{Written in Minho’s point of view}
It’s Valentine’s Day soon and I am having a hard time thinking of what to give my first love, my best friend, Taemin. It’s my first time giving her a Valentine’s Day gift so I wanted it big but since I cannot think of something big, I tried to remember some conversations I had with her regarding flowers, chocolates and Valentine’s Day.
{Flashback}
“Taemin-ah, you got so many presents again this year huh.” I teased as I saw her carrying bouquets and bags of chocolates. I laughed seeing her annoyed because of so many gifts.
“Do you think this is funny?” She asked with a really annoyed face. I cannot help but to laugh hard because of all the girls I knew, which are not a lot, all of them wanted to receive this much but ended up having one or none. Since she’s popular, she cannot do anything but to just accept one gift after the other. She even tried hiding and skipping classes but she failed since some of her so called admirers would go to her house instead and drop off the gifts. She didn’t have a choice.
“Why are you so mad? You should be happiest girl in school right now.” I said trying to hold back my laugh so I won’t choke my words.
“But…” She looked at the gifts and frowned.
“But?”
“I just want to receive one simple gift from someone I love.” I looked at her, confused.
“You haven’t received any from Jonghyun?” I frowned with what I just said. Jonghyun is her boyfriend. The one person I’m so envious of because she loves him so much even though he’s a player, she stayed with him.
“Ugh, yeah, I haven’t. Last year, he gave me a bouquet of flowers but this year, he didn’t even ask me to go out on a date.”
“And you just want one simple gift from him?”
“I just want that one simple gift from the person I love.”
{End of flashback}
Even though she’s popular and all, even though she received lots of flowers and chocolates, at the end of the day, all she wanted is that simple present from him. Isn't he the luckiest of all yet he doesn't even put efforts to give that simple thing she wanted. How cruel.
But what’s the point of me giving that simple present this Valentine’s Day when all she wanted is to receive it from him? But it’s our last year in high school, I wanted to give her one present before we part ways. It wouldn't be that bad when she received it from me right?
I went to the student council booth to order that present. Every year, the student council prepares a booth to take orders from students then they would deliver the flowers to the classroom of that person you wanted to receive it. I’m glad they have this kind of project because if not, I’d be having a more difficult time going to the flower market.
“Minho-ssi? You’re going to order? That’s rare.” Onew, the student council president asked. Yeah, it’s rare to see me in this booth. I avoided this booth for three years and since it’s my last year, I wanted to experience it at least.
“Am I not allowed here?” I tried to scare him but I failed because he just smiled at me.
“Of course not. So, fill up this form.”
I stared at the form as I can feel that Onew is staring at me. I hesitated to write her name but I ended up writing it anyway since I can’t take Onew’s staring anymore. After I wrote down her name and section, I gave it to him and he smiled widely at me.
“What?” I was nervous of what he’s going to say.
“You like her?” Oh come on, I forgot, Taemin and Onew are classmates.
“Can you not tell?”
“I’m surprised. We thought you don’t like her.” Of course I like her. I love her actually. I need to stop this conversation. It won’t get us anywhere anyway.
“Just make sure she’ll receive it okay?”
“Yes sir!”
“Thanks Onew-ssi.”

{Written in Taemin’s point of view}
I was arguing one afternoon with my so called boyfriend, Jonghyun when Jinki approached us. He excused me for awhile and dragged me somewhere. And because of what he did, Jonghyun and I will continue to argue later. We’ve been like this for a year now. We argued with simple things and we made it a big issue.
“Just break up with Jonghyun!” Jinki exclaimed at me. What the hell.
“Are you crazy now? I told you to not work too much.”
“No, I’m not. I told you to break up with him already. He can graduate even if you’re not his girlfriend.”
“But he said he needed me. So I am staying with him until we graduate. I don’t want to feel any guilt if he won’t be graduating because of me.”
“Come on, he can graduate without you. He needed you because you can be his tutor? Then be his tutor! Don’t commit with him anymore. You’re not being fair with your heart.”
“And you don’t have to care about it, Jinki. Why do we always argue about this?”
“Whatever. So can you guess how many flowers and chocolates are you going to receive tomorrow?”
“Do you want me to punch you?” Even though I’m a girl, I am stronger than this person. He’s clumsy and all. He can be physically abused during this time of the year because I punched and cursed him. Since he handled that project during Valentine’s Day and since he’s my closest friend in class, he never failed to irritate me during the day before Valentine’s Day. He always spoils it. He will give me clues about how many flowers or chocolates I would received, how many letters my locker would get. I hate it.
“I always get punched, slapped or cursed by my closest friend every time this day would come. Don’t worry, it’s our last year, you can peacefully celebrate Valentine’s Day in your chosen college next year but for now, I think this would be the happiest Valentine’s Day you’ll ever had.”
He walked away and almost tripped when he saw me glaring at him. What was that? Is it the happiest Valentine’s Day? How come? I tried to call him back but I didn’t want to be annoyed anymore so I just let him be and prayed that tomorrow would be a one perfect day for me.

The next day, I went to school late so that I won’t see some of my so called admirers. They would corner me somewhere just to personally give me whatever they prepared.
I went inside our classroom quietly. I looked for Jinki who was obviously not around since he’s busy delivering flowers. Moments later, you’ll see some student council officers in front of our classroom door asking for some names and giving them their presents. The teacher decided to just stop lecturing since the class was being distracted. After one whole period, the teacher left and all eyes to me, again.
“Wow, you received a lot already but it’s only an hour. We still have seven hours to go before school ends, you’re lucky.”
I just smiled and bowed. Yeah, right. Lucky? No way.
“Taemin-ah! Onew’s looking for you.” A classmate called me. I went outside to see Jinki smiling crazily at me.
“What’s wrong with you?” I asked him and he looked really weird with his smile just now.
“Here. This pink rose is from me, of course.” I hugged him tight. Yeah, he loves me. I know that.
“Thank you, Jinki-ah.”
“You’re most welcome Taemin-ah. And this one is also for you but it’s not from me.” He handed me one white rose. He smiled widely again. Gah, that smile is driving me insane.
“From who?” I asked hoping for a good reply but failed.
“You can guess. I won’t tell.”
“Darn it.” He ran away and waved at me. He thought I’m going to punch him again. Instead of saying good bye, he said good luck. A white rose. I stood outside the classroom for awhile. Is it from Minho? If it is from him, then I’d be the happiest person today. I always wanted to receive this from him. Besides Jinki, Minho knew that I love white roses and I would be happy to receive one white rose from the person I love. He never gave me a Valentine present before because of I don’t know. I smiled and stared at the white rose as I assumed it’s from Minho then when someone snapped me out.
“Are you happy now?” I looked up and saw Minho smiling at me.
“Finally.”
“I love you.”
“You’ll wait for me right?”
“Certainly.”
