lee hyewon was yang jungwon's first love, and he was hers. growing up together, they had no choice but to lose their feelings for each other once he moved away without saying goodbye. now they're grown up, and they meet again.
will they finally be...
Jungwon and I finished our lunch already; we bought boba before heading out to the beach. The sun was already setting as the commute over here took about an hour or so, and we took another hour to eat.
The beach is the best when it's night time.
Currently, Jungwon and I were on the sand sitting down next to each other on a blanket, close enough to listen to the ocean waves.
I thought now was the perfect time to give him his gift.
"Jungwon." I call out.
"Hmm?" He hums, looking at me.
"I have something to give you." I say, a bit nervous.
"Oh? What is it, Hyewon?"
I carefully take out his gift bag from my bag, revealing it to him. He gasps cutely and his eyes widen, a smile forming on his face. He takes the gift bag and looks at me with surprise.
"What is this, Hyewon?" He giggles happily.
"Just look." I say.
He opens the gift bag and sees all of the clothes that I bought for him. His eyes widening even more, he looks at me, then at his gift, then back at me.
"Clothes? Oh my gosh, Hyewon, you shouldn't have!!" He gushes.
He begins taking out the clothing pieces one by one, the smile on his face never fading; not even for a second.
"I love them all so much, Hyewon! Thank you."
"Was it expensive?" He furrows his eyebrows at me.
"No comment." I respond.
"Huh? What do you mean, Hyewon? How much was all of the clothes?!" He scrunches his nose at me.

"Tell me, Hyewon! Or I'll be upset!" He exclaims.
"It was only $370." I scratch my head a little.
"W-What? Excuse me?" He blinks repeatedly.
"No. Not $370. It was only $374."
"ONLY?!??" He jumps upward, absolutely bewildered.
"What?" I shrug my shoulders in confusion.
"You spent $370 on me???? That's so much money, Hyewon!!!"
"It's fine. Don't worry." I respond.
"It's a gift, from me to you. Don't worry about the price." I add.
He folds the clothes back into the gift bag and places it down next to him. Suddenly, he grabs my face with both of his hands gently and pulls me in, giving me a kiss on the lips. My eyes widen, but then I close them after; pulling away after I quickly kiss him back, he looks at me with a soft smile.
I've never had my first kiss.
Yang Jungwon is my first kiss.
Is this a dream?
I swore to myself I wouldn't fall for him a week ago.
"Thank you, Hyewon. You're so sweet. I'm getting you something next time." He cups my cheek, caressing it.
I grin at him and poke his dimple.
"Can I lay my head on your lap, Hyewon?" He asks me.
"Of course you can. Come here." I say.
I adjust my skirt and make sure it was comfortable for Jungwon to lay his head on my lap. He lays down and scoots his head, moving it on top of my lap and nuzzles it once more before getting fully comfortable. The rest of his body laying on the blanket, he plays with a pebble while I begin playing with his hair.
"This feels so nice. It feels just like our childhood." He breathes out.
"I never thought I would see you again." His expression turns a bit sad.
"I'm really lucky you're in my life again, Hyewon. I've missed you a lot. Did you know that?"
He puts the pebble down, looking straight up at me. We make eye contact and I give him a small smile.
"I feel the same way, Jungwon." I respond.
"About the, making you my girlfriend thing.... I WILL make you my girlfriend.. just not soon. I want to work things out with my mental health and stuff before being with you, so that you being with me isn't a hassle. I want our relationship to be perfect." He confesses.
"I'm not saying you have to wait for me, because you most certainly don't- but I really want to be with you. I just want to make sure I'm all good before getting into a relationship with you, you know?" He adds on, looking at me with nervous eyes.
I pause, thinking for a little bit without saying anything.
I really like Jungwon.
A lot.
I want to be with him, too.
I think he's worth waiting for.
"I'll wait for you, Jungwon. No matter how long it takes." I run my fingers through his hair.
"Really? You'll do that for me?" His eyes widen a little, a small grin forming on his face.
"Yes, really." I chuckle softly.
"But...." My voice trails off. "You really would want to be with me? In the future?" I ask him, feeling a bit anxious.
"I WANT to be with you, yes. You'll be my girlfriend. Don't worry, Hyewon."
