Childish laughter rang through the field as you tore through the grass in hot pursuit of Jaebum. The wind whipped past your ears and you pumped your little legs faster, steadily closing the gap until your grasping fingers finally caught a hold of his arm. A sudden jerk sent you tumbling into the grass in a breathless, giggling pile.

"Caught you!" you crowed, popping your head up to look victoriously upon the loser.

Jaebum rolled his eyes and sat up. "Yeah, yeah," he panted. "Don't go getting too cocky— I got you last time."

You huffed. "But that was last time. And this time, I'm the winner." You puffed your chest out in pride.

Jaebum pouted at you, and you managed two seconds of eye contact before both of you broke out into giggles again.

"Okay, okay," he said between giggles. "Here." He plucked something from the grass and held it out to you. "A prize for the winner."

You scrunched your nose and took the dandelion from him. "What am I supposed to do with this?"

"You make a wish, duh," he said, matter-of-fact.

You eyed the plant dubiously. "How's that supposed to work?"

"What, haven't you ever made a wish before?" Jaebum looked at you incredulously, and you suddenly felt a bit defensive.

"Well, of course I've made wishes before," you sniffed. "But what does a weed have to do with making wishes?"

"I'll show you!" Jaebum plucked another dandelion from the grass. "First, you gotta think of a wish. Then, you gotta blow on it." He eyed it, and after a moment's consideration, he scrunched his eyes shut and blew hard, sending the fuzzy seedheads flying. You watched with delight as they fluttered in the air as if dancing, carried away by the breeze.

"What did you wish for?" you asked.

"That's the thing," Jaebum said. "You can't tell anyone, or else the wish doesn't come true."

You frowned thoughtfully. "That's kind of lame. Why can't you tell people what you wish for?"

"That's just the rules." Jaebum rolled his eyes, but grinned at you, bright and excited. "Now it's your turn! Give it a try."

You eyed the dandelion. The stem was a bit crooked from where your fingers pinched it too tightly, and the light breeze had already loosened some of the seedheads. It sure didn't look like something that could grant wishes.

But then you thought about how the dandelion fluff looked when it flew in the air, and you thought about the way Jaebum smiled at you, happy and assured, after he made his wish.

As you screwed your eyes shut and blew on the dandelion, you thought to yourself, I wish he'll always smile like that.

There was definitely something up.

Jaebum was many things: childhood best friend, talented songwriter, all-around great guy. But one thing that he usually wasn't was as giddy as a schoolgirl. And he'd been fidgeting and failing horribly to stifle a big, goofy smile all afternoon.
