I was tossing and turning in my sleeping bag. I just couldn't bring myself to shut my mind and get some shut-eye. I sighed and turned to my side to see my best friend, deep in sleep.
"Bo Ra... Bo Ra! Yah, Kim Bo Ra, help me, I can't sleep" I whined, whisper shouting at her.
"Mmm..." she mumbled and went back to sleep after shifting into a more comfortable position.
"Yah, talk to me, help me go to slee-"
"Aish... Shhhhhh... I want to sleep, go outside if you can't..." she muttered and turned her back to me before I could utter a single word. I rolled my eyes at her. I sighed, and laid on my back, looking up to the top of the tent. I tried counting sheep, singing lullabies but nothing, NOTHING at all worked. I got up sitting straight, deciding to go out and spend my time. After rethinking my decision a few times,I tip-toed out of my sleeping bag and zipped open the tent. A gush of the cold night air, hit my skin making my hairs stand. I got out, careful not to make a sound and zipped up the tent, slowly. I turned around to face the vast forest in front of me.
The fire was still burning, to my surprise. I walked towards it, my feet crunching on the ground and settled myself on one of the logs. I rubbed my arms to bring myself warmth and looked up to the sky. The stars were shining bright like diamonds against the dark night sky. Streaks of pink and purple complimented the milky way, right in front of my eyes. I was mesmerised, the warmth of the fire bringing me more comfort as I relaxed.The sight was beautiful itself as I reached my hand out, wondering if I tread my fingers through it, out of fascination. Another arm stretched up beside mine, wrapping my fingers in its palm and bringing my arm back down by my side as I almost jumped out of the log in shock.
"Beautiful isn't it?" someone whispered in my ear and I looked to my right, startled at the sudden presence. It was Xu Minghao, my long time crush. His face was close to mine, our noses almost touching. My heart thumped faster and faster as he looked into my eyes, smiling at me. I realised that he was still holding my hand and I looked down at our interlocked hands as he looked back up at the sky. I was frozen with shock at our contact. He was holding my hand, a gentle but firm grip, our shoulders side by side, sitting as close as possible on the log. How is this happening?! Minghao noticed me staring at our connected hands and frowned. His right hand went up to my chin, gently tilting it up so his gaze could meet my eyes. His touch sent warmth rushing all over my body, evoking a pleasant feeling at the pit of my stomach.
"Can't I hold the hand of the girl I like?" he questioned, pouting. What did he just say?
"T-the g-girl you l-like?" I stuttered, pointing to myself. He leaned in towards me as I shrank back, but his right arm went around my waist, pushing me forward and bringing me closer to him.
"(y/f/n), yes I like her. I like you a lot, (y/n)" he whispered, looking straight at my eyes, bringing a tint of pink to my cheeks. My heart fluttered at his words. I looked up to see his eyes searching mine for an answer. I smiled at him and cupped his left cheek with my right hand.
"Well, I have liked you for a long time too, Xu Minghao" I admitted, leaning in towards him, looking straight at his eye. My heart felt light as a feather, once those words were out and free. Minghao's eyes widened in shocked but he grinned at his pleasant surprise. He punched the air and I laughed at his goofiness. He immediately stopped and turned to me, serious expression on his face.
"SHHHHH!" he hushed me, putting a finger to my lips and silencing me. "Someone might wake up, (y/n)" he urged me as my laughter died down to snickers. I smiled at him, and my hand reached out without my knowing and my fingers ran through his hair. He looked so beautiful and stunning under the moonlight I just couldn't stop myself. He smiled at me, pulling me closer to him, his arms around my waist, admiring my smile.
"Omg, (Y/F/N)! How could you not even tell me?!" someone whisper shouted and we both jerked our heads to the direction of the voice, freezing in the same position. Bo Ra was standing there, staring at both of us, mouth wide that we both were in each other's arms. We immediately pulled away as Minghao scratched his nape and I stumbled for words. I got both of us into trouble, didn't I?
