Jung Miyoung

"Are you still awake?"

Momentary silence

"Yeah"

We were cramped together in the small utility closet, lying down. Hyungwon could barely stretch out his legs, and I was in fetal position, leaning against his chest. I nuzzled my cheek against it, drawing in his scent

"I see you're sniffing me again" he teased

"Shut up" I said "I can sniff what I want"

Without waning, and in the speed of light, Hyungwon flipped over me so that I was pinned to the ground with his arms. He relished the look of surprise on my face

And then, he leaned close and bushed his lips against mine. It was feather-light and meek, totally unlike the way he usually kissed

I kissed him back aggressively, so much that he was taken back. Soon the kiss became urgent and animalistic, with moans and hair grabbing. Hyungwon started to trail kisses down my neck. It was like all these years of bottled-up angst and sexual tension was finally being released

"H-Hyungwon" I gasped, as he started sucking on my neck "W-What about Jiyeon?"

He barely stopped

"Jiyeon?" he said "what about her?"

I pushed him off of me, panting

"She was devastated that you dumped her!"

"I tried to do it nicely. I sent her flowers and stuff to say sorry"

"But I comforted her in the bathroom while she was crying. I'm like, her friend now. How's she gonna feel if she finds out I'm with you?"

"Talk to her" he said "I'm sure she'll understand"

We sat in silence, again. I saw him staring at me, earnestly, expectantly

"Come on. Let's get some sleep" he said, breaking the silence

I nodded in response, and I closed my eyes.

I was wakened by somebody screaming

"What on earth are you kids doing in here?"

I sat up groggily. It was the custodian, of course, with a handful of teachers behind him. I felt my face grow hot

Hyungwon was already up, leafing through a physics textbook

"Pretty basic stuff" he muttered

I rolled my eyes

"I'm really really sorry" I sputtered, "You see, erm, we sort of got locked in last night and.."

"You guys didn't do anything freaky in there, did you?"

"No no no" I said, laughing nervously

"Because it's happened before"

Behind me, Hyungwon erupted into laughter

●○●○●○●○●○●○●○●○●○

"I knew it. I freaking knew it"

"I know, right? Glad it finally happened"

Hyungwon and I were seated opposite to Eunmi and Changkyun at a cafe

"So" Eunmi said "Tell us all the deets"

I raise my eyebrows

"Deets? Really?"

"I'm sorry" Changkyun mouthed

"Well, Miyoung has been secretly in love with me for all these years, and when she finally got the guts to confess I pitied her and forced myself to reciprocate and now I can't tell that my feelings are forced so that pretty much makes them real"

I hit Hyungwon on the back of his head

"Oh shut up, actually, Hyungwon liked me since we were in diapers and he was afraid of me not reciprocating that he put it off until Senior year and now we're dating"

"Yeah" he confirmed

"Yeah"

"So.." Eunmi say slowly "Is this your first official date as a couple"

Hyungwon and I exchanged glances

"Well, I guess"

Eunmi all but explodes in joy

"Changkyun, babe, we get to witness these two lovebirds together, finally"

Changkyun coughed self- consciously

"Er, you know, we've been shipping you two from day one"

"Yeah" Eunmi say "And Changkyun's more into it than I am!"

We all laughed as Changkyun turned beet red. I was content. Everything was coming into place, finally
