Josephine

"You kissed him?!"
Joey's scream fills the cafe. It's Saturday morning and we're having breakfast together before going to work. I've just told her about last night's "accident" and it obviously made her upset as I expected. I choke from the coffee I'm drinking once hearing her calling that a "kiss".

"It was never a kiss, Joey! It was just an accident!!!"
I argue with angry voice.
Well, if you ask me whether my lips were pressed onto his or not, the answer is yes, but it was never, ever a kiss, guys!!!!
"But it's a shame that your first kiss was robbed by your enemy, Jo. What an irony."
She still proceeds because she's always as stubborn as me.
"Again, it was not a 'kiss'."
I say with finality, which makes her laugh shaking her head in desertion. In my mind, despite my words, I cannot help being disappointed at my first kis... I mean, that dreadful accident.

"Whatever you say, girl. But what if it wasn't an accident in fact?"
"What do you mean by that?"
"What if he kissed you on purpose?"
She smirks at me like a devil and I helplessly laugh at her ridiculous theory.
"Are you out of your mind, Joey? He fucking bullies me at school in case you forgot!! Where do you find a reason for him to press his lips onto mine??"

"Joey might have a point, Josephine."
Out of nowhere, Scarlett appears and tells us. She's going to eat breakfast here, I suppose, which is awkward though.
"Good morning, Scarlett! I didn't expect to see you here. How are you?"
I cheerfully say trying to change our subject to her updates. But she is never fooled by my trick and carries on.
"He kissed you so that he can surely traumatize you for the rest of your life. What a genius idea to hurt you, don't you agree?"
As stating she proudly smiles.
Is she a real psychopath? Her words sink into my heart and freeze it. Her theory could actually be true.

What a jerk he is!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hero

"It was not my first kiss!!"
I yell at Shane and Gavin who are in my bedroom now. These motherfuckers came to my house even though it's goddamn Saturday today.

"It was, as far as I know, Hero. Suck it up."
Gavin says as if it's a matter of fact. He's right, to be honest. That was my first kiss. But I will never, ever admit it to them.
"You never fail to amuse us by doing craziest things, bro."
Shane laughs out loud, which, of course, brings me anger.
"What the fuck, guys!! I said it was not my first kiss. Don't you think like you know my everything, assholes!"
After my scream, Gavin asks me,
"Then, when was that?"
His question catches me off guard.
"Wh... what?"
"If yesterday's kiss wasn't your first, then when was it?"
He provocatively grins at me.
Shit!! He's good.
With panic, I blurt out the first thing I come up with in a second.

"Well, you know... It was umm... 2 days ago?"

Ross

I'm chilling at the patio in Sel's place with her. The breeze which still contains a remain of summer caresses my skin. Under a dim light is she glowing like a night-blooming cereus. She looks out of my reach yet I also find my home in her at the same time. It's crazy but true.

A comforting silence wrap us while we're looking up the night sky lying down on the ground. It's impossible for me to not wish this could last forever now.

"Ross?"
All of a sudden, Sel breaks the silence.
"Hmm?"
"You know you have to reconcile with Hero, right?"
It is more like a statement rather than a question, and I feel my calm mind getting stirred.
"Yeah, I know. But he's too reckless these days."
I pout, which makes her smile.
"That may be true, but still..."
"The reason I got mad at him was that he shouted at you like that. You know that don't you?"
I say, cutting her words.
She doesn't say anything but after letting out a small laugh she speaks,
"I saw a wrinkle appeared between your eyebrows when you saw Hero and Jo kissing last night. You have feelings for her, don't you?"
Her question was anything but I predicted.
"Wh...what?"
Pathetically I stutter. Why does she think so when I love her with all my heart? My stomach forms a knot.

"I get why you're attracted to her, though. Because she has such an incredible strength and a pure honesity in her beautiful eyes. Cherish her as much as you can and don't let her go, Ross. Now I can finally chase my own dream in Paris with no hesitation."
She utters these bullshit and I huff in annoyance.
"It's sneaky."
"What?"
"How dare you tell me something like that whilst you know how I feel about you, Sel?"
I, in contrast to my character, snap at her.
"Ross..."
With a sad face, she tries to hold my hands to console but I jerk away.
"I'm just a toy for you to play around from time to time, aren't I? What the hell is wrong with you? I'm sick of your game."
I stand up to my feet and exit from the house.
I don't even care for my eyes brimming with tears at this point...

Josephine

I'm walking home from my 12-hour work now.
I'm exhausted and all the thing that occupying my head is my comfortable bed. And slightly, a tiny part of my brain keeps going back to last night's accident.
Ugh! What is wrong with me? He's my biggest enemy and I hate him more than anyone in this world. Yet, I can't forget the feeling of his lips no matter what I do. His lips were soft despite his rough personality and I felt something warm bears inside me. Something I've never experienced before. This is too insane to say out loud, but it felt so natural to be honest. It was like I finally found my home for my heart. I know, I'm crazy, aren't I? Maybe I hit my head hard when I fell last night.

Sighing in frustration, I was going to cross the road when I saw the familiar blond standing on the other side of the road.
The moment I try to call him, I stop seeing his state.

Ross is... crying?
