My Silver Star's

Conch Shell

Senior Jo slowly removed her soft lips from her kiss. Senior Jo's monolidic eyes, looking at me intently, focused my eyesight and attention on him. The murmuring of the waves that danced from earlier made me blush in shame. Senior Jo smiled, bringing his head closer to my head. Her pointed nose is now attached to my nose as well. The gusts of beach breeze in the cold autumn colored us who stood on the white sands of the beach.

Senior kissed me slowly, and now he hugged me. Her hug was so warm, so warm and close that it felt like I heard senior Jo's heartbeat. I don't want this moment to end, I don't want to part with senior Jo. My hope of continuing to be on Jo's senior side is just my wish. When it was time for us to part, just remembering it gave me goosebumps. I hugged Senior Jo tightly, very tightly.

"Bat!" Senior Jo's small scream surprised me. I let go of my tight embrace and looked at senior Jo.

"Is it too tight? My hug?" I asked senior Jo.

"It was so tight that my waist almost broke."

"G ... So yes ..." I said with a clear face, I feel guilty because my embrace was so tight.

"Aigoo~ I'm just kidding! How could your embrace break this strong waist of mine!"

Senior Jo carried me and approached towards the water. Senior Jo laughed in satisfaction whereas I held it tightly, I did not want to fall into the water. I hit little nosy senior Jo. After that he dropped me off and took me out of the beach area. Senior Jo stopped and turned towards me, then senior Jo gave a sweet kiss on my lips. I laughed because of his behavior, he also occasionally pulled out aegyo for me. Is this guy really senior Jo that cold? Correct ... He is a cold Jo Eunbyul, but it tastes sweet. Like my favorite vanilla ice cream.

"What time is it?" Ask her. Senior looked a little surprised, then looked at his watch. He sighed and looked at me with a smile.

"I don't want to go back ... But time is so cruel. It doesn't seem to give us a chance to linger here ..." He said with a sullen expression.

"Why not try seafood while we're here? After that we come back ... Yea?"

"I know a good restaurant near here, come on!"

Senior took me to a restaurant 100 meters from the beach we visited. So close, and luckily Goddess Fortuna sided with us. The restaurant we visited was still open even though the sky started to darken. A simple restaurant that is not so big, with wooden ornaments and vintage-style lights makes it even more comfortable.

"Welcome," a middle-aged woman greeted us both. She still looks beautiful at a young age.

"Annyeonghaseyo," said the senior to the woman.

"I think I know you."

"Yes ... I visit here sometimes, my name is Jo Eunbyul."

"Aigooo! It turns out Eunbyul-a ... You're getting older! It's been a long time since your last visit!"

"G ... Yes, you still remember me."

"You're a customer at this restaurant, where I may not remember you since you were a kid."

'since I was a kid? Senior Jo grew up in Gangwon?'s area?' my inner

"Ah yes! Introduce me to the beautiful woman next to you Eunbyul-a ..."

"Hello ... My name is Olivia Kim, nice to meet you."

"Aigoo~ is like you are from abroad yes ... Ah yes, come sit down! I'll prepare a special meal for you both."

"Thank you very much."

Senior Jo and I sat on an empty bench. The predominance of wood in this restaurant, makes the atmosphere in the restaurant warm despite the wind of the beach.

"Senior used to come here?" I asked senior Jo.

"When my grandfather used to invite me here."

"That's so ... You guys look familiar."

"Hmm so ... There's 2 hours left before we go back to Gangnam, where are we going to play?"

"I don't know very well Gangwon area, I just follow senior."

"G ... Wanna make it no?" Invite the senior while pointing towards the clam shell accessories that are on the reception desk.

"Can! Let's make it!"

"Later ... After we eat yes ..."

"I'm sorry I'm too excited hehehe."

A few minutes later, the restaurant owner ahjumma came up with a typical seafood dish. Quite a lot until senior Jo also helped her carry the dish. The delicious smell of the broth has tempted me to taste it.

"Please enjoy the food!"

"Thank you."

Senior started picking up a pretty big crab. I was surprised to see it, Daebak! So big! My stupid saliva couldn't hold back. Senior cut and opened the crab's body. He distributed it to me, and poured a little gravy. I'm really impatient, I'm sipping on the broth and ...

"Aaaahhhh! It's delicious!"

"Eat slowly ..."

I nodded and began to eat the crab that senior Jo shared. Senior Jo also started eating her food. It's fitting that senior Jo comes here often, the food is indeed a champion. It's a pity that in Gangnam there are no restaurants like this.

.....

After eating, the senior called the ahjumma. Ahjumma comes and hands over the payment bill to senior Jo. Senior Jo took it and looked at it, then he took out his black card to pay our food bill.

"Ah yes ... Ahjumma we want to make accessories before we go home."

"Can! I'll clean up your tables and give you the materials for the accessories."

"All right."

"Here are the ingredients, what do I want to teach you?"

"No need to ahjumma, I will teach my girlfriend how to make it" senior Jo told ahjumma with a smile.

I smiled embarrassed to hear it too. Senior Jo started giving me one shell. This shell motif is so beautiful, it still looks rough.

"What's the senior for?"

"To smooth some parts that are still sharp, such as this section. So as not to hurt us later."

"G ... I see, I'll clean it up."

Me and senior started cleaning their respective shells. Smoothing out the sharp parts, cleaning the inside as well.

"What is this senior?" I asked senior Jo while pointing at a container filled with clear liquid and a brush.

"It is a coating, so that the shell of this shell is durable and looks shiny."

"Just smear it?"

"Yes ... Here I help."

I gave my shell to senior Jo. Senior Jo started polishing slowly on my clam shell.

"Come ... Slowly."

"Okay, thank you senior."

"Sounds so formal hmm."

"I like to call you 'senior' over others."

Senior Jo instead pouted while applying the coating liquid to her clam shell.

"Arasseoyo Oppa."

Senior stopped his banishment and looked at me then said,

"Try repeating again, I didn't hear so clearly."

"If senior's ears are fine I shouldn't have to repeat my words."

"Gmh!"

I smile at him, the senior finish is done first. Then mine is finished. Senior put our clam shell tray on the outside table. The wind will make it dry quickly, after which we can bring the accessories home as memories.

It took a few minutes to make the shell completely dry. Senior Jo took back our clam shell tray. Ahjumma came with a box and put the shell into the box she was carrying.

"It's so pretty!" I said when I saw the shell.

"Really! These are the memories of both of you, so don't be eliminated. Arasseo?"

"Alright, ahjumma. Thank you very much!"

"We're going home, thanks ahjumma."

"Be careful on the way, stop by here often."

We left the restaurant and headed to the bus terminal. I brought a paper bag containing our shell box. Senior clasped my hand and we walked towards our bus. While looking at the number of the bus we boarded, I occasionally looked towards senior Jo. Senior Jo's stern jaw and her breathing from the cold weather made me unable to turn away.

"This is our bus. Let's go in!"

I still see senior Jo, I don't even remember what senior Jo said just now. Now that senior Jo is also looking at me, he smiles. How often do you smile when you are with me? I don't know ... Probably no longer counted.

"Vivi?"

"Huh? Sorry I'm a little dreamy, let's go in!"

I took senior Jo right into the bus and sat down on our bench. My face feels hot, it must be blushing right now. Ah I'm so embarrassed! What if I go home? What the hell's going on?

"Here I hold the paper bag, you must be tired. Just sleep ... The bus is leaving soon."

"I will accompany you while looking at the night view."

"Do you want me to kiss again?" Senior Jo asked in a whisper.

"What the fuck! Nay! Enough already!"

"Okay my dear."

Passengers had filled the seats on the bus, so the bus driver came and informed us of our departure. The bus started to slowly leave the terminal. The city lights decorate the night Gangwon-do. The smell of the sea carried by the wind accompanied the journey home. I leaned over to senior Jo and looked towards the window. It felt like he had just arrived at Gangwon, but was now on his way home. Short, short enough but memories created will last a long time. Very long to unforgettable ...

The light on your eyes

The sweet kiss of us

I'll be your Flashlight in the darkness

Bring back all of our memories
