You were sitting on your bed doing nothing special in particular one evening when you hear your phone go off across the room. You rush over to answer it without looking at the caller id.

"Hello?" You answer. Almost out of breath after running to get your phone, let's just say that you weren't in the greatest shape, it was the holidays so no one can really blame you.

"Hey~" A sweet voice filled your ear and you smiled.

"Ahh, Jongdae!" Jongdae laughs at the other side of the phone, your smile got even bigger after hearing his laugh.

"How are you doing, Gabriella? Are you good?" Hearing him call you by your name made you feel all warm and fuzzy inside and you couldn't help a slight blush creep up on your warm cheeks.

"I'm doing just good, why are you calling, what's up?" A sweet laugh can be heard from him in response to your question. Every time you would talk with Jongdae on the phone you always got extremely giggly, you couldn't help it though, he just made you so happy that you couldn't contain your feelings. You lay down on your bed again.

"Are you doing anything special today?" Totally ignoring your question he keeps asking you things. You glance over at the clock on your phone showing it was 4 pm. All you've been doing this week was laying on your bed so you nodded bit then realised that he couldn't see you.

"No not really." You answer a bit embarrassed. You can hear him grin through the phone.

"Good, I'll pick you up in an hour outside your house, okay?" You can even answer his question before he hangs up. You literally jump out of your bed rushing to the bathroom.

After finally being done with everything you sit down on your bed once again scrolling through instagram. Laughing at what your wonderful, amazing, super cool friend Hanna had tagged you in.

"Wow Hanna's pretty great." You mumble to yourself and you hear a knock on the door. You jog over to the door and open it carefully, seeing Jongdae standing there made you speechless. You stopped and looked at him, he looked so good. A big smile appear on Jongdae's face as he notice your stare. He pokes your cheek lightly and you come back to reality.

"Oh eh, hey-" You stumble upon your words and your face becomes red and you look down.

"Aish, come here, Gabriella. Let's get going~" He throws his arm around your shoulders and you two walk together down to the subway station to wait.

You still haven't confessed to Jongdae after knowing him for years, you two were such good friends that you didn't want to ruin it all with telling him your true feelings. But for each time you saw him your heart began to flutter more and more, you found it difficult to hold your feelings inside you but you had no other choice.

While finally getting on the subway you glance over at him with a slight troubled look, he's so handsome. He turn to look at you and laughs.

"What are we doing anyways?" You turn slightly while asking as if pretending like you weren't totally just checking him out. The two of you take a seat beside each other.

"You'll see." He winks at you and you look down at your fingertips laying on your knees.

After about 15 minutes the subway stops and you get out together. You walk up the stairs and turn left.

"A theme park?" You ask him and laugh. He nods, as you were about to start walking towards the gates he comes up to your side and offers his arm, you blush slightly and take it and the two of you walk in. Even though the two of you were just friends hanging out, you couldn't stop the butterflies in your stomach.

"Let's go!" He exclaims like a kid and you can't help but smile at how adorable he is.

"You're such a kid!" You lightly poke his cheek and he laughs.

"Of course, we're at a theme park, what do you expect?" You giggle at seeing him so excited about this. You look up ahead and point.

"Wow look, it's beautiful!" You look at all the colourful lights and tilt your head slightly, smiling. You notice Jongdae looking at something and you turn to him and he quickly looks away. What was he just looking at?

After walking around together for about two hours you feel how you get more and more comfortable around him as usual as each minute pass. Jongdae had been more close than usual tonight, he didn't leave your side for a whole two hours and you were locked with his arm, but you didn't complain.

Since it was autumn it was already dark outside so you pushed yourself closer to Jongdae to not lose him in the little crowd.

"Let's go over there!" You point at the trees lighten up by bright coloured fairy lights, or more like a little forest. Jongdae nods in agreement and you begin walking over there.

Lots of couples holding hands, kissing and taking pictures with one another were all over the place. After walking in silence around the trees for awhile Jongdae finally opens his mouth.

"Let's take a picture together as well!" Jongdae smiles and points at the couples taking pictures with each other and you nod.

"Ah, that's cute." Jongdae mumbles under his breath.

"People could mistake us for a couple." You comment and laugh a bit, he nods with a grin on his lips.

"Come let's sit down for a bit, we've been walking lots today." He points at a bench and grabs your arm gently and you just follow him.

While sitting beside him your hands brush together a couple of times and every time you felt your face flush red. You let your glance sweep over the beautiful coloured trees and a little sigh of happiness escape your lips and you smile.

Suddenly without any warning at all you feel something warm on your cold hand and you turn to look at it. Jongdae's hand is holding yours tightly. With a surprised expression you look up at him and is met with his face close to yours and a grin playing on his lips. You feel how hot your cheeks are which just makes you blush even more than before, this time you can't even try to hide it, he has obviously already seen it.

His eyes are fixed on your face as he's reading you like an open book.

"Do you like me?" He teases you.

"Uhm n-no..." You respond, he knows that you're lying and come even closer with his face just to make you say it. You purse your lips and he gets even closer, his lips can't be more than ten centimetres away from yours by now and you feel your heart beating fast.

"It seems like it." He whispers and a squeak escape your mouth when he grabs your waist and pulls your body closer to his.

"I-" You were just about to confess your real feeling to him after him basically making you but you get stop mid sentence by him pressing his soft lips against yours. You stop for a split second trying to understand what is happening right now. Jongdae's lips is against yours? Like, in a kiss?

He leans back and smile cutely at your expression. Your whole face is red and your mouth is slightly open in shock. And it's just then it clicks what just happened.

"Oh my god..." You stare at him and he laughs and throws his arms around you in a warm embrace, hiding his face in your neck and you feel his warm breathing. You smell his warm scent with your face pressed against his chest.

"I like you, no. I love you, Gabriella." Jongdae whispers against your ear and that sends shivers down your spine.

"Will you accept my confession, and be my girlfriend?" Jongdae lets go of you but his face is still close to yours.

"Of course." You can't really say anything more, you're still in shock and you can't really form any words correctly. Jongdae smiles brightly and hugs you again.

"I was so scared that you would reject me..." He whispers happily in your ear and holds you tighter. For the first time after you sat on the bench you move, you bring your arms up and hug him back tightly. You can't help but giggle and hide your face in his shirt breathing it in.

"When I first saw you after you just moved here, I just knew that..." He stops for a second and looks deeply into your eyes with a serious look on his face, holding your hands.

"-that I wouldn't be able to control my feelings for long..." A small smile from him makes the butterflies in your stomach to go crazy and you smile shyly back. Had he really had feelings for you that long?

"Really?" You ask tilting your head. He brings one hand up to your face and coups your face.

"Of course, I can't believe that you didn't notice at all. I was so close and personal with you, I always wanted to be close with you, always wanted you to hold my arm or hanging my arm over your shoulders..." He looks away and down. Is he blushing? Is he embarrassed? You always just assumed that he was one of those people that just was like that and didn't really pay much attention to it. But now when you think about it, he wasn't really like that with anyone else...

"Woah..." Is all you can answer, he keeps his head turns from you and you see your chance. You quickly lean forward and peck his cheek lightly. He looks back at you with red cheeks and you laugh. Seems like the roles have changed.

Walking together through the crowd once again but this time his arm is over your shoulders and holding your hand with the other. Your heart beating fast the whole time with a smile on your face.

"Excuse me!" You turn around to see a couple with the one calling after you having a phone in his hands.

"Yes?" You answer his, he extends his arm out to us with his phone.

"I'm sorry, but can you take a picture of us?" He asks and smiles a bit nodding at his girlfriend.

"Ah, yes. Give it to me." You take his phone for him and they hold each other while you take a couple of pictures.

"There you go." You smile at them and they thank you.

"I'll take one of you guys too." The girlfriend says and before you can reply Jongday gives his phone to them. He grabs your waist gently and smile sweetly at you, you smile back and slide your arms around his hips. He leans closer to you and you close your eyes, you feel his soft lips against your once again and your heartbeat speeds up again. Everything about him just made you happy, you loved every single thing about him.

You part and the other couple laughs as they give back Jongdae's phone, you thank them and they walk away. You look at the picture and grin.

"How adorable." You laugh and lean your head on Jongdae's shoulder.

"Are you tired, sweetie?" You nod at his question.

"Wait, 'sweetie'?" You smile at him and see him blush a bit. You slide your arms around him pressing your face in his shirt and giggle. He chuckles and hold you.

"Let's get home now, it's late." He grabs your hand and start walking to the exit you just follow him sleepily.

The two of you get to the entrance to the underground and take the escalator down. You shyly let your arms around Jongdae's waist and rest your cheek on his chest. He laughs and holds you close.

"You're so cute." He smiles down at you and squeeze you harder. You feel how people are watching you but you just hide your face in Jongdae's shirt not caring about them.

You enter the subway together and since it was pretty late there wasn't many people on there so you could sit almost wherever you wanted. You let your head rest on his shoulder when he takes a seat beside you. He smiles and grabs your hand.

"We're so cheesy..." You mumble half asleep and giggle. He hums in agreement.

It's so hard to think that all of this has really happened. You really didn't know that he had feelings for you, but he really had and that was basically a dream come true. Feeling the warmth from his body against yours just felt like a dream that you were about to wake up from.

"Yah, Gabriella." You hear someone whisper in your ear and you open your eyes and see Jongdae's gorgeous face close to yours.

"Wake up we're almost home." He eyesmiles at you and you nod stretching a little.

When you're walking home beside each other he turns to you with a smile on his face.

"You're beautiful." He says without any hesitation and you look shocked up at him. He laughs at your reaction and pinch your cheeks.

You reach the building you live in and he holds the door open for you and enter the elevator. It was quiet, but it wasn't an awkward silence, it was a very pleasant silence. He grabs your waist and pulls you against him and you let him, you were too tired to do anything else so you just hang your arms around his neck.

"Are you tired?" He asks again and you nod quietly, he then proceed to get you on his back and you can't help but smile.

"You're so sweet..." You whisper and he nods, grinning.

The doors open and he walks up to your door and holds his hand out.

"Keys?" You pick up the keys to your apartment from your little handbag and give them to him and he opens the door. With you still on his back he takes his shoes off and wonders over to your bedroom. He lays you down on the bed and takes your shoes off. You're half asleep already when he comes in once again and tucks you in under the blankets, just when he's about to walk out you grab his arm gently.

"Hm?" He looks down at you and smiles when he realises what you want. You close your eyes and feel him laying down beside you in the small bed made for one person. His hands slide around your waist and you grab his hands, holding them tight in yours.

And like that the two of you fall asleep. You never thought this dream would come true, but it did and you felt more loved than ever before.

That little kiss was a start of a beautiful relationship that lasted for a week, that then turned into months that then turned into years. And those were the happiest years, overflowing with love.
