The sky was really blue that day, and the ocean was loud enough to drown every thought in my head. But somehow all i could focus on was him. Sveic’s Gyuvin sat on the sand, collecting tiny shells with one hand while drawing in the sand with the other. He made little symbols, •○• next to a small :) and pointed at them with the sweetest grin.

“Ini kamu, ini aku,” he said, like it was the most important thing ever. I couldn't help laughing, and the only thing that came out was, “Lucu banget, sih.”

I, Ghislaine’s Sungchan, pretended the water wasn’t freezing while he watched from the shore. I kept turning around just to make sure he was still looking, and he always was. Nothing big happened, just sunlight on his hair, pockets full of shells, and footprints the tide kept erasing, like the world was resetting itself around us.

Somewhere in that quiet, i realized this is what peace feels like. It sounds like his laughter mixing with the waves and feels like a soft kind of forever. A simple day, perfectly ours.

found this tiny girl and decided we’re besties now. she has no say in it.

Gw tuh kadang suka mikir, knp Tuhan nyiptain gw seganteng ini? Maksud gw, ini udah bukan level ganteng standar manusia biasa lagi, ini udah masuk ke ranah mitos. Kalo ada kompetisi “ganteng nasional,” gw sih daftarnya langsung lewat jalur undangan. Gw jalan dikit aja, kaca spion motor liatin gw. Jendela mobil tiba-tiba ngembun sendiri saking terpesonanya. Bahkan CCTV minimarket pun suka zoom-in waktu gw lewat. Gw ngaca, yg gw liat bukan cermin, tapi harapan umat manusia. Gw senyum, bukan buat gaya, tp buat ngasih cahaya buat dunia. Gw lewat depan cewek-cewek? Auto pura-pura jatuhin sesuatu biar bisa nengok ke gw dua kali. Gw duduk diem aja, tiba-tiba ada notifikasi: “Kamu terlalu ganteng untuk berada di tempat umum.” Kadang gw mikir, knp orang-orang panik kalo deket gw? Ternyata karena aura kegantengan gw bikin mereka ngerasa insecure. Dan jujur, gw ngerti. Ganteng itu bukan cuma muka, bro. Tapi attitude, style, vibe, semua nyatu jadi satu paket bernama: Gw. Gak semua orang bisa punya itu.
