AUTHOR'S POV

There's a history of heartbreak tucked in the crease of her eyes; a museum of moments that she'd just watch pass by her, and by each tear that escaped her held the thing she left unsaid. So, the words she never spoke stained her dampened cheek instead.

She said nothing any further, words weren't strong enough to convey what she felt and somehow he knew it. He wanted no more words, not that he understood them, they came from deep within her, in pieces, to a man who knew nothing except that he wanted to listen all she had to say, somewhere thankful that she shared.

It took her a while to pull back herself. She sniffled a couple of few times.

"You know, you just ruined your makeup in crying." he added, examining that she was calming down.

"Don't worry"

"Huh?"

"It's water proof" she said in between of her sniffling.

"What?" he chuckled making her giggle a little when she realized what she said. She raised her head up from his shoulder only for him to get hold of her again, placing her head back between the crook of his neck, "No, you can't get up. You are my prisoner for today."

This time, it was different for her. Fuck butterflies! She felt a whole zoo in her stomach and her cheeks were nothing near to pink, they were in high shades of crimson red.

"What a flirt" she murmured while he allowed his blissfull smile to be hidden by the mask.

TAEHYUNG'S POV

The sand is the most gentle hue of gold, as gentle on the eye as a vintage photograph. I love this place. I love the driftwood that comes upon the buoyant waves as tiny rescue boats. Then there is the seaweed, that flora of those salty waves, as deeply green as any high summer foliage. My favourite though, of everything is that I am here is by her side.

I looked at her and she was... asleep? My eyes widened as I confirmed that she was sleeping. "Kaylie?" I whispered.

What am I doing, not even a person in his complete senses could hear me now and I am expecting her to wake up?

"K-" I said, a bit loud but something urged me to stop. She probably hadn't slept for some time, it must have been hard, seeing how she could just sleep sitting. I just could not make myself to shake off her peaceful slumber.

She moved a little as her lips moved in sync, I watched her. She wasn't just pretty. She was otherworldly and vaguely threatening. I inhaled a huge sum of air, involuntarily, as my body went stiff under the touch of her unconscious self.

I leaned back, the stars were already in the sky and the dim white moonlight covered the landscape. She glowed beautifully inspite of all the dark that she carried. She was beautiful, but her looks never stood a chance compared to how breathtaking her soul was.

Am I being too much? But believe me, she made me feel that.

KAYLIE'S POV

I woke up and my eyes weren't ready still to be opened to the light, my eyelids were heavy and my head pounded. I created a small entrance for light to enter into my eyes only to realize it was already starry.

My eyes jolted open as I felt someone leaning to me. And there he was sleeping. I moved a little farther from him and as a result he fell on my lap. And that was awkward but he was still sleeping. I saw my little bag's strap snaking his forearm, basically for it not to be stolen. He moved a little and I gulped instinctively.

Cautiously I took out my phone from the bag.

3:46 A. M

"Fuck" I stuttered. I shook his head a bit to wake him up, "Ya! Get up", but he didn't respond. Instead, he subtly pulled up his leg, in a position as if lying on a bed and I was his pillow. Comfortable, huh?

"Get up, mister" I moved my thigh a little to shake off his sleep and he did woke up, "Just five minutes more", he murmured.

What the fuck?! Is this person for real?

"Get up or I am gonna... I'm gonna.." I looked around thinking what all I can do, "I'm gonna throw you in the lake."

"No! I am hibernating."

"What? It isn't even winter... Wait!! And you aren't even an animal."

"I can be whatever I want to."

"I'm done, I'll count till 3 and if you don't wake up, I'm getting up and you are losing your comfort."

"1..."

"2..."

At this point we heard someone approaching. I panicked. We weren't supposed to be here, infact it's illegal to spend the night here.

"ya!!" I whispered, "Get up fast!!" and finally someone rose up from their beauty sleep rubbing their eyes and then stretching themselves as if nothing had happened.

"Just how ignorant are you? Huh?" I snapped.

"What are you talking about?"

"Why are we still here?"

"Ask yourself, you slept! What is my fault."

"Okay, I agree I slept, but you could have woken me up!!"

"Whats the big deal? Let's go now!"

"Fuck this shit!! We cannot! The gates are probably closed, it's 4 in the morning, and most importantly we are not supposed to be here!"

"I have an idea!"

"Thank god!"

"It involves fire" he said calmly.

"Absolutely not!"

"What's more satisfying than seeing things burn?"

"A lot more things. Well.. I have an idea too."

"Can't be better than mine."

"Look someone is coming here. You can go and say to him that you are a foreigner and you lost your way and I sneak with you."

"Why would I be the scapegoat?"

"Because it's because of you we are here. Do you have anything to say?"

"Oops?!"

"God! What wrong had I done to be punished this way. So, what was your plan?"

"We could burn some sticks there and it would serve as a distraction for whoever is coming and we can hide till then."

"Why not just hide?"

"mmm... I don't know."

The volume of the sound of footsteps foot steps increased.

"Why is my heart beating so fast? Am I dying?" he questioned.

"No! You're scared. You're hyperventilating."

"How do you know? What if I die?"

"Can you please shut the fuck up?"

"You'll be responsible." he whispered only loud enough for me to hear.

All we could do was try a futile attempt to hide. I hugged my knees, forming a human cacoon and he copied me. But as I said, futile! We got caught and that too in a very awkward position.

"We are so dead" I whispered.

"Now, I hate this negative attitude. Look at the bright side!"

"Yay! We are so dead. Wohoo"

"What a nice change of landscape, right?"

"Dude, this is a police station!" I reminded him, taken aback by his awe.

"I was being sarcastic."

"Sometimes, it's better to keep your mouth shut and give the impression that you are an idiot than open your mouth and prove it!" I snapped as we were sitting on the chairs waiting, while the officer was eyeing us.

"Your ass must be so jealous of all the shit that comes out of your mouth." he sighed.

"You have an entire life to be a jerk! Why not take a day off?"

"Remember me asking your opinion? Me neither!" he answered.

I took a deep breath to calm myself down or most probably, I was going to beat the shit out of him.

"So, you two slept there?" the officer questioned, positioning his specs on the tip of his nose. We nodded unanimously.

"Unknowingly?"

We nodded again.

"Okay. You two can leave." he said.

"Really??" he questioned and I gave him a death glare.

"Well, I thought you both were couples sneaking around but now I think I misinterpreted. So, yes, you can leave."

"I see. That wasn't a nice assumption from the start." I said, involuntarily, the words just spurted out.

"I always have an empty prison cell, if you want to say." he glared back.

"Oh no! She just blabs. Blabs a lot. Sorry for concerning you." he said as he turned around, turning me with him.

As we moved out of the station, the sky was already in the lighter shades of blue. Finally!!

"Well, he did interpreted wrong!" he whispered right into my ear, I flinched.

"What the- you scared me." I almost yelled. He leaned closer to look into my eyes, "he doesn't know, we even have a kid together."

My breathing became heavy and my heart was pounding some inches out of my ribs. "W - what?"

"Oh honey, you forgot about Yeontan? This isn't good" he mocked and then turned back waving his hand, "byee" he said. It took me a moment to answer.

"Wait here you little piece of shit!" I yelled as I ran back towards him but he got into taxi and I missed him. Did I just lost? What were we even playing and this wasn't even a competition but fuck it! I hate that I lost.
