"Ha... na... Hana.... HANA!" Hana snaps out of her daze, "H-huh?" "Why're you zoning out? I've been asking you whether you know the newbie." Yun Eunbyul, Hana's senior colleague and the Illustrator of HS advertising company, asks while frowning curiously.

Hana moves her gaze back from Eunbyul to the new employee who has been staring at Hana ever since his introduction.

"He'll be assisting all of you with your work as of now. Treat him well." Park Jongseong, the Manager says as everyone nods.

Hana and the new employee seem to be holding a staring competition still. "Hana..." Eunbyul calls out to her again as she looks back at her.

"Do you know this guy, Park Sunghoon?" Eunbyul asks as Hana moves her gaze back to the pale looking guy.

There's no sight of his huge glasses, nor are his bangs covering half of his face. The once bullied boy is now standing still while staring at her.

His brown orbs intaking every detail of her. The long bangs replaced by a mullet. Everything about him had changed, yet Hana could recognise him in an instant.

"He's the one..." Hana mumbles as she answers Eunbyul's question, "He's the one... Who stole my first kiss..."

"Sweetheart, I'm bored. Shall I come over?" Heeseung's text pops up on Hana's phone as she checks it.

"Sorry, Hee. I'm kinda busy right now..." She replies as another text pops up.

"Oh, no probs. See you tomorrow." She sees his text and sighs as she replies, "See ya." And tosses the phone aside as she buries her face in the pillow.

Of course she's not busy. After all, she's laying on her bed. Yet her mind is in a mess because of a certain someone, Park Sunghoon.

Why so? Because he decided to steal her first kiss today. Yes, the thing she had been saving till now.

It was unbelievable for her. The moment his lips touched her's, she couldn't help but freeze.

He kept his lips against her's for what felt like eternity before pulling back and looking at her with wide eyes, he too was as surprised as her.

All she could do was stare at him blankly, trying to process what he just did. She didn't scream or say anything, but simply rushed out of the room.

She felt guilty, frustrated, confused, surprised, but also, butterflies.

Why guilty? Heeseung wasn't the one who stole her first kiss. Frustrated? Sunghoon stole it. Confused? Why did he kiss her? Surprised? He kissed her out of the blue. Butterflies... She doesn't have an answer to that.

Hana groans as she kicks her feet on the bed and sighs. "Damn it..." She matters under her breath as she can't help but sigh again.

"How will I confront Heeseung now? How will he react? He has kissed many already though... It wouldn't be a big deal for him... But still!" She buries her head in the pillow again.

(A few days later)

"WHAT?! HE TRANSFERRED-?!" Haein, Hana's best friend covers her mouth quickly to prevent her from shouting while everyone glances at Hana weirdly.

"Keep it down, Hana!" Haein whisper yells as she removes her hands covering Hana's mouth.

"You must be kidding, right?" Hana asks hesitantly as Haein sighs, "Look, I asked around for him because you begged me to. And when I'm telling you the information I got, you're not believing me?"

"Are you serious, Haein?" Hana asks again as Haein nods, "100 % yes." Hana can't believe it as she looks blank. Haein sighs.

"The class president of his class said it himself. Your Park Sunghoon has transferred from here. He's gone, Hana." Haein says softly as Hana looks disappointed.

"How could he just... Leave like that...?" Hana mumbles as Haein answers, "I think it's a reasonable decision."

"What?" Hana frowns as Haein nods, "Look, he was always getting bullied. The only person who saved him was you. And he ended up crushing on you. Then due to his impulse he kissed you."

Hana blushes slightly as Haein continues, "But you just ran away and started avoiding him everywhere... What else could the poor guy do other than just go away?"

Hana listens to Haein's words carefully as she sighs and nods, "You're right... I'm the one at fault..."

Haein sighs as she pats Hana's back, "Now, now. Forget about that boy and concentrate on your boyfriend. I haven't seen you hanging out with him lately."

Hana sighs as she looks away, "Don't remind me..." "Remind you what?" Haein asks while looking slightly confused.

Hana groans as she rubs her temple, "I saw him kiss his ex a week ago..." "HE DID WHAT?!" Haein shouts as everyone in the class glances at her weirdly while Hana face palms herself.
