The afternoon sun painted the sky in soft gold as we walked barefoot along the shoreline. The waves gently kissed our feet, leaving cool trails of foam behind. Vermillion's Dohoon and Altefiore's Minji, we found a quiet spot and spread out our blanket, the salty breeze carrying the sound of seagulls above us.

You opened the basket and handed me a drink while I set out the snacks. Between bites, we laughed at the way the waves kept trying to sneak closer, as if they wanted to join our picnic.

Later, we sat side by side, watching the horizon where the sun slowly melted into the ocean. The colors shifted from orange to pink to a deep, calm purple. I remember thinking that the view was beautiful but somehow, sitting there with you made it even better.
