Sweet Reunion

The lift of the apartment had always been so packed. A girl who always brought her white bike along and the boy who always kept his earphones on. They weren’t strangers. Living in different floors, they would always exchanged nods when they saw each other. The girl was often put with the boy’s family since her parents were always busy working. He was the only one who gave her the tender loving care that she needed through those years. That was until he graduated and moved out to live on his own. The girl who was still in junior high at that time couldn’t help but bawl her eyes out upon finding out the news.

In the end, she grew up to be a fine young lass in her college years. She was used to fending for herself and imagine her surprise as she witnessed him entering the lift like old times.
He blushed at her sight. He couldn’t believe that the girl who was still a baby back then had grown up to be a beautiful lass.
On the other hand, she was in awe at how manly he had become. Though he was thin, she could still see the purple lines of veins on his arms. It must be nice to be hugged tightly by those arms, she thought.

After a second of silence, she ended up blurting out her thoughts.

"Oppa, it’s been a long time, huh."
"Yeah, I know right?"
Both leaned against the wall, side by side, while catching up on their lives.
Old habits die hard. As the lift slowly travels up to her floor, she gently laid her head on his shoulders. He was a tad bit taller than her so her head awkwardly dangled in the air for a while before he adjusted his posture to accommodate her.
She liked his small gesture. In this cold world, there are so few places where you could call home and he was one of hers.
His face had become as red as a tomato but he looked away and smiled anyway.
She was still the adorable girl that hogged his attention. Not that he mind. He couldn’t help but notice her matured features. He was still a man as well. He had to control himself. Thank God, the lift stopped before he had to brush her off.

Oh my God, I should get off now.
"Don’t you dare try to leave this place before saying goodbye to me, okay!" She dashed out of the lift, dragging her bike along just in time before the door closed.
He didn’t get the chance to get her number but he knew that he would meet her again.
