    it wasn't a blink-and-you'd-miss-it type of thing. anyone in their right state of mind knew you two. "opposites," they would say.

    the both of you were like night and day, frequently arguing about the most trivial things. but, at the end of the day, you couldn't deny that there was a spark between you two—and who knows? maybe he would end up being the love of your life.

    soon, that little spark of yours would end up turning into a fiery flame—one that wouldn't be put out anytime soon.

    jungwon was introverted, you were extroverted. he was shy, you were anything but. he was serious, you were lighthearted. if you were being honest, there were a million things that would define you guys as opposites.

    once school was over, your class headed to one of your classmates' houses to hang out. after all, it was friday, and that was just the beginning of what was to come. everyone sat in a deformed circle on the living room floor, eyes darting from one to another.

    "let's play truth or dare," someone chimed, a devious smirk plastered onto their face.

    "{{user}}, you. truth or dare?" that same person asked, tapping their finger against their knee impatiently.

    "truth?" you replied, completely unaware of their intentions.

    "do you like him?" they asked, absolutely confident in their question. you didn't have to ask who they were referring to—in fact, everyone in that room knew. that wasn't even the craziest part. the thing is, you were frozen in place—flustered, you could say. and you were never flustered.

    you stared at jungwon from your spot in the circle, your gaze unwavering. you felt the strangest feeling in the pit of your stomach—were those what they called butterflies? gently, you pressed your fingertips to your cheek. you were blushing. then it hit you. you knew exactly what was going on with you. your expression softened as you dropped your hand back down to your side—you were in love.
