Pick Up the Rejected Pure Love

I spent another fun day with Han-gyeol today.

It wasn’t like we went on a particularly special date, but everything feels special when Han-gyeol is around.

Everything feels new, and my heart flutters whenever I’m with him.

As expected, travel isn’t really about where or what you do, but more about who you share the time with.

After finishing our day, we stopped by a convenience store, bought a mat and a can of beer each, and sat by the beach.

We clinked our cans together, with the sound of the waves and the cool night breeze as our snacks.

“Han-gyeol, cheers~!”

“Cheers~!”

Even just clinking cans together feels so enjoyable.

“Yeah, and the night air feels great too.”

“I love it so much.”

I rested my head on Han-gyeol’s shoulder.

He gently leaned towards me, letting me rest more comfortably.

I love how naturally considerate he is.

“Later, when we have kids, I want to come back here and look at the sea again.”

“We’ll need a bigger mat than this convenience store one. It won’t be big enough.”

“Pffft—!”

I burst out laughing, spitting out a bit of beer at Han-gyeol’s unexpected reply.

“Oh, wow—what surprised you?”

“Pfft! It’s nothing! I just didn’t expect that answer, that’s all—!”

It was such a witty response.

What made it even funnier was the expression on Han-gyeol’s face, like, ‘Was that really funny?’

Without a word, he took out a tissue from his bag and gently wiped my mouth.

“Han-gyeol can be so unpredictable sometimes~”

“I just meant that this mat would be a tight fit for four people.”

“True. Since we’ll have six people, we really will need a huge mat~!”

“Just imagining us all huddled together, looking at the sea, sounds fun.”

“By then, we’ll be busy taking care of the kids, so we should stay close while we can~.”

I carefully laid my head on Han-gyeol’s lap.

“Is it okay if I lie on your lap?”

“You already are.”

“I mean, if it’s uncomfortable, I’ll get up~.”

“No, it’s fine. Just be careful not to spill the beer.”

“Yes, sir~.”

Looking up from this angle, Han-gyeol’s face is so handsome.

“Do you think we’ll have four kids in ten years?”

“Well, we’d need at least 40 months just for them to be in the womb. I guess we’d have to get married by the time we’re twenty-six.”

“Let’s have twins to speed up the process~!”

“Things don’t exactly work out just because you plan them like that~.”

“I’ll do my best~.”

“Why are you so cute~?”

Han-gyeol gently stroked my hair.

“If we really want four kids by the time we’re thirty, then we’d need to get married by twenty-six.”

“If you finish military service and graduate from college, you’ll be twenty-six, so we’ll need to start right away.”

“I’ll try to graduate early. The military… well, there’s no way to shorten that.”

Oh, right, the military.

We haven’t really talked about Han-gyeol’s service before.

“When are you planning to enlist? I don’t think I’ve ever asked.”

“Well~ I could go after the first semester, or after the first year. I’m thinking of joining the Air Force since I can take leave more often.”

“I heard the Air Force service is a bit longer, though. Is that true?”

What should I do when Han-gyeol is away for military service?

The thought that it was not too far off made me want to look at him even more.

“Yeah, but I’ll be able to take leave every six weeks, so it might be okay. What do you think, Eun-ha?”

I carefully placed my hand on his face.

“I can’t say something like, ‘This is the best decision,’ when I’m not the one going to the military. It’s not a decision to be taken lightly. As your girlfriend, all I can say is, ‘I’ll wait for you.’ So, don’t worry about me. You should do what you want.”

“Aren’t you worried you’ll feel lonely?”

I slowly sat up and looked into his eyes.

“Well… saying I won’t be lonely would be a lie. But it’s not just me who will feel lonely. You’ll be far lonelier and have a much harder time. Han-gyeol, I really love you. It’s hard to fully express how much, but you’re so precious to me. So, don’t worry about me. I love you so much.”

I hope my words gave him a bit of comfort.

“Alright~. I’ll think it over slowly.”

“Yeah. Don’t worry about me. I only have eyes for you. If you could become me for just one day, it would be great—I’d finally be able to show you just how much I love you. Should we just go ahead and file the marriage papers now?”

“Would that really be okay?”

“Of course~ My parents would probably approve too.”

“Wouldn’t they think we’re too young and rushing into things?”

“When we were working at my mom’s company, she told me to marry you. She kept saying I must never let you go~.”

“Your mom said that?”

“Yup!”

I nodded my head repeatedly.

“What was it again that you did back then, Han-gyeol? Was it the interest rate model? When you made that in Excel, my mom mentioned it in the meeting room. Not just her, my dad likes you too, and my brother… well, his feelings for you are almost religious. Honestly, the one who should be worried is me. Would they really give their precious son to someone like me so easily...?”

“My parents like you too, Eun-ha~.”

“Really? That's such a relief~.”

“Thank you, for saying that.”

“Oh, come on~ You’re thanking me for something so obvious?”

“Still, it makes me feel a bit more at ease.”

“I’m glad to hear that. Then we need to cuddle and be lovey-dovey more before you leave for the army~ Come here.”

I planted a soft kiss on Han-gyeol’s lips, and he smiled bashfully, then leaned in and kissed me back.

“Kissing while looking at the ocean is nice.”

“I like it too. I like everything about kissing you, Han-gyeol.”

“Should we head back in now?”

“Shall we? Let me help you up~.”

I quickly stood up and held out both hands to Han-gyeol.

As soon as he grabbed my hands, I pulled him up with all my strength.

“Let’s head back to the lodging~!”

“Yeah~.”

I just wanted to spend more time with him.

****

As soon as we got back to the lodging, we showered and lay sideways on the bed, gazing out the window.

“The ocean looks pretty from up here. And the moon is beautiful too.”

“You’re the prettiest, Eun-ha.”

“What~?”

I turned my head towards him and met his loving gaze.

“We’re talking about the ocean and the moon, but you’re just staring at me~?”

“Looking at you is a much better deal.”

“What? Come on, we’re on a trip, at least look at the ocean and the moon. They’re really pretty, you know?”

“I don’t want to miss out on this deal.”

“Then let ‘me’ enjoy the view for a change. Your side profile is really handsome.”

“You’re flattering me too much~.”

“Hurry up and turn your head to the window~.”

“Okay~.”

Han-gyeol smiled bashfully and turned his head towards the window.

I pressed my face into the bed and kept staring at his side profile.

I wanted to keep looking, but then his head turned back towards me.

“What’s this? Keep looking a bit more.”

“I’ve seen enough.”

“Really? You’ve seen everything?”

“Yeah.”

“Did you look thoroughly?”

“Yeah, I looked thoroughly.”

“Then tell me what you think~.”

“As expected, looking at you is a better deal.”

I lost this round.

“Fine. Look at me as much as you want~.”

“I already am.”

“Then tell me how you feel about looking at my face~.”

“Looking at the ocean and the moon is a waste.”

“Oh, come on~. Be more specific~.”

“Should I show you with my actions?”

“Do it!”

When I smiled brightly, Han-gyeol gave me a quick kiss on the cheek.

“That’s not enough~ Do it again.”

“Okay.”

At my words, Han-gyeol kissed me again.

“Now give me ten more.”

“Isn’t that too much?”

“Make it a hundred more~.”

“Let’s split it in half.”

“Deal~.”

I sat up and straddled Han-gyeol’s stomach.

Then, holding his face, I gave him a deep kiss on the cheek.

“There, one down~ Let me know if it’s not enough~.”

“Alright~.”

After saying that, I showered his face with kisses, and Han-gyeol grabbed my waist and pulled me back down onto the bed.

“At this rate, I’m going to get devoured.”

“I’m going to devour you.”

“You’re a wild beast today~.”

“But I love Han-gyeol the most~ Now it’s your turn. Hurry and kiss me too~.”

I grabbed onto his collar and tugged.

Han-gyeol flashed a quick smile and gave me a soft kiss on the cheek.

“That’s one~ Forty-nine more to go.”

Then he kissed my other cheek and finally my lips.

As soon as Han-gyeol’s lips touched mine, I immediately wrapped my arms around his neck, holding him close.

A short kiss became a deeper one, and when I slowly slipped my tongue in, Han-gyeol flinched in surprise.

“You came in fast.”

“Why are you pulling away? Come back quickly.”

“We’re not at fifty yet.”

“Let’s count the deep kiss as a bunch~.”

“Alright~.”

With that, Han-gyeol leaned back in and covered my lips with his.

When I slightly parted my lips, his tongue naturally found its way in.

“Mmm…”

Kissing Han-gyeol is always so sweet.

It makes me feel even more connected to him.

And the more we kiss, the stronger my desire to be closer to him grows.

I love him.

I love him so much.

I love him more than anyone else in this world.

Once again, my feelings for Han-gyeol grew even deeper today.
