"Sunoo.. Can I kiss you?"

Sunoo |

Ni-ki's question caught me off guard, and a surge of warmth rushed to my cheeks. My heart skipped a beat as I processed his words.

"Can I kiss you?"

I hadn't expected him to ask that, and yet, a part of me had secretly wished for this moment to come.

I had been grappling with my own feelings for Ni-ki, unsure if he felt the same way. But his question opened up a door of possibility, a chance to explore what lay beyond friendship.

With a shy smile, I met Ni-ki's gaze, my mind filled with a mixture of anticipation and consent, I nooded.

A flutter of butterflies danced in my stomach as Ni-ki closed the remaining distance between us. Time seemed to slow down as he leaned in, our lips inching closer.

And then, in a gentle and tender moment, our lips finally met. It was a soft and hesitant kiss, filled with the weight of unspoken emotions and the promise of something new. I could feel the warmth of Ni-ki's breath mingling with mine, his touch sending shivers down my spine.

In that moment, everything else faded away, and it was just the two of us, lost in the gentle embrace of our first kiss, and I cherished every second of it.

As we pulled away, our foreheads leaned against each other, our eyes still closed. The world around us seemed to come alive with newfound colors and sensations.

After our kiss, I couldn't help but notice a flicker of uncertainty in Ni-ki's eyes. He seemed hesitant, avoiding direct eye contact as if he was grappling with something internally. It made me wonder what was going through his mind, what doubts or fears he might be harboring.

I wanted to reach out to him, to ask him if everything was alright, but I decided to give him space. I respected that he might need time to process his emotions, just as I did. So, with a smile, I wished him a good night.

"Good night, Ni-ki," I said softly, my voice filled with warmth and understanding. "Take care."

Ni-ki nodded, his gaze still averted, and mumbled a quiet "Good night" in return. It broke my heart, seeing him so unsure, and I wished I would know whatever was bothering him.

As I entered my home, a mix of emotions swirled within me. Part of me was relieved, relishing the magic of our kiss, but another part of me felt sad, wondering if Ni-ki's uncertainty would affect our friendship.

I reminded myself to be patient, to give Ni-ki the space and time he needed. We had built a strong foundation of trust and understanding over time, and I hoped that with time, Ni-ki would open up and share whatever was weighing on his heart.

That night, as I lay in bed, I couldn't help but replay the events of the day in my mind. The kiss lingered on my lips, its sweetness etched into my memory. But alongside the joy, a subtle sense of worry persisted.

I knew I needed to share the events of the day with someone. The kiss, the mixed emotions, and Ni-ki's uncertain behavior weighed heavily on my mind. So, I grabbed my phone and decided to text Jungwon and Sunghoon.

I quickly typed out a message, sharing the news of the kiss and Ni-ki's behavior. I explained how uncertain and distant Ni-ki seemed after our intimate moment. I hit send, hoping that talking to my friends would provide some clarity and comfort.

Jungwon was the first to respond, his message filled with excitement and shock. He couldn't contain his happiness for me and applauded our courage to take that step. I couldn't help but smile as I read his words.
