BAO'S POV:

After a while, I left her house with my brother in the back of my car.

"Mianhaeyo*" I stutter.

He glared at me.

I wonder what Ae-cha's doing now.

"I didn't mean to leave you in the car the whole time! I-I forgot!"

"Yeah, having fun with your little girlfriend? Enjoy it while you can, you idiot." He growls.

I blush.

"She's not my girlfriend. She's . . She's my friend!"

He rolls his eyes and I start driving.

Some bozo almost hits my car!

As I enter my house, my cat, Dewdrop, a snowy white molly, rushes up and rubs her little head against my legs.

My roommate, and my best friend, Iseul, hugs me.

She's about 20 and she's very pretty.

She has silky, long black hair, and gorgeous blue eyes.

Her pajamas are made of silk, and look as if she is sleeping with and ocean rapped around her.

Her pretty smile turns to a frown as she notices me staring at her.

"Bao? Is something wrong?" She mutters, obviously concerned. "Why were you gone so long? Were you . ." She smirks, "on another date?"

I jerk my hand, then blush vigorously. The more I stare at her, the more . .

"No, I'm fine. Iseul, umm, maybe we can sleep in the same bed? N-not as something romantic I just . . I'm feeling lonely." I say

Her eyes glitter. Then she smiles her sweet smile.

"Of course Bao, I'd do anything for you."

I blush more. W-why?!

We both are tucked in neatly in my bed, watching a great movie, when I pause it. The lights are off, but the TV shines enough light for me to see her. I clutch her hand, and scoot closer.

She chuckles. I then get closer until we are kissing. She happily goes closer.

At 1:05 AM, we have been enjoying each other.

She gets up and pulls the cover more up since she's cold, and I do the same.

"Oh Bao," Her face is red, and her body is shivering.

"Bao? We've been doing this every night for about 2 months now, and I've been meaning to ask you . ." She inhales deeply. "Will you be my boyfriend?"

I gasp, then stutter.

"I-I . . Well, I—"
