Seungmin

At 18, you were both undergrads, often finding yourselves out late, dodging responsibilities for the thrill of just being together. One night, after a particularly exhausting day, you hopped into a taxi cab, Seungmin nervously fiddling with his jacket. His face was flushed, and his fingers were cold with sweat. You were heading to your dad’s place, and as you chatted in the backseat, Seungmin hesitantly mentioned, “Baby, think we’re moving too fast?”

Years later, at 25, life had evolved. Now, you and Seungmin shared laughs about work, bantered with your sister at dinner, and navigated the ups and downs of life. The boulevard where you once strolled under streetlights was now a place of cherished memories. You knew each other’s quirks, finishing each other’s sentences with ease.

One summer evening, after a small fight with Seungmin, you ended up dancing under the streetlights, laughing and crying together. Despite the ups and downs, you always returned to each other. The warmth of his touch and smile made every day feel like summer. You realized that the true magic of summer was the feeling of being together with him, making every moment feel timeless.

You whispered to Seungmin, “Every day is summertime with you.” And in that perfect summer night, you knew you’d fall in love again, just like you did every summertime.

Well, you were not wrong, but you didn't mention something. The something you both do every summer. You still remember the first time it happened:

The sun blazed brightly on the beach as you and Seungmin enjoyed a rare day off. Seungmin, nervously removing his shirt, revealed his toned physique but looked shy.

You approached him with a teasing grin. “Wow, Seungmin, who knew you were such a beach model?” you joked, trying to lighten the mood.

His cheeks flushed, and he tried to cover up, mumbling, “Stop it. I didn’t expect this today.”

Laughing gently, you took his arms out of his belly, “You look great, really! So great I could just...” your hand passed through his abs, drawing out a small whine from him.
