The night before I was due to return home, Taehyung called me, voluntarily confessing his crime,
“I accidentally knocked over your nail polish just now.”
“And then?” I asked him warily.
“Then I poured a bottle of nail remover on the floor to remove the polish.”
“You only dirtied the floor?”
He remained silent for a while before saying in an extremely small voice,
“Your favourite necklace as well.”
……. I was so angry I nearly fainted, “Why did you suddenly decide to touch my bottles of nail polish??”
He retorted righteously, “I was conducting military training for them, when nail polish student fainted due to his weak constitution……”
When Taehyung learnt that my parents had never ever read bedtime stories to me, his heart became filled with pity, and he volunteered to read fairy tales to me every night in an attempt to coax me to sleep. Since it was such a rare occasion whereby the Male Capricorn tried to do something that was vaguely romantic, I was extremely touched.
One night, when we were on the car driving past itaewon Street, I suddenly recalled the period of time when we first ascertained our relationship.
Since he decided to send me home, we both boarded the double decker bus and sat in the first row. The psychedelic neon lights on itaewon street were shining brightly, and the evening autumn breeze was gentle and cooling.
There wasn’t many people on the bus, and everything seemed perfect. Suddenly, a thought flashed through my mind It is a perfect time to kiss right now. Without thinking it through, I blurted out my inner thoughts,
“Shouldn’t we kiss right now?”
He was stunned into silence, and stared at me in surprise.
As the traffic light turned red, the bus gradually came to a stop. I started counting down in my heart, planning to kiss him the moment the light turned green. Meanwhile, my eyes darted to the dwindling numbers beside the traffic light.
“5 – 4 – 3 –”
All of a sudden, he leaned forward, his mouth gently touching mine. My brain went into a state of shock, and I responded to his kiss out of pure instinct. It was as though a feather had lightly brushed the tip of my heart, causing my entire body to tremble in weakness.
Subsequently, my face reddened in embarrassment, and I chided him for being shameless. He lowered his head and laughed, admitting confidently, “Yup, I’m just shameless.”
That was our first kiss.
One day, I suddenly received a call from my ex-boyfriend at 2AM in the morning. He was clearly drunk and confused, and was harping on endlessly. As a result of the noise, Taehyung awoke.
When he asked me who the caller was, I answered honestly that it was my ex-boyfriend.
Taehyung’s expression darkened immediately he always took the fact that I had entered into a relationship during the four years he was overseas to heart.
However, in actuality, I had only been together with that guy for less than a month.
I placed the phone on loudspeaker, and that fellow’s voice rang out. He mumbled disconnectedly,
I turned on the mute button and threw my mobile phone to one side. Taehyung
wasn’t done, and continued critiquing me harshly,“You’re too flippant in how you choose your partners!” When he discovered that he had, by accident, scolded himself as well, he amended his statement,
“Well, at least you realized your errors and mended your ways.”
I admitted my mistake whilst repressing my laughter, and expressed my gratitude to the superior for being so forgiving and letting me off so lightly. I then dragged him back to bed to continue our sleep.
The next day when I woke up, I glanced at the phone and saw that the call lasted a grand total of 3 hours and 23 minutes. Exactly how many grievances did this fellow want to confide about……
I saw question on the internet ask each other.
What did felt about your first kiss?
J-You already kissed me before I had any time to react.
T-Ah, I’ve waited so long for this day.
What did you feel about your first time?
J: -Coughs-
T: My dream is finally fulfilled after having dreamt about it for oh so long.
But Jennie you didn't kissed your ex right?
"I don't remember"
"..."
"I really don't remember"
"answer this stupid question by yourself. I am gonna sleep"
"..."
