The morning sunlight is like youIt might be a little childish, but I like itIf Iām by your side when you wake me upI have nothing more to wish for
She seemed hesitant when he first asked her but he smiled, took her hand in his, and pressed a gentle kiss to the back of her hand to sayĀ āitāll be okayā without having to speak a single word. It wouldnāt be Jihyun if she didnāt have her reservations about certain things, a hesitation he wouldnāt see from others, one he didnāt with his ex-girlfriends, but he said it back then and heāll still say it now.Ā
I donāt need you to be perfect but for so long, Iāve wanted you to be mine.Ā
He brings them back to the night where the path theyāre on began. For him, it started long before that summer night but he knows when they left, everything was about to change. The sand is warm beneath his feet and he fibs that he sees glass in the sand the way she was going for the excuse to lift her up into his arms, carrying her closer to the shore and stealing a kiss. There it is, one of his smug grins when she accuses him of lying.Ā
āThereās no glass, is there?āĀ
āThere couldāve been.āĀ
He drops the picnic basket down first, more hesitant to let her go and she smacks his arm for taking so long. When it comes to his cheesy antics, Jihyun tends to catch on quickly. His proudest moment is how long it took her to realize he was bringing more and more of his clothes over. Itās the source of jokes now but heās proud of it anyway. His sister told him he was too young to know what love is. At sixteen, he was too young. In his twenties, for the type of guy he used to be, maybe heās still too young but when she looks at him, even while devouring a sandwich and complaining that he didnāt have to take the time to cook himself, thatād she would be just as happy with McDonaldās, he knows heās not too young anymore.Ā
He finally understands what his brother saw in Theresa: a future. She falls asleep first and itās his chance to say what heās been wanting to say, what heāll have the courage to tell her when sheās awake one day.Ā
I love you.Ā
The sun is close to rising and he knows he canāt let her sleep much longer. With a smile, he kisses her cheek, a light shake of her shoulder, the dayās starting without them. When her eyes flutter open, he knows something more is starting too. Them. This. Us.Ā
Letās all together one, two, three, letās begin
