I held on to his hand tighter. It really felt good. He just smiled and continued walking. I was looking at him all the time… Why do I feel like missing him even though he’s beside me?  I smiled as his scent filled every part of me… mint and vanilla.

Hyuk Eun’s POV

                I felt her eyes on me as we were walking. I also felt her hands tightening their hold on my mine. I smiled because this time I felt like she needed me... Me. I looked at our intertwined fingers. Perfect. I smiled. We arrived at the shore. I sat down the beach chairs holding a book and listening to music while I watched her run and play in the water.

                “Yah! You’re not going to join me?” Hee Young asked, already wet.

                I held my stomach and tried my best to smile.

                “No… I like it more here. I like watching you though. Just enjoy, ok?”

                “Are you tired from swimming?”

                She stayed quiet as I felt her hug tighten.

                “Oppa, did I do something wrong?”

                I closed my eyes and let the last tears fall.

                I will be strong for you...

                I quickly wiped my tears, and turned to face her.

                “What are you saying?”

Hee Young’s POV

                He faced me smiling. I buried my face in his chest. Did I just imagine it? But I felt his tears. Maybe it’s from the salt water, but it was warm. I felt him patti
