I was sitting all curled up in the living room with my head lowered, until I heard

the apartment door opening.

“What happened, babe?”

I didn’t respond and gave a deep sigh instead. He leaned in closer to see my

face. “Look at me.” He lifted my chin.

I looked away. I slapped his hand and removed it from my face. After that, I

stormed off to my room immediately, leaving him in shock.

He kept knocking on my door, but in vain. I wouldn’t open the door. “Hey,

please open the door...” He said with his puppy voice.

“Go away, Jihoon!” I said in a crying voice.

He panicked. “Huh? Why are you crying? Please let me in, I’ll help you...”

Gradually, I gave up, and opened the door. He cupped my cheeks in his hands

immediately and tried drying my tears.

“Okay, okay. Now, now. I’m here.” He comforted me.

I hugged him tightly while desperately crying. “Why can’t I be happy...?” I said

in a trembling voice.

“What do you mean, you can’t be happy? I’m here with you.”

I wiped my tears and sniffled. “I feel lonely and bored when you are not here...” I

pouted.

“Awww! You missed me?”

I nodded, looking down.

“Awww, you could’ve just told me that.”

“I wanted you to be happy and let you have fun with your friends...”

“But-” before he could complete, I cut him off. “I didn’t want to stop you from

socializing!” A tear dripped from my eye.

“I-” Not being able to complete, I lowered my head.

He sighed. “Listen, love. My friends will never ever replace you. You’ll always be

my one and only. And this is not the first time I say this...You’re the prettiest,

coolest, smartest, cutest girl I’ve ever seen. You are amazing and perfect the

way you are. So.. please don’t look down to yourself. I love you.”

I looked at him directly, meaning “is that true?” He smiled a bittersweet smile

and nodded. I jump-hugged him and cried in his arms.

“I’m so sorry for keeping you alone. I won’t do that anymore, I promise.” He

petted my back.

I let go of him and gave my pinky to him. “Pinky promise?” I beamed.

“Yes!” He wrapped his pinky with mine.

It felt like the happiest moment in my life. We were all smiles. I felt like that

happiest girl ever to know such a caring boy like Jihoon.

“Jihoon?”

“Hm?” He hummed.

“I love you!”

He looked at me in shock for seconds. “Awww, so do I!” He petted me and I

looked like a cat.

“My cute kitty! You’re so cute when I pet you! Do you want me to tickle you?

under your chin too?” He asked me but didn’t wait until I responded and did it. I

blushed hard cause I loved it.

“Awww, my baby! You’re all bwushy-bwushy now!”

Once he stopped, I glared at him with angry eyes. “I’ll make you pay!” I jumped

on him and buried him under the blanket. I then sat on top of him. “Hmph!

That’s what you deserve!” I crossed my arms and shook my head.

He screamed to ask me to let him out, but I didn’t care.

“H-hey...it’s so dawk in hewe...” he said with his puppy voice.

“Don’t fall for it, don’t you dare fall for it...!” I confronted myself and closed my

eyes.

He was making a scared puppy noise, that’s when I couldn’t handle it anymore.

“Park Jihoon!” I took off the blanket revealing his face.

“I’m sowwy.” He said in the softest voice I could ever hear, with a pleading face.

“J-Jihoon...” I was clearly pissed off. All I did was just look away and fake a

smile.

“Aaaaannnnnnng~” He whined like a little kid.

“Park Jihoon! When will you learn to act like a grown up?!” I confronted him.

“Nevewwww~”

Then, he suddenly pulled me close to him. “I wove you~”

“H-hey! Let go of me!” I couldn’t move back then; he had locked me in his arms.

I sighed as I stared at the ceiling blankly. When I turned back to Jihoon, he had

already fallen asleep. I couldn’t help but smile. He looked like a little kid,

sucking his thumb.

I caressed his hair. “I’m the luckiest girl ever to have a giant panda like him!” I

thought to myself.

He smiled in his sleep as if he heard what I said.

“I love him, he’s the best.” I closed my eyes to the sound of silence.
