The preparations for the beach trip were well underway.

Mom checked the location of the hotel she had booked, and we looked up the transportation we'd use to get there and any nearby attractions.

Seeing their concerns, my parents occasionally asked if everything was being prepared properly. Every time my brother or his girlfriend Yoonjung saw me, they would bring up the trip.

Especially since it was just the two of us going, my sister made a big fuss. She'd occasionally chat for hours, insisting that we should all meet up once we returned.

We planned to depart the day after the end-of-term ceremony. As the day approached, my feelings were a mix of anxiety, anticipation, and excitement.

How could I not feel this way?

If it were just a day trip, it would be like an extension of our regular dates. The mere thought of spending a night, in the same room, with my girlfriend had my heart racing.

Such thoughts were so persistent that they began to disrupt my daily life.

Still, time moved on, amidst all this.

"Han Yeonho... You're not yourself today."

"This guy has been acting strange for days."

"Ugh."

"What the hell are you thinking?"

During gym class, I zoned out while playing basketball and ended up getting an earful from Kim Suhwang and a few others.

"Hey."

"What?"

"Take this."

"What's this... Whoa! Are you out of your mind?"

"They might have them at the hotel, but the ones they provide aren't that great."

"I won't! I said I won't!"

My elder brother slyly handed me a contraceptive, which led to a burst of choice words from me.

"Jeongwoo, are you okay?"

"Yoonjung noona..."

"Why are you being stingy with Yeonho? You should be giving him number 1!"

"Oh, come on!"

I couldn't help but curse at my sister for her nonsense.

Being the youngest, my elder brother, despite our age difference, always looked out for me. Still, giving me a condom was crossing a line.

Isn't it weird for brothers to discuss this? My elder brother must be very peculiar. My younger brother wouldn't talk about this.

Sometimes, he seemed to regard me not as a sibling, but as his own child.

"Have fun on your trip."

"Yes."

"I've deposited some extra allowance into your account. Spend it wisely."

"Dad...!!"

"Buy some delicious food for your sister."

"Ugh, Dad, always with your sudden generous moments."

After enduring my dad's teasing, the day of our trip was just around the corner.

I barely paid attention to the tedious end-of-term ceremony. Even our homeroom teacher coolly told us, "Have a good vacation and stay out of trouble. I don’t want to see any of you at the police station." before swiftly exiting the classroom.

As the entire class erupted in cheer, I hurriedly packed my bag in excitement. I tucked away my report card, showing moderate improvement in most subjects and a significant leap in math, into my pocket.

"When I see that guy smirking, I feel like smacking him. You like that?"

"It seems like Han Yeonho has been out of it since last week. Seriously, I'm so jealous."

"Hey, are you going out tomorrow and coming back the day after? Come to the PC café on Friday. Let's chat."

Jung Yoonsung listened to the ramblings of losers with a smile, none of whom had girlfriends.

"Wait! I'll be back soon!"

"Are you climbing the stairs of adulthood?"

"Damn, don't join in with that nonsense."

It's like everyone has some naughty devil in their head, always making comments like these. Well, it's expected when you spend the night with your girlfriend.

"When will you hang out with us?"

"With you guys? Where?"

"Did everyone hear this jerk? He thinks of his friends as nothing!"

"Calm down, crazy guy. The beach? If you want to go, plan it. I might join if it's reasonable."

Going out to play isn't a big deal; as long as I don't spend all my money. But can we all match our schedules?

"But there are guys who have supplementary classes, right? Like Lee Hyunwoo and Shin Uihyun?"

Our school, compared to others, only provides summer supplementary lessons for applicants. Not many participate, but those serious about studying usually do.

Especially since it's organized by the school teachers, attending well can help for the mid-term exams in the next semester. It's all for better grades.

"That's right. Don't even think about leaving us behind, jerks."

"You'll take us too, right?"

"Stop being sentimental. Next week? We should be able to match our schedules in a few days."

I ended up making the decision even after telling them to plan. If someone can't come, we'll leave without them.

Afterwards, I parted ways with my friends. They're likely heading straight to the PC café, while I plan to check a few things for tomorrow.

They say the preparation for events or trips is often more fun than the actual event. But that doesn't apply to me.

The excitement felt at every moment makes even this time fun. However, the joy of spending time alone with my girlfriend can't be any less than this.

[ Heena: I'm going shopping with mom. I'll call you later! (Emoji of a puppy blowing a kiss) ]

[ Han Yeonho: Okay, have fun! (Emoji of a cat shouting it loves it) ]

[ Heena: I love you too??!!! ]

I checked the message Heena sent earlier and headed home.

Heena has always been expressive about her feelings, but it feels like it's becoming more intense.

The more physical intimacy there is, the more direct it seems to become. Even if she seems to restrain herself, it's still quite intense.

I also tried to gradually become comfortable expressing myself, not as much as Heena, but consistently. Saying things like "I love you" or "You're pretty" was somewhat embarrassing, but seeing how my girlfriend goes to such lengths, I felt less shy about it.

Undergoing these changes wasn't so bad. Changing oneself because of someone else can be scary, but on the other hand, it felt thrilling to be so influenced by that person.

As the days went by, I felt it more deeply.

The feeling of love.

On the day of the trip.

Although the excitement kept me awake, thankfully, I didn't oversleep. As soon as I woke up, I quickly prepared to depart, changing into the outfit I had set out the night before.

When I stepped into the living room, everyone seemed even more excited than I was.

Usually, our household mornings are quiet, with everyone but mom asleep if there's no school, work, or part-time job. But today, my family eagerly discussed and checked the contents of our bags, ensuring nothing was forgotten.

It felt a bit over-the-top. After all, we'd only be away for one night. A quick online search revealed we'd be staying at a pretty decent hotel, so we could use their toiletries.

In the end, the essentials packed in my bag were a change of clothes, swimwear, lotion, sunscreen, and sandals for the beach.

"Are you sure you're not taking this?"

"Put that away before you break a finger!"

"Jeez..."

I chuckled at my older brother who couldn't let go of his joke about the contraception. After mentally reviewing the items and hotel reservations, I grabbed my sports bag.

Wearing light blue jeans, a loose-fitting white tee, a black hat, and the stylish glasses I had recently bought, I did a final check in the mirror before putting on my shoes.

"I'll be off then!"

"Drive safely and have fun!"

Leaving behind the family, minus my younger brother who was in the military, I stepped out.

The moment I left the house, my steps felt light, as if I was floating.

I took a bus towards Heena's house. We planned to meet nearby and then take the train to catch the KTX.

Initially, I thought of taking an intercity bus straight there, but Heena seemed averse to long bus rides. To get to Sokcho, even if we took the KTX, we'd still need to take a bus from Gangneung for about an hour. Still, she seemed to prefer this route.

I also wasn't keen on a near four-hour bus ride due to potential motion sickness, so we agreed on this plan.

Soon after disembarking the bus, I spotted Heena in the distance near the bus stop.

She wore matching light blue jeans and a white tee, topped with a slightly awkward black hat. It looked as if she wasn't used to wearing hats, which made her look even cuter. Behind her stood a small suitcase.

I approached her with a smile.

"Have you been waiting long? It's quite warm out, isn't it?"

"I just got here as well."

Even if she had been waiting for a while, she wouldn't admit it. Similarly, even if she had arrived early, she'd say she just got there. It was our usual friendly banter.

"But you brought a lot. I didn't expect you to bring a suitcase."

"Just a few clothes. And this is super convenient to drag around!"

"Ah, it does look handy."

With the retractable handle and wheels, it definitely seemed like a practical choice, especially if carrying a heavy load. Had it been a backpack, I would have offered to carry it for her.

"You came out wearing glasses?"

"Yeah, think they go with the outfit?"

"Perfectly! Oh, let's take a picture first!"

"Sure~"

They immediately leaned in and captured a selfie in the bright sunlight. Having taken so many photos over time, their poses now came naturally.

As soon as the photo was taken, they both checked it and burst into laughter. The picture wasn't particularly funny, but it still brought smiles to their faces.

After a hearty laugh, a hand was extended towards Heena.

She gently responded, intertwining her fingers with the offered hand. Together, they continued walking at a leisurely pace.
