The Hidden Land-IV

Haneul could hear her heartbeat loud and fast from her chest. She hadn't expected the quick hug that came from Min Hyuk. His hands were around her, his breaths hitting close, and she could feel his heartbeat pacing in the same loudness as her. Blood rushes to her cheeks.

Embarrassed that she had been hugged, her hands that were suspended on the sides of his waist didn't know what to do and froze. 

The hug was warm, everything she could wish for and it felt the best hug in the world even though this was her first hug with a male in her entire life.

"I... were you searching for me?" Haneul tried to sound as much natural she could be.

Min Hyuk seemed to have realized his hug that tightened over her slender shoulders and pulled himself away. 

Haneul watched him backing away. The warmth could still be felt over her neck and the back of her head where earlier Min Hyuk had touched her. It made her yearned for the hug that was brief again.
