would be the right word to describe it. You were addicted to his lips, slightly chapped yet giving you the perfect friction, while he was addicted to your now red and slightly swollen ones β credit to him.
βSo pretty,β he breathed out, stroking the corner of your lip with his thumb. He held you up slightly, zipping down your dress till your collarbones were fully exposed for him to see. And he paused there to admire you for a second, staring as if he hadn't seen anyone in a bra before.
Your legs rested back against the mattress as he sprinkled little kisses on your neck, nibbling at certain places for a while before pressing himself against your thigh.
He was hard.
Something about this made you moan and Heeseung could have sworn it to be the prettiest sound he'd ever heard. With that, he fully-stripped you out of your dress, leaving you in your lace panties and a bra, straps falling down as he made space to place even more open-mouthed kisses on your clavicle.
You sighed, kneading your fingers in his silky hair, eyes closing with the euphoric sensation coursing through your body. He felt perfect, his skin burning with need made the whole room feel hotter.
βI should have kissed you sooner,β he groaned, and it made you wetter than you already were, panties soaking wet and he was just getting started.
You tugged on his shirt, which he removed in a swift β courtesy of the number of unbuttoned buttons. It was mesmerising, you had never been this intimate with anyone, so running your fingers on his toned torso felt like something coming straight out of your dream.
βDoes it feel good, baby?β he asked you.
βHmm,β you held on his shoulder as he got rid of your bra, slowly swirling his finger around your nipples β making them harden under his touch, βSo good!β you gasped.
He chuckled, replacing his fingers with his mouth, sucking on your tits gently while he decided to explore greater areas with you, by caressing your lower abdomen, inching closer to your pathetically wet core with each passing second.
You wanted to say something, to do something yet all you could muster was a weak whimper as you clenched around nothing. His tongue worked wonders on your boobs and you couldn't help but look at him.
He was so invested, you could see how he was at a war with himself, wanting to fuck you right that second but also in need to make you feel good.
βMβmore,β you mumbled lowly.
βYeah?β he gently touched your wetness, βWant more?β he asked, moving your panties to the side and rubbing one of his finger against your folds.
βSo wet, did I make you that needy?β he bit his lip, enjoying each second of making you a shy mess.
His arm flexed as he experimentally dipped his two digits deep inside your pussy, giving it a good stretch before slowly pumping it in and out. A short moan escaped your mouth, turning into a hum right after.
That encouraged him to further get down, spreading your legs even more, completely discarding your panties before continuing to use his slender fingers on your folds, thumb further stimulating your clit.
His breath could be felt on your core, your fingers only brought his face closer to where you needed him the most.
βI've heard that scissoring helps,β he explained before spreading his fingers inside you, stretching your walls even more.
βYβyou've heard?β you asked, biting your lip to conceal a moan.
He let out a breathy laugh, brushing his lips against your pussy, βI've never done this before, sweetheart,β he confessed, somehow shy. βYou're my first as well.β
Your heartbeat skyrocketed at his revelation, you couldn't help but hold yourself up, grabbing his hand and making him look right at your breathless and very naked self.
βWhat?β you had honestly thought that he had some experience, he most certainly did seem like he knew what he was doing.
βLike I said, I trust you,β he whispered, thumb brushing delicately on your cheekbone.
Despite the fact that you felt insanely needy, just like Heeseung, you couldn't help but feel loved at his nonchalant gestures.
Without saying much, you pulled him in yet another kiss. It was mesmerising to say the least and he ended up smiling into the kiss, gently squeezing your tit and gasping when he felt your fingers near his clothed crotch.
βFuck,β he groaned deeply, not stopping for a second as he plunged his fingers with a newfound speed. βPerfect.β he praised, worshipping your body with each peck and caress he left on you.
Massaging his cock, which was fully hardened now, you couldn't wait to feel him around you. Also slightly scared as you wondered if you'll be able to take him in.
Just as before, you tugged on his jeans the next, whimpering as a way to beg him for more, which he understood, getting up and unbuckling his belt before sliding his jeans down along with his boxers.
Now that his cock was free and hit his lower abdomen, you gasped to see his size. He was big. You hadn't seen a dick in real life before but knowing from the porn videos you had previously watched, his dick was certainly admirable. His tip was leaking with precum.
βOh godββ you breathed out when he took out two foil packets from the discarded jeans, holding them close to his stomach, which also put grabbed your attention, he had faint abs which suited his body well.
βYou came prepared, I see.β teasing Heeseung was like your second nature.
βSungchan gave them to me to use with you, but who knew it'll actually come in handy?β he got on top of you again, his dick pressing against your inner thigh.
His expression turned serious the exact moment he asked you the next question, βYou sure about this?β
βYes,β you nodded, βPlease, Hee, I need you so much.β
The desire in your voice made his dick twitch, he cursed yet again and grabbed one packet of condom.
βHeeββ you stopped him, grabbing the rubber from him, βCan I put it on you?β you weren't sure where that bravery came from, although you didn't regret it a bit. Especially when you saw him shiver at your offer, he was just as desperate if not more.
You squeezed his shaft, rolling the condom down his dick. He licked his lips while watching your actions the whole time, throwing his head back, βI'll fucking cum if you keep doing that,β he said when you generously kissed his tip before moving back.
He wanted to fuck you then and there.
βYou drive me crazy,β he groaned, his lips ghosting your neck.
He positioned himself, his tip at your entrance as you wrapped your arms around his shoulder, foreheads touching.
βI'll go slow, let me know when to stop, yeah?β
He assured you even though it was the first for him too.
You whispered out another yes, closing your eyes as he pumped his dick a few times before entering your cunt, your wetness making it easy for him to bottom out.
The voice you let out was a mixture of moan and whimper, the stretch making you clench around his dick as he groaned your name.
You took deep breaths as Heeseung showered you with pepper light kisses all over your face and neck, caressing every part of your body as best as he could muster.
He could have sworn you looked like an angel.
βSo pretty, so fucking beautiful oh lordββ his voice strained as he started thrusting into you, slowly and sloppily, as best as he could acclimatise with the newfound experience β just as you were doing.
And soon enough, the pleasure took over the pain. Your moans grew louder enough to resonate in your cabin and you genuinely hoped no one else heard you or they won't let you breathe the next day.
His name was on your tongue, your mind, your whole body.
Lee Heeseung, the guy you gave your virginity to.
And the guy who gave his virginity to you.
His hair bounced with each time he pistoned in you, breathing getting harder and lips pressed on the side of your cheek, close to your ear.
βYou close, baby?β he asked softly.
βMhm, you feel so good, Hee,β you brokenly mumble, gasping when he rubs your clit, other hand also shifting you impossibly closer to him.
He still took it slow, memorising each of your expressions and your voice, imprinting the whole thing in his mind to stay forever.
He went on as if he was devoted was you while you admired him for being so good to you. He mapped out your blissful face as you softly rocked your hips against his.
Your pussy throbbed as you approached your orgasm, βHβhee, I'm so closeββ
He could feel it, your legs shaking and your walls clenching around him which succeeded in making his dick twitch, his own orgasm close.
βGo on, sweetheart,β he kissed your temple.
Your back arched as you released your juices all over his cock, your walls squeezing his cock, making him feel proud of himself for being able to please you and also the boost for him to come.
The sight only stimulated him to moan out your name lowly, filling the condom up with his own cum before collapsing on top of you, making sure to not put too much of his weight on you.
You certainly did feel sore after that session, your fingers softly brushing his hair away from his forehead as you pressed a soft kiss there, which successfully made him snuggle closer to your body.
βThank you,β it came out as a whisper.
βNo, thank you for trusting me,β he said earnestly.
He took off the now cum filled rubber and threw it in the trashcan kept beside your bed.
You smiled, warmth spreading in your chest as you cradled his neck, pulling him in. The kiss was slow and sensual, the heart-melting kind and you enjoyed how his tongue explored your mouth. A sigh leaves your mouth in unison.
βHow do you feel?β you couldn't help but ask him.
βEuphoric,β he smiled as you laughed. βAnd you?β he asked, tracing your spine.
βWell, I feel heavenly,β you grinned, content with the proximity.
βCome on, let's get you cleaned up.β he got up, getting you his black shirt to cover up for a while as he wore his boxers.
You quietly scanned his body, wondering how you got lucky enough to share this moment with someone so attractive. His red and swollen lips made him look even more appealing.
He helped you get up, holding your waist when you told him how sore your legs feel, holding you by your waist and helping you settle on the sink as he gets a few paper napkins.
You observe as he cleans you up with the wet napkins, mouth forming into a pout with concentration β the whole situation making you feel shy.
βWhy?β he asked as he noticed you avoiding eye contact. βShy now? You were moaning my name just a few minutes backββ you cut him off by slapping his shoulder.
He laughed, settling himself between your legs when you wrapped your arms around him, burying your face in his neck.
βI like you a lot, y/n,β he confessed and you held on tighter.
It felt like a dream β like you'd wake up tomorrow and he won't be there with you.
βI like you a lot more,β you whispered.
And it felt real β his lips on yours, they felt real, the butterflies in your stomach, they all felt real.
He held you tenderly, as he had always wanted to, singing you to sleep and whining each time you opened your eyes to look at him. His tousled hair covered his eyes, which in your opinion, made him look even prettier. You called him cute, acting as if you didn't beg for his dick a while back.
He falls asleep faster in your embrace, hugging you just the way he wanted to, when he was envious of Sungchan's poor plushie. But hey, he did get you after all.
With another look regarded with fondness, you kissed his cheek, murmuring a 'good night' to him before joining him in the dreamland.
To say Isa was shocked would be an understatement. Coming back to see Heeseung and you cuddling like the tooth-rotting, fluffy couple from a cheesy rom-com while sleeping together wasn't a scene she had expected to see.
She also thanked the blanket for covering a very shirtless Hee and a very loose-shirt-clad you, rushing to freshen up, leaving soon after to give you both privacy.
It was the last day at the camp, you all would leave tomorrow morning. But you were happy, waking up in Heeseung's arms, he pulled you closer when he saw you awake.
βMorning, Bambi,β you cooed.
βIs that what I am now?β he asked groggily.
You hummed, soon letting out a yelp as he helped you stand up again. He knew you were sore still and he made it his mission to stay by your side the whole day.
He accompanied you while freshening up, the tip of his ears getting red seeing you wearing his shirt, the top buttons were undone and your hair was messy.
He called you pretty endlessly.
Even during the breakfast, he made sure you say down first and got you the food himself as you avoided the questions thrown by both your roommates β which he answered after coming back, βShe's tired, don't bother her.β he exaggerated, succeeding in making you roll your eyes, it made him giggle.
Stupidly cute Lee Heeseung.
He then insisted on sitting at the same spot under the tree where you had carved your initials. βNow we really do look like a couple,β he smirked, coming closer.
βLet's be it then,β you pecked his nose, βFor a day.β
A day, that's what you had since you both despised the idea of online dating now that you had a taste of what you could be when together.
βMy girlfriend,β he breathed out, kissing you tenderly, βFor a day.β his forehead bumped against yours softly. The cool breeze uplifts your mood as you sat with him, hand in hand, exchanging soft kisses between your conversations.
Safe to say, he didn't leave your side the entire day, pouting and calling you his girlfriend with a goofy smile β which grew further when you called him your pretty boy.
You were elated, smiling the whole day which came naturally to you, courtesy of your boyfriend. The pain subsided soon, which allowed you to take a walk for a while now that it was nighttime.
Heeseung had gone to his cabin for a while to pack his belongings, he wanted you to come along but you had different plans.
Grabbing a towel, you slowly made your way through the park and to that very place where the lake was. The part used for swimming practices to be precise.
Stripping yourself until you were in your bra and panties, you slowly walked into the lake, the lukewarm water reaching your chest. You sighed, staring at the night sky, mentally reminding yourself that you'll have to leave tomorrow.
You had grown to love this place, you spend all your summers here. Meeting Heeseung only added to your list of joys.
And just like that, you closed your eyes and enjoyed your minute of solitude.
βReally? Without me?β you turned to see Heeseung removing his t-shirt, and getting in the water with you.
You had no clue how he found you but you were glad. You hummed teasingly and he wrapped his arms around you.
βNo one's around, wanna make out?β he offered, eyes shining.
βI don't know, Hee. What if someone sees usββ he didn't let you continue your teasing any further.
His lips were on yours already.
This feeling β amazing.
You weren't sure what love was. But you knew that Heeseung was the closest person you could associate with the word β love.
He was delighted to know that Isa won't be the room yet again and he took that opportunity to spend the night with you. It consisted of plethora of kisses and a β as said by Heeseung β diminutive amount of touching.
But he did love to hold you, to grip your body and caress all of it, being deep into body worshipping as per your observations.
βGood night, girlfriend,β he said with a full heartedly.
He made you happy.
Especially when he held on to you the entire night and didn't let go of you even when you woke up. You could see the sadness in his eyes, a small frown on his face.
βCan't we stay for longer?β he asked, knowing the answer already.
You hated time.
His hand never left yours till you reached the bus area, saying your goodbyes to everyone. He held it tighter when the art guy came all the way over to say bye to you.
You found his jealousy cute.
Isa was supposed to leave in the same bus as you, which would give you more time with her later, whereas Sungchan had another bus, just like Heeseung β all going different ways.
Mr. Jin had winked seeing your locked fingers, βPlenty of time at night, just as I said,β he started, βAh, young love!β he gushed.
You both exchanged looks, trying to get away and to save yourself from further embarassment.
βEveryone is staring,β you whispered when he pulled you closer by your belt loop.
βLet them,β he mumbled.
The luggage was loaded, the buses scheduled to depart in five minutes and you both were having a hard time letting go. Keeping your tears at bay was another challenge for you.
βI'll miss you so much,β he sighed and you said the same.
He even gave you a chocolate bar to give to your little sister. He remembered these little things about you which made it even harder for you to leave him.
And then he kissed your for the last time, passionately under the sky, with no care about others who we openly watching, someone mumbled βabout timeβ but you were too busy absorbing everything Hee had to offer.
His lips were still sweet from the drink he had during breakfast, his smell ever strong β perfectly enough to send your brain into overdrive.
And just like that, your summer romance came to an end, the end which you despised more than anything.
Being the angel he was, he gave you his prettiest smile before parting ways.
The first tear fell down when the bus officially left the camp, Isa holding you through it all.
She was an angel.
Yes, you hated how it ended all so fast, but going back, you wouldn't change a thing.
He put in efforts to text you. His enthusiasm made your cheeks hurt from smiling too much. Which made your sister suspicious of you having a boyfriend.
But again, you didn't have any labels after your one-day-relationship. Your first and only relationship.
Things switched a month later when his mocks for university started, his undivided attention on studying and his career, which you admired.
Until you lost touch.
All his socials went down, deactivated when the exams came but he did have the decency to tell you in advance, and you knew it wouldn't be the same after.
And you were right.
That's how your summer romance came to a bittersweet end.
So you wrote him a letter.
The one you'd never send out. Ever.
Dear Lee Heeseung,
First of all, I absolutely despise how much I miss your honey doe eyes which I looked forward to seeing each day during the entirety of the camp. You're like the epitome of perfection with your good looks, neverending talents and most importantly, your impressive approach at sweet-talking.
That's the core reason why I came to the realisation that I am capable of liking a certain person beyond words. You had me conflicted, Hee.
You were calm, collected, yet nervous and charming, you called me pretty while showing me the most glorious sky I had ever laid my eyes upon. Perhaps that was the cue for me to stop. But you made it so hard that I only fell harder.
You think you were so cool, calling me pretty names, stealing me away and nonchalantly singing songs which you knew would send me deeper into the spiral.
When I met you for the first time, I was taller and you were a lean guy who cried each time you fell down during trails and games. But then you came back taller, prettier with a mischievous glint in your eyes and I knew this year wasn't going to be remotely the same when things switched and you were the one who kept my frame up the entire time, almost like a bodyguard. But at the same time, you made my knees go weak. Sure, your looks were alluring from the very start but I never saw you beyond the line of friends.
But I knew I was a goner when you asked me for a good night kiss. A very sly move of you. Then you actually kissed me in the woods and completely took over my mind, also accepting how you indeed wanted to kiss me.
I could have sworn I hated that day, we didn't have answers. But once you came over knocking on the door at night, and kissed me with everything you had to offer, you gave me a piece of you I would never forget. And I fell in love with that day.
I loved you. I loved how caring you were, I would be lying if I said I didn't want more of you.
I'm uncertain as to why I'm writing this, maybe because it stings how short-lived our βromanceβ was. I could simply blame the distance for it, however, I also wonder β Should we have tried harder?
