Jungwon and I got off the train and entered into Chinatown, a place where there were many restaurants, markets, cute places, and most importantly, where there were many boba places to choose from.

Chinatown is my favorite place to go. I absolutely love going there. I've been going there for my whole life. As a kid, Jungwon and I adventured here as well. Things haven't really changed around Chinatown; just the more trendy and cute restaurants and boba places.

"I remember this place!! Wow, the memories." Jungwon suddenly clings onto my arm in excitement.

My eyes widen a little in fluster, but I allow him to cling onto my arm, because, well... it was cute. Seeing him so excited was really cute. It made my heart feel refreshed.

"Hyewon!! Remember when we used to come here all the time? My grandma owned a convenience store here." He looks at me with the brightest smile ever.

I giggle. "I remember. Those days were so fun." I nod my head.

"Your grandma's store was the best-selling business ever. We should take after it sometime. Continue her legacy." I joke.

"That's a good idea! Maybe in the summer we can." He nods his head, grinning.

"We could definitely do something for her in the summer. It would be cute." I decide.

"Like you." He mutters, yet I can still pinpoint what he said.

"Huh?" I call out, pretending like I didn't hear him.

"H-Huh? Nothing. I didn't say anything. Huh? What? What do you mean? I didn't say anything, Hyewon!" He panics a little.

I chuckle.

"You're cute, too." I say.

He lets out a little shocked gasp and blushes hard.

"T-Thanks, Hyewon..." he gushes.

He hooks my arm with his, intertwining them. We walk together, passing through all the stores and restaurants, walking side by side with our arms linked.

"It feels like I'm reliving our childhood. This is so exciting." He squeals a little.

My heart couldn't help but flutter, and the butterflies couldn't help but roam around in my stomach.

It was so heartwarming and cute to see him so excited and so happy. It made my heart warm being able to experience him so bubbly. It reminded me of the days where we were little babies. Those days were so cute. We were literally inseparable as kids.

When he left, I didn't think I'd be able to feel this feeling with him again. The nostalgia came rushing back once he came back after so long, and I really wasn't expecting it.

I'm not complaining about the way he makes me feel- well, sort of. I hate being lost and confused, but I can't lie; the butterflies he gives me feels pretty nice. I haven't felt this way in so long, and of course, those butterflies have to come from him.

So many guys have crossed my paths yet none of them make me feel the way Jungwon does. He JUST came back, too. I don't think this is any coincidence. As much as I want to deny it, I don't think this happens normally. He definitely makes me feel things and I don't know why he does, not yet. I'll soon figure that out, but for now, I'll enjoy the feeling he gives me whenever I'm with him.

I just don't want to catch feelings for him. I'm slowly dropping that grudge against him, but still, my trust issues are so fucked up. I hope those butterflies don't turn into feelings. I don't know what I would do if I caught feelings for him. I told myself not to be distracted by any boy, especially him.
