"Can you play today?"

5-year-old Sunghoon giggled every time he thought about the boy's words, which was a lot. And he had managed to to know the boy's name!

It was Jaeyoon. 

'Even his name is pretty,' he thought to himself.

"Sunghoon! Why can't you concentrate these days?" 

Sunghoon jerked his head up to see his academy teacher with a stern but worried look on her face. 

"Uh... I'm sorry ma'am. It won't happen again."

Sunghoon sighed. He still couldn't stop thinking about his encounter with Jaeyoon earlier that day.

...

"Can you play today?"

Sunghoon was dumbfounded, captivated by the boy in front of him.

"I... uh..."

The boy kept looking at Sunghoon with a sparkle in his eyes which made Sunghoon's ability to think clearly waver. 

He ended up replying, "My name is Sunghoon, what is your name?". It was the phrase he had murmured to himself all the way over here, so it came out, almost as a reflex.

The boy with brown hair and brown eyes and a smile that seemed like it couldn't get wider smiled even bigger as if telling Sunghoon his name was his only wish in the world.

"My name is Jaeyoon! So you're Sunghoon, huh? That's a really cool name."

Sunghoon blushed and he didn't even know why. But he knew that he wanted to keep talking to Jaeyoon, who had brown hair and brown eyes and a smile that seemed to light up the world.

"So can you play today?" Jaeyoon asked once more. 

Sunghoon glanced at his watch which told him that he had about 15 minutes before he would need to go.

"I have about 15 minutes," Sunghoon said shyly.

"Oh!," Jaeyoon said with a surprised face. He hadn't been excepting such little time, but quickly decided to make the most of it.

"Jaeyoon, what are you doing?" someone yelled. 

Sunghoon flinched when he realized that it was the boy that Jaeyoon had been playing with. 

'Heeseung.' Sunghoon remembered what Jaeyoon had called him earlier.

 He began to get worried that Jaeyoon would decide to play with him instead. After all, they had only just told each other their names - of course Jaeyoon would want to spend time with his friend, who he had known longer, more than him.
