"What?!" I jerked up from shock. I mouthed to him from across the room, 'Are you insane?' but he only gazed back at me with that warm smile of his that always managed to make me soften. At the suggestion, the students began glancing at one another with quirked eyebrows and unsteady voices from uncertainty. They knew I didn't exactly like this type of event, and wondered if I even would oblige to do it. And to their surprise, I did. I couldn't be cowardly and back down, could I? I would only be making a fool out of myself for rejecting Chanhee and make him feel humiliated, which I hated to make it people feel through me.

"Fine," I sighed heavily and I saw him make his way towards me and link his arm with mine, which I dejectedly pulled away from. I wasn't in the mood for any lovey-dovey actions that Chanhee was almost always so eager to do. I knew we were going to lose because I was going to shy away from him and make the ending length of our Pepero stick long. All of the participants were handed chocolate Pepero and positioned it in front of their mouths. The students chanted and many snaked forward to get a better view. My cheeks flushed red from all the eyes boring into me. "Relax~" was the last thing Chanhee said before he bit down gently onto one end of the stick, ushering me to do the same. I mimicked his action and clamped my mouth around the stick.

It was so flustering to stare straight into his eyes, but it would be more awkward to look somewhere else and avoid his burning gaze. I stayed still and didn't bother to move my lips, but Chanhee did the work for me. As the crowd's cheers grew louder and louder to nearly burst my eardrums from the squeals and screams that pierced my ears, Chanhee chewed forward. I heard the crunching of the pretzel as he neared me. I took a step back instinctively as he was too close to me, but he took more than one step forward to close in the space between us even more. I pursed my lips together and squeezed my eyes shut out of instinct, wrinkles forming in between my eyes.

I opened my eyes after the reactions died down. The two other couples were already finished and were currently measuring their remaining Pepero. All eyes were on us now. Chanhee had slowed down his pace and was keeping his eyes locked with mine, which made my legs feel like jello and want to crumble underneath me. I forced myself to keep firm and hold tight until this was all over. This would end quickly, wouldn't it?

I was wrong. My heartbeat quickened and galloped. I could barely see the Pepero stick anymore. The class president announced the measurements and one of the couples sulked while the other shouted in glee. But I blocked out all the sounds and focused on this one task. Timidly, I took one bite, moving my lips an inch forward. And that's when I realized I made a mistake. But it wasn't a mistake I exactly regretted, however. It made me feel jittery inside, and the butterflies fluttered around in my stomach restlessly. Our lips connected.

Chanhee seemed relax and didn't seem surprised at, much to my bewilderment. I deafened out the noises and the ruckus the students were creating upon our small kiss. I drew my head back and our lips released, and cool air hit my mouth as I cut the kiss. The students seemed awfully disappointed and were about to return to their seats, when Chanhee's hand wrapped around the back of my head in a flash and reeled me in quicker than I could blink. There was a roar and applause at his move. Our lips were now mere centimeters apart.

"Y/N, don't seem so flustered, cause that's making my heart race even more," Chanhee's voice slightly muffled by the Pepero in his mouth rang in my ears before he closed his eyes and pressed our lips together.

"And the winner is, Chanhee and Y/N!!"
