Chapter 135: Extra Story of Key and Rika 6

Ch. 135 / 164 Sep 17, 2024

Rika took the camera and entered the room. She called room service and ordered dinner from the hotel. Because she also got a little tired to go out. Key takes a shower and helps Rika prepare dinner afterward.

They shared a room with two beds. The two have decided that they won't let anything happen until they get married. Key is a shy guy when it comes to love, so Rika feels assured he won't go overboard. Furthermore, Key doesn't want to embarrass her, or else her brother will take care of him.

Key came out of the bathroom. He wore a scarf around his waist and he was shirtless. Rika saw on his brother's shoulder a pale red birthmark, shaped like a half-moon. She asked. "What is this?" She pointed to the birthmark on Key's shoulder.

"I do not know. Since I was born, I have had it." Key sat down on the bed, tilting his head to look at the birthmark on his shoulder.

"I think it's a birthmark. I read books or watch the news on the internet, they write that birthmarks will help you find your family." Rika said innocently. But that made Key furrow his brows in thought. He remembered the woman he met in the afternoon. It's strange but he feels familiar with her.

The next day, they went scuba diving on a nearby island. The sea here is very beautiful, the water is not too deep but clear, you can see each shimmering coral reef, colorful fishes are swimming around and there is no pollution. Rika seemed to be mesmerized by the scene.

It's really beautiful. She wears a full-body swimsuit and a life jacket. Her heart couldn't help but flutter. She can't swim. Her last memory is when she drowned as a child. So she doesn't go to the beach very often.

Hold Key's hand and they both jump into the sea. Key helps her put on her goggles and helps her swim slowly using a life jacket. She was still pulling her hand on Key's shirt.

After fifteen minutes, she explored the underwater scene, she pushed herself up to face Key's face in front of her.

She put her sunglasses on her forehead and said excitedly. "The sea is so beautiful. The fish are so colorful. Look... they're swimming around me."

"Yes. I can see them. Do you like them?" He smiled gently.

"Uhm." She nodded and curled her lips.

"It's hot now, get off the boat or your skin will get sunburnt later." He slowly pulled on her life jacket.

While Rika was lying on the ocean's surface. She closed her eyes and enjoyed the sound of the waves and the voices of a few people not far from her.

A young couple sitting on the deck of a boat. The girl said to the boy. "In the future, I want to have a house by the sea."

"OK. I will buy you a house near the sea. And what do you do every morning when you wake up?"

"Watch the sunrise. Listen to the waves of the sea. Walking on the sand."

"We will watch the sunrise and sunset together every day."

Rika overheard their conversation. She also wants to be like the other girl. But she knows that it will be difficult for Key to buy a house for them. So she pretends as if she doesn't care about them.

Key works hard every day and just wants her to have a good life. But Rika is not a spoiled, demanding girl. She sympathizes and understands him.

Key gave her a towel to dry her hair.

"Thank." Rika took the towel and said.

Key sat down next to her and gave her a glass of mineral water after she dried her hair.

"Are you happy today?" He asks.

"Yeah. I'm happy. It's been a while since I went on a beach vacation."

"Me too. I was so busy until I forgot when was the last time I was on vacation."

Before marrying Ella, David was a workaholic. Sometimes he worked overtime until ten o'clock at night. As his assistant, Key couldn't help but stay and work with him.

"It's not just vacation. You should also need time to find time for yourself."

"My time is you." Key smiled while looking at her.

In the evening, they go for a walk at the beach, which is also very crowded with tourists.

Rika and Key walked hand in hand on the sand, after a while, Key asked her to sit on the chair and he ran to buy juice.

"You sit here waiting for me, I'll go buy you a drink."

Rika obediently sat on the chair, she looked out at the sea at night, this feeling was so peaceful. She didn't notice that a guy was standing in front of her, his eyes were gentle, and he held out his hand and intended to get to know her.

"Hi. I'm Run, nice to meet you."

"Hello." Rika looked up at the guy standing in front of her, he was about six feet tall, of a decent build, black shirt and pants, and looked polite, he also wore a pair of glasses over his eyes. Rika nodded in greeting and continued to look towards the shore, she had no intention of shaking his hand.

"You came here alone? Can I sit with you, okay?" Run saw Rika's ignoring action, he was a bit shy. He withdrew his hand and asked shyly.

"No. I go with my boyfriend." Rika said nonchalantly. Does he want to flirt with her? She doesn't care about him, she's just waiting for Key's return. Key took a while to go.

"You have a boyfriend? You're just saying that to refuse to get to know me, right?" Trembling slightly surprised to hear the unexpected words from Rika's mouth. Before, many girls volunteered to be by his side, but he never noticed any of them. Today he doesn't believe that his handsomeness goes unnoticed by this girl.

"He's my boyfriend." Rika heard Run's words, and she frowned. Does his brain have a problem?

And Rika pointed behind Run's back when she saw Key buying juice, the two men looked at each other, their eyes looked at each other for a few seconds and then Key walked past Run's body.

"You know him?" Key walked over to sit next to her, he opened the bottle of water and gave it to Rika. Earlier, Key went to buy juice but his eyes were always on her. So when someone comes to talk to his girlfriend, he can't help but notice.

"I do not know. But he wanted to get to know me." Rika took the water bottle from his hand, brought it to her mouth took a sip, and said.
