We were having such a good time tonight and I just had to go and ruin it. Now, we stood awkwardly with each other on the bridge looking out over the Han River. For some reason, my little pea sized brain thought it’d be a genius idea to just kiss her out of nowhere. Without her permission, no less. I couldn’t believe I just did that. She couldn’t believe I just did that.

We stared at each other for a while, frozen and in silence. My hands were still on her cheeks. 

I quickly moved my hands away and turned away. “I’m… I’m so sorry. I don’t know why I did that.”

I was hoping to blame it on the alcohol we had at the pocha not too long ago, but I didn’t even have that much. I wasn’t drunk at all so why in the world did I just do that? We aren’t even dating. I didn’t even tell her how I feel about her. What the hell is wrong with me?

“Sunoo…”

I heard her call out to me and thought now would be a good time to brace myself for possibly bad news. Maybe she never wanted to be friends with me anymore. Maybe she hates me, especially now. Maybe she has a boyfriend I never knew about and I just accidentally made her cheat on him.

“Look, uh, if you don’t want to talk to me or be my friend anymore after this, I’d totally understand,” I said. 

“Sunoo…”

My heart was pounding in my chest and I felt like it was so loud, she could probably hear it. 

“You know what, I’ll just… call you a taxi or something so you can go home. I’m so sorry. I messed up and ruined our night, didn’t I?”

I turned away from her but she stopped me. She grabbed onto my jacket and pulled me close to her. At first, I assumed it was for a hug or something, but I was wrong. She had me tightly by the jacket and her lips were on mine.

I froze yet again. I didn’t move until she pulled back and looked up at me. Finally I noticed the blush on her cheeks. She was almost nearly bright red.

“Sunoo, you talk too much,” she said. “Listen, um, I… I like you. I’ve actually been trying to tell you all night, but…”

“But… I talk too much?”

She chuckled softly. “Just a little, but I do love just listening to you. You have so much to say and just listening to you ramble really does make my day, even if it is just nonsense most of the time.”

She let go of my jacket and turned to look out at the river. “I don’t know why you kissed me. It was a surprise. I thought you were going to confess or something when you did. It’s okay if you don’t feel the same way I do. I just wanted you to know.”

I chuckled and nodded. “Honestly, I don’t know why I did either. I don’t know if I just got caught in the moment or something. Um—” I looked at her and gently grabbed her chin to make her look at me. “I like you, too.”

The blush in her cheeks got deeper and she looked away from me. I smiled and stepped closer to her. I could see that even her ears were getting pink from her blush.

“D-Do you really like me?” She asked softly.

“I do,” I replied. “And do you really like me?”

She looked at me and nodded. “I really do. You put up with me even with how weird and quiet I can be.”

I smiled and placed my hand on her cheek. “Then, will you allow me to be your boyfriend?”

She nodded slowly. “Okay.”

I couldn’t help the grin that spread over my face and immediately hugged her. I felt so happy in this moment that if this were a dream, I hope to never wake up. I wish to stay like this with her in my arms and her arms around me forever.
