Chapter 8 (1/1)

" Isn't beautiful here? " Himchan asked while he was leaning on the Yeojwacheon bridge, looking down at the river and the blooming flowers. It was already midnight, and after a tour around we had decided to go at the bridge. My family was back home and as i could tell they liked Himchan a lot." Yeah...everything is beautiful " I huffed and looked away from him. There was something i had to tell him but i couldn't. All the day, that thought was torturing him. How could i tell him that i had to leave tomorrow? I was planing to stay here for a week and then leave. But i hadn't told Himchan that. Since i met him, i was hanging out with him the whole week, we were somehow close. If i leave and go back to Seoul,maybe we will just talk to the phone. After all ,he was working at the military and i was an undergratuate student of photography who was soon going to have the degree. Seoul was an enormous city, i don't think that i would see him again. And that made me sad."Daehyun, is everything alright? " He turned to look at my direction. "You look upset the whole time. Tell me" I felt his hand touching gently my cheek and that made me to look at him. "I am good...it is just that..." I took a deep breath. "I have to leave tomorrow. " I standed still, waiting for his reaction. "L-Leave? I don't understand..."" I have to go back to Seoul. You know that i can't stay here for a long time. " Himchan's expression changed dramatically. I couldn't understand how he was feeling, but i was sure that he was quite astonished. " I understand...you have to go,to finish your college..but... don't worry i will come to Seoul too. Maybe we could see each other." "See each others?" I turned to look away. " I don't think so Himchan. You have to go to the military when you get well and we don't even live close and- " Suddenly, i felt Himchan's presence closer to me and his good hand was slowly cupping my face. "I promise you that i will not let you just like that. I don't want to lose you. Look at me Daehyun." He pressed his hand a little harder at my cheeks and i raised my glance to look at him. " I just found you Daehyun...you.. you are very special to me...i can't lose you, do you understand that? " Himchan leaned closer to me while i was feeling my heart beating a little faster. It was the first time that Himchan was that close to me and i really liked that. " I understand but...i had to go. After all,we can talk to the phone... that's what friends do right?" I shrugged my shoulders not knowing what should i say or do." Friends...yeah...Daehyun,listen,i am not going to let you just like that. I...i...love you."  Himchan, suddenly, leaned a little closer at me and locked his lips with mine. My knees were shaking as i was feeling his lips pressing mine and his hand holdind me tight like he was denying to let me go. It was like i had lost my mind, his kiss was soft and gentle but at the same time it made me feel like i had butterflies all over my stomach. He leaned back, looking at my eyes, probably waiting fon an answer. It seemed that he thought that i would reject him because he was looking at me worrying. But of course i wouldn't. Οn the contrary, i hugged him by his waist pulling myself closer to him and i kissed him back. I didn't know what i was doing, i was drifted by the moment..Himchan, pleased, accepted my kiss and touch his forehead on top of mine. "I will never let you go. I promise. "       And that's how everything started...
