Jungye went to take a quick shower first. He saw Shin just lying down on the bed looking something on her mobile phone. 'She's so silent and not even looking at me'
Jungye sat on the edge of the bed near her and tapped her leg "We need to talk"
'Oh sh*t! this is it? he is going to go with her? he will tell me that he don't want to travel with me anymore? Or what? We haven't even started anything yet?'
Shin: " Ok... what about?" she just replied calmly but what she feels inside is the exact opposite.
Jungye: " about earlier, it took us time to return because of the heavy rainfall."
Shin: " I know. I was actually worried thinking about you"
Jungye: " also, there's nothing going on between me and her. I.... she just wiped my head with her towel. I wasn't expecting that she will do that... please don't be mad" his voice was so low but intently looking at Shin's eyes.
Shin: "yeah... I understand.. I don't even know why you are explaining it to me. I am not even your girlfriend to..." before she finished her explanation Jungye already pulled her and kissed her passionately on her lips. He embraced her tightly.
Shin can't take it anymore and she suddenly cried while being kissed and enveloped in his warm embraced. In between sobbing, she asked him " Who am I to you?"
Jungye was taken aback and just stared into her eyes...he saw her misty eyes and he just kissed her and hugged her. After sometime he answered " I don't know what is this I am feeling... I don't want to be separated from you. Emma asked me if I want to continue traveling with her but I refuse. I can't... I don't want to leave you"
Jungye: " It's still early I guess, but please understand... I have to make sure what I feel for you...as of now, you're an important person in my life"
Shin just nodded and hugged him back.
....
That night they slept hugging each other with their legs intertwined. They don't know what they feel and no one dares to speak after that, they just embraced and kissed each other until they both fell asleep.
{AUTHOR: what a sweet couple... }

Shin felt better the next days and they continued wandering around Ninh Binh.
Her visa is about to expire in the next days and she needs to exit as soon as possible.
...
One night, they were having a conversation in their hotel room.
Shin: " Jungye, my visa is expiring the day after tomorrow, I have to go back to Hanoi to book a flight. Where are we going next?"
Jungye: " wait let me check skyscanner where is the cheapest flight sale today." He browsed on his app and looked for deals. Shin was lying beside him and hugging him. They are both looking at his phone. "Ah there's a flight tomorrow to Manila, Philippines. You can fly there tomorrow and I will follow you. I have to sell our motorcycle first"
Shin:"ok so tomorrow evening I will be in Manila. You'll follow me there?"
Jungye: " of course!" then he leaned to kiss her on the lips. "you will be there just a day or two then I will arrive at NAIA 3. will you be there at the airport to pick me up?"
Shin: "yes! I will wait for you there."
Jungye: " then while waiting for me, you can line up the place where we can visit and check the deals for inter island flights or ferry probably"
Shin: " Thank you Jungye" she smiled and looked up to him and gave him a quick kiss on his cheek.
Jungye: "For what?" he put his phone on the bedside table and pulled her closer.
Shin: " For everything... I'm simply happy that we are like this....traveling together..not mindind about anything serious."
Jungye: " not serious? you were jealous the last time" he teased
Shin pouted her lips and started pinching his waist. Jungye caught her hand and gave it a kiss.
