i have something to show you

those words rang repeatedly inside the head of the brown-haired girl, whom only is lost in thoughts of all the sudden scenario happening to her.

her eyes are stuck at the somehow beautiful window view outside. A sigh came out as she tries taking a peek at Hyunjin, who seem to be looking at her the whole time, which scared her.

and there he was, still looking.

she bravely confronts him, "umm.. is there something on me?" i murmured.

"uh... huh" it snapped him back to her, flustered on what to say next. "umm, nothing"

then the bus stops again, " we're here!" hyunjin squeaks, a hint of joy being heard in his voice.

As he then grabbed me by the hand and pulled me out of the bus. On the third step, despite the bright sunray disturbing my eyesight making me accidentally trip on my ankle, screaming in pain. But luckily somehow hyunjin managed to catch her into his arm.

They both laughed it off awkwardly as they pulled away from each other, raein was fighting with the pain, trying not to look obvious that it actually hurts.

after a few moments, "are you okay?" he suddenly asked, breaking the silence between them. Also, the anxiety boiling within him when she walks quite crookedly.

"uhh... It's nothing" raein exclaimed, pushing a forced smile to hide the pain when he actually knew that she was in pain.

"here, have a seat" he muttered out of blue, insisting her to sit on the bench. He then bends down on his knees, taking a look on her feet. At first, she hesitated but eventually let him take a look.

Her ankle was light purple colored, a bit bruised from the fall.

"wait here, I'll get some ice" he gestured, eyebrow creased as he left his bag beside her and ran off to find some ice.

"huh?" the confused girl only managed to mumble.

after witnessing the bruise with her own eyes, the question as to why it pains so much has finally been answered, moaning in pain.

At the corner of her eyes, she sees hyunjin speeding up towards her whilst holding a plastic bag in his grip.

"did you wait long?" he mumbled to her as he fiddled through the plastic bag.

rubbing her back nape, "uh not... really" she murmured, hesitating her words despite getting embarrassed thinking as if they were out on a date.

taking out an ice pack, hyunjin softly holds it to the bruise part to ease the swollen, getting some groans from raein at first.

"can you walk?" he sudden muttered, getting his attention back to her.

nodding, "i can manage myself" she responded, showing a soft smile, proud of being a big girl now.

he smiled back, standing from his knee " let's go" he gestured, reaching a hand out for her to stand and also being a gentleman he is.

"just tell me if it hurts more, I'll give you a ride"

with those words, have already given her butterflies, swooned by such actions. Taking his hand, smiling for having such guy by her side.

"wahh we're at namsan" raein squeals excited as she sees the namsan tower soaring tall. Eyes lit sparkles as they wander around.

"haven't been here before?" he spoke up, eyebrows raised with his hand inside his pocket. Distracting her sightseeing as they darts to hyunjin.

softly shooking, "no... It's just that it has been awhile" she replies, head hung low to the ground with a sense of sadness felt in her words.

"did they have these heart locks back then?" he uttered.

"huh?" she blurts out. "what heart lock?"

"these" he mumbled, taking her hand and pulling towards the ramps filled with thousands of colorful locks, looking like a rainbow with the various colors being hung.

"wahh" she mumbles, awing the colorful scene." this is definitely new... They're so pretty and sweet" a big smile appeared on her face.

"do you want one?" he suddenly huffed, getting the attention of the distracted girl. "the heart locks. Let's make one"

flipping her eyelids, "but they're for couples.. " she stops abit. "and y-you... like someone else" she murmured with a tone of sadness, her attention was on the ground and busy fiddling with her fingers as waiting for his reply.

he holds her shoulders firmly, getting a flinched from raein by the sudden touch, "i like you."

her face went pale, blank with the sudden situation, "b-bbut th-"

he cuts her words, "follow me"

gripping her arms tight and pulling her towards the elevator. The ride inside the lift was dead silence, awkward filled the room, especially after such sudden confession. Hence, their arms were fully gripped together, like glue, making raein heart pounds even more.

D-DDING!

the elevator rings as we arrived at the very top level of the tower, making her pound even more.

welcomed by the strong gust of wind as the elevator doors open wide, sending shivers through the vines.

As they get closer to the ramps with see-through glass below, raein halts her track as she shivers in fear, pulling hyunjin backward, startled.

"what's wrong?" he asks, worried with the look on raein's face, creasing.

"u-umm.."

"are you afraid of heights?" he huffed, getting a nod from her.

a smile appeared, "don't worry, hold my hand. I'll be here with you" he exclaimed softly, holding out his other hand, hoping it'll ease her fear.

she hesitated at first but slowly grips both of hyunjin's hand, trusting him with all her heart and also hoping it'd overcome her fears.

"just look at me …. and don't look down" he instructed, gesturing to him as their eyes are stuck to each others.

"here, hold the railings" he muttered, putting her hand on the railing but instead she grips his arm more.

a chuckle came "don't worry, I'll be behind you" he exclaimed. "you trust me, right"

she nods as she holds the railing tight, just like what he told her to.

as the wind continues to blow between her hair, touching the skin and giving a soft cold touch, she witnesses the beautiful sight of the town.

"its so beautiful.." raein exclaimed, squealing excited, which seems to overcome some of her fright of heights. But her legs were still shaking.

"you're more beautiful"
