“Hey, you.”
Your voice can barely be heard over the crash of the waves, but Seungcheol still turns his head at the sound of your greeting, a soft smile already on his lips. He reaches up from where he’s sitting on the sand, tugging on your hand until you sit beside him. “What took you so long?” he asks in a hoarse whisper; it had been a long day of driving, but at the sight of the coast, the two of you decided to make a little stop before heading to your hotel.
“I was gonna get you something warm to drink over at that 24-hour donut shop, but they said their coffee machine was down,” you say, pouting. Although it’s basically summer, the night air is frigid, and each ocean wave brings a breeze that bites at your cheeks. When he sees you shivering next to him, Seungcheol wastes no time in wrapping his arm around you and pulling you into the warmth of his chest. You feel it vibrate when he chuckles.
“That’s okay, baby,” he says, and from the way he’s grinning, you already know he’s up to something. He gives your shoulder a little squeeze. “I actually know a better way we can warm up--”
“Seungcheol!” You smack his chest to reprimand him, though you’re already laughing along with him. “We are not doing that!”
“What, that’s not even what I was talking about!” His eyes still shine with laughter when he suddenly gets up then pulls you to your feet, his big, warm hands enveloping yours. “I was gonna say we should dance.”
He leads you away from the edge of the parking lot to the shore of the beach. The white light of the street lamps doesn't quite reach where you are, and you’re surprised by how far away it all seems; any streetlight seems to get swallowed by the dark waters and any sound seems to be carried off by the wind. It is as though you and Seungcheol are truly the only two people that existed.
If not for the radiance of the moon, you and Seungcheol would have been completely blanketed in the dark of the night. It somehow seems brighter tonight as it illuminates the endless ocean and the face of your love. Even after all this time, the sight of his dimpled smile and his gentle eyes that seem to drip with honey makes your heart soar in your chest, elated to know that it belongs to him.
And there, on the perfect stage, you hold one another and sway to the rhythm of the waves.
