First Love | Kim Taehyung

part16

Kim Taehyung's POV

I couldn't stop smiling.

I really could not. I tried hard to pay attention to the teacher but could not understand what she was saying let alone comprehend her words.

"...wrong Mr Kim?" My head shot up to find Mrs Lee narrowing her eyes at me.

I looked around to find my classmates giving me weird looks. I immediately straightened up and smiled at her, "no."

"Then pay attention," she pushed her glasses back and continued her lesson.

I heaved a sigh and glanced at Younghee who wiggled her eyebrows at me with a slight smirk before turning back to the teacher.

I ruffled my hair, forcing myself to stop smiling. I was beginning to look stupid.

After a while of calming myself, I followed her class.

Finally, classes were over. I badly wanted to go to Younghee and hold her hand. Packing my things as fast as I could, I strode towards her. She was zipping up her bag while talking to Seoyeon. I stopped in front of them and greeted Seoyeon.

Younghee looked at me and gave me a smile, "Hey." I smiled back.

A fake cough was heard and we both turned to Seoyeon. "I'll take that as my cue to leave," she flashed us a grin and turned on her heel before shuffling away.

I turned to Younghee who seemed a bit confused. "Let's go." I smiled and grabbed her hand, intertwining our fingers.

We exited the school and walked hand in hand. The cool breeze hit my face. I closed my eyes, enjoying the moment. I've always wanted to feel this. Holding her hand as her lover.

"Why are you smiling?" I snapped out of my trance and turned to Younghee who was eyeing me with a small frown.

I grinned. "I'm just happy holding my girl's hand." I gave her hand a gentle squeeze and she looked away. A blush crept on her cheeks. I smiled and pecked her cheek, watching her turn red.

"Y-yah stop.." she slightly pushed me away. I chuckled and pulled her closer as we walked.

Soon, we reached her house. She slowly let go of my hand and turned to me. "Bye. See you." She gave me a smile and turned to leave.

I immediately grabbed her hand and cupped her cheeks before kissing her forehead. I smiled at her. "I'll see you tomorrow."

She smiled, nodding and hastily shuffled towards her gate. After she got inside, I turned around and headed home.

It felt different. Different from last time when I felt down every single day. Currently, I felt happy. As I walked, I recalled the events of today. Our little word exchange, our hug, our first kiss.

And lastly, our confession in the rain.

All of these kept flashing in my mind, making me dizzy with happiness. I still find it a bit hard to believe. A few days before we were both best friends. And today we're lovers. I'm finally with the girl I love.

Without realising, I reached my house. Unlocking the gate, I went in. I ruffled my hair and pressed my palms against my cheeks as I approached the door. I should stop smiling. Eomma will think I'm crazy or something.

I got in and went towards the kitchen to see eomma cooking. "Eomma! I'm home." I flashed her a smile.

She smiled back. "I was just waiting for you. How was your day?"
