Four

Tulips

After the mirror maze, the two girls went to look for the nearest coffee shop. Luckily, there's one right across the street by the mirror maze.

 

Dahyun did buy coffee for Mina since the breeze on Switzerland got cold. Mina wondered why Dahyun didn't buy coffee for herself, but Dahyun claimed that she was not in the mood for coffee in the mean time.

 

The two girls walked by the stoned pavements from the coffee shop, and they are currently heading to their next destination—Switzerland's famous thrill walk.

 

Mina told Dahyun about the thrill walk and her excitement was very visible. She explained that the place was famous for appearing on the 007 James Bond movie. Mina even showed some pictures of that place that she had saved from google when she searched for destinations earlier this morning. They had to ride a cable car to reach the top the mountain. Mina was indeed very excited for this next activity even if they had to ride a train for a few hours to reach the location of the famous thrill walk.

 

Dahyun on the other hand, tried her best to hide her fear. She is afraid of heights, and thinking of the fact that she'll be walking on a screened floor a thousand meters in the air made her want to cry already. She felt her legs weaken by just the thought of it, and she just couldn't tell Mina that she can't do it at all. Mina's enthusiasm about the place made it harder for Dahyun to back out.

 

The two girls walked by another small bazaar while they were on their way to the train stop—a bazaar full of flowers.

 

Mina and Dahyun had their mouths open in awe with the sight of the colorful environment and the scent of fresh flowers. Mina took her phone out to take a picture of the place, while Dahyun took her own professional camera out to secretly take a picture of Mina's back while she takes a picture of the bazaar. Dahyun was fast enough to put her camera back in her bag before Mina turned around.

 

"It's so pretty" Mina said with a sincere smile before putting her phone on her purse, referring to the colorful bazaar.

 

Dahyun smiled back. "Yeah, it is." she said before they started walking again. And by 'it', she means 'Mina'.

 

One man suddenly noticed the two foreigners' presence and called them out loudly. "Oh pretty, pretty girls" he said in english. The two girls stopped their tracks and turned around to see where the voice came from.

 

When they noticed that the man was smiling to them, they politely bowed and thanked the man. And to their surprise, the man picked up two tulips before walking towards them and handing over one of each flowers to them. "Pretty girl" he said again.

 

Mina and Dahyun were confused, but they accepted the sudden offer. "Is this free?" Dahyun asked Mina in korean, the latter just shrugged.

 

Mina said a quick thank you and Dahyun did the same but pronounced it cutely as "ddaengkyu" with a hint of her korean accent.

 

They watched the man as he walked back to his stall to pick up four more tulips before walking back towards them, giving them two of each this time. They have three tulips now.

 

After saying their endless 'thank yous', the two girls finally walked away from the bazaar and started to look for the train stop again.

 

"That was weird" Dahyun said while staring at the tulips on her hand.

 

Mina was sniffing the flowers. "It's cute tho" she said with her eyes closed in satisfaction. Dahyun wanted to take a photo of Mina so badly.

 

A few walks later, they finally reached the train stop and there was a few amount of people who were waiting for the train as well. Its wasn't really a train station since it was just by the road. Dahyun looked around to find something that they could sit on since they were walking for a while now. 

 

 

Behind them was a closed shop and there was a red bench on the side. Dahyun tugged the hem of Mina's coat sleeve and pointed to the direction of the vacant bench. "Wanna sit?" she asked, Mina nodded.

 

They headed towards the area and settled their bums on the cold metal bench, both sighing due to exhaustion.

 

Mina noticed that Dahyun looked a little more tired than she is; when in fact, Dahyun was just feeling nervous. Her eyebrows furrowed in concern. "Do you still want to go to the thrill walk?" she asked the smaller girl.

 

Dahyun looked at her with her eyebrows lifted. "Of course, why not?" she asked. Mina just smiled and shook her head.

 

Dahyun watched as Mina took her phone out again to check the time, since the train ride will take a long hour and she was afraid that they might reach the place at night. "Do you still want to go to the thrill walk?" Dahyun imitated Mina's question.

 

Mina tapped the lock button of her phone before putting it back in her bag and fiddled with the stems of the tulips that they had received. "I want to, we just need to be there before dark" she said with a slightly sad tone, not hiding the fact that she's worried that they're wasting too much time.

 

Dahyun suddenly took her camera out and faced Mina. "Do you want me to take a picture of you?" she suddenly asked, Mina looked at her in anticipation. "You look...b-beautiful" Dahyun stuttered and her face instantly blushed with what she said. She grabbed her camera tightly with her eyes wide. "I–I mean, the flowers...you..." Dahyun's words got mixed up due to her nervousness, but Mina found flustered Dahyun very cute.

 

"Sure" Mina said shortly, cutting the pale girl's words who instantly smiled when Mina answered.

 

Dahyun got up and stood infront of Mina. She takes her camera closer to her face and peeked at the viewfinder, but she suddenly noticed that their bags were right beside Mina. She hurriedly walked back to the bench and pushed their belongings aside, right on the edge of the bench, keeping it out of the picture. 

 

Dahyun went back in front of Mina and peeked on the camera's viewfinder again before pressing the capture button.

 

"Yah, I wasn't ready" Mina whined with a cute pout, Dahyun let her tongue out playfully.

 

Dahyun looked at the photo that she took and saw how beautiful Mina looked even on a candid shot, she couldn't help but smile to herself.

 

"Okay, I'll count this time" she said before bending her knees down a little and tilting her body so that the camera will capture a slightly different angle.

 

From the viewfinder's perspective, Dahyun watched as Mina crossed her legs before looking away while holding the tulips on her right side. Dahyun seems to be enjoying the beautiful view, for she suddenly pressed the capture button without even counting.

 

Mina looked at Dahyun in disbelief, and their eyes suddenly met. "You said you were gonna count" she said with a disappointed but playful tone.

 

Dahyun stood up properly and walked back to the bench and sat beside Mina again. "It's okay, the photo still turned out beautifully" she said before showing the picture that she took. Mina's mouth was formed in a perfect circle shape, the picture did turn out really well.

"Wow, you're a really good photographer" Mina complimented the pale girl who was currently putting her camera back on her bag.

 

"Nah, you're just beautiful" Dahyun said without thinking. She looked back on Mina who has a blank expression, while Dahyun has her eyes widened in shock with what she just blurted out. "I mean—" 

 

Mina's laughter stopped Dahyun on continuing her words and lame excuses. "Thank you" she said, smiling beautifully again.

 

Dahyun thought that Mina gets more beautiful each time that she smiles. She couldn't help but feel her heart pound in happiness whenever Mina shows her bright smile and whenever she hears Mina's beautiful and elegant laugh. Dahyun wanted to keep on making Mina happy. Dahyun wanted to hear more of Mina's beautiful laugh. Dahyun thought; what did she even do to deserve this happiness that she feels deep inside all thanks to someone that she just met? Why does she even want to make a stranger happy?

 

Her thoughts were interrupted by the loud sound of the approaching train. Mina stood up in an instant and offered her hand for Dahyun to take. Dahyun stared at the perfect looking hand before looking up and locking her eyes on to Mina's. "Let's go" Mina said.

 

Dahyun looked down on the hand in front of her again and grabbed it with her own. They walked towards the train and rode it hand in hand.
