[Play the song: Lately (White Confession – INFINITE]

No One’s POV

As soon Myungsoo opened his eyes the next day in the morning, he already has a smile on his face thinking about the fact that Ha Rin is just on his side hugging him closely.

“Good morning honey~” He whispered and kissed the top of her head.

“Good morning oppa~” Myungsoo was then confused upon hearing Ha Rin’s voice that greeted him back and has a bright smile on her as she look up at him.

Myungsoo kept silent and just remained on his position not wanting to let go of Ha Rin and with his smile that was never gone from the moment he opened his eyes that morning.

“Aren’t we going to get up from bed yet to go to work?” Ha Rin asked curiously.

“No work for the two of us today.” Myungsoo said plainly.

Ha Rin was caught by surprise by this and sat up instantly with her eyes widened. “What do you mean? We’ll be in trouble if we don’t go to work today oppa.” She expressed in worry.

“We won’t be. Remember what our dads told us during Christmas?” Myungsoo questioned her still lying down.

Ha Rin tried to remember for a moment and nodded. “Spend a day off work and just explore Japan.” She said and smiled.

“Exactly! So today, we’ll just explore and enjoy Japan. Understand?” Myungsoo said and sat up beside her.

Ha Rin nodded earnestly. “One more thing, give me your phone.” Myungsoo demanded and in instant she gave it to him and kept her confusion in her.

“No phones for today.” He simply said and kept both their phones inside the drawer beside the bed.

“No. What if our parents call us?” Ha Rin asked in worry.

“It won’t matter Ha Rin, we’ll be back there  tomorrow anyway. Stop worrying.” He assured her with a warm smile.

“Do I always have to be in every picture that you keep on taking including the view around the city of Japan oppa?” Ha Rin asked as Myungsoo kept on taking images as they walk around Japan with his DSLR camera.

“What? I love photography. And the view is beautiful for me. Smile.” He said and took another picture of Ha Rin.

Ha Rin giggled. “Why don’t we take a picture together?” She suggested.

Myungsoo grinned and instantly he slung his arm around her shoulders and pulled her closer as they both smiled to the camera with Myungsoo holding it in front of them.

As soon as the picture was taken they both looked at it excitedly. “I like it~” Ha Rin expressed with a smile.

“More. More. More.” Myungsoo chanted like a kid.

“What? We’ll do it in the middle of the street? With all these people who already are giving us weird looks?” Ha Rin questioned and scanned the place with a lot of people walking.

“So what? Do you want to do it or not?” He asked and looked at Ha Rin straight in her eyes.

“1, 2, 3, smile~” Ha Rin cheered with a bright smile on her face and from the on, the couple started on taking various photos together in content ignoring the people around them.

“Let’s buy this one for Hyunsoo~”

“I’ll give this to my parents as a gift.”

“This is cute! I’m sure Min Young unnie would love this.”

“This could be an addition for hyung’s collection of pots from Japan.”

“You like that pair of rubber shoes don’t you oppa? Come on! Let’s buy it for you!”

“A teddy bear from Japan, that’ll be perfect for your collection Ha Rin-ah, we’ll buy it. Let’s go.”

These were the words that came out from Myungsoo and Ha Rin as they shop for things they could give their families and theirselves as  a gift for Christmas and New Year after taking good photos together.

“Woah! Look at the time, its already 5pm. I didn’t realize we haven’t had our lunch yet.” Ha Rin stated as she looked at her watch for the time.

“Time flies when you’re having fun.” Myungsoo said as he were holding all the shopping bags on his right hand and his left hand entertwined with Ha Rin’s hand firmly.

“Oppa…” Ha Rin mumbled as she took a halt and lowered her head.

“What’s wrong jagiya?” Myungsoo asked in concern.

“I’m hungry~” Ha Rin admitted cutely with a hint of embarrassment and hung her head low again.

Myungsoo chuckled. “What are you laughing about now? Aigoo~ I shouldn’t have said that!” Ha Rin said in regret and covered her face to hide her red cheeks from him in humiliation.

He then took a step closer to her and hugged her tight. “That’s one of the things I love in a girl and I’m so happy that you have that trait.” Myungsoo expressed in satisfaction.

“Huh?”

“Let’s just fill up your starving stomach with delicious food, shall we?” He said as he bent down a bit to match Ha Rin’s eye level since he’s a a bit taller than her.

Ha Rin nodded like a kid. “You’re just so cute.” Myungsoo said and pecked her cheeks quickly and it tooked her by surprise but she couldn’t react as he began to walk forward to look for a restaurant.

“I like this one better!” Ha Rin told him as they were already looking at the pictures they had taken during the day inside their hotel suite sitting beside each other on the bed that night.

“This one’s the best!” Myungsoo stated in confidence.

“You really are good at taking photos oppa. Photography is one of the things you love am I right?” Ha Rin questioned him.

“Yes. And you’re part of that list too.” Myungsoo said sweetly and stared at her with a smile.

Instead of giving back the same response Ha Rin’s expression changed into a sad one and lowered her head.

“Ha Rin-ah, what’s wrong?”

“I’m just worried oppa. What we’re doing now isn’t right. We’re not supposed to be happily together like this. Forgetting each other is what we’re supposed to do because it’s the right thing.” Ha Rin expressed her anxious thoughts.

Myungsoo lifted her chin up and looked at her sincerely. “Sometimes doing the right isn’t what’s going to make us happy. And I chose not to forget about my feelings for you because that’s what’s going to make me happy and my own happiness is important to me.” He explained.

“You’re very important to me too oppa that’s the main reason why I even if I try, I’ll never do a good job on forgetting you, because my heart doesn’t want to do it anyway.” She admitted truthfully.

“Then, what’s bothering you now?” Myungsoo questioned.

“Our own families.” Ha Rin answered in a snap.

“Time will come that we’ll have to face and tell them the whole truth but let’s not think about that for now alright? We had just started and I’m telling you, we still have a long way to go before that time comes.” Myungsoo said in a positive tone.

Ha Rin didn’t say anything and just gave him a tight hug. And Myungsoo hugged her back just as tight thinking about their happiness and the possible consequences that came with it.
