22 : second time




These few days were really weird for both Jungwon and Hwayoung.

Now, therapy sessions were getting a little boring as the both of them felt them getting distant from each other.




"Uhm, Hwayoung, do you want to go anywhere?"
Jungwon tried his best to pick up a random conversation.

"Not really,"
Hwayoung replied and looked at the painting of herself that Jungwon drew outside the window.




"Then, can I suggest going somewhere today?"
Jungwon said.


"Where?"




"Cheonggyecheon Stream,"
Jungwon replied.





"Where is that-"



"You will know later then."
Jungwon smiled at her and he tried to wink.

But, he failed cutely.





Hwayoung tried to hold in her laughter and looked away when her face flushed red.










How can one possibly be this cute-

"Here we are. The sky has not turned dark yet. So let's go have dinner first." Jungwon held onto her hand tightly and brought her to a buffet at Top Cloud, a restaurant in Jongno Tower, a distinct triangular glass structure.



"Eat as much as you want. It's all on me."
Jungwon said and Hwayoung happily nodded.

The nicely platters and decorations made all the food look so appetising.

"It's dark already. Want to go see the-"

"The night view in a different dimension?" Hwayoung completed his sentence when she saw him holding out one of the heart refractive glasses.

"You got me,"
Jungwon smirked and passed the glasses to her.




"You don't have an extra one?"
Hwayoung asked him and he shook his head.

"I don't need one. I am already seeing hearts right now."
He looked at her.





That line kinda sucked-








Fuck, I shouldn't have said that-






"Huh?"
Hwayoung gave him a 'what the fuck' look and he just rolled his eyes away.


"I just forgot that you are dumb."
He scoffed and clicked his tongue in annoyance.

"Tsk! Whatever!"
Hwayoung swiped her hair back flawlessly like a bratty princess.












"Woah..."
Hwayoung gawked in shock at the magnificent view of the crystal-like stream.

The colourful pretty lights and fountains were so pretty too!

What made it even better was the refracting hearts that Hwayoung could see through the glasses Jungwon borrowed her.

There were also hundreds of uniquely designed lantern displays along the stream.

Each lantern illuminated softly amidst the night.

Every picture drawn in the lantern tells a special story that touches everyone's hearts.



"Isn't the Mid Autumn Festival already over? Why are they still putting up lanterns?" Hwayoung laughed as she admired the breathtaking view.








Her smile never left her face.








Jungwon let out a small chuckle before he replied, "No, of course not!"

"Every year, Cheonggyecheon Stream hosts the Seoul Lantern Festival. During this festival, visitors can find hundreds of uniquely designed lantern displays along the stream."
Jungwon explained.

"This time round, it's more special because they are playing some Korean songs in the background. Pretty nice right?" Jungwon heard Paradise by BTS playing.

"Of course! Wow... Can we go there and take a closer look?"
Hwayoung pointed at the lane that was closer to the stream and had colourful lights on it.

"Of course, as you wish!" Jungwon agreed.

"This place is just too beautiful..." Hwayoung stared at the stream in awe for almost the thousandth time.

"Wait- Are they playing dandelions?" Hwayoung gasped as her hand flew to her mouth.

"THEY ARE!"
She beamed excitedly and squealed like a little girl whose father was going to buy her most favourite doll.




Jungwon grinned at the sight of her.









His eyes never left her smile.







Hwayoung then decided to keep the heart refractive glasses as she would like to see the view in real life.







It would be so different in both ways...











"We should come here again later in this year."
Hwayoung said as she watched the water smoothly flow to the ground.

"Of course. And also, to the dandelion farm."
Jungwon remembered and turned his body to face Hwayoung.

"Oh right! I almost forgot about it."
Hwayoung followed suit out of instinct and turned to face him too.

At this instant, a little boy dashed past the both of them and continued running away.

"JIHOON! COME BACK!"
His mother screamed from behind as she tried to catch him back.

Unexpectedly, since there were quite a lot of people on the lighted platform, his mother accidentally bumped onto Hwayoung.

The force caused Hwayoung to fall forward and her lips fell onto Jungwon's.

The both of them just stared widely at each other as they watched each other's eyes in pure shock.

His eyes twinkled and hers sparkled.

They could hear people from the side cheering loudly and merrily.

Jungwon could feel her soft cold lips on his.

Jungwon then slowly started to admire her facial features.

Since when did she become so attractive...

On the other hand, Hwayoung felt his soft breaths panning onto her face.

Soon, Hwayoung then pulled away from the kiss and then finally let out her breath that she held in for a long time.



"It's our second time..."
Jungwon smirked and licked his lips a little.

"W-WHAT?!"
