SOULMATE - [정원]

sixteen

The fresh sunlight shined on the greenery landscap just like the wind swept through all the trees and bushes, causing the leafs to create some sounds.
Those sounds quickly approached the boy's ears as he slowly opend his eyes, starring at the heating sun as they wore widenly opened.

Jungwon found himself sitting on the very uncomfortable forest ground. He wouldn't lie if he'd say his ass hurts from spending the whole night sitting on this ground.
But someone else made it not being as terrible as thought for him.

This someone, also known as the girl Jayeon, was still peacefully sleeping, leaning against his shoulder. It must have fallen down on it during the night when the harsh tree trunk was probably too uncomfortable for her head.

He couldn't help but let a short happy chuckle escape his mouth as he kept his eyes looking at her. The bangs she always had were covering her eyes and even though they were closed, Jungwon had the urge to just remove the hanging bangs from her eyes, tucking it behind her ear.

He tilted his head before reaching out for the girl's face with the arm used to lay on his knee before. His thumbs grabbed her chocolate brown hair as he already held them inside his fingers before hiding it behind her ear. Jungwon couldn't help but continue looking at her gaze.

Even while sleeping she looked so pretty and soft. No way he would ever want to ruin that moment even though he did accidentally. His hands unconsciously reached up to her cheek as his fingers patted her soft cheek. It felt so warm and soft.

Jungwon glared, considering her face filled of beauty.
The feelings inside him went up and down when he on the one hand felt guilty for thinking about a girl like that who was certainly not his girlfriend he should actually think about like that. But then on the other hand, he couldn't count on how much he'd give to just let this moment be forever. The moment when she wasn't aware of him glancing at her in the natural sunlight for so long.

The moment when he didn't have to hide looking at her like that. When they were alone and not surrounded by hundreds of other pupils may being able to see them.

But also the moment when the touching of her cheeks made the girl furrow her eyebrows before opening her eyes sleepy. Just to immediately look in the bright sun abover their heads, just as Jungwon did before.

The boy immediately pulled back his hand as he noticed Jayeon being now awake, meaning this magical moment was over. Over in reality but certainly not over in his thoughts.

"Oh, you're awake. Did you sleep well?"
Jungwon asked, too overwhelmed in the first seconds of seeing her eyes open instead of closed again.

Jayeon just let her mouth curse into a small smile before nodding towards his gaze. She seemed as if she would die quite happy about something. What could that be after a pretty uncomfortable night in the nature under the free sky?

"I did. It's better that we went to sleep yesterday  I think"
Jayeon pointed out. She was right with saying since they would have never found the way out anyways so. They just kept it with staying in the forest alone even though it probably was cold.
