"The first girl, the first meeting, the first SMS, the first phone call, the first date, then the first kiss" Daehyun said, grinning. "Let's change the stakes. You should kiss him within the week and I'll let go of your car! How's it?" challenge Daehyun again. Ten minutes ago, after driving me home, Namgil went straight to his two best friends and said that he had canceled his action and wanted to cancel their bet. "Are you kidding me? How can the bet be cancelled!" daehyun protest at that time. Even his haughty face displayed an angry expression upon hearing it.
"Indeed, why should the bet be canceled?" tanya Jiwon tried to hear an explanation from Namgil first, "do you dare not say it?" he continued, chuckling. "It's not. I just changed my mind. I want to seriously date her," replied Namgil who made Jiwon and Daehyun distrustful. "Come on, just this time, let go of me! I can't give up that car. I could have fired the president as his son" Namgil asked with a clear face. "Actually why? Tell me the reason!" sahut Jiwon, "didn't hyung not like it?" he continued, staring fixedly at Namgil's face.
"Yes. At first, I was just pointing. Even I deliberately chose her because of her strange appearance so that I would have a reason to break up with her. But I just found out that she is very beautiful after dressing up like the girls" replied Namgil, smiling shyly. "really? How beautiful is she?" jiwon asked in disbelief, even her eyes were rounded. While Daehyun chuckled at Namgil's words earlier while saying in his heart, "what a bad taste it is!" Namgil glanced at Daehyun's disdainful expression, "even prettier than your new boyfriend!" he answered, glancing at Jiwon.
Daehyun laughed even more and Jiwon just said, "Jinjayo? More beautiful than Sooyun?" with advanced lips and glaring eyes do not accept. Sooyun is famous for the most beautiful schoolgirls in school, also has long been eyeing the rich Daehyun and Namgil. But the two best friends never served his efforts and feelings. To launch his action to approach the two rich young masters, Sooyun even deliberately approached Jiwon who was weak-hearted and willing to become her boyfriend as a stepping stone.
"Hows it? I just want to keep going out with Hana. Besides the car, I can give you another one," Namgil bargained again, "come on, for the sake of our friendship. Hana's my first girl," she pleaded. "Yes, Daehyun-ssi! It seemed, he was not joking," Jiwon said as she looked at the thoughtful Daehyun as she stared intently at Namgil who still looked clear in front of her. After hearing Daehyun's new challenge earlier, Namgil just silently stared at him sharply. "What's wrong? Don't you dare kiss her?" daehyun asked returning Namgil's sharp gaze. "Hey, stop. Juststop. I don't feel good seeing you guys like this" Jiwon said. "Wait for later!" namgil said annoyed and left his two best friends.
"Daehyun, don't go too far!" pinta Jiwon reminded. "Calm down! I just want to teach this holy boy something fun in the world. Besides, you're as bad as me!" sahut Daehyun's. "That's not the problem. You know who the two of them are. Is it okay to play like this? My feelings are not good" Jiwon said worriedly. "What are you worried about?" reply Daehyun. "So, I'm just afraid it's going to be a problem" Jiwon said, following Namgil.

"Have I been having trouble eating lately? Whatever I eat, I have no taste. I'm just still starving about you. Am I getting addicted to having you?" muttered Yongju alone in his apartment while putting back his tablespoon. "Why did you look like that? Why are you smiling so sweetly at another man?" he continued, laying his head on the dining table. "I taught you to cover your beautiful face. You can't be like that, Hana!" he said while repeatedly appearing to sigh heavily. "I know that you are beautiful and describing a girl like you is impossible, even beyond the poetry and song poetry that I made for you" she continued, smiling sweetly at my face.
"Hana... Now, how should I do?" yongju asked himself while getting up and ruffling his hair in frustration. He dropped his glass of wine and drank it again. "It's all because of you! Like big letters, I want to put you first in my life. I know, all the steps I took, made you mad at me. I know, treasure doesn't mean happiness, but I want to give it all to you" he murmured. "I want to have it all so that when I'm ready to stand on my own feet, I can take you running from all this, but why am I getting scared. Please don't get away from me. Wait for me to pick you up, Hana." she continued, ending with chugging the wine in her glass.

"Hyung, wait! Wait up!" call Jiwon who is running behind Namgil. "Waeyo?" namgil asked as he stopped his steps and turned around. "It seems, this is not true" Jiwon said with a breath of excitement. "What do you mean?" tanya Namgil doesn't understand. "Are you sure you can kiss her in a week? That's too soon, do you think a girl like Hana would do it? Then... does hyung know how? Want to study first?" jiwon asked with a serious face looking fixed on Namgil's face which suddenly turned red.
Namgil turned his face quickly, "what are you talking about!" snapped it. "Why is hyung angry? I mean, learn how to get a girl to kiss," Jiwon replied, "hey, what do you really think?" he continued smiling evil, teasing Namgil. "Daebak! Has our innocent prince started to think of anything?" said Daehyun who suddenly came to them. "Omong empty!" namgil snapped again with a reddened face and looked annoyed with the ridicule of his two best friends.
"Come on, just turn on the fantasy! This is just right. The dating style is like this now. Love should be full of hope and a bit of wild fantasy, maybe!" daehyun whispered in Namgil's ear, deliberately provoking him. "That's you, not me!" sahut Namgil, do not want to lose. "Yeah, it's me. Saying love without hesitation is my style and makes the girls say, if for you, I would give my body away. I will always shine for you, dear," said Daehyun, deliberately teasing Namgil and giving his wink mischievously before he burst into laughter at Namgil's disgusted expression.

The next morning, I arrived at the school gate. Today, I was a little more excited than usual because thinking of school was my love stage and Namgil. Unlike usual, I came to school without my favorite hat and hoodie. Insecurely, I stepped hesitantly into the school gate. "God! Did I not see wrong? Have my eyes been completely blind?" jiwon said as she closed her gaping mouth and suddenly stopped her steps in front of Daehyun. "Why?" asked Daehyun who was walking behind him, puzzled. "You didn't see it? That's Hana, isn't it?" sahut Jiwon pointed at me and I who heard him turned to them.
Since they were my boyfriend's best friend, I smiled and greeted them. A sweet and cheerful smile that I never showed during school. Bright and glittering, that's what all the pairs of neutrals that see. I used to perform with my favorite monochrome color, today appeared in full color. Black school uniform, combined with a dusty pink knit sweater, white socks and white sneakers, plus a thin powder and a little lipbalm.
Daehyun and Jiwon were still staring at me, until a familiar voice distracted them. "Are you too late?" ask Namgil who just arrived. "Hey, cousin shit! Have you been deliberately hiding your girlfriend from me, huh?" ask Daehyun. "Yes, hyung must have been on purpose!" sahut Jiwon's. "What?" namgil asked back, but when his eyes found my figure standing in front of them, he immediately approached me and left Daehyun and Jiwon who looked annoyed.

At school, Namgil invited me to meet in my class on the second floor of our school. I waited for him in class until there were no more students left. During my class, Namgil recalls how Daehyun and Jiwon last night taught him how to approach the opposite sex with a sweet kiss. And sure enough, while talking to me while leaning against the classroom window, Namgil slowly tightened his position until without me noticing, there was no distance between us. Namgil, who was standing in front of me, looked into my eyes. "Can I kiss you, Hana?" he hesitated, even with a voice that sounded vibrating. "I like you. How's yours?" he continued when I was just speechless to hear his request which I thought was too early.
It felt like I wanted to shout in anger and of course, my whole sense and body rejected it, I even wanted to put out some dirty words to stop it as Namgil started to bring his face closer to me. "Sorry, Hana. I had to do it fast" Namgil said in his heart with a pounding heart, but before his lips could touch mine, I bowed my face and said, "sorry, I've never done it." I turned my body towards the window.
Namgil stared at my back with a sense that began to rage, between the guilt that made me a bet and the curiosity to have me who had begun to dominate his senses. "Hana, I'll ask you again. How're you? If you've never done it before, how about doing it with me?" he asked once more in an increasingly soft voice, without even expecting it, Namgil dared to hug me from behind. His pair of hands coiled tightly around my waist, and hugged my tiny body to that huge tall body. I could even feel the warmth of his breath blowing in my ear.
My body suddenly pecked and slowly trembled, without even realizing my tears were flowing slowly, but it wasn't because of Namgil's treatment that made me this way. I froze as I caught a figure with a hoodie, a hat and a mask standing in the schoolyard staring intently at us. From her eyes, I knew she was angry with me. "O-appa!" I said as I turned around and tried to free myself from Namgil. "What's wrong?" namgil asked confusedly and let go of his embrace.
"My Oppa's downstairs!" panicked answer. "What?!" namgil said as he looked out the window and sure enough, he saw a man staring at his wrath. "Dead me!" namgil thought as he turned around, but I disappeared from his sight. Namgil was confused to follow me or not because suddenly he became afraid if he had to meet the man I called oppa. Daehyun and Jiwon who had been hiding had come out, "what's wrong?" ask them simultaneously. "Looking at Hana who ran away like that, it seems like you failed," Daehyun said with a chuckle.
"Do you dare kiss your girlfriend in front of her brother?" namgil asked annoyedly and stared intently at Daehyun who was teasing him. "Huh? Whatchu mean?" ask Daehyun. "There's Hana's oppa downstairs and I just got caught wanting to kiss her sister. I even hugged my sister in front of her eyes! Can you imagine what she looked at me like?" namgil replied while stealthily glancing out the window. Daehyun and Jiwon looked down and saw Yongju still staring at them. Daehyun and Jiwon retreated as their eyes met Yongju's cold eyes.
"Hyung's right! He's like he wants to kill you, hyung!" jiwon said adding to Namgil's panic. "Wait on! Oppa? Isn't Hana an only child?" asked Daehyun who suddenly became suspicious and curious again. "Said Hana, she oppa him. I had never met in person, but when I drove Hana home, the man was also at his house" Namgil replied. "Then, we better just go home," Daehyun asked. "Or do you want to wait for her brother to come up here?" sahut Jiwon who laughed saw Namgil's panicked expression. "Crazy!" say Namgil because Jiwon has only been teasing him since. "Come, I'm hungry!" sela Daehyun started to walk away. They also went the other way. Whereas I quickly ran down the stairs to the exit given Yongju's uncontrollable temperament. "How could oppa come here? Is he crazy? What if someone recognizes it?" I muttered while wiping away the tears on my cheeks that had fallen.

While below, Yongju clenched both of his hands tightly. "I'm the one who's always made you smile, but you went to the bajing*n that made you cry like that!" thought Yongju who vaguely saw me shed tears. "Oppa.." call me when I get in front of Yongju. I paused for a moment to adjust my gasping breath after running. "Oppa picked me up?" my many. "Get in the car!" yongju said so coldly, that it even gave me goosebumps to hear him, even more so his eyes were still staring intently at me.
In the car was a gripping silence. "Why did the oppa pick me up? Is today's oppa schedule empty?" I slowly tried to melt the atmosphere. "Hmm," retorted Yongju lazily. "Sorry, I've made oppa wait," I said again while playing my fingers, I'm still afraid if Yongju is angry. "An hour" said Yongju flatly. "Huh? Mean oppa?" my question does not understand. "It's been an hour of oppa waiting in the car, but you didn't show up either. Out of worry, oppa looks you in and what did oppa find earlier? Very nice spectacle!" yongju answered with sarcasm while looking at me.
Glup! With great difficulty, I swallowed my saliva. "So she's your boyfriend?" yongju asked with a straight forward look. I just answered him by nodding. "What's her name? From which family?" asked Yongju who started the interrogation. "Kim Namgil, Kim Dangwook's youngest son, Mr. President." I replied slowly. I looked at Yongju's hand squeezing the steering wheel hard and glanced at his face which looked to be gritting his teeth. "Damn! The opponent is heavy!" yongju thought when he heard it.
Yongju's car reached my yard. My hand that originally wanted to open the car door came to a halt, as Yongju said, "put her off!" I turned to her, "what did oppa say?" I couldn't believe it, but Yongju was silent, not even looking at me at all. "Why?" my question was to finally return to my original position sitting sweetly beside her. "Oppa just doesn't like the kid," Yongju replied still with his gaze straight forward. "Why?" ask me again, this time with a sharp glare towards him. "Ck, follow oppa!" yongju said, looking back at me. "Now, come in!" his orders were to escape from my next question.
"Oppa can't be like this! Give me a clear reason, why oppa does not like Namgil and why I have to obey oppa!" I said stubbornly. "Lake in!" repeated Yongju slowly and as stubbornly as I was. "No, answer my question first!" sahutku. "Opa!" call me because since then, Yongju doesn't want to see me, still doesn't budge. "Look at me and answer me, oppa!" call me again while pulling his arm that is still holding the steering wheel of his car. "Lake in!" the silence made me silent. "Oppa said, oppa does not like him and you have to obey oppa because I'm your oppa and you're oppa's sister! Arraseo?" yongju replied annoyed.
So did I who also gritted my teeth hear the answer. "That's it. Just get in there!" said Yongju who lowered his tone that had risen. I smiled bitterly, "No, oppa is wrong," I said bowed. "What's? Hey, what are you talking about?" asked Yongju who did not understand what I said. I got out of his car and said before slamming the door of his car, "Oppa is just my cousin's brother. So, oppa doesn't have to interfere with my relationship!"
