First Kiss
“Have you ever had your first kiss, Jimin?”
In which Minjeong was curious about how kissing feels like; so she asked her best friend, Jimin.
One sunny afternoon in SM High School, two girls were sitting in front of a class. The school was quiet, since it was supposed to be lesson hours right now. But, the class where one of the girls—Jimin—was in, got canceled because the teacher was unavailable. Meanwhile, the other girl—Minjeong—was kicked out of her class because she got caught using her phone when the lesson was still going on. So, got-kicked-out-of-class Minjeong just went to her best friend's class, hoping she could have some company because she had nothing else to do. Luckily, Jimin's class got canceled so Minjeong's prayers earlier had been granted.
Jimin and Minjeong met when Minjeong was in first grade, and Jimin was in second grade. Ever since the first time they met, they just... Clicked. They get along really well until now. And it has been more than a year since they became friends. Even though their grades were different, which made them quite difficult to meet, but they keep making time to see each other at school at least once a day.
After minutes of talking, they just sort of went silent. Jimin was just playing with her phone, while Minjeong was sitting beside her and just looked around the school. Not long after, Minjeong found two people at the end of the hall. After seeing that, she nudged Jimin, so that Jimin would put her attention on her. Then Minjeong pointed at what she saw earlier, while saying, “Jimin, look. Aren't those two kissing over there?”
Jimin squinted her eyes, then after seeing it clear, she let out a chuckle. She proceeded to put her hands on Minjeong's eyes, preventing her from seeing the couple that was currently kissing. She teased her, “Hey, you weren't supposed to see that, you kid.”
Minjeong tried to push Jimin's hands away from her eyes, while protesting, “I'm not a kid! I'm literally just one year younger than you.”
Jimin finally pulled her hands back off Minjeong's eyes, then still argued, “But still, you're small. And tiny. You're a kid.”
Hearing Jimin's response, Minjeong just rolled her eyes. “Whatever you say.”
Jimin laughed at the shorter girl beside her. But her laughter died down as soon as Minjeong asked, “Have you ever had your first kiss, Jimin?”
Jimin went silent for a while. Then she cleared her throat before saying, “Why do you ask?”
Minjeong looked at her, then shrugged. “I'm just curious. That's all.”
Hearing no response from the taller girl beside her, Minjeong continued her words, “I'm just curious about how that feels, you know? I've never had it, so I'm curious, why do people love doing it so much? Like those two people, they even kiss in broad daylight like this, can't they find a more private place to kiss? Or another time, not right now? What's so special about kissing, huh?”
After hearing Minjeong's long-ass rants, Jimin finally responded, “Uh, I actually don't know as well.”
Minjeong raised her eyebrows, “You've never had it?”
“It's not like that, I have. But…” Jimin gulped. “It didn't feel special at all, I guess, um. Yeah…”
Minjeong's face suddenly came closer to Jimin's face, making Jimin back away a little. “How did it feel like?” she asked curiously.
Jimin scratched the back of her neck, which wasn't itchy at all. How could she explain? Her first kiss was with someone she didn't even have feelings for. That's why she said it wasn't special. Then Jimin cleared her throat before answering, “I don't know… Not much? I didn't really feel anything... In particular, I think. It just felt like, uh, something soft… Pressed against my lips, then… Um, yeah. I guess that's just it.”
Minjeong nodded, while saying, “Oh… Is it really like that?”
“W-well… I don't really know, I've just kissed once. It was with, um, my ex. And it's already a long time ago. I barely remember.”
Jimin didn't know why, but she felt nervous. Her heart has been thumping against her chest, and her hands have been unconsciously playing with her skirt; that's what she's doing when she's nervous.
The next words Minjeong let out just increased Jimin's nervousness. She blinked her eyes rapidly, couldn't believe the shorter girl just said such things to her.
It was, “Jimin, wanna have your second kiss with me? And be my first kiss as well. Do you wanna?”
“W-what?”
Minjeong stared at Jimin. Jimin was confused, how could that shorty be looking all brave and firm while doing all that? Meanwhile, I'm really nervous and currently shaking because of what she's doing.
Minjeong asked again, “Do you want to kiss?”
Jimin gulped. “B-but Minjeong, you only could have your first kiss once in your life. And if you kiss me right now, you won't get a chance to get your first kiss with your boyfriend later.”
“I don't have a boyfriend,” Minjeong said.
Jimin was still playing with her skirt, while saying, “I m-mean… In the future, you know.”
Minjeong shook her head. “I'm really really curious right now, Jimin. I don't wanna wait any longer! Besides, you're the person I really trust, and I treasure you so much. I don't think that would be a problem. I don't mind having you as my first kiss, Jimin.”
Jimin just stared at the shorter girl incredulously. What's wrong with this shorty?!
Seeing Jimin's panic expressions, Minjeong looked down. “I mean... I won't force you to do that.” Then Minjeong looked up again, moving closer, looking at Jimin straight in the eyes with her signature puppy eyes expression. “But I would really really appreciate it and I'd be really glad if you want to do that with me, Jimin.”
Fuck. Jimin cursed. Minjeong's puppy eyes were Jimin's weakness, how could I say no to that?!
“W-well… If you insist. Then, okay. I agree. We could k-kiss.” said Jimin.
Minjeong cheered happily. Jimin noticed that Minjeong's eyes sparkled. Jimin's heart was beating uncontrollably. She was actually afraid Minjeong would notice it, but she tried to brush it off and rather just tried to focus on the weird-ass girl in front of her right now.
“So, when do we kiss?”
Jimin keeps getting surprised because of the shorter girl, really.
“Are you really sure-”
Minjeong nodded excitedly, “Yes! 100% sure!”
“Okay, th-then we-”
Minjeong sighed, then said, “You're taking too long.”
“Wha-”
Minjeong closed the gap between them and shut Jimin up with her mouth. So, yeah… They kissed. They were really kissing.
Jimin was over the moon. She felt like there was an explosion inside her. Her heart was beating even more uncontrollably, thumping against her chest. Her stomach felt like it was filled with thousands of flying butterflies. She's happy. She's happy, kissing the girl she has been secretly having feelings for. Minjeong's lips were soft and sweet, very addicting. Jimin felt like she wanted to kiss those lips all day and all night, unlike when she kissed her ex. It felt bland.
Jimin thought, so this is how kissing (someone you love) supposedly feels like… No wonder, people love doing it so much.
Seconds later, maybe even almost a minute? They backed away from each other, ending their kiss. Jimin was smiling, from ear to ear, while staring at Minjeong full of love.
“You were right.”
Hearing Minjeong's words, Jimin was confused. “Right about what?”
The next words Minjeong was about to say made Jimin froze. She couldn't even explain what she was feeling. It was… overwhelming, she could say.
“You were right, Jimin. It just felt like something soft pressed against my lips, nothing much. I didn't really feel anything special, I guess. I wonder why people love kissing so much...”
