THE BEACH HAD FEWER PEOPLE THAN THE DAY BEFORE,

and that was only possible because of Nike's advertisement shoot and watching Sae act only made Y/N laugh as she sat on a sun lounger under a large umbrella and sipped on orange juice. It wasn't that he was acting bad instead it was the type of personality he was portraying that made her laugh. 

"Cut!" The director said and everyone broke out of their characters and walked over under the several beach umbrellas to cool themselves. "Shouldn't you be ready with water and stuff to help me?" Sae asked as he walked over to her and she shrugged "Who said I don't have water for you?" She pointed at the ice container and he sighed as he took out a water bottle. 

"They said that we need to do one more take. I hate this so much" He complained and poured water over himself. "SAE WHAT THE FUCK!" Y/N cursed and it didn't take him long to realise the reason behind her sudden outburst. His drenched hair and ruined makeup were a far cry from the look the stylists had carefully crafted for the shoot.

Water dripped from his body as he stood there thinking about what to do and Y/N sighed while standing up on her feet. "How can you be so absent-minded?" She questioned and handed him a towel before walking over to the stylist and asking them to fix Sae's hair and makeup again and understanding the urgency, the stylist readily agreed to rectify the situation.

As Sae wiped the water from his face, he couldn't help but feel grateful for Y/N's support. Her ability to handle unexpected situations with composure and her unwavering dedication to his well-being amazed him. And he couldn't help but imagine what the situation would've been like if it was Girolain with him, he would've panicked over the situation and made it far worse than what it already was. 

With his appearance restored, Sae expressed his gratitude to the stylist and returned to the scene to do one last take. Y/N looked at the screen, observing the shot but soon her attention switched to the other side of the beach where a bunch of people were playing beach volleyball and she was so engrossed in watching them that she didn't even realise that the crew was packing up and the shoot was over. 

"I am so tired, I'll be going back to the room ok?" Sae said but his words gained no response from his manager. He followed her gaze and saw the volleyball match that didn't catch his attention like it did with Y/N's. He tapped her shoulder lightly and called out for her ones again to gain her attention "Y/N! I am going to the room, ok?" 

Y/N snapped out of her trance, finally tearing her gaze away from the beach volleyball match. She turned to face Sae, a slightly sheepish expression on her face. "Oh, sorry," she apologized, realizing she had lost track of time. "Yes, of course, you can head back to the room. Take a rest." She said in a hurry and waved him goodbye before heading towards the people playing the game. 

Her actions left him a bit confused because it felt as if she was waiting for the shoot to be done quickly and that made him change his mind. He grabbed his shirt and wore it before following her footsteps.  As he approached the group of people playing, he noticed Y/N standing at the sidelines, her eyes shining with excitement as she watched the players dive, spike, and set the ball with incredible skill and once the game was done, she removed her sandles and approached them. 

"Do you mind if I join the next game?" Y/N asked the players with a hopeful smile. They glanced at each other, surprised by her sudden request, but quickly welcomed her with open arms.

"Sure, we'd love to have you!" one of the players replied, handing her the volleyball. "We'll be starting the next game soon. You can join our team." Y/N's face lit up with excitement as she joined the group, taking her position on the sandy court. Sae sat down on one of the chairs and decided to watch from the sidelines. 

The match began and it was Y/N who was going to start the set with her serve. She threw the ball up and jumped to spike it all the way over to the other court... but it landed outside the court, giving the point to the other team. The players chuckled and clapped for her "The serve was good but the wind fucked it out" They said, reassuring that it wasn't her fault. 

Y/N couldn't help but feel a bit embarrassed by her initial serve, but the encouragement from the other players put her at ease and she laughed along with them. 

"Beach volleyball is different... hm"  She thought and took her position awaiting the serve from the other team that came right towards her that was received by her very gracefully and the ball went right in the range of the setter. 

The setter set the ball and Y/N took the leap, spiking it right through the blockers and gaining the point back. "That was awesome!!" The players clapped and she looked at them with determination in her eyes "Just leave it to me!" 

As the game progressed, Y/N made the most perfect spikes and serves and the game was completely dominated by her team. 

The match progressed, and Y/N's team maintained their lead, thanks in large part to her contributions. The other players marveled at her skills, praising her for her agility and quick reflexes. They formed a bond as they communicated and strategized during each play, growing more and more impressed by Y/N's abilities with every passing point.

Sae, watching from the sidelines, couldn't help but be captivated by Y/N's display of talent and determination. He had no idea about her skills in volleyball. Seeing her embrace the game and thrive on the court filled him with a sense of pride and awe.

Finally, the winning point was secured, and the players erupted in cheers and celebration. Y/N was engulfed in a joyful embrace by her teammates. She had not only proven her worth on the court but had also forged new friendships through their shared love of the game. "You should definitely play with us more!!" 

And thus they continued to play till evening and the team that had Y/N tasted victory every time. Y/N's team gathered their belongings and bid each other farewell. They exchanged contact information, promising to meet again for more matches in the future. Y/N noticed Sae sitting on the chair and walked over to him "I thought you were going to the room?" She asked. 

"I was but seeing you being so interested in playing volleyball, made me want to watch the match."

"Ooo~ So..? I was good right?" 

Sae scoffed and stood up, directing his legs towards the resort "Look at you boasting yourself" 

"I know I am good, so why not"

The two went back to their room and since they were still staying in the same one, she decided to let him use the washroom first while she waited. As Sae entered the washroom, Y/N gazed out of the window, taking in the view outside. The sun was beginning to set, casting a warm golden glow over the beach. She could still feel the excitement and energy from the volleyball game pulsating within her.

But knowing the fact that Sae watched the whole game made her wonder what he thought about it. Even if she won't ask him about it directly and not that it mattered what he thinks... she still wanted to know. 

Moments later, Sae emerged from the washroom, his hair damp from the shower and only having a towel wrapped around his waist. "You can use it now," He said and Y/N turned around to face him, her eyes lingering on his towel-clad form for a moment before. It wasn't her first time seeing him shirtless but she could feel her face heating up and her heart beating faster, maybe because unlike the previous times where they had many people surrounding them, it was only those two in the room. 

Y/N quickly averted her gaze, feeling a mix of embarrassment and attraction. She cleared her throat and threw a towel at him "Don't walk out like that!" she managed to say, her voice slightly shaky. She hurriedly walked past Sae towards the bathroom, trying to compose herself.

As Y/N entered the bathroom, she closed the door behind her and leaned against it, taking a deep breath to steady her racing heartbeat. She splashed some cold water on her face, hoping it would cool down her flushed cheeks. She couldn't help but replay the scene in her mind, the way Sae stood there with only a towel around his waist, his sculpted physique on display.

"What the fuck is wrong with me!" she whispered to herself, feeling a mix of confusion and excitement and figuring out her emotions Sae ended up adding fuel to her feelings. 

"What happened? Stop lusting over me!" 

"SHUT UP!!"

Watch me ruin all of their development really soon 👹👹

Anyways

I hope you enjoyed it <333
