Daniel had set his party up on a rooftop of an old building in the center. I climb up the stairs.
I hug Daniel and wish him happy birthday. Sunghoon, Lee and Jimin were there. I couldn't spot Yoosin anywhere.
"Where's Yoosin?" I ask Lee.
"He said he would be here soon," he says and hands me a cup of juice.
After a few minutes Yoosin arrives. He hands Daniel his gift and joins us.
Daniel cuts the cake, we chat and party.
Time flies by. Between the party, Yoosin suddenly pulls me to the corner.
In the dark, his face seemed to shine. His eyes were filled with excitement.
"Neha," he wraps his arms around my waist. I blush. "I have to tell you something."
"Go on," I say.
"Do you remember the first time I kissed you? On the bus?" I nod. "I felt something that day. A spark. I felt happy after the kiss. I felt happy sitting beside you. And then, all the time we spend together made me so happy. In the ice rink, I didn't want to let go of you. In the campfire, I was so happy that you got my name. I wanted to go canoeing with you, but I couldn't. When we were shopping, Taemin came to me. He asked me if I could sell you to him. But I said, that you are not for sale. Neha, when I saw Taemin moving close to you, I couldn't help myself. I was jealous that you agreed to go with him."
I silently listen to him, taking every word in. He means it.
"I know you may not feel the same for me. I understand. But, I fell for you Neha. You made me happy. I want you to be more than best friends. Neha. I love you." He leans in. I am surprised to find myself leaning towards him.
Our lips meet. Soft and warm. We pull apart. We blush. Yoosin chuckles. "You're cute when you blush," he says.

"We should go back," I say. "They will come searching for us."
We return to the party. Yoosin and I were holding hands. Lee glances us. "Yoosin, bro, did you tell here?"
