At first he was so still that I almost regret kissing him first, but then he pulled me closer and his warm and soft lips moved on mine. I wasn't an expert in kissing. I've never kissed a guy on the lips in my entire life. Yes, I'm twenty-three and that can happen especially when you're too busy trying to survive life every single day. But this feels good. This feels like everything that's good. So, this is what it's like to be happy. I've almost forgotten.

Hwitaek tasted like sweet caffeine. The one we just had. The way he kissed was the way he was—sweet and gentle and I loved it.

I closed my eyes a bit more even after I felt him end the kiss. My heart was pumping so wildly inside my chest as I slowly opened my eyes and I saw the way he's looking at me again.

And for the first time, I want to believe I'm beautiful—because he makes me feel like I really am.

"It's not true then." He said.

"What?" I asked in confusion.

"You said earlier that you're a bad kisser. It's not true." He said smiling sheepishly.

My cheeks heat up and even though such a simple gesture took a lot of courage, I buried my head on his chest.
