It was 5:15 in the afternoon. Classes were over, but there were still people inside the school because of the clubs and their activities. A cute boy named Lu Han had no more activities for the day, he just waited patiently on the roof, wondering who had asked him to meet there. The wind played with his messy brown hair while the clouds threatened to let fall a heavy rain anytime soon.

He read the note in his hands one more time and let out a sigh. He had been waiting for five minutes, but he was already very nervous. Somebody really wanted to meet him, right? It wasn't a prank, was it?

He turned around when he heard the sound of the door that lead to the rooftop opening, and his heart skipped a beat when he saw his best friend walking towards him.

"Hi, Lu Han."

"Se Hun? Are you the one who wanted to meet me here?"

"Yes. There's something I need to tell you, Lu Han. It's something important that I can't hide anymore," said Se Hun, looking directly into the shorter boy's eyes.

"What is it?" asked Lu Han.

"I like you."

The black-haired boy looked away after saying those words that he couldn't keep any longer, and just waited for an answer. He needed to know about Lu Han's true feelings, no matter how much a rejection might hurt.

"Did you really had to ask me to meet you here for that?" he chuckled. "I know you like me, silly. I like you, too. You're my best friend, and I love to spend my time with you. Do you want to go and get some bubble tea now? Before we get trapped in the rain."

"No! Wait! You're not getting it, Lu Han," the taller one complained.

"Huh?"

"You're really slow sometimes," he laughed, and then got closer to Lu Han, until he could rest his hands over the other's shoulders. "Perhaps this will make it easier for you to understand what I mean."

One second later, Lu Han could feel his best friend's lips over his own. Time seemed to stop and freeze at that very instant. Was he dreaming? The most popular boy in school was kissing him!

But the most popular boy in school was his best friend… Why would he dream about sharing a kiss with his best friend? It didn't make sense. That was really happening.

"Se Hun…" He whispered after the other boy moved away a little.

"I like you, Lu Han. I mean, I really like you," said Se Hun with a smile. "I know this may seem weird to you since we have been friends for a very long time. However, I need to know… Do you feel the same way?"

"I…" He couldn't take his mind off that soft kiss. It had felt good, as if he needed it without knowing. "I think I do."

The first raindrops began to fall. Se Hun looked up to the sky and sighed.

"We should get going."

"Wait!"

The brown-haired boy shortened the distance between their bodies again, and this time, it was him the one who kissed Se Hun's lips. The taller kissed him back, closing his eyes and feeling warm inside.

"Lu Han…"

"This is very important, I wouldn't like the rain interrupting it," he explained.

"We can keep talking about this somewhere else. I don't want you to catch a cold."

Lu Han blushed, but ended up nodding and taking Se Hun's hand to leave the school's building at once.

"By the way… You stole my first kiss," the shorter confessed.

"Oh, really? I'm glad to hear that."

Before the rain got heavier, Se Hun and Lu Han managed to arrive safe and sound to the black-haired boy's house. The idea of getting bubble tea would have to wait for another day.

They talked about their feelings for hours, understanding each other and smiling inevitably. Lu Han finally realized that he felt the same for Se Hun, he was only confused and trying to convince himself that his feelings were normal in a strong friendship, but that they weren't love.

That's how it all began.
