"God! Stupid bags!!"

Grace raised her hands in frustration as she picked up the groceries that she bought just a little while ago.

She was lucky because the bagger from the grocery store made sure to double the bags or else she would be running around picking everything one by one.

After picking the items that fell one by one, she sighed for the 13th time that day and started the walk back to her apartment.

She was never interested in the nightlife, no matter how famous it was but she must admit, the colors look pretty.

It has not been that long since she moved there, around four months to be precise. As soon as she graduated from the Philippines, first thing she did was pack her bags and headed straight to South Korea.

Her life there wasn't all roses, but it was her dream, and she is going to do her darnest to make sure she lived it to the fullest.

"Just a few more steps" she mused...she smiled and imagined lying on the couch, replaying videos of MHL (her favorite boy group) while munching on popcorn.

Oof!! *Hits someone*

"I'm really sorry... I was in a hurry and l..."

Suddenly a pair of warm lips was on hers and her chinky eyes widened in surprise.

K-k-kiss... Someone's kissing her lips!

The kiss ended as soon as it started, and she then felt arms pulling her into a tight embrace.

Hot breath was on her neck and a beautiful baritone played on her ear, ''I promise to explain later but please follow my lead for now."

Grace felt himself nod though unsure of the reason why. She is a very cautious girl, but all that caution seemed to fly out of her the moment the mystery man breathed a thank you in her now red ear.

The two just stayed there... a stranger's arms on her body and grocery bags on either side of them.

After a few minutes (though it felt like hours based on her heart rate). Grace took the chance to look at the man who held her while said man was craning his neck to check around.

He was wearing a navy-blue hoodie and black skinny jeans with sneakers, a cap on his head and he had a brown leather backpack on his back. Grace then took in the flawless milky white skin, the stranger's strong neck and his pink plump lips...

"Those were on mine earlier... "Grace thought.

After releasing a relieved sigh, the stranger tilted his cap back and smiled at Grace showing his prized dimples. Grace's brown ones met the stranger's expressive pink ones and he smiled shyly.

"Thank you very much... You helped me a lot back there."

"U-uhm, I-it's no big deal."

The stranger held out his hand, "Mick."

Grace released the bag she was holding and wiped her hand on her jeans before grasping the offered hand, "Grace, nice to meet you!"

Mick chuckled and shook Grace's hand, "It's my pleasure Grace"

Grace turned redder and Mick thought the former was cute.

"Oops... I gotta go princess, thanks again... See you!!"

Mick gave Grace a quick peck on the lips before sprinting to another alley. Grace followed Mick with her eyes, hand slowly touching her lips,

"He called me princess..."

"Grace!"

Grace snapped out of her daze and turned to the direction of the voice... she smiled seeing her room mate and close friend... "Jaehyun!"

"Little bunny, what are you doing in the middle of the road?"

Grace looked around and noticed that her room mate was right, she was in the middle of the road to their shared apartment and some of their neighbors were looking at her weirdly.

She blushed and immediately picked up her groceries. "I-uh... I'm uh... m-my head just ached... that's right! Um...Jaehyun, let's go..."

Jaehyun raised an eyebrow and looked skeptically at the brown-haired girl who was smiling awkwardly... he took the bags his room mate was holding and whispered.

"Don't think I'm letting this go just like that. You must tell me everything when we get home."

The younger girl bit her lip and sighed in resignation as the two walked side by side to their shared apartment.
