It was almost midnight.
The moonlight was reflected from the water of the small lake.

Yeosang sat on the grass and watched the night scene. Although the sky was pitch black, Yeosang could see everything clearly. It was quiet, the only thing that could be heard was the rustling of the trees in the night wind.

A few minutes passed until Yeosang heard footsteps behind him. He turned around and saw a black figure coming in his direction.
He got up from the ground and waited until the person stood in front of him.

"Have you been waiting long?" Yeosang shook his head and looked down at the ground a little nervously. The other was watching him.
"Are you cold?" he then asked.
Again Yeosang shook his head and looked up again.

"So why did you want to meet here at midnight?" Yeosang asked because he couldn't wait any longer. The other began to smile and Yeosang's knees went weak. "Turn around," the other said, and Yeosang did as he said without knowing what it meant.

He looked across the small lake, but he could see nothing strange.
"I don't see anything."

Yeosang suddenly felt the other approaching him from behind and getting closer. The other lifted up his finger and pointed to a tree at the edge of the lake, not far from them. "Do you see that tree, Yeosang?"

Yeosang felt his warm breath on his skin and got shivers. "Yes, I see it," he answered. The other came closer again. "Well, there is a legend about this tree." Yeosang slowly turned around and looked at the other. His dark brown eyes sparkled in the moonlight and Yeosang fell in love with them all over again.

"What legend?" he asked, almost whispering. His mouth felt dry. "There's a legend that says if you kiss someone under this tree at midnight, you'll will fall in love with them forever." Yeosang gulped.

"How do you know it's true?" he asked. "I don't know if it's true, but I believe it." Yeosang felt like he couldn't breathe. He felt a hand on his arm. "So..." the other now whispered. "Do you want to try it with me?"

Yeosang's eyes widened.
"You want us to ki-kiss?" he stuttered. "Yes, I want to know if it's true." Yeosang was speechless and his heartbeat accelerated. He looked into the other's eyes.

And before he could say anything else, the other pulled him along.

They faced each other under the tree. "Are you sure you want to do it with me?" Yeosang asked. The other nodded and smiled. "You have no idea how long I've been waiting for this..."

Yeosang was sure that if this was a dream he never wanted to wake up again.

The other slowly came closer and Yeosang closed his eyes....
