Heaven's Cloud
A night that touched my heart
The Han River is filled with city lights instead of stars in the night sky.
On the lawn next to it, on a carefully spread mat, were two cans of beer and freshly fried chicken.
The end of summer, with the wind blowing silently and the cool breeze cooling off.
It was a moment when all the conditions for a perfect outdoor picnic were met.
Seung-kwan was enjoying himself while drinking a can of beer, when he was startled by a butterfly that suddenly flew in and made a mistake.
승관
"Whoa! A bug!!"
The direction he turned his body with his troubled voice was exactly where the delay was.
At the same time, Jiyeon leaned forward and swatted the moth away with her hand.
The distance between them suddenly became closer. Her fingertips brushed against his shoulder, and their warm breaths mingled in the still night air.
It was such a brief, fleeting moment, but both of them dropped their bodies as if by instinct.
Awkward silence permeated the silence. But thankfully, Jiyeon gently filled the gap.
김지연
"Ah... um. This is the night view.
김지연
I've seen it often when I go out alone, but I think this is the first time I've seen it with someone."
At those words, Seungkwan smiled slightly and spoke with a face that had finally regained its composure.
승관
"Really? Then let's meet up often from now on."
Seungkwan picked up a chicken.
A crunchy sound came from inside her mouth, and Jiyeon, who was watching it, picked up her chopsticks, hesitated slightly, and took a bite.
김지연
"Wow! This is really delicious!"
An exclamation without exaggeration or calculation. Seungkwan looked at her with a smirk.
승관
"Cook, cook. Chicken is more common than the Han River. Do you know that Jiyeon's reactions are really transparent?"
Then, with a playful gesture, he lightly ruffled Jiyeon's hair.
김지연
"Ugh...!"
When Jiyeon looked up in embarrassment, their eyes met.
Something strange happened at that moment, and time slowed down again. Seungkwan, trying to keep his hand down naturally, coughed and averted his gaze.
승관
"Big. Ah, it's cool and nice. It's salty."
He changed the subject, handing me a can of beer and clinking it with his hand, but his cheeks somehow looked even redder, as if bathed in moonlight.
That was when.
김지연
"Huh? Wow, what is it!"
Jiyeon suddenly pointed to the sky, and when she looked up, a drone show was decorating the night sky.
Rainbow lights scattered like fireflies, followed by a spectacular fountain show.
But at that very moment, an unexpected stream of water from the fountain stretched out in front of the mat.
김지연
"Ugh!!"
They both stood up with a groan, but the water had already splashed out and their clothes were quite wet.
It was fortunate that I had almost finished eating, but the feeling of moisture on my clothes was definitely bothersome.
승관
"Ah~ At least I ate all my food, so that's a relief. Hehe, what is this?"
Seung-kwan smiled and shook off his clothes, and Ji-yeon followed suit, but her expression quickly turned gloomy.
승관
"Why? Is it because you feel very uncomfortable?"
Seung-kwan read her expression and asked, and Ji-yeon spoke carefully.
김지연
"...These are the clothes Seungkwan bought me...but they ended up like this..."
Seungkwan's heart sank at those words. He smiled indifferently and said,
승관
"It's okay. Just go and wash it. You're going to wear it anyway."
I tried to comfort her, but Jiyeon's expression still looked pitiful.
At that sight, Seungkwan smiled slightly and then took a deep breath before speaking.
승관
"It's late at night, it's time to go in."
The two people folded a mat over the cleared area, picked up the remaining trash, and walked quietly along the Han River again.
When we got home, we each went to our rooms, took off our wet clothes, and quickly finished showering.
After showering, Jiyeon emerged from her room in comfortable pajamas and carefully placed the dress Seungkwan had bought her in the laundry basket. Her fingertips hesitated.
The light streaming through the window quietly illuminated her face, and she carefully laid down her clothes and muttered something in a whisper.
김지연
"So pretty..."
That wasn't necessarily directed at clothes.
His heart. A warm heart that cares for you unconditionally.
All of that was making her not want to leave now.
