Chapter 5

Daphne was awake because she felt like someone was watching her.

"Hey lovebirds you both need to wake up now before the shuttle take you both back to Seoul." Angelo woke her up.

When Daphne finally opened her eyes she was surprised at what position she has. Her head was leaning on Jaime’s chest while the arms of him was wrapped around her. She immediately let go because she suddenly felt ashamed of the knowledge that her friends saw her in that kind of position. She will be teased again because of this.

Jaime felt a movement coming from Daphne. A while ago when he fell asleep he didn’t know that they are in this intimate position. He just noticed it when she woke up a while ago and he loves the what their position was, hugging each other. He was very happy because they are in this position all the way going to their destination.

He returned to his senses when suddenly Daphne stood up he open his eyes and saw Daphne went outside the shuttle. He knew that Daphne was embarrassed by the way Angelo looked at them both. He just shook his head and immediately followed him.

They arrive to their first destination the Garden of Morning Calm. The Garden of Morning Calm found in a part of the Island of Nami. It is one of the best tourist spots among South Korea, that’s why in the itinerary of tourists always include this place, especially for first timer to visit South Korea.

One of the attraction here in Garden of Morning Calm is the view of the botanical garden that showcases the best Korea’s nature has to offer. From the different beautiful themed of the garden depends on what season you may visit. Also a pine nut forest up to the flower beds. Everything about this garden is so breathtaking. No doubt that this tourist spot has often serve as a setting of several K-dramas and also different romantic movies all over the world because of its romantic ambiance.

All of them decided to roam around together.

While walking they talked. Even though it is awkward for Daphne because of what happened a while ago but she does not want to be KJ so she also joining their conversation just to ease the awkwardness.

“It is really nice being here again. This is one of the best place I visit often.” Jaime said to them.

“No doubt that you love here. Aside from the very peaceful place, this place also has very beautiful sceneries that are perfect for the subject in your paintings. A very refreshing view and it’s perfect for a painter like you.” Daphne said to him.

“Not only for my artworks but also for my photography collection.” Jaime.

“You mean aside from a painter you are also a photographer?” Angelo asked.

“Yeah actually that's really my forte. Capturing beautiful scenes of places and then I just choose from there the subject I will paint. I actually graduated photography and I have a small photography studio.

“You mean you don't paint directly to the places you go? That's why I wonder if you said that every time you travel you get the service of our TRANSCORP, how can you paint in just a short expand of time? That was what you are doing, but I must admit that is much more convenient. Capturing a picture to make it easier you. That was very nice.” Daphne said.

“I don’t really focuses on painting. Maybe I only painted one painting only on my 3 months of travel. I’m much focused on photography rather than paintings. I told you that was just my hobby if I wanted to relaxed my self and sometimes that is one of my ways to escape the world even for just a moment. If others drinks, sleeps so that they can control what they wanted in life in their dreams, eating lots of food, or get busy or immerse themselves in work, mine is painting sceneries. ” He said to them.

“So you mean that your profession is photography? We will enjoy this vacation even more because we have a photographer with us. Can you take us picture also to places where we will be going? If that was okay with you. ” Rose said.

“Yeah, off course it is much more than okay. It is pleasure to take photo’s to all of you beautiful ladies.” Jaime.

“Oh my gosh really? You don’t mind taking us pictures?” Daphne said excitedly.

Jaime laughed at Daphne's reaction. She looks like a child on her reaction but it makes her more than beautiful.

“Oh, sorry for that.. If other people are addicted to vices, Daphne is addicted to selfie.” Angelo said whispering to him.

He was about to answer Angelo when Daphne suddenly pulled him holding his arm while you can see the excitement in her face. Jaime just shake his head by Daphne's gestures. She lost her rudeness and was replaced by a childish behavior that added the cuteness of her.

Daphne still grabbing his arm. Her hand was anchored to his arm while they walked. Because of that Angelo teased them again as lovebirds. Maybe Daphne just let Angelo teased her and maybe she don’t even mind what Angelo saying because she did not remove the hand that was holding him.

As they walked Jaime took out his Canon Camera from her bag pack and hung it around his neck. He has always wanted to take a picture most especially now that he will not just capturing sceneries this time, but also capturing pictures on his new known friends and most especially to the girl who was beside him holding his arms.

Finally, he will not only make sceneries for a photo album but he will also be able to make an album for his beloved girl and that is the reason that Jaime is even more excited because of this knowledge.

Every now and then Jaime took picture to them. But most of the time his camera captured Daphne more often. He found out that Daphne was really fond of taking pictures because she was the one who always requested to be photographed. Jaime even stilling shots to Daphne once in a while. He also setting the camera to capture them all.

Their last part was in the lake side deck. They again requested for him to take a picture of them. After taking them pictures, Angelo suggested that he and Daphne take a picture. They turned around and set aside to take a picture.

“Come on lovebirds pretend to be sweet. The view is very romantic but you seem to be getting along with each other.” Rose yelled at them.

"It's okay to be close to each other. Jaime try to hug Daphne and you bestie put your hands on Jaime's waist. ” Angelo instructed them.

They followed Angelo even though they were not comfortable with their position.

“Okay that’s it. Don't move.” Angelo said and count with his hand for them to prepare.

“Perfect.” Angelo said after taking the shot.

“My God bestie you two looks like a perfect couple. I am thrilled.” Rose exclaimed to the two of them.

It is nice to know that God has given him this chance to be with Daphne even this kind of chance only.

They continue taking pictures and roam around the place. When they got tired, they decided to have lunch at a restaurant near them.

It was a buffet restaurant offering the Koreans most trending food, samgyeopsal. They all enjoyed the food and even much enjoyable because of the un-ending topic they were up to. After the wonderful meal, they’ve decided to go to their Hotel Suit.

When they arrive at Jeonggwanru Hotel. The attendees starts to assist them. This said Hotel is one of the Islands pride.
