I opened my eyes and stretched. I'm guessing it was like a miracle for me to wake up at such an early time like this. I rolled to the other side of the bed and a saw his cute sleeping face. A little giggle escaped my lips as I lightly woke up him up from his slumber through a sweet good morning greeting. "Good morning, oppa." I kissed his cheek and he rubbed his eyes. "Good morning too, jagiya." He replied with a low voice while pecking my lips quickly.

"So, what's for breakfast?" I asked, laughing a little. "Psh, don't tell me you're still not full of my handsomeness and kisses?" He winked and I nudged his arm playfully. "It's too early, oppa. Stop being so cheesy."

"Okay, okay." He chuckled while getting up from bed. I stood up and followed him. "Kyungsoo-oppa, you love me right?" I asked Kyungsoo while giving him a back hug. "What?! What kind of question is that, princess? Of course I do! I always will. No matter what happens, you're my jagiya and I'll be your oppa, remember?"

"Aww," I cooed. "My Kyungsoo always has the best responses, am I right?" He gave me a cheeky smile before planting a quick kiss on my lips. He looked at me deeply in the eyes, saying, "I love you."

"You seem to act sweet today."

"Oh, c'mon, princess. Don't pretend you don't like it. It's obvious you can't do it." He smirked. "Shut up, you little cute teaser."

I slightly squeezed his nose and he giggled."I'll take a shower first, okay?" He said while patting my head. He grabbed a towel and made his way to the bathroom. As he left, the bad memory of yesterday came back. I knew that kiss means something, because I felt something. I felt it too much. Well, maybe it's just me. Maybe he didn't even mean it. I just have this habit of overthinking things.

Whatever the reason, I forgive him already, really. But I tell you this, forgive but never forget. While sitting on the bed, I noticed something on the corner of my eye. I got up and went to the little bookshelf we had.

"Me and Kyungsoo!!! :)". It was our album, since we were still kids. Yeah, yeah. I have this slight addiction of compiling photos and putting them in albums [ or girly scrapbooks ] with all the fancy decorations. The oldest one so far was the album of our "team". It had pictures of us when we were still little kids until we grew up into troublesome teenagers.

The very last photo on the album was taken on the airport, when Sehun and Luhan left were about to leave for the States. I took out the album of us both. It was old, too, so I had to blow dust off of it. A big smile formed on my lips as I flipped through the pages, remembering all the places we've been, all the dates we've had, and all the things we've been through together.

I saw an old photo of us in Namsan Tower, the place where he confessed his feelings for me. I chuckled as I remembered the way he confessed to me. [ cute yet awkward, of course ] It was kind of expected, actually-he was an awkward kid before with all the anti-socialness and glasses. It even shocks me a little when he shows much affection. Chocolates and dates weren't something he fancied. "Jagiya, what are you doing?" I looked up and saw Kyungsoo smiling at me.
