1. Love at First Sight...or, at least, Interest. Hey little mama, let me holla at you. 2. Gradual. Your interest in this person is growing after getting to know them. 3. Excitement and FREAKING OUT. Oh my gosh, there's absolutely nothing you'd rather do than spend time with this person you want everything to be perfect oh gosh oh gosh. 3. Hormonal. Girls are so weird but they look so nice. 4. BFF to BF Your friendship is becoming/has become more than that. 5. Secret Crush You can't let you liking the head cheerleader or the king's daughter get out. It would be a disaster. 6. What is this...Love Thing? I don't understand love. What is love, baby don't hurt me --- 7. Unacceptable Your brain is betraying you and making you have gross emotions towards that person. 8. You Totally Like [blank]. Everybody knows your little secret. Guess it's not a secret, then. 9. MY LIFE IS OVER. You embarrassed yourself, so clearly no one will ever love you ever again. 10. Grouchy. Or Stunted. Remember how I said not just silly kids can get crushes? This is for all the adults who are finally feeling that fluttery feeling in their chest. 11. Dumb Shows of Affection. You want to show how much you care. These thoughtful gestures can range from not-so-dumb (she likes cookies, I'll buy her one!) to really dumb (I'LL BUY HER A LIFETIME SUPPLY OF COOKIES). 12. Forbidden Attraction. Everyone knows exes are off-limits. It's, like, the first rule of feminism. Also included are siblings of best friends, best friends, and cute people in general. 13. Ridiculously Over the Top. SHMOOPY POOPY CUDDLE BEAR! All sorts of pet names and inappropriate PDA here. 14. Fluffy Moments. Not necessarily dates, but just hanging out and having fun together. 15. Confession. I REALLY LIKE YOU PLEASE GO OUT WITH ME I carved this rock with my bare hands for you. Or maybe something more subtle. 16. Unwitting Object of Affection. Usually an older party or someone completely uninvolved with this malarky, but crushes know no bounds. 17. Adorable Kisses. Please don't let me miss, please don't bump noses... 18. Sloppy Makeouts. Put on "Stairway to Heaven" and go to town. 19. Arguments. You jerk! Look what you've done! I never want to see you again. 20.First Time Obligatory smut option, touch a boob, etc. 21. ANYTHING ELSE
[She finally looks at him now, her eyes wide and face red. But just as quickly, she shakes her head and puts on a smile, looking back at the fire.]
[No, that can't be right. Love was supposed to be a pure and beautiful thing, that filled one's heart with happiness! And she hasn't felt that way for someone since Soo-Won--]
[Ah... At that, he reaches over, placing his hand gently on her head.]
You're thinking about it the wrong way. [He's just assuming that this is about Hak, so they must both be confused. Is that it?] When someone is the closest to you, they can hurt you the most. It's just a sign that it must be true.
What you should do is state your feelings clearly.
[Well, she can definitely feel her heart pounding in her chest now, worrying whether or not he could hear it... thank god he didn't possess the dragon's ears or something to let him hear everything do dragons even have ears??]
[But if he's right, if these feelings are right, then... she should tell him, right? And what better time than this?]
[And yet as she turns and looks up into his eyes, as she can think of are those works he himself just said. Those closest to you could hurt you the most.]
--I'm going to collect more firewood! Look, our fire's almost burned out! And we can't have everyone catching a cold, it's still pretty chilly out--
[What if her feelings her him?]
[She couldn't place that burden on Jae-Ha. After all, he was so important to her...]
[And so she abruptly stands, trying to sneak away... even though these is clearly a bundle of firewood sitting right next to the fire, come on girl, at least come up with a better excuse.]
[There was something off. He can tell immediately, even if denial keeps him from pinpointing why. He reaches out, catching Yona's hand gently with his own as he looks up to her.]
With you running away so quickly... Could it be that the one you have feelings for is me?
[He says it so smoothly, but actually it's entirely a joke. He's hoping to snap her out of just rushing away in embarrassment and figure out what's really going on.]
[He means it as a joke. And maybe on another day, she'd be able to take it as one. But when he grabs her hand, she turns around to face him--]
[And her face is bright red, eyes wide and shining.]
[She doesn't pull and she doesn't try to escape. But faced with that, unwilling to lie to him... what does she even say? She opens her mouth to speak, but no words come out.]
[She doesn't deny it. She basically confirms it, and Jae-Ha can feel his heart beating through his whole body. He can't hide the quietly surprised expression on his face, or the slight bit of pink on his own cheeks.
No, this— Hadn't he been sure that this was the doing of this troublesome leg of his? Even now, it was burning so much that he's thankful he's sitting. But this feeling in his heart is too realistic, even knowing that she's a child. His mind flashes to Hak, to Kija, and he's not sure what to do.
He knows what he wants to do, or what it feels like he wants...]
No, it's... [He smooths a thumb over the back of her hand, gently tugging for her to come closer again, or sit down beside him.] It wouldn't be bad at all.
[She's easily led by the pull of his hand, sitting down beside him once more. Though she isn't sitting nearly as stiffly as she was before, she looks no less anxious. And she hasn't let go of his hand, either.]
I know it's a bit late to be saying this now, but it's true. You're the one I've been having these feelings for.
[These feelings that might just be love--]
[Maybe she should have asked Hak after all except no that would have been terrible and Jae-Ha would have died.]
[It still doesn't sound true. His heart beats hard as Yona sits beside him, and he squeezes that hand gently while he searches her eyes. He could say a joking line about how he's a monster, but they're all monsters here, aren't they? Though he could argue that there are others who aren't so monstrous as him.
But how can he hold back, even out of feeling he's not good enough? His blood is boiling and he can't look away, let alone pull away. In fact, his free hand reaches out and takes her chin lightly, angling it towards him as he considers.]
[She's so easily drawn into his eyes, seeing the uncertainty there as he looks back into her own. It was unlike her to be so conflicted like this... her feelings might hurt him, but keeping them locked inside might only hurt them both even more.]
I... [She reaches up and rests her hand over his, holding it and shifting it up to her cheek.] I love you, Jae-Ha.
[Is this a dream? He still isn't sure as his heart pounds heavily and his body seems to seize up. Her words hit him, as does their hands joined and close to her cheek, but everything seems to be in echo. This can't be...
But it is? It's not right for her. She's just a child, and the dragon blood makes things complicated. On top of that, Hak and Kija—
He's leaning closer despite that.] If you say things like that so seriously, I won't be able to hold back.
[His words are soft, not quite a whisper but certainly not loud enough to be normal conversation, either. If she'll let him, he'll move in like he's drawn by gravity for a slow kiss.]

If it really is love... is it supposed to hurt?

Eh? Eh? What's with that startled look? Don't tell me I hit the nail on the head? [Is this a dream...]

Would it... be so bad? If I said you did?
