As soon as Hinari's lips landed softly on his forehead, Zaki felt as though his heart stopped. He felt like her lips were soft feathers touching his skin. It was as if there were warm lights of genuine and sincere emotions flowing from it and yet it was making his heart twist so fiercely.
Zaki felt like there was something caught in his throat and he couldn't utter a sound. The impact of the kiss was stronger than all the kisses he received from her before, making him feel like he couldn't breathe.
When Hinari finally let go, she smiled at him. Zaki was in a daze as he kept his eyes on her. They both gazed deeply at each other without words but then, suddenly, the car slowly halted.
This made Hinari turn her head and when she saw that they were already at the beach, her eyes widened.
"Ohh… I think we have arrived! Beauty! We're here!" she said excitedly and she jumped off Zaki in a flash.
She stepped out of the car and stood at the road side. She could see the vast and beautiful beach below and she couldn't help but feel excited. The next moment, she suddenly ran down the road towards the beach. She ran until she was at the water's edge. She then flicked off her shoes and dug her feet into the sand. She closed her eyes as she listened to the water, as she felt the breeze on her face and the cool water on her feet. She breathed in the beach smell and just stood there with her hair dancing in the wind, taking in the clear blue skies, the endless clear blue water and the pure white sand.
Meanwhile, back inside the car, Ryou was completely puzzled. He watched Zaki acting like a stone statue and he didn't know whether saying something would startle him or not.
Gladly, he decided not to do anything. It was because he felt that there was something strange about Zaki at that moment and he didn't want to do anything that could ruin his mood since he knew this was the first time he was going out with a girl. He thought that Zaki might be in deep thought about something very important. Wait… could it be that he was thinking about asking her to marry him now?!
Ryou's lips slowly curved into a grin and he turned towards Zaki. However, just as he was about to ask mischievously, the dazed man moved and…
He suddenly pounded his head on the back of Ryou's seat. The impact was so strong that Ryou was startled. His eyes could only widen in confusion. Err… what was going on? That must have hurt him, right? What the hell is happening to this man?!
When Ryou was about to say something, the man suddenly stepped out of the car and closed the door with a loud bang, shocking him once again. What the hell!!! Was he mad?! Why?! I can't tell what's going on with him anymore!
Zaki leaned on the car and he breathed in deeply.
After a moment, Hinari came back. She was panting when she reached Zaki.
"Beauty… I almost forgot you. Haha!" she said and she immediately held Zaki's hand. She pulled him and they both walked towards the beach.
When they nearly reached the water, Hinari stopped.
"Okay! Time to strip!" she yelled and Zaki looked at her with big, round eyes. Of course, Hinari saw his reaction and she giggled. Pfft!! What's with his surprised look?
"Okay, beauty, you strip first. I wanna see my lovely 8 pack once again!" She said as cupped her hands. She looked exactly like a fangirl pleading her godly idol to show his abs. But…
"I think I will keep my clothes on." Zaki replied and Hinari immediately puffed her cheeks.
Zaki already dressed for the beach before they hopped in the car so there was no need for him to get changed anymore. He was wearing short pants and a blue Hawaiian polo shirt. His look was exactly the look of a perfect beach hunk, if only… he wasn't wearing those hello kitty sunglasses. Did my beauty forget that he was wearing the sunglasses? Pfft! He's a cute hunk… now all that's needed are the abs to complete the look!
"C'mon beauty. Can't you show it please? Just remove your undershirt." She pleaded, looking at him with her puppy eyes.
Zaki looked at her for a moment and then he sighed before he gave in.
The man began to strip and Hinari was ecstatic. She was so happy that Zaki was just so obedient today.
"Yey!!" she yelled as Zaki removed his undershirt. His delicious 8 pack appeared before her and Hinari's eyes twinkled. She was looking at Zaki's abs as if they were covered with shimmering and glimmering gold and diamonds. Hinari felt like she was in cloud nine… how could she not feel like this seeing this delicious man before her?
However, it wasn't even a minute yet since Zaki stripped when a few girls that were unwinding on the beach started swooning over him.
"Ohh my goshh!! Look at those 8 packs!! Oh my gosh!! I'm going to faint!"
"That's right, that's right! I'm literally drooling!"
"Who is he? A superstar? Ahh… god, what's with that perfect body? I think my eyes are being ruined!"
When Hinari saw the girls fantasizing over her beauty, her brows creased and her expression darkened. She then picked up Zaki's blue polo shirt and she glared sharply at the girls looking at him.
"Beauty, I changed my mind. Wear this." She said as she put the polo on him, confusing the oblivious man.
"Huh? Didn't you just ask me to strip?"
"I said I changed my mind. I can't possibly let other girls fantasize over my man! Those abs are mine and mine alone! No one is allowed to see your body but me, you understand?"
"…"
