Fics like out of his mouth a red, red rose

Three years on, where they’re a little more mature and a little less defensive, exes Jake and Sunghoon are forced to deal with whatever residual feelings they have for each other. “How do you know exactly when to catch a wave?” Sunghoon finds himself asking once he arrives back to the refuge that is the beach. “You catch it at the right timing,” Jake grins, bending down to unclip the leg leash around Sunghoon’s ankle. The words are seemingly innocuous and yet, it holds something. Maybe. Sunghoon perhaps wants it to be. “And when’s the time to do that?” Sunghoon presses on, feeling a little lightheaded. He blames it on the adrenaline rush as an aftermath of surfing out in the water, the waves rolling over them before breaking into white-water. “By intuition,” Jake answers as he stands back up. He reaches out to retrieve his surfboard back and their hands touch, grazing Sunghoon’s fingertips. Their eyes meet and Sunghoon’s breath hitches when Jake says, “you’ll know it when it’s the right time.”
