I was in shock for a few seconds until it hit me. He just stole my first kiss! I burst into tears and slapped him as hard as I could. I saw him struck dumb. I know it hurts but I don't feel sorry for it.

               
"Mian..." I heard him say but I didn't let him finish. I went out of the room and ran as fast as I could. I don't know where to go but I just want to go far from him.


My feet brought me to an unfamiliar place with lots of sunflowers in it. I never knew that there's a place like this here. Sunflowers are glowing even though it's dark. Such beauty.

             
I sat down on one of the benches. I was looking at glimmering stars trying to catch my breath and calm myself when someone sat beside me out of the blue.


"You still look beautiful even when you're crying." Donghae handed me his handkerchief.


"Should I take that as compliment?" I subtly laughed while wiping off my tears.

      
"I'm here to listen whenever you want to talk about the reason why you're crying."


Then there was a deafening silence. I want to let go of the pain inside my chest but I just can't. Whatever happened between me and PCY should just remain a secret. It should be kept under wraps so I could forget about it and move on easily.


"Whenever I have problems, I just think of the old saying. Gosaeng ggeuteh naki eunda." At the end of hardship comes happiness. He told me while he was smiling at the sky.


I think he was right. Because every after hardships that I encounter, there is a knight in shining armor who always picks me up. He always comes on the right time. Well then, he is my happiness.


"Kamsamhamnida. For always being there for me since we were young." I thanked him.


"Ya! Don't be too nostalgic. I might end up crying too. I don't look beautiful when I cry." We both burst into laughter.


"You're beautiful when you cry but you're more beautiful when you smile. So cheer up and keep the corner of your lips turned up." My heart skipped a beat.


"Just go here whenever you have problems. I'll always check this place so I could be at your side whenever you needed someone to talk to."


Eotokke! My eyes widened as he held my hand.

. . .



It's already 3 am and I still can't sleep. That kiss... It's stuck in my head! Gaaah!


"He stole my first kiss." I told myself with a blank expression on my face.


"That kiss isn't bad, huh?" I didn't notice that I was already caressing my lips.


"Aaaah! Andwae! What are you talking about?" I felt like crazy rolling under the duvet.


Aigoo. I think I am out of my mind now.


*Blag!*


I overturned and fell out of the bed.


Aigoo! Aigoo! Aigoo!
              
. . .



"Ya! What happened to your eyes? Did you cry? Didn't you had a good night sleep?"


Bom really knows me well that I don't need to tell her for her to know.


"Mind your own business, Bom."


"Why do I feel like you're hiding something on me?"


"A-anni. I am just not in mood to go to class."


"But why? You're always looking forward to see our professor who looks like G-Dragon."


"Oh! We have a class with professor Kwon today?"


I want to avoid PCY. I really don't know how will I act if I see him. But I don't think I can live a day without seeing my favorite professor. *wink wink*


"I'll not be around tomorrow so you may use the time on reviewing for your quiz. Class dismissed."


PCY's seat was vacant the entire class. I wonder why he is absent. Does he feel guilty about it? Or is he still down in the dumps?


Anni! Anni! Anni! I should not be thinking about him. I should be happy because he is not around.


I went to the sunflower garden hoping to see Donghae again.


Wow! I never thought this place is lovelier in daytime. The sea of yellow is such a stunning sight that never fail to make me smile. I think I found my safe haven here.I wonder why only few students go here to hang out.


"Haebaragi University sparks hope to the students that in God's perfect time, they will bloom, grow, and have a bright future." I read what was posted on the wall. The owner of this university must be very fond of sunflowers.


"Omo! Wishing well?" I uttered with astonishment as I see the hidden wishing well at the back of the garden. I hurriedly approached the wishing well to my excitement.


I closed my eyes and silently made a wish when I reached the wishing well. I haven't finished making a wish when someone hugged me from behind. I was so surprised that I immediately broke out of the embrace and turned around to see who was it. Turns out it was Donghae.


He flashed me closed lip smile then grabbed my hand and dragged me along.


"Gidaryeo! Where are we going?" I pulled away my hand enough to make him stop.


"Namsan Tower. Gaja?" He again grabbed my hand, now tighter. I nodded blankly and ran away with him.
