The four of them went diving in the afternoon. They swam while holding hands, admiring the beauty of the underwater world together. It was an unforgettable romantic trip.
They enjoyed lunch on the cruise ship. The cuisine became more delicious when accompanied with the magnificent sea view.
As the saying goes, time flies when you are having fun. After a whole day of adventures, they then went back to the hotel to rest.
Bella went to take a shower first. She then went to bed without drying her hair. Ben saw that her hair was still wet, he squatted beside the bed to blow dry her long black hair.
Bella enjoyed this quiet and peaceful moment with her eyes closed, a smile appeared on her face as she felt so lucky and happy to have someone taking care of her.
Ben on the other hand sighed as from his perspective, Bella was like a kid as she was very childish. That means he would have to look after her in the future.
Bella was fast asleep as she turned to the side. Seeing her sleeping so soundly, Ben didn't want to disturb her, he tucked her in and went out.
In the room next door, Jonas stood in the bathroom. Warm water from the shower head splashed onto his sturdy body and onto his scars. He was self conscious and unconfident about his own scars and he was afraid to let June see it.
Would she mind?
Jonas couldn't imagine how June would react if he were to reveal everything about himself.
Love was something wonderful, and hence only beautiful things deserve to have love.
June was checking her phone when she suddenly noticed that Jonas might have mistakenly taken her pajamas in with him.
She smiled as she realized that he could be careless too. She took his pajamas and stood outside the bathroom.
She knocked on the door lightly and heard the sound of running water. Since he was showering, he might not hear her.
Thus, she boldly opened the door and went in.
"Ah..." She screamed and dropped the pajamas as she was surprised to see Jonas' body covered with scars.
Jonas immediately turned around after hearing the scream. He saw her standing with a surprised look on her face.
He quickly turned off the water and wiped his handsome face to see if she was okay. Undeniably, he was hurt by her reaction.
June bent down to pick up his pajamas and handed them to him. "Sorry, I didn't mean to enter without knocking. I knocked..."
"Have you seen it?" Jonas asked in a low and hoarse voice.
June bit her lip and nodded. "Why are there scars on your body?"
"It was burn scars." Jonas walked towards her to get the pajamas from her hand, and quickly covered his body with it.
Tears started to fill up June's eyes as she imagined the extent of pain he had to suffer due to the burn.
"You never told me." June's voice quivered and she cried even more.
Just then Jonas noticed that he had misunderstood her reactions and said in a low voice, "Are you blaming me for lying to you?"
June was startled. She hugged him tightly from behind as he walked past her. "I don't care if you lied to me or not. Is this the reason why you refused to take off your clothes? Because you were afraid that I would see your scars? This means that you don't trust me."
June's voice quivered. June finally understood the reason for him being secretive.
Jonas stiffened. He gently pulled her hand away and turned around to hug her. "Are my scars ugly?"
"No, they are not." June shook her head, and her tears soaked his pajamas. "I'm angry because you don't trust me at all."
"I'm afraid that you might dislike me because of my scars." Jonas slowly opened up his heart. He was very glad to listen to June's sincere answer.
