The warm yet stinging light of the sunset descended upon us. You were gazing up at the vast sky, dyed in an ambiguous shade somewhere between orange and yellow.

..

I already knew the tips of my ears were turning red. I couldn't blame it on the reflection of the sunset, because I... you...

The wind, warmed by the setting sun, blew softly around us. Your hair fluttered in the gentle breeze.

I just watched you from the side. I didn't say a word. I liked this silence. I liked just looking at you without saying anything.

Then, perhaps sensing my gaze, you turned your head to look at me. Your eyes met mine.

I flinched and immediately looked away. I could still feel your eyes on me from the side. ..It's overwhelming. Yet, I hoped that gaze would never end.

I bit my lip hard, struggling not to look back at you. I felt like if our eyes met right now, I might actually collapse.
