➲ beach

*carried my guitar with me and start playing
as the moon rise up,
your light sets down
Ill be aright, would you be alright?
with all my heart, with all I am
I wanna say, I wanna say
I love you so....

Now go, before I hold unto your hand
and begs you to stay, please dont make me say....

*take a stone from the shore and throw it to the sea
*repeat for a few times and plops on the sand afterwards
*sighs and look at the peacefulness of the sea
thank you... and goodbye
*takes a picture of the setting sun,

@♓ Son Seungwan Despite having asked for the other person to call her immediately, Shiyu couldn't stop her stomach from dropping the moment her phone started buzzing, an uneasiness growing stronger and stronger inside of her with every ring of the small device in her hands. Even after taking a few deep breaths, she still felt fairly awful, to the point where she thought about simply turning off her phone and getting a new number come morning. But of course it wouldn't be fair to the girl on the other end of the line, not after that picture, so she fought against her flight response, eventually picking up after what was probably a good half minute.

Once again she took a deep breath, which was followed by the sound of her clearing before she finally managed to gather enough courage to speak up. "Hey..." Breathing out the greeting in a quiet whisper, she stopped there, mind going momentarily blank as she didn't know how to explain this situation. "I'm sorry." Apologies were never bad, she figured, trying to bring some structure into her thoughts. "I didn't notice at first, or else I would have said something. But...then you sent the picture...and I think...I'm probably not the one it was meant to be for....Sorry."

@♈ Zhou Shiyu The moment she sent that picture, Seungwan feet grow cold as she bites the tip of thumb already in doubt of her decision. It was too late and all she could do is hope that the girl won’t find it too forward. Known for her reserved and somewhat innocent appearance, none of her acquaintance would believe that she can also be a little naughty. “Don’t look at me like that.” She snarled rolling her eyes at the pup who is looking curiously at her. “It’s alright. I’m a grown woman.” She added and sat at the edge of the bed only to cover herself with the blanket like a cocoon hiding its true self. The pup only tilt it’s head on one side and wagged its tail but she scoffed. Not that she’s irritated. The pup’s adorable round eyes always melts her heart. She bend forward and touched Max’s head. “Do you think it’s too much? No?” Seungwan asked once more. Good thing there’s no one around. “She seems nice though. Wanna meet—“

A bzt sound alerted her. So she opened the message and frowned a little upon reading the response. It’s telling her to call as soon as possible yet she expected more. She could hear her neck pulsate completely thinking of the possibility that she has taken it too far this time. Her thumb hovered over the keyboard displayed on the screen. She chewed her bottom lip and brushed the nervousness building inside of her. After a few moment, she dialed the number and tapped her foot against the ground.

@♓ Son Seungwan After slipping the phone back into the pocket of her coat, Shiyu took one last glance at the calm water's surface, the only thing disturbing it the slow ripples caused by a gentle breeze, before she turned around to head back home. There was a spring in her step, an almost foolish smile on her lips as she hurried back, feeling genuinely happy for another person. How easy love could be if one only took the first step.

Reaching her place, she took a moment to unlock the door, her fingers numb from the cold outside having difficulties cramming the key into its designated keyhole. After seconds of struggle, she finally made it into the apartment, though, a content sigh escaping her lips as she stepped into the warm coziness of her home. Letting the door fall shut with a soft click, she kicked off the shoes she had been wearing, and with her phone in one hand, she made a beeline for the kitchen, deciding that a hot cup of tea was exactly what she needed right now.

Waiting for the water to boil, Shiyu pushed herself up onto the kitchen counter, making herself comfortable before she reached for her phone once again to notify him that she had made it back home. Just as she was about to type out the message though, she was notified of yet another message. Curious what it could be, she opened it without hesitation, almost dropping her phone when the picture popped up on the screen.

"Oh god...", muttering to herself she tried to reason why he would ever send her a picture of who she could only assume to be the girl he liked in lingerie, none of them making any sense. Unless....Eyes widening in realization, she scrolled through their short exchange of messages, looking for any clue of the other person's identity. The urge to facepalm herself grew by the second as she realized that neither of them had even confirmed who their conversation partner was, simply assuming who they wanted it to be. But what was even worse was the guilt she felt, for having seen something intended for someone else's eyes. Not to imagine the embarrassment the other woman must be going through once she knew the truth. So wasn't it better to just play along?

Hating herself for even letting that thought cross her mind, she quickly shook her head. No. She wasn't someone to deceive people, at least not when they didn't explicitly wished for it. Not that she was looking forward to having this conversation, but it was the right thing to do. So, just as the other had asked her to do, Shiyu now sent a message back. "Got your 'surprise'. Call me. ASAP"

@♈ Zhou Shiyu Cosy underneath the warmth of the fluffy blanket, she found herself thinking if the girl managed to finish the paper they talked about. Besides working during at the nightclub over the weekend, she also offers tutoring and that’s when they’ve become close. She wanted to ask the girl but there’s more pressing matter to discuss and Seungwan desires to talk about something else. She ran a hand over her head and wondered if she should entertain the dare they had the other night.

She pulled the blanket till it fully covered her chest down to her toes. The temperature inside is not too cold nor top warm. The thermostat inside her room is working perfectly but somehow she loved snuggling the blanket that her petite body grow hot. She was alerted by the familiar ringtone she bought from the app store and hurriedly opened it. Her face lit up as she beamed in so much anticipation. The message is enough to send her in cloud 9. Never a dull moment with the girl but Seungwan concluded that she’s too much of a homebody.

“Great!” She typed. “Message me when to call. I have a surprise for you.” She send the message and pulled the blanket off of her. In a swift move, she jumped on her feet and walked towards her wardrobe. “Here goes nothing.” She mumbled and took the set of lingerie they gave her from a recent event. “Max, stay.” She turned to the pup who went running towards her. It cease to take another step that cause Seungwan to chuckle, finding it completely adorable. “I’m going to get change. No peeking.”

The pup whined but ironically the woman changed there and then. She put on the lingerie. In one snap, a shutter sound bounced against the walls and Seungwan send a photo of her.

@♓ Son Seungwan Despite spring approaching, it still wasn't the kind of weather to spend nights out alone for too long, no matter how serene the scenery of a quiet beach appeared to be. As the cold was now slowly seeping through the protective layers of her clothes, Shiyu couldn't ignore the involuntary shudder running down her spine nor the spread of goose flesh along her neck as a particularly strong gust of wind hit her square in the face. "Guess it's time to go home...."

Momentarily distracted by the incoming message, the young woman remained seated, a soft smile raising the corners of her lips upwards. It was true, they had talked the previous night, mostly her encouraging him to finally take the first step in approaching his love interest, not having expected anything to happen anytime soon. Yet, judging from the excitement radiating from the few lines of text, could she assume that he had actually heeded her advice and gone through with it? Feeling excited on his behalf, Shiyu hopped off her rock, fist raised in victory. Grinning from ear to ear, she quickly sent a message back, the fatigue of a long work day she had felt earlier replaced by giddiness.

"I'd love that. Just give me a couple minutes. Still out, will be home in 15. Can't wait."

@♈ Zhou Shiyu Somehow the response she received didn’t bother her, taking the message as literal as possible since she spent last night chatting with her classmate till 4 a.m. It wasn’t hard not to remember how great tbe conversation was. It begun with a simple list of professors they think were great and slightly turned into a flirtatious manner where both women were comfortable with exchanging steamy messages to one another.

She puckered her lip as if in deep thought and motioned her hand to open and close as if there’s tension she’d want to get rid of. Her eyes flickered as she stare at the screen contemplating if being playful is the right response. And so she threw herself on her back, her head resting on a fluffy pillow and holding the phone between her hands.
“Honestly? It was rough a day but all I could think about is the things you told me last night. I cannot wait to talk to you. Shall I call you later on?”

@♓ Son Seungwan The response she received was almost immediate, indicating a certain urgency. Again, it was fairly harmless and nothing out of the ordinary. Although she was mostly booked for events that required her to attend in person, it wasn't the whole spectrum of the services she provided. Not everyone wanted a piece of eye candy to show off, hanging on their arm, bewitching potential business partners, although they were of course the majority. But every now and then, there would be a lonely soul contacting her agency, in need of a companion, a friend or simply someone to listen to their sorrows. Her thoughts immediately went to her most recent client, a fairly young lad completely and utterly in love with a girl he had met not too long ago. But being inexperienced in the matters of love and with no one else to ask, he had enlisted her service to become his practice buddy. It wasn't necessarily something she quite understood, but as he was usually fairly pleasant, she didn't mind either. Plus, he paid rather well.

Ignoring the first part of the reply through the power of selective reading, she simply assumed that he was asking her to go through another hypothetical date with him. Carefully, she put her phone into her lap to free her hands before clenching and unclenching them a few times to get some feeling back into them. She probably should head home soon as the temperature would only continue to drop further, but just for a little longer she wanted to enjoy the vast and vacant beach, finding it much easier to think without the usual noise around her.

"Of course. You're not too exhausted, though, are you? It's been a long day."

Content with her own reply, she once again lowered her phone into her lap. Pulling her coat tighter around her body, Shiyu then lifted her hands up to her lips, her warm breath brushing against cold skin as she tried to make a guess at the scenario he would choose today.

@♈ Zhou Shiyu A sound of knuckles cracking and a heavy groan of exhaustion escaped her lip as she jumped into bed, kicking her shoes off and laid there staring at the ceiling. Her cheeks puffed with air because time flies by like a strong breeze of wind when all of her classes are staggered all in one day. There’s nothing there to see but a plain white paint leaving her imagining of things she could be doing now instead of reminiscing the lecture she got from her dear old professor. Indeed, the day was rough and the ideal thing to do is sleep. However, it has become boring for Seungwan. Home, work and study. A cycle she wanted to break for a long time.

“Hmm” She hummed and turned to see the new phone on her right. It was comforably resting on the comforts of the soft mattress. “I wonder what she’s doing.” She mumbled to herself, ignoring the fact that her pup kept waggling its tail wanting her attention. A cheeky grin and fast fingers, Seungwan tapped away on the screen, thinking of the same girl in her class she’s been talking to for a month. “Alright. It’s 345…” She added on typing a way a line of number saying, “hi r u busy?”

She pressed send in such confident completely forgetting to double check the number. The response was brief and she smiled to see the answer. The woman rolled flat on her stomach, moving her legs up and down. “Just thinking of you. Wanna continue where we left off?”

@♓ Son Seungwan Releasing a soft sigh into the silent night, Shiyu watched in wonder as her warm breath dissipated into little puffs of mist before her eyes, still so easily fascinated by the simple concept of condensation as she was since a little child, trying to see figures and patterns where there was none before they dissipated into thin air. "Sea turtle." Smiling to herself she watched the last wisps fade into nothingness before she continued her stroll down the beach, enjoying the quiet of the night. She didn't quite know when it started, her coming down to the beach after work, but sometime along the way it had become her ritual, her way to shake off all the stress, the anxiety, the tension that came with her field of profession. Most of the time, she spent this downtime alone, rarely ever running into the occasional dog owner taking their pup for a last walk or the even rarer insomniac.

Brushing sand off her most favorite rock formation, she settled down, thankful for the thick fabric of her coat that would keep her warm for a little longer. Eyes fixed on the water's surface, she let her thoughts wander, going nowhere in particular. Until she was shaken out of her nonsensical musings by the quiet beeping of her phone, alerting her of an incoming message. Cold, stiff fingers fumbling to unlock the small device, she stared at the short message, a simple "hi, r u busy?". Nothing too out of the ordinary, as she would oftentimes be contacted by clients at every hour of the day. Only that it was sent from an unknown number. Not thinking too much about it, though, as people would occasionally change their number, she quickly typed in a message before hitting the send button.

"not really. what's up?"

night falls at the resort, Moon had her dinner before leaving her cottage again. she heard that night time in the resort is livelier than the morning well they are right about it since she can hear music from the distance. wearing her black knee length short, her favorite hoodie and a flip flops, she again spend her time walking along the shore, the only light she has is the light from the moon. her hands on her pocket, eyes on the ground, she was walking in circles, sighing then decided to plops on the sand staring at the waters.
far from her a group of friends came and dive into the cold water making her smile as they laugh and joke around. "next time ill come with them too" she uttered.. again for about a minute she was lost in her thoughts, she combs her bangs before sighing loudly
"". after that she went back to her cottage and decided to just sleep.
"tomorrow it will get better"
though the last thing that her mind plays was of another person's smile

Moon finally decided to take a break from everything, she left the manor, the city, her work space to give her self some alone time and to think through things..
she booked 5 days of free time, starting to day. upon arrival, she was happy about the place. finally free time for herself.. she runs to the shore and look at the sea, nope no one is around, nope no one to tell she has to do this and that.. she's free.. and she shouted " Life Im frée" she chuckled and take deep breathes, doesnt matter if the water is still cold she quickly dip her feet and smile.
after an hour spending her time at the sea she went to her cottage, and quickly fix her room the way she likes it, she unpacked her set of clothes and happily change into her two piece bikini, heck yeah she knows she's y as .. she'll flaunt it since no one is around.. she made her way to the beach again, sitting on one of the seat provided, she put sun screen on her body, nope doesnt need any help she can do it by herself and just chill.. looking at the beautiful scene.. phone's been turned off she doesnt give a to anyone..
"ahh.. lets see what Ill became after this ing getaway"
she mumbles.. to her self, while she closes her eyes enjoying the ocean's breeze
