It was the kids' laughter that brought your mind out of its newest daydream. It was hard to keep yourself focused on what was happening right in front of you rather than on what had already happened. It was a new feeling and so completely out of character for you.Â
A couple of weeks had gone by since you attended a certain party, one you didnât want to go to. You were too tired from the week and there was a little hint of emotional exhaustion to put yourself through a situation where everything would eventually turn out to be too much.Â
It had been so easy to find a quiet place further in at the back, away from all the people and their noisiness. There was only so much music and chatter you could block out just by standing away though.
You sipped your drink, something sweet and fruity Kira had gotten you before drifting off to wherever she wanted to go. It was somewhat frustrating to have gone there because of her and having her pull away from you the second you got there. But at the same time, you understood why she did it. Whoever her new crush was, he was at the party, which meant that she saw an opportunity. Kira was never one to be at a party by herself, and unfortunately, Nina had a better excuse to not be there than âIâm tiredâ, so you had to be the one to tag along. Though it wasnât entirely too bad, it was a little boring.Â
And then he showed up.Â
You had never seen him before, which considering that you didnât know a single person at the party wasnât surprising at all. You knew Kira and maybe a couple of others in passing. You made a mental note to ask her how she found out at that party.Â
There was no way for you to look away from him. It was like there was this spotlight on him, just on him, making everyone else around pale.Â
Somehow he had ended up by your side, claiming to also be running away from his friends and the noise.Â
âThis isnât really my scene,â he said âI donât even know how they managed to drag me out here, to be honestâ
You blushed a little when he looked at you, a smile wide on his face. It was enough to make your heart skip a beat.Â
âIâm Wonwooâ, his hand stretched out while his left one adjusted the glasses in his nose.Â
âHiâ
You let your hand be wrapped by his. You had never felt quite that shy before while meeting someone. Usually, you were the talkative one.Â
âI wasnât supposed to come out tonightâ you admitted âbut Iâm kind of glad I didâ
Was that possibly crossing a line? You werenât sure, it probably was but early that morning you read that you should be more open to relationships in whichever format they came from, the reason why you didnât even try to stop Kira from dragging to the party.Â
A long time had gone by since you felt anything similar while talking to someone â especially since using the word talking seemed to be a little much considering you had barely exchanged a few words. Wonwoo had your undivided attention from the moment he walked in.Â
Wonwoo simply smiled at you again and looked up at the sky. The sun had long set and in its place the most beautiful full moon lit up the sky, accompanied by the countless shining stars.Â
âThereâs so many stars tonight,â you said and almost kicked yourself for it.Â
It was probably the worst way you could have started a conversation with a guy. You half expected him to answer you at all, a nod or a hm, at best.Â
âDid you know,â his words were almost shy, his delicious low voice dropping even lower, almost as if he was telling you a secret âthat the stars have colors?â
His voice was so quiet while he spoke, his eyes still focused on the sky above. Wonwoo clasped his hands together, his knuckles turning white while he put way too much strength into something that needed none.
âReally?â you looked up for a second before turning your full attention back to his profile âI thought it was just some sort of optical illusionâ
He turned to you then, his full attention on you as you waited for him to speak again. It was an odd feeling, for him to have someone interested in whatever he was saying.
âYeah, thereâs a few. Blue, white, yellow, orange, and redâ he made a fist between the two of you, raising a finger every time he said a different color âThe color depends on the temperature and life cycleâ
Maybe you didnât mean to, or perhaps you did, but you leaned your body a little to the left, your knee touching his.
âI had no ideaâ
He looked at you, slightly surprised that you were suddenly so close to him but smiled at you all the same.
âYou canât see the colors when you look at the sky?â his eyebrows were slightly raised, lips in a mix of a pout and a smile.Â
You pulled your bottom lip in between your teeth in hopes that it could make you stop from inching forward and pressing them against his. If you were in his place youâd probably run away screaming âcrazyâ at the top of your lungsâ
âI mean, I can, I just didn't think the star had actual colors. I guess I just always assumed it was all silverâ
Wonwoo laughed, his nose wrinkling in the most adorable way possible.Â
You were talking with him for a couple of hours, the most casual kind of conversation and it was probably the most fun you had in a long time at one of those parties. Not that you didnât have fun. Nina and Kira were always fun to be around and it was something you always said yes to, being around them. But with Wonwoo it was just a different kind of fun. Usually, when guys approach you at parties the conversations always remain the same, and it was always made to make them look larger than life.Â
Wonwoo however seemed to be much more interested in talking about the sky and the moon and the stars â âdid you know that the moon moves away further from the earth every year? â and while you were aware that some of it was just to prove himself as smart, you found it cute and at times, even endearing.Â
He seemed somewhat passionate about what he was talking about to the point where you could just stand there and look at him without ever getting bored. His voice, low when he had first sat by your side, had gone up a few notes, maybe partially because of the music around you, but you had a feeling that it was because he was just getting excited about what he was talking about.Â
âI never saw you before at one of these,â you said
Wonwoo took a long sip of his drink, you werenât sure of what it was but it wasnât the cheap beer that was in your cup.Â
âI donât come to these often, my friendsâ he pointed at where the rest of the people were and you had no real way of finding out who his friends were âfinally managed to drag me out. I would have stayed at the office if they didnâtâ
It was a redo of the conversation you had before but you didnât mind in the least, not when you could feel his warm breath at the top of your cheeks as he leaned down to talk to you. Slightly, you turn your head to him and for a moment you thought about just typing your head up slightly, just enough to reach his lips.Â
âWhat do you do for a living?â
Wonwoo cleared his throat, his eyes moving from your eyes to your lips. He did that maybe a couple of times before he finally, finally, leaned in. And it was like little bells of you started to play inside your head. It was perfect for all of two seconds, his lips pressed over yours, soft and warm, his hand at the back of your neck pulling your face closer to his before someone screamed your name at the top of their lungs.Â
He pulled away from you immediately and you honestly wanted to cry. The kiss had only lasted a brief second but you didnât want it to end.
Kira was suddenly by your side, a look of complete desperation in her eyes.Â
âWe have to go⊠NinaâŠâ
Before she even finished her sentence you were already up. You looked at Wonwoo quickly, hoping that he could see how sorry you were when you ran out.Â
Looking back you wished you could have remembered to ask for his number before you left, or for him to ask for yours. But all of it had happened way too quickly that it had never crossed.
Ever since that night had been stuck in your mind, you couldnât stop thinking about Wonwoo or the kiss. It was like your mind was in this infinite looping playing that one moment.
âThe new guy is here,â Jinah said, Laughing a little.
You looked where she was pointing and couldn't help the low laugh that escaped your lips. Three guys were walking towards you. Maybe walking was a bit too strong a word, one of them was being pushed by the other two.
âWe're already here,â the shorter one said, exasperated âYou just have to go there and learnâ
âYou know, this is a terrible ideaâ the one who was being pushed said.
It was as if you had been transported back to that day at the party. It was precisely the voice you wanted to hear but had no real way of hearing.
âWonwoo?â
Your voice was one that Wonwoo didn't expect to hear any time soon, or maybe ever again. After that day when he left the party in a hurry, without giving the slightest explanation, Wonwoo was sure he would never see you again. Sydney was far from a small town and he wasn't the biggest party-goer who had ever set foot on this earth, he knew that the chances of running into you again were slim to none.
But somehow, you were right there in front of him.
He had thought many times about what he would say if he saw you again if he was that lucky. Everything that had gone through his head had seemed wrong and now that you were in a place where he could see you, nothing came to mind. It was as if he had momentarily forgotten all the words he had learned throughout his life. That all the years he had spent trapped in an educational institution hadn't taught him anything.
Ever since that night, Wonwoo couldn't stop thinking about you. It didnât matter what he did, however, he tried to think of other things or other people and focus on work. You were always there, in the back of his mind. He had never done anything quite like that before.Â
That wasnât to say that he had never had a girlfriend. He had, a few of them throughout his life but it never happened quite that fast and it was never quite life-altering. Sure, he had met a girl once at one of the many events he attended as part of his job and she had stayed in his mind for a couple of hours, but never days like it happened with you.Â
And when he started to babble about the moon and the stars, because he had gotten nervous, you didnât seem to mind. Instead, you gave him your full attention, seemingly inserted in what he was saying. But then suddenly you were gone and he didnât even have the chance to ask for your number or anything that he could use to find you again.Â
Wonwoo had been certain that you would, somehow, be the one who got away and yet there you were, in shorts and a black swimsuit with the logo he saw outside.Â
He hated the word destiny, but maybe there was some of it sprinkled in seeing you again.Â
âHi!âÂ
Wonwooâs voice came out a little louder than usual, making his friends turn to him with furrowed eyebrows. Soonyoung looked utterly confused while Jihoon just did his best to suppress the laugh that was bubbling inside his chest.Â
âI didnât think Iâd see you again,â you said, smiling brightly at him.Â
Wonwoo was completely caught off guard when you took a step forward and wrapped your arms around his shoulder. It only lasted a second and it wasnât enough for him to react and hug you back.Â
Your cheeks had a light pink on them as you stepped back. He smiled once he noticed that your hand was balled into fists.Â
âSorry, my mom is a hugger so I just sort of hug people sometimesâ you were quick to explain, waving your hands in front of yourself.Â
You closed your eyes tightly, your cheeks getting even redder. Wonwoo thought that you looked cute that night at the party, but this version in front of him was much cuter. He pressed his lips together, trying not to smile too big.Â
âDo I get a hug too?â
Soonyoung took a step forward, arms wide open, smile so big that Wonwoo wasnât even sure his friend could see anything at all. Thankfully Jihoon was quick enough to pull him back and angry enough to hit him in the back of the head.Â
âNoâŠâ Â
You took another step back and raised your index finger at him. Your reaction alone was enough to pull an honest laugh out of Wonwoo. You seemed horrified by the idea which made him think that your earlier allegation of being a hugger was probably a lie.Â
âHow dense are you?â Jihoon whispered and shouted at Soonyoung.Â
You lightly shook your head, maybe trying to shake off any sort of dizziness, before smiling again.Â
âWhich one of you is the one taking lessons?â
In the queue, Wonwoo felt two sets of hands at his back, pushing him forward. Both of his friends were holding back giggles.Â
He had hated the idea of taking swimming lessons as an adult. His friends were irreducible in his learning though so he eventually just caved and did as they wanted. However, all of the cells in his body that were against it dissolved the second he saw you. Now, learning didnât seem all that bad or all that weird.Â
âGreat! I need you to follow me to the back if thatâs okay?â you pointed over your shoulder with your thumb âYou need to fill out a form before we can get startedâ
Wonwoo nodded and followed you. He was naive enough to look back at his friends once and he was glad that you didnât do the same. Jihoon was giving him a thumbs up, a weird-looking smile on his face, while Soonyoung would be screaming if he could, if not for the hand covering his mouth.Â
He loved his friends, he really did, they were one of the reasons why Wonwoo even had any kind of social life, and they were there for him whenever he needed them, even if he just wanted to complain about something â Soonyoung was especially good at hating someone he had never met before just because Wonwoo complained once about said, person.Â
In silence, he followed you to the back, eyes focused on your back. He had to force his eyes to stay on the back of your neck and not on the way your hips swayed deliciously from side to side while you walked.Â
You sat down on one of the tables and smiled sweetly at the receptionist who handed you a sheet and a pen. You slid the paper across to Wonwoo, followed by the pen. Â
âWhile you fill that out, Iâm going to ask you a couple of questionsâ
Wonwoo was never that great at multitasking, so he was sure that he would either write his information down or he would talk with you. If he did do two things at once, most likely both of them would be half-assed.Â
âWhy are you taking swimming lessons?â
He paused writing and looked at you. It made sense that that was your first question, he would just like it if it wasnât on the list.Â
âI donât know how to swim, so my friends thought that it was good a idea to sign me up for lessonsâ
You smiled and nodded at him, not a hint of judgment in your eyes. It was new. When he told people that he didnât know how to swim people usually looked at him like he had four sets of arms, it was almost like the look one got when one heard that they could ride a bike.Â
âCan you float on your back?â
He simply shook his head and kept writing his information down. It didnât go unnoticed to Wonwoo how you pursed your lips together and tilted your head to the side.Â
âDo you feel comfortable in the water at all?â you asked, slightly confused.Â
Wonwoo set down the paper and pen, now fully looking at you. He wanted to avoid the conversation, yes, but he knew if there was one place he had to be honest, it was there, with you.Â
âIâm not the biggest fan of water,â he said, voice low matching how his eyes were kept on the table the entire time.Â
When Wonwoo was a kid, while on a trip to the beach with his parents, he was playing in the water when a wave forcefully took him away. He had tried to scream for help but instead of pushing his voice out, all he did was pull water into his lungs. According to his parents, the moment didnât last for more than a few seconds but it was enough for him to never want to do anything with the water again.
It wasnât a problem to be at a pool, like the one he was in, as long as his feet could touch the floor and he had enough space between where the water ended and his head. But he had never been to the beach again. Not that his friends hadnât tried to convince him to go to the beach, just to feel the sand between his toes, they never even mentioned the idea of getting in the water. But Wonwoo refused every single time.Â
Why would he go to a place that only brought him bad memories when he could simply pretend that synch place didnât even exist in the first place? Of course, living in Sydney posed as a minor problem to that plan, but it had never stopped him before.Â
And yet, somehow, he found himself in front of you, asking for swimming lessons. The fact that it was you made him somehow calmer if such a thing was even possible.Â
âCan you get into the water or is that something we need to work on?â Wonwoo looked up at you, eyebrows furrowed âSome people come here and they have a rough time getting into the water, so itâs something we have to work slowly on. Is that the case with you?â
âOh, noâ he shook his head âI can get into the water just fineâ
You smiled at him while you looked at his information. Wonwoo felt his insides twist a little when your smile slowly dropped.Â
âIs everything okay?â
Your eyes left the paper for a second and you smiled again.
âEverything is fineâ you put the paper on the table again, now fully ignoring it âShould we get started?â
âHe is a cancer!â you wailed, dropping your head on the back of the couch.Â
Of course, it made absolute sense that the most dreamy and perfect guy you had ever met, was a cancer. Of course!Â
âWhat is she on about?â Kira asked, making a weird face.Â
Nina simply sighed and nudged you, placing the wine glass into your hands
âItâs the guy from the party,â you said, sipping the wine âHe came in today to take lessons and I saw his birthday. Heâs a cancerâ
Both of them nodded as if understanding what you were saying, but you knew that they couldnât care less about it. Between the three of you, you were the only one who cared about star signs. You were always one to simply look into it once and let it go. It usually gives you a way to understand someone better. And while it could just be some harmless fun, you know yourself well enough to know that something you let get a little too much into your head.Â
And you see, Wonwoo is a cancer, which in itself itâs not a real issue. Cancer men are known to be caring, loyal, and protective, all of which are great treats when you are in a relationship with someone, their groundedness is highly incompatible with Sagittarius women. They usually enjoy their time at home and are more on the introverted side.Â
âAre you going to treat that as a problem?â
Nina had her eyebrow raised so high you were sure that if she pushed up a little more sheâd be able to touch her hairline.Â
âWe are incompatible!â you cried, drinking the rest of the wine.
Both of your friends looked at you, knowing that the conversation would probably lead you to drink a little more than you needed, which in return would cause them problems. Truth be told you werenât the best drinker out of the three of you. You were the worst of your group, to the point you avoided drinking out, but in the comfort of your home â or this case, Kiraâs home â all bets were in and you could be as much of a bad drinking as you wanted to be.Â
âYou canât let sun signs, moon signs, whatever itâs called, rule your relationship, babe,â Kira said, her voice sounding a lot like the one she usually used on the kids she teaches.
Kira was a kindergarten teacher, a real hero if you knew what one of those looked like
âRemember how you were over the moon after the party? You couldnât stop talking about him and we all know that if you canât stop talking, it also means that he was constantly in your mind as wellâ
Her tone was almost mocking you. The thing is your friends knew you, sometimes, better than you knew yourself.
âDo you remember Ben? He was a cancerâ you said trying to prove a point, but knowing fully well that it meant nothing at all. Wonwoo and Ben couldnât possibly be more different, even just at first glance.Â
âBen stole money from your wallet, used your card to his heartâs content, and then fled, making you pay for everything he ever bought. Iâm sure Wonwoo is nothing like thatâ
You narrowed your eyes at her. She was defending Wonwoo a little too much. You knew Kiraâs thoughts on your zodiac obsession and she was always quick to shut it down, but this time around, the way she was defending a man she had maybe seen for 5 seconds was a little suspicious.
âI agree with Kira,â Nina said, eyes still on her phone âBen was a dick but Wonwoo might not be one. You said he was sweet at the party. Sorry I sort of ruined it for you that nightâ
Your friend smiled at you, her eyes a little sad. Nina had been the reason why Kira pulled you out of the party that night. She had been traveling for work and was in a car accident on the road on her way back to Sydney. She was fine, with no life-threatening wounds, but she was very nervous, understandably so. She was still insecure about being on the road again, but you were sure that she just needed a little more time.Â
âItâs fineâ You wrapped her shoulders with your arms, pulling her closer to you âNo boy in the world is more important than youâ
Your mind went back to the party and the way you felt that night, how youâd have stayed there the entire night with him unless you were pulled away â which eventually happened. Wonwoo talked about the moon and stars and you were that if he ever told you that he was the one responsible for hanging them up in the sky you would have probably believed him.Â
âYouâre so corny sometimesâ She pushed you with her shoulder but made no real attempt to move away from you.
âYou love me, soâŠâ
âI guess the swimming lessons are much more interesting now, right?â Soonyoung teased Wonwoo.
Wonwoo simply rolled his eyes and kept his focus on the computer in front of him, making Jihoon snort by his side, which in return only made Soonyoung wine as he sat on the couch in the back of the room. Under normal circumstances, Wonwoo would probably already be home at such an hour but there were things that he needed to do if he wanted to have a truly off weekend. One when he could just focus on the lessons he was bound to have on Saturday.Â
He was never one to anxiously wait for things, especially when those things had a lot to do with the water and yet there he found himself, wishing that Saturday morning came just a little faster than it usually did.Â
For him, Saturdays mostly meant trying to come up with reasons as to why he wouldnât be able to go somewhere with his friends. That was mostly Soonyoung, to be fair. His friend enjoyed being out and about, going to new places, and having new experiences. From time to time Wonwoo did too, but he liked his time alone time a little too much when it was just him and his stars.Â
âIt pains me to say thisâ Jihoon said with a sigh, almost as if he didnât believe those words were coming out of his mouth âI agree with him. It looks a lot of fun nowâ
Jihoon and Soonyoung were a weird duo, that was for sure. They spent half of the time bickering like old men who have nothing else to do and the other half they were either in agreement or just pretending that the other didntdidn'tt. Somehow, it worked.
âI meanâ Jihoon continued âSheâs the girl from the partyâ
Wonwoo turned around in his chair, giving Jihoon a look with eyes wide. There was a reason why he didnât mention you to Soonyoung, and it was quite simple: he would never hear the end of it and Soonyoung would, at the very least, contact every single person he knew at the party and ask if they knew you. His friend would stop until he found you and though seeing you again was something that he wanted, Wonwoo didnât want to come across as someone who was desperate and maybe a little bit of a stalker.Â
âWhat girl?â
He let his body slide down on the chair and closed his eyes. Wonwoo would never hear the end of it now with Soonyoung.Â
âThe party we managed to drag him to a couple of weeks ago? He met a girl there and she had to leave before he managed to ask for her numberâ
Another thing about the Soonyoung and Jihoon duo is that they like to gossip like teenagers. Itâs the very stereotypical image of highschoolers whispering to each other in the hallways, except for the fact that they gossip about Wonwoo right in front of his face and there is nothing that he can do to just make them stop, and they havenât been to a high school hallway in years.Â
âWhy didnât I know about this?â
âProbably because you were too busy with whatever it is that makes you disappear at parties?â
The two of them exchanged a look and Wonwoo knew that they were talking without ever saying a single word.Â
âSoâ Soonyoung turned to him again âyou went to a party and talked to this girlâ
âKissed her, actually,â Jihoon said
Soonyoungâs body almost vibrated at the news and he was clapping his hands, making sounds that no human should ever be able to make.Â
What is the closest emergency exit from here? Wonwoo couldnât help but wonder.Â
âThis is the greatest day of my lifeâ he laughed hysterically âYou went to a party, something that on its own is already very out of character to you, you kissed a girl and now sheâs your hot swimming instructor?â
He turned to Jihoon for approval, who simply nodded.Â
âYou should ask her out, she looked interested earlier at the poolâ
The image of you looking over his information and your smile slowly dropping came across Wonwooâs mind and he couldnât help but think that Soonyoung was wrong. Whatever it was that you say written there, which Wonwoo couldnât possibly even phantom what it was considering that it was his most basic information, was enough to make you rethink something.Â
âAnd she listed to you nerding out and still wanted to kiss youâ
His mind drifted back to the night of the party. Wonwoo was certain that if you had stayed for a little longer he would have probably gotten your number and asked you out on the very next day and with some luck you would have said yes and who knew where it would go from there.Â
âOh, this just keeps getting betterâ Soonyoung clapped his hands.
âAgain, this is very painful to say but I agree with Soonyoung, you should ask her outâ
Wonwoo rolled his eyes. Jihoon talked a big game about not agreeing with Soonyoung but he always did. They were always in the same frequency of decisions and Wonwoo was usually the one who had a different opinion.Â
âAnd maybe, who knows, she might have thought about you as much as you thought about her these past few weeks?â
Soonyoung grabbed Jihoonâs arm, his eyes wide with uncontrolled excitement.
There was something different about the way Jihoon said it as if he was in some sort of secret that Wonwoo had no idea about. Of course that was the entire purpose of a secret but it felt different.Â
âIf I promise to think about it, will youâ Wonwoo pointed at Soonyoung âstop this weird, whatever it is?â
Surprisingly enough, the pool was mostly empty during the weekends, hence why they usually closed at noon on Saturdays. Parents usually sent their kids during the afternoons and most adults preferred either early mornings or after hours so the weekends were usually pretty low and youâd rather be anywhere else than at work but Saturdays started to look so much better once Wonwooâs name was written on the board, right under yours.Â
After the initial minor breakdown
You sat down on the edge of the pool, your feet on the water while you waited for him. With each passing second you grew more anxious, your heart beating rapidly inside your chest in anticipation of what would happen.Â
A part of you expected it to be just a regular class, with normal small talk. The other part, this one much more hopeful and highly unrealistic, hoped that you could pick up where you left off the night of the party. But the truth was that you had no idea what was about to happen. You were certain that there was a secret third option that you couldnât see or even think of.Â
You turned around when there was the distant sound of a door closing and a few seconds later Wonwoo walked in, in black swim shorts and a black t-shirt, a towel on his shoulder. He smiled at you while pushing his glasses back.Â
For a moment it was like you were back at the party that night and he was all that you could see again. There wasnât anything or anyone else there but even then the space seemed to disappear.
âHi,â he offered once he stopped next to you.Â
âHeyâ
You got up and walked to the other side, removing your shorts and folding them over the side of a chair. Wonwoo followed suit, dropping his towel on the chair and then taking off his glasses and shirt. It took everything in you to keep quiet and not just fully ogle him. You almost had to hit your face to make yourself remember how to breathe properly again.Â
"You ready?" you said without turning to him.Â
The only answer Wonwoo had to give was a small ruff, in exchange for making you chuckle. Though it was funny, it was not the ideal.Â
âListen,â you turned to him, hands on your hips âIf youâre uncomfortable we can reschedule or maybe not even do this at allâ
Wonwoo looked at you, his eyes going a little soft as he sat down on the edge of the pool, mimicking your early stance. His eyes were focused on the water in front of him, unblinking.Â
âIâm tall enough that my head will stay above water, right?âÂ
âYes, youâre good until halfwayâ
He nodded his head, eyes until in the water. If the situation was any different youâd have cracked a joke or anything else that could somehow lighten up the mood but there was no room for that.Â
âLetâs just get this over withâ
Most of the hour you spent with Wonwoo in the pool was silent. It was mostly you talking and him listening, trying â and failing â to follow your instructions. You tried to crack the occasional small talk, but he was having none of it. You couldnât help but wonder if his lack of enthusiasm, or interest, was because he was still uncomfortable or if it was because of how you had acted when he first came by to sign up for lessons.Â
It took you a few hours, and three glasses of wine, to realize that you had made a face when you saw his birthday written. And it wasnât a nice face, you were sure you scowled at the paper. Maybe it was that moment you ruined it all between you and Wonwoo. Or maybe, he was just really unhappy.Â
âAre you okay?â you asked him once again, hand on his shoulder.Â
You were honestly so worried about him that it was hard to ogle him.Â
âYeah, Iâm just not a big fan of water, thatâs allâ
This time you put both of your hands on his shoulder, turning his body fully to you. God, he is too handsome. Forget the whole âtoo worried to ogleâ thing. His chest, his very naked chest, was right in front of your eyes. You were only human, a human that had dreamed of the man in front of her a few too many times and none of them had been pg-13. It was fine to appreciate someoneâs beauty.Â
âListen to me, you donât need to do this, okay?â
âThis is Sidney,â he said as if that was enough explanation.
The only possible reaction was to roll your eyes at him.Â
âWho gives a fuck where we are in the globe? Do you go to the beach? The pool? Boats? Loves to be on airplanes who happen to fly across oceans?â when his answer to all of your questions was no you shook his shoulders a little bit âThen you have no reason to learn how to swim. Right now youâre just torturing yourselfâ
Wonwoo sighed and nodded, but he still looked sort of weird, if you were one to tell considering how little you knew him. You raised your eyebrows at him, hoping that it was enough to get him to talk.Â
âItâs justâŠâ he seemed to struggle to get the words out âI want to see you againâ
This time you didnât even try to suppress your smile or the butterflies in your stomach.
âYou could ask for my number and ask me on a date, you know?â
