Present time...

Author's P.O.V.

I felt a tug on my sleeve. Who else it could be? I looked at JK who pointed at the door. I saw a candy seller passing by, immediately knowing he was craving for cotton candy. He always had this severe food swings. And I had to buy him all he craved for cause, who could resist his big doe eyes? In short, I had to babysit him very often.

"Excuse us for some time.", I said getting up, Jk still clinging onto me.

"Where are you both going?", Tae asked me.

"Uhm... He wants cotton candy.. So I'll buy him some & will be back then.", I said grabbing my purse.

"I'll go with you.", Tae said getting up.

"Huh?"

"Buy me cotton candy.", he said.

"Huh?"

"Come on let's go.", he started walking. Jk nudged me with a smug look on his face while I was clueless as always.

I bought them cotton candies. Now I was craving for something that caught my eyes. I tugged their sleeves pouting.

"What happened?", Tae asked concerned.

"Oh god. I know this expression. Nothing just ignore her.", Jk said & I turned towards Tae.

"I want a bubble tea.", I said pointing at the stall which was selling bubble tea.

"Come on. I'll get you one.", Tae said grabbing my hands. My cheeks immediately flushed red at this sudden contact. We all got up to go.

"Where are you going? Stay here, we'll be back in a moment.", Tae said to JK. Jk looked at me and I stuck out my tongue as I was standing behind Tae.

"Yes you enjoy your time. We'll be back soon.", I said and started walking, without giving him any chance to speak.

We reached the stall and an old lady greeted us. I saw a little girl peeking from behind the lady. She was so cute. I gestured her to come out. She flashed me a bright smile. I lifted her in my arms and kissed her cheeks. She giggled wrapping her hands around my neck and kissed me on my cheeks. We both were giggling and talking to each other.

"Who is he?", she asked pointing at Tae.

"Are you her boyfriend?", she asked Tae. My eyes widened & I was about to deny.

"Maybe?", he said taking her into his arms. I looked at him bewildered. He didn't deny it. He played with her while I watched both of them in awe. Tae whispered something in her ear while she nodded her head chuckling. I took out my phone & captured the moment. He put her down while she pointed at her cheeks, telling us to kiss her. We both crouched down to her level. She stood in between us as we both leaned towards her. Suddenly she stepped back and my lips touched his. My breathe hitched and I pushed him. His balance fell and he tumbled on the ground.

I got up quickly and helped him to get up. Avoiding eye contact at all cost, I went to the lady asking for a strawberry bubble tea. I paid and ran towards JK without sparing a glance at Tae. I heard my name being called but how could I face him? My heart... No no my whole body was about to burst out any moment. I sat beside JK who is as shocked as I was and handed him my bubble tea.

"I saw everything. So how was your first kiss with your first oops only crush?", he said chewing the candy. I touched my burning face. Fanning myself I took heavy breathes.

"Look he is coming. I guess he enjoyed it. Holy... He's smiling from ear to ear. All of his teeth gonna fall off soon.", Jk said grinning. I raised my head and saw Tae approaching.
