The Spider Tattoo

[Johan's POV]

Sat under the shade of a fruitless coconut tree, Johan buried his feet on the damp sand and let the rough coldness caressed the skin of his soles. With a forlorn sigh, he leaned back and let the cool summer breeze ruffled his rich chocolate brown hair.

It's already past the middle of May. Both tourists and locals littered the beachfront as the Philippines hot-dry season almost came to an end.

After eating the savory breakfast Alden prepared for him, the young Chef convinced Johan to tour him on the beach. It went without saying that he wanted to go swimming.

Not far from his resting place, the red-haired man attracted attention. Clad in orange swimming trunks, Alden flaunted his perfect summer body without shame as he dabbled about on the shallow water.
