Chapter 21
Sung Hoon started to gasp for air. That scared Kyung Hee. "Sung
Hoon.. are you okay?" He shook his head. Then suddenly, he leaned
over and hugged her hard. He buried his face into her neck and
didn't let go. Kyung Hee stood still. She didn't know what to do.
"Sung Hoon.. are you okay?" Still no answer.
She continued to hold him as he shivered in her arms. She ran her
fingers through his hair and whispered in his ear like he was a
little child that needed comforting. Sung Hoon began to breathe
easier and calmed down. Then he realized he was holding onto Kyung
Hee a little too hard. He let go, his face blushing. "Uh, sorry
about that. I didn't mean to."
"It's okay."
Sung Hoon gazed at Kyung Hee as the moonlight graced her face. Her
eyes were closed. She was like a sleeping angel. She looked like it
too with her raven hair flowing down her back, her little white
dress, and she was so naturally beautiful that she didn't need
make-up. Sung Hoon began to lean forward to kiss her but then
suddenly she opened her eyes. He pulled back instantly, his cheeks
turning red. 'Crap! Did she know what I was about to do?'
Kyung Hee patted him on the shoulder. "Hey Sung Hoon.."
"What?"
"Look. There's a full moon out tonight."
Sung Hoon looked up at the sky. The moon was full and bright. Then
he looked over at Kyung Hee, who was smiling. Then she asked him,
"Do you remember when we were ten, we saw the moon's reflection on
the lake? You told me the moon was a ball so I would go in and get
it."
Sung Hoon smiled when he reminisced about his childhood past. It
had been a happy one ever since he met Kyung Hee. "Yeah. You went
into the lake and started to get the moon ball. And you kept asking
me why the ball would disappear everytime you came near it. You
were so stupid!" He started laughing. Kyung Hee gave him a look.
That made him stop laughing. But then she gave him a little smile
to show that she wasn't mad and it made him feel better.
"Yeah because of your dumb lies I almost ended up drowning."
"Yeah.. I had to jump in and save you. I was so worried."
Kyung Hee looked at him. "Were you?"
Sung Hoon faced her. He was gazing directly into her eyes. He
always thought the best part about Kyung Hee were her eyes. They
were big, innocent, and honest. Every time he looked into her eyes,
he would remember the first time he met her. "Yeah kinda. I mean if
you ended up drowning then I would have no one else to pick
on."
Kyung Hee looked down and smiled. She knew what Sung Hoon really
meant though. They continued talking about their past and before
they knew it, they both fell asleep on each other's
shoulders.
