Because it's my first time in love
W. Flower Seed
“Yoon Soo-hyun!!, Do you know how long I’ve been searching for you!?”
My legs gave out and I almost collapsed. Why, why are you here? And you were wearing our school uniform, too. I slowly looked Song Kang up and down. His name tag read "Song Kang." Sensing my gaze, he touched it and smiled.
“Does it suit you?”
“Huh?, Huh…”
They really do suit each other, but… I was so flustered by the situation that I just gaped at them, and a large hand cupped my cheeks. ‘You’re going to get caught anyway, so why don’t you just say something?’ My cheeks were swollen, and only then did I furrow my brow. Hey, you followed me again… I slapped his hand away and stroked his cheek with the back of my hand.
“…Really, it’s so gross.”
“Is that a compliment?”
“Does that sound like a compliment?”
“It could be a compliment, you know.” He shrugged. Anyway, he really doesn’t listen. I told him not to come like that just in case. And now, he followed me… Didn’t I say you can’t spit in a smiling face? I couldn’t say anything in front of that bright face, so instead of saying a few words, I expressed all my feelings with a sigh.
“I’m so angryDon't give up. You know you're the only one I have.”
Ah, those hazy eyes again. Song Kang was a fox. A fox who knew all too well that if he gave her those eyes, she couldn't help but fall for it. And again, I'll fall for it like this...
As I slowly nodded my head, just letting it slide today, I heard Song Kang's laughter leaking from above. ... His laughter is really so damn pretty. It's annoying.
“Talk. How long are you going to keep going?”
This time, a voice came from behind. Turning around, he saw V, arms crossed and expressionless, urging him on with his watch. Only then did Song Kang realize the presence of the other man, and he turned to face Taehyung.
“Taehyung, I’m sorry. We talked too much amongst ourselves, didn’t we? That guy…”
Just as I opened my mouth to introduce myself, the bell rang for class. Huh? That's right. Class!… I grabbed Taehyung's wrist in a hurry and turned toward the door. I shouted at Song Kang, who was blocking the door. 'Get out of the way, you're late for class!…'
“Huh?, Huh…”
Song Kang, who looked anxious, silently stepped aside from the door. Song Kang, who was watching her hurriedly descend the stairs, made eye contact with Taehyung, who was following her.
Hostility and hostility. Neither of them gave the other a friendly look.No one.
“Ha… I’m going crazy.”
When I got to class, thankfully the teacher was late, so I was able to cover up my tardiness. But the reason I'm still feeling this low is... the dang thing. Why does this damn thing make me so miserable? It made me so miserable that I forgot Song Kang had transferred.
Meanwhile, Taehyung still didn't look away. No matter how annoyed I was, I didn't want to tear out my hair in front of him, but the irritation was so strong that I reached for my hair again.
“Is that so hard?”
“Uh… It’s really difficult.”
I thought the problems would get easier if I transferred schools. But the numbers in my workbook were underlined in red. That was my arrogance. Even after transferring from a foreign language high school to a regular high school, math was still math. I couldn't seem to get it right.
"excuse me…"
Taehyung, who had been looking around as if filming a spy movie, quietly called out to me. He gestured for me to come closer, and I immediately lowered my head. Taehyung stood there for a while, seemingly hesitating, without saying anything. I turned my head slightly to look at him, and his lips caught my eye. His lips were trembling, as if he had something to say, but he was hesitating, wondering whether he should say it or not. Really. It wasn't that I wanted to see his lips, it was just that they really caught my eye.
We stared at each other for a long time. This time, I felt Taehyung's gaze, so I kept my gaze on him. Our eyes met. The air was awkward... Taehyung's expression was subtle, as if he sensed where I was looking. Embarrassed, I was about to duck my head. "Yoon Soohyun-." I heard a voice calling my name from the back door.
“Song Kang?”
Nice. The timing was good. The guy was so happy to see Kang-i that he wanted to kiss him right now.
Right then and there, I walked up to Song Kang, who was leaning against the back door. It clearly looked like he had something to say… but, really, I didn’t have to listen right now, right? Even if I didn’t listen now, there would be a chance later. I could clearly feel Taehyung’s gaze on the back of my head, but I decided to pretend not to notice for now. Right now… I was embarrassed. I just led Song Kang outside. My ears were burning, and I was anxious. I didn’t want him to think anything was wrong with my ears… I quickened my pace. Until half of him disappeared from my sight.
“……”

“The kid who spilled coffee on me a year ago, you call him a dog?”
I nodded weakly, sitting on a bench near the store. After hearing my explanation, Song Kang let out a sigh, "Ah..." as if remembering Taehyung's face. "Crazy, crazy." I continued to internally reproach myself. Knowing I was being stared at, why should I even look down at my lips? As I bit my lip, Song Kang's thumb slipped between them.
“Ugh, hey, what’s going on all of a sudden…”
“Because I bit my lip.”
Watching Song Kang casually insert his finger, Jae wiped his lips with his sleeve. How could he act so naturally and without hesitation, even though he'd never been in a relationship?…I wonder if she goes to some kind of dating academy. And don't you feel uneasy? I laughed, rubbing my lower lip with my saliva-covered thumb.
“That’s too bad. Were you telling me not to come here and make friends?”
"That's not it. We haven't even been friends for very long..."
Besides, even though we became close, there were still times when I felt awkward… and just thinking about it made me feel depressed.
Song Kang looked at Soo Hyun like that, and chewed the tender flesh inside his mouth. Why is he making that kind of expression? He doesn't even show that kind of expression to me easily... After I made a pitiful face, Soo Hyun made that kind of expression to me. And he's just doing it to that guy?... Just thinking about it made me feel bad. Song Kang suppressed his emotions as much as possible, raised the corners of his mouth as if he were normal, and asked.
“Then?, Then what is it?”
“I just wanted you to have friends other than me. So, that’s what it was… I didn’t really mean anything by it.”
I felt annoyed that Soo-hyun had decided to leave for such a trivial reason, but at least I felt relieved. Still, somehow, I didn't hate myself. Lying naturally on Soo-hyun's legs, I settled in, smiling innocently, knowing nothing about anything.
“Hey!… Song Kang, what are you doing!? What if the other kids look at you strangely?”
"It doesn't matter. And if that's the reason, don't do it again. I'll make sure you don't have to worry."
“Oh, okay. Okay. Now get up!”
Soo-hyun pushed her head hard. If anyone saw her at this time of day, with so many people passing by, strange rumors would surely spread. Song Kang seemed to resist a few times, but he finally got up. He could have taken Soo-hyun's lap, but he knew full well that doing so would be unacceptable.
“I used to do this often when I was young…”
“Is it the same now as when I was little? He still sounds like he’s reading a fairy tale book…”
Song Kang smiled naturally at Soo Hyun's tic-tac-toe. Caring about what other people thought meant he now considered himself a man. He tried to suppress the corners of his mouth from rising, but they refused to go down. Soo Hyun, who found it odd that he was smiling so brightly without doing anything, stood up from the bench, saying, "Why are you like that?" "So what if it looks weird? It feels so good." Song Kang followed Soo Hyun, but then suddenly stopped in his tracks.
“Oh, I remembered.”
"what?."
“I was wondering where I’d seen you before, and I saw you there. Party.”
Party? Song Kang added, seeing Soo Hyun's face as if he was trying to hear what she was saying. "Kim Taehyung, I mean. You said you saw him a year ago." Soo Hyun's expression changed. "Not a year ago, but again?" Song Kang recalled the party held two years ago.
"I saw that kid at a party. A gathering of all the companies."
“What did they say? My maternal grandfather was the chairman of V Group and my father was the chairman of the foreign company Tibli.”
Su-hyeon's expression changed from moment to moment. Confusion?... No, more than that, she seemed unsure of how to react.
“That kid. He was famous in America.A guy who plays with womenby."
"what?…"
"Most of the kids at school knew about it. So, wasn't that why you didn't go near it?"
Su-hyeon's thoughts shifted. Only then did she remember what Tae-hyung had said when he asked her to go out with him.
“I feel really uncomfortable here.”
So… that’s what you said?

It was hung on a banner and received a lot of love…
Haha, I'm a bit embarrassed.
Although my skills are lacking in many ways, if you all enjoy it, that alone is enough.
I will work hard in the future.
