"Hyunjin! Hold the camera and take a picture of me here!" You said and gave him the camera.The both of you are at a fancy restaurant. You're sitting opposite to Hyunjin. You started making poses while Hyunjin is taking photos of you.
Today, you feel like it's just normal. It feels like you haven't been kidnapped by a handsome creature and got locked in a boring room. It was a relief that you are able to see the outside world.
"I got 16 shots of you.." he mumbled. You clicked her tongue and looked at him confused. "Sixteen? That's too much!" You said.
He chuckled and looked at you, "that's because I even took a picture of you while you're unaware." He said.
"Stolen photos, huh?" You chuckled and looked at some photos he took. It was cute, and it was a relief that he didn't took an ugly photo of you.
After that, the both of you went to his favorite ice cream parlor he was talking about, earlier. Hyunjin ordered strawberry flavor for you and a cookies n cream one for him.
Sitting on a bench, only the two of you, hands are intertwined- one of the best feelings ever.
"Why are you staring, mister?" You shyly asked as you met his gaze. He slightly smiled.
"Watching the most beautiful girl I've ever seen, is one of the best feelings in the world." He answered.
You're only staring at him in awe. He's admiring you, he see you as the most beautiful girl on earth. That's an enough reason for you to love him more. Heart is beating loud, you're feelings are all around.
"A-Are you trying to make me blush now?" You shyly asked.
"Hm, you are?" He chuckled. "Psh! Stop, you're making my heart drop!" You said, trying to ignore the butterflies in your stomach.
He fell silent. Hyunjn is only staring at you. Y/N on the other hand, is unaware. She's only focusing on finishing her ice cream.
"My baby.." Hyunjin whispered. Y/N didn't hear it though. But that's okay for him.
The both of you spend the whole day eating on a restaurant, watching movies, eat ice cream and simply walking on the park. It was amazing and you were enjoying it.
It's nearly 10 pm but still, you and Hyunjin are still walking. Who would've thought that a stroll by the street on the middle of a peaceful night is somehow so, soothing? Especially that you're with someone that you know you're safe with.
Safe. Such a word.
Surely, you're trusting Hyunjin's words. He will protect you, keep you safe from any harm and that's a promise that you've been holding on until now. Promises are meant to be broken. But the great Hwang Hyunjin don't believe that quote. He's true to his words.
"If Soyeon is still alive, would you bring her for a walk at night like this?" You asked him, breaking the thick amount of silence between the two of you.
"We used to do this a lot." he answered, not even bothering to look at you. It makes you feel like you had just disrespected them both. A sudden pain like daggers dug into your chest. It hurts, and you hated this.
"Sorry," you mumbled with your head hanging low. "We shouldn't be doing this." you added and took a step backwards, letting go of Hyunjin's hand. He was flustered by your sudden action.
"No. We should be doing this." he corrected you, emphasizing that word. He held you hand, squeezing your tiny hand between his soft palms. You look at him full of sympathy and emotional.
While he, is staring at you with sincerity and desire look on his eyes. You shook your head as you don't understand what he really means. "W-What do you mean?" You asked, with your voice trembling.
"Things in the past should be forgotten, Y/N. I'm here with you, because my heart has chosen you." he said. "But I guess, I don't deserve you. After all, I'm totally different from you. I am a criminal, while you, you're like an innocent flower that has not even bloom yet but dragged into this hell of a mess. I'm sorry." he added, his tone has been killing the inside of you.
You gulped and blink a few times, after all of what he said sunk into your mind, you started questioning yourself. Are you making him guilty? Are you making him blaming himself for dragging you into this mess? Your father is one of them, but is a traitor.
You never consider your father a criminal because he is your father. Same as Hyunjin. You're not considering him as a criminal because the Hyunjin you knew and like not a criminal Hyunjin. I guess that's what love can do. It can conquer all, they say.
"Innocent?" You scoffed making him look back at you. "You corrupted my innocent mind, Hyunjin."
"I-I'm so sorry..." he mumbled repeatedly, he cannot even look at you now.
"And I'm thankful for that." You added, making him stop. "With an innocent mind, I can only see the good and bright side of life. I was a fool. If it wasn't for you, I wouldn't know what is my father's doings. I wouldn't know that I have a father like him. And if it wasn't for you, I wouldn't be facing the reality of life. And, most of all, if it wasn't for you I wouldn't feel loved." you said, reaching for his cheeks, wiping his tears.
You gently squish it and smiled then let out a giggle. "I didn't know that a cool and angsty Hwang Hyunjin is now crying in front of me." you commented, chuckling.
He stared back at you in such an awe. He didn't know what to react anymore because he's too lovestruck by you. Now, he has another thing to put on his Why I Love Y/N list.
Hyunjin couldn't hold back it any longer. He pulled you by the wrist and wrapped on of his arms around your waist. Then, he leaned in, staring at those eyes until you felt his soft lips pressed against yours.
This is the best late night walk, ever.
