ic.

@ahn hyejin. "i know you're teasing me, hyej. i'm a man who can take a joke!" he chirped, poking his tongue out at her. "oh...hey, there's no need to thank me. i care a lot about you, so the kindness comes naturally. plus, you make it easy to be nice to, if that makes sense? like, i don't have to try around you."
"shy? you? please! i don't take you for a shy woman. jeez, now that you said it out loud, you /have/ to strip. i don't make the rules." chris held up his hands as if to defend himself from such words. "burgers sound great!" on cue, his stomach grumbled at the suggestion of a good ole slab of juicy meat on a sesame seed bun. "i'm paying, though. that's the gentlemanly thing to do...and i want to, so you can't say no."
"i'm not always thinking dirty thoughts, even though you might think so!" he said with a snort, then crossed the street toward their hotel before reaching for the items she had in her hands. "let me run these things back up to our room so we're not lugging them everywhere." after leaning to press a warm kiss to the middle of her forehead, he dashed off as quickly as he could to return the chairs and towels to the hotel room.

@christopher bang. The playful banter from Chris earns Hyejin to side glance playfully as her lips parted to emit a laugh.
"Pft..You really are nice to me, I'm merely teasing you handsome. I am very thankful with how kind you have been towards me and everyone else." She compliments while, choking out a small laugh upon hearing the next words that leave the wolf hybrids words.
"Oh? I'm not sure...maybe I got shy last night. But since we are comfortable lately, I might strip. As for fooood..." She pauses while taking a moment to quickly scan the small stores, shops, and restaurants they are passing by as she happily observes before clicking her tongue.
"How about...some burgers?" Her stepping comes to a slow stop as she gestures with her chin to a nearby Hamburger shop as she wiggles her brows to Chris.
"Whatddya say mate? Lets go eat some meat together and really have our bond become CLOSER. Though- don't think dirty about it." She teasingly warns, her eyes peering up hopeful that the male will agree to eat hamburgers.

@ahn hyejin. chris couldn't help rolling his eyes. "ah, yes...because i'm /totally/ mean to you, pretty little elf. i wouldn't be surprised if you cried yourself to sleep every night because of how rude i am." he replied sarcastically and bumped her hip with her own.
"?" chris repeated, eyebrows nearly raised to his hairline. "why did i get screwed out of seeing that last night when you were in my bed, hm? seems a little unfair that i missed it!" even as he joked around, the wolf didn't know if he'd actually be able to handle hyejin sleeping with him. it had been hard enough to resist giving in to the temptation the night prior during their kisses.
"sure...what are you in the mood for? we could always find something local, or pretend we're american and order hamburgers or whatever. up to you!"

@christopher bang. The dramatic behavior from Chris has her emit an amused laugh, shaking her head in the mean time before raising her shoulders to shrug.
"Who knows ~ I can't remember the last time you were nice to me." She playfully stated, while assisting Chris with picking up some of their belongings, at least all that she can carry within her hold.
She found his following words to be rather...beautiful. Chris has always been a friendly, welcoming kind of guy. She always loved how pleasant he was around people, as they walked side by side. She hummed a little tune before his next question had her side glancing him, with a tint of admiration present in her gaze.
"Hmm~ hm~ I mean..." she paused for dramatic purposes, before laughing softly.
"I am more than happy to stay in your room~ I do sleep , so I hope you don't mind." She states casually with her hair swishing back and forth in her ponytail. Once they reach the concrete pavement, she stops in her steps and glances around.
"Shall we eat or something?"

@ahn hyejin. "aren't i always sweet to you, hyej?" he pouted, lower lip jutting out dramatically. "you're acting like this is the first time...gosh, i'm hurt!"
"ah, that, i believe. you're a strong, independent woman. why would you stay with someone who wasn't treating you as you deserve? there's that saying...y'know something about having plenty of fish in the sea, so why would you settle, y'know? same with me. i would love to settle down with a woman who holds me in high regard as well." the wolf hummed as he slung most of their bags over his shoulders. "anyway, don't worry about me surfing right now! i'll head out early tomorrow morning or something and spend the day out in the ocean."
while they walked side by side, he stole a few glances at her. "by the way, i'm not saying you can't...because /of course/ you're welcome to, but, uh...are you planing on spending the rest of your time here with me? and, like, staying in my room? i'm just curious." and, quite honestly, he was more than hoping she would.

@christopher bang. "You are being very sweet to me right now...Mister Christopher Bang. You can go hit the waves if you'd like ~ " She comments with a soft chuckle as she follows along closely, bringing one her hands up to caress his chest as she glances up to him.
His comment about her wanting to be rizzed has her burst out into laughter while she shakes her head.
"Oh my goodness...you huge dork! I think you do nothing but rizz me hence why I'm still sticking around to you and such ~ because if I didn't like you. I would not be here, kind sir. " she chimed whilst helping him pack up as well, bringing her hips to lightly bump his playfully while humming happily.
"But seriously; I can wait while you surf handsome. Go make some friends or something...or just watch you shirtless out there and be impressed~"

@ahn hyejin. after a moment or two of studying her, chris finally nodded and hooked an arm around her waist to keep her close. "you still killed it out there, y'know. i was having trouble returning your serves and spikes," he murmured, turning just enough to press a warm kiss against the side of her head to return the one she gave him as he led them back to their spot on the sand. "not to mention, those doofuses didn't even know what hit them when a total alpha female dominated the court."
"honestly, taking a nap out here under the sun sounds great...but i'd also like to try and catch some waves before the tide gets all ed up." her last comment made him chuckle. "miss hyejin, i thought you wanted to be rizzed up and romanced first. now, you're suggesting we sneak off to do the nasty? tsk, tsk." chris clicked his tongue while squeezing her playfully.
once they arrived, he released hyejin and stretched out his sore muscles from playing volleyball. "although, we do have all week to unwind and relax out here. why don't we look around for something to eat, and then go out and explore the area? who knows...we might even find a cave." chris waggled his eyebrows mischievously before starting to pack up their belongings.

@christopher bang. As Hyejin sat down for a moment, she briefly glanced away to avoid meeting anyone's eye contact as she held back tears that dare to leave her tear ducts.
When she felt Christophers presence near her and his hand starting to wipe off sand upon her body, she finally glanced up to him while slowly standing up.
Her skin being a little sensitive, a bruise already taking notice upon her outer thigh from the rock she hit while she held onto Chris.
"I-I'm okay..." she whispers just for him to hear, glancing to everyone else as she offers a forced smile to them.
"Sorry guys...thanks for inviting us to play, we had fun." She tried to seem fine, as she walks away with Chris, her arm hooked to his as she leans her chin over to rest it upon his shoulder so she can gawk at him.
"Chris.." she states calmly before taking the opportunity to lean fully forward and press a soft kiss upon his neck.
"Thank you, handsome. Where shall we go now? You hungry? Sleepy? Wanna go lie down on the beach and nap? Or go find a quiet cave to be naughty in~?" Her words are playful while she winces slightly at the bruise she felt on her thigh, soon exhaling a sigh. Mainly hoping Chris isn't too worried as she rubs his upper back soothingly.

@ahn hyejin. "i think you'll enjoy it...and if not, well, you can just come to show support!" he grinned, giving her a gentle nudge.
during the entire match, chris gave his all, running forward and backward, side to side while trying to keep the ball in play. as he suspected, the teammates he had were far from athletic, and chris mainly took control.
occasionally, he flashed cocky, but playful looks under the net in between plays over to hyejin. chris could tell the elf was the best player on the other team, so together they at least made the match enjoyable.
when hyejin stumbled backward and landed hard down on the sand, chris immediately rushed over and helped the woman to her feet, looking for any visible injuries. "- are you sure you're okay, hyej?" he asked softly, hand brushing off some of the sand clinging onto her body. "c'mon, i'd say we're done playing volleyball for now. we don't need to risk ourselves getting hurt while on vacation."

@christopher bang. She lets out an amused laugh at Chris's words about his single man life.
He was always a cutie with his words.
"Hmm~ I haven't heard your work yet so I do look forward to being exposed to it one day. My dear wolfman." She comments while she eyes the competitors on the opposite side of the volleyball net. She wasn't sure why they agreed to do this but here they are...she lets out a huff before the game begins. Somewhow her instincts said this was a bad idea....
As they kept going back and forth with the ball, hyejin sweating, panting, her knees getting beat up by diving into the sand. Though things seemed to have been going well until she fumbles back landing roughly on her with a small yelp.
"Ahh! Ow..." she whines while she brings a hand to rub at her bottom, a frown forming before she glances over to Chris. She wasn't much of a baby but she landed on a rock, tears were being held back on her part as to not look pathetic as everyone came up to ask if she is okay and merely nodded her head.

@ahn hyejin. chris snorted softly. "i'm living it up as a single man, don't worry. i've acquired lots of gigs and opportunities to open for a few lesser-known bands in australia. my music has been keeping me fairly busy, but that doesn't mean i wouldn't appreciate the company of a good friend from time to time. and who knows? maybe you'd even enjoy some of my pieces! i can't remember if i've ever played guitar or piano for you yet. the time back at the villas was kind of a blur."
"i'll note that up here," he smiled, tapping the side of his head with his index finger. hyejin had no idea what lengths chris would go to for her...and that wasn't something he'd necessarily admit to on his own. most likely, it would need to be coaxed out of him. again, he wanted to keep a fine line between remaining friends and becoming, well.../more/. unless, of course, hyejin hinted at crossing that line.
"she's right! i honestly wouldn't be surprised if she beat us all on her own, fellas," he laughed, sliding under the net and coming to stand next to his teammates. none of them appeared outstandingly athletic, but hey, the game was just for fun, right?

@christopher bang. The small dramatics from Chris had Hyejin stifle a laugh followed by a playful eye roll on her part. She definitely found him more charming for having a good sense of humor and being playful.
"Oh my..then in that case. I'd happily visit you more often after this vacation ends ~ and I had no clue you got lonely as a single man, figured you be living it up yknow?" She stated as her hands lingered along his lower back to place sunscreen there while they spoke to each other, she hummed in content at their cute innocent moment before she simply smiles. "I'm a sassy gal but a er for romance handsome alpha." She clarifies only to avert her attention back to the conversation at hand.
Once Chris asks how to split teams as Hyejin stands up with his help, she reaches up to fix her hair thats in a ponytail while the men spoke.
One guy stating 'We will take the hot chick and you can go to the other team' Hyejin quirked a brow at how he referred her as before she started to walk towards the court with an obvious attitude in her words as she did so "hot chick has a bad temper boys and a name. Prepared to get your whooped." Was all Hyejin said as she approached the volleyball court, glancing to the other members taking notice that it was all men and she squinted slightly why she was the only girl.

@ahn hyejin. "hey!" he gasped, clutching his chest as if her words offended him. "i wouldn't ask you to cook or clean or anything while you're there, unless we did so together. i honestly would appreciate the company more than you know, hyej. it's lonely being a single guy sometimes."chris pointed out, now playfully wiping at a fake tear near the corner of his eye.
a grin flashed across his features. "if i was a woman, i'd be throwing myself at me, too. not to brag, but...i'm decently attractive. i'm sure you've noticed." he snickered with eyes full of mirth before he stuck his tongue out at her.
"something more romantic? tsk, tsk. you woke up in bed with a charming alpha. what's more romantic than that, pretty little elf?" sure, they weren't dating, but that didn't mean they couldn't mess around together a bit, did it? unless, that's what hyejin wanted. "well, no...but-" chris mumbled. the wolf wasn't opposed to the idea of them being a thing; he just didn't want how they acted around one another to change...like, what if they had a bad experience that crushed their relationship altogether?
just as chris was enjoying the feeling of the elf's hand all over his arms, a few obnoxious boys broke his peace. "uh, well, i suppose we could play a game or two." after standing up, he extended a hand out to hyejin to pull her from her chair and walked side by side with her until they reached the sand volleyball court.
"how are we splitting up teams here?"

@christopher bang. "Oh..stay at your place in Australia? How charming of you ~ Letting little ole me hang out at your place for free unless you'll ask me to cook and such."
She playfully responds back while the wind slightly blew her hair as she gleefully smiles in return.
She loved how cheeky Chris was easily able to play along with her slight sassy behavior.
His comment about her being naughty earns a brief snort laugh from her as she rolls her eyes.
"Right...so naughty~ Can't help myself sometimes you know?"
She blinks at the boop to her nose before perking up when she gets a quick kiss, the action alone sending waves along her frame. The color of her eyes shifting within a second to a lavender blueish tint before she chuckles.
"Mhm this morning ~ But I wanted something a bit more romantic ~ Plus we aren't entirely together, you dork." She mentions, which is true. They never clarified what their entire situation is, so she reaches over for the sunscreen. Pouring some in her hand before she casually starts to spread it over Chris's broad shoulders and arms.
As Hyejin focuses on doing that, a few guys walk up to them with dorky grins, looking like frat boys.
'Hey! Do you guys want to play volleyball? We need an extra female and male' they questioned, Hyejin glancing to them before then to Chris.
"What do you say? Would you like to play volleyball...?" She also asks, curious to what he would say.

@ahn hyejin. "you're more than welcome to come and visit anytime, hyej. you wouldn't even have to pay for a hotel, either. i'd be happy to let you stay at my place." chris offered as he set up his own chair next to hers and plopped down in it, momentarily staring out at the ocean and taking in the calming effect of the waves. "i think you'd enjoy australia a lot, actually. besides, i'm there. what more could you want?" he teased, now looking back to her and playfully waggling his brows behind his sunglasses.
"wow, not even hiding it." chris shook his head. "tsk, see, i knew it! you're so naughty."
after she beckoned him closer, the wolf leaned in to listen to what she had to say. her words had his mouth falling open in surprise. "oh..." he gaped like a fish. "if there weren't so many people around, i'd say to go for it; you could have me any way you'd like. right now, though, i think we'll have to keep things pg."
he reached over and booped the tip of her nose with his fingertip before stealing a quick kiss from those pretty brims and pulling back with a lopsided grin.
"you had your chance this morning, silly girl. or have you forgotten that, hm?"

@christopher bang. She can't help but find Chris wonderful to listen to, he is definitely someone she can get lost in having nothing but simple or deep conversations with despite their location etc.
With him it always felt...smooth and comfortable. She loved it wholeheartedly.
Her lips kept a loving smile as he spoke about Australia and the way he glees, and shows a handsome smile in return.
"Maybe one day I should visit Australia. It looks like a beautiful place in photos and such. But I can respect a homebody, nothing beats the comfort of your own safe space." She adds before she curiously tries to read his expression when he answers her question.
She leans back into the beach chair, while curiously tilting her head off to the side before playfully rolling her eyes and laughing at his cheeky commentary.
"Oh yes ~ I would love nothing more than to get my petite hands all over your toned physique and biceps ~" A small sparkle can be seen within Hwasa's eyes as she holds up a finger to call Chris to come closer to her face while she mischievously grins.
"Come here protective wolf ~ I'd like to get a taste of your lovely lips. Maybe even...ask you to let me.." she playfully scans him up and down before innocently smiling.
"Devour you...~?"
She is sure to whisper just enough for him to hear as she twiddles her toes in the sand happily, her brown eyes taking a brief glance to the individuals in the water playing and enjoying themselves, partially wanting to also do the same thing.

@ahn hyejin. "mhmmm, plus, a lot of tourists come here, so i'm not surprised everyone is taking advantage of the nice days to explore or just relax on the sand. australia has beautiful beaches, too, but there's just something about being away from home that makes beaches in other countries more appealing. maybe it's because at home, i can go to those all of the time versus the ones here."
chris helped her to set up their stuff on the sand, propping up the chairs and laying out the blankets for them to lounge on. "i would say a bit of both...i love coming to the beach to surf and just listen to the waves, but i can't deny the ual tension between me and staying inside my house, heh." he explained, offering a quiet chuckle to accompany his words.
her next question threw him off guard. did he really change that much when other men were around? surely not. chris never thought of himself as a jealous person. yet, when it came to hyejin...he supposed he shouldn't be all too surprised that he acted differently as soon as guys paid extra attention to the elf, whether it be by touching or too long of a stare. "worried? um...i'm not sure why i'd be worried," he shyly uttered, shifting his gaze away. "it's just a wolf thing. we're very protective when it comes to people we care about." okay, that was only half the truth. wolves /were/ vigilant with their loved ones, but the way chris growled and raged internally at only minor threats, it was much more than that. his behavior was borderline 'that's my woman, my mate. don't touch her'.
"even though i know this is an excuse to get your hands on my muscles, i /suppose/ you can put my sunscreen on for me." he teased while grinning widely. "in return, though, i'm doing yours."

@christopher bang. Hyejin heard his commentary but decided to simply nod her head and not request any further explanation. She noticed that Christopher once in awhile said things came across as protective and she didn't feel the need to comment on it because she found it to be sweet.
While she got back on her proper footing but now in Chris's hold, she glanced up to him with a timid smile before slowly nodding her head.
"I guess the beach is a hot spot lately....but the weather has been nice so I can see why its popular lately." Her brown irises follow his gesture to a more quiet spot as she agrees, following him happily before setting everything down onto the sand before carefully sitting down before while she curves her lips upward into a gleeful smile to Christopher.
"So Christopher...do you come to the beach often or prefer being a homebody? I also notice your tone changes...when other men are around. Are you worried...?" She has been meaning to ask that question for awhile now, not in a teasing manner either.
"Its okay if you are protective, Christopher. I think its sweet....and makes you ten times more respectable. I appreciate it ~ would you like me to put sunscreen on you?" She offers while raising her hands up and does a small wiggle finger gesture.

@ahn hyejin. "huh, well...i don't think you need to be going to places like that." chris grumbled quietly, choosing not to elaborate on the comment too much. he didn't want to make her uncomfortable with his reasoning.
sure, they might be seeing lots of mostly bodies at /this/ beach, but it was different when it came to /her/ mostly body.
the wolf followed his friend outside, maneuvering around multiple people going this way and that, in and out. slightly annoyed with everyone crashing into him, he was about to tell hyejin to be careful and watch her step, but before he could even get the words out, she was already stumbling into someone else and tumbling forward. "hyej-" chris started, reaching his arms out, only to stop and growl under his breath as soon as he noticed another man holding her up. "it's fine; i've got her," his words were like venom as he tugged her against his body while they continued their walk out onto the sand.
"i didn't expect so many to be so rude and careless here. that guy should've watched where he was going instead of plowing you over," he grunted, eyes scanning for the perfect spot for them to set up their towels and leave their bags. off to the right, chris noticed very few people near the water and nodded in that direction.
"seems like a good place there. c'mon."

@christopher bang. She quirked a brow at his explanation, finding his response adorable and humorous before chuckling.
“Hey, I don’t blame you for attending a beach for that ~ I have never been to a beach before but they look fun.” She comments with a small smile.
The poke to her side earning a giddy laugh before she merely hums in the embrace.
But as the elevator stops and the other people exit, Hyejin starts to talk again.
“I am perfectly covered enough for the beach…we are going to the beach after all. Which means we will see a lot of and you know…? I-“ her words are cut off as her voice hitches when Chris leans in and the words he spoke in that deep y tone had her knees weak but not enough to show.
She breathed slowly before following him out after regaining her composure, with the sound of her clearing .
“Such a tease…” she mumbles from behind him, happily walking close to Chris before rolling her eyes in a sassy manner.
They finally reached the beach after a few minutes of walking outside the resort, taking a look around the beach was definitely crowded but it brought a smile to her face.
Skipping along, she hollered at Chris to follow excitedly.
“Come on handsome! Lets go~” she was too busy glancing over her shoulder that she clumsily bumped into another guy and tripped over her footing.
“Oh -“ she states before noticing he is holding onto her, immediately shaking her head and politely apologizing.
“Sorry..my bad.” She stated before shuffling back to Chris’s side with an eye smile.
“Where shall we lay out?”

@ahn hyejin. "it wasn't like i went to hook up or ogle women, hyej. it's the best place to get an all-over tan...and sometimes those beaches have the best waves or aren't as occupied as all of the other beaches, y'know?" he defended himself, expression turning rather sheepish. "but honestly, you're pretty close to being right now, silly." with a little poke to her side, chris flashed a playful grin. "that bikini covers about as much as my pinky finger would."
as soon as he felt the woman's arms around him and warm body press up against him, he visibly relaxed, yet still remained hyperaware of the wandering eyes around them.
thankfully, the ride didn't last long, and mostly everyone shuffled out once the elevator doors slid open. chris, however, paused for just a brief moment when hyejin's roaming hands dipped a bit too low on his torso and spun around to face her once it was just the two of them left in the elevator. after slowly leaning in, his lips ghosted over her earlobe and his voice dropped an octave. "careful where you put those hands, pretty little elf." he warned, then stepped away and made his exit out into the lobby.

@christopher bang. Her brow quirks at his admittance of attending beaches, she didn’t take him to be the type.
“Oh? I have never been to one…I’d prefer only to see my body and the person I’m with. Thats about it.” She comments while she watches Christopher finally step into the elevator though she is finding herself stepping off to the corner as she hears the noise that left his lips and caught on to him blocking her frame as best as he could. Hyejin mentally coos at the males behavior, figuring she should reward him for his loving duties.
With that on her mind, she moves her arms as best as she can to wrap around Christophers waist from behind whilst still holding the objects.
She brings her soft lips to press a tender smooch on the back of Christophers shoulder before simply resting her head against that spot.
“Hmm~ I am excited to see the beach. Especially since I’m going with you. I’d love to see you surf on the waves and simply enjoy yourself..” With that being said, the sound of the elevator noise notifying they reached the floor goes off, the hug was brief but she slowly pulls away from Christopher but not without her hands splaying along his lower abdomen in an almost seductive manner while she frowns softly. Wishing the elevator took longer.

@ahn hyejin. "huh? oh, no...i've been to quite a few beaches. unfortunately for me, there are mostly old, wrinkly men sprawled out on towels or walking along the shore instead of attractive women." he shivered at the mere thought, but quickly regained his composure when the elevator doors opened.
despite the guys in the elevator keeping their partners tucked in close against their sides, chris spotted them stealing not-so-hidden glances at hyejin. with a grunt, he followed her inside and basically shielded her body with his own, nudging her close to the back corner.
"i'm mostly excited about spending time with you, but yeah...i love the beach. surfing is probably my favorite part about it. i'm fairly good at it, if i do say so myself." he hummed. "what about you? are /you/ excited for the beach, pretty little elf?"

@christopher bang. Hyejin noticed Christophers expression at her entrance, she mentally chuckled but kept her calm demeanor. She quietly thanked him for grabbing some of the items while she followed close behind on their way out.
She took a moment to step a little back and admire his backside view, noting his strong back and shoulders while she hummed in enjoyment to herself.
“Mhmm~ Not a beach. But would you not attend if it wasn’t?” She questioned curiously, wondering what he meant by that. Her brown eyes hinting at a playful behavior. She leaned over to nudge Christopher before the elevator opens, there were a few boys and girls in the elevator already. Hyejin took the first step, offering a small smile to the strangers while she stands to the side. Awaiting for Christopher to join, she could tell eyes were lingering from the other individuals in the elevator as she is basically but she ignored the looks.
She turned her head to Christopher, looking up at him slightly with a charming smile before reaching over to tug him inside the elevator.
“Come on in handsome. We can’t wait all day for you~ are you excited for the beach? Do you like to surf?”

@ahn hyejin. despite chris’s seated position, he nearly collapsed as soon as hyejin emerged from the bathroom, dressed in little to nothing. okay, sure, he’d been expecting a bikini of some sort, but only in his wildest dreams would he have conjured up the image of her wearing something like /that/. (he wasn’t complaining, though, of course).
“er, uh…” he intelligently started, only to clear his throat and glance away with reddened cheeks. “yeah, let’s…let’s uh- we can go.”
after making sure his room key was somewhere safe, he took some of the items from her so she wouldn’t have to carry them and hurried out the door. god, if he had to stare for one split second more, they both wouldn’t make it out of the hotel.
“is this a beach and i just didn’t get the memo?” chris nervously joked as he pressed the button for the lobby with his elbow and stepped back to wait for the elevator to ascend.

@christopher bang. Hyejin took a moment to pat her flushed cheeks as if to get some sense back into her mind, staring at herself in the mirror as she sighs and whispers to herself.
“Ugh it was tempting… .” She mutters before deciding to finally change.
She fixed up her hair into a high ponytail with her bangs out, her bathing suit being more on the revealing side as the top was designed to criss cross over her s while the bottoms covered her private area but are very cheeky like a thong that showed her entire rear end basically.
Finishing up quickly, she could hear Christopher say he is done, looking at herself one more time in the mirror as she decided to add a approving nod before stepping out of the bathroom with a small smile.
“Ready? I’m ready ~” she strolled over to slip on her sandals, grabbing sunscreen and a couple towels before walking over to Christopher with a grin. Still feeling this odd tension pull towards him but she was trying hard not to show it.
“S-shall we…?” She asks finally, trying not to gawk at his revealed upper body, keeping her brown eyes on his while nervously fiddling with the towels in hand.

@ahn hyejin. christopher blinked twice in confusion at the turn of events. had he completely misread the situation? had hyejin just been messing with him this entire time?
letting out a quiet sigh as he pushed himself up to a sitting position, chris peered over at the now-closed bathroom door before running a hand through his messy locks. "well, i guess the beach it is then, huh?" he murmured and then swung his legs over the side of the bed so he could fully stand up. after stretching out his back, chris walked over to his suitcase and sifted through it for a pair of swimming trunks. figuring he had a few minutes before the elf emerged from the bathroom, he changed into the trunks and grabbed his sunglasses and flip-flops.
"i'm ready!" he announced, perching himself on the edge of the mattress as he waited.

@christopher bang. She couldn’t help but chuckle at Chris’s words about keeping an eye on her.
Hyejin lightly scrunched her nose as part of her response before shrugging.
“Lets go to the beach yeah? I came here to soak up the sun after all~” she stated happily, her brown eyes glistening with joy before she bit down on her inner cheek.
“Uhm…n-nothing. Lets get ready for the beach, yeah?” She was trying not to be a flustered fool in front of him, her mind did go somewhere else briefly during the kiss but she wasn’t one to ask for more- despite what her body wanted.
Slowly slipping off the male, Hyejin made her way to the bathroom, being sure to grab a bikini suit on her way and shutting the door behind her.
“I’ll be out in a little ~” she stated from the bathroom teasingly with a chuckle being heard.

@ahn hyejin. "nervous? please. don't be nervous around me, sweetheart. i'm still the same silly guy from back then." he murmured, eyes softening as he spoke. "well, i won't be offended if you ever want to dip. i'm not holding you hostage or anything, obviously. although, i'm not going to say no to laying out on the beach next to such a beautiful woman, heh. gotta keep those gross men away from you." the wolf teased. hyejin wasn't his, yet he'd always felt the need to keep a close eye on her...to protect her. perhaps that was precisely why those few months away from her felt like decades.
the kiss felt like everything he'd imagined, if not better. chris just honestly couldn't believe he'd waited this long to do it. while he surged forward to continue, that soft utterance of his name had him pausing with just mere centimeters between their mouths. "yes, hyej? do you want me to stop?" he spoke just as softly, words nearly being kissed onto her lips. "or do you want more, pretty little elf?"

@christopher bang. She emitted a soft laugh at Chris’s words, finding his quirky behavior to be rather relaxing. Chris always had a natural way of flirting in a subtle manner while he spoke. Hyejin would catch it once in awhile, as her brown orbs eyed the wolf under her, she gently pressed her lips together in a thought. The compliment about Hyejin has her rolling her eyes playfully, “oh stop it. You are making me nervous now.. if anyones hard to resist its you.”
