JAE'S POV

"And I don't want you to leave me."
I uttered these words without much thought.

To my surprise, In-Woo clasped me into his arms. My heart was throbbing, and I am sure he could hear it too. Slowly, I felt at ease, but before I could hold him back, he pulled away. So our first hug was supposed to be a one-sided hug? [Jae's inner voice : I ABSOLUTELY HATE THE WRITER OF THIS STORY]

"I know a crazy place in this neighborhood. Only the locals know of that place. Would you like to walk there?", he asked.

"You're changing the topic now."

"Have you fallen in love with me?", he smirked.

"WH...WHAT? Stop being so del...delusional", I spoke falteringly.

"You are stuttering. I am assuming it's a yes", he gave me the naughtiest look.

I grabbed his ass in the middle of busy street.

"What are you doing?", he muttered under his breath.

"Showing you my love", I squeezed his butt.

He looked helter-skelter and shrugged my arms away.

The place he took me to was indeed secluded. I couldn't find any trace of human existence. It was so quiet and dark. Only the sound of winds rustling the leafs could be heard.

"This is the crazy place you were talking about?", I asked.

"Isn't it crazily scary? Like those in horror movies?", he said in excitement.

I should scare the hell out of him then.

"What's behind you?", I switched on my acting mode.

"What?", he turned around to check. I used this as an opportunity to hide.

When he turned back to face me, I was nowhere to be seen.

"You're pranking me, right?", he gulped and went on a search of me.

I didn't respond and followed him, making sure my footsteps couldn't be heard. Then I made an eerie voice,"BOO!"

He screamed at the top of his lungs and wailed loudly.

I couldn't help but laugh,"In-woo....Oh my god!"

He looked back in confusion,"It was you."

I laughed and wiped off his tears,"Awww! You're crying."

"You're dead meat today", he twisted my wrists behind my back.

"I didn't know a weakling like you had so much strength ", I groaned.

If it was someone else at his place, they could be buried alive right here but I was kinda enjoying this little torture of his . He continued to beat me and I didn't bother to defend myself. In the meantime, we both lost balance. I quickly covered my right palm behind his head in order to protect him. We both fell, I was above him. He didn't crash his head on the ground, thanks to my right hand.

Although it was dark but I could see his beautiful face clearly under the moonlight.

We stayed like this for a few seconds until he opened his mouth,"You're so heavy."

I grinned,"How will you handle me during sex then?

"We have to skip 'missionary' then", he laughed.

"No way. I wanna fuck you, seeing your face. It stimulates me", I said seriously.

"Am I handsome?"

"You're beautiful."

"What the hell? How can guys be beautiful?"

"You're the living proof."

"Oh definitely. Get off me, sir. "

I got up from him and brushed the grass away from my clothes.

"Shall we go now?", I asked.

"We haven't seen the main attraction yet!", he said.

"What is even there at this place?"

"Come with me", he held my hand.

After trampling a few miles, we finally reached our destination. This is insanely beautiful! My jaw dropped... I never imagined such place to even exist.

There was a huge Banyan tree which seemed like a wish-fulfilling tree. Alot of threads hung over it. MAJESTICALLY BEAUTIFUL.

I touched the bark of the tree. The people who once came here had carved their names. Most of them were couples.

"Isn't this tree like the ones children read in fairytales?", In-Woo placed his hand right next to mine.

"Hmm."

We stayed like this for a moment until In-Woo picked something out of his pocket. It was a red thread.

"Let's tie this together. This old tree is known for making wishes true", he said.

"What's your wish?", I asked.

"Umm. Maybe... clearing off my debts", he laughed.

I frowned,"Dream big."

"Then maybe... happiness of the world?"

"What are you? Mother Teresa?"

"You are nitpicking on everything. What is your wish, tell me!"

My wish is that all your wishes may come true.

"I have everything. Money, status, car, good looks and...", I emphasized,"Abs."

He cleared his throat,"You do have a point."

"Just think for once, what do you actually need."

He closed his eyes and went into a MEDITATION MODE.

After a few minutes, he sighed and slowly opened his eyes.

"So, what do you want?"

"No matter how much I thought, I could just visualize.....that!"

"What...that?"

"Thattttt!"

"WHATTTT???"

"THATTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTT!"

"Sex?"

"SEXX. I MEAN NO! WHAT ARE YOU SAYING?"

I bursted into laughter,"What is it then?"

"Clearing off mine & my father's debts, dummy", he hit me with his elbow.

"Ouch!", I moaned. "Let's just tie it then."

He agreed. Together, we stringed the thread around the tree, wishing in our hearts. Then he picked a small piece of wood from the ground and engraved our names on the tree's bark.

"You wrote our names together?", I crossed my arms. "Are we a couple?"

"Happy Birthday", he smiled.

"Huh?", I was startled.

"Happy Birthday Mr. President", he smiled.

My eyes softened, "How did you know?"

"Here", he pointed at the tattoo on my neck.
"XXMMII, I figured out, it must be 10 October 2002 in roman numerals."

My eyes got teary. No word came to my mouth. At that moment, I realized, he is the one. And only one.

"I am sorry", I said.

"For what?", he asked in confusion.

"For breaking my promise", I pulled him towards myself and crashed my lips onto his.

Just like how I imagined it to be. He tastes so good. I can't believe this is the first time he is kissing someone and he is exceptionally good at it or is it his beautiful lips doing their job perfectly. I don't feel like stopping. I don't feel like pulling away. I feel like eating him all I can. Failing to control my urge, I nibbled his lower lips. He moaned, completely making me loose my control.

I grabbed his neck to get more access into his mouth & thrusted my tongue in, rolling it over his tongue. Did In-Woo's soul leave his body? Because mine left already...
