Childhood Memories

[ jake's pov ]

it's been two days since we kissed and things between us got a bit better than i thought.

we're closer than ever.
and that makes me so happy.

we're now cuddling on my bed while binge-watching to some old movies. i exhaled while look at her, being all focus on the tv screen.

"are you bored?" i asked, slowly caressing her cheeks.

she looks at me with a smile plastered on her face, "being here with you is enough for not making me feel bored" she replied, chuckling.

you're making me in love with you, even more, lee heesoo...

i exhaled then adjust the way we cuddling to make it 'comfier'.

"can i kiss you again?" i asked while gently touch her lips then bring our face closer.

she placed an arm around my neck and changed her position by sitting on top of me.

"what if i said 'no'?" she teasingly asked me while touching my lips then stared at my eyes.

i can't stand her.

i quickly closing our gap again and grab her face as our lips touched again.

at some point, i love her lips. this also may sound stupid but the fact that her lips are 'virgin' and i'm the one who stole her first kissed makes it even more special to me.

i placed my arms around her waist making us even closer as she slowly trailed her kisses down my neck...

...i thought she's innocent?

i flipped her around and chuckled, "i thought you were innocent" i pressed my forehead against her then kissed her neck while she give me a slight smirk,

"i may look innocent but don't forget certain movies and dramas do have kissed scenes" she simply replied then pushed me away.

well, that makes sense.

she walked to my closet and examined my clothes, "can i used this?" she asked as she take out my favorite brown shirt.

i blinked then walk to her with a smile, "yeah sure"

she pecked my cheek then try it on.

once she came back to me she smiled cutely making me chuckled, "you look cute in my mom's clothes"

she widen her eyes then tried to take off the shirt, "i'm sorry. i didn't know it was your mom's-"

"no no, wear it. i told you, you look cute. you look beautiful." i wrapped my arms around her waist and kissed her.

she slowly pulled away from the kiss then hugged me, "i love you"

"i love you more, sweetheart"

"cupcake," i called her as she looked up at me,

"you bring your album, right? the um..."

"the one i mentioned a few nights ago?" she asked and i nodded in response.

she gasps then smiles widely, "yeah it's with me." she exclaimed then ran to her room to take out the book i guess...

this is my only chance to make her remember about me, us. our memories we spent together.

i take out my laptop and head downstairs to meet with heesoo munching some biscuits while playing with layla.

"cupcake, let's sit in the living room" i walk to her then grab her hand.

"where's the album?" i asked as she looked at me while smiling then showed me her pink album.

she put away her phone and biscuits and scoot near me, "it's been a long time since i last opened them" she chuckled then slowly opened the album.

the moment she opened the album, i can't help but think about our past. how we became friends, how we always cried in front of my parents just because we 'couldn't' hang out together.

the nostalgia...

the first page had two pics with the caption, 'our first picture was taken by our mommy!'

the picture was us hugging each other while laughing like the happy kids we used to be...

i heard her chuckled while slowly caress the 'boy' pic. she flipped the next page and another pic of us existed.

it was the time where our family went to disneyland together in los angeles... that was such a long time ago...

one of the pictures also had heeseung hyung in it. i laughed when i saw a pic of heeseung ice cream fell on the ground while his crying face got captured.

"this pic is funny" i laughed while pointing at the pic heeseung hyung cried.

"he looks so dumb..." heesoo playfully said then giggling.

we keep on flipping the pages and laughed while heesoo explain everything. even though she couldn't remember fully she still tried her best to explain it.

even though i know and remember what all the pics are about... i'm still happy heeseung hyung tried to bring her memories back.

i exhaled then look at her, seeing her smile and laughing makes me so happy. i swear i don't wanna lose her.

mom, please let her stay closer to me...
i love her so much that i couldn't explain what will happen if she leaves me.

i then look at my laptop screen and trying to search for our old video.

i spend almost five minutes searching for it and...

it was worth it...

...so much.

[ heesoo's pov ]

after we're done look at my pink album, jake went back to look at his laptop screen while searching for something.

i stand up and was about to walk to my room to keep it but i stopped when i heard something,

"jaeyoon! wait for me!"

"hahaha run faster, heesoo! don't be so slow!"

"i told you to wait for me"

"catch me if you can, heesoo!"

"ugh i'll catch you, sim jaeyoon!"

sim jaeyoon? isn't that jake's korean name?

i slowly turn to look at jake who was looking at me straight into my eyes and gave me a small smile.

"mommy~ jaeyoon won't let me win~ he lie to me~"

"aigoo jaeyoon-ah, play properly with heesoo"

out of nowhere, hearing these little kids' voices making me want to cry.

was that us?

in the past..?

"ha! i got you, jaeyoon! you lose!"

jake walks to me then held my hand, "you have found your childhood friend" he said with teary eyes.

i was taken aback by the sudden 'news'.

"...what?" i cluelessly asked as jake wiped his tears and hugs me,

"cupcake..."

"you don't know how long i've waited to let you know about this," he said in a shaky voice.
