                  it couldn’t be as bad as it seemed, at least not from the perspective that hyanggi was wanting too. no after everything she left behind, not after she had to abruptly attend sympathetic to the sudden visit of hyunki to her oasis and yet chaotic hometown which didn’t help because she was still in her most comfortable and favorite pajamas. after the short tour in her bedroom — it didn’t lead to much, she saw the corner of the warms of hyunki and the grin he tried to hide while noticing her exquisite decoration. it was the first time ever she had a guy over her own space that wasn’t that nice adult apartment of hers, excuse the hello kitty on the blanket, the pinks, yellows, and blues coming out of her closet. at least the dreamcatcher by the balcony was a nice touch, she wasn’t gonna talk about that though, she was just hoping the conversation would be over. hyanggi wouldn’t leave the fact that jeju island was kind enough to bless every other relationship in her family, determined to fight the odds of the signs brought by the universe and billie himself, she would be okay to just have a weekend without the drama and treat hyunki as a friend. there was nothing wrong in playing fair, but that wasn’t playing fair at all. damn it, island. why does she have to have such a pretty view from her balcony? why did hyunki exist in the first place? why was he so smooth? she crossed her arms inquisitive, avoiding him the eye because it was a terrible thing to believe he was being like that when she explicitly told him not to. ‘ it’s not only bad, it’s cruel. it’s very asshole of you actually. ’ maybe her attitude wasn’t helping at all either, but hyanggi was never not honest to any situation. they broke up for a reason, an important reason which she could barely remember now that he was so close and so godman pretty. yes, pretty. he was very pretty. ‘ i hate kpop boys so much!’ she suddenly yelled over her breath, ignoring the fact that there were other people in the house with them. in fact, it was all her family fault for being so nonchalant with her life, how she wished her father would simply just march the door down and throw hyunki off the balcony. ‘ you guys always act like everything revolves around you! and your wishes, desires! and... and just because you have fame, and money and everything work like magic. it’s just annoying, fucking annoying. ’ there was probably nothing more ironic than curse words coming from five feet and one-inch person wearing pajamas, who wasn’t even that mad, who probably could never get really angry about anything other than online discussions. she didn’t mean that maybe she was trying to convince herself of that, repeating it may it become the truth in her heart. being surrounded by famous people all the time had its perks but it was also a headache, the only one she could focus right now was that she was so attracted to them for a reason and that was completely infuriating. after fuming her head off and only getting a giggle as an answer, she truly considered throwing hyunki off the balcony again but then worst than that she couldn’t help but wonder if he was truly serious about that kiss and everything that would come with it. ‘ i want you to go. leave jeju. this island is not for you, rockstar. ’ almost whispering after a long breath, calming herself to face him which proved her weakness to be true. it was very hard to resist someone so pretty, smooth-looking, and at the same time so casual to the circumstances. altogether, her stance broke completely, making hyanggi have to say what she really wanted to say, losing the sight of everything that was keeping her guard up minutes ago. ‘ you will get too burnt by the sun, you might die. for real. ’ using a hand to cup his stupid face, on the tip of the toes she didn’t quiver the smile that came within and the throw of arms around his giant shoulders to pull him in for a gentle kiss that swayed her off her feet for the ages. finally outpaced by the island itself, no one was a great competitor after all the decades of its success in bringing people back together.
