"You can do it, I know that", Inhos mother encourages him. She already is aware of the fact that her son has fallen in love even before he himself knows for sure.

A sleepless night later, Inho sees Hyunuk at the school yard again and takes a determined step towards him. "Hello Hyunuk. I need to talk to you", he quickly says before his heart has a chance to make him nervous in front of Hyunuk again.

He replies: "Hello Hwang Inho", and looks at him expectantly.

"Since we... we...", Inho starts but isn't sure if he really should say: "Since we like each other, can you be less informal and call me Inho?"

"We?", Hyunuk asks. Why do his lips seem so tempting?

"Call me by my given name", Inho demands.

"Sure, if you want that? Is that what you wanted to talk about?"

"No, it's..." Inho needs to focus and looks away. "About kissing", he whispers.

"Oh. Here and now? Shall we rather meet in a quiet corner for that kind of talk?", Hyunuk suggests. Inho nods because he likes that idea. They arrange to meet after the last lesson in the corridor behind the nurse office.

He's too early. Nervously he waits there and remembers their first kiss. His knees suddenly feel weak so he leans against the wall. Finally, Hyunuk appears around the corner.

"Hello Inho", Hyunuk greets him as soon as he stands in front of Inho.

"Don't you want to apologize?", is the first things that comes out of Inhos mouth. This thought just went through his head and without thinking he has said it already.

"For what?", Hyunuk wonders.

"For stealing my first kiss. And the second, too."

"No, I don't. And you asked for the second one, didn't you?"

"Well, yes, I did..."

"Aren't you going to apologize for kicking me?"

"Oh... yes. Please forgive me! I'm very sorry, I was so surprised and didn't know what to do."

"Your apology is accepted. Haven't you ever been kissed by anyone?", Hyunuk thoughtlessly asks and then proceeds to hit his forehead with the palm of his hand. "Oh dear, excuse me. This question was really stupid. Of course you have not if it was your first kiss."

Inho agrees and starts laughing relieved. Hyunuk joins and shortly afterwards they hug each other and smile brightly.

"Would you also like to have my third kiss?", Inho shyly asks in Hyunuks arms. Hyunuk happily nods and leans closer until their lips touch softly. He kind of expects Inho to push him again or run away, but nothing like that happens. Instead he puts his arms around Hyunuks neck and pulls him even closer.

"I don't want to sound shameless but I'd like to have more kisses," Hyunuk quietly mumbles.

With a wide smile Inho replies: "You may have them all. Every single one of them is yours."
