First Snow
The Universe of UsWe first met in high school, both my group and his clicked so well. Seeing him everyday was inevitable, at that time I still don’t know what love was.
He was in the school’s basketball team and a cheeky boy.
He rarely smiled, but with us, he was like the upend sunshine. We weren’t considered close, but we’re fine.
Our friends loved to tease us, but we were always laughing it off.
Us. We. Me and him.
Yoona and Jiyong.
By the end of high school, I felt that things were a little different. Jiyong was starting to appear around me more often, I rarely see him rushing off for his basketball training and everytime when I asked him, he would shrug his shoulders and said
“There’s no training today.”
Lying with his eyes wide open. The basketball court was just behind us and his friends were all shouting for his name.
“Liar.”
I stared at him and both of us broke into a common smile.

Days gone by and I was starting to feel that there was really something different between us.
Jiyong would casually grab onto my hands in campus, our friends around would start making teasing noises.

“Holding hands?”
“No friends hold hands like this. You better le-“
My sentence was cut off and this was what I heard.
“Yoong, look! It's snowing!”
I looked up, freckles of snow was falling little by little. It was the first snow of the year.
I looked at him and saw that he was smiling so widely. He once told me before, winter was his favourite season. He said he felt the best when he was walking in the snow.
That's when I thought I fell in love on the first snow.

On the same weekend, Jiyong called me out for a movie and since I’d got nothing on hands, I agreed readily.
I was wearing a white dress with little floral prints, wore my little black heels that I got for Christmas last year. Even though wearing dresses now didn't seem like a good idea.
It’s been a long time since I dressed up and this was what Jiyong said when he saw me.
“Wow, why are you like this?”
“Like what?”
“Nothing~ You looked really beautiful.”
“Stop lying, let’s go.”
I didn’t know until we got into the theatre, he got us a couple seat.
“What’s this?” I
