We raced to the metro and after about twenty minutes, we arrived at our spot, the swings on the hill. We both sat onto the swings. I stare at the view of the night city infront of me. No matter how many times I look at it, I'm always awed by it.
While I was looking at the stunning view, I noticed Jae-hyun kept glancing at his watch. I wasn't sure what it was that made him keep looking at his watch. But honestly, I was a little pissed.
"HEY LOOK!" Jaehyun yelled excitedly, pushing his watch in front of my face. "IT'S 12AM!" Confused, I just looked at him.
"HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!" he shouts excitedly. "Happy birthday to you~" he starts singing to me, "happy birthday to you~ happy birthday to Jieun, happy birthday to you~!"
You know how it is when it's your birthday and people start singing to you and you just sit there awkwardly not knowing what to do? Despite how many times I've been through this, I still don't know how to act. But this time, when he sang to me, it was different. We were both grinning and laughing the whole time. And the warm and pure look he had on his face, is something I will never forget.
"HAHAHA, you really caught me off-guard there." I said, still laughing.
"Why are you surprised? It's your birthday!" he says smiling, and our eyes meet.
Then he starts pulling something out from his pocket, "Here," he says handing me a small ivory colored box, "happy 18th birthday." Inside, there is a gold ring on top with some small purple and white, ball-shaped crystals.
I stare at the ring, then at him, "Wow... it's gorgeous..." I say, still unable to take my eyes off the ring. Then he starts pulling something out of his pocket again and pulls out another ring.
"Look, I have one for me too. It's a matching ring. You know, I made this ring myself. It wasn't easy, I spent a whole day at the workshop making these rings."
"Thank you." I say.
"Thank you so much... I can just... kiss you-" I pause for a second, realizing what I had just said. I have never thought about actually ever confessing to him. I didn't want to ruin our friendship. I know there is an 80% chance that he likes me too but I love our friendship to possibly take the chance on ruining it.
He noticed the pause and he put his hand on my face then pushed our lips together. It stayed like this for a couple seconds. Those couple seconds felt like forever, it's as if I can still taste his lips on me, even now. It wasn't a mature kind of kiss, it was a pure and innocent first kiss. It was magical, as if the whole universe collided the moment our lips touched.
Then our lips parted. I looked at him, and he looked at me. We look at each other like there's only us two in the whole universe. Then I put my lips on him again as if there's magnets on our lips. This time it was a mature kiss, but I won't say too much on that.
"So... what are we-" I say but he cuts me off. "I like you, Song Jieun. No, I love you. I love you the most in this universe. I've loved you since we were kids, please be my girlfriend and make me the happiest man in the world-" This surprised me, he was tomato red. This is the first time I've seen him so shy... Unable to control myself, I cut him off and gave him another small peck on the lips.
"Unless I marry you, then I'll become even happier." he continues. I laugh at him pretending I haven't thought about our marriage a million times before. Now he's embarrassed.
"I love you one million." I playfully say.
"I love you one billion" he refutes me.
"I love you one trillion!"
"No, I love you one bajillion." he says at the end.
