"Taekwoonie"

Jumi's endearment for him slipped out of her mouth, and for Leo, it was music to his ears. The best music he had ever heard.

He pulled her in for a hug, even if his heart was beating fast, he cared less. He found her, Jumi. And it scared him when he lost her even for just a few minutes.

He knows it already. He knows what he feel towards this girl in his arms. Being with her was driving him crazy and his heart racing, in a good way. He couldn't bear losing her, nor not having her by his side.

This girl was driving him nuts, and he loved the feeling, in fact, he needs more.

Jumi broke the hug, and Leo was still panting, white smoke coming out of his mouth due to the cold air. "Are you okay?" Jumi chuckled. "No, I'm not okay." Leo jokingly answered. Your smile is killing me, Leo wanted to say.

"Hyung, noona, here." Minhwa said as he handed them two rings.

They both shrugged and casually wore the rings and Minhwa and Yoonseul just facepalmed.

Yoonseu sighed, "No unnie and oppa, you put on each other's rings just like how wedded couples do, jeez you're ruining the tradition."

They nodded and did as they were told.

"Let's go?" Leo asked as he held her soft, warm hand. Before Jumi could speak, a clicking sound of something being locked made them look down their hands as they felt cold metal encircle their wrists.

"There you go," Minhwa uttered as he let go of the handcuffs. "You can go wherever you want, just make sure to return back here before," Minhwa looked at his watch. "Before 9:00PM!" Yoonseul butted in.

"Yeah, that's right. Have fun hyung~" Minhwa said as he gently punched Leo's arm. Leo gave a smile and ruffled the young lad's hair as they walked away.

"Unnie! Go to the school's rooftop if you want a good view!" Yoonseul added and waved goodbye before helping her classmates in fixing items in the booth.

"Taekwoonie, ahh~"

Mimi cooed as she dropped a spicy rice cake into Leo's mouth. They both ate in silence, only the chewing sound they make and the audible voices of the people in the background.

Placing more and more rice cakes in their mouth, the more the chewing sound grew louder and the more they laugh at each other at how chewy and sticky the rice cakes were. The spicy flavor was like fire inside their mouths and it made them naturally produce more saliva in order to "put out the fire".

"Taekwoonie, if we didn't meet before in that cafe, what you would be doing then?" Jumi ask out of nowhere. Leo looked up the sky, and down their feet dangling by the side of the rooftop.

Until he looks down the crowd below and was mesmerized by how the colorful lights made the school ground lively in the night.

"It probably would be just a normal busy day like before I met you." Leo answered sincerely, turning his head towards Jumi and looking straight into her eyes.

Jumi cracked up a smile and broke the eye contact, turning her head up to look at the stars and close her eyes, the smile not leaving her lips.

Leo kept staring at the beautiful sight he was witnessing right now, and it made his heart flutter. Her hair and lashes had caught a few snowflakes, her cheeks blushing due to the cold weather, his scarf around her made her look cute and oh, how beautiful she was as she shone in the moonlight.

The smile that was graced on her lips was still there, the thing that Leo loved the most.

He looked at his watch and it was already 8:29PM.

"Taekwoonie?"

"Hmm?"

"What time is it?"

"8:29"

"Oh," Jumi uttered, "Six, five, four, three, two," she paused, "One."

And like a magic word was said, wonderful fireworks lit up in the sky, being the center of attention of everyone. Jumi's eyes fluttered open right when she heard the sound of fireworks in the air.

The light illuminated on their skin and eyes. And everything felt right. No words were said and exchanged between them, their mouths closed shut, the corners of their lips slightly up.

Jumi felt at ease like never before, forgetting all the problems and worries she had away and lied her head on Leo's shoulder.

While Leo, intertwined their fingers together, the feeling of electricity laced their hands and the butterflies in their stomach multiplied in population.

"Thank you noona and hyung! Hope you had a wonderful evening!" The two waved as they walked away.

Jumi wondered, "So, let's go back the dorm?" Leo shook his head and slightly pulled Jumi forward.

They ended up having a stroll in the park, crossing the mini wooden bridge as they take in their surroundings. The tall grass swaying in the wind, the lotus flowers floating on the water below, and the beautiful reflection of the moonlight on the water.

And that's where it started.

The setting was just silent and beautiful. Just like the two.

They looked at each others eyes, and Leo slowly felt getting sucked in by the irresistible void in Jumi's brown orbs. Slowly he leaned in and Jumi felt the same.

Leo's face was millimeters away from Jumi's, and she could feel his hot breath against her skin and it made her cheeks blush beet red.

Until their lips were finally attached, his lips latched on hers.

It felt like fireworks again, but this time it was hundred times more wonderful than before.

And it felt like time had stopped, their hearts beating extremely fast and the butterflies in their stomach going wild.

Maybe it was how they seem to look at each other in the eyes and say the three words without opening their mouths.

Or maybe they were just made to be intertwined with each others fate and end up together.

But this was the night, the night when they finally be together and sprout a newfound relationship.
