The sun was setting, and the view was too beautiful to be wasted. We decided to stay in the beach until the sun fully set. While staring at the sunset, I took a glimpse at Sungmin. He looked a hundred times more beautiful than before, with his soft, short hair flowing in synch with the sea breeze.

I wondered why he said yes to my confession. I was a nobody. Whenever I looked at the mirror, more often than not, I thought, “How could I be compatible with his beauty, his perfection?”

All my doubts faded away when Sungmin caught my gaze and said, “I love you. You know that, right? Stop doubting yourself. You’re perfect to me.”

“What?” I looked at him with confusion.

“Your gaze said it all.”

“Oh,” I replied stupidly. It was so embarrassing. Was I that obvious?

“So, do you love me, too?” he asked me with doubt evident in his voice.

I smiled at him. The best smile that I could muster. A smile that was only reserved for him.

“Of course! Stop doubting yourself. You’re perfect to me. I love you.”

“Cheater! That’s what I just said!” he replied childishly with an angry face and a pout in his lips.

Instead of feeling guilty, I just laughed at his cuteness. He could pout as much as he want, but his eyes would always give him away. He really was not that good at lying.

“Stop laughing! I’m really gonna get angry if you don’t stop.”

I tried to stop, but when I saw his frowning face, I couldn’t help but giggle. How could he stay so cute even when frowning? No wonder I loved him.

When I wasn’t able to stop, Sungmin used his final card. His eyes started watering, which made me panic despite knowing that he was just acting.

“Alright! Alright! I’m sorry! I won’t laugh again! I promise! Please stop crying.”

Almost immediately, Sungmin stopped crying and grinned widely like nothing happened.

“Ha! I knew you would fall for it!” he said with a wide, triumphant grin.

Now, it was my turn to pout. “Minnie, you know I can’t stand seeing you cry. Why do you always use that on me?”

He just pinched my cheeks like I was a little child throwing a tantrum for a petty reason. “Aigoo! My boyfriend is so cute! I know that you know that I only use that on you because that’s the only thing that works.”

“Not enough reason.”

“Enough reason for me.”

Sigh. What could I do? He was so stubborn. Didn’t he know that it pained my heart whenever I saw him cry? “Okay, but please don’t use that on me again. It hurts me, you know.”

“Alright, but don’t laugh at me like that again or else!” he exclaimed with a playful smile in his face.

As the sun set, we gazed at each other lovingly, our eyes never leaving the other’s face. We inched closer and closer to each other, and our lips finally met after waiting for what felt like an eternity. “But,” I thought to myself, “even for an eternity, a single kiss is worth waiting for.” We kissed for like an hour but which, in reality, was just five minutes. I kissed him a lot of times before, but this kiss had a different feel to it. I felt regret when we stopped; there was something somewhere deep in my mind that made me feel so, like this might be the last time. It was foolish, I know. But it made me uneasy.

I just tried to forget about it and focused on the beauty in front me.
