Ara's POV.... "Play the piano?" I ask him, wanting to believe that I misheard what he said. Ever since my piano lessons came to an end, I've been playing the piano by myself and practicing alone. I didn't thought that Junghwa would actually want to play the piano together, without any lessons involved. "Yeah," Junghwa says. "It's been a while since I lay my fingers on it." Hearing that, my lips remained silent for a moment, as I took this small chance to consider what he just said. Thinking of the lessons we had together gave me a nostalgic feeling. I couldn't lie that those days were quite fun that I do find myself missing the times we would practice the piano together. Being honest with myself right now, I do want to play the piano again, along with him, my so-called ex tutor, Jay Hwang Junghwa. "I guess, alright," I say. Hearing that, Junghwa's lips forms a smile as he slowly walks closer to me, making the inches between us a bit smaller, and of course, making my heart skipped a beat for second. An hour later.... At Matt's house... Zach decided to visit Matt's house to return a comic book he had borrowed three weeks ago. He kept forgetting to return it at school, and so he came back home and decided to pay him a visit, and also gave him some muffins his mom had baked earlier. "I almost consider giving you that comic book though," Matt says. "Believe me when I said I wanted to return it earlier," Zach says in a rather awkward tone as he sits on Matt's couch in his room. Matt chuckles. "I was just being sarcastic. Anyway, thanks for muffins." "Don't mention it, Brother," Zach says. "So how are you and Kate?" "We're cool, everything's good," Matt says. "And you? How are you and Ara?" Hearing that, Zach forms a shy smile as he shifts his gaze to the ground, while awkwardly scratching the back of his head. Everytime the thought of Ara comes crossing inside his head, he couldn't help but feel an odd yet lovely feeling inside of him. The thought of the beautiful girl with long black hair and dark brown eyes never fail to get all his attention, making his mind go wild, and his heart going crazy. Even though they are currently just friends, he found falling in love with her to be the most beautiful feeling he ever experienced. "Cool, I guess," Zach says in a chill tone. Matt chuckles. "I guess you guys really made it." "What do you mean, Bro?" Zach asks. "The pretending to be a couple thing," Matt says. "Looks like you eventually became a real couple. Cool." Hearing that, Zach only lets out a chuckle at Matt's statement. He figured his friend was just trying to bring up a bright topic, though deep down it kinda reminded him of what his current relationship with Ara really is. Maybe he had been playing his role too well, that now Matt actually thought that the two had become a real, when Ara is actually still trying to forget about her one-sided feelings towards Junghwa. 6:48 PM... At Junghwa's house... After finishing all their homeworks, Ara and Junghwa decided to play the piano together, trying to play some new songs, and sometimes they would even add some minor singings in between. Through out their piano date, Ara had took some small chances to admire Junghwa's side features from time to time, of course, all of that without his notice. His sharp jawline still got her amazed, along with his deep facial expression when he plays the piano. She remembered that during the start of her lessons, he would often remind her about memorising the keys from the heart. Before she was struggling to understand what he meant, but after a few months, now she eventually realized what the boy truly meant. That sometimes, the most memorable memory is not one that's kept in the head, but in the heart. "That was nice," Junghwa says as he puts his hands down to his lap, as he finished playing the last song on his playlist. "Yeah," Ara says, with her head still looking at Junghwa's direction from the side. Again letting herself get lost in his charms. Junghwa turns his head to Ara, only to see that her sparkling brown eyes had been staring at him for a while. Like getting enchanted by a magical spell, Junghwa feels his vision getting lost inside Ara's brown eyes, as he studies the girl's charming gaze. Junghwa's POV... I didn't expect to see Ara staring at me from the side. Yet, when I did caught her having her eyes on me, I couldn't help but stare back into her alluring brown eyes, which I found her gaze to be, somehow, more attractive tonight. It's kind of funny for me, since I never really studied Ara's face in the most detailed way, despite being her friend for quite a while. Studying her charm right now, starting from her sparkling eyes, I've come to realize that despite her sassy and rebelious aura, she has a beautiful, elegant face which could be both attractive and charming at the same time. Other than her sparkling brown eyes, her heart-shaped lips goes perfectly with her lovely face. I noticed that she has a very strong feminine vibe from her aura, despite behaving like she could be half boy at some points. Man, it's kind of weird that I just noticed that about her, maybe since I've been treating her like half a brother, half a sister type of friend. Back then, her tomboyish side was quite strong. At least, I used to think of her that way, maybe since she prefered skateboards and sports other than ballet. Pretty much that's the reason she quit ballet lessons in her middle school years. It was not her passion, and she didn't have the love for it like she have for the piano. My gaze slowly trails down to her lips. Yeah, the heart-shaped lips I thought of just now. Perfect size and perfect shaped, my mind starts to travel at thoughts I probably shouldn't be thinking of. Damn it, Jay Hwang, did it really took you this long for you to realize that you have a gorgeous best friend all this time? Why did you only have to realize that tonight? Man, she's gonna think I'm a total freak if she knew about all my inapprorpriate thoughts just now. Screaming inside the deepest part of my heart, right now, is the feeling of actually having the desire of attraction towards the feisty girl, Kim Ara. "Junghwa? Are you ok?" Her words tinkles through my ears. Yet, I didn't feel like I wanted to give her an answer to her question. Not that I'm acting rude, but as the desire in my heart starts getting stronger, I found it hard to just describe things with words. A small pinch of impulsive desire starts running inside of me, hence making my heart beat to skip faster. With the burning desire getting more crazy, slowly I let my impulsive get closer to my best friend, as I now close the inches between us. I could see her eyes starting to get wider at my action. "Junghwa, what are you-" I didn't let her finish her sentence. With the desire rushing crazy inside of me, my impulsive heart pushed myself to let my lips touch hers, hence letting out all my feelings through a kiss with her. To be continue...
