chapter V
photo booth // moonsun short story(Moonbyul's pov)
Seulgi is acting weird.
She doesn't go to work with me anymore and I have to take the metro alone.
I think I am getting over Solar. But I won't get closer to that photo booth ever again.
Seulgi and Irene are dating. I have the feeling they are hiding something from me but I truly doesn't care anymore. I just wanna keep moving on my professional life.
If I never hear about Solar again, better.
(Solar's pov)
Wheein is picking me up everyday to go to work. I am almost forgetting about Moonbyul. Almost.
I remember her every night, when I look at her pictures in my drawer. I don't really wanna forget her, to be honest.
I started to flirt with this guy, Eric Nam. He is cute, but I don't feel half of the things I felt for Moonbyul. And it scares me.
Scares me the thought that maybe, I will never find someone like her. That maybe I lost my soulmate because of my fear and insecure. Scares me that maybe I broke her heart and she will never forgive me.
I was brushing my teeth when Wheein called me.
- Today is my day off and I forgot to tell you, so I won't be picking you up, I'm sorry.
- Oh, no problem, I still have time to take the metro! Have a nice day, Wheeinie!
As I arrived at the metro station, I receive a message from Eric. Today I would go on a date with him but to be honest I would rather stay home. When texting, I bump with another person.
- I'm so sorry! It was all my fault, how clumsy of me! - I say smiling awkwardly, that's when I look up to find a pair of bright eyes staring at me. - Moonbyul...
My heart stopped. I didn't know what to do or say or... Should I run?
- Solar... - She says low, her eyes locked in mine.
In that moment I knew, we were meant to be. The way she looks at me, the way I can't take my eyes of her... We were meant to be since the start.
- I think I should give you an explanation... - I say low looking down. - I didn't come to the metro that day, and when I came here later that afternoon, I saw you but I was too scared and-
I was cut off by her index finger.
- We can restart. - She smiles softly at me.
- Aren't you mad at me? Didn't I break your heart? - I sigh clearly blaming myself for being mean.
- Yes you did. But now you're here in front of me and everything seems right. And I wanted to yell at you, saying how much it hurts when you stopped answer from nowhere and god knows where you were! I- She stutters, sighing - I can't do it... I just feel like hugging you - She giggles.
My smile grew and I hugged her tight.
- I am so sorry I was such a coward... I am so sorry.
She broke the hug, passing her hands through my hair.
- Where do you work? I wanna pick you up today so we can do something... Get to know each other, maybe? - She smirked.
I bite my inner lip and look down.
- I work at the same café as Irene. - I say low, ashamed.
- Why didn't I- She stops talking and sigh, nodding - you hided yourself from me... I looked for you everywhere, Solar... - Her voice breaks, she wasn't mad. She was sad.
- I am so sorry. - I say as tears started to fill my eyes.
- It's okay now. - She hugs me again - As I said, we will restart, okay?
We took our paths to work, smiling like fools. Finally we were together.
All day I was being teased by everyone at work. And guess what? It wasn't Wheein's day off. They knew it would happen.
- It was our idea. - Irene says with a big grin in her face.
I threw a towel on her, smiling big.
I counted the hours until the day was getting to the end. I will spend my night with her. I wanna scream of happiness!
She walked in the café, smiling at me. Today, I wouldn't hide.
All the girls stopped working just to look at us. I blushed and Moonbyul smirked, liking the attention.
- Hello, sunshine. Do I have the permission to take you out tonight?
I blushed even more as everyone was like "aww".
- Yes, you do. - I say, smiling and taking her hand.
As I was walking towards the door, I turn back to the girls, mouthing a "thank you" followed by the sincerer smile I have ever smiled.
We decided to stay at my house, watching a movie and eating popcorn.
Cliche, I know. But well... Our story is a cliche one. Why would it be different?
It was incredible. So incredible I forgot I had a date with Eric.
But who cares? My soulmate, the one I will never get tired of waking up by her side every morning; the one I will always love every detail, was right by my side, looking at me as I was the most beautiful flower. What she doesn't know is that for me, she is the most precious jewelry.
I couldn't just look at her. I needed to feel her. Slowly we closed the space between us and pressed our lips together.
Now I am sure, our destinies are traced and nothing can pull us apart.
