"There is a love I reminisce,
like a seed
I've never sown.

Off lips that I am yet to kiss,
and eyes not met
my own.

Hands that wrap around my wrists,
and arms
that feel like home.

I wonder how it is I miss
these things
I've never known."

Waking up in the morning, Sumi felt as if she had forgotten that she existed in this world

Waking up in the morning, Sumi felt as if she had forgotten that she existed in this world. Only when she stood in front of the mirror with her face dripping with water did she realize what had happened the previous night. Everything came back to her at lightning speed, even though she did not have a hangover.

"Oh, shit." She mumbled, and then touched her lips, thinking about someone who had placed a thousand kisses on them. Smiling broadly, she thought about the compliments Donghyuck, and her had exchanged in the kitchen; their passionate dance, and pleasant touch; his twinkling eyes that yearned for her attention.

Looking at her reflection in the mirror, Sumi wondered how she should behave in the presence of her friend with whom she shared intimate kisses for the first time yesterday.

The way Donghyuck's mouth moved against hers, melted her insides. The boy acted like he had been waiting for this moment forever, and surprised her that it was his first kiss that she obviously stole. Sumi knew he would not lie to her, but the news alone made her nervous. They were just good friends having too much fun at a party, right? They allowed themselves to be carried away by fantasy, and lust.

The girl decided to go to school by herself, refusing Yuta's offer. This time she wanted to enjoy a long walk, thinking about all her inner dramas, before she reached the school, and saw someone who made her hands tingle.
Not going to lie, she was afraid why her body was reacting this way, especially after her failed relationship with Doheeㅡ who still wandered unwillingly in her thoughts sometimes. Even though she felt nothing for Dohee now, the mere sight of him depressed her. But what about Donghyuck? He made her want to wrap her arms around his body like vines, and never let go of him. Such an unexpected safe space that she never thought she would have gotten.

Striding around in her tight black jeans, and black oversized hoodieㅡshe pushed the hood over her head as she opened the main door to the school. The corridor was packed to the brim with people talking by their lockers, oblivious to anyone's presence. Except one.

Immediately, from a distance, she saw her friend dressed in gray sweatpants, and a black hoodie, surrounded by girls on each side. Walking to her locker, Sumi slid her bag off her shoulder, tossing it on the top; luckily Donghyuck had not seen her yet. She discreetly leaned against her locker, examining the situation in front of her.
