"Tch. Such a meanie. Wait, what? What did you said?"

I heard it right, right?

"I like you, Han Jiwan"

I could feel the world slowing down, I don't even know what to say. It's as if the first time I heard those words. I'm speechless.

"This is weird, I know" he said pulling me back to reality.

"Uh... But, since, how come?" I asked him.

"Since or how?" He smiled.

"Both?" I awkwardly replied.

"Freshman year..."

My jaw dropped.

"And I don't know how" he continued.

I just can't help but blush. I gotta say that even those good looking guys never made me blush when they said those and moreover, Taehyun's reason was nothing compared to the others' but I don't even know why I'm like this for him.

"Have you ever had a girlfriend?" I asked him.

"No" he replied lightly shooking his head.

Oh my Lord. This is gonna is fun.

The way he looked so nervous, I've never seen him like this. It's so not him. He's just so cute.

"Um, you know-" he was about to talk but then the bell rang.

"We better go" I said standing up.

I turn to the door and about to walk as he grab my left hand. My heart started to beat faster. I turn to him. He tighten his grip a but but doesn't hurt my hand. Nervousness is drawn all over his face. He take a deep breath, a deep sigh.

"Will you be my girlfriend?" He asked.

I could feel all these butterflies in my tummy.

"Yes" I replied and nod. "Let's go now. Ms. Park might scold us" I continued with a big smile as he nod.

"What are you doing tomorrow, Taehyun?" I asked while packing my bag.

"I don't know" he replied.

"Actually Han invited you for barbeque with his friends" I said to him.

"With his friends?"

"Yeah. They always. Once in a week. I guess tomorrow's our place"

"Alright. I will come"

"Reach home safe, everyone" Ms. Park said as we walk out.

"Does your brother have lots of friends?" Taehyun asked while walking down the stairs.

"Including him, they're eight. I don't know if he have other friends besides them. They're friends from like middle school"

"Oh, alright"

"They're really nice but yeah, older than us but their youngest is only a year older than us"

"You seem to know them well" he smile.

"Kinda, but not all of them though"

"Oh hi, Taehyun!" Han greeted him from afar.

What the hell has gotten into him?

"Hi" Taehyun replied once we got near him.

"Are you two dating tomorrow?" Han asked sarcastically as I glared at him.

"He's coming for the barbeque tomorrow" I said to him.

"Oh great. I'm sure you'll love it. I got two Aussie friends and they're perfect in barbeque" Han said to Taehyun.

"Ah I see. That's good" Taehyun replied.

"I mean, like Koreans born in Australia" I said to Taehyun.

"That's cool" he replied.

"Okay so, we'll be expecting you tomorrow" han said to Taehyun.

"Yes. Thanks for inviting me" Taehyun replied.

"No problem. We'll go now, bye" Han said.

"Bye Taehyun, reach hine safe" I said to him.

"Okay you too" he replied as Han and I went in the car.

"You're gonna be good to Taehyun tomorrow, right?" I asked him.

"What? Am I a bully?" He asked loudly.

"I did not said that"
