“What are you laughing at? Yah... what do you think you’re doing?”

Hyun Joong attempted to snatch the camera on Gabriella’s hand when he 
woke up and found her grinning while browsing through the pictures. 

He had managed to take a peek and found to his horror that she had 
mischievously made up his face while he was sleeping and taken pictures of it.

“Nothing! I think you look pretty with the makeup, just that the blusher was a bit overdone”

“You’re so gonna get it from me...”

“Oppa look! I think you got a fish!”

She tried to distract him in an attempt to escape but he caught her before 
she could do so with his quick reflexes and pinned her down on the ground. 

Their faces were just inches apart when she burst out laughing suddenly 
and pushed him off.

“Ok I’ll clean it off for you. You’re lucky I left my mascara at home”

“Yah...”

“Do you expect me to just stare into the sea and wait for the random fish to get hooked? 
I was so bored when you dozed off, you didn’t even budge when I tried to wake you up...”

She could really be a baby at times and he chuckled upon seeing her 
complain with a pout on her face while cleaning his face with a wet tissue.

“I’ll make it up to you then”

He ran his fingers down her face and held on to her nape, teasing her with 
little kisses from the corner of before finally deepening the kiss.

“Oppa, can you teach me how to play the guitar?”

“You sure about it? No more long manicured nails... and your fingers will hurt...”

“De. I know. I just wanna try”

He smiled when she stuck out her hands showing him her newly 
trimmed finger nails and proceeded to his room to get his guitar.

“Place your index finger to the left of the first fret on D and the middle
to the second fret, then you can begin strumming”

“Like this?”

He adjusted her fingers on the fingerboard and held on to her other hand to guide her along. 
He was surprised by her sudden interest in learning the guitar, but was 
more than willing to teach her since he spent a quite a bit of time on it anyway.

It has been five years since they have gotten together and they were now 
both busy with their own careers.

He had a full time job in the day and performed regularly at a pub and some gigs occasionally. 
She just graduated from university a while ago and was just starting out on her first job.

“I may have to fly to the States for a month for work...”

“Oh...when will it be?”

“Next month, but I’m not too keen to go though”

“Why? It’ll be a good experience”

“Aniyo... I’ll be all alone and I’ll miss you...”

“Pabo. It’ll just be a month”

“Oppa, I have something else to tell you”

“What is it? I’m tired, let’s get some sleep and talk about it tomorrow”
