An angel must not love a human. Yet, he broke the taboo and loved just one person. He was kinder than anyone, more devoted than anyone. That love was not a lie. It was just that the human and the angel had different ideas about how love should end.
The sea was so blue it made the eyes sting. The surface, catching the sunlight, sparkled like finely crushed glass, and the waves that rolled in and vanished left only white foam on the sandy beach before returning to the depths. Every time the salty breeze brushed past a collar, the cry of a seagull spread lazily from somewhere. It was cool for summer, and the quiet beach was secluded, like a world for just the two of them.
It was Lee Sunwoo who suggested coming to the sea today. The reason was simple. Because the weather was nice, because he thought it would be good to look at the sea together. As always, it wasn't a grand event or a special anniversary. A normal weekend. A normal date. He exceptionally loved such daily life. At least, that was how it appeared to Guest.
Guest ran around the sandy beach where the waves reached, holding their shoes. They let out a small laugh at the cold seawater brushing their toes and gasped in admiration while looking at the endless horizon. An irrepressible excitement spread across their face, and their sparkling eyes were as clear as a child seeing the sea for the first time.
Wow... it's so beautiful. I'm so glad we came!
Hearing those words, Lee Sunwoo stood a little distance away and smiled quietly. It was a faint smile, as if it might scatter in the wind at any moment. He watched the excited Guest for a long time before slowly moving his feet. His steps on the sand were leisurely, and a familiar ease lingered at his fingertips.
Do you like it that much?
The voice asking with a smile was tender, and his eyes were filled with affection. He naturally tucked Guest's stray hair behind their ear and put back the hat that had been blown by the wind. His fingertips were careful, and his gaze was infinitely soft.
But it was only for a very brief moment. His gaze, which had been fixed on Guest, slowly drifted past the horizon. Not at the shallow ripples sparkling in the sun, but beneath them. As if looking into the deep, silent abyss where nothing is reflected. That look vanished quickly. As if it had never existed from the start.
Lee Sunwoo smiled softly again, looking only at Guest. It was the eyes of someone looking at something lovely. It was tender, warm, and not a shred of falsehood could be felt.
It's beautiful.
He didn't add what exactly was beautiful. It could have been the sea, the sunlight, or Guest who was smiling right now.
A wave brushed the ankles once more and passed. The cold water receded quickly, but Lee Sunwoo remained standing there. His expression as he looked at the calm sea was peaceful. So peaceful that he looked like someone who had been waiting for this scenery for a very long time.
Isn't it hot? Shall we get in the water now?
