It was 8 pm and Jae was standing nervously in front of Brian's front-door. Should he ring the doorbell? Isn't he too early? Jae looked on his phone. Exactly eight pm. What if Brian thought he was weird because he was exactly on time? Should he wait? No. Then he will think he's too late. Jae sighed and he was still debating when an older woman opened the door.
"Oh, I guess you're one of Younghyun's friends." Jae's eyes widened.
"Younghyun? No, I'm really sorry I think this is the wrong address," he said. Jae wanted to turn around again, but Brian came off the stairs to see who his mother was talking to.
"Jae? Come inside!" Brian said.
"Younghyun, you didn't tell me someone came over."
"I'm sorry mom. Mom, this is Jae. Jae, this is my mom. Mrs. Park." Jae nodded. He shook Mrs. Kang hand.

"So, this is my room," Brian said. They both stepped inside the big bedroom of Brian.
"Wow."
"Wow?"
"It's big." Brian laughed.
"That's what she said." Jae snorted.
"But seriously, my room is like, a quarter of all this." Brian shrugged and he sat down on his bed.
"You got the poster?" he asked. Jae nodded furiously. He let his backpack slide down from his back and pulled out a nicely rolled poster.
"Yeah. Otherwise, I would not have shown up." He laughed and threw the poster at Brian. It landed beside him.
"Thanks."
"And now..."
"And now?"
"Now you should help me with my social skills." Brian nodded. He looked Jae straight in the eyes.
"Sure. Sit down." Jae obeyed and sat down beside Brian. "Now relax. Just talk okay. I'm your friend. You don't need to feel so stressed."
"I'm not stressed."
"Well, your body is tense. You should loosen up. Are you always this tense." Jae shrugged. He's only so tense since he's literally beside his long-time-crush. "Just relax," Brian repeated. He laid his hands on Jae's shoulders to push them down.
"What are you doing?" Jae said quietly.
"Trying to make you more relaxed. Dude, you want girls right. They want to see the real you. They want to see you like it when you're with them." Jae nodded. He breathed in deeply and relaxed his body. "Good job."
"And now?"
"Just talk about something. Be yourself. What do you normally talk about with friends?"
"Everything. It's never really one thing."
"Well say something."
"What do you talk about with friends?"
"Most of the time music. Sometimes people-"
"Have you ever talked about me?" Brian blushed. Jae never saw Brian blush before.
"I have. Don't worry, it wasn't anything negative."
"I have also talked about you." Before Jae could stop himself, he already said it. The words had already been spoken. He wanted to die. "I-I'm sorry!" he blurted out. "This is why I need to work on my social skills, you know?" There was a silence, followed by hard laughter of Brian.
"Jae, you're such a dork!"

"You have never kissed someone?" Brian's eyes widened. They were walking on the streets on their way to Jae's home. Jae refused the offer, but Brian was too stubborn and still wanted to walk him home.
"I don't. So?"
"No, I'm just surprised, like you will go to college next year, and you have never kissed someone." Jae just shrugged.
"This is my house," he said. They stopped in front of a small house.
"Jae, wait." Brian grabbed Jae's hands. "I already have had my first kiss and it was shitty as fuck. I don't want your first kiss to be like that too." Jae frowned.
"What do you-" His sentence was cut off by Brian's lips pressing against his. Jae didn't push him away. He did the opposite. He wrapped his arms around Brian's waist, pulling him only closer to him.
"Thank you," Jae said when they let go. "For making my first kiss special."
"A special first kiss for a special person." With those words, he left Jae in confusion. They both didn't know what they felt for each other anymore. It was just a guessing game
