It's You

                                    

                                          
I remembered him as clear as the summer sky. 
                          
He's got that unique look in his face as he stared at me 
                          
with his lopsided smile.
                          
His eyes are sparkling with glee matching the sun rays.
                          
Suddenly he looks at me, I forgot to breathe.
                          
The way he stares frozen me to my place.
                          
Big clouds hide the scorching sun in a split second and before I knew it
                          
he's already taking steps toward me.
                          
"Hey", he said
                          
"Hi", I answered
                          
"You look cute in your ribbons." he complimented.
                          
I smiled, I think I even blushed.
                          
His friends called for him to play ball,
                          
He nods to them and winks at me before leaving.
                          
"I'll see you around", and there he goes.
                          
He walks like a model in his summer shirt with open buttons,

                          
I counted up to three inside my head,
                          
Hoping he'll look back and wave one last time
                          
When the count strike to one,
                          
He turns and covered his eyes against the spiteful sun,
                          
And a playful wink and a teasing smile fills up his face,
                          
Like a protagonist in an anime series where the scene glows and all you can see is him.
                          
I'm mesmerized, captivated even.
                          
Geez, he's playing with my heart and here I am, defenseless.
                          
As I stared at his retreating back, I hug my knees closer and heave a sigh.
                          
How could a guy equipped with handsomeness and oozing of charms exist?
                          
It's a danger and a grace at the same time.
                          
"If you call out my name out of the blue, you'll be mine."
                          
I whispered to myself.
                          
He served the ball to opposing team and scored,
                          
They all cheered gleefully and then suddenly;
                          
"Jihyo, did you see that?!" he yelled.
                          
That caught me off guard, I didn't expect it to come.
                          
But he's still wearing a big smile on his face, humoring me.
                          
Before I even realize it, my feet are already moving towards him.
                          
My eyes are fixed with his and he's staring back at me too.
                          
I walk with confidence ignoring the people around.
                          
I can hear a faint sound in the background, his friends laughing and the waves crashing to the shore,
                          
But none of it mattered.
                          
A small, teasing smile curved to my lips and he did too.
                          
I stood still in front of him for three whole seconds that feels like a thousand years.
                          
My hand moves on its own accord, 
                          
touching his face and crawls down to his nape to pull him closer.
                          
I tiptoed to bridge the gap in between,
                          
and it feels so right.
                          
A moment that belongs to only the two of us.
                          
A timezone that only us exists.
                          
At the right moment, his arms snake around me for support.
                          
We kissed.
                          
There, under the bright sky, next to the sea, above the white sand, surrounded by whistling friends.
                          
And we don't care at all.
                          
I pull away a little to catch my breath but he put his forehead next to mine for a closer distance.
                          
I smiled.
                          
He smiled.
                          
"It's you, the one I like."
                          
I whispered.
                          
"Are you confessing to me, Jihyo?"

                          
"Nope, I'm claiming you. You're mine."
                          
And he laughs, his nonchalant laugh.
                          
That contagious laugh makes everyone feel happy alongside him.
                          
"I'm yours? What a fierce lady we have here."
                          
Then he kissed me again, a sweet teasing kind of kiss.
                          
It happened and ended so fast, I was not able to react properly,
                          
"I like fierce women the best. Say it again, will you?"
                          
"Which one?", I asked, bewildered.
                          
"To whom I belong?"
                          
"Mine, you are mine."
                          
And he lifts me up for a slow turn, 
                          
"Why do I feel at home? Fine, I'm yours. I'm all yours."
                          
"I'm hers!"
                          
He declared, and everyone roars with glee.
                          
He puts me down, and once again claimed my lips with his.
                          
Then, right there and then, we started to run away.
                          
Escaping everyone to find a place of ours, only the two of us.
                          
I remember laughing the whole time as he enclosed my hand with his.
                          
That one summer day, I bravely took my chance and got the love of my life.
                          
All it takes is a little sunshine, a little teasing smile, and a brave heart.
                          


                          


                          
"Yoongi, do you remember that day on this exact beach?"
                          
"The day you claimed me? Who will forget that? Not even the friends around us can forget that memorable day, Jihyo."
                          
"Right, a shy girl like me suddenly kissed the popular guy at school."
                          
"I'm glad you did."
                          
"Yeah, I'm glad I did too."
                          
"I love you."
                          
An affirmation both of them declared to each other. 
                          


                          
In that same seashore where all it began. 
                          
High school lovers, now a couple in their old times yet still loving each other like the first time.
                          


                          
"Yeah, I love you"
                          
together;
                          
"From that day, yesterday, today and tomorrow."
