Just in case

Before Your Eyes

~Hana~

-----------------------------

I was taken aback, stunned and absolutely nervous as he stood there in front of me, smiling all happily and he seemed to be excited

"I see you have something that... belongs to me" He smiled kindly and walked towards me

I snapped out of my thoughts and smiled even happier as he stopped right in front of me

"Yes.. I ..came to give it back to you" I stuttered

"Thanks.."

He took the jacket and looked at it for a minute and then he looked right into my eyes which caused my blood and my heart to stop, totally frozen. For a second we kept staring into each other's eyes when there was this sudden sound that made me feel so embarrassed that I wanted to die right on spot.

He seemed to be shocked at first but then chuckled

"You're hungry?"

I rolled my eyes while being embarrassed

"Swimming makes you that" I mumbled

"Let's go and have some fruits. There's plenty of fruit trees out here in the summer" He suggested

I swallowed hard as he started to walk away from me. I hadn't waited all day long just to let him go and go home just to have proper dinner. Fruits would do for the time being. I followed him silently behind as he walked confidently, like he seemed to know everything about this forest.

"Ah.. here we are"

We stopped in front of a large tree and he walked over to me and wrapped his jacket around me while giving me a gentle smile and then suddenly he was climbing the tree, starting to look after some apples

"You've got to be kidding me" I said out loudly

"I'm already climbing. Does it look like I'm kidding?" He laughed up in the tree

I rolled my eyes as I took out the blanket and stretched it out and sat down. I put my hair up in a bun, hoping that I wouldn't look way too shabby in front of him after taking a swim. I then looked up to see him climbing like a monkey while picking apples. I then remembered that I did bring some fruits and I started to laugh as he just got down on the ground

"What's so funny?" He asked

I brought out the two small boxes with fruits and revealed the food that I had brought and I saw him staring at me first, and then he laughed and sighed while shaking his head

"You could have spared me some breath and energy"

"But it was nice to see you climb so hard to get us those apples" I said

He sat down right next to me and put down 6 red apples

"Well... there will never be a second one"

"Well I got one, that's enough for me" I chuckled

We started to eat our fruits as we sat there in the forest, looking up from time to time to see the sky shifting its color and how slowly the stars were revealing themselves

"I love it here during nights. It's so beautiful to watch the night sky and sometimes a shooting star" He said as he suddenly lied down on the blanket. I did the same and we just lied there looking up at the night sky

"I don't remember the sky being this beautiful when I was little"

"Did you come here often? He asked

I shrugged, my eyes still on the sky

"Every summer, I spent 2 months here. When I was younger I loved it here but as I grew up I started to find myself busy with my own life, school and friends and... I kind of forgot how it was like to not think about those things and just enjoy myself"

"But now you have time to right?" He asked

"Yes and I will do it.. to my fullest"

"What's your name anyway?" He asked and turned his head suddenly sideways

"Hana"

He looked at me for a long time before smiling

"JaeJoong"

I smiled back at him and when I couldn't take it, staring and looking into those beautiful eyes I looked up at the sky again

"Tell me something about yourself" He whispered

Our talk had suddenly changed into whispers and not did only whispers make the atmosphere absolutely complete, just by lying here under the stars with a guy who I barely knew but seems like I had known all my life due to the easiness of talking to him, to the comfortable and no pressurized conversations, how could I not enjoy this moment?

"I love fruitsalads. Especially with ice cream or whip cream. And I drink mostly water but I like drinking smoothies and having some fresh made orange juice from time to time" I said

JaeJoong laughed and took a bite of the apple

"What is your favorite subject? Or was... because you graduated right?"

"Yes I did. It used to be..psychology"

"Uhm.. why?"

"Because it's interesting to know.. how the human works, the brains and the personality. How we are affected by so many things in life that it seems to be impossible to forget and all that... yeah you know" I said

"deep.." He mumbled

"How about you?"

JaeJoong chuckled

"I like music. I love composing, playing the piano and just sing. Exercising is a must as well" He shrugged

"How old...are you?"

JaeJoong stopped eating and turned his head sideways

"How old do you think I am?"

"You don't look old"

He burst out laughing so hard that he had to sit up

"Okay.. and that means?" He said still laughing

"Well uhm.. Not older than 25" I said, laughing and a bit embarrassed

He stopped laughing and just smiled

"24"

I started to laugh a bit embarrassed but then nodded

"I'm 19"

"And yet you're thinking is deep. That is very adult-like and mature of you" He said

"Why do you seem like a kid the more I talk to you?" I laughed

He rolled his eyes

"I can be serious but I enjoy having fun"

A wind passed by and I felt myself shivering a bit. A sudden gesture from JaeJoong made my heart skip a few beats as he leaned closer to me and wrapped his jacket around my arms.

"Sorry.. I didn't manage to wrap that around you before the wind embraced you"

I looked at him, stunned, shocked and surprised by his sudden and kind move and not did only my heart skip a few beats. My chest were burning up

"It's okay.. I was being careless" I stuttered

He smiled kindly at me and shook his head

"Maybe you should go home, you can get a cold since you haven't showered under hot water after your swim" he said

"I'm okay" I said and looked away

He looked at me for a long time, the silence taking over as I was praying to God that he wouldn't hear my heart beating so fast and so hard that it would jump out of my chest any minute

"You sure? I can walk you home if you want"

I was unable to speak as he looked at me. I swallowed the words that tried to get up to the surface.

"Let's go, I'll take you home" He said

He got up from the blanket and reached out a hand for me to help me to get up. After that he helped me to pack my things but the blanket was wrapped around me instead

"I'm not that cold.." I laughed happily at him

He smiled

"Just in case"
