Sunset

Before Your Eyes

~Hana~

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

We reached the shore shortly after getting into the boat and I was handed two blankets and wrapped around as JaeJoong remained wet while getting us closer to the shore. 

At the bridge he helped me up and he took a blanket around himself and slowly we walked together towards land while having wrapped blankets around us. 

"I brought vanilla tea. I hope you like vanilla" JaeJoong said

"Tea?" I asked surprised

"Yeah and sandwhiches" He smiled

Surprised and warmly I couldn't help but smile at him as we reached steady land and walked towards to the grass. He went a bit further and behind a tree he brought out a bag and hurried back to me as he put down the blanket that we were suppose to sit on and when we both sat down, he took out everything he had prepared

"chicken or cheese?" He asked

"You made both?" I asked raising an eyebrow, still shocked over the things he prepared

"I didn't know what you liked so I kind of assumed. Meat or cheese" He shrugged happily

I laughed and then took the one with cheese and he took chicken

"I assume that these are your favorites" I said

"I don't mind any of them to be honest. Not favorites but they're not bad either" He smiled

I rolled my eyes

"Do you have any brothers or sisters Jae?" I asked as he was chewing his sandwhich

I noticed some kind of weird expression but he then looked up and shook his head

"The only child"

I nodded

"So are your parents here as well?" I asked

JaeJoong stiffened a bit but then drank some tea

"No I'm here.. all alone actually. My parents are in Seoul" he said

THe atmosphere changed rapidly and I noticed that JaeJoong was drifiting away into his own thoughts and I started to feel a bit ashamed since I asked so personal questions

"I'm .. sorry Jae" I said and put down the cup of tea

"For what?"

"I apparently.. asked too.. personal questions.. and I feel .. so awkward now and guilty. I made you uncomfortable didn't I?" I asked

He chuckled lightly and shook his head

"It's not personal.. it's just.. that.. my life is very complicated" He mumbled

There was just something about his smile that he might thought that he could hide his expressions and his runaway to the thoughts but I I saw all of that

"Do you.. wanna talk about it?"

He shook his head

"There's.. really.. nothing to.. talk about" He said a bit avoiding

End of discussion. He didn't want to talk about it

Silence took over and we ate and drank quietly, slowly, both of us chewing slowly as if we were thinking what we should say next since we didn't want it to be awkward

"We should go fishing tomorrow" I said

"Huh?"

"Fishing" I smiled

He looked at me a bit questiongly but then smiled

"What time?"

"How about noon? It's sunny and warm and quiet. The sea is especially quiet" I said

"Oh.. Noon? I can't.. I have things planned already" he said sadly

"Hmm.. afternoon?" I asked

"I can't either"

"Oh" I said, disappointed

"But I was thinking.. at sunset.. I'm free.. so let's do something" He said

"Sunset?" I asked

He nodded

"Sunset. It's not too dark and not too warm and it's absolutely perfect" He said happily

"Sure. So what are we doing then?" I asked

He smiled

"Secret"

"But I want to know so that I can bring a bag with extra clothes if something like this happen again" I said and pointed at my own clothes while laughing

He started to laugh as well

"But you've never done anything like this before right?" He said

"Nope"

"Then it's absolutely and totally worth it. Once in a lifetime. And I promise you there won't be a second time. I do not want to be the reason for your.. cold if you were to catch one" 

His considerate side appeared once again and my heart started to beat faster and my chest got all warm. 

While blushing I preteneded to look down at my own cup and as soon as I reached for it, his hand touched mine slightly and electricity went through the entire body

I shivered at his touch and he looked up and noticed it

"You're okay?"

I nodded

"I'm.. fine" I stuttered

"Are you cold? Maybe I should get you back" He said and got up, his blanket falling down from his shoulders. 

His black sweater marked his muscles and his body look toned from far away. I instantly got up and both of my blankets dropped down as I backed away

"what's wrong?" He asked worried

I laughed

"Nothing"

"Then why are you running from me?"

"Because I'm not going home"

He rolled his eyes playfully

"I didn't mean it like that. You don't have to go home if you don't want to but it's just the best for you" He said

"Right...." I said

"What is wrong with you?" He laughed

"I was just wondering if you really want to get rid of me that fast or if it's sincerely that you don't want me to catch a cold"

He started to laugh but as soon as he took off, I started to run as well, afraid that he might catch me. We ran around, laughing and when he managed to catch me, we both fell down onto the grass, laughing hardly

"HANA?! HANA!!!"

I recognized the voice that kept getting closer. JaeJoong and I rolled around and lied on stomach as we wondered who could be shouting for me at this time of hour. I soon recognized Yunho running towards us from the forest, looking all worried and frustrated. JaeJoong got up first and then reached out a hand for me to help myself to get up and he was quiet all the time

"I heard you scream.. and..."

I raised an eyebrow and shook my head

"We were playing around" I said

"And why are you all wet? You can catch a cold.. you.."

He started to rabble and mumble things and he took off his jacket and wrapped it around me, unknowingly pushing JaeJoong away from him and from me as I was wondering what Yunho were doing out here at this time of hour

"You're okay? You fell into the water?"

"We... fell in" I said

"We?"

Yunho stepped back as he saw JaeJoong waving at him

"Who are you?" he asked, assuming that JaeJoong was the reason to why I was wet

"Hi. I'm JaeJoong. Nice to meet you" He said and reached out a hand for him to shake

Yunho unwillingly, which was written allover his face, took the hand and nodded

"Yunho"

"You're her brother?" JaeJoong asked

"I'm.. her friend" Yunho stuttered

I smiled

"He's my childhood friend. He just got back from overseas while studying at college"

JaeJoong nodded

"That sounds awesome" He nodded 

"Is he.. the one that you were suppose to meet..."

"Yes" I said not letting Yunho finish his sentence

Yunho nodded slowly

"What were you doing out here anyway?" I asked, feeling a bit suspicious

"I was out looking for you since I went to your house to give your parents some fruits and they said you weren't home and suggested that I should go and find you.. and... then I heard you scream .. and I thought you were in danger.."

"Which she isn't. She's completely fine. A bit wet perhaps. And out of breath since she was running" Jaejoong laughed and rouched my hair which caused me to blush

"I can see that" Yunho''s voice was stiff

"Maybe you should go home. I don't want your parents worrying" JaeJoong suggested

Deep inside of me I was screaming no but I nodded since that was the right thing to do

Yunho walked a bit further away as I went back to the blanket with Jae to gather my things

"Sunset tomorrow by the lake?" I asked

JaeJoong smiled at me 

"Sunset"
