Enchanted (Bbangsaz)

14

Hanni strolled into Danielle's apartment, still riding the emotional high from the night with Minji. Everything seemed brighter, like the world was giving her a standing ovation for finally making a move. As she kicked off her shoes and flopped onto the couch, she barely noticed Danielle watching her from across the room.

"Okay, spill!" Danielle demanded, crossing her arms. "Why do you look like you just stepped out of a rom-com?"

Hanni glanced over, biting her lip, trying to play it cool. But her smile betrayed her. "We kissed," she blurted out, feeling the blush creep up her cheeks.

Danielle's eyes widened. "Like, finally? The moment we've all been waiting for?"

Hanni nodded, a mix of excitement and embarrassment bubbling up inside. "Yeah, and it was—ugh, it was perfect."

"Girl, I need details!" Danielle scooted closer, practically bouncing on the couch. "What happened? Was it sweet? Awkward? Like, come on!"

Hanni laughed, feeling a little self-conscious but also too giddy to care. "Well, we were talking about stuff—feelings and all that. I got all worked up, thinking she was into Yuna, and I kinda snapped."

Danielle smirked. "You? Jealous? Now that's something I need to hear about."

"I know, I know," Hanni groaned, covering her face with her hands. "I'm not proud of it, okay? I was just... nervous, and she mentioned Yuna a few times, and I lost it."

Danielle burst out laughing. "Oh my god, Hanni! You really thought she was into Yuna?"

"I mean, she had a crush and they were texting! I couldn't help it!" Hanni protested, feeling both embarrassed and amused. "So, we had this little argument—well, more like me freaking out and Minji just being confused."

"Classic," Danielle teased, nudging her. "So what happened next?"

Hanni took a deep breath, reliving the moment. "I told her I couldn't handle the whole Yuna thing, and then she just... kissed me. Like, mid-rant."

Danielle's jaw dropped. "Wait, so she kissed you while you were ranting about being jealous?"

Hanni nodded, grinning. "Yep. It shut me up real quick."

Danielle burst out laughing again. "That's wild! I love it. She really just said 'enough talking' and kissed you? That's iconic."

"I know, right?" Hanni giggled, shaking her head. "She asked what I wanted and I told her that I wanted her. Like, all those feelings we'd been holding back... It all came out."

Danielle sighed dramatically. "You two are such sappies. I'm happy for you though. So... what's next? Are you like, officially together?"

Hanni smiled, her heart fluttering just thinking about Minji. "I think so? I mean, we didn't really label it, but... it feels like we're on the same page."

Just then, Hanni's phone buzzed, and she glanced down at the screen to see a message from Minji.

Minji: Hey, thinking about you again ;) Can't wait to see you tonight.

Hanni couldn't help but smile, her heart skipping a beat. Danielle leaned over, trying to sneak a peek. "Oooo, is that Minji?"

"Maybe," Hanni teased, locking her phone and slipping it into her pocket.

"Uh-huh. You're totally smitten," Danielle teased, grinning. "But hey, good for you. I mean, you deserve this. You've a big fat crush on her."

Hanni nodded, her smile widening. "I know. It's just... everything feels so surreal, like I'm in a dream."
