Chapter 48: Chapter 48
βNuri's P.O.V.β
"Good Morning."
I woke up to a soft male whisper. Opening my eyes, I noticed a handsome face. His face looked puffy and innocent. I rubbed my eyes in confusion.
"Am I dreaming?"
But soon, I felt a pair of soft lips on mine. My eyes widened, and my mind went blank. I blinked a couple of times as his fingertips trailed my cheek slowly. Finally, I remembered I was not single anymore. I had the perfect Boyfriend, handsome, Tall, Adorable, and understanding.
Finally, Daniel moved away. And sunlight glowed on his skin. He looked like my dream. I extended my hand to touch him, confirming if I was that lucky to have him as mine.
As soon as my fingertips touched Daniel's face, he smiled.
"What ?"
"Just confirming if you're real or not. " I said.
"Didn't you realise it when I placed my Good Morning kiss on your lips?" Daniel smiled again.
"I did, but I needed a Confirmation about if I am so lucky to have a man in my life like you."
Daniel blushed, "Enough sweet talk. Let's get ready. We are going out."
"To where?" I asked, being confused.
"Miss India, I hope you did not come here to find a boyfriend." Daniel chuckled, "Let's go and visit some places today before returning."
I blinked, glancing at him with my puffy eyes. Daniel stepped down from the bed and moved to his bag. After taking his clothes, Daniel turned to go to the washroom. But suddenly, he stopped and glanced back at me.
"Hmm? Do you need anything?" I asked, thinking he forgot to take something.
Daniel walked back to me and stood beside the bed for a second before leaning close to me. He placed a kiss on my forehead then said, "You look beautiful with messy hair. Forgot to tell you."
And with that, Daniel made his way back to the bathroom again. My cheeks flushed red.
"Oh Gosh!" I hid my face with my palms as I heard the bathroom door locking sound from the inside.

After taking a shower and dressing up, we went to grab a quick breakfast from a nearby restaurant. As we ate our food, I kept staring at Daniel because he was wearing the same colored shirt as me again.
"Ahem." I cleared my throat, glancing at Daniel.
"Hmm?" Daniel answered while chewing his food.
"Weren't you wearing a green shirt? Why did you change it to black?"
Daniel looked down at his shirt and then said, "I like black."
"Liar." I scoffed as I looked down at my Black blouse and blue faded jeans. Daniel was wearing blue denim.
"Daniel, you didn't bring your blue faded jeans?" I asked casually.
"I didn't see you, packing your blue fad----" Daniel stopped in the middle as he realised what he just said.
I burst out laughing at his cuteness. Daniel blushed and concentrated on his food again.

After finishing our breakfast, we took a bus to go to Yongmeori Coast. We got off at Sanbangsan and walked for a few minutes to reach there.
The Yongmeori coast is located at the foot of Sanbangsan Mountain, streching to the shore. It is called the Yongmeori Coast because it resembles the head of a dragon going into the sea.
After a 10 minutes walk from the bus stop, we saw the cliff entrance of Yongmeori coast with a ticket booth beside it. The way down to Yongmeori Coast was very slippery. The place reminded me of Manjanggul Lava Tube. There were no handrails available even.
Along the sandstone floor, women divers who are called Haenyeo were selling seafood in the costal area.
The scenery was beautiful along the way. The rocks amused me with their different colors and how wonderfully they were shaped by the waves in between.
After turning around the coast we climbed up the Sanbangsan Mountain. As we looked down, the rock resembled a dragon, without a head and back.
"Do you know about the legend of the yongmeori coast and the dragon shaped rock?" Daniel asked.
I shook my head, signaling no.
"According to the legend, Emperor Jin of China sent his men here to kill the Dragon of Yongmeori Coast.
The Emperor was worried that an even powerful leader would emerge from Yongmeori since the dragon was considered a sign of "a great leader is born."
As the dragon sneaked into the sea, the soldiers cut off its head, and blood spurted extensively. The upset spirit of Hallasan and the spirit sent a typhoon to kill all the Chinese soldiers for revenge." Daniel explained.
"Woah. This story is quite impressive." I said, being excited by hearing the story.
We stayed for the sunset, leaning there looking out to the Emerald ocean.

After finishing visiting Yongmeori coast, Daniel and I came back to our hotel and packed our bags to return to Seoul again.
Our flight time was 8:40 pm. So we decided to have dinner and chill until we needed to leave for the airport. Though, our hotel resided close to the airport.
As we ate our food, we chatted.
"Your tour is almost over.
So? What have you planned next?" Daniel asked casually.
"Returning to India and joining the office again. " I replied casually.
"I asked about us!"
I coughed, "Eh..what ?"
"Didn't you say you love me? How are we going to continue our relationship?" Daniel asked with serious eyes.
"Right now, let's stay in a long-distance relationship," I said.
"What??" Daniel let out a scream.
The people inside the restaurant started staring at us.
"Daniel! People are staring at us?" I whispered.
Daniel crossed his arms over his chest and made an annoyed face.
"Nuri, Are you even serious about our relationship?" Daniel's tone was cold.
"I am," I replied.
"Then how can you talk about staying in a long-distance relationship? I can't live without you for a single day! And I mean it!" Daniel said as his tone started getting rude.
"Daniel, calm down. We just got into a relationship yesterday. Give our relationship some time!"
"Nuri, That's the problem. We don't have time. You're going back to India in a couple of days. And how are we going to talk about it? Over the phone?" Daniel frowned.
I couldn't reply to him. Daniel wasn't trying to understand that he was scaring me more than making me feel happy.
"You know what Daniel? Let's not talk about it right now." I shut him up with that sentence of mine. I knew it was rude. I knew I made Daniel upset. But I needed some space which was entirely invaded by Daniel without my permission.
