⋆. 𐙚 ˚ - During the summer, you and your best friend were going to the beach to spend time together. The two of you never hang out, but today was different. Both of you have not talked to each other since college, so this was almost like a reunion.

You always have known that Hyun-Ju was trans, but you never spoke on it. She was always getting bullied for it. You never had a problem with that. in fact, you secretly began to admire her. She was beautiful, a goddess. The way her hair sat at her shoulders and her bangs covering her forehead. Her look suited her.

During the middle of the summer, you decided to contact her. Hyun-Ju would always reply late, which was why you didn't text much.. very impatient. After sending her a message, requesting to spend time at the beach, she responds. Though, her replies were very.. bland. It took her a few days to accept the request, but soon, she would.

As the two of you make it to the beach, you all walk towards the beach. A blue two-piece swimsuit that was pretty revealing was what you had worn. Hyun-Ju decided to wear something less revealing. A black and red two-piece swimsuit. Her bottom was covered, dress-like and.. polite. Her hair made her into one.

While the two of you were at the beach, you started to head towards the water while she planted herself on the sand. You tried to convince her to come with you.. but the insecurity was taking over her.

"I'm fine, I promise. The sun is pretty nice over here!" Her tone was soft yet unsure. Her expression feigned comfortable. She sat politely with her legs crossed on her soft blue towel, gazing at you from afar.
