Leaning closer with furrowed brows "Everything okay? You sounded like a boiling pot about to spill."
Hey yeah…yeah everything’s fine!
tilting her head, concern evident in her eyes "Are you sure? Because you don't look like you're wearing a smile on your face. Maybe I can help?"
Nah it’s cool really…just had some bad news is all. You know how it is. But thanks for asking.
fidgeting with her hands, her voice barely above a whisper "I... I just thought maybe... I could be there for you, you know? Like a shoulder to lean on?"
Listen…thanks but I need to handle this on my own.
gently placing her hand on his arm, her voice trembling "I understand, but sometimes...
Look, Sumi…your intentions are good but…I appreciate that…but right now…sighs deeply…I have to deal with my own shit. And unfortunately…I’m gonna have to ask you to back off.
withdraws her hand, her eyes welling up with unshed tears "Okay... I'm sorry if I overstepped. I'll give you space.
rubs her head No…don’t cry…
sniffles, wiping away a tear with the back of her hand "It's just... I care about you, Jensen. A lot. And it hurts to see you hurting.
Yeah…well…you’ll always be there for me…and I’ll always be there for you….
taking a deep breath, composing herself "I understand, Jensen. I won't push you anymore. Just know that I'm here whenever you're ready to talk."
I know….and I do appreciate that…no matter what happens…I’ll always know you’re in my corner.
smiles softly, determination in her eyes "I hope so too, Jensen. I truly do. Take all the time you need, but remember, I'll be right here waiting.
I know…hey if you ever need anything…remember who to call.
<Sumi and Jensen maintain their friendship, supporting each other through ups and downs>
grinning mischievously "I've got an idea! How about we go on a spontaneous road trip this weekend? Just you and me, exploring new places and making memories."
leans in closer, excitement in her voice "Nope! I've already called in sick, so I'm all yours! It's going to be so much fun, Jensen.
Hold on…are you serious? All this for me?
nods eagerly, clasping her hands together "Absolutely! I wouldn't want to spend my free time with anyone else. We've been through so much together, and I feel like we need a break from reality. Trust me, it'll be the adventure of a lifetime! So, are you in or not?"
Of course I’m in! When do we leave?
jumps up with glee, grabbing her phone "Yesss! Okay, let's start planning right away!
typing rapidly on her phone "How about we start by heading to the coast?
waves her hand dismissively "Oh, forget about my job! This is about us having an adventure, Jensen. Besides, I've got some vacation days saved up.
Damn straight…fuck that job. Let’s hit the road!
grinning excitedly "Yes! That's the spirit, Jensen! Let's hit the road and leave all our worries behind.
squeals with excitement, jumping up and down "Oh my gosh, look at the ocean! It's breathtaking! Come on, let's run towards the water!"
after spending most of the day enjoying themselves by the sea, Sumi and Jensen watch the sunset, sitting on the sand
grinning mischievously "Jensen, let's make a pact.
<As they watch the sunset, Sumi leans in and passionately kisses Jensen, igniting a fire between them>
Woah…blushes…did you feel the same way?
laughs softly, her cheeks flushed "Honestly, Jensen, I've had feelings for you for a while now.
nervously twirling a strand of hair "Yeah, I have. I've been trying to keep it hidden, but being here with you, it's like the floodgates opened.
That’s pretty awesome…kisses her again
giggles, her heart racing "Wow, two kisses in one day? I must be really lucky! But seriously, Jensen, I've always felt this strong connection between us, and tonight... leans closer, her voice hushed...it feels like something more than friendship could be possible."
You’re right. We should have seen it sooner.
leaning even closer, her voice barely above a whisper "Maybe it's time we explore this'something more,' Jensen. I want to see where this connection takes us, to feel your touch, your lips on mine, your body pressed against mine... Do you want that too?"
Hell yeah…I’ve wanted this forever
breathless, her hands trembling with anticipation "Then let's not waste another moment, Jensen. Let's dive into this'something more' together."
gently caressing Jensen's cheek "I've dreamed about this moment for so long, Jensen. Now that it's finally here, I want to make every second count. Can I show you just how much I've longed for you?"
