RYUJIN

It's already 1 PM and Yeji and I just finished eating our lunch. We woke up late, specifically at 11 AM from a cuddly and comfortable sleep. Last night, we decided to just spend our second day on Jeju Island in the guest house where we are staying.

We are currently at the living room, cuddling in the sofa. My arms are wrapped around her shoulders and her head are rested on my chest. 

"Are you sure it's fine with you to stay here?" She asked and faced me, well, I'm already getting used to her face being so close to me. I mean, we already kissed. But, yeah, sometimes, it still fascinates me.

"Yeah," I answered. "You're a celebrity, remember? Your safety is at risk when we go out, babe." I said and gave her a peck on her lips. 

"Do it again," Yeji said and pouted her lips. She's so clingy. No, we're both clingy. I smiled and gave her a peck, once again. "I'm sorry." She uttered. 

"Why?" I asked her. 

"Just because," She paused and once again placed her head on my chest. "I just feel sad. I know you want us to date like what normal people do.. But, yeah. Your girlfriend can't do that. That's why I feel sorry." She said, she sounded sad.

"Why are you sorry?" I said and faced her. I saw her apologetic eyes that made me sad. "It's okay, Yeji. It doesn't really matter to me."

"Liar," She said. Her eyes became teary. I didn't know Yeji is such a baby. "I know you want to go on public dates."

"Of course, I'd love to do that." I said. Now, we're facing each other. I took her hand in mine and stroked my thumb on it. "But, what's more important to me is you. I'm more than happy already with the simple things, babe." I continued. "Just us, eating together, chatting with each other, cuddling in bed, that's more than enough for me."

"Thank you.." Yeji said and hugged me with a teary eye.

"You are such a baby," I uttered in our hug. "I love you." I said. 

"Me too."

"Hey, you should say it properly." I told her and she moved away from the hug.

"I love you, Shin Ryujin." She said and cupped my face, leaned to me, closing the gap between our lips. 

I was surprised by her sudden action to me but I still manage to respond to her kiss. We were kissing passionately until she slowly placed her hands on my back, rubbing it softly. I then put my hands on her cheeks cupping it, and slowly laid her down, deepening our shared kiss. When her head was already comfortably supported by the couch, I carefully lowered my hands and inserted it in her sleeveless shirt, causing her to bite my lips in surprise.

"Getting impatient, Shin Ryujin?" She murmured after moving away from our kiss and gave me a teasing look. "Save it for later, babe." She said and extended her hand to me inviting me to stand up. "Let's watch a movie, instead."

"I hate you," I said and rolled my eyes. I accepted her hand and we went to the room.

"I didn't know I have a naughty girlfriend." Yeji uttered while we're on our way to the room.

"S-stop!" I said. "I was carried away by your kiss."

"You're cute, babe." She uttered.

"What do you want to watch?" I asked her. We are now on our bed, finding a film to watch on Netflix.

"Hmm," Yeji hummed. "Have you watch 'Be With You?'"
