[Sandeul's POV]


            For a while, I had been wondering.

            I had been thinking about something seemingly impossible.

            What if Baro would come to like me back?

            I thought it would never happen. I couldn’t imagine Baro liking a guy, especially one like me.

            I don’t know how many times I wished that these feelings would go away, that I could live normally, find a cute girlfriend, and leave it at that.

            Instead, when I first noticed my feelings for Baro, I had kissed him unexpectedly. I thought that would ruin everything between us. However, it didn’t. He didn’t change. We were the same as before.

            That’s what I thought initially, at least.

            Over time, I sensed a change in Baro. He started to become more jealous, more caring, more affectionate. I wanted to believe that my heart was getting closer to his.

            And when he had kissed my cheek in the hospital… that had come out of nowhere.

            Baro continued to act weird around me in a way that confused me.

            Then one night, I had seen one of Baro’s caps resting on the edge of his bed. I took it and put it on. I wanted to see how it would look on me, but more than anything, it made me feel like I was somehow close to him.

            But he had caught me in the act.

            Not only that, he brought up the incident that I thought he had forgotten. This time he was looking for an answer.

            “Why did you kiss me?”

            I wanted to shout my true feelings to him right then and there. My reason was obviously because I like him.

            However, I couldn’t tell him that. There was no way that I could.

            Instead, I said the complete opposite.

            “That… was nothing.”

            When I told him to forget it, he became furious. The next thing I knew, he was shoving me up against the wall and kissing me.

            Baro, you could have just told me that you had fallen for me after I had kissed you before.

            I didn’t mind, though. Finally, after all this time, Baro was the one kissing me. I also found the courage to tell him how I feel.

            Yes, I confessed to Baro.

            I was never planning to do so. I thought that nothing good would come out of it, but I still did just the thing I swore to never do.

            After I told him how I felt, he became very quiet. He had stared at the ground for a while.

            Eventually, he responded. “I think…” Baro began, in almost a whisper, “that I may… like you too...”

            His fingers found its way over to my hand and moved slowly to fill the spaces in between mine.

            I could tell that he was blushing a ton.

            I wonder if Baro knows how cute he can seriously be sometimes…

            “I’m so happy,” I said, completely overjoyed by his response. I couldn’t help but smile.

            Silence fell upon us once again, but this time Baro was staring at me with his big eyes. He was just… looking at me.

            His grasp on the hand he held tightened, and he drew his face got closer and closer to mine. I could sense his hesitation. I knew that he was nervous now that both of our feelings had been exposed.

            I closed my eyes and felt the soft contact of his lips. He had initiated another kiss. This time, it was slow and gentle. It was no longer forced. It was perfect.

            I couldn’t be happier.

            I did, however, happen to see something out of the corner of my eye in the middle of this.

            We had been seen.

            Poor, poor Jinyoung.

            He had stepped into the room innocently while we were kissing. I saw him freeze, turn around, and promptly head right back out.

            I didn’t dare tell Baro about that. I didn’t want to ruin our moment, and he’d definitely freak out to no end if he knew.



            Everything since then has been wonderful, although I do notice Jinyoung eying Baro and I suspiciously from time to time. Yeah, he definitely knows about us. But he’s just being the overly concerned leader that he is.

            Other than Jinyoung, no one else knows about our relationship. I’m not sure when we’ll tell them, but we’ll figure it out when that time comes.

            This is something I never believed would ever happen. Every day still seems so unreal to me. Baro and I have come to love each other, and I wouldn’t want it any other way.

            I am glad that these feelings were more than jealousy.

            Because now, I am the happiest I have ever been in my entire life.
