✎LESSON 11: The Butterfly Effect.εїз
✎♥The Dating Subject♥✎
I marched off to the classroom determinedly.
I was wrong, so wrong the day before.
And now I have to make it up to him.
I remembered Mizuki's words yesterday:
Apologize to him, you wouldn't want to lose a great friend now, do you?
I entered the classroom and saw that he was fixing his things. He still looked a little sad.
I clenched the package in my hands nervously and plastered a smile on my face.
I need to do this. I owe it to him.
I walked over to his desk, he was still bent over his things.
"Hi Onew!" I said cheerfully, hoping my greeting didn't sound forced.
He looked up. "Maki?" He's surprised, all right.
I grabbed a chair and faced him.
"How are you?" I continued in a cheery voice.
"I'm good." He said in a cautious voice.
"That's great!" I tugged at my ponytail and smiled at him.
"What's going on?" He finally asked me, looking a little confused.
I blinked.
"Onew..." I said slowly while continuing to tug at my ponytail nervously.
"I'm sorry." There, I said it.
"What for?"
"About yesterday. My behavior and everything else. My attitude was unforgivable, I'm really sorry--"
"Are we friends again then?" He grabbed my hands and covered it with both of his and smiled widely.
"Well, yes. It's not like we stopped being friends."
Even though, that's all we're going to be. I thought sadly.
"Thank goodness. I thought..." He looked to the side.
"Anyway, I'm really glad we're okay again."
"Me too." I smiled at him.
"Oh right." I looked at the package in my hands.
"A little apology gift." I said shyly.
"You didn't need to." But he looked excited.
I watched as he opened the package.
It wasn't much though. I'm not really good with gifts and I just remembered him when I saw it.
It was Mizuki's idea to have it personalized.
"It's chicken!" He looked joyful.
Yes, I had given him a chicken keychain.
He turned it over to the side and looked at the customization.
I had it engraved with:
"I'm Only Onew's."
just as my sister had suggested.
"Chicken is only mine?" He beamed at me.
"Just a little something." I laughed lightly.
He stared at the keychain and smiled at me.
"Then I guess you're my chicken?" His eyes twinkled and his grin got wider.
"What?" I raised my eyebrows in confusion.
"Oh, nothing." He smiled and attached it to his phone.
"Thanks for this."
"It's nothing." I said shyly.
Suddenly the professor came to the room and I went back to my seat.
The whole day was great. Onew kept on being mischievous and he made me laugh so many times.
And the butterflies kept on coming.
At lunch, he even went with me because Mika had another poetry club meeting.
We lined up and grabbed food.
He was infront of me and I saw him brighten up.
"Hey, there's still a piece of chocolate cake left. The last one! You're lucky." He was about to grab it when Baro, who was infront of us, grabbed it quickly and placed it in his tray.
“Aww. That's okay, Onew.” I said, not caring much, and took out my wallet to pay for the food.
“Wait here.” Onew said and I looked up.
“Where are you going?” I was puzzled.
But he was already going over to Baro.
They conversed for a few minutes wherein Onew had this big smile on his face and Baro..well..he was shaking his head.
“Please? I''ll make you a deal.” I heard him say.
I tried to listen in to what Onew was saying but the lunch lady was already asking for my payment.
When I looked at Onew again, he was coming towards me.
Holding the last piece of chocolate cake.
“Ta~da!” He gave me a cute smile.
I almost dropped my tray, the butterflies were attacking me again.
“How?” I asked instead.
“It's a secret. I have really great persuasive powers!” He winked at me and placed it in my tray.
"Thanks, Onew." The butterflies seemed like they were having a party in my stomach.
I clutched my stomach, trying to shut down the butterfly party.
He carried both our trays. When we sat down, he looked at me.
"Hey, you okay?"
I was still holding my stomach.
"Yes." Damn butterflies.
"No, you're not. You look weird. Are you sure you're okay?"
"Yes. Why don't you eat now? Your food will get cold." I tried to distract him.
"Hmmm.." He looked at me., still not believing my excuse
"Here." I spooned some chocolate cake and offered it to him in an attempt to distract him.
"You're going to feed me?" He beamed again and opened his mouth and I felt the butterflies again, intensifying more.
Is this freaking normal??
"N-no." I dropped the spoon.
How the heck am I going to stop these butterflies anyway?
"Hey." He looked disappointed and stared at the spoon I dropped on my tray.
"Sorry." I ate my cake, not looking at him anymore.
Onew, however, was so chatty. He kept on telling me stories about his friends and even about his special quiz in math a while ago.
When lunch was over and we came back to the class, I was somehow relieved.
The farther I was from Onew,the more behave the butterflies were.
Thank goodness.
After class though, Onew was at my desk quickly.
"Let's go?" He grabbed my bag.
"Another lesson?" I kind of missed our lessons. I stood up and followed him out.
We were walking quite slowly when he turned to me.
"Listen, let's drop our lesson today." He looked at me seriously.
"Drop our lesson?" I asked, confused.
"Yes." He looked down at his shoes but then smiled adorably at me quickly.
I clutched my stomach again.
"Well...what should we do? Should we go home already or--"
"Let's go on a date." He suddenly blurted out.
"A date?" Butterflies, butterflies, and more of them.
"Yes." He faced me and smiled.
"A real date."
"A real date?" I knew I sound like an idiot since I was just repeating everything he was saying,
I just really couldn't believe it.
Does Onew...
Could he...
Does he like me?
No, no way.
I remembered always asking him what the flowers were for and he had always answered:
"Aren't we friends?"
If he liked me, then he wouldn't give me that reason
I mean I'm not clueless or anything.
I would've known if he liked me back or something.
Right?
But what's this? Is this a real date or a friendly kind of date?
"Yeah. Kind of like...celebrating our being friends again?" He said shyly but then he made a face.
Oh, it's a friendly date.
"No, nevermind. You're still probably a bit weirded out because of the k--"
"No." I looked at him.
If this was just a friendly date...
Then maybe it's okay right?
And maybe the butterflies wouldn't react so much since we're friends.
On a friendly date.
"Let's do it." I smiled at him.
"Let's go on a date."
He beamed, and I couldn't help wondering, as far as my butterflies are concerned, if I made the right choice.
ONEW'S POV.
"Okay," I said happily and we walked together.
I could sense that she was thinking about something else but I didn't push it.
This is a date after all.
A real date.
"What should we do?" I glanced at her sideways.
"Uhm...I don't know..I've never been on a date before." She blushed.
I smiled. I guess she really didn't consider our lessons as dates.
Suddenly, something clicked in my mind.
I know where we should go!
Taemin and Key had always been begging me to go there!
And it's a friday...so it should be fine if we got home a little late, right?
I grabbed her hand.
"Come on!" I said, excited.
"Er, okay." She gripped my hand and we ran to the bus stop.
"The bus stop?" She made a face.
"That's what you're excited about?"
I laughed. She's really hilarious.
"No. I know where we should have our date."
"You do?" She looked at me curiously.
"Yes."
When the bus came, I let her climbed in first.
The bus was full.
"Looks like we're standing." She smiled at me goodnaturedly.
I frowned. I don't like my ladylove to stand on our first real date!
"Don't worry." I whispered to her.
"The next bus stop is only a few blocks away." Surely some people would get off, right?
But I was wrong.
For the next two bus stops, we were still standing. A lot of people also kept on coming.
Soon enough, we were squished.
"Great first date." She smiled at me teasingly and I laughed, grateful that she was taking this lightly.
Next bus stop.
Five more people entered.
She stepped closer to me to allow more space for the newcomers.
I beamed.
Maybe this isn't so bad after all.
MAKI'S POV
Stupid bus. Are we the only bus around that so many people are riding here?
And where are we going anyway?
The guy behind me pushed harder and I accidentally stepped closer to Onew.
"Sorry." I said, staring at his chest.
I blinked. He really is taller than me.
"No problem." I didn't look up at his face but I sense a grin in that sentence somewhere.
The guy kept pushing and I frowned.
Stupid, annoying g--
Suddenly, Onew put one arm around me. His other hand was gripping the safety handles on the top.
"Please stop pushing her." He said it politely but his voice had a serious note to it.
The guy grumbled and soon enough, on the next stop, he got off and there was more space.
At last!
I was ready to move a little further from Onew but surprisingly, he didn't take his arm around me. His arm wasn't even around my shoulders as what would have been acceptable.
Nooo.
His arm was really around me.
He was, in other words, hugging me single handedly.
"Onew," I said.
"Hmm?"
"There's more space now."
"I can see that." And he tightens his arm around me.
"Onew!"
He laughed.
But he does smell good...
I shook my head.
Stupid butterflies are coming back.
"I'm not taking any chances in you getting pushed again." He laughed.
I snorted, nice excuse.
At the next stop, a lot of people got off and some seats were now available.
"Hey!" I raised my head to see behind Onew's back.
"We can sit now."
"Let's not." His deep voice echoed in his chest.
"Why not?" My voice came out muffled through his hugging.
"Let's stay this way." He said and hugged me tighter.
Somehow, this made me smiled.
I guess friendly dates can be romantic too.
ONEW'S POV
It would have been fine for me if we stayed this way for the rest of the date but we were getting nearer to our destination.
"We're here." I said almost grudgingly and released her.
We stepped off the bus and she looked around.
"Hey!" She smiled widely.
"Amusement park!!" She looked excited.
"You like amusement parks?"
"Yes! The last time I was here, I think I was 12 years old!" She looked excited.
I picked the right place! Thank goodness.
"Come on!" She tugged at my arm.
Wow, I've never seen her like this.
We went to the entrance and she looked up at the fees.
I quickly slapped down my money.
"Two please."
"Hey wait," She took out her wallet.
"Let's go!" I grabbed the tickets and led her to the entrance before she starts with the dutch thing again.
"Which ride first?"
She looked at me as if I was silly.
"Rollercoaster, of course!" She grinned.
"Game!" We reached the ride and waited in line.
When we were next, I actually gulped. This thing goes backwards and all around.
"Yayyy! Come on! Let's go on the first seats!" She pulled me and settled on the seats.
I looked back, hoping there were empty back seats.
"Are you sure you want to sit here?" I forced a laugh.
"Yeah! This is like, half of the thrill!"
"Well, I think--TT!" The ride was starting.
She laughed. "You okay? The ride always goes slow at the beginning."
"Y-yeah. I knew that." I gripped the bars harder.
Suddenly, the ride went faster and faster as it reached its first loop.
"AAAHHHH!" I screamed, terrified.
"Put your hands up, Onew!" She shouted at me and did so, laughing happily.
No way will I let go of this bar.
I don't want to die yet!
I screamed and screamed and she laughed happily.
To my relief, the ride slowed down. Thank God it's all over!
Hey wait—WAIT!
The ride was beginning to crawl slowly backwards, until it reached the very top of the other end of the course.
And our backs were up, up, up facing the sky.
"NO! NO! I WANT TO GET OFF!!!" I screamed.
"Onew!" Maki laughed hard.
"Quit joking around!"
"I DON'T WANT TO DIE YET!!! UMMA!!" I screamed to no end. And the ride started again.
I shut my eyes and screamed the whole time.
"Onew?" I felt someone tapping me.
"Huh?"
"It's over. Let's go." She stood up and quickly hopped out.
"It's over? Is it really over?" I asked.
"Yeah! Let's go!"
I hopped off the cursed ride, my knees buckling.
"You okay?" She grinned.
"Y-yeah. I'm okay."
"Good! Let's go on another!"
"Hey! Can I pick this time?" No way will I let her pick another extreme ride.
"Go ahead."
"Uhm...the ferris wheel?"
"Ooh! Yeah! Come on, let's go!" She tugged at my hand again.
When we reached the ride and got on it, I relaxed more. Whew. This is way better. Just sitting, enjoying the breeze.
"This is nice." I commented.
"Yeah." She gazed out at the scenery.
"I didn't know you like rides like that."
"Oh..I guess I just got excited. It's been a long time."
"Yeah." I inched closer to her. The ride stopped to allow the other passengers to get in.
She inched a little farther and I inched closer.
She kept on doing this and I kept on doing what I'm doing.
"Why are you moving away?"
"No, I'm not." She clutched her stomach.
"Yes, you are. Stop inching away. I'll just continue to close the gap." I told her directly.
She didn't say anything. So I did close the gap.
"Isn't this better?"
"Huh." She didn't look at me.
"We are on a date, you know." I reminded her.
"I knew that." She blushed.
I was about to hold her hand when she crossed her arms.
I sighed.
The ride started again and I actually saw her sigh in relief.
Why is she so nervous around me anyway?
"Hey!" she pointed to the scenery.
"We're so high up!" She smiled happily.
I took this opportunity and held her hand.
"Yeah. We are." I said nonchalantly.
I saw her look down at my hand.
"I'm scared of heights." I lied.
"Uh-huh." She cracked a smile, but she didn't let go of my hand.
I smiled.
I asked her various things throughout the whole ride.
I even asked her if she told Mika what we were doing.
"Uh...no. Not yet. Time constaints." She said and let go of my hand.
Hm?
"Oh, okay."
Time constraints? Am I suppose to believe that?
When the ride came to an end and we stepped out, I spotted the game I've always wanted to try.
'The Hit the Hammer Game'
"Hey, hey! Let's try that first!" I pulled on her hand.
"Would you like to try, son?" The elderly man who was manning the game asked me.
"Yes Ahjussi!" I fished out some coins and handed it to him.
He gave me the hammer and I readied myself. I looked up, I wonder if I could hit the bell?
"Careful, Onew!" Maki looked worried.
"Don't worry!" I slammed the hammer on the device and glanced up.
It only reached halfway.
"Darn!"
"Aw. That's okay! Nice tr--"
"One more try, please!" I gave the ahjussi more coins.
"One more?" Maki looked at me and made a face.
I just smiled at her and raised my hammer again.
Boy, was it heavy.
"Be careful!" She cautioned me again.
I slammed the hammer down and watched as my second hit increase a little higher than my first try.
"Okay...you're doing better. Let's g--"
"Last one." I fished out more coins and handed them to the ahjussi.
Maki didn't say anything.
"Promise. This is the last." I smiled at her.
"Don't hurt yourself." She narrowed her eyes at me.
I looked at the machine and stretched my hands and arms.
I have to hit it in the center if I want to hit the highest mark.
"Ready?" I looked at Maki.
"You're the one who's going to hit it." She made a face and I laughed.
I positioned myself and targeted the center.
Using every bit of my strength, I slammed the hammer down hard.
The machine tilted and made sounds.
"Yeah!" I punched my fists in the air.
"Hey! You did it!" Maki looked surprised.
"Nice work! And it only took you three tries!" The ahjussi congratulated me.
"What prize do you want?" He gestured to the stuff toys behind him.
I turned to Maki.
"Which one do you want?"
"Me?" She raised her eyebrows.
"Yes, you." I smiled.
There was a cow, a tiger, a raccoon, a frog and a...hey! it's a chicken!!
"Should I pick the chicken?" She mused at me.
But somehow, chicken didn't feel right at this point.
"No..
Pick the cow."
Somehow, the cow appealed to me more.
"The cow?" She looked at me in surprise.
"She'll have the cow, please."
The ahjussi looked at her for confirmation.
"The cow looks kinda cute." she shrugged and the ahjussi handed it to her.
She smiled and hugged it.
"Thank you, Onew."
I just smiled.
"It's my turn to pick a ride!" She said happily.
I gulped.
"Let's go on this one!" She pointed and I swallowed.
The log jam ride.
A ride that was just like the rollercoaster but this time, it goes down on high waterfalls.
"Are you sure that's what you want? We could go on the carousel." I suggested.
"Boring." She stared at it and tugged at my arm.
"Come on!"
"Food! Aren't you hungry?? Come on!" I tried to drag her away.
She hesitated.
"Onew...I don't think eating would be a good idea before we ride that." She stared at me.
"Y-yeah." I gulped again.
"Let's go."
"Don't worry, I'll protect you." She winked at me.
Did she just WINK?!
I smiled despite my fear.
"I should bring you here more often."
"Yes. And we should always ride the rollercoaster!" She looked excited.
Oops. Maybe that was a bad idea..
"Hey! It's closed!" She said disappointedly.
"Aigoo, thank goodness!"
She stared at me and I gave her a feeble smile.
"Looks like you lose your turn!" I said happily.
"That's not fair!" She pouted.
"All's fair in love and..dates." I grinned.
She scowled."Fine. You pick. Make sure it's good, though!"
"Of course!"
I know exactly which ride to pick.
MAKI'S POV
Onew lead me to another part of the theme park.
"This better not be the carousel."
"It's better." He assured me.
Then I saw where he led me.
"The Tunnel of Love?!" I asked in disbelief.
"Yeah. Come on!" He tugged at my hand.
"Uh..but.."
"It's my turn!" He reminded me and led me to the front line.
But when we got there...
CLOSED FOR REPAIRS.
"HA!" I said triumphantly.
"You lose your turn!"
He looked disappointed.
"How annoying."
"Don't feel bad. I lost my turn too, remember?" I smiled teasingly.
"That's not why I'm disappointed." He scowled.
I shrugged.
"My turn!"
"Hmm...Anchor's Away?" I grinned at him.
"No! Not another extreme ride." I heard him mutter under his breath.
I glanced at his face.
"Or..." I looked at him
"We could go for bumper cars..."
He looked visibly relieved.
"Bumper cars it is!" He quickly led me to the entrance.
I quickly picked a car and went to the driver's seat.
"Hey! I want to drive!" He pouted at me.
"No way, mister! Get your own car!" I laughed.
"Fine." He picked a green car and went to the driver's seat.
Soon enough, all the cars were taken and the ride started.
I quickly drove around. Onew, I noticed was following closely behind. But he wasn't bumping me though.
But another guy was.
He kept on bumping me until my car got stuck on the wall.
"Yah!" I frowned at him but he just laughed and continued on bumping.
"Hey! Quit on bumping her!" I looked back and saw that Onew was bumping his car on the side repeatedly.
"Fight like a man!" He shouted.
"Don't bump girls!"
The guy frowned at him.
"That's why it's called bumper cars!"
"Well you shouldn't target just one car! Don't you know the rules?" Bump, bump.
The guy backed his car up and I quickly rotated my car around and bumped him.
"You dork! This is what you get for picking on girls!" Bump, bump.
Hey, this is fun.
I grinned at Onew and he gave me a thumbs up.
Together, we kept on bumping the guy until his car was the one stuck to the wall.
We continued this until our time was up.
"Whew. We really got on his nerve huh?" Onew grinned at me.
"Yeah. Good job!" I grinned back.
"So...what should we do next?"
"I'm not sure.." I mumbled. It was getting a little late, it's 5:30pm already.
We continued to walk and really, I felt happy.
I didn't feel like myself.
Maybe because Onew brought me to the place my dad used to bring us, his family, when we were kids.
It just really brought back memories.
I glanced at Onew, he was whistling happily.
I smiled.
Should I or shouldn't I?
Well...this is my first date.
Even if it's a friendly one.
Ignoring the butterflies flying around my stomach again, I gingerly stepped closer to Onew and gently entwined my fingers to his.
ONEW'S POV
Okay, did we just really do a good job annoying that guy or what?
"So...what should we do next?" I asked.
"I'm not sure.." she mumbled.
So we just walked around.
I whistled happily.
We should really go out on dates more.
Like maybe everyday?
I was thinking about what we should do next when I felt her step closer to me.
Suddenly, she held my hand.
I looked at her in surprise.
Did she just do the first move?
But she didn't look at me. A smile was plastered on her face, though.
We should definitely go here everyday.
I don't care if I have to go on all those stupid extreme rides.
This is all worth it.
Smiling, I held her hand tighter.
MAKI'S POV
Okay...So I guess Onew's okay with my making the first move since he has this big silly smile on his face.
"Hey, you want to eat?" I spied some food stalls.
"Yeah. Come on!"
We went to the tteokbokki stall and ordered some.
"Here you go." I handed some bills to the vendor.
"Hey! What are you doing?" He was holding his wallet.
"Eating. Come on, I'm hungry."
We sat on the chairs and I began to eat.
"Hey, you should've let me paid for that."
"No." I continued to eat.
"Why not?"
I stared at him.
"Uhm, in case you don't remember, you promised me that you won't treat me anymore."
"I said that as friends, I won't treat you anymore."
I raised an eyebrow.
"We are friends."
"No we're not."
"Then what are we?"
"We're.."
"Frends?" I tried to give him the obvious answer.
"Dating." He grinned at me.
"We're on a date. Not dating, dating. That's.." I blushed, here comes the butterflies.
"Well, I like my term better." He reached for my hand again.
"It's kind of hard to eat this with one hand." I said awkwardly.
"But I can't eat without holding something." He lied.
"You're crazy." I shook my head, laughing.
But he didn't let go of my hand.
"I have a condition though."
"What is it?" He continued to eat with one hand.
"You have to let me pay for the food today." I look at him directly.
"Yeah, you just did. But I'll be faster in taking out my wallet next time." He warned.
After eating with a little difficulty since he really wouldn't let go of my hand, we started to walk again.
"Hey!" I pointed.
"Sushi!" I pulled him to the stall.
"Two orders please."
"Yeah, I'm still kinda hungry." He stared at the food and started to take out his wallet.
I quickly gave my money to the vendor.
"Here you go." I grabbed our orders and placed it on the table.
"Yah! You paid for that again!" He frowned.
"Yah, Mr. 2nd-In-Class, I think I just told you that I'll be paying for the food today." I reminded him and started to eat again.
"But..."
"Please. I want to go dutch. On our date."
"Go dutch?" He looked at me dubiously.
"Yes. And you can't say no." I sat closer to him and gave him my best smile.
"Okay, okay. You win." He huffed but then started to eat.
I smiled. This is more like it.
After eating our sushi and insisting on buying drinks, since he kept on saying that he should pay for the drinks since they're not food, they're beverages, we walked again.
“Hey, hey wait. Let's take a picture!” He brought out his phone.
He pulled me closer to him “Cheese!” He snapped.
“I wasn't ready! You're too fast!” I complained.
He laughed, staring at the picture. “Let's take another one then.” He placed an arm aroud my waist and we both smiled.
I glanced at him, he really has the nicest smile I've ever seen.
“Cheese!” Snap.
"Hey! What the heck are you doing here? You weren't looking at the camera!" He studied the picture.
I blinked. CAUGHT.
"Sorry. It's all this sun." I lied.
"The sun's not so bright anymore. It's almost 6pm." He stared at me.
"Let's take one again!" I took the phone from him quickly and pointed it to our faces. "Ready?" I smiled, making sure to look at the camera's focus.
"1, 2, 3!" Snap.
“Hey, this is nice.” He looked at the picture, smiling. “I'm making this my wallpaper.” He began to configure his phone.
We continued to walk again. Suddenly, I spied something...
"Dessert!" I said happily and ran to the ice cream stall.
"This counts as food." I told him immediately.
"Oh...uhm, I'm not hungry anymore."
He's clearly lying.
I ignored him and smiled at the vendor.
"Two please. One chocolate and one vanilla."
"Hey! I'm not--"
I turned to him.
"You like vanilla right? That's the flavor you bought when we were at the park."
The vendor handed me the ice cream and I paid for them.
"Here you go."
"I told you I wasn't hungry."
"Yes, you are. And you know what? You're not a very good liar either." I stuck out my tongue at him.
He laughed. "I'm not, huh?"
"Our kind should always stick together." I joked.
"I think we should always stick together." He smiled teasingly.
I turned away. Stupid butterflies.
After eating our icecreams and riding some more rides, it was about 7:30pm, Onew and I walked to the bus stop.
"Hey, wait for me here, okay?"
"Okay."
I watched him run back inside the park.
I wonder what he's going to do?
Oh, go to the restroom probably.
I sat on the bench infront of the bus stop and busied myself by reading the bus schedule.
After a few minutes, I saw him running to me, his hands behind his back.
He had a big smile on his face.
"What are you so happy about?"
"You didn't think I'd forget this, do you?" He suddenly produced a bouquet of flowers from his back.
"Huh." My mouth dropped open.
Was there a flower shop in there? I didn't notice.
He handed them to me and I blushed. Thank God it's night already. He probably couldn't see my red face.
"Thanks, Onew." I looked at the flowers, surprisingly though, they were artificial.
"Wow.." I didn't know what to say.
"There's a reason for that." He sat beside me.
"Oh."
"I'll tell you one day." He smiled.
"Okay." I said in a small voice.
Artificial or not, my butterflies sure are fooled.
Soon, the bus came and we went in.
This time, it's almost empty.
Before I sit, I handed him my share of the bus fare.
He shook his head and paid for the both of us so I secretly placed the money in his bag.
Whew. Am I tired!
But it was really fun.
The last thing I remember, Onew held my hand again and soon, I fell asleep.
ONEW'S POV
She didn't think I'd let her pay for the bus fare,did she?
The ride home was silent.
So out of habit, I held her hand again.
"Maki?"
She didn't answer.
I looked at her and saw that her eyes were closed and her breathing was even.
She's asleep.
I leaned her head on my shoulder and held her hand tighter.
I looked at the articial flowers I bought for her.
I really do have a perfect reason on why I bought them.
I just wish I can tell her sooner.
Gently, I kissed her forehead, hoping that this day will finally make it clear how I really feel about her.
But then, I really wouldn't mind spending a long time just to show her how I truly feel.
Even if it takes me a thousand dates.
