Greb! Quickly, I held onto Namgil's hand intending to open the gift from me. "Don't open! Later when I come home," I asked spoiled. I'm embarrassed if Namgil opens it in front of me. "Alright, I won't open it, but sorry, my gift was left at home. Yes, because I rushed here," Namgil said lying, but he did not know that today, valentine's day. "You're not angry, are you?" tanya's a little worried. "It's okay" I said with a slight smile, when in fact I was a little disappointed. "I'll give it to you in the morning at school" Namgil said, holding my hand, "sorry" he said gently and managed to make my face turn red.
Namgil smiled to see me blushing. "Want to eat now?" tanyanya and I nodded and on the sidelines ordered food, Namgil did not get tired of glancing at me. I don't know since when, our chat took place during the meal. Slowly, the awkwardness between us disappeared, changing with laughter interspersed with shame. Sometimes Namgil still glanced at me who was enjoying my food. "I just realized she's this pretty. Fool, if I decide! If it's like this, wouldn't I be able to make Daehyun and Jiwon, envious of me!" thought.
I stopped my bribe. "What's wrong? Is there food on my face?" I asked when I realized Namgil was always glancing at me. "No, no," replied Namgil misbehaving, "just, you're really pretty tonight. I want to keep looking at you" he continued, who began to learn to fight. "So.. do you like my appearance like this?" my many. "Yes, I like it. You are so beautiful like this" replied Namgil smiling sweetly. "Do I have to change my appearance from tomorrow?" many doubt. At first, Namgil wanted to answer my question immediately, but suddenly his mind popped into his head, "what if someone approached him because Hana came this pretty to school?"
"Don't!" namgil said, to my surprise, "go to school as usual! You don't have to change your appearance for me. If you want, it's only when we're alone like this" he said, smiling broadly at his row of white teeth. Until our conversation ended with Namgil holding my hand warmly as we walked towards his car, he hadn't even let go since we got out of the cafe.
"Is this love?" I ask in my heart that still doesn't stop pounding. I occasionally glanced at Namgil who was walking in silence, "why is he silent? What's wrong with her?" my thinking. "Okay, what's wrong with me tonight!? Next, what should I say to those two claws? Should I hand you over?" namgil thought as he looked at his car as we got in front of the latest sports car.
"What's wrong?" I asked as I watched Namgil who looked dreamy. "There's nothing. Come on, I'll drive you home" he replied, opening the car door for me. We headed to the Lee family home, my home. "For so long, so many girls have been chasing me, but I don't like any of them. I just feel like everything is normal before I get to know you" Namgil said, glancing gently at me on the sidelines of his driving. I just smile at her response. "Yes! Before I knew you, my heart only moved straight on one name, Min Yongju," I said inwardly as I lowered my face. For some reason, it still hurts every time I remember what he said at that time.

Yongju decided to go back home to see me straight away because ever since he asked me to date back then, I didn't reply to a single chat from him and it made him worry. "Why am I this stupid! I said it, but I'm the one who worries for no reason. No, I must not be weak in front of him! I'd better go home" he murmured, putting on his mask and hat. However, just now the handsome young man was intending to enter his car, his attention turned to a sports car that had just entered my yard and his eyes were stunned when he saw me get off the car after Namgil opened the door.
"Who?" namgil whispered as he found someone staring intently at us. I looked at the man Namgil meant, "He's my oppa," I replied who instantly recognized Yongju. "Do I need to introduce myself?" ask Namgil who suddenly felt nervous. "No need. You just go home, it's late" I replied. "Really, is that okay?" asked Namgil again and I nodded in response. "Then I go straight home. See you tomorrow at school" he said, smiling gently and not forgetting to say goodbye to Yongju by bowing politely.
"Where from?" yongju asked in a cynical tone, after Namgil left and I walked towards him, "who is he?" ask again. My cousin's brother looked at me sharply with a gripping cold aura. "I just came home to celebrate Valentine's Day with my boyfriend," I replied flatly, "what's the matter with oppa coming home?" ask again. Yongju did not reply, only his mouth that was rounded almost formed the letter O. "Why? Wasn't oppa the one who told me to learn to know people and love? Thanks to the oppa, I realized that the words "people" and "love" sounded similar. So, I try to find that love from someone else" I said casually, even though it hurt to say so.
"Thank you, oppa has been making my life so loving all this time. From today on, live with oppa love as well. I've realized, why should I love oppa who doesn't love me!" I continued which instantly felt like a dagger to Yongju. "What oppa wants to come in? If not, I'll go in first. I'm tired" I said, leaving Yongju alone with cruelty after being content to insinuate him. After I left, Yongju laughed to himself, laughing at his stupidity that always pushed me away and dodged his feelings. Brakk! Yongju slammed the door of his car violently and left my house at high speed. I peeked at him from behind the window curtain.
"Right, I forgot, there's a distance I can't cross! The distance between you and me is indeed far, but unknowingly I always go through everything and get to you like tonight!" yongju said as he gripped the steering wheel of his car. "****!" yongju slammed the steering wheel into the side of the road and said, "Have you never noticed? You and I are the same. Both like it, even though it does not mean I am the same as you who easily say your feelings. I want to be part of your page, too. I also want to be involved in your story, as your lover, not as your cousin's sister!" she said softly as she leaned her head back on the steering wheel, "i love you, Hana," she continued with her two watery eyes.
"What if I go? What's it feel like? If I leave, will you be sad? What if I'm not your cousin's sister? What are you gonna do? Are you going to leave me too? Or choose me?" he said with a smile and a chuckle at the same time. The young Min closed his eyes, enjoying the breeze blowing through the open window of his car. "Aniya, this is not what I expected, Hana. Let's hope that person just passes in your heart" he said, seeping at the space between his two eyebrows because of his suddenly painful head. "Hana, how much do you know me? Realize, to me, you're not just my cousin's sister. You are my lover. You're my wind that always cools my hot self. You're pride. You're my love. My only love, Hana," raved Yongju without anyone hearing it.
