Kiss The Ground - Volume 6-#7
#2
Winchester United FC’s new season has been incredibly busy. It was a hectic day, participating in interviews and events every day, and flying around the UK to compete in league matches.
Adrian’s wedding date was right in the middle of his busy schedule. Friday noon, the start of the three-day Golden Week holiday. It was truly an amazing day.
The day before the long-awaited wedding, Adrian handed over two large boxes decorated with gold with a proud face. What was carefully packaged inside the extravagant Pandora’s box was a blindingly white silk suit.
“no… “Is this the dress code?”
Cha Hyun, with wide eyes, grabbed the shoulder part of the dress and lifted it carefully. Misha, standing close to Cha Hyun, also cupped her mouth in a circle.
“Oh, you paid a lot of attention.”
“It’s not like you care, is it? “You mean you prepared all these things in different sizes?”
“Because Adrian likes flashy things.”
Cha Hyeon looked down at the two sets of clothes on the table and clicked his tongue. Even to Cha Hyun, who was not familiar with fashion, the appearance of the clothes displayed in front of him looked luxurious. A white dress shirt and three-piece suit, plus a pastel yellow tie, gold collar pin and cufflinks. It was a perfect set of robes.
But yellow points on a white base… Isn’t this combination a bit like a night stage?
“It’s cool, but… Is this really for bridesmaids? “The groom can wear it.”
“is it? I think it’s okay. “The design is pretty too.”
“Everything will be pretty when you wear it.”
Misha lifted his tie and examined it with a serious expression. Perhaps because she has an eye for clothes and accessories, even her dazzling tight suit doesn’t feel burdensome. After thinking for a moment, Chahyun placed Missha’s suit in his arms.
“You try it on first.”
Misha nodded and took off his dressing gown without hesitation. The way she buttons a new shirt and attaches accessories here and there is natural and skillful. Finally, when Cha Hyun tied his tie, he spun around in place and put both hands in his pants pockets.
“How do I look?”
“… … .”
That’s right… … .
Naturally, Misha was dazzlingly gorgeous. Her shimmering silk suit paired with her muted brown hair created her unrealistic appearance. Her antique colors and designs doubled his unique aristocratic atmosphere, but what was most beautiful was his attitude, as if wearing such fancy clothes was not awkward at all.
Of course it’s cool. It’s cool, but… .
Cha Hyeon took a step back. Seeing her silent gaze just looking at me, Misha slowly took her hand out of her pocket.
“Strange?”
“no… … .”
It was a defeat. She knew that the suit looked good on Misha, but she had no idea what he would look like in the white suit. Videos I once saw on the Internet flashed through my head. Weak grooms burst into tears when they see their brides-to-be trying on wedding dresses.
That was real. In an instant, my tear ducts became cold. It was absurd.
“yuan.”
Pretty, cute, cool… . The guy who couldn’t hear the praise he always heard made a puzzled face.
“what’s the matter?”
“No, just,”
Let’s not cry like a fool. A slow compliment came out of my mouth belatedly.
“just. It suits me so well… .”
“… … .”
“please… … “I think you’re getting married.”
The spacious living room became quiet. This is because Misha and Yoon Cha-hyun kept their mouths shut at the same time.
Cha Hyeon’s bright red eyes and Missha’s clear eyes met each other. Words that I had never been able to say were fluttering in my throat as if they were about to jump out. His face grew hot as he felt that only his heart was ahead. Because in these hectic days, I didn’t even have time to think about proposing. So, the Misha in front of me right now… … .
Cha Hyeon carefully held Misha’s hand.
“You and me… … .”
Misha calmly placed his hand on Chahyun’s hand. It seemed like he was curious about what to say next.
However, the moment Chahyeon opened his mouth to say something he didn’t know, something rushed towards him and jumped into Misha’s arms.
“Ugh, red ginseng… … .”
It seemed that their dog was also mesmerized by the white robes. The sight of him suddenly coming between the two and licking Misha’s lips was a sight to behold. Wok! I woke up to a loud bark.
“… I’ll go and prepare too, Misha. “It’s already late.”
Cha Hyun took a step back with an embarrassed look on his face and muttered. As he finished his sentence and turned around, Misha’s silent gaze followed him for a long time.
After struggling to comfort Hongsam, who had been asking where they were going since the holidays, Yoon Cha-hyun and Misha, who had finished preparing late, hurriedly set off for the wedding hall. The meeting place engraved on the wedding invitation was a deserted outdoor wedding venue in northern London. Cha Hyun got out of the car, stood at the entrance to the ceremony hall, and opened his mouth wide. Next to him, Misha opened her mouth wide again.
“Wow, you really put a lot of thought into it.”
“No, this isn’t something you care about?”
The wedding venue, set on a lawn so wide that the end could not be seen, was decorated with over a thousand flowers. The flowers that were closely gathered were all white and yellow, the same combination as the bridesmaid suits worn by Yoon Cha-hyun and Missha. Elegant and classic iron tables and natural decorations boasted an unbalanced yet harmonious design. Even if you look at it, it’s an exterior that cost 12 weeks’ worth of wages.
As I approached the entrance of the ceremony hall, two employees in charge of the wedding approached me. They pinned yellow boutonnieres on their chests to prove that they were invited guests.
After completing identity verification, I exited the huge archway and a wide flower field appeared before my eyes.
“really pretty.”
“I know.”
The noon wedding ceremony was beautiful with the sun shining softly. Every time I take a breath, peace seems to rush into the tip of my nose.
Guests were already gathered at the tables lined up on either side of the long wedding road in the center, enjoying the catering. As he moved his feet following the sound of a string instrument like a breeze, the protagonist standing just inside raised a glass of champagne.
“Misha, Yuan! Come on! “I thought you weren’t coming because it was too late.”
Adrian, wrapped in a black tuxedo, was smiling. After lightly greeting Cha Hyeon, he scolded me.
“Is it that good? “Her mouth is very catchy.”
“It’s good. “I am the happiest man in the world right now.”
“congratulation for the wedding. Adrian. “I really didn’t know how to do it.”
“Misha, you’re celebrating, right?”
Misha and Adrian hugged. Inyoung, wearing a pure white dress, approached behind the three people who were having a short chat. Adrian immediately turned his head to check on him, gave him a short kiss on the cheek, and wrapped his arms around his waist.
“This is Ayla. my wife… “Not now, but in an hour.”
The bride-to-be was a woman with long, beautiful brown hair. Yoon Cha-hyeon and Misha took turns shaking hands with the bride.
“hello.”
“Hello, this is my first time seeing you.”
There had been a scandalous rumor among the team members that Adrian, who was thirsty for stimulation, had offered his body and mind to a woman with dominant tendencies, but the bride he actually saw was completely different from the rumors. Rather, it gives a bright and bright impression, with vitality radiating from the shallow dimples. After finishing her greeting, the priest immediately opened her mouth.
“What you are wearing is the suit I prepared. Do you like the costume we prepared?”
“sure.”
Cha Hyeon, facing the energetic smile, smiled awkwardly. Misha, standing next to me, added her gentle exclamation.
“I like it. “You have a special eye.”
The bride opened her eyes in surprise at the sincere compliment. He glanced at Misha’s appearance one more time and immediately answered with a wide smile.
“you’re welcome. It’s like clothes made just for you. “I think you’ll like the suit too.”
“It is an honour.”
“I think my friends will love it too. “Everyone is waiting.”
Misha smiled softly at the playful answer. She was a person with a friendly personality that was evident even in short conversations. She pointed to a party table in the distance behind Adrian, who was standing next to her.
“The other guys aren’t that bad, are they?”
“Well, it’s okay in its own way.”
All of the Winchester faces gathered around and chatting were wearing the suits they had received in advance. It wasn’t really strange since they were basically guys with good physiques, but honestly, it was a bit funny to see guys who normally wear shabby uniforms wearing pure white suits.
“Go and say hello. “It will start soon.”
The couple picked up a new champagne glass, handed it to Yoon Cha-hyun and Misha, and quickly disappeared somewhere.
As we approached the table where there were many familiar faces, our colleagues raised their hands to greet us. After greeting their families one by one, Cahill Love came to the two people’s side.
“Misha, Yuan. Come on.”
“Hello, Captain.”
It’s strange to admit, but Cahill Love also looked good in a bridesmaid suit. Although he gave the impression of a young prosecutor or lawyer rather than the captain of a football club. He looked up and down at Yoon Cha-hyun and Missha, who were wearing the same clothes, and gently raised the corner of his mouth.
“The clothes are very nice. “They both look good together.”
Then he suddenly stretched out his hand and placed it on Misha’s chest. At the moment when Misha, who was involved, and Chahyun Yoon, who was next to him, stiffened at the same time due to his unhesitating movement, he immediately put his thumb and index finger together and removed something.
“Except for the dog hair in these places.”
“Ahh.”
“It looks like they took a walk together before coming, right?”
Chahyeon hurriedly shook off Misha’s clothes. Now I see that both his clothes and mine are covered in Hongsam’s hair. I guess I should thank you for letting me know about this… . As I roughly adjusted my clothes while receiving the captain’s staring gaze, Jude appeared with a sullen face.
“Why are you so late? “I live closest to here.”
“Just getting ready. “Has everyone arrived now?”
“okay. We all gathered together while we waited. We too… And that one too.”
Where he was standing, women wearing matching yellow dresses were gathered. Looking at the outfit, it looked like she was probably a bridesmaid.
Likewise, those who were chatting happily smiled meaningfully when they realized that their eyes had met. Did you say you were planning something? Jude gently raised his hand and whispered to Cha Hyun and Misha.
“I have a good feeling today. I think a fateful love will begin… .”
There was a will to accomplish something this time in his softly burning gaze. I’m waiting for this one too. If he was upright, he was a really upright guy. Yoon Cha-hyeon and Misha looked at each other, shrugged their shoulders, and laughed a little.
A warm, sunny noon. With flower petals fluttering, the bride and groom stepped together in the center of the aisle. Soft string music rang out behind them as they stepped forward, cutting through a pile of brightly colored flowers. The guests sitting at the round table blessed the back of the beautiful couple.
The two people, holding hands and parting the fluttering fabric as if dancing, stopped in front of a low podium. It is a moment of infinite humility for two loving people who have walked a long road together.
As if turning the volume on the speaker, a faintly trembling voice came out in the quiet air.
“Chi, dear… Adrian… … .”
The officiant at this wonderful wedding was Winchester United FC coach Vladimir. It is a very meaningful event for a player to have the club’s manager serve as the wedding officiant. However, Blue, who opened her mouth with a solemn expression, eventually began to shed tears halfway through her congratulatory speech.
“noble… This sungaan… We care for each other… I love you… .”
The figure of the veteran who led the team to victory is nowhere to be seen, and once again, there is only one churros seller standing on the podium. It seems that no matter how high a person reaches the top, his or her mentality does not change. The soft applause of the guests added to his efforts not to burst into tears on a good day, and Blue, who had somehow managed to catch his breath, finished the rest of his remarks.
Children scattered flowers on the pure white wedding road. After completing their vows, the bride and groom looked at each other. It’s time to exchange rings.
The groom took the bride’s left hand and held it. A round token that sparkles in the sunlight is gently placed on the bride’s ring finger. Next, the bride put the ring on the groom’s hand. Colleagues and family members who watched the entire process cheered. However, the two people in front are just looking at each other quietly, as if they can’t hear anything.
Yoon Cha-hyeon looked blankly at the shining scene. He couldn’t take his eyes off.
“beautiful.”
Cha Hyeon suddenly turned his head at the faint muttering. Misha, who was sitting right next to her, was focusing his gaze on the couple facing each other. Just like Yoon Cha-hyun.
“Adrian’s bride. I only talked a little bit… . “He was a good guy.”
“iced coffee.”
The bride was said to be a professional volleyball player. The tanned arms coming out of the sleeves of his white dress and his healthy expression made us imagine his energy on the court. Soccer players and volleyball players. It was a cute combination, like a teen movie. They will definitely be a good couple who will fill each other’s hands and feet.
“… that’s right. “I think I’m a really cool person too.”
Chahyun turned his head again and headed towards the same place as Misha. The couple was laughing together while holding hands, wondering what they had been talking about for a while. Rather than a couple burning with passionate love, they seem more like soulmates who know everything about each other.
“I think Adrian has changed a bit.”
“I know.”
The guy who was as light as a feather flying in the air is now just looking at his bride with quiet eyes. With a serious gaze, as if he would not be swayed by anything. The fact that he is facing only one person while standing in front of countless people is already a proof and a pledge in itself.
How much does love really change people?
“… I take back what I said about her being promiscuous. “My thoughts were short.”
Seeing Misha reflecting with a sullen expression, Chahyun let out a small laugh. They, now legally married, turned to the guests again. The two people, going back the way they came, were now holding hands with the same ring. People turned to watch the couple passing by the chair.
Misha, who was staring at the back of his friend who was walking away, moved his lips slightly.
“Adrian, may you be happy forever.”
Misha’s side face as she chanted like that was more beautiful than any bride Cha-Hyun Yoon had ever seen. Cha Hyeon found Misha’s hand under the table and held it tightly. He seemed to be standing still, but then he held my hand without saying a word.
The person who will be happier than anyone else is you, Misha. Because I’m going to make it that way.
Feeling the body heat secretly mixing through his palms, Cha Hyun was convinced that the person sitting next to him at this moment felt the same way.
***
“How did you propose?”
“Push… .”
The person who heard the question spat out all the alcohol he had in his mouth. Cha Hyeon glanced at the coughing guy and poured his sixth drink down his throat.
The reception that followed after the main ceremony had a leisurely atmosphere. Babies following their parents are rolling and playing on the lawn, and people sharing finger food and champagne are all talking with their faces turning red under the midday sunlight.
Cha Hyeon was leaning against the table, holding in one hand a bottle of honey-colored champagne handed to him by a waiter. From afar, Misha, holding a baby, could be seen surrounded by Winchester’s colleagues and the bride’s bridesmaids.
The child wearing a bright yellow dress was Lou’s daughter, who turned three this year, and once she was in Misha’s arms, she had no intention of leaving his arms. Misha was especially popular with babies and animals. She is a woman, to be exact, to babies and animals.
“Yuan, who are you going to propose to?”
Adrian, who swiped the alcohol flowing down his mouth with the back of his hand, opened his eyes wide. Cha Hyun narrowed his eyes and answered.
“You can do it. “If I find someone willing to do it.”
“Well, that’s it, but… … . “I’m a little surprised that you asked that.”
“what?”
“For some reason, I got the impression that I would naturally do well.”
Adrian said while looking at me. In fact, Yoon Cha-hyun had the same thought. If you really find someone you’re thinking of marrying, proposing will be a piece of cake. But the reality is, the precious ring has been rotting in a locker for several weeks.
“Well, I thought about something natural… . “I think it’s a bit common to do it in places like restaurants.”
“It’s corny. “It’s gone out of fashion.”
“But you can’t just plant flowers outdoors…” “That doesn’t work either.”
“we? Do you want to be stuffed on YouTube?”
The groom clicked his tongue. Cha Hyun slowly turned to face him. I was a little uneasy as a person to discuss things with, but no matter how much I thought about it, the director and father were out. Right now, we need advice from someone even a little younger.
“You confidently succeeded. “As a pioneer, are there any techniques you can teach me?”
“hmm… … . “I think the woman is.”
Adrian looked into space with a serious face. Cha Hyeon leaned a little closer towards him.
“The atmosphere is the most important.”
What is it, a sound that even children know… . Looking at Cha Hyeon, who was biting her body with a sullen expression on her face, Adrian added her words quickly.
“What I mean is, you need a really clear and specific atmosphere, not something vague like a restaurant or flowers. “An atmosphere that makes it impossible for the opponent to escape.”
“what is that.”
“Isolation.”
Chahyun’s eyes widened at the sudden words. Adrian, who saw the surprised expression, only then made a triumphant expression.
“I feel like there are only two of us in the world. Cozy and secret atmosphere. Confidence that only we are each other’s true love. “It’s important to give your spouse that kind of trust.”
He was raising his voice like a male orator. Although this is a rumor, it is not a very unconvincing statement. Cha Hyeon muttered.
“Why are you asking because someone doesn’t know? “How else could you give off that kind of atmosphere?”
“It’s a resort.”
“vacation spot?”
“okay. A private beach with only two of them. That’s where you set the right mood and propose. Whispering love under a night sky full of stars. Then 99% will pass. “Look at me.”
It was a characteristic of men to indulge in the bravado of successfully seducing the other person, when in reality they were the ones being fooled. I saw everyone laughing from ear to ear throughout the wedding, so what?
“So you proposed at a resort. By isolating the other person?”
“okay. That’s the secret to my success. “Is this the effect of the swinging bridge of love?”
Adrian answered reassuringly and turned his head to look into the distance. What was within sight was his bride, smiling and surrounded by his colleagues. His bravado is bravado, but the way the corners of his mouth loosen up is not a bad thing to see.
“So we decided to go there for our honeymoon. “It’s a place with memories, so it’s meaningful.”
“… I see.”
“My wife likes it too.”
“… … .”
i envy you. It was an honest feeling that passed through her heart. Being completely connected to someone you love was the greatest achievement of your life. To take first place in the league, to lift the Big Ear, to win the Ballon d’Orni as this season’s best player award… . Cha-Hyun Yoon thought that it was a once-in-a-lifetime honor that shined brighter than anything else.
“That’s great.”
Concluding the conversation, Cha Hyun drank all the champagne left in the glass. I could see people who had been scattered in the distance gathering together on the wide lawn. An event that can be considered the flower of the reception is about to begin.
“I think he threw the bouquet. “I’ll go.”
“See you later.”
“Don’t drink too much, Yuan.”
Adrian placed the glass on the table and rushed over. Meanwhile, the bride slowly stepped forward, and the women who were to receive the bouquet stood a little behind. The men watching gathered a few steps away. Misha, who had unexpectedly joined the event among the crowd, was seen wandering around awkwardly. she was cute
“Isolation.”
Now that I think about it, I have never gone on a trip somewhere with Misha. Although she once went on a brief date in Korea, she doesn’t want to call the experience a trip as it involved running away from people’s eyes.
Yoon Cha-hyun and Misha were always alone, but they were always with everyone.
“hmm… .”
I felt strangely dizzy. The atmosphere, the resort, the isolation of just the two of us… . The words I had just heard were flying around in my head.
Will Misha like it if I ask him to go away together? What kind of expression should I make? If you ask them to spend time together in their own space… … . Cha Hyun quietly watched the bride lifting the bouquet with slightly dazed eyes.
Ayla shook the bouquet a couple of times as if to give it a kick, and then cheerfully threw it into the air. It was an incredibly beautiful scene.
Except for one thing: the bride’s occupation was a volleyball player.
The excessively bold bouquet pierced the sky at a sharp angle. That’s a familiar toss. The bride, who was surprised herself, covered his mouth, but the bouquet had already floated into the air. The bride’s teammates who were gathered together jumped into the air at the same time. Blocking like an iron wall! However, the high parabola has already gone beyond the players’ reach.
“uh… .”
Um, that… . Cha Hyeon, who was watching, frowned. The bouquet, falling in a curved line, was now flying towards the groom’s bridesmaids standing behind it. Another problem was that they were soccer players.
While everyone was shocked, it was Winchester United FC goalkeeper Lou Ekeinde who reflexively popped out. Unfortunately, he had a habit of snatching up round objects flying in the air. Of course, it was better than kicking the bouquet, but unfortunately, he was already a married man with a three-year-old daughter.
At that time, midfielder Alois jumped forward after a rough struggle. At the same time, Winston and Leroy rushed in from the side, pushing his shoulders and extending their hands into the air. It was a fierce battle.
The bouquet hit someone’s degenerated fingertip and bounced into the air again. Bright yellow petals fall like rain on the lawn, and
The bouquet that lost its owner was very slowly, incredibly slowly, sucked into someone’s arms.
“… … .”
Everything became quiet.
What I could see through the fluttering golden light was Missha, who had unknowingly received the bouquet and hugged it.
Everyone around them gaped.
Immediately after the very short silence, the bride’s bridesmaids approached Misha’s side with high exclamations. In the blink of an eye, she saw Misha smiling embarrassedly, wrapped in a yellow dress.
However, the one who was most shocked was Yoon Cha-hyun, who was watching the scene from a few meters away. My heart suddenly dropped, feeling as if I had been hit in the back of the head.
“mi… … .”
Pile of white and yellow flowers, loud laughter filling the room, people flocking in, Misha holding flowers… … .
I was in a daze. Her face grew hot and her heartbeat grew louder, almost as if it was ringing right in her ears. With a thud, thump, and irregular heartbeat, consciousness gradually fades into the distance. It was only a moment before my body, which had lost its balance, collapsed at an angle and was sucked into someone’s arms.
***
“Wrong! “All they talk about is Misha!”
Jude, looking as if he was going to burst into tears at any moment, trudged over to the table.
“If I had known it would be like this, I should have received it even if I had to die… “It’s absolutely ridiculous.”
The fateful love that I cried out for so much disappeared like smoke in a misplaced bouquet. This is because all of the bride’s friends have lost their minds in praising Misha. You dirty world that only sees faces! Two black figures muttered through the blurry vision that wiped away tears.
“uh?”
At the table where I thought Yoon Cha-hyun was sitting alone, there was one more person. He stood with one arm holding Yoon Cha-hyeon, who was bowing down with his bright red face.
“What is it, Yuan… , are you drunk? “How much did you drink?”
“It was already like this when I came.”
Cahill Love shrugged his shoulders at Jude Ingram, who was hesitantly approaching. Jude, who had been examining the condition of his friend, who was limp like a doll whose strings had fallen, turned his gaze to the table. At first glance, there were more than five champagne glasses scattered around.
“He can’t even drink. “What do you mean, pour it out and drink it alone?”
“Well, it looks like you’re excited.”
“I really… Anyway, that’s true.”
Cahill held Cha Hyun’s body, which was leaning even further, with his arms and supported it. Jude took a half step closer and carefully stretched out his hand and placed it on Chahyun’s forehead, who had closed his eyes. Cha Hyun, who had gulped down a series of bottles of high-alcohol champagne, was not in a good condition at all. For a guy who takes great care of himself, he is in a state of intoxication that is difficult to see.
“I think I drank too much? “How do I send it home?”
“I don’t think you need to worry about that.”
“Eh?”
At that time, a long, wide shadow appeared in front of the three people. Jude, who was standing in front, took a deep breath and raised his head.
“yuan.”
Misha Asplund. In the blink of an eye, In In-in, who had been surrounded by women just a few minutes ago, was standing in front of the three people like a ghost. The yellow bouquet was thrown mercilessly on the table. It is no illusion that the gaze peering through the fluttering flower petals appears a few degrees colder than usual.
At the moment when a bitter silence surrounded the table, Chahyeon, who was in Cahill’s arms, took a step forward.
“Misha… .”
It was the unbalanced gait of a drunkard. After taking a few precarious steps, his body eventually tilted forward.
Misha skillfully caught and hugged Chahyeon, who was falling down with a bright red face. As she was drunk, she touched her hot cheek with the back of her hand to check her condition, and carefully removed her empty glass from her hand. She then raised her head and saw the two people standing in front of her.
“Come on?”
“No, I didn’t do that.”
Jude shook his head at the low voice that seemed to freeze. It was a desperate denial. The cold gaze immediately turned to Cahill standing next to him.
“Then is it you?”
“Me neither.”
The captain met Misha’s gaze with a faint smile. Misha, looking at the two with her eerie eyes, slowly opened her lips.
“Yoon Cha-hyun can’t drink.”
“We know that… .”
“If I knew, I shouldn’t have let you drink it. “Did you just leave it like this until it happened?”
I’m not even a nanny, so how can I find and stop her from spreading things as she pleases? But as the blunt guy lowered his voice even further, he was unable to respond. The guy who used to smile brightly in front of Yoon Cha-hyeon becomes ferocious like a heated blade at times like this.
“Me and Yoon Cha-hyun will go first. “Tell people that.”
Misha turned around while hugging Cha Hyeon. It was ridiculous how she rolled her eyes every game and treated the rampaging guy like a glass vase that was about to break. While Jude was speechless, the person standing next to him slowly opened his mouth.
“It seems like you’ve been thinking a lot these days.”
“… … .”
“Maybe I can help? As I said before, I… .”
Misha’s eyes stared at Cahill as if he were going to cut him into pieces.
“Fuck it. “I don’t need your help.”
“That’s disappointing.”
Hiccup. Cahill smiled casually next to Jude, who was starting to convulse her body.
“It is the captain’s duty to pay attention to the physical condition of his team members.”
“Just find someone else.”
“Are you sure you’ll be okay? “Even without my help.”
“From now on, I will take care of it.”
Misha let out a sharp sigh and immediately took a step forward. Yoon Cha-hyun’s body, which was sturdy in its own right, was held in Misha’s arms like a feather. The two people, tightly clinging to each other, parted the garden and quickly disappeared. The only ones left behind are Jude Ingram and Cahill Love.
A chilly air flowed behind the empty remnants. Jude unconsciously rolled his eyes and looked to the side.
Cahill, who was standing right next to me, lowered his eyes and savored his food. He quickly hides his happy smile and has a strange expression on his face. Jude immediately understood the meaning of that expression. What the low, sunken gaze embraces is neither disappointment nor anger, but endless boredom.
It’s right to run away. My instincts are screaming so.
However, like a frog facing its natural enemy, he could not move even a single step. Soon Cahill carefully raised his head and looked at Jude’s face. There was a strange smile on the corner of the mouth that was curved like a snake.
“Then shall we have a drink together? Jude.”
Hiccup, hiccup. Jude just raised his glass, his face frowning.
***
“yuan.”
A soft echo rang in my dazed mind. It feels as if the body, which was submerged in deep, deep water, is being lifted upward. A familiar voice penetrates my heavy consciousness.
“Yuan, wake up. “We’re all home.”
A hand stroking his hair lifted Cha Hyeon’s consciousness into the air. The soft body temperature soon slid down my cheek. Cha Hyeon blinked his eyes a couple of times and wiped away his blurry vision. A familiar and warm space. It’s in Misha’s car.
“Why did you drink so much?”
A lovely face appeared through my blurred vision. Misha, leaning one arm on her steering wheel, was leaning her body towards her Cha Hyun, who was sitting in her passenger seat. Her tightly closed mouth and straight, sharp eyebrows keenly monitor Cha Hyeon’s condition.
It felt like the front and back of time had been cut out and pasted together with tape. Just a moment ago, it was on the lawn in the afternoon, but now it has been moved to the dark and quiet garage of Misha’s house. As he blinked his eyes without any response, he reached out and touched Cha Hyun’s lips.
“The wedding came a little early. Because it was an atmosphere of destruction.”
“… … .”
“Judd Ingram and Cahill Love were very worried… . I think I drank too much. “I left you in my care.”
“… … .”
“What if you drink like that when I’m not around?”
The voice reprimanding self-indulgence is soft and adult. It’s a slightly unfamiliar face, different from when he pretended to pout at Cha Hyun’s pranks and acted calmly. He stared into Cha-hyeon’s eyes for a moment, then stretched out his upper body further and covered Cha-hyeon’s body. This is an action to unfasten the seat belt.
“I’ll come down and give you a hug, so don’t get up and sit down.”
However, as soon as Cha Hyeon was free, he grabbed Misha’s face right in front of him. Misha took in her breath slightly as he pulled her tightly held cheek and pressed his lips against hers. Her hand came up and touched Cha Hyeon’s shoulder, but she didn’t try to pull it away.
Chahyun pushed his tongue into the gap between her opened lips and sucked strongly on the inside of Misha’s mouth. The kiss, which seemed to devour her mucous membrane and tongue, was closer to suction than a kiss. Their gazes met through slightly widened eyes.
“haha… .”
Chahyeon, who had been licking his lips and teeth recklessly, finally caught his breath with his tongue on Misha’s lips. The alcohol-soaked body could not even support the weight of the head. Her weakened arm slipped down, almost hanging around Misha’s neck, but Misha didn’t show any signs of embarrassment and immediately raised Chahyeon’s upper body and hugged her. A tongue-loosening sound escaped through the cracks of her wet lips.
“Misha, bouquet… “Did you bring it?”
Misha furrowed one eyebrow. She may think that Cha Hyun is drunk.
“Because you eat… It was so pretty. bouquet… … .”
“… … .”
“really really… They fit together well, everyone… I liked it… … .”
The voice gradually decreased. Misha, holding a bouquet of yellow and white blessing flowers, was truly sweet. The white robes and colorful yellow ties were all breathtakingly beautiful. The faint afterimage still remains in my alcohol-stained mind.
“Yuan, are you okay?”
I can’t bear it anymore. A dull worry burst out from the cloudy top of my head. I knew that it wasn’t the ideal situation I had been looking for, but I couldn’t help the impulse of this moment. Cha Hyun grabbed the hem of Misha’s clothes with his fist and pulled. Misha, biting her red lip, lowered her body as she was being pulled.
“Misha, we… .”
“Yuan, us.”
The voices that came out at the same time were intertwined. Chahyeon stopped talking without realizing it, but Misha didn’t. The winner, who had the upper hand, spoke alone.
“Shall we go on a trip?”
“uh?”
“To a place where we can be alone, very far away.”
My mouth was wide open. This is because what I was trying to say was completely taken away. Without leaving out a single Tosi.
“When I saw Adrian going on his honeymoon, I felt envious. “I think it would be nice if we went somewhere.”
“uh… … .”
“I’m on vacation until next week. “Let’s go before the next game starts.”
What was conveyed in his calm voice was not a sudden impulse, but a deliberate plan. It’s as if I’m only now saying something I’ve been thinking about for a long time. My body stiffened from the embarrassment of losing my player. Seeing Cha Hyun not answering right away, Misha added slowly.
“If it’s okay with you, even tomorrow.”
suddenly? now? Suddenly from your side? But unexpectedly, a stupid question came out of my mouth.
“I like it… … Where… … .”
Does it matter where you go now? However, Misha immediately answered Cha Hyeon’s stupid question.
“Actually, I’ve decided where to go.”
“what? really?”
“however… “Yuan might get angry.”
“ok?”
The serious face took on a slightly subtle color. It’s an expression I’ve seen somewhere before. Hongsam’s face resembles that of Hongsam, who was chewing on Missha’s expensive loafers instead of dog gum, when she faced her owners after work.
When Cha Hyun narrowed his eyes, the whites of his eyes were visible, and he hesitated, whispering quietly.
“My island… .”
“Your island… ?”
A few images of Misha’s Island passed through my mind, which had not been detoxified from alcohol. She couldn’t tell which one she was talking about. I don’t even know why people look at me like that when I say that… . He gently brushed his lips against Chahyeon’s lips as he waited for further explanation.
“In Sweden… “There is one.”
I faintly sobered up. Chahyun frowned and looked into Misha’s eyes.
“No way, did you buy it again?”
“Don’t scold me. huh?”
“You… .”
“Don’t scold me.”
I couldn’t say anything else as he kissed me on the side as if covering my mouth. What blocks the scolding of extravagance is a sweet and charming kiss, different from Cha Hyeon’s cruel kiss under the influence of alcohol. He whispered between kisses that sounded like birdsong.
“Yuan, do you know the shining sea?”
“ocean?”
“The sea shines blue even at night.”
Cha Hyun’s red eyes widened at the sudden sound.
“It’s called bioluminescence. A phenomenon in which plankton living in the sea is stimulated and glows blue. It’s not common, and you have to be lucky to see it… “They say it’s very nice and beautiful.”
“… … .”
“This weekend, we might be able to see it on our island.”
our island. The name has just changed. I said something, but now I think I understand. Misha wanted to show me something, so she was so observant.
“Maybe Yuan will like it too. It’s a really pretty place. I would be so happy if we could spend it together… .”
“ha… … .”
It was an obvious cute gesture, but I couldn’t help but soften my heart. Without trying to say anything, Chahyeon stretched out his body on the sheet. I don’t know if it’s because of the alcohol or the sweet kiss, but either way doesn’t matter now that I’ve already lost my temper with Misha.
“… okay. “Take me with you.”
“i love it. happy.”
Misha kissed me with a happy face. He crashed his lips against her forehead, eyelids, bridge of the nose, cheeks, lips, chin, etc., and then carefully bit all of her lips. And then he spoke faintly:
“I want to see it together soon… … yuan.”
“me too.”
Chahyeon wrapped his arms around Misha’s neck and hugged her, his heart pounding like a glass overflowing. My complicated thoughts flew away like smoke and my mind became clear as if it had been cleaned. Yes, it will work out somehow. Feeling a sourceless courage fill his heart, Cha Hyun became absorbed in the kiss with Misha.
