I might forget this so I’m posting these gifs now. Later when we’re doing the re-watch, I’ll just pull them up and repost them.

For many viewers, one of things adorable about DanOh was that she was unafraid to initiate skinship. Take for instance their kiss in the library in the last episode (Ch 31 at 7:47)

DanOh had made a list of things she wanted to do with Haru before graduation. She wrote on her phone:

DanOh and Haru’s list:

1. Write a letter to each other
2. Get a matching couple item
3. Kiss 100 times
4. Give each other an unforgettable gift
5. When we’re 20, meet at the 300 year tree on October 10.

Haru was making a couple item: a paper chain necklace that they could wear together. He had barely finished them when she came bounding in to see what he was doing. He then gave her the paper necklace to wear and he put on his. She thought it was a corny thing to do. But he smiled at her so nicely that she couldn’t resist him. She whacked him on arm (like a teenage girl does when she’s flirting) and said, “Yaaaah. How can I not like it when you’re looking at me like that?” She then tugged him closer so she could kiss him.

lol. Just look at her lips puckering up for the kiss. They look like fish lips.

She actually said, “Oh come on! Why are you laughing?! Don’t you ever — (she meant to say: don’t you dare regret this and ask for your kiss later).” He asked, “What?” She replied, “Oh! Forget it!”

Of course, that was cute when she pulled his necktie but the second thought that entered my head was…what?! his necktie has an elastic neck band?? Is he still in elementary school? lol.

For me, on the other hand, one of the things I find adorable about DanOh was that she liked to pretend afterwards that nothing happened. She would either play the innocent or go on a denial mode. She didn’t realize that her act was too obvious. People who experienced this kind of high school or first boyfriend/girlfriend relationship always have a sensitive radars to detect what’s up.

For instance, after their kiss in the library, she was the FIRST one to emerge out of the library and to sit at their usual hang-out spot by the window.

See that? That was suspicious to me. Where was Haru?

lol. You know what she was doing, right, @agdr03? To avoid detection from their nosy classmates (like Dohwa), she LEFT the library first.  lol.  They couldn’t be seen leaving the same place together.  They had to pretend that they weren’t involved in a kissing session earlier.

He followed after her. You could see him holding on to his tie. His eyes immediately searched for her.

She on the other hand was pretending as if nothing happened. hahaha.

He approached her and she began to fix her hair.

Notice how he wouldn’t let go of the tie? He was still holding on to his tie…the tie that she had messed up to kiss him. lol. I think he was dazed.

And to me, she looked quite content with herself. Kinda smug.

It was only later on when she updated her bucket list that we realized why. She had crossed of 100 kisses from her list.

I don’t know how she counted 100 kisses. Maybe she considered a very long kiss, i.e., a kiss that lasted a minute and 40 seconds or 100 seconds to equal 100 kisses? Who knows.

But yes, she considered her “100 kisses” goal completed.
