You've been playing with Jihoon's hair for almost ten minutes. He was resting up before continuing to practice with his friends. Everyone thinks you two are in a relationship but they don't understand how close you two are. You've been friends for your whole lives. Your moms have been best friends since they were in middle school so of course your friendship with Jihoon is different than others.

You made two small ponytails and laughed by how funny he looked. There were clips on your hair that you had taken off so you can put it on his hair.

"Having fun?", he asked.

"Not yet", you said before taking out your phone and took a picture of him.

"Now I am", you said, showing him the picture which showed a very surprised Jihoon.

"Erase that", he said.

"Nope. I think I'm gonna put it as my wallpaper", you said, making sure it stayed as your wallpaper.

"You're lucky I'm nice or else you would've had your phone in the toilet", he said.

"It's not that you're nice. You just like her more than us. He threw my phone out the window because I showed him a picture of when he was five. He was wearing a dinosaur costume", Seungkwan said as he tied his shoes.

"Aw I remember. He kept going 'rawr' to random people thinking he was scaring them", you laughed.

Jihoon rolled his eyes and playfully nudged you, causing you to nudge him back. You scooted back to lean against the wall, sitting next to him.

"I wanna sleep", he whined while resting his head on your shoulder.

"Well you still have another hour until all of you finish. I have to go take care of a few things", you said, patting his lap.

You stood up and grabbed your things. When you were out of sight, Jihoon's friends kept smirking.

"Just ask her out already", Hansol said.

"Seriously. Everyone else knows you two should be together except for the both of you. You guys are too clueless", Seungkwan said.

"Are we gonna keep talking or practice?", Jihoon said, standing up.

~~~

You were walking on the sidewalks as you noticed couples acting all lovey-dovey. There was one couple who were kissing each other, smiling as they stared into each other's eyes. You sighed and shook your head, realizing you probably won't ever have that.

After finishing some errands, you walked back to the building where Jihoon is at. When you arrived, everyone else was leaving, some giving Jihoon a thumbs up. He was sitting on the floor, stretching his arms.

"Hey, you're done?", Jihoon asked.

"Yeah. I didn't wanna go back home. Our moms are out shopping together so I didn't want to stay by myself", you said, sitting in front of him.

He leaned back onto his arms and rested his head back, staring up at the ceiling. You kept thinking about what people call 'love'. You've never experienced it romantically.

"Hey Jihoon, you've had your first kiss with the girl you dated right?", you asked, causing his head to shoot up.

"Yeah, why?", he asked.

"..how was it like?", you asked.

"Just a kiss. Do I regret it? I do. What's this about?", he asked, a bit more curious as he sat correctly.

"I don't know. I just wanna know how it feels to have a first kiss", you shrugged your shoulders.

"Well..not every first kiss is the same. So if I tell you mine was bad, you can't expect yours to be bad as well. And there's no such thing as one first kiss. You can have many first kisses. Just make sure you don't go around kissing random people", he chuckled.

"That can't happen if no one's interested in me. I'm 21 years old and no one has ever asked me out on a date, you know that....oh my god what if I die alone?", you gasped dramatically but sarcastically.

"You exaggerate too much", Jihoon chuckled and stood up, extending his arm so you could grab his hand but all you did was stare up at him and pout.

"Want ice cream?", he asked.

"Maybe...depends..", you said.

"I'll pay. Now get up before I carry you out of here", he said.

You smirked and just laid down on your back. Jihoon rolled his eyes and grabbed you by the ankles, carefully pulling you.

Your body was sliding across the floor as he pulled on your ankles. Your eyes were closed and your tongue was out, acting as if you were dead.

"Someone help. Jihoon has killed me", you said, waving your arms like crazy.

"If I killed you then why are you talking and moving?", he asked, shaking his head as a smile sprung onto his face.

"I'm a zombie. Now I'm gonna kill you", you said, raising your arms.

Jihoon chuckled and kept pulling you by the ankles. You took out your phone from your pocket and set it on camera mode. You faced it towards him and took pictures.

"Are you taking pictures of me?", he asked, stopping but still grabbing your ankles.

"No. I'm taking selfies", you said.

"Let me see", he said, motioning you to show him.

"No", you said, protecting your phone.

He let go of your ankles and tried grabbing your phone but you covered it. He began to tickle you, causing you to laugh but you kept protecting your phone. He accidentally tripped on your foot and fell on top of you, hit forehead hitting yours.

"Ow", you groaned while holding your forehead.

"Sorry", he chuckled while rubbing the spot he hit.

"You have a hard head. What is your skull made of? Cement?", you asked rhetorically.

You kept looking at him, wondering why he hasn't gotten up yet. Your eyes met his, your cheeks instantly turning red as he didn't look away. Your heart beating fast as if it's going to explode. His hand went up and slowly moved a piece of your hair from your face, caressing your cheek after doing so.

"Hey I forgot my- oops! I'm so sorry!", Seungkwan quickly covered his eyes as he entered the room and noticed the position you two were in.

Jihoon pushed himself off while clearing his throat. You sat up and scratched the back of your neck.

"I'm just Uh...getting my sweater", Seungkwan laughed awkwardly.

Before walking out, he turned back and waved, making it clear that he's leaving and not coming back. When he left, you felt uncomfortable. That's the first time you felt that way around Jihoon. Normally you're teasing him and making fun of him. But at that moment all you can feel is uncomfortable. Your heart wouldn't stop beating fast.

"(Y/n)", he called out.

You looked over at Jihoon to find him crossing his eyes while sticking out his tongue. A smile spread across your face, shaking your head.

"So do you want ice cream or not?", he asked.

"Are you still paying?", you asked.

"Yes I'm still paying", he chuckled and stood up.

You nodded and stood up as well. You were about to walk but Jihoon grabbed your wrist. He looked at you for a few seconds before turning around and bent his knees.

"Get on", he said.

"What? No way", you said.

"I'm not moving until you get on", he said, glancing over his shoulder.

"Okay fine. But look away", you said.

He did. You smirked and tip toes away from him towards the exit. You giggled and started running as he went after you.

After getting the ice cream, both of you walked along the sidewalk. You stopped on the edge of the pier and admired the sunset.

"Why did you get pistachio?", he asked.

"I love pistachio. And they didn't have he rainbow one", you said, enjoying your ice cream.

Jihoon kept looking at you, softly smiling as you made a pouty face while looking at your ice cream. You noticed he was looking at you.

"What?", you asked.

"Nothing", he shook his head and looked at the sunset.

A few minutes pass. Both of you were silent until you finished your ice cream. Jihoon offered you some of his but you said no.

"Vanilla is so plain", you said.

Jihoon tried not to smirk, throwing the small cup away into the trash nearby. He leaned against the railing and glanced over at you. You were to busy looking ahead. He scooted closer and nudged you. When you looked at him, he was looking the other way. You nudged him back.

"Stop it", he said.

"You did it first", you said nudging him again.

"Nudge me one more time. I dare you", he warned playfully.

"Or what? I'm not scared of you", you said, nudging him again.

He quickly got behind you and turned you around so you can face him. His arms trapped you but what made you stop breathing was him being less than five inches away from you. You can basically feel his breath against your skin.

"Are you scared now?", he smirked, realizing how much you were blushing.

You couldn't get yourself to say anything. Your hands were on his chest, shaking.

"Am I making you nervous?", he asked, noticing your hands.

"N-No. You just..haven't showered", you mumbled.

He laughed and leaned forward, stopping until he was centimeters away from you.

"Do I stink?", he asked.

"A little", you said.

"Does my breath stink?", he asked.

"No", you answered.

"Good", he smiled before connecting his lips with yours.

Your eyes widened, too shocked to move. He then quickly pulled away and touched his lips, having the same reaction as you. He stared at you for a few seconds before connecting his lips with yours once again, this time pushing you against the railing. His left hand was on your lower back while his right hand was on your cheek.

The kiss lasted about a minute before you had to pull away. Your faces were flushed and you were out of breath.

~~~

Jihoon decided to walk you home. Neither of you spoke as you walked along each other's side. You kept thinking about the kiss as did he. He kept glancing at you and wondering if he crossed the line. He didn't want things to be awkward between the two of you just because of a moment that you probably didn't want to happen, which he thought.

Right when you arrived on your porch, you looked over at Jihoon who was already staring at you. It looked like he wanted to say something from how much he was moving his hands.

"I should go in. I'm getting pretty tired", you said.

"Okay", he said.

As you took out your keys, Jihoon cleared his throat and watched as you opened the front door. You glanced back at him and noticed him softly smiling at you. You knew that if you stepped inside the house without figuring out what that kiss meant, you'll be confused for a really long time. You stepped back to standing front of him. His eyes never left yours. You leaned forward and quickly pecked his lips. The corner of his lip curled upward, his hand being placed on your lower back, pulling you closer to him so he can kiss you. And there goes that feeling again. It made you want to roll your eyes back. Finally after more than a few seconds, he pulled away and said,"Wow, now that's a first kiss."

You couldn't help but get embarrassed and dig your face onto the palms of your hands.

"So seems like this whole 'best friends' feeling is gone", you said.

"Not exactly. We can be a couple who are also best friends. Except these best friends will get to kiss every time they get the chance", Jihoon smirked and leaned forward but you just smacked his forehead.

"Ow! What was that for?", he asked.

"Payback", you smirked.

He chuckled and carried you into the house, throwing you on the couch before tickling you.  You were laughing out of control. For him to stop, you had to apologize in a way that satisfies him. You had to put your hands together and pout while talking in a baby voice. It made him cringe but he enjoyed it because it embarrasses you though you didn't care now as long as you two were having fun.
