A few days had passed since the two of you sorted out the problems and without any realization, the weekend came.

It was a bright and pleasant Saturday. Hyo Won didn’t go back to her hometown this time saying that she wanted to spend her time resting at your place. You were happy that she decided to stay over during this weekend since she always went to her hometown every weekend.

As usual, Hyo Won would be spending her time in the kitchen, preparing for the breakfast early in the morning. You had just woke up from your sleep and eventually headed to the kitchen. You sat down on a long stool beside the island counters, yawning, still with your eyes closed.

Hyo Won turned around, taking a break from cutting the fruits and spotted you nodding your head, obviously still in a sleepy mode. She chuckled and went closer. “If you’re still sleepy, you should go back to your room and spend your time with your comfy bed before you cover the entire counters with your drool.” She joked and pushed you up from the stool.

You groaned and groggily headed to the living room. She shook her head and resumed her previous work.

“Try this love meter now!” The lady on the TV screen beamed. You absent-mindedly stared at her with your half-closed eyes. After a while, you were knocked out on the sofa. It was not as comfortable as your bed but it was warm enough for you. Hyo Won peered at you from the kitchen and found you already lying on the sofa.

“Ding, Dong!”

The bell rang which made you wake up from your so called nap. You looked around as the bell rang again for the second time. You heard footsteps coming your way and immediately realized that it was Hyo Won’s. “I’ll get it!” You shouted, just enough to let her hear it. “You’re awake?” She glanced at you. You cheekily smiled and ran over to the door after the 3^rd ring came from the bell.

“Coming!”

You reached for one of the doorknobs and twisted it open, earning a click sound. You warily pulled the door bit by bit, trying to catch a glimpse of the visitor. Your eyes widened in surprise when you found L standing in front of you, beaming.

“Myungsoo? What brings you here?” You asked with a tilt of your head to the side. He gave you a small frown, “Aren’t you going to let your visitor come in first?” “Oh! Sorry.” You grinned.

“Looks like you’re happier now.” L flashed you a teasing smile. At the same time, Hyo Won poked her head from the kitchen door, “Who is it—” She stopped at the mid of her sentences, replacing them with a loud gasp.

“What are you doing here?!” She barked with a slight irritation. Surprised, L took a step back with slightly wide eyes yet didn’t bother to say something. You nervously glanced at them before butting in. “Okay! You two can stop now!” You faked a laugh but failed when your voice cracked a bit due to the tension.

Hyo Won gave L a look, “I was asking him. Why is he here? Is there something important to be discussed?” L looked at you in distress as if asking for your help. “Is it wrong for one of my friends to come and visit me during the weekends?” You shot back at the shocked Hyo Won. “~~~~~, don’t tell me you’re on his side now?!” She frowned in displeasure.

You shrugged, “And don’t tell me you’re offended over something so small? Come on, Hyo Won. You were the one who picked a fight in the first place.” “Betrayer!” She snapped and stomped back to the kitchen. You shook your head with a soft chuckle, “That’s Hyo Won to you.” L smiled.

“Oh right. So, what brings you here?” You asked for the 2^nd time. “Just wanna see you, that’s all.” He casually shrugged. “Let’s take a seat there, shall we?” You suggested. L nodded and followed you.

The two of you spent your time catching up with your recent stories until Hyo Won came, purposely disturbing your happy moments. “Ahem! Forgetting something, are you?” She shot you an accusing look. “What did I forget?” You asked with curiosity but mostly with a clueless look. She boiled in anger, “Oh now you’re leaving your own best friend for a new guy?! Oh my God! Unforgivable!”

“Hyo Won, don’t be a diva.” You shook your head. Your sense of humor had come back. She gasped in disbelief, “Han ~~~~~! Traitor!” You laughed and even dared to stick out your tongue to her playfully. She rolled her eyes.

L watched the two of you having your playful argument. A genuine smile spread upon his lips. *She becomes more playful by the time, unlike the old her. I’m happy for her.*

Time flew by quickly. It was already night time. L had gone home for half an hour ago. You stared at the outside atmosphere from the window in your room with a bored expression. Surprisingly, the night was filled with shiny stars along with the glowing moon.

You smiled unconsciously. The sky looked beautiful tonight. You were too preoccupied watching the dark yet perfect sky that you didn’t realize that someone was standing behind you.

“What are you looking at?”

You jumped in surprise and instantly looked behind you. “Hey.” He smiled. “Jiho oppa?” “Yes, I’m your Jiho oppa.” He gave you an amused smile. You giggled and soon replaced it with a serious look. “What are you doing here? When did you come in? Was it…from the door?” You threw him a wary look.

“Whoa. Slow down. I came in just now and no, I didn’t come in from the main door. I have my own way. And lastly, I came here to see you.” He flashed out his charming smile which could melt you on the inside. However, you kept your serious look that was attached onto your face.

“What do you mean by your own way? Mind telling me?” You folded your arms with a demanding look. “Aww, come on! I came here to see you and you still want to find out how I got into your house?” His face immediately fell. “Yes.” “Come on, ~~~~~.” He showed you his failed aegyo.

“Not working.” You gave him a bored look but deep inside, your lips were twitching madly to curve them into a smile. Despite his failed aegyo, he still looked amazingly cute.

“Please. Just this one time! I promise I’ll be using the main door next time!” He pleaded. Finally this time, you gave in with a heavy sigh, half disappointed and half satisfied. “What brings you here?” You continued questioning him.

“Like I told you, I came here to see you.” He repeated. “Oh.” You nodded, not convinced by his answer. You stared at him, looking straight into his eyes as if there was something that needed to be let out. Zico grew uncomfortable by your gaze and heaved out a deep sigh.

“Fine. I didn’t come here just to see you. I came here for another reason.” He confessed.

“Mind telling me what the reason is?”

“Damn girl, you’re really desperate.” He muttered. You gave him a look, “I turn into a desperate girl whenever there’s something wrong, you know.”

“Okay fine. Come here.” He waved you over to the bed. Compliantly, you climbed to your bed and sat beside him, facing Zico. He rummaged through his pocket, trying to find something. You curiously tried to peek but all you could see was only a sparkling object.

“What’s that, oppa?” You furrowed your eyebrows a bit to take a better look. Zico smiled, “A present for you.” He opened his tight grip and out came a familiar necklace dangling with its silver heart. Your eyes sparkled, “Isn’t that—” “Yes. The necklace you were staring at during our first date.” He finished with a grin.

“Y-you saw me staring at it?” You looked at Zico in disbelief and amazement. “You were too obvious.” He scratched his head sheepishly and handed you the necklace. “Aren’t you going to accept it?” He asked with a hint of an impatient tone in his voice. “Of course I would.” You beamed and took it, softly gazing at it.

Zico watched you with his loving eyes with a smile. *She looks beautiful tonight.* “How about I put that necklace on you?” He suggested. You nodded without a protest. He delicately took it from you as you turned around, enabling him to put it on you. He wrapped the shining necklace around your neck gently and clasped it together.

You turned around and gazed at the necklace while Zico just watched you. He couldn’t deny the fact that you looked so beautiful tonight. Again, just like last time, the urge to kiss you had come back into his head. As much as he wanted to lock it up again, he couldn’t do it like last time.

Just when you looked up to face him, he was already gazing you deeply with his glistening and mesmerizing eyes. You couldn’t look away or move at all. You just stayed still and slowly giving in, being swallowed by his enthralling eyes that shone in the dark.

Slowly but gently, he leaned closer. And before you knew it, he already claimed your lips. You were a bit surprised but eventually responded to his kiss and closed your eyes as your heart was bursting with colorful fireworks in happiness.

That night, the two of you shared your first kiss under thousands of shining stars and dim yet lovely moon.
