the plan for a relaxing day at the beach finally managed to leave the group chat and be put into action. everyone drove up to heeseung’s place, as his house was closer to the beach, and brought along their beach items. heeseung offered to drive all of you to the beach, which began arguments between the boys while stuffing beach towels in the trunk. you didn’t mind where you sat, as long as you didn’t sit next to sunghoon.
yes, you always tell yourself it’s childish to be stubborn and not sit next to him but you have good reasons. sunghoon has been your friend the shortest time in your group and somehow has managed to discover every pet peeve and annoyance you have before jay could fully remember your birthday. he uses that to his advantage whenever out to eat together or play games. he thinks it's hilarious but it gets on your nerves.
sitting next to him would mean you wouldn’t be able to avoid his jabs and his teasing. you could have worn your headphones to ignore him but you forgot it at home, as well as your sunscreen. are you always this forgetful?
someone would surely not let you forget that.
“out of everyone, i’d expect the girl to have sunscreen.” sunghoon places his bag in the trunk of the car, patting it down, and turning around to smirk at you.
how lucky he is that you remembered sunglasses and are glaring at him behind them.
“thanks, sunghoon." "it’s good to see you too.” you bitterly smiled and walked away.
the gravel underneath your sandals rattled with every step and you knew sunghoon was following you as the gravel under his shoes were loud.
“was that too mean?” sunghoon spoke behind you, gaining up to you. “you know, i have extra sunscreen if you need it.”
you stopped in your path, sunghoon was late to stop as he had to walk back to stand in front of you. before you could ever accept his (skeptical) generous offer, you were searching for a smirk or any hint of a joke in his mannerisms. you were baffled he was serious and truly offering you sunscreen.
your lips parted to say something to him but sunoo’s scream trailed out of the house. he raced down the path the two of you were on as jungwon had a water gun in his hand. heeseung and jake followed out the door with beach chairs in hand. heeseung spotted the two of you together and flashed a big grin your way.
“ready to go?” heeseung smiled and bounced his gaze from you to sunghoon.
you and sunghoon nodded silently and watched heeseung walk down the path to his car. the trees shook in the summer wind and a bird cried overhead.
you’d have a lot to think about in the car.
you all showed up at the beach and jay and niki were already there - heeseung told you on the drive there that they rode their skateboards down. sunghoon had sat in the back along with jake and were talking nonsense, you took the passenger before anyone could but as the drive began you wished you sat by sunghoon.. for some reason.
the beach was breathtaking, the wind was strong enough to create waves for surfers but not too strong enough to blow sand around or tip over umbrellas.
you got out of the car after checking your hair in the sun visor mirror and walked to the trunk. the majority of the bags and coolers were taken by the boys and you grabbed what was left.
you all settled close to shore, with a tent for shade and a table for the most important beach food: watermelon. jay got to cutting the mouth-watering fruit immediately as everyone set up the spot.
setting your towel down on the sand and taking off your sundress, you were ready to check the water. a watermelon in your hand and your sunglasses perched on your head as you walked to the shore. it was freezing, but you chose to stand there and enjoy the horizon.
someone's idea of fun was to surprise you and that was jay. jay had put on his sunscreen, laid out his towel and his cooler, and spotted you approaching the shore. he saw that the others were occupied by drinks and talking so jay took the opportunity to seize jungwon’s water gun (when he wasn’t watching) and spray your open back.
stealthy, jay walked around the tent and found jungwon’s chair and his several summer items. jay laughed to himself as he found jungwon’s bucket and shovel but looked past it and found the water gun.
sunghoon was still thinking about you. he watched you earlier excited for watermelon and admired you silently. he is aware he annoys you but he finds your reactions cute. as you revealed your swimsuit, he knew he teased you too much at times but if he could tell you how cute you were, he would mean it, and not in a teasing way.
you placed the rime of the watermelon up the shore as you moved back into the water. nothing could bother you at this time.
that's when freezing water hits your bare back and you gasp. immediately, you default any messing with you to be sunghoon's doing and you yell sunghoon's name as you fall in.
this alerted sunghoon, who wasn't paying attention to what was going on, into worry. from what he sees and hears, you've called for his help and jay is laughing at you a couple steps away. aunghoon felt protective suddenly.
out of nowhere, sunghoon shouted as he walked over.
jay tries to put a stop to his laughter and apologize to help you up but sunghoon gets to you first as you groan sitting up. you realize that it wasn't sunghoon who sprayed you and instead it was jay. focusing on sunghoon beside you, you feel your cheeks burn and it's not from the sun.
you wonder where sunghoon has gone because before you an angel with his hand out.
you take his hand but not after sheepishly thanking him under your breath. you get back on your feet and anticipate sunghoon to say something to you as he pauses in front of you.
“sorry y/n!” jay says louder for you to hear and rubs his face. that's when he is struck with the same freezing water he shot at you. sunghoon stands beside you, his ankles in the water, and splashes the water at jay relentlessly. sunghoon’s form of revenge.
you began to chuckle at the way jay pleaded and sunghoon’s amused laugh as he continued. sunghoon turns his head back at you and asks you to help him. you couldn’t resist, jay deserved it.
jay seemed to remember he had a water gun after being (if not entirely already) drowned in water and fired back with his best attempt to block the water as well.
it’s sunghoon who cries now, shivering as the water hits his skin.
the commotion is spotted by niki and heeseung.
“oh my gosh.” niki laughs, very entertained by this.
jake and jungwon look over, both holding watermelon slices. jungwon spots his water gun in jay's possession.
“hey! that’s my water gun!” he points.
jake takes a bite and then spits some juice from laughing when noticing jay’s hair resembling a wet dog.
jay still sprays the two of you, moving his hair out of his eyes as you two are defenseless.
heeseung sees you and sunghoon together, not bickering for once. heeseung knows you two very well and was the one to have you two meet, he finds it very surprising you two are helping each other.
your hands are held up in front of you and your eyes are squeezed shut, yelling for Jay to quit it. right after you yelled, you feel the water no longer on you. you open your eyes to see sunghoon, with his arms out, standing in front of you to shield you. your cheeks burn a soft pink.
“ACK IT'S SO COLD!” sunghoon exclaims.
you're baffled, this isn’t what you envisioned this day out with sunghoon would be. for some reason, you felt the need to shield sunghoon as well.
you move under his arm and stand in front of him. heroically saying, “i can protect you!”
sunghoon couldn’t enjoy your cuteness as he was still getting hit by jay. adoring but slightly disappointed in your efforts.
“i would thank you but you're much smaller than me so i’m still getting hit.”
“no. i trust you, i am blocking all of it.”
“short people and their determination..” sunghoon teases.
you sharply scoff, turning to him right as the spraying stopped - jay ran out of water.
“oh, screw you then.” you push sunghoon.
sunghoon manages to keep his balance and smirks.
“oh yeah?” sunghoon stands up, seeing the terror in your eyes. you try to make a run for it but sunghoon gets a hold of your waist.
you can’t help but laugh as he holds you above the shallow water.
“say sorry or I’ll throw you in.” sunghoon holds you.
you are laughing and can't get words out.
“are you ticklish?” sunghoon asks, a smile forming on his lips from your infectious laugh.
“i don't know why i’m laughing” tears are forming in your eyes. it’s uncontrollable and you don’t know why.
“but i am sorry!” you catch your breath and grip sunghoon’s arm, scared to be thrown in.
you get down and fix your hair out of your face. you look over at sunghoon and you can't lie and pretend you haven't been admiring his torso. he's still a pain in the butt and you won’t forget that.
you take the chance when he’s shaking his hair out and splash him with more water. he definitely could throw you in now but this is a game of cat and mouse now. you make a run for it when sunghoon's mouth hangs open in betrayal.
sunoo looks like your best candidate for a bodyguard and you wrap your arms around him. sunghoon runs up to everyone under the tent.
“tou are not dragging me into this.” sunoo voices at you.
“you two are like tom and jerry.” jungwon adds.
“sunghoon is tom.” you say as you grab another watermelon slice.
“because I’m tall?” sunghoon grabs a piece too, deciding to drop the chase but more than happy to chase you around if you get annoying again.
“no, because you start the arguments.” you evilly grin.
“no, i do not.” sunghoon shakes his head, his mouth full of watermelon. you smiled at how cute he could be upset and eating watermelon.
“you do.” niki chimes in, hitting a volleyball on sunghoon’s shoulder.
sunghoon was going to say something but niki spoke before him.
“there’s an open net," "let's play a round.. or two."
the sky was getting dimmer but you all promised you would be back home before sunset. volleyball was tiring and even more fun when sunghoon was on your team when before it would always be the opposite. sunghoon called your name when you could hit the ball over and roared when you got them a point. you’ve always found sunghoon handsome and fun but it was present now. the game died down and everyone returned to the spot to pack everything up.
you and sunghoon sneak glances at each other as you loaded the car and even split a last part of the watermelon. you and sunghoon were on your way to the car when you remembered you left your water at the volleyball court. you ran off without telling sunghoon and assumed he would sit and wait in the car.
you reached the court and grabbed it and took a small sip. you stood there and looked around at the people who were heading home as well. the horizon was slowly growing with colors and your eyes trailed until you saw sunghoon walking over. you nearly choked and had to clear your throat and turn your head so Sunghoon didn’t see you surprised.
you waited until he came to the court. he seemed to have a lot on his mind and it was different from just earlier, you two were sharing smiles. you read his face the best you could and hoped he would explain his expression.
sunghoon sighed deeply and looked at you with heavy eyes.
those words leaving Sunghoon’s mouth felt painful. You’re hoping he’s okay because why on earth would be apologizing?
“for what?” your eyebrows furrow, genuinely worried.
“everything before.” he sighs, his eyes shining with the orange sky. you didn’t know what to say or what he could mean, everything was going well.
“i guess i never knew how to communicate my feelings to you and i’ve acted in a way that hurt you.” "i don't want my teasing to ruin our relationship."
you feel bad that you've let him think he's causing you trouble with teasing when you have just been childish. you don't mind his teasing, and if anything you like when he laughs at your expense.
you take sunghoon’s hand and look at him.
“sunghoon.” that’s all you had to say and sunghoon’s attention was yours. you knew you had to say the perfect thing to communicate your feelings.
“i always forgive you,” “and i know why.”
sunghoon looks at you softly, listening intently.
those words leaving your mouth felt truthful and genuine. You felt vulnerable sharing those with him but you knew that this is what you truly felt. you were annoyed with him because you didn’t understand you were in love with him.
not a lot of people were still left on the beach, sunghoon wouldn’t have cared if it was one person or a million. he wanted to kiss you and kiss you dearly underneath the purple and orange clouds and by the salt waves. he wanted to scoop you into his arms and be with you until sunrise.
sunghoon took your waist and moved you closer to him, stopping before he would kiss you and not be able to stop. his heart and your heart were pumping fast in your chests.
in a sunghoon fashion, he still managed to annoy you. How annoying that he’s been so caring and sweet today. how annoying he’s apologized for things he did because he liked you. how annoying he wouldn’t just kiss you and be your boyfriend.
you roll your eyes with your lips curling in a smile.
sunghoon laughs softly and leans in, his lips fit yours. who knew kissing would make your thoughts melt away and your heart sing? taking in every second of this kiss and it felt right. you broke apart and you've lost your confidence after the kiss. you can’t help but blush and avoid his gaze.
sunghoon notices this and turns your head to him and his smile and laughs are infectious.
“hey, what happened to the girl I kissed?” he teased, the confidence and shyness had traded from one another as he smirked.
“she’s been replaced by someone much cuter.” you’re essentially a strawberry at this point, he’s now discovered a new skin tone you could achieve. you playfully hit his shoulder and walk through the sand.
he catches up to you and interlocks your fingers. sunghoon's apology was a kiss to your knuckle as he brought it to his soft lips.
“do you want to walk around and or get ice cream?” you look up at sunghoon and he melts.
“don’t make me wait.” sunghoon takes off, running ahead of you, and makes you laugh for the hundredth time.
laughing will not get old with sunghoon and you know it. charging after him, you know that you’ll never get tired of his teasing or how he smiles.
it’s impossible to be annoyed by him because you’re in love with him and he is in love with you.
