You're on your last school trip before graduation.

Due to being in the middle of autumn, no one else in your class is even remotely interested in standing by the beach.

It's cold out, but your face couldn't be any hotter. Why?

Because Malik is standing beside you, admiring the sunset.

Beside you.

And alone together.

Trying to be nonchalant, you lift your camera up to your face to take a picture of the view. But before you could— you suddenly feel something soft gently press against your cheek.

It was Malik.

Malik kissed you.

Shit. Your knees go weak and you immediately topple over like a drenched leaf. To add insult to injury; the shutter accidentally goes off, capturing your disgrace.

Your collapse was so sudden that Malik only had time to catch your camera, leaving you completely embarrassed on the sand.

Malik blinks in suprise for a moment before amusement flickers through his eyes and a light laugh leaves his lips.

"Are... Are you okay..?"

No.

But you shouldn't admit that.

You should push yourself up, damn it. Brush off the sand and laugh it off.

But unfortunately for you, collapsing wasn't even the worst part.

No.

The worst part was when Malik reached down to try helping you up—

And you just start running.

So fucking embarrassing.
