It was a winter evening of November, where the open windows of your room welcomed the fresh cold air of winter into your room. You on the other hand had a love-hate relationship with winter.
Why was it so? You loved it when you were woken up by the smell of winter and had your blanket comforting you with drinking hot cocoa in the morning.
The part you hated? Well it was how you had get out of your comfort zone to complete your daily routine, freezing in the cold. You wish you could sleep till afternoon and start your day then but you sadly knew that school shows no mercy.
Today you loved winter as it was a weekend. You had completed all your assignments for the week,as much as it felt weird you actually had time for yourself?You thought what you could do as you had the whole afternoon and evening to yourself.
You were lost in your own woods of deep thoughts until a text notification on your phone startled you. You were about to check who texted you but then froze.You thought how if you checked your phone you would be on your phone the whole day so you kept it on silent mode.
You plopped down on your bed with your cup of hot cocoa on your table beside your bed.You adjusted your reading glasses and lit your pumpkin scented candle to have a warm and comfortable atmosphere to read the book you bought 5 months back but weren't able to read cause of school and exams.
You opened the book and realised how much you missed the feeling of turning the pages as you knit your brows to read every detail carefully, trying to imagine the scenarios. You smiled as you read through the book and of course challenging yourself on how fast you could complete this book.
5 hours passed by and you closed the book with a satisfying smile on your face and stretched your arms and let out a yawn and paused the timer on your table saying, "5 hours not bad!! Until next time then~" . You got out of your bed and kept the book on your bookshelf and took your phone and lazily walked downstairs.
You let out yet another yawn and asked loudly, "Mom is there anymore snacks? I'm really hungry." Throwing a small tantrum in a playful way but then a voice suddenly startled you.
"Well you coulda not been hungry if you would've checked your phone you know?", That voice was too familiar to you, of course it was!! It was Beomgyu, your best friend since 4th grade,a.k.a your secret crush no one knows.
You both met on the school park when school was over but you couldn't find your friends to go back home even though you knew your way. You saw a small hand reach out to you and with a smile as bright as the sun looking at you to help you. He listened to your part of the story and held your hand and said,"Let's walk to your home then, I'm your new friend as of today!!". That made you fall for him a bit.
Since that day he kept on having conversations with you as you both shared a lot of classes. Over time you slowly developed feelings for him...was it his warm personality? Or him caring about you? You never knew but then suddenly after high school as you both went to different schools you both didn't talk that much...but your so called feelings just slowly faded away...Or so you thought. After seeing him all your feelings came all at once.
You saw him sitting on your sofa with his black leather jacket with ripped jeans and the same old amiable smile plastered on his face as the day you first saw him.Of course he looked a bit taller and his jawline was more defined but there was something different?He looked more reliable and mature.
You fixed your hair immediately and checked your phone and saw 5 missed calls from him and looked at him with guilt and let out an awkward chuckle. He sighed and let out a small laugh running with small steps towards you and enveloped you into his arms and whispered, "Still reading and competing for completing your books faster I see."
You hit his chest playfully and said,"Of course I am because someone just forgot about me~." He acted like your small punch to his chest and your words, hurted him to the point he plopped himself on the sofa. You let out a laugh relieved that he was the same old Beomgyu you knew.
"Drop the Glasses Missy and meet me in 5 in front of your house." You were confused and looked at your mom, you mom nodded and looked at beomgyu with a smile that only they knew the context of. You rushed to your room to fix your hair for the 5 minute timer gyu gave you.
You came downstairs and rushed to the front gate of your house to see him leaning against his motorcycle. You had to admit that he did look really attractive Just scrolling through his phone with one of his legs leaning on his motorcycle and running his hands through his hair.
He looked up at his phone and his serious face turned into a look of pure admiration looking at you. He headed towards you and gave you one of the two helmets he had and sat on his motorcycle and looked at you saying, "Shall we go get some momos like old times?".
"Wh-why all of a sudden?", You asked. He just smiled and said,"Weren't you hungry just 5 minutes back? What happened the hunger disappeared?"So you got on his motorcycle and once he started it you held him as tightly as you could, cursing him under your breath.
As you both reached to the shop, it didn't even take you a second to run towards the shop,but even before you could rush beomgyu held you by your sleeve and pulled you towards him and took your helmet off. "I know you're hungry but please don't take my helmet with you-".
You glared at him and ran towards the shop.
You both ordered your momos and took them near his motorcycle, where he held you so that you could sit on his motorcycle and then he handed your share of momos to eat whereas he stood and ate.
You both were catching up on the time you guys weren't together and how the taste of momos hasn't changed even after years. You were done with your plate of momos and Beomgyu knew what this meant...As you were about take one momo from his plate he took his plate far away from you sticking his tongue out and teasing you. You pouted,but unlike old times he passed his last two momos to you saying he was full,
even though you knew he wasn't.
As you both completed your momos and you wore your helmet while sitting on his motorcycle he spoke, "Uh....Can we kinda stop near the park..for old times' sake?".You were confused but you agreed.
The wind on that wonderful evening refreshed your mood in words you couldn't describe and there it was...you could see the park you and Beomgyu used to play almost once every week. As you both got down, Beomgyu suggested you to sit on the swings while he gets ice cream for you both.
You agreed and sat on the swing remembering the events of today and how you tried so hard not to blush over the little changes you observed in Beomgyu's behaviour.You covered your face with your hands and when you removed your hands you saw beomgyu sitting on his toes looking at you with his smile, tucking a strand of hair behind your hair and whispered, "You look so beautiful you know?".
You were about to cover your face with your hands again but he held your hands and made you hold one of the two ice creams he had bought and said, "You liked strawberry ice creams don't you?". You just couldn't the fact that he remembers every single detail about you and you looked him cupping his face and leaning closer to give him a peck on his lips,which he was really not expecting.
You looked at him with tears in your eyes,"Beomgyu....I really...really love you and I can't sit and wait for you to tell me about the love of your life...I just can't...so call me selfish but I really don't want to lose you." You started wiping your tears with the sleeves of you cardigan, then suddenly you felt two hands lift your face wipe your tears away and look at you again with that endearing smile and said,"Well I do want to tell you about the love of my life... who's sitting right here in front of me."
You couldn't believe it, did you hear him wrong or did-,"No you didn't hear me wrong, I loved you ever since I met you, and just when I thought I'd be the first to confess you confessed before me." He left a chuckle, "So let me ask you this...will you get momos with me forever like we always did?". "Yes.", you said without even letting him complete, he lifted you from the swing hugging you out of happiness he couldn't describe in words but convey through his hug.
