“I saw two girls running towards the school. I smiled seeing the first one teasing the other one. I didn’t know why but

I wanted to know the first girl. Her smile captivate me. She is not fit, actually she is chubby, but she is so energetic

that I can’t take my eyes off her. she amaze me. I got lucky that she is in my class. “ yonghwa stared at her. yonghwa

smiled when she didn’t say anything like wanting to here more of his story. He sighed and continue. “believe it or not,

I liked you the first time I laid eyes on you Anna. But friendship, the friendship we had is so strong that I didn’t want it

to be tainted. So I watch over you as a friend. I tried my best to show you how much special you are to me. But when

you started avoiding me I became wary. I thought maybe I show it to you so much that you don’t like it, so I dated

others, for you to see that I don’t like you, or should I say I pretented not to like you. But you broke my heart the

night we have a conversation online. You said you will not like me. That’s when I thought I should not bother you

anymore. I… I..” “you avoided me instead” anna finished it he nods. “you see, when I heard that you will be leaving for

Canada, I went to your house but it’s empty, I thought you already left that I’m late, too late to confess my feelings,

Sunmi saw me and asked if I could walk her home. But she confessed to me, and kissed me, I ended up being with her

but it lasted just a month” yonghwa said. anna smiled and shook her head.

Anna just cant comprehend on his confession. He likes her for so long. “I saw you that night. You broke my heart so

many time yonghwa” anna admitted. “when you avoided me, you with sunmi, and that kiss on the light post. It broke

my heart. I have loved you for so long that even I had dated so many times before I still can’t forget you” anna

uttered. Yonghwa’s eyes widen he moved to her and hold her both hands. “chincha?” he asked. Anna nod. there’s no

way to hide it anymore. This is the guy she likes. God knows how hard she tried forgetting him but at the end he is

still the one that her heart wants. Yonghwa pulled her into a kiss again. a long passionate one this time. Anna is new

to this. Yes she dated but never did she allowed someone to kiss her innocent lips. Then they pulled to breathe anna

remembered something. “you say something about my first kiss,..” she asked embarrassed.  He smiled looking at her.

“remember when we watched the movie? When Yemi didn’t show up? You fell asleep inside the theater and I kissed

you,” he admitted scratching his head like a high school kid who’s being interrogated. Anna giggled and hit his arm.

“you sneaky..” “I Love you” he cut her. she was surprise. “bwo?” “I LOVE YOU SHIM ANNA, from the first time I saw

you till now that I saw you again, and believe me I will love you till forever” yonghwa said. putting her hands over his

chest. “can you feel that? my heart beats for you Anna” he continued. “Saranghae yonghwa. Since then when you

smiled at me until now that you offered your handkerchief to me” she smiled and pulled him on his collar to kiss him.

He chuckled while their lips are sealed. “yemi helped me a lot, she knows everything about my feelings for you, when

she said that you will be going back for her wedding, I filed an indefinite leave at my company, I wanted to see you

again, I wanted to confess and now I did I am relieved. I was afraid when I saw yemi’s cousin” anna laughed. “why

are you laughing?” yonghwa asked.”nothing, I just realized that we wasted so many years to confess with each other.

We got scared of loosing each other that if we just faced our fears we might me married for so long” anna said. “I

couldn’t agree more. But I know there’s a right timing for everything, maybe we needed to be apart to know that we

truly are meant to be” he said back hugging anna. “so, be ready Shim Anna because, I, Jung yonghwa will not leave

your side anymore.” Yonghwa said. anna smiled. “it is worth it, waiting for my happily ever after” anna uttered

resting her head on his chest.
