Then she pulled away from him.It was odd because they were the only couple on the beach, no human figure was there. Not even Bruce and Benny, his dogs.

He took a step backwards like I was carrying a variation of plagues. On that day, he wasn't in a good mood. Earlier before he had left, he kept pacing back and forth out of frustration, and forking his fingers through his hair repeatedly, as he repeatedly dialed a number on his phone, and slammed it against his ear impatiently.I could still remember what had happened on the previous evening when he had took me out on a date."You know what, Jinsu. Let's order for pizza and wine." I had told him, not raising my head from the menu book. I knew he liked me using his middle name. That was the main reason I had even used it.
