( KOO JUNHOE -POV- )

I looked at her curiously, making her laugh. "We just need my dad's permission now, and everything would be fine again, is what I meant."

"I'm not sure if that'd be easy."

She slightly smiled. "Of course it wouldn't be. It's Jihoon that we're talking about here,"

"Yeah, okay. I'm so determined to make you mine, so let's get on it." I held her head and smiled, looking into her eyes.

"Why would you try to make me yours when I already am?" Yoori smiled. She once again hugged me and this time, for comfort.

It made me smile, and I simply hugged her back. We were in silence for a while, until I asked her a question; "Did you somehow, have a fight with your dad?"

"Who else would make me walk out of the house feeling crappy? My dad, obviously." She sighed. "He never understood me as a father. Makes me wonder sometimes, who I really am and who I belong to."

Caressing her hair, I hugged her tighter.

"I'm sorry," she gently whispered.

"What was that for?" I found her looking up at me when I tried to look at her.

"This. All this. Moving on too fast, after years of-- well, memory loss, I suddenly came up to you and acted as if I've been with you all this while. I'm sorry for being so sudden, and I'm sorry that my dad had to-"

I stopped her, with a quick kiss on her lips. Her eyes widened in shock, and I chuckled as a response.

"June! That was my first kiss!" She hit me softly on the arm and touched her lips.

"Are you sure?" Tilting my head a bit, I tried to make Yoori remember that it wasn't actually her first.

"What?" Being silent for a few seconds, she suddenly covered her face with her hands. "Omo! Aish, why did I have to remember that?"

"Sweet memories deserves to be remembered. We had tons of kisses back then, and each and every one of it was beautiful." I held her hands and brought it down from her face. "I hope you won't forget it again and say that it's your first every time."

Yoori slightly chuckled, "I won't, June." She smiled, placing her hand on my left cheek. "I'm so glad I remembered you. After feeling so empty for years, it was you all along."

"My happiness depends on yours. If you're happy, then I am too. If you're not, then I would feel the responsibility to make your beautiful smile appear again. " I knew her feelings, and tried to reassure her to believe in me.

"I trust you. Back then, now, and in the future. Simply put, I'll trust you forever. I'm sure you know me best, more than myself."

"Yes, I do. And I'll try to know you better. You used to love kimchi fried rice back then, is it still the same?"

"I'm so touched by the fact that you remember such little things about me, and yeah, I still love kimchi fried rice." She smiled.

"Little things? Honey, that's only one out of three billion things I know about you. Don't get so excited yet,"

" Really? But I already am. "
