" lipstick red sounds nice and looks nice , okay ? "
finally , after browsing through the store for a whole three hours ( against moonyoung's will ) , raeil found the perfect swimsuit that the former did not argue against ( because she simply did not have the energy to anymore ) . it was white , with spaghetti straps split into two , and fake pearls lining across the hem .
and it was also a bikini .
" let's just pay . whatever . "
raeil looked like a content child . if a child ever read r - rated twitter aus and forced their best friends to wear bikinis .
" you do know that wearing this ... piece of cloth will basically be the equivalent of wearing absolutely nothing , right ? "
" yes ! absolutely perfect ! " she exclaimed , attracting the attention of quite a few shoppers who witnessed them walk out of an nsfw shop , " GREAT ! "
" lord help me . "

moonyoung was having second thoughts about the whole " wear a bikini to the beach " thing . she sat in her room for hours straight , thinking and repeating her thought process over and over and over in her mind until she simply didn't have the time to procrastinate anymore .
it was date time , and it was either she went completely naked , in a scuba diving suit or in a slightly " prettier " bikini .
——————
when she arrived at the beach , it was already close to evening . many couples were out for beachside walks , wearing simple slippers and shorts , and yuta was one of the many men who wore so . it increased the bad feeling in moonyoung's stomach as she wrapped her jacket around her tighter , as if letting her skin breathe would completely expose her in public .
" i hope you wore a bathing suit under that ... uh ... winter jacket , because ... " he frowned .
" oh ... uh ... actually . " she pulled him close . behind the cover of her open car door , she unzipped her jacket every so slightly , giving him a little look of what was ... inside .
" good lord . " he managed to breathe out after a moment of shocked silence , " who bought that for you ? your mom ? "
" raeil . "
" right , how stupid of me . "
" do we ... "
" if you really don't like those , we can always buy a new one . i noticed a shop down the beach . it also sells some other things and snacks , so . "
moonyoung nodded profusely . she hurried towards the small shop as quickly as she could ( while simultaneously keeping the winter jacket wrapped around her ) .
she didn't even think when she saw the short - sleeved suit hanging outside the door , instantly grabbing it before making a beeline for the changing room . it took her a maximum of thirty seconds before she came back out , looking and feeling way better .
just in time to have a bouquet of flowers shoved in her face .
" happy chuseok ! " yuta grinned , " let's go watch the fireworks show ! "
turns out the reason he brought her to the beach for chuseok was because one of his friends' surf clubs was hosting a fireworks show .
the entire atmosphere heated up , both physically and metaphorically , just as the explosives were deployed . thousands of coloured sparks exploded in the darkening night sky , dimming out the sun , amplifying the excitement of the hundreds of people gathered around the leader of the club . he excitedly lit another batch of fireworks and sprinted into the sea , paddling away on his surfboard to his friends , who were all waiting for him in the water .
the atmosphere entered his peak when the last batch of fireworks were lit and went off in the sky . they flashed through a variety of different colours , spelling out a series of letters :
HAPPY CHUSEOK !
( bloopers )
" so ? did he get a nosebleed when he saw you in the bikini ? " raeil asked .
" no . he bought me another scuba diving suit . "
" well did you bring the bikini back then ? i can still return it to the store after washing and sanitising it , i think . "
" fuck ! i left it at the beach ! "
