Mister Moose! The day he arrived and then yesterday.

These pica don’t do him justice. He is such a lovely shade of olive green, with some yellows in there as well.

[Moonbin’s POV]

I watched y/n as she removed her hands from the bicycle handles, lifting them in the air. The breeze tousled her hair. The sunlight highlighted her angelic features as she tilted her chin up to look at the sky.

Her eyes shut as she sighed, lips tugging into a small smile. I could watch this beautiful sight all day. We continued to ride our bikes, making our way to a nearby tteokbokki eatery, where we usually had our lunch.

I’ve always liked y/n.

The first time we met, her soft hazel eyes just seemed to capture me. The music in her voice always comforted me ; I fell in love with everything about her.

She gave me the hope I never had.

This simple action of cycling after school without a definite destination, spent in our private little bubble made everything feel surreal. We raised our arms in the air without a care in the world while our conversations and laughter filled the air.

Nothing else seemed to matter.

We halted our bikes and parked them outside the tteokbokki eatery.

I let out a snicker as I heard y/n’s stomach growl in hunger. She glared at me, hitting me on my chest.

“Let’s go, I’m starving!” she whined

“No shit,” I smirked.

“Ugh,” she rolled her eyes and grabbed my hand, rushing us.

We were engulfed by the strong aroma of food as soon as we stepped inside.

“Annyeonghaseyo!” We smiled as the lady greeted us warmly.

The little eatery didn’t seem all that fancy. It had a snug and warm atmosphere, making us feel at home.

We ordered the usual then sat at our spot at the back of the eatery.

“I can’t wait for our food to come” I pouted as my stomach churned loudly.

“No shit ~” Y/n mocked in a deep voice.

Right after teasing her, an ahjumma walked over and served us the tteokbokki along with two glasses of cold water then going to the table next to us to clean up.

I picked up the metal chopsticks and brought the tteokbokki towards y/n’s mouth and before she even takes a bite. I pulled back quickly and ate it instead.

[Y/n’s POV]

“Yah!” I smacked his arm lightly and pouted.

“Aigoo… You two look so cute together… Cherish each other okay…” The ahjumma grinned as she walked away.

I started blushing furiously and simultaneously, lowered my head to avoid Moonbin from noticing my now, super red face.

Tilting my head up a little. I realise that Moonbin was blushing as well.

“Aish this tteokbokki is really spicy,” he said whilst fanning himself.

“Pfft for a second, I actually thought you were blushing,” I mumbled before taking a bite of my tteokbokki.

“Ya it tastes the same. It’s not thaat spicy.”

“… Whatever,” he simply shrugged as he stuffed more tteokbokki in his mouth.

I just stared at him questioningly.

Noticing some tteokbokki sauce on his lips, moving closer I lifted my hand caressing his chin lightly. My thumb grazed over his lips gently wiping it away.

[Moonbin’s POV]

My heart stopped for a moment as I watched y/n shift closer to wipe the sauce off my lips.

Our faces were now a few inches apart. The tiny freckles she found ‘ugly’ were aligned like constellations speckled across her rosy cheeks and the bridge of her nose.

“Moonbin, is everything okay?” Y/n’s velvet voice disrupted my thoughts. I shook my head, suddenly realizing how I was staring at Y/n subconsciously.

“Technically, I’m not okay. Sitting in front of a pretty girl like you is certainly nerve wrecking and breath taking,” I chuckled, watching her cheeks flame up.

“Yeah as if I’m that pretty,” she snorted, not believing a thing I said. Simply dismissing the topic we continued eating whilst we talked. Time flew by quickly and before we knew it, we were already thanking the ahjumma and heading out of the cozy eatery.

[Y/n’s POV]

A cool gust of air fanned my face as soon as we stepped out. I looked at moonbin to see his hair all messily disheveled in different directions due to the wind. He looked at me clueless and unaware.

I mushed his cheeks together to keep his head in place as I fixed up his hair. I ruffled his hair, strands of hair falling in place.

“Perfect,” I said, poking the tip of his nose. A row of white tents caught my eyes from over Moonbin’s shoulders. Taking a step to the side of him to get a clearer view, I noticed colorful booths lined up inside with a small crowd of people looking around. Turning around, Moonbin follows my gaze.

“Mooonbin let’s go check out that flea market” I bursted excitedly, tugging at his sleeve. The faint music got louder as we approached the flea market.

[3rd Person’s POV]

Stepping inside, it was a though they were in another dimension. Smiling brightly, she turned back to grab his hand, pulling him closer towards her. Tugging him along, both of them went to get ice cream. Their surroundings were filled with fairy lights, making it seem like they were characters from a love story.

While indulging in her ice cream, she smeared a little on his cheek, giggling at his reaction. Pinching her nose, he then wiped off the ice cream on his face. She gave him a peck on his cheek before they continued their short little adventure at the flea market.

They walked through the flea market hand in hand when they came across a tiny, classic photo booth. Moonbin pulled the curtain open, letting y/n step in first. A wooden bench for two and a small camera attached to a screen on the other side was all that was in the booth. He inserted a note in the slot of the machine and sat next to her. The photobooth was so cramped, their bodies were pressed together. The heat radiating from each of them was comforting to both y/n and Moonbin. Y/n pressed the start button on the screen. The timer started, counting down from 3 to 1.

Moonbin held y/n by the waist, bringing them even closer. The both of them smiled sweetly at the camera before the camera gave out a bright flash that snapped the picture. The countdown started again. Moonbin made a double chin derp face while y/n stuck out her tongue, trying to contain her laughter. y/n made hearts with her fingers, making a cute face. Moonbin did the same but just before the camera took the picture, he swiftly leaned to kiss her on the cheek.

“Payback,” he whispered lowly in her ears.

She stared at him, completely caught off guard. He smirked devilishly as her face slowly turns red. The flash went off for the last time, disrupting the moment.

“We should collect our photos,” she spoke flusteredly, her face still tinted red.

He laughed at how his slight peck had left her in. Collecting the 2 strips of photos from the front of the booth, they both smiled widely at the photos in front of them. Moonbin was looking at y/n lovingly in all the pictures. He pointed to the last image on the strip, laughing hysterically at the priceless face y/n had. She gave him a playful push, hoping he would stop teasing her. Keeping the photos safely, they made their way to collect their bikes.

[Moonbin’s POV]

The autumn breeze caused the leaves to rustle in the branches vigorously, some of the leaves dropping. A red leaf fell lightly on y/n’s head, getting caught in her hair. I carefully picked out the dead leaf from her hair, tucking loose strands of hair behind her ear. Lifting her thin wrists, I placed the leaf in the palm of her hand. She started fidgeting with the stray leaf, a daze look in her eyes. I was going to ask what was on her mind but decided to ask her later.

“Let’s take the long route home, I have something to show you along the way,” I said smiling.

“What is it?” she questioned.

“It’s a surprise,” I beamed happily.Her face lit up at the word ‘surprise’.

“Hurry let’s go,” she said whilst getting on her bike.

The bike ride was much calmer and quiet, both us deep in thought. The silence comforting us. I couldn’t help feeling nervous. It’s been years and I’m finally going to confess to her about my feelings for her. The possibility of her liking me back made my heart explode out of chest but the possibility of rejection made me feel extremely devastated and heartbroken. I really hoped I wouldn’t be ruining our friendship.

There’s no turning back now, I can’t possibly keep this a secret from her forever. I have to tell her. I took a glimpse at y/n, her eyebrows were furrowed as she was deep in thought. I wondered for a moment, what she was thinking about.

The sun was setting, casting its golden rays upon the horizon of clouds as the both of us rode past Han River. I halted my bike at the abandoned street piano under the bridge. Y/n followed suit. I walked to the vintage piano slowly. Taking my time to collect myself. The piano bench creaked as I took my seat. Y/n sat beside me, watching me as I ran my fingers through the dusty keys. Despite the piano looking worn out on the outside, it still had the ability to produce beautiful music.

“Moonbin are you okay? You look nervous,” y/n spoke softly.

Nodding my head, I gave her a reassuring smile.

[Y/n’s POV]

He only replied me with a nod. I could tell he was nervous. I’ve never seen him play the piano in front of anyone before. He would usually practice in the piano room at school by himself. I tried reading his expression to figure out what was bothering him so much. Ever since the bike ride he has been looking so tensed.

I was worried for him. He took a deep breath before starting the song.

The melody and lyrics were exquisite from beginning to end, not missing a single key or sang the wrong lyric. He wrote a song dedicated to me. The lyrics had touched and captivated me. His alluring voice as he sang sincerely, meaning every word he sang. It gave me goosebumps because I felt as if his emotions had radiated on me. I had no words. No words could express how I was feeling.

All this while I thought that my liking for him was one sided. My insecurities too overwhelming for me to notice that he had liked me back. We had been there for each other through the darkest and brightest times. There had been rough patches in our friendship but that had only made our bond stronger.

“I like you y/n,” he said.

“When did you start developing feelings for me?” I asked while fidgeting with my fingers.

“The moment I saw you,” he said without hesitation. I thought about how it must’ve hurt for him to be bottling his feelings all this while. I held his hands, pulling him closer then kissing him.

Passion ; was what the kiss felt like. There was neither rush nor the attempts of dominating each other but instead, it was filled with emotions ; one that cannot be explained.

Pulling apart, we rested our foreheads against each other and I shyly whispered, “ I like you too”. With that four words leaving my mouth, I felt my legs off the ground ; now in his embrace, he spinned me in circles with a big grin on his face.

“Yah! It’s enough~ I’m getting dizzy already, jagiya~” I lightly smack him on the chest as I giggled.

“Alright… alright… yeobo~” he cooed as we started to head back, taking the path along the river whilst pushing our bikes along.

“Jagi! Look!” I pointed excitedly at the water show that is happening at Han River. I rested my head against his shoulder as he wrapped his arms around my waist while we enjoy the simple yet beautiful and colourful water show.

Just like that, I also hope that from the beginning till the end of our relationship would be simple yet beautiful.
