1 Chapter 1

It was an ordinary day, Moonbyul and Solar went out in the morning to their favorite café. When they arrived, Solar spotted a golden retriever. She nudge Moonbyul's arm and showed her aegyo (cuteness). There was no need for her to utter a single word for Moonbyul to understand what she wanted. Moonbyul smiled and nodded to show her approval. Solar's face lit up with a bright smile as she darted off toward the dog. Moonbyul went to the table they usually sat at and ordered a cup of latte for herself. As for Solar she ordered what she knew Solar would love best, tea. After the waiter took her order, she turned her attention toward Solar, who was down the street merrily petting the golden retriever.

She thought the sight of it was the most beautiful thing in the world. The love of her life, smiling happily, simply seeing that made her heart fluttered with joy. Moonbyul checked the time on her watch after the waiter brought out their coffee and tea. She realized Solar had been playing with the dog for quite some times now. She got up and headed toward Solar, who was in her happy little world. Once she got there she squatted down next to Solar and held her hand. She lean in closer and whispered into Solar's ear.

"Our drinks are ready my love."

Solar turned over to Moonbyul and slightly blushed at the sweet voice that tickled her ear like music. She hit Moonbyul's shoulder and spoke softly.

"That's unfair," she pouted, "you know how I get when you whisper into my ear."

Moonbyul laughed at Solar's adorable face.

"I'm going to take revenge on you," Solar whispered softly.

"Hmm?" Moonbyul looked at Solar curiously.

"Nothing," Solar spoke with a devilish smile.

When they stood up, Solar lost her balance and Moonbyul quickly caught her.

"Are you all right?" Moonbyul asked while scanning Solar.

"Yeah, my legs are just a bit numb." Solar answered as she rubbed her thigh. "I'll be alright," she continued toward the café.

Moonbyul pulled her back and lifted her up in the air.

"What are you doing?" Solar exclaimed.

"What do you think? Carrying you. I can't let milady walk in that condition. So stay still or we'll both fall."

Solar wrapped her arms around Moonbyul, and gently guide Moonbyul's face toward her before giving her a sweet kiss.

"Hmm, you're such a naughty girl," Moonbyul said nonchalantly.

"You think so?" Solar's smiled and rested her head on Moonbyul's shoulder.

"But the kiss could've been better," Moonbyul said jokingly.

Solar was baffled by the comment. She slapped Moonbyul's shoulder, and began squirming about. They almost fell in the process.

"Hey. Hey. I was only kidding. It was a joke, a joke!" Moonbyul said apologetically.

Solar was still pouting when they reached the café. She even grumbled while they were drinking their beverages. Moonbyul kept apologizing but Solar pretended she couldn't hear anything, although Moonbyul could see that a smile was forming at the corner of Solar's lips.

"I know exactly what you need," Moonbyul proclaimed. "I'll be right back."

Solar was still pretending not to care when Moonbyul left, even though she couldn't stopped herself from staring in Moonbyul's direction. Moonbyul went into the nearby candy store and came out with a box of mint chocolates. It was the same as the first present Moonbyul gave her when they started dating. Ever since then Solar would eat some when she wasn't happy. However, she would only eat it if Moonbyul was the one who bought it.

That was why every time Moonbyul did something mean and Solar pretended to ignore her, she would go buy a box of mint chocolates for Solar. She wanted to see Solar's bright smile when she presented the gift.

When Moonbyul went into the candy store, the owner, a middle age woman, looked at her and said.

"Again? What did you do this time?"

Moonbyul laughed loudly and asked, "do you see me that often?"

"Yes I do, actually," the owner responded without hesitation. "You're in here almost every week. I don't mind it. Good for business. But it seems like you're always making your girl angry."

"Ah~ It's nothing serious. Having some of your special mint chocolates would cheer her up in no time."

"You know my mint chocolates is nothing special. What special is the person giving it to her. That's why she loves it so much. Still the same as before then?"

"Yes ma'am, and in a heart shape box like always please," Moonbyul winked and smiled.

The owner waved her off and proceeded to prepare her chocolates. It took about a minute or two before it was finished and wrapped. Moonbyul paid for it and thanked the owner before she headed back to Solar. On her way back, she saw Solar being forcefully pulled away. She dropped the box of chocolates and rushed over.

She got there in time and gave the guy a kick, which knocked him to the ground. It was the waiter who took her order earlier. He got up threw a punch at her, she easily dodged it and punched him in the throat, knocking him down once more. He rolled on the ground, clenched his throat and coughed heavily. It didn't seem like he was getting back up anytime soon so she proceeded to check on Solar.

"Are you okay? Are you hurt?" She examined Solar from head to toe.

"I'm fine. Are you hurt?" Solar also check to see if Moonbyul was hurt.

Moonbyul took Solar in her arms and tightly hugged her. "Thank god you're okay." She whispered.

Just then another man ran toward them with a wooden plank in his hand, he was also wearing a waiter uniform. Solar was facing away from him so she didn't see him coming. Moonbyul pulled her out of harms way and raised her arm to mitigate the blow. However, it was a little too late, the blow managed to hit her head and her arm was now broken because of it. The blood flowed from her wound and blurred her vision. She used the last ounce of her energy to kick the man away. He was ready to charge once more when he noticed a policeman heading their way. He grabbed his buddy and ran.

Solar rushed over to Moonbyul, who was still standing at the time. However, the moment Solar touched her, she collapsed. Solar managed to catch Moonbyul before she hit the ground but didn't have the strength to support her. Solar was calling out to Moonbyul as tears gushed down her face, but Moonbyul wasn't responding. She pressed her hand against Moonbyul's head, trying her best to stop the bleeding, but the blood seeped through her fingers. Moonbyul laid motionless in Solar's arms as they waited for the ambulance to arrive.
