After two long hours, Mirae and James reached the beach. By the time, they reached, the sun had gone back home, and the sky was now dark with just a crescent moon and few stars shining in the sky.
Wrapping the coat over her body, Mirae felt the cool breeze which rushed up to her due to the oncoming wave. She liked it as the water drenched her gown from mid-calf. It felt calm and soothing. When her eyes landed on the person standing beside her, Mirae couldn't help but smile.
She really wanted to do something like this with the man of her life, but she was doing it with a person whom she had just met thrice.
Nevertheless, she was enjoying it.
After getting a little soaked from below, Mirae walked to an empty place and sat on the sand.
"Aren't you worried that you would spoil your dress, Miss Mirae?" James asked while keeping his hands inside his pocket, trying to observe the way Mirae had just sat.
Mirae shrugged her shoulders and patted on the sand beside her. "It is just sand, Mr. James, it goes when you wash it. So, just sit along." She patted again and James let out a small chuckle and sat beside her.
He called J and told him to bring the beer cans.
As soon as the cans arrived, Mirae took a beer can and opened it. A hissing sound came from the can, and she took a sip. "Ahhh! That feels so good." She asserted with joy and took another sip.
"You also drink, Mr. James." Mirae opened another can and passed it to James. He took the can in his hand and took a sip. "Mhmm! This is nice." James complimented as he felt the cold beer touch his throat.
"Isn't it? That's what I like about drinking at a beach, Mr. James." Mirae said while looking at the waves splashing the water. It felt calm and serene to enjoy the beach with a drink.
****
Almost fifteen minutes later, Mirae stretched out her hand to take another can when James caught hold of her hand. "I think you drank a lot, Miss Mirae."
In this drunken state, Mirae had already talked about her feelings towards Yeonjun to James. She was so hurt from everything that she couldn't control her mouth and blabbered everything to him.
While she kept on saying Yeonjun this, Yeonjun that, James tightly crumpled the tin can in his hand out of anger. He was so angry to know that Mirae had feelings towards Yeonjun and that she was crying for him. As Mirae began to take another tin can, he stopped her from taking and said with a stern tone.
To which Mirae shrugged her hand from his hold and took the last tin can from the pack. She opened it and took a sip. "F*ck! I really can't forget that scene. He was kissing her. The time I wanted to spend with him, he was spending with Jenny... I never was in a relationship only for him and he got married to someone else. Why did he had to do that..."
Taking another sip, Mirae looked up at the sky and screamed loudly "Why did you marry her, Yeonjun? Was I not good..."
As James heard all this, he became annoyed. He snatched the can from Mirae's hand and that's when Mirae looked down at him. With an annoyed look over her face, she asked "Hey! Why did you take...."
But before she could complete her sentence, James took a big sip of beer and kissed her. As he pushed his tongue inside her mouth aggressively, the alcohol passed down the corner of Mirae's mouth.
Mirae who was now angry and puffing on her first love's marriage couldn't help but feel good with the sudden kiss. She wrapped her hands around James's neck and pulled him close. As the waves splashed and made an enticing sound, Mirae felt herself lost in this kiss.
It was her first kiss, but she didn't know that it would feel this good.
James liked how her beer flavored lips felt like. He really wanted to kiss them, and he was now able to kiss them. Her mouth was warm, and he liked it.
Soon, James broke the kiss with a contented smile on his face.
With this kiss, he was able to taste Mirae lips and shut her up from blabbering about Yeonjun. It felt like he caught two birds with one stone.
Mirae touched her lips which were now having James's taste on them. She didn't know how to react or what to say. Her drunken behavior had just vanished, and she didn't know what to do.
"Let's get you home now. It is already half past ten." James said while standing up from his place. He took the empty cans in a polythene bag and stretched out his other hand towards Mirae.
Mirae arched a brow at him, and he said "Time to take you home, Miss Mirae. Let's just go."
Mirae held his hand and stood up. She cleaned her gown, took her sandals in one hand and held James's hand with the empty one. James smiled as he felt her cold hand in his hold. A smile came over his lips as he tried to intertwine his fingers with hers.
"Please get in, Sir! Please get in, Miss!" Driver J opened the door for the two and helped them inside. He was really surprised to see his master smiling and holding some woman's hand. It was a rare and wonderful sight to see.
"Where shall we head now, Sir?"
Upon hearing his driver's question, James looked at Mirae and asked her "Tell your address, my driver will drop you there." Mirae quickly shook her head and said while pouting "I would like to visit your house, Mr. James."
Didn't know what got caught into Eun Mirae right now but she was very determined to go to his house.
'If I can't be with him, I will atleast spend my time with him for a little longer.' She thought in her mind and gave a nod when James asked again.
Getting a nod from her, James giggled and smirked "Make sure you won't regret it later on, Miss Mirae!" James advised her and instructed his driver to drive back to his home.
