-R A Y E O N-

A figure came out from the bathroom fully dressed in his usual clothes he wear at home while his hand dried his hair with a small towel hanging on his neck.

He came to me as soon as he saw me sitting on the floor near the power socket with a hair dryer on my lap as he sat in front of me waiting for me to dry his hair using the hair dryer.

I silently turned it on and leaned a bit to the front so I can have easy access to blow dry his hair when his hand suddenly helped me to put my hair to the back so it won't get on my view. I felt shivers through my spine yet I decided to just carry on and try to complete my mission.

"Care to tell me where did you slept last night?" my voice came out a bit hoarse as I cleared my throat and avoid gazes with him because my cheeks are starting to get hot.

"Don't worry I'm at Kai's place all along and I asked him not to tell you and I'm sorry for overreacting. About last time in the morning, I actually ran into Nana and she begged me to help her to make this someone believe that she actually is not interested in him and she already have someone because he kept on following her these time. I have to help her because she seemed scared and desperate so we got into act but I didn't know I fell for her tricks and turns out she was actually trying to show off infront of you and infront of that boy who just bullied me just now which is her boyfriend. She kept her secret of having a boyfriend all along and I just knew it too.I'm so sorry Rayeon-ah "He gave me a long explanation suddenly and apologized which made me burst into a laugh.

"it's okay, but you actually don't have to tell me the whole story that fast"

"And I'm sorry too for causing you trouble and got you suspended from school "he lowered down his head as I shook my head with a small smile before I patted his head.

"It's not your fault. I've been meaning to do that and now I did it so it's a once in a lifetime experience. Besides, it's not like it's the end of my life if I get suspended. It's just for a week, I can catch up with the topics and subjects you all learn and learn it fast because like I said, I've learned it in advanced before in my past life " I assured him and he nodded.

It's been a long time since we talked this comfortable and I finished hair drying his hair so I put it away and went to fetch a glass of water to quench my thirst.

Beomgyu came skipping to the kitchen, probably hungry because we haven't ate but I'm not even hungry so I just mind my own business while he searched for food in the fridge.

He paused and straightened his posture as he turned around to face me.

He is holding the slice of cake that I bought for him last time but didn't get the chance to give him.

I was speechless and purposely acted like I was choking from my water as I placed the glass of water down fast and sped up to his room to hide.

Face heated up and red like a tomato as I jumped up to bed and hid myself under the blanket.

Suddenly I am too embarrassed-

What was I thinking for requesting those words in the first place?

I heard the door creaked as my fist clenched to the end of the blanket and eyes shut hoping that's it's just a wind. I felt the bed shifted a bit as a weight was put beside me and it's not far but near.

"We're not having borders tonight, let me sing you to sleep because I know you aren't asleep. Can I... Uhm hug you?" Beomgyu's deep voice asked as I nodded, still hiding and before I knew it he laid beside me and his warmth started to surround me once his arms are around my stomach and my back touching his chest.

I was trying to keep my heartbeat to calm down because it's beating like insane right now that I could heard it thumping against my ears loud.

"When I see your faceThere's not a thing that I would change'Cause you're amazingJust the way you areAnd when you smileThe whole world stops and stares for a while'Cause girl, you're amazingJust the way you areYeah

Her lips, her lipsI could kiss them all day if she'd let meHer laugh, her laughShe hates, but I think it's so sexyShe's so beautiful and I tell her everydayOh, you know, you knowYou know I'd never ask you to changeIf perfect's what you're searchin' for, then just stay the sameSo don't even bother askin' if you look okayYou know I'll say

When I see your faceThere's not a thing that I would change'Cause you're amazingJust the way you areAnd when you smileThe whole world stops and stares for a while'Cause girl, you're amazingJust the way you are" he sang from the chorus and I could feel my eyes watered and I admit it, I am touched and surprised that this is the first time I listen to him sing.

"You're perfect, just the way you are so never change it okay? I could sing you this song everyday if I can so you would know that you're amazing just the way you are. Sleep tight my little lion, sleep early than me so I can visit you in your dreams"

.

Two days passed and I am already bored staying at home self studying, watching TV and play with my phone or sometimes I would ask Kai to come over because he's not a student so yea and as always, I would work my shift at night.

As usual, Beomgyu would often say this few words to me everytime he is about to leave me for school and even advised me not to come out wandering far for 'safety' so that's why I only ask the angel to come over instead of going to his place.

But today I decided to clean the whole place and dust every single thing so I can make him smile bright when he came in and also to surprise him.

"Darling, wait for me to come home okay? "he kissed my forehead and god, how I just love it when he did that.

I nodded and waved my hand as he walked away, going to school while I stay at home for a week. Well 5 days more but still.

I immediately went to work and while I'm at it, I turned the radio on so I won't get bored and so it would entertain me while I'm cleaning.

Hours went by and noon came as I am now almost finished my cleaning and what's left now is fixing the curtains properly.

"So on to next for our last song in the classics segment would be a song covered by The PussyCat dolls, Sway. Thank you for staying with us and hope you all have a great day and enjoy the last song!" the DJ announced in a cheery tone as I started to get excited and left the curtains to grab the broom near me.

It's a song that I always listened to back in my school days and I always listen to this everytime I am on duty to clean my old class alone after school so it's like my moment of glory to dance and sing or lip sync to the music alone without any disturbance.

"When marimba rhythms start to playDance with me, make me swayLike a lazy ocean hugs the shoreHold me close, sway me more

Like a flower bending in the breezeBend with me, sway with easeWhen we dance, you have a way with meStay with me, sway with me" I sang along and dance with the broom as like its my partner as I had the time of my lifetime and felt nostalgic because of this overwhelming feeling of having fun and being like the old me in my previous life.

I twirled around and my eyes enlarged when a pair of hand hold mine as the person helped me twirled before he led me to a dance together.

"You're back!" I exclaimed and chuckled as he stiffled a short laugh and nodded.

"Didn't expect to come home early but thanks to the teachers having an emergency meeting, they have to let us go home earlier and end the day. And as soon as I come home, I see a dancing lion so I gotta join the fun too "Beomgyu said as we both danced together following our feet and even laughed everytime we are near and if he twirled me around.

"Sway me now "we both sang in sync surprisingly before we pulled out from each other's embrace and clapped for our own spontaneous performance before he held my hand and gestured me to stand near the curtains and asked me to hold this beautiful tulip he brought home just now for who knows why.

"I'll take my camera for a while and you can open the windows so the breeze and sunlight would come in and open the curtains so it would float a bit because of the breeze. I'll tie it back don't worry. I'll be right back "

I didn't waste a minute or even a second to do what he asked me to and as if on cue, he arrived at the living room just after I was standing with the tulip in my hand as soon as I am done doing the mini tasks he assigned me to.

"Stand a bit closer to the curtains and lift the flower near your face. Turn your body to the side a bit and look at here. Yes honey that's it....now relax your body and smile like you are thinking something you treasure the most. If you're nervous, just look at me "he guided me gently as I got to my position when my mind suddenly was filled with our moments from the awkward first meeting until now.

That was the moment I realized that every single time we spent even our bad days are valuable as it caused me to curve up a smile.

A few seconds after that, the Polaroid rolled out slowly from the camera after being captured.

His beautiful pinkish lips curved into a smile as he took out a marker pen from his pocket and wrote something on the Polaroid.

A step forward was the second thing he did before he grabbed both my hands and held it before handing me the Polaroid that he turned it around so I won't see what he wrote on it.

We locked gazes and it was so hard to look away as I finally looked down and turned the Polaroid around.

Five words written...

Enough to make my heart fluttered as I lifted up my head with eyes glassy as ever.

Will you be my girlfriend?

"I really like you Rayeon-sshi-no, I love you and I don't remember when did I start falling for you and I've been attempting continuous times to confess every chance I get but it failed and now, I'm standing in front of you right now right here asking if you want to be my girl... My treasure. You can take time to think about it but I hope you'll tell me soon-"

"Beomgyu-ya, you don't need to ask because I will. I changed because of you so I can impress you as you really like the type of girl like Nana. I tried to reach your ideal type and act like her because I thought you like her since the beginning "the words rolled from my tongue smoothly as I am at the urge of crying and I could hear his low chuckle while he shook his head.

"Why would I love a beauty from the outside only when I have a beauty inside and out by my side who's there for me and helped me through it all. When it comes to you, you don't need to reach my ideal type because girl you reached it too high already even if you say you're nothing special "

In a flash, he out of the blues cupped my cheeks after dropping the marker and landed his lips at mine, connecting it as he fluttered his eyes shut, making some shadows below his eyes because of his lashes appeared as he did so.

The single tulip slipped from my hand but my hand is still gripping the Polaroid tight as I wrapped my arms around his neck and closed my eyes too, returning the kiss that I've been longing for all these time.

My stomach twisted and turned in a good way as my heart never missed the chance to beat fast as like I'm running on a treadmill.

Our lips danced together as we pulled out to catch our breathes but had our foreheads connected.

"I've been wanting to kiss this sweet looking lips of yours but I can only kiss your face. Oh how happy I am today and for the first time in my life, I am this happy and touched. That tulip actually symbolize something...perfect love or in other words, True love "He spoke in and happy voice but I could sense that his voice cracked a bit as he is starting to feel emotional.

I smiled more widely and pulled him in my embrace not forgetting to brush his hair a bit.

"Me too Gyu... Me too and thank you for the tulip"

I let him go from my hug so we can both see the future that the Polaroid is going to show as my eyes enlarged when the picture is showing something I haven't seen in a while.

"What's this place?" he wondered before I opened my mouth to tell him that familiar place.

"It's a living room. My living room in my house from my past life "

I was silent a while even he went silent too as you can hear a pin drop when an idea struck in my head like a lightning.

"Gyu, let's restart "I remarked and he gave me a questionable look.

"Let's restart our life and move to Seoul at my house after our graduation. We're going to start a new beginning and I can find my old identity too at the same time. Do you want to go with me?" I suggested and that's when I have the feeling that he's not going to give me the green light because he's going to need to leave all of the memories here.

"Why would I leave you alone moving to Seoul. Of course I'll go with you, for you and for us. I'm going to miss this place when we move out and all of the memories here at Daegu and all of our friends.. "he cheered me up and I can see him smiling trying to cover up his sadness so I need to take action and speak up.

"it's okay Beomgyu, I'm not forcing you afterall. I know you would feel your heart getting heavy so I won't force you to follow me. Besides, we can always visit each other if you're not ready "I held his hand and admire his eyes when he shook his head suddenly.

"No I'm ready for anything. We're starting a new life no matter what "

.

Seasons change as well as months passing by without realizing as we all shouted with a loud cheer and threw our graduation hats together after going through all of those night classes, tight schedule and countless revisions just for the biggest exam and we now finally graduated and yes our results were out too.

I was actually surprised that my grades are actually that good compared to the old me but despite of that I am proud of my old self too. Even the others did a great job with their exams too which was actually paying off all of our hard work.

The overwhelming feeling of freedom filled inside my body as the school bell rang since the graduation ceremony was held at the school main hall.

I went to my classroom and heaved up my bag from my seat and stared at it for awhile with a smile knowing that this would be my last time sitting here in the classroom and a highschool student.

"Yeon... "a voice cried as I turned around and saw Taehyun standing not far away looking at me with glassy eyes.

"Awe come on here you smol squirrel "I opened my arms for him and he bursted out crying as he ran to me when another guy came too.

"I want a hug too "Soobin whined as he hugged both of us and because of his tall height, we looked kinda small in his embrace as like we're his kids and he's the father.

We let go of each other and that's when Beomgyu came into my class waving at me with him smiling from ear to ear.

"Here, congratulations "He gave me a bouquet of red fresh roses as I held it after thanking him.

"Oh come on just say it you two are dating! It's obvious and where's my gift too? "Taehyun rolled his eyes playfully as Beomgyu gave both Soobin and him a single rose he hid.

"We're not dating tae, How many times do I have to glue those words in that big brain of yours "I groaned but smiled a bit though he is true but hiding our relationship would be  better since every happiness comes sadness or revenge from the other person you expect least.

"well my first flower from a person. I thought high school would be like high school musical or a love story. But I haven't received a single sticky note or what from anyone except from the teacher telling me to submit my homeworks" Soobin looked down pouting while stirring his leg as a hand clung onto his arm and looked at him with a big smile showing his teeth.

"I'll give you sticky notes then from now on to remind you to not play games until 3 am in my place "the newcomer Kai, said in a sarcastic voice before he rubbed Soobin's belly like he always do.

"It's time then "Beomgyu voiced out as all heads turned to him.

"RACE TO THE CAR! WHO'S THE LAST ONE HAS TO PAY DINNER TONIGHT, THE SECOND LAST WOULD BE PACKING THE WINNER'S LUGGAGE "Taehyun who's been silent out of the blues shouts and ran away from us as we all chased for him so we won't pay dinner.

Packing luggage you ask?

Yes it's finally time we're moving to Seoul and we're not alone, the others also followed as they all have their own purpose at there.

Taehyun wants to be a magician and start his business at there to entertain people and dreamt that he wanted to tour the whole world to make people smile and happy with his magic tricks. Soobin meanwhile wants to be a teacher and study more further and also open his own bakery because he once told us that he wants to give us free bread if we come and help with him.

Kai? Well he just... Follow. He's just a secret angel so he doesn't think much about his future but he sure already found a great place to stay at Seoul which he would share with both Soobin and Taehyun. And also its a place in the same neighborhood as my house that I claimed back.

How did I claim back? During my days when I was still suspended, I took my chance to ask Yeonjun if I can follow him to Seoul just to go to my previous house and I stayed at his place for two days and a night only since Beomgyu kept on complaining and telling me to be careful with Yeonjun from the other line since he doesn't really like Yeonjun for who knows why.

On those days, I was getting more closer to Yeonjun and he even brought me to many places to spend time together though I know most of it secretly. My house was located in my family's land and that house is actually mine completely and I once signed that no one or even a contractor can take that land or sell that house to others after my death which I didn't expected it to be sooner until it reaches 5 years. No one can enter since that house was really secured and only the one who knows the password was allowed.

And not even a whole year passes since my death so it means that the house is still mine.

About the password, well I put riddles under a flower vase which in secret contains a message that says the password. I'm a genius no offense.

Of course I forgot my own house password so I need to check that riddle out and I'm in luck that I immediately knew the answer.

I didn't get to explore more in the house but just at the living room as Yeonjun called me telling he'll pick me up to send me back to Daegu after he's finished with his private business at the public library.

Back to dear reality, now I'm standing with Beomgyu in front of my house's gates and tall walls that surrounds the whole land as I smiled and took his hand from his fingers to pull him closer to the gate where we'll supposed to put in the password.

Okay I've been story telling and POOF we're at Seoul with all our things and after settling all of it and went here right after waiting for the other boys and taking a rented van.

"Put in the password Gyu, I changed it last time and the password is related to our first meeting "I gestured him in a cheery voice because he's been speechless until now.

"Is this really your house? are you sure we're going to live here because this is too grand to even look and stay at, you must be mistaken "he shook his head looking at me trying to find the lies in my eyes but I'm not lying.

"This is my house. Our house now and our home. You always wanted a house, a car, a big TV and many more... Even a family. Those photographs you took off and hung on the wall last time are your dreams and I've been paying attention to it since the day I came in your house. I want to give you all of that and only a part of it I already grant for you. Remember my words to you when you took me in and trusted me? ' I'll help you out of the struggles in the process of finding your dream girl ' and here we are "I assured him and still can remember those polaroids he hung and the most memorable one is the drawing of a kid's drawing. It's actually a drawing of a happy family.

This time, his tears fell and he immediately broke into a hug thanking me continuously.

"I never thought you came into my life and changed me...you bring me so much memories and took care of me too. I just don't know how to thank god so much for bringing you to me "his voice muffled as he hiccuped a bit before I pull him away slowly from me and held both his shoulders.

"Now let's officially open the gate because I want to rest now and we have some work to do after this. Those guys are probably buying food for the barbeque tonight so let's tour the whole place and prepare the things for the barbeque. Go on and enter the password in "

He nodded and took a step forward whilst I hug his arm as he took a glance at me.

I gave him a signal to do it as he entered the password which I made my heart fluttered so much because he immediately recognized what I meant.

'Photograph '

To be continued...

-Preview for next chapter -

"we already have seperate rooms and seperate beds but why are you still waddling like a duck going to my bedroom?" I raised an eyebrow and he let out a big grin showing his teeth before he came closer to me.

"Because sleeping separately doesn't feel home to me "he answered in an innocent voice.

-

"Aigoo now smile for the camera Miss lion! I need to capture this moment so I can look at it and say 'Oh, my girl's first part time job after moving to Seoul is a sales person at the mall and I'm the barista working near there too!' " his eyes sparkled as he said that and I can't help but nod at him.

-

"Beomgyu-ya... How many polaroids are left with you? "
