Summer, a season of brightness that shines brightly upon your black-pearl eyes. Glittered sands that reflect from the light along with faded-colored shells. The noises of seabirds blending with the swoosh of the waves.

A red and white checkered mat was laid on the sand. Packed snacks and a camera were scattered along with our sandals, both of us sitting only bare-footed. I was sitting down infront of him while his hands moved up to my black wavy hair, playing with the loose strands.

My eyes gazed at the crystal sea of water.

“You seem to be enjoying the view,” Doyoung placed his chin on top of my shoulder, snaking his arms around my waist.

I giggled, “I love the view… it’s very pretty and peaceful,” tilting my head so I could see a clear view of his face.

Little black strands of his bangs were freely swaying, being blown from the fresh sea breeze. Sunlight hitting his pale clear skin, shining bright like his smile. His soft and plump lips is as pink as tulips from the field of flowers.

His eyes darted on mine, a smile formed on his lips causing his cute little eye whiskers visible.

He pinched my cheek, “It’s prettier when you’re in the view.”

I lightly slapped his cheek, “Kim Doyoung, you’re so cheesy.” we chuckled.

“C’mon, you like it”

“Whatever you say.”

Doyoung stood up from his position, snatching the camera that was placed on the mat. He walked backwards from where I was, watching him confusingly. As he stopped right at a perfect distance, he snapped me a picture and ran towards me.

“Come, I want to take you a picture somewhere,” he grabbed both of my hands, helping me to stand up with his support.

We ran as he dragged me near the shore, taking me tons of picture. I smiled shyly, doing different poses while gesturing me to keep on going. Suddenly, the wind started to hit towards our direction, causing my long length white dress to sway.

My hand immediately grabbed my dress, preventing it from flying too much and exposing my skin while my other hand is fixing the strands of my hair that were covering my view.

Doyoung immediately noticed my situation. He chuckled and walked right in front of me, placing my loose strands behind my ears. While doing so, I didn’t notice that I was already staring at his eyes.

Heart starts to beat faster, racing insanely as well as my mind. Everything feels like a dream; a dream that you do not wish to wake up to but to live forever in that feeling. The feeling of fluttering, to be with the love of your life and do things that both of you enjoy.

I thought this only happens in Disney movies, where fantasies of love are usually portrayed. Things went unexpected and couldn’t imagine that it is now happening in reality; being together with my long time college partner and confessing our feelings to one another.

Butterflies started to kick in my stomach and went back to my senses. My eyes went wide; surprised from his action. His soft lips was now placed into mine while he is holding my left cheek.

He paused, staring right into my eyes, “you’ve been staring for too long, I guess I surprised you.”

Cheeks started to ache from the heat and tension, forming red blushes like a tomato. Doyoung giggled, “you’re cute.”

“Stop,” I whined, hiding my face with my hands.

“Don’t cover your face, I like it when you’re blushing.”

He slowly pulled my hands from covering, showing entirely my shy and flustered face. I looked down onto our toes, still covering my reaction but it was no use. His soft hands lifted my cheek, defeatedly facing each other.

We stared at each other. Pupils in his eyes grew big and twinkling… they say a person’s pupils grow larger when they meet the love of their life or the person is in love, and that is exactly what he feels right now. He couldn’t believe that we’re finally together as he wished to the universe. What I also wished.

Doyoung has always have this thought to marry me, to grow a family and teach our children to play music just like him. He wants to be a good father, to take care and show his love to children as much as he does the same for me.

And I believed that he will definitely be the one when the time comes.

Despite being busy in work, he always ensure that I’m doing well and given each other some time; cuddles, conversation, and affection. When a problem occurs, he’s always there to comfort and listen. A man like him is very sweet, caring, and trust-worthy. Someone that will make you feel grateful to have in your life.

And he is right in front of me, standing closely. Our faces are few inches away from one another.

I closed my eyes, sensing his face getting closer to mine. Our noses are touching, the sound of his breath going lower until he finally placed his lips onto mine, passionately kissing me. Sparks grew larger, as if fireworks were surrounding us. The feeling of rollercoaster, the excitement and the sweet taste of cherry in his soft lips.

It lasted long ‘till he paused, still with my eyes closed. I waited for his response until he let out 3 words from his mouth.

the words,

“I love you”

He said with his soft voice

…until it vanished in the air.

Tears rolled down from my eyes like a continuously flowing river. I slowly opened my eyes and met by a dimmed sky, along with a sun that is soon to set down. Rocks were now more visible as the tide waves went low.

Everything was bright before, but it turned to be the opposite. The bright summer season was now nothing but feeling of desolation, an emptiness. Sparks that grew larger have now died down, nothing feels the same as it used to.

I still couldn’t believe and accept the fact that you’re no longer here with me.

The pain, the pressure. The faint smile painted on your face, the weakness on your eyes, reassuring me that everything is going to be okay.

It hurts knowing that you were in pain.

But, as what I promised to you, I’ll still keep on going as what you wished for. Although the universe didn’t grant what we truly wanted, I’ll do all of these things for you. I’ll try to grow stronger, to love myself more, especially to make you proud.

I know that you’re now in a happy and safe place,

please watch over me, love.

Streets are covered with white thin snow as snowflakes are slowly falling from the clear night sky. Shimmering stars are scattered on the sky, twinkling so bright like a diamond's reflection. Colorful bright lights are surrounding the whole place, some are changing to its different color. Red, green, blue, and yellow.

People are passing by, smiles forming on their faces, wandering their eyes through the stunning bright lights of the city. A clear shiny rink of ice is filled with few people and children, happily gliding on the ice, forming thin scratches by skating.

My (H/C) hair was blown by the cold breeze, feeling the presence of the cold Christmas month. I walked around, leaving visible footprints on the soft foamy snow, both hands are stuffed in the pocket of my big warm black coat. My eyes wandered on a young little girl, caressing a stray kitten.

She pulled out a little red scarf, wrapping it around the kitten's neck. She tapped the kitten's head, softly. "I hope you have a nice Christmas night, nabi."

Her smile suddenly disappeared when she heard a voice who was calling her, "Ara, let's go now!"

She tapped the little kitten's head once again, "I'm sorry If I couldn't take you home, nabi, but I promise that I'll be back." She bid her good-bye and headed back to direction where she was called.

The feeling of pity appeared, I wandered back to kitten, who is now playing with its paws. A thought came up to my mind, remembering the time when I used to caress a stray kitten way back when I was young.

** FLASHBACK **

During Christmas, I and my mom were wandering around the snowy park. The park and streets were lit up with bright Christmas decorations that is filled with joy. It felt so nice and surreal. Holidays are my favorite.

As we walked around, taking pictures of the bright colorful place, I notice a stray kitten that was alone under the ginkgo tree.

I went over to the kitten and gave her a little scarf that would fit for her. Tapping her head, I felt somebody's presence walking towards me.

I looked up and saw a young boy who is now infront of me, wearing a black beanie that is covering his hair, a fit-able black coat almost covering the white shirt he is wearing paired with blue jeans and black boots.

"What a nice kitten you have there." He smiled, leaning down beside me as he softly touches the kitten. Making sure it isn't harsh that could hurt the kitten.

I smiled, "Well, it's not my cat, I just notice she's alone and I'm making sure she feels warm under this cold, snowy night."

He looked up at me, "I'm sorry... but what matters is that you're taking care of her."

We both giggled as we continued on caressing the cat, still continuing on our conversation. We played for a bit until he was suddenly interrupted by his idea.

"Hey, why don't we name her Nora?"

My eyes lit up, "Great idea, it suits her very well."

"By the way, I didn't get to introduce myself. Anyway, my name is (Y/N), how about you?"

He was about to answer but we were interrupted by the call of his parents, who were now waving at him.

"Hey (Y/N), I'm really sorry, I have to go... I hope you will keep on taking a good care of Nora. I'll see you soon!" He bid his good-bye, rushing back to his parents.

"But, hey, could you atleast tell me what's your name?" I shouted, he answered back although it wasn't clear. So, I sighed and brought the kitten home.

** END OF FLASHBACK **

Years have passed, Nora is getting bigger. I took the young boy's message as a promise and didn't let Nora leave her alone in the streets. Up until now, I still haven't gotten to know his name.

I provided her food, shelter, and clothing. I would play with her a lot even if I'm having a hard time in my work. She is very clingy but I let her do whatever she wants. She would play with the toys I had in my apartment.

Looking back at the stray kitten, I looked around and notice a convenience store that was nearby. Without hesitation, I stepped inside the store, making the entrance bell *ding* as you walk inside. I searched up some food and found a small pack of snack for cats.

I grabbed it with my hand, that is covered with a glove. I placed it on the counter along with a bottle of water, as I pulled out the money from my pocket, paying it to the cashier and left.

My eyes darted back to the kitten who is still in place, seems to be hungry. I walked my pace to her place and opened the snack that I bought. Her blue, ocean eyes made its way up to me and eyed the food that I had with my hand.

She tensed up immediately as I put down the snack, quickly eating it. I smiled and tapped her head. I placed the bottle of water beside the snack she's eating as I watched her happily.

"Nabi!" A shout came from a little girl who is getting closer and closer as she ran and leaned down beside me, which it seems to be the girl named, Ara.

"I came back now." she grinned, her dark eyes are lighting up from the reflection of the light. A slight of pink color is visible on both of her cheeks, while her dark hair is tied in low pigtails.

She gazed up at me, stood up from her place and bowed down. "Annyeonghaseyo, thank you for taking care of her. By the way, I'm Ara, may I know your name, unnie?"

I stood up from my position and bowed down as well, "Annyeonghaseyo, I am (Y/N)! Nice to meet you, Ara, and you're welcome." We both giggled and leaned down.

"Ara! Gosh, you're-" The voice was getting closer and was heading towards our direction. I looked up and saw a man, who seems to be Ara's brother.

A long dark hair with a mullet on his back that is covered with a black beanie. Ear piercings are clearly visible, he is wearing a long black coat covering the grey hoodie, and paired with blue jeans and black boots.

He stopped infront of us, his gaze moved from the little girl named, Ara, to mine. I stood up and we both bowed down to each other.

"Annyeonghaseyo, I'm sorry for interrupting." He apologized, looking back to Ara then to mine. I shook it off and told him it's fine. From looking at his eyes, he seems quite familiar.

Ara stood up and walked beside the man. "Oppa, this is unnie, (Y/N). Unnie, I want you to meet my oppa, Jaebeom"

His eyes went wide, I could tell he was surprised when Ara introduced me to her brother.

I nodded, "Nice to meet you, Jaebeom"

"Nice to meet you too, (Y/N)." I notice his ears are quite becoming red, he is surely shy.

"Since both of you; unnie and oppa; know each other's name, you should get to know each other more. By the way, oppa is singl-" Jaebeom then glared at Ara.

"Ara, I told you to-"

I faked my cough, "It's alright, so um... how are you?" I gazed my eyes to Jaebeom then to Ara.

"Ah, we're fine. We're just spending our Christmas night by walking around then shopping, siblings time. How about you?" As little Ara walked back to the kitten, leaving the two of us alone.

I hummed, "That's nice... well, I'm just wandering around. I love seeing the joyful bright Christmas lights here in Seoul." He walked up to a nearby bench that is under the ginkgo tree so I followed him and we sat down, not a bit close to one another.

"Interesting." We nodded, silence filling our conversation. It was quite awkward, the only thing that can be heard was the soft noise of people's shoes walking on the foamy snow, chattering around.

I fiddled with my fingers, the wind hitting my hair as it flies. I was thinking of a topic to break the silence although he started to speak up. "Correct me if I'm wrong but, weren't you the one who took care of the stray kitten, Nora?"

I felt like my cheeks are turning red. My eyes wandered its way at his, shyly. "Yes... were you the—?”

He deeply sighed, a puff came out due to the cold winter. "Yeah..." I nodded, "how is she?" He asked, gazing his eyes upon me as the bright street light reflected on his dark sparkly eyes.

"She's good, still taking care of her. She's getting bigger." I let out a chuckle, imagining Nora's size when she was still a kitten until now.

He smiled, grinningly. "I wanna see her. I feel like she changed a lot.”

"You will meet her someday." I laughed, his eyes are still twinkling like those stars at the sky.
