Chapter 6 - The Next Kisses

"Wha- no way. You're joking, right?" she chuckled, considering it was a joke.

"No, I'm not." and then he leans in. Slowly closing the gap of their faces.

"May I?" even though she won't reply him, he still crashed his lips on her. Not long after that he back off.

"Sorry for that." and because it's too awkward so he's about to stand up and go, but she held him. "Moonbin."

"Yeah?"

"Are you sure you like me?"

“You can’t imagine how much I like you, Yerin-ssi."

"Can you prove it?" she asked.

"You want me to do that again?" he chuckled.

"What do you m-" and there he goes again, kiss her.

"I must be falling for you more. Sorry again for that." and she back hugs him before he can leave anymore.

"I think I'm starting to like you too, Moonbin-ssi."

"That's good." he turns his body to face her, and ruffles her hair as he says “Now, let’s not call each other’s names by -ssi anymore.”

After the school ended, Moonbin keep clinging onto her side. Bragging that he has something to show her. “Yerin-ah, guess what?”

“What?”

“No, you should guess it.” He said in annoyance.

“Ah you’re right. But can’t you just tell it to me so that I know what are you trying to show off--“ her sentence was being cut by him showing her a new beautiful pink hairband.

“Woah, is it for me?” he nodded with all those cheesy cheeks, smiling at her.

“Want me to put it on your hair?” and she agreed. He keeps trying to tied up her long hair but failed, and just making it damages her hair.

"Ouch! That’s hurt." She pouted but then he quickly rubs her hurting head.

"Then I'll just throw it." he frustated.

"Oh, no,no! Don't! I'll just put it on later." she smiled widely, facing him, and he pecks her on the nose.

"What was that, Moonbin." she hits him cutely on his chest.

"Psst, Kang Yerin!" someone called her, and it's Rocky.

"Ooo, Minhyuk-ah!" she runs towards him.

"Why did you tell me to wait for you here?"

"Oh, right. Bin-ah, I guess you shouldn't drop me off today. I have something to do with Minhyuk." she said.

"Okay, then. Take care of her." he patted Minhyuk's shoulder.

Yerin and Rocky go to the park that the two of them used to play when they were in childhood.

"Remember that you used to kiss me here when we're about to say goodbye?" he smirked.

“Yah! Don't you dare remind that to me. It was embarassing you know."

"No, it was cute, actually." and after he said that, he really pecked her on the lips.

"I miss you, Kang Yerin." he said. "Don't be too surprised, as if we've never done it before."

"But that was long ago, Rocky. We were still a kid, and I was really innocent! I can't even differentiate what's good and what's bad. You need to move on already." She protested.

"How if I only look at you since before?"

"You can’t. Moonbin confessed to me." she told him.

"Then? You haven't accept him, right?"

"I don't know, Rocky. I feel different when I'm with him. It feels like--"

"Stop it , Yerin-ah!” “It's getting late. It's better if we go home now. I'll walk you home." he stood up after he soften his intonation.

"Is there something going on?"

"Nothing. I just don't feel good today. Let's go." he grabs her hand and goes to her house to drop her off.

As they arrived at Yerin's home, Rocky says "Now go ,it's getting cold here."

"Don't you want to come in?" Yerin offered.

"No, thanks. I'll just get going."

"Okay, then, thanks for taking me home, Minhyuk-ah, good night!" and she watches him fading.
