"sunghoon! irang! quit playing and go down now! both of you are making the food wait!" irang's mom shouted downstairs.
ㅤ
"we're almost done ma!" irang shouted back, her eyes focused on the tv across her bed, currently displaying tekken 7.
"you're so so so gonna get down." beside her, is an agitated sunghoon trying to trap irang's character on the corner of the battlefield with only one hit on his character's hp.
ㅤ
unfortunately for him, irang dodged his attack. "angrh!" he pressed on the controller harder and barely managed to dodge irang's offence.
"come on hoon! quite cowarding on the corner," irang let out a weird and devilish giggle as she stood up from the bed, awaiting for her sweet victory.
with free icecream and flavor pick on the line, she's not going to lose over some tiramisu icecream addict.
ㅤ
however, sunghoon looked up and reached for her controller- shoving it away from her grip, and suddenly pressing all the buttons on his controller.
ㅤ
he managed to win the round, by cheating. irang gasped dramatically and stared wide at the tv displaying sunghoon's character, "hoon- dirty move!"
ㅤ
she plopped down beside sunghoon who was laughing obnoxiously. "i win!!" sunghoon teased as he prodded to his side, looking at irang with crescent eyes before making faces to further tease the lady.
annoyed, irang smacked sunghoon's shoulder hard and sat up. "ouch," sunghoon grunted and held the area where irang hit him.
ㅤ
"ha, serves you right sore loser." she stuck her tongue out and rolled her eyes. sunghoon sat up beside her and ruffled her hair.
"well, i can't really lose to a girl, can i?" sunghoon giggled before standing up of the bed, waiting for irang to follow him.
ㅤ
"toxic masculinity at its finest." the girl scoffed and stood up, hopping off the bed and glaring at sunghoon. the boy also followed and jumped to the floor, before quickly getting hit by irang.
ㅤ
"woah, isn't this deja vu?" sunghoon says.
"yeah, i think it's back when you got all sentimental over our friendship and shit? haha!" irang laughed, remembering how sunghoon looked so worried and sulky at that time... back at the beginning of something more.
ㅤ
"tcha!" sunghoon scoffs. "well, look at where that got us now! you airhead."
"mhmm.. whatever you say. come on, let's go get icecream."
it was the middle of a winter day when they chose to eat icecream... but not as bestfriends...
ㅤ
but as a young couple.
ㅤ
...
ㅤ
turns out, that day in front of sunghoon's home— they weren't leaving. at least, sunghoon wasn't.
his parents planned to renovate the house and temporarily live at his uncle's home. sunghoon was to be left behind, assisting the construction workers and look out for the property.
byunseo tricked irang, but maybe it was for the better. irang knew she wouldn't be able to act upon something until it's almost late.
ㅤ
well, least to say, irang came storming to the icecream parlor, only to hug byunseo and cry her face away, asking why byunseo would do something so cruel to herself.
byunseo only said that she did what she felt was right, and there was no need for apologies... though irang did say sorry for a million times before leaving with a free mint choco icecream in her hand.
ㅤ
"hey can i tell you secret?" irang whispered into her boyfriend's ear.
ㅤ
even with their official relationship, there were still questions boggling the young couple's minds.
"hm? what secret?" with his arms gently paced around her waist, sunghoon looked down to his girl's height and raised his eyebrows.
would they still be able to keep their relationship once they go to college? will they get married once they get to work? what if they meet someone else? life is still ahead for the young couple. but those questions can only be answered through the weights of their blooming love.
ㅤ
"i love you, hoonie" she whispers into his ear, giggling softly.
ㅤ
sunghoon smiled at this, causing blood to flow to his cheek, leaving his pale white skin a pinkish rosy hue. "then can i tell you a secret too?" sunghoon then whispered back.
"mhmm!" irang hummed enthusiastically, her arms clinging around sunghoon's neck.
ㅤ
ㅤ
ㅤ
"well, i love you more, my irang."
