I pulled him into a shop called “Love’s In The Air”

Which was a bit weird to see, because of the shop’s name, but I pulled him inside it anyway.

What Daehyun hates more than expired food, is pink.

He absolutely hates the color pink. I once gifted him a pink bear, and he accepted it politely. The next day, I saw it in the trashcan. The next day, I went to strangle the soul of him, but he explained how he dislikes the color pink. He apologized, and when I still didn’t forgive him, he used – ways – to get to my good side.

You know which ways, ways that involved lips.

So, following my obnoxious and childish brain, I pulled him into a shop that was full of pink stuff.

And he reacted normally.

“AH! PINK! IT BURNS!” Daehyun exclaimed at once, his eyes widening in fright as he tried to escape my grasp. I pounced on his arm and pulled him deeper in the pink covered couple store. The buyers seemed curious why a screaming guy is being pulled by his girlfriend in the couple shop.

I smiled embarrassingly at the buyers who looked angry or offended.

Psh, fine. I hope your face stays that way.

“Please Namjoongie! I’ll do anything! I’ll feed you!” Daehyun taunted as if food is my only craving in the world. He hugged me tight as I buried my head in his chest, laughing.

He was shivering, either from anger or from fright.

The cashier was now reaching for the walkie talkie as I groaned. Great, she’s going to call the security guards to one crazy guy and his girlfriend out of the store.

“Dae, calm down for heaven’s sake. I hate this as much as you do,” I hissed truthfully as Daehyun stopped shivering. He pulled away and held my shoulders, staring at me curiously.

“What do you mean? I thought you pulled me into this pink infested store to torture me?” Daehyun asked, confused. I laughed and tip toed, ruffling up his hair.

“Daehyun, I hate couple stuff as much as you hate pink,” I replied somewhat obviously, rolling my eyes. Daehyun grinned evilly, rubbing his hands together.

He let out an evil laugh that sent a little girl near us ran away, screaming.

“Kim Namjoo, today’s your lucky day!” Daehyun said happily as he pulled me into the couple’s headband.

Oh dear, this is not going to be good.

“Just put on the sweater-“

“DON’T YOU DARE COME NEAR ME WITH THAT THING!” I shouted angrily as I tried to merge with the wall. Daehyun rolled his eyes and entered the changing stall, locking the door. I gulped.

“HE’S TAKING ADVANTAGE OF ME!”

“Yah! Can you quiet down?! I’m not going to take advantage of you! Gosh, even if I tried, you’ll kill me first,” Daehyun explained as I exhaled with a breathy laugh. But then, what he did was more frightening.

After a couple of screams, a couple of protests and a whole load of threats, I was finally in the dress Daehyun got for me.

It was a light green sweater with matching bonnet. It was a picture of a cute chibi bunny which says, “Have a Merry Christmas!” but right now I’m not feeling the least bit merry.

Daehyun hauled me out of the changing room, picked me up bridal style and rushed to the counter.

He sat me on the scanner of the counter as it scanned the price tag on my sweater. The girl shakily handed Daehyun his change.

“Thank you! We’ll come again!”

“Over my dead body!” I yelled at him as he grabbed my and ran out of “Love’s In The Air” couple shop.

“Oh jagiya, don’t temp me.” Daehyun chuckled as I huffed but followed him.

We spent almost all day in the mall, and I was just a little bit tired. Yes, I think something’s wrong.

“Daehyun! We forgot to buy our gifts!” I said suddenly, stopping dead on my tracks. Daehyun scratched his head sheepishly and smiled.

“Actually, I already bought it. I bought it in Idol Camp, since they sold it there,” Daehyun confessed, grinning. I laughed and pulled him inside a CD store.

“I’ll just find the latest war movie, okay Dae- Oh? Where did he go?” I asked myself, looking around me to find Daehyun gone. I shrugged and checked my pockets if I had my wallet and my phone, and I did.

I went over to the movies section and got out the movie called “Battleship”

I actually watched the movie, and it was educational and very entertaining, with a bit of humor. I smiled and went to counter and paid for it, seeing Daehyun thank a lady while putting a CD inside his bag.

“Daehyun! Where’d you go? I already bought Yongguk oppa his present,” I told him happily, showing him the CD. Daehyun smiled and bent down to peck my cheek, lacing his right hand with me before pulling me out of the store to find the others.

“That’s great, jagiya. Let’s find them, okay?” I nodded along with him and smiled happily.

I really hope that war movie addict would like this movie.

“Jongup bells! Himchan smells! And Yongguk’s in love with him! Youngjae’s smart, Dae has a caring heart, and Zelo loves to win~!” Zelo sang out loud as Himchan unlocked the door of the dorm.

I chuckled as Zelo sang the rest of the song.

“WHOO! ME AND JONGUPPIE HYUNG WILL PUT UP THE DECORATIONS!” Zelo announced, dropping his heavy bag and skateboard on Himchan’s feet and grabbed the decorations off Yongguk.

He and Jongup went to find a ladder as Himchan nursed his feet.

“Overly hyper kids,” Himchan muttered darkly before shuffling to his room.

“Poor Himchan oppa. Anyways, Youngjae, help me with the cake?” I pleaded as Youngjae but nodded exasperatedly. I clapped in happiness. Daehyun turned me around so that I could face him. He was pouting and his eyes were too cute.

“I want to help too, jagiya,” Daehyun complained, pouting some more. I smiled and leaned in, pecking his cheek.

“You’ll eat the cake, Dae. So I think it’s safe to call Youngjae for this one,” I responded as he chuckled in reply.

“Oh, and by the way, I’ll not attend the party later on, alright? Important matters to discuss with manager hyung,” Daehyun said briefly, not meeting my eye. It was my turn to be sad.

He’s going to miss the most important holiday of the year! Well, to me that is.

And it was going to be the first Christmas we were going to spend together.

“Oh, okay. Take care,” I said, half-heartedly smiling as Daehyun hugged me in goodbye. He turned around and walked out of the door, closing it gently. I sighed and rolled up the sleeves of my new sweater.

“Time to bake,” I announced to myself as I walked zombie-like to the kitchen where Youngjae was waiting.

~.~

“MERRY CHRISTMAS EVERYONE!”

“AND HIMCHAN HYUNG!” Jongup added brightly as we all guffawed. Himchan turned bright red.

“Gee, thanks for remembering me,” Himchan said sarcastically as Jongup patted Himchan in the back.

“No problem hyung!” He replied in his still cheerful tone. I laughed more as we all huddled around the living room. Yongguk looked at each of one us and winked at me.

“I’m very happy we’ve finally completed one year as a group. I can’t believe how far we have come, and I’m very happy to see you all smiling and laughing,”

“Except Himchan hyung,” Youngjae muttered as Himchan choked on his iced tea.

“Anyways, we have a new addition to our family, and that’s Namjoo. I hope you’re enjoying your Christmas with us, even if Daehyunnie is not with us anymore,” Yongguk added sadly as I tried out for a happy smile.

“To B.A.P, Merry Christmas!” I said, raising my iced tea as everyone did so.

“Oh, and Namjoo? Daehyun left something for you,” Youngjae said suddenly as I almost choked on my iced tea like Himchan did.

“Really?! What?” I asked a bit, maybe frighteningly because Jongup and Zelo both backed away a bit. Youngjae said nothing as he got a CD from his pocket. It was the same CD Daehyun bought from the store.

He went to the stereo and beckoned me to get up and follow him. I stood in front of the stereo as Youngjae put the CD in and pressed play.

I thought a song was going to play, but it was more than a song.

I froze as I heard Daehyun’s voice.

“Hi jagiya! I’m truly sorry I’m not there, and on Christmas day too. It’s just manager hyung wanted to say some things to me that could take all night. I just want you to know that you’re more than I ever asked for. I’m really thankful and happy that you picked me amongst B.A.P. You’re beautiful, smart, sarcastic and don’t let other people tell you otherwise. You know, you’re like a star,” Daehyun stopped talking.

“Why?” I asked, my voice cracking a bit.

“Because even at the darkest times of my life, like my parent’s death anniversary, you still shine bright. You still bring happiness and hope. I cant’ believe I have such a girl in my arms. Baby, you’re the only one for me, really. Maybe Sarang is still in my heart-“ he stopped talking when,

“YAH! What did you say?!” I shouted, knowing Daehyun would know I would’ve said that.

“I’m joking jagiya.” Daehyun chuckled. “Thank you for being my star. Thank you for being you, Kim Namjoo. And Namjoo?” He paused again.

“Yes?” I asked timidly.

“I’m right behind you.” The stereo said, and also another voice. A voice I knew too well.

I turned around to see a smiling Daehyun holding a bundle of flowers and cake. It said, ‘Merry Christmas Namjoongie~!’ also, on the bundle of flowers, a silver bracelet stood out. There was a carving on it, and it said, ‘DaeJoo = Love’

“Merry Christmas jagiya! I thought I would surprise you and-“ before he finished his sentence, I rushed to him, got the flowers and threw it to the couch. I got the cake and slammed it into his face.

“Whoa hyung! You just got caked by a girl!” Zelo exclaimed, laughing along with the others.

“Yah! Never do that again! I thought you would not come back tonight! Ugh! I hate-“

My lips were sealed with his kiss. It was a short but sweet one. He pulled away and wiped the cake off his eyelids so he could see me better.

“I love you too, baby. Did I taste sweet?” Daehyun asked jokingly. I chuckled and got some cake off his face, tasting it.

“Hmm, let me check again.” I leaned in for another kiss which he happily complied with.

“Ugh, kissing. Let’s open the presents!” Himchan announced as everyone agreed.

“No hyung, you’re just forever alone,”

“YAH! JONGUP! I have Yongguk!”

“Please,” Yongguk covered his ears, “Shut up and let’s open the presents.”
