HYOMIN'S POV

I'm still looking for Qri.

I don't know where she went.

I know she's disappointed because this vacation was supposed to be a work free.

It's true that the offer was once in a life time but I wouldn't accept it if the situation was different.

I need money for us.

FLASHBACK

OUR GRADUATION DAY

We happily ended our graduation ceremony when Mr. Lee (Kyul's Dad) calls me to talk privately.

"What is it Mr. Lee?" I politely ask him

"I just want to ask you straight to the point. What are you planning to do after this?" He asks.

What's my plan? Well aside from proposing and marrying Kyul I have no other clearer plan.

I was about to speak when he says something again.

"Are you planning to marry my daughter?" He asks again.

Is he a mind reader?

"Neh" I weakly replied. Kyul's Dad is so scary.

"Very well then. If you plan to marry Qri you better use your hard earned money and not the one coming from your parents. On that I can be rest assured that my daughter will have a good life with you." He said

I can't blame Mr. Lee for saying that. He's just making sure that her daughter will have a good life.

I sighed.

"Neh, Mr. Lee I will work hard so I can finally marry Kyul" I said and bow to him then he left.

Well at least he is not against us.

END OF FLASHBACK

So that's the reason why I'm accepting every offer that my company gives me.

I need to earn enough money in order to marry my Kyul.

I know my work demands a lot of my time like right now but I'm always making sure that I have time for her.

After a few more minutes of searching I finally saw her. She's sitting on a big stone near the sea shore.

I walk towards her but before I could reach her position someone already approach her.

"Hey beautiful. You're the model Lee Qri right" The guy said.

I'm standing few meters behind them

Kyul just look at her and then look at the sea once again ignoring the guy.

Good Job my cutie pretty.

"Qri-shi you look lonely here. You can come with me let's have fun" He said and touch Qri's shoulder.

"I'm fine. Hands off" Qri said

"Qri-shi you will be lonely here all by yourself. Just come with me. C'mon" He insists.

I frowned and decided to walk towards them.

Is he a pabo? Why can't her understand that Kyul is not interested to go with him.

I touch his wrist and remove it from my Kyul's shoulder.

"Dude she said she don't wanna go with you" I sternly said

"Wow you are the famous Park Hyomin. You can go out with us too. The more the merrier." He said

Now it's confirmed that he is really a pabo.

I grab the collar of his shirt coz he is really annoying.

"We don't wanna go with you and stay away from my girl" I said angrily.

"Minnie stop" I felt Kyul's hand trying to pull me away.

"Whoa easy. She's your girl? Cool you got a hot chick there" He said and I with that I punch his face.

He groans in pain. My hand hurts to. His face is just too hard.

"Minnie" Kyul immediately comes to me.

"Wow. Let's see what will your fans say to you" He said and smirked.

I was about to go near him and launch another punch when Qri hug me tight to stop me.

"Min stop this already" She begged so I stop.

"You will go down Park Hyomin" He said and walks away.

Tss. Not scared of him. He can do what he wants.

"Yah are you ok? Does your hand hurt?" Kyul worriedly check my hand.

"I'm ok Kyul" I said to stop her from worrying.

I hug her.

Just a little bit more Kyul. Just a little bit more and I promise to stay by your side all the time.

AREUM'S POV

I left Suzy in our room and go to the kitchen to take some water.

Aigoo.

I don't understand myself.

She's my girl yet I feel like there's too much boundary between us.

I tried to ignore it every time but as time goes by I feel insecurities in me.

I tried to shove them away but I feel like it wasn't normal at all.

Ah molla

When I got in to the kitchen my eyes widen and I immediately covered my eyes.

"Areumie" Yoona called me so I remove my hands that cover my eyes

"He-he s-sorry to disturb your kissing I just wanna get some water" I said

I look down coz I'm blushing.

"Haha Areumie you are so cute. We are just kissing. It's not like you never done this with Suzy" Taeyeon unnie said.

"We never did" I said and pour water on a glass.

"Mwo what do you mean you never did? You guys never kissed before?" Yoona unbelievably ask.

I just shook my head.

"Jinjayo? You've been together for more than a year now. Seriously Areumie? You never kiss you are not kidding?" Taeyeon unnie ask.

I drank the water and then sighed.

Suzy never wanted to kiss. Well she kisses me but only on the cheeks.

"Was that important? It's just normal right?" I just said.

Don't wanna make those things a big deal. Maybe she's just waiting for the right time.

But when was it.

"Well it's not that normal though. I salute you for having such a high resistance to temptation Areumie" Yoona said to me and I just giggle.

"Stop kidding. I'll go upstairs now" I said

What Yoona said might be right but I don't deny that I get disappointed and sad too when I was expecting her to kiss me but it turns out to be something else. Just like what happen this morning when she asks me to close my eyes.

I got excited when I felt that she cupped my face and I thought she will kiss me but she just pinch my nose so hard.

I got disappointed by that but I just pretend that everything was ok and laugh along with her.

Sometimes I wanna ask her about it.

Why does she don't want us to kiss?

But I don't want her to think that I'm a byuntae so I can't ask her that.

I go back to our room and saw Suzy sitting on the bed while playing with her phone.

"Sweetie" I jump on the bed and hug her.

She looks at me and says something but I don't understand it when my gaze suddenly went to her lips.

I remember Taeyeon and Yoona in the kitchen.

Why it is so hot now?

I immediately go out of the bed.

"Sweetie where are you going?" She curiously asks.

"I will take a shower" I said immediately go to the bathroom.

"Again?" I heard her ask but I just ignore her.

Oh my gosh Lee Areum

What am I gonna do now? I can't avoid her coz she's my girl and we stay on the same room.

AHH THIS IS TORTURE!!

IU'S POV

"Yah step your foot in here and don't grab me too much please" I said to her.

We climb up to an old tree as she suggested. At first I never thought that this girl climbs a tree so I followed her up. But now that we decided to go down..

CRAP.

A HELL OF A DISASTER.

She doesn't know how to go down. I have no choice but to help her I can't just leave her up in the tree.

"Yah I can't reach it" She complains.

"C'mon just do it. I'm not gonna let you fall" I said assuring her that it's ok.

"C'mon Hyeri we are half way there" I said.

"I'm scared. I can't do it just leave me here "She said and hug a branch of the tree.

I laugh at her.

"Yah stop kidding. Let's go down now and people might think you are a monkey if they saw you up there" I joked to her while laughing.

*sob*

Huh?

I stop laughing.

"Hyeri-ah are you crying?" I can't see her face coz she's looking at the other side.

"Just leave me alone" she said while crying.

Aigoo.

I just sighed and go a little lower.

"C'mon step on my shoulders so that you could easily transfer to that branch if you did that. " I said offering her my shoulders

If I didn't do this we will be here until tomorrow.

Finally she did what I say and after repeating that one more time we successfully got into the ground.

"Whoa Finally" I said while massaging my shoulders.

I look at her and she's just looking down.

Maybe she's still calming herself. She shouldn't have climbed a tree if she can't go down.

"Hyeri-ah let's go back to the house now" I said

Seems like she don't have a plan to move so I grab her hand and drag her with me.

"Why are you so kind to me?" I heard her ask.

I stop and face her.

"If wanted to get along with everyone don't say it that way. Just say thank you and smile like this" I said and force her to smile.

I laugh at her but seriously Hyeri is not that bad.

"C'mon now unless you planned to stand here forever" I said and we started walking while talking about random things.

BORAM'S POV

Soyeon has been talking about our future together lately at first I was comfortable with it but as time goes by and to the point that she talked about it almost every day.

Like she was telling me that BORAM LET'S GET MARRIED NOW.

It's not that I don't want to marry her but it's more like I just don't know when and where is the right time to propose.

She keeps about how she wants everything to be perfect so I really feel the pressure. I want to give her what she wants. I want it to be as perfect as she imagined so that she will be happy.

I sighed.

My mind was no help when I really needed it.

"Ramie" I snap back when I heard Soyeonnie's voice.

"hmm?" I look at her we are heading back to the house now.

"Nothing. Never mind" She said and sighed

I know it wasn't just nothing.

It's something.

I really need to work on a plan on how to propose to her before she misunderstands things.

But what to do??

Could somebody tell me how?

EUNJUNG'S POV

I really feel happy now. I keep teasing my baby but I'm not happy because I'm teasing her and she can't have a dramatic turn away. I'm happy because she's here now with me.

"Jungie what are you doing? Why did you become quiet all of a sudden?" She asks.

We are here sitting on the sand while she was leaning her back on me and I'm hugging her from behind resting my chin on her shoulder.

"I'm thinking of you" I replied.

"Why are you thinking of me when I'm here with you?" She asks and giggled.

"Well I'm just thinking what could I possibly be doing right now if you're still not with me" I said.

"I'm sorry for leaving you that long and making you feel that way Jungie" She said and reach for my face that was still on her shoulder.

"It's not your fault and you are here now so everything is ok. I'm not gonna let you go anywhere anymore. If I have to on your side 24 / 7 I'll do it. Your grandma is not a problem anymore" I said.

"Hmm. So let's get married now" she said and I chuckled.

"Wae?"

"Take it easy. I know I said I'm not gonna let you go b-"

"You don't wanna marry me anymore?" She said and pouts.

"What are you saying? Of course I do wanna marry you but there are things that are needed to be done first." I said.

"Things? What are those and let's get started." She said full of confidence.

My hear flutters. Her willingness to marry me is just so overwhelming

"Alright first we have to get your eyesight back" I said.

"Ok we will do that after vacation right? So we can marry after that" She said excitedly and I chuckled again.

"Baby I said THINGS and that one is the FIRST to those THIGHS" I said and she pouts.

"Fine what's next then?" She asks but still pouting.

"Ok. Second, you have to graduate" I said.

"Mwo?..Jungie that would take us another year more before we get married. We can get married and just go to school." She complains

"Baby your parents wants you to graduate before they allow me to marry you" I said

She sighed.

"Fine" she pouts again.

"Stop pouting or I'll kiss you" I said

"You always do that even when I don't pout" she said.

Was I that addicted to her lips?

"Baby when you open your eyes after the surgery don't look at that Myungsoo guy" I said seriously she got quiet for a few seconds and then started to laugh.

"Don't tell me you really believe that I will fall in love with him if I saw his face" She said while laughing.

"Who knows" I said and hug her tight she giggled again.

"Jungie. We already got separated for more than a year do you think our relationship will easily crumble? I may not remember everything in our past but I surely remember how it feels during our first's coz the feeling each time I'm with you is still the same it never fades but it keeps getting stronger. So never feel insecure about anything" She said and it surely touches my heart.

"I love you" I whispered to her ears.

"I love you too Ham Eunjung. Only you" she said and it really makes me smile.

After all those sleepless nights and crying. The pain and sorrow I felt when she was not around were all gone now by her simple touch and sweet words.

AREUM'S POV

I'm not sure of what is going on with me this afternoon.

I accidentally showered again because of freaking out.

I need fresh air so I go to the balcony.

I keep thinking of Suzy.

Lee Areum stops it.

Suzy's face keeps popping out of my mind and her beautiful face and her lips.

I wonder how it feels when I kiss her.

I think it's really sweet.

Her li-

AHH LEE AREUM STOP THINKING OF HER LIPS

I feel that her body stiffens when I feel a pair of arms wrap around my waist.

This isn't the first time she hugged me bit I'm frozen here.

"Sweetie do you have a problem?" She sweetly asks.

"Problem?..Me?...Nothing" I answered and I know she might not believe me because of the tone of my voice.

"Ok. I'll just wait for you to tell me what is it" I said

Just as I thought she's not convinced.

"Uhm Sweetie" I turn around to face her but I immediately look down when I saw her face.

I really can't help but look at her lips.

It's not hot but I'm sweating.

"Sweetie what's on my face that you can't even look at me" She ask curiously.

"N-nothing" I shortly replied.

The next thing she did caught me off guard.

She held my face on both of her hands then makes me look at her.

I tried to look somewhere else but where. Then my gaze was fixed on her eyes which are also intently looking at me.

"What's wrong?" She asks in a very soft voice.

I can handle this my heart is pounding crazy.

I decided to look down but wrong move coz I saw her lips again.

Park Suzy if you just know how much you are torturing me.

I gulped.

I don't want to force her do things that she doesn't want but it's very tempting..

I found myself slowly leaning towards her

Then our nose touch

And

........
