Her hair flowed as the wind blew past her. her dress waved as she walked towards the shore and her eyes nothing beats the gleams in her eyes even the sparkling bed of ocean in front of them.

He watched her as she began to drown to her own reverie as if forgetting everything around her and even him, he was about to drop his gaze from her when she suddenly turned her gaze towards him and again, wearing her warm smile.

How could such simple gesture could set flame inside him, a tingling sensation that he can’t explain that could drive him to lose himself, never did he expected  to feel contented seeing a smile from the woman who only wished to be in pain.

As if it was the most beautiful thing he had ever lay his eyes to, he couldn’t budge a single step away from her or even set his eyes to something other than her.he subconsciously gulped down, seeing her slowly making her way towards him, he somehow felt nervous as her eyes stayed lock with his the whole time.

She stood in front of him, her gaze shifted somewhere else and pursed her lips waiting for hi.

Finally he snapped back to his self and managed to look away, he cleared out his throat which caught her attention back to him.

Let’s go!

He started with his tracks and she immediately followed him behind, she looked around and her eyes widen upon seeing where they were heading,it was the same construction site from yesterday she thought.

He suddenly stopped which made her almost bumped on him from behind the next thing he did almost choked her in surprise.

He glanced to his side, enough to see her confused fac and without another word from him, his hand reached for hers,surprised on how perfect it is for her hand  to fit with his as he realize.

A sudden push to make him do what he did remembering last night,
seeing her alone and helpless put much guilty in him and worse was seeing her running away from himleaving him behind that almost break him apart.

Holding her hand as if she will leave him again a fear that he can’t even explain to himself whyand just then, while holding her hand, he felt a familiar stir inside
his chest, there goes that skip again that now he even got accustomed to, painful yet could drive him to thrill of contentment.

She was left in awe blinking her eyes thinking if it was just her imagination wondering if it is just lack of sleep but no matter how many times she tried blinking her eyes it still doesn’t change that in fact it’s really  happening.

Her heart raced,pounding inside her chest like wild drums. she became conscious for her hand started to sweat because of the unusual feeling his hold has given to her.

Suddenly she felt her eyes started to stin,  how silly could she get feeling teary-eyed just because of his handbut honestly she can’t explain to herself the overwhelming feeling inside of her that moment. Probably it was just a  simple touch but it could drive her to insanity because of too much happiness.

He looked over his shoulder to see her face,he  saw the astonishment on it. Heheld  her hand tight. not another word from him they started to walk hand-in-hand.why would she be that surprised? She’s  his wife in the first place he thought.

It wasn’t his first time holding someone’s hand but definitely  this is  his first time feeling such happiness. the warmth of her hand sharing with his. It’s just indescribable. lost again from his own bliss selfishly hoping for that feeling to never come to its end.

Jungkook-ah..!You are here.

A voice from an old man brought them back from their own trance. Jungkook smiled towards the older man while Rosé stayed beside him in her silence being the shy girl she is.

Mr. Jang!

The old man walked up to them wearing a warm smile,  directing his gaze a bit towards the silent girl beside his friend’s son. Rosé curved out a slight smell but her gazed dropped when he suddenly let go of her hand.
He shook hands with the older man and the sudden loss was quickly mended as he held her hand once again,her eyes widen a bit before she looked at their hands with tenderness in her eyes even if it is just an act on front of someone even if it will be just for a moment and even if he’s not feeling the same bliss she’s feeling. it is enough for her to be grateful with his sudden affection even if it is just a lie. it would be all right for her to ride-on with his pretending if it entails the opportunity to held his soft warm hand to stand next to him to own him in front of someone else’s eyes for just a while.

Her face flushed red and it didn’t escape the older man’s eyes.The old man looked at her with amazement seeing the loving gaze from her eyes towards her husband.. young love... they look so perfect together.

And this beautiful lady’s probably your wife.

Rosé quickly shifted her gaze towards the old man,  hearing such compliment made her blushed some more and it added more to the old man’s amazement towards hers.

The whole time, he didn’t let go of her hand. on the other hand,she was busy looking around the place. as the old man told them about the plan for the construction her eyes wandered around, searching for her new friend that she met yesterday. probably he could help her find her necklace she thought.

She pouted, she couldn’t find him anywhere. they already toured the place but there weren’t even much workers around.

The old man suddenly chuckled. Jungkook looked at him in wonder. the old man was looking at his wife. he was keeping an eye on her the whole time.
Are you okay dear? It seems like you are upset on something she quickly shook her hand in front of her not wanting to cause some misunderstandings or bothering them especially now that her husband’s there looking at her in confusion.

I’m fine sir, I’m sorry.

The old man’s eyes widen a bit in surprise. Jungkook just watched her and felt that something’s bothering her.

Oh no. It’s okay dear. is there something you want to do?

Rosé’s  gaze landed on Jungkook’s but she shyly looked away and back at the older man, she looked like a child, keeping something to herself.

Do you want to stroll around beach?

Finally, her husband spoke,she looked at him with hesitation in her eyes.
She really likes beaches.
He informed the old man, who just nodded and looked back to Rosé.
Can I?
She stuttered.

He couldn’t help but to smile, there’something in her that could made him a bit giddy insideanother discovery he made that day.

Of course.

His voice was gentle, he let go of her hand and nodded for her that she can go stroll around, she bowed a bit towards the old man and gazed at her husband before the smile in her face vanished,can’t brush away in her mind the thought of him probably trying too hard to pretend why is he doing this? She thought but then his voice beat her thoughts as he called her.

Don’t go too far.

He followed her for a bit,he’s looking at her with the same eyes from last             night and he ended it with a smile across his face, a clear smile from him hidden from the eyes of others. finally a smile that is only meant for him.
