July 1, 2017.

It was your birthday and it was Saturday. It was just your normal day making some journals for you to be ready for the next school year as you'll be in 11th grade. You got a lot of supports from your family as well as their friends but never from people the same age as yours, well except from your best friend, Jihoon.

You just went back from blowing the cake your family bought you, it may be exhausting celebrating your birthday every year but it's fun as well. You were just writing and listening to your favorite music as you heard a knock from your window.

You opened the window and see Jeonghan risking himself not to fall. You laughed at him as you teased him by playfully slapping his hand that is the support of him holding on from the concrete

"Lia! Stop that, baka mahulog ako." He hissed as you were supposed to slap his hand again but he used all his strength and suddenly bit the side of your hand. You winced in pain as he worriedly carried himself to fully sit down from the concrete on your window. He immediately went to reach for your hand as he put it near his mouth and blew it.

Your cheeks became red from being flustered by his actions. It was silence and all you can hear was the sound coming out from his mouth by blowing your hand. Suddenly you spoke,

"Weirdly, you're not teasing me today." You say as you looked down while your hand is still touching his. You can feel that he's looking at you so you tried to think of something to write more in your journal, but all you can think of is that Jeonghan's holding your hand.

"Lia, tara, rooftop." He invites. You looked up from what you were doing and saw that he's still holding your hand as he was playing with your fingers. He looked at you as well and gave that smile, that smile you've been trying to stop thinking about for the past five years.

"I'm doing something, Han." You replied as you looked down again. You felt his hand move as he removed every object that occupied your hand and put them by the side. "Han!!" You shouted but he puts his index finger on your mouth as mouthed 'shh'

"Come with me." He invites again.

"Ano ba gagawin na'tin sa taas?" You asked curiously as he helped you to climb until you've reached the rooftop. As you stepped on the concrete, you saw a bouquet of flowers. He walked to where it was got it from the chair and reached it for you to accept as a smile was plastered on his face.

"Hoy yabang!" He started off as you gave him a chuckle, "Happy Birthday." He says as you slowly get the bouquet of flowers from his hand. As you got it, he suddenly looked down and shyly scratched his nape.

"As you can see, i've been lowkey courting you for almost a year now..." he trailed off as he looks up and sees your reaction. At first you were confused until you realized something, "Wait... were you the one who gave me my favorite snacks every single day and even leave some notes on it. You even offered na sumama ako sa'yo pauwi, even invited me to be with you going to class kahit inaasar-asar mo ako." You said smiling, he reached for your hand and made circles on it.

He smiled shyly.

"Napansin mo rin pala 'yon, I've been liking you since 4th grade..." He says shyly, "and I wanna ask lang if," he inhaled for a bit and exhaled, as he was trying to calm himself, "I don't wanna pressure you of liking me back pero gusto ko lang i-try," he mumbled as later on he suddenly bursted, "Will you be my girlfriend." as fast as he could. You suddenly giggled at him as he looked at you weirdly, "Lia naman eh..." He softly whined.

"Han," You started which caught his attention.

"You know, those small actions from you made my heart flutter. I even assumed things but I thought it's you, you'd always pull pranks on me, but I didn't know you'd feel the same way." You ended.

He suddenly looked up again and you saw how hopeful he was from you answer. You smiled at him genuinely and nodded, "Yes, I would love to be your girlfriend, Han."

He covered his mouth and suddenly brushed his hair using his fingers. He wanted to scream but he couldn't so all he got to do it pull you and hugged you tightly as he kissed your forehead as he looked at your eyes and whispered, "Thank you."

We were each other's first love,
This is how puppy love is, right?
First loves.
