after a long day of classes, an exhausted yoonmi staggered into her apartment. she'd noticed hyuck's shoes outside the door, but didn't really react. he'd been coming over consistently without warning for the past few weeks, so she was not at all surprised the boy had let himself in.

she dropped her bag onto the table before making her way into the living room.

hyuck looked pretty as ever, his eyes glued on the television as he watched some new ongoing drama. the boy's damp hair and dewy face gave away that he'd just showered before coming over.

she curled up on the couch beside him, leaning her head against his chest. yoonmi held her breath, she'd never really gotten this close to him before and was surprised he didn't react immediately.

to her surprise, he kept his eyes on the tv, lifting his hand to gently caress her face. the pleasant scent of his body wash filled her nose and yoonmi sighed.

"can i ask you something?" she mumbled, and she can felt the boy nod.

"do you... like me?"

hyuck's fingers still, lingering on her cheek as he blinks down at yoonmi. "i mean i think that's pretty obvious."

"ah," she replies, hoping he doesn't ask her the same question.

it was one thing for her to know she'd developed feelings for him, it was another thing entirely to admit to him that she did.

hyuck's fingers continue to drag across her face, his own face mere centimeters away. yoon took this opportunity to study him up close, her eyes trailed over his soft nose, slightly rosy cheeks before eventually falling on his mouth.

her stomach suddenly fluttered at the memory of what had happened at the park. she quickly looked away, turning her head away from him.

"hm?," the boy spoke up in confusion, "what happened? are you okay?"

"oh, yes. i'm fine," she cleared her throat, "are you okay?"

haechan nodded, giving her a strange expression as they both sat up straight on the couch.

just give him a chance, kura's words echoed in yoonmi's head.

she leaned forward slowly, nearing her face towards his to test the waters. when he didn't move away, she leaned even closer, her mouth parting slightly in anticipation.

"can i?" she mumbled, and hyuck bit back a smile before nodding softly.

yoonmi pressed her lips to his, pleasantly welcomed by his warm mouth. his lips were soft and the sensation of kissing him felt oddly familiar as if they'd done this dozens of times. her hand found it's way to his neck and hyuck's cupped her cheek.

after a moment, he pulled away slightly with a grin, "are you gonna hit me again or?"

"shut up," the girl sighed, before messily bringing their mouths back together.
