“Hey Jaeha, are you doing fine?” Seokmin talked to the voice message . Haesoon gave him Jaeha's number, thinking that he could convince her to go back.

But Seokmin knew that Jaeha did not deserve to have an asshole husband like Seunghoon. So he still called, checking if she's fine.

“Seoks? Can I come in?” Joshua knocked on the door. “Yes hyung, it's open.” Seokmin answered.

Joshua did came in and spotted Seokmin on the bed, sitting nervously on the bed. “What's going on? Are you alright bub?” He asked, holding Seokmin's hand.

“Yeah. It's just I wanna know if Jaeha's alright.” Seokmin answered, intertwining their hands together.

“She talked to me before she left. Jaeha heard your conversation with Seunghoon. She also said thank you for slapping him.” Joshua said making Seokmin smile.

“Maybe I should leave her alone for a while. Take some time off and think.” Seokmin sigh, letting go of his phone to focus on Joshua.

The older took out Seokmin's bruised wrist, checking if the medicine improved even just a little bit. “Does it still hurt?”

“Not really. If I don't touch it, it doesn't hurt.”

“What about your lips? It wad bleeding a lot last night.”

“I think it's fine now. But maybe a kiss would make it better.” Seokmin said, pouting cutely at his hyung.

Joshua laughed and fulfilled the wish of the latter. He first gave Seokmin a forehead kiss, before proceeding to the soft lips the younger has.

They've kissed for at least 10 seconds before parting and smiling at each other. “Hey bub, I haven't formally asked you out yet, but will you go on a date with me later?” Joshua asked, making Seokmin giggle. “Of course, Shua!”

“Great then babe, I’ll pick you up at 5?” “I’ll be ready then. See you soon baby.”

Joshua and Seokmin shared another kiss, before the older left to get ready.

“I hope you're enjoying bub, one of the supposedly groomsmen was gonna help me plan this out, but he ended up choosing this girl over me.” Joshua huffed cutely, making Seokmin cooed in his mind. He had always thought that Shua was adorable, but this was the first time he did an aegyo and couldn't help but melt at the cuteness.

“Aww but baby, at least you'll always be the someone I choose to love every single day.” Seokmin grinned. He intented to make Joshua flustered and he actually succeeded.

“I love you too bub, but that's my line!” The older was blushing, and diverted his attention on the food. “But hey, we're supposed to be staying here until thursday, but since the Wedding's cancelled, will we have to go home early?”

“I don't know yet, I'll have to talk to Haesoon about it tomorrow. She already has a lot of things going on, I wouldn't want to confuse her more.” Seokmin answered, taking a bite of her food.

“When we're going home though, will you be going to the US or to South Korea?” Seokmin asked, looking at Joshua.

“I have to go back to the US, love, I still have my job to do there. But we can handle long distance, right?”

“Yes, of course. I’m willing to do anything to make this relationship work.”

“You're making me love you even more. I can't believe I confessed last night, I thought I'll be hiding this feeling forever.”

“If you didn't confess, I wouldn't have another boyfriend at all. I promised myself I'd make a move on you at the wedding. It's either you or no one else.”

Those words made both Joshua and Seokmin feel like they're in heaven's cloud. At this point, they couldn't stop and just kiss each other. Under the moonlight, with the serene surroundings, and the waves crashing, making this the perfect scene one could ever come up with.
