Lee Moon Young turned around and said "Dal Dal are you coming or what?"
"I'll be right there, I just need to talk to Jae Gu about something." she replied innocently.
Lee Moon Young cast a suspicious look in Dal Dal's direction. She looked like she was about to go and drag Dal Dal down the hill with them until Queen per her hand on her arm.
"It's okay." Queen told Lee Moon Young. "Let her have this moment."
A little surprised, Lee Moon Young just nodded and they continued down toward the car.
"What is it sunbae?" Jae Gu asked her.
"Remember when you asked if there was anything you could do for me to let you know?" she said with a sly smile on her face.
"Well...uh, um, yes?" Jae Gu responded nervously.
"Don't worry silly, I'm not going to make you do anything too crazy." she said while biting her lip playfully.
"Song Jae Gu, I just want you to kiss me." "But… only if you actually want to." Dal Dal said, in a slightly sadder tone.
Jae Gu's face was suddenly a bright shade of red and he had trouble speaking.
Jae Gu gulped and said "I'm sorry, I'm pretty nervous since I don't have a lot of experience with this kind of thing…" he said to her.
"That's okay Jae Gu. I didn't mean to make you feel uncomfortable. You don't have to do it, don't worry about it." she told him reassuringly.
Until just recently, I've been oblivious to the fact that the girl standing right before me genuinely cares for me. She's the sweetest, prettiest girl I've ever seen. Why wouldn't I want to kiss her? Jae Gu thought to himself.
"No Dal Dal, I should have told you this sooner. You are beautiful and you make me happier whenever I'm around you. Of course I want to kiss you." Jae Gu tells her as he leans forward, putting his hand on her cheek.
Thinking she might be dreaming but not willing to take the chance, Dal Dal puts her hand on top of Jae Gu's and looks into his eyes.
Now it's Dal Dal's turn to blush as Dal Dal and Jae Gu lean in toward each other, eyes closed as their lips make contact.
Her lips are so soft! Jae Gu is thinking to himself.
His lips are so soft! Dal Dal thinks to herself.
After a moment, both of their soft lips release and Dal Dal is looking at Jae Gu with a dreamy smile on her face. Jae Gu's is just standing there with his eyes still closed and his lips still slightly pursed, a faraway look on his face.
Jaehyeong and Jaesom are watching the whole event unfold from inside and turn to each other to share a knowing nod and a fist bump.
"That was just perfect Jae Gu." Dal Dal tells him sweetly as he opens his eyes.
Overcome with loving emotion, Dal Dal gives him a final quick squeeze and says "Good night Jae Gu!" and runs off to catch up with Queen and Moon Young, but not before crashing and falling over a garbage can. "I'm okay! Bye Jae Guuuuu! See you tomorrow! I love you!"
All Jae Gu can do is wave goodbye to her, a rare smile on his usually serious face.
That girl is amazing, he thinks to himself. Why did it take this long for me to really see her?
Jae Gu then heads inside and tucks his brother and sister into bed, not noticing the huge grins on their faces as they get settled in.
He doesn't fall asleep right away, but when he does he has the happiest dream about a girl with tiger ears.
In her bed, miles away, Dal Dal Choi is sleeping with a big smile on her face, dreaming about the boy she fell in love with, who just might love her too...
