The sound of the waves in their current vicinity could be heard, along with the cries of the seagulls.
The rise in Lee Hyun’s anxiety was directly proportional to the rise in Seoyoon's feeling of comfort.
As the greeting breeze blew, the day was becoming brighter.
They watched the sun rising over at the faraway horizon!
Suddenly, there was a gentle touch on Lee Hyun’s shoulder. It was the unable to win against the drowsiness Seoyoon's head leaning on it.
It was due to being the second day already that she could not sleep well, along with the fact that she was tired from the out of the norm alcoholic drinks.
And here it was, her trusted friend Lee Hyun, presented comfort from the built up tension and knocked her to sleep spontaneously.
Segeunsegeun.
Seoyoon's breathing rhythm sounded in Lee Hyun’s ear.
With each exhale, Lee Hyun could feel his own heart reacted to it as the beats increased in strain.
In this place, it was just Lee Hyun and Seoyoon.
Although the students were still sleeping on the sandy beach, they were at a distance away.
Moreover, Seoyoon had already drifted to dreamland in a seemingly drunken slumber due to the hearty drinks from the previous day.
In other words, it was an opportunity given by the heavens!
There was no other way but to say Seoyoon was defenseless in this state before Lee Hyun.
Lee Hyun’s eyes filled with murderous intentions.
‘You treat me like fodder, huh. And during my cold you jammed that food-to-kill porridge down my throat!’
It was a golden opportunity to take revenge.
As it seemed she was deeply in her doze, he could have picked her up and tossed her into the sea.
Holding grudges infinitely!
However, Lee Hyun’s mind soon wandered off from the thought. Though vengeance would be thrilling, he was afraid of the troubles to come in the future.
‘I don’t know how she will manage after I throw her into the sea!’
Still, in his internal rampage he paid careful attention to not wake up Seoyoon. Then a thought hit.
‘Let me adjust a bit to have you sleep more comfortably.’
Lee Hyun gently lifted up Seoyoon's head and placed it on his lap. After which, he observed Seoyoon's face in detail.
‘There’s gotta be an ugly corner somewhere.’
He still had not given up on his childish revenge.
The first time Lee Hyun saw Seoyoon's face was in the instructor’s cabin.
But because he noticed the ‘murderer’ mark during that event that he did not examined her beauty in more detail.
Nevertheless, a fragment of Seoyoon's face remained in his mind that he went to sculpt the Statue of Freya.
The image he had at that time was indeed beautiful.
But he did not know that the beauty exceeded what he had imagined.
The second meeting where he saw her was on the Plains of Despair, where her loveliness shone even more.
Then, during the times they risked their lives in the northern parts, he took peeks at her in his spare time.
But with each and every time he saw her, she continuously exuded attractiveness.
It wasn’t because Seoyoon was increasingly becoming more and more beautiful.
She was already beautiful from the beginning. It was because the more closely he got to look at her face, the more beauty he saw in her.
Eyes, nose, eyebrows, forehead, chin and lips.
There was no way to totaled up her features.
While wondering how dreadfully beautiful something was, a new attraction came into play whenever he took a look.
No matter how long he stared at her face, he could not get tired from the sight. With each and every sight to admire, he had no choice but to look!
Lee Hyun wanted to find flaws in Seoyoon's face.
He leaned in so close that he can feel each of her breath, a rare chance to do so since she was still sleeping.
‘Skin. Well, it’s perfect. Not one crease and I can’t even see a single pore. How can human skin have such milk like quality? Facial feature. Great. It’s the perfect golden ratio of placements if I was sculpturing. Long eyebrows…how does her hair even have such orderly placements?’
Trying to find any facial flaw in her, even if it was just a tiny ugly part in her, did not work out.
‘Fine, I admit the face is too good. What about other places…’
Lee Hyun’s eyes ran downward. He could roughly make out the figure through the dress. And here still, he could not find a fault.
Tall and slender, her body was also good.
