"you're a bad drinker you know." He said still looking at me. I nodded avoiding to look at him. I didn't tell him that its the first time. He took out his phone and started playing the games. I was so bored. I took out my phone and browsed for dramas streaming online. I kept the volume mute since there are subtitles so that it does not disturb him with the sound. I chose Third Charm and began watching it. "Am bored. Tell me the story, I will watch too." I jumped again in surprise hearing him say. 'should I let him watch a drama. I don't think so but how can I avoid him. it's ok.' I thought.

"it's the beginning, you can watch it," I said and unmuted the audio. He moved closer to me and sat watching the drama with me. I corrected my fringes and took a quick glance at him. He seemed to too much into the drama than me. I wanted to smile but held back half the way. With a half awkward smiling face, I looked back in the screen. " it's getting cold" He said and took the blanket and covered it around us moving a closer and I sat there as lightning struck me alive. I didn't even breath afraid of making a movement. "He looks good like me doesn't he?" Mr. H asked. "Yeah," I said back and only then it struck me again. "No" I shouted. He turned his head looking at me with a question on his face? "he doesn't look good?" I smiled shyly "yes" I don't look good huh?" he asked again. "No," I said. 'ok maybe that was a bit harsh I mean you look better but' I thought "yes. No. Honestly." in the end I exhaled. "Yea you look okay. Good" I told him finally. He laughed. "has anyone told you look pretty when you are troubled?" and my heart skipped a couple of beats together and fast. I took the wine to avoid the talk and gulped it down totally feeling drunk. We continued back to watching drama and laughed loud in Seo Kang Joon's hilarious scenes. But watching drama together seems like a mistake as the episode reaches to the end. 'no, no' I thought. I couldn't stop it either but, since he was so much into it. 'and there it goes. Oh my god noo.' I thought my heart fluttering and pounding loud all together. Esom Leaned down to kiss Kang Joon in between curling his normal looking hair after their date. The air around was totally awkward. I looked up and so did he. And the episode ended with a song. "is there another episode to this?" he asked and I nodded as the drama showed titles "Maybe we should stop watching it". He spoke softly. "yea," I said and looked at his face which was only inches away from mine. "I guess we both are in the same sinking ship," he said to change the topic. I nodded again. "Maybe we should find a way to run away or do what they say." As he said, I could hear dad's voice ringing in the distance asking me to stop what am doing. I shook it off and told him "I'm not sure, let's see. It's easy to give up, but.." I stopped and shrugged. the sound of the waves echoing inside the empty lighthouse.
