New Year

Playing the player

BAEKHYUN POV

    I woke up this morning alone lying on my couch with my blanket wrapped around me. My first thought of course was ‘where’s Heesung?’ but she wasn’t anywhere in my apartment so I just assumed she left in the middle of the night.

    It was bright outside when I peeked out behind my curtains in the livingroom. The snow glittered when the sunlight hit it. It’s New Years Eve. I thought and sighed, turning away from the window. Fireworks would be keeping me up late tonight.

    I wondered what Heesung would do tonight. Probably party together with everyone in her house, celebrating. Opening my fridge in hope to find something to eat for breakfast I failed.

    My fridge was empty. I wonder if they sell earplugs at the market. I wondered before walking into my room to get prepared to leave and buy noodles once again.

  

 

HEESUNG POV

    “Noona, it’s New Year’s soon!” Zelo told me with a huge grin.

    “I know, I know.” I tried calming the giant boy down. I was in the kitchen helping Yongguk with the dishes after a late lunch. Zelo suddenly ran out of the kitchen, probably to play with Tao in the living room.

     Tonight we’d make a big dinner like every year and basically party until midnight. It’s always the same every year. But I was comtemplating weither I should go to Baekhyuns place or not since I knew that he’d be alone. My brother said that he thinks I should go, I was a bit surprised when he was the one that brought it up, but I knew why as well.

    It was getting late and my brother, Youngjae, Yongguk and Lay was in the kitchen preparing our dinner. All I was doing was sitting on my bed playing with my phone. My thoughts kept going to Baekhyun. What was he doing today? Would he eat well or go and buy ramen again. Yesterday I knew when his brother would leave since Yongguk told me for some reason, and the look in his eyes were suggesting something. I didn’t even know what I was thinking when I grabbed whatever clothes I found first when I opened my closet and told Yongguk to drive me.

    Of course I knew that Baekhyun would be hungry so I told Yongguk to stop by a Chinese take out place close to Baekhyuns building. Just when I got dropped off, I saw the taxi where Baekhyuns brother sat in roll away.

    I do feel a bit sorry that I left Baekhyun sleeping on the couch in the middle of the night but I had to get back home. Luckily, Yongguk knew that I wouldn’t stay the night and stayed up to get me.

   My head was a mess, so was my heart. I didn’t know anymore what I was feeling for Baekhyun. I had a long talk about this with Kris and he just said that I’d have to go with my feelings. But the problem was I didn’t know what I felt for that boy.

    I admit to myself and to Kris, and only Kris for now that I do like Baekhyun a bit. But I don’t know if it’s enough.

    Kris also told me to do something before it’s too late and I know that as well. Yongguk and my brother did too and it just made me feel stressed. Every time I thought about the times I kissed Baekhyun without any problems my heart clenched and my head started to pound. I knew it meant something but I don’t know what.

    I have all these questions and thoughts it my head that I haven’t even shared with Kris. Everyday I had to take a pill against headaches but most of the time it wouldn’t help.

    “Heesung?” My brother knocked on my door, interrupting me from my deep thoughts.

    I looked up and saw him standing by my open door. “Dinner’s ready.” He told me with a smile and I smiled faintly back while standing up from my bed. “I’ll be down soon.” I said and he nodded walking away.

    Looking in my full body mirror I straightened the skirt of the dark strapless dress I was wearing before leaving my room.

    Everyone was sitting around the dining table in the kitchen, waiting for me. I took a seat between my brother and Yongguk who smiled widely at me. When my brother said that we could all begin everyone hurried and grabbed food, reminds me of Christmas. My brother helped me put some food on my plate since I didn’t really want to stretch out while everyones long arms were basically spread all over the food.

    We talked about a lot of different things. What we look forward to in the coming year. Plans, wishes and so on. “I hope that I’ll still be as handsome next year.” Kris said and everyone laughed and rolled their eyes.

    “I hope you shrink.” Chen commented, erupting laughted around the table.

    “Shut up shortie.” Kris retorted.

    We all just continued laughing and joking around with eachother. Everyone ate and ate until noone could barely swallow another bite. We were all just in the livingroom hanging around, waiting until midnight. It was a little past eleven and everyone was just spending the rest of the night like any other night.

    A few were already a little tipsy since they’ve begun to drink a little earlier. Lay who was on of the tipsy ones already kept dozing off on Chen’s shoulder. Chen kept taking pictures of Lay and everyone else who was acting a little more crazy than usual, he always does that since he had quite a high alcohol intolerens.

    “Are you leaving, noona?” Tao asked and peeked into my room where I was sitting on my bed with a bag by my feet.

     Looking up from my phone I saw Tao’s head and Zelo’s right under him by my door opening. I gave them a small smile and gestured for the to come in.

    “I think so. But I’ll be back tomorrow.” I said and they nodded.

    “Does that mean… You’re coming back next year?” Youngjae walked in and laughed sarcastically. Oh, he was also a little bit tipsy.

    I couldn’t help but laugh though since it was a bit funny. “Yes, I’ll be back next year Youngjae.”

    Tao and Zelo grinned at their hyung who staggered out of my room and down the stairs. Just then my brother knocked on my open door and let himself in. “I’ve packed a little of the food left for that boy.” He said and made a face.

    “Thanks oppa.”

    “Noona, are you trying to spend as much time with him as possible before-“

    I cut Tao off. “Yes.” I said and sighed, standing up and straightening the skirt of my dress.

He kept silent and just nodded. Himchan grabbed the bag by my feet and I walked out of my room, the three of us following after.

    It’s gotten a little more louder in the living room and all I saw was Kris scolding Chen. Shaking my head at the boys I grabbed my black strap heels and put them on along with my black coat and scarf. My legs were bare but I’d be able to handle the cold for now.

    “I’ll see you tomorrow then.” Yongguk hugged me tight, Daehyun hugging me after him.

    I hugged everyone and wished all of them a happy New Year while I’d be gone for the night. Kris smirked at me and I just rolled my eyes. “Make sure he eats a lot!” Xiumin yelled when I opened the door since my brother was done putting everything in the car.

    “I’ll make sure!” I laughed and smiled.

    “Goodnight, Heesung.” Kris told me and I just stuck my tounge out to the man.

   

BAEKHYUN POV

     Twenty minutes to midnight and I was sitting in my living room in a pair of jeans and a black wifebeater looking out my windows. I tied my bangs into an apple hairstyle since my hair was growing to fast. A few fireworks here and there had already begun shooting up in the sky. I was quite tired but I was planning to wait until the fireworks would die down until I’d sleep, which would be hard since they don’t usually stop until dawn, which means I’d be pulling and all nighter alone together with a cup of ramen and my phone. I’ve wanted to call Heesung to wish her a happy new year but I just thought that she’d be busy so I didn’t mind.

    A loud ringing could be heard from my room that made me quickly get on my feet. Checking the caller ID my eyes widened and a huge grin spread on my lips. “Hello?”

    “Hi.” Heesung voice was heard on the other side.

    “Hey.” I walked out of my room. “What are you doing calling so late?”

    “Are you busy?” She asked.

    “No, why?”

    Just then a knock could be heard on my door and I cursed silently in my head at whoever it was disturbing me. “Ah, wait a minute.” I told her and hurried to me door. I swear to god if it’s Sehun…

    “Wh-“

    Heesung raised and eyebrow at me while still holding her phone against her ear. I nearly dropped mine in surprise but managed not to. “Uh…”

    “You don’t look that happy to see me, Mr.Byun.” She said.

    “I-“

    “Are you going to helpy me carry these in or not?” She asked and quickly looked down, my eyes following. I saw a gym bag lying by her feet together with another plastic bag.

   Grabbing her bags quickly from the floor I hurried in with her after me. Placing her bag on the floor in the kitchen and the plastic bag on the table I turned to her and gasped.

    “How are you not cold woman?!” I asked and looked at her bare legs. She was even wearing strapped heels in this weather! She just rolled her eyes and reached up to hang her coat. My cheeks quickly heated up when I saw that she was only wearing a short strapless black dress. “No whining now. It’s soon new years.” She said and waved her hand at my face.     It was ten more minutes until midnight and she was taking out whatever that was in the plastic bag, which was food. And the sight of food made my stomach growl. She just chuckled and placed the Tupperware on the table. “My brother packed these since we didn’t finish all the food from before. We can just heat them later.” She wiped her hands together and walked around the table, past me and into my living room before standing in front of my windows.

    “I have a question.” I said and walked up beside her. She smiled at me before taking a seat by my window ledge facing me when I took a seat as well.

    “Yes?”

    “What are you doing here? Aren’t you supposed to spend new years with-“

    “I wanted to spend new years with you.” She said and my heart stopped for a moment.

    “I- What?” My head was slightly confused. “Really?” I knew my eyes were wide now.

    “Something wrong about that?” She asked and tilted her head to the side while looking at me with her big gray eyes.

   “N-No, not at all!”I cleared my throat. “Just… I-“

   “Five more minutes.” She said and I looked at my phones clock. It was soon midnight and I’d be spending it with Heesung. Could I be more than beyond happy right now? Like, the first thing I’m going to see next year is the girl I love.

    When the clock hit midnight fireworks shot up in the air and exploded. Heesung smiled widely while the dark sky was filled with light and colour. Instead of looking at the fireworks outside I had my eyes on her. Her eyes were twinkling together with the fireworks in the sky and I felt my heart pound harder in my chest. I hadn’t even realized I was slowly leaning closer towards her until she turned and blinked widely. “Hey, wha-“

    Our lips met and I knew that had caught her by surprise from the small squeal that escaped her lips. It didn’t even feel like we heard the fireworks outside anymore since all I was concentrating on was her.

    When we parted we leaned our foreheads together while slowly panting for air. “Yah, idiot…” She mumbled but I just smiled.

    “Told you I’d steal your New Years kiss.”

    She didn’t say anything but turned to look out the window again. I just chuckled and decided to look out the window together with her. I don’t think any of us knew how long we just sat and looked out the window watching the fireworks maybe an hour or so?

    “Do you mind if I stay the night?” She suddenly asked and I raised my eyebrows.

    “Of course, but why?”

    “You don’t want me too?”

    “Yah! Of course I do!” I gasped and watched as she just stood up while chuckling. My eyes went to her bare legs once again and I couldn’t help but blush.

    “Will there ever be a moment when you won’t stare at my legs like that?” She asked and poked up forehead making me look up at her.

    Shaking my head I grinned. “Don’t think so.” She rolled her eyes and walked towards my kitchen table. “I’ll prepare the food for you.”

    I continued watching the fireworks while she was in the kitchen. For the first time during new years I didn’t feel lonely. Even if my brother of parents were here, I still didn’t feel like I did now. Something about having her here made me feel a lot happier, alive. “I can’t believe you’re the first person I see this New Year.”

   “Me too.” She sighed and I whipped my head back and saw her trying to stifle a laugh. “Sad if I have to admit.”

   “Heesung!” I whined and got on my feet making my way to her in the kitchen.

   “You know I’m joking, Mr.” She laughed and took out the plate filled with food from the microwave when it beeped. “Or am i?”

   “Stooop~” I groaned and sat down by the table.

    She placed the plate in front of me together with smalle tupperwares that contained side dishes. I began eating while she took the seat in front of me sitting with her knees up

   “I still don’t understand how you don’t get cold.” I mumbled with food in my mouth before swallowing. She turned to her legs and shrugged.

    “You’re going to get really sick one day.”

    She didn’t answer and just sat there silently while I continued eating. I haven’t noticed that she was wearing the ring I gave her for Christmas, the sight of it made me feel all happy inside.

    She suddenly stood up. “Mind if I use your bathroom?”

    “Like I always say, make yourself at home.” I told her as she took her bag from the floor. “D-Do you want to borrow a shirt?” I asked and gulped.

    “Sure.” She smiled and I stood up hurrying into my room grabbing a shirt from my drawer. She was standing in front of the mirror in my bathroom, tying her long hair up when I walked in and placed the shirt beside the sink. “Thank you.”

    Nodding, I closed the door behind me and continued to eat. When I was done eating everything on my plate as well as the side dishes I washed everything in the sink and waited for her. Should I prepare the loft? I thought and was about to head up the stairs when the bathroom door opened.

    She walked out wearing my shirt that I lent her exposing her left shoulder and her black bra strap. Her legs were bare as well and I just assumed that she was wearing a pair of shorts underneath, my cheeks heated up instantly. She wasn’t wearing any more makeup on her face and her hair was in a ponytail on her head. “I have a question.”

    I raised an eyebrow and gulped. “Y-Yeah?” She stood for a while in the kitchen while I was standing by the end of the stairs waiting for her to continue. She was fiddling with her fingers in front of her chest while looking down. It seemed like she was nervous. Nervous Heesung, hm?

    “What is it?” I asked and slowly made my way towards her but she took a small step back, surprising me.

    “I was wondering if I could…” She paused and looked up at me with furrowed eyebrows while still fiddling with her fingers. I also noticed that she was biting her lower lip. Is that blush I see on her cheeks?

    “If…?”

    “If I could sleep in your bed tonight…”

     My ears perked up, my eyes widened and my eyebrows shot up my forehead. Did I hear right? “My… My bed?”

    She nodded and looked around. “If it’s alright with you…”

    “O-Of course, I-“

    “With you.”

    Her eyes met mine and I felt a wave of electricity shoot right through me. “With me?” She nodded once again. “Please?”

    “Of course!” I gulped, it sounded a little louder than it should have. I awkwardly made my way passed her and into my room. “W-Wait a minute!” I said and began throwing laundry into a basket, quickly fixing books on my desk and made my bed decent. I threw in a pair of jeans into the basket and hurried out of my room and into my laundry room.

    She was still standing where she stood before with a small smile on her lips. “Five minute cleaning?” She asked and I nodded with a smile before walking into my room again.

    After a while I sighed heavily and sat down on my chair by my desk, turning it to my door where she was standing and waiting. “Ah, I’ll bring your bag in.” I said and got up letting her into my room. Taking her bag from the kitchen I looked around before going back to my room. Heesung was sitting on the edge of my bed with her legs crossed when I walked in placing her bag by my closet.

    I slowly took a seat beside her and we just sat there in silence for a while. I don’t know about her but I felt a little uncomfortable for some reason. Why did she suddenly want to sleep next to me in my bed? My face flushed. She has slept with me on my bed before but that was one time! And it wasn’t a whole night; it was when my brother was still here. I’ve been thinking about something for a while. Heesung’s been acting a little more… Open with me? I stole a glance at her and noticed that she was looking at her phone in her hand.

    She doesn’t complain about me kissing her, or even acting a little lovey dovey with her. Does this mean she does have feelings for me as well?! My eyes widened at my own thought and stood up to take a seat on my swivel chair instead; she looked up for a moment but then continued to scroll through her phone.

    Does she like me as well? Stealing another glance at her she was now lying on my bed on my pillow with her legs bent. Argh, I’ve never understood girls! I’ve never had a girlfriend before either… “Heesung.” I gulped and turned to her, still sitting on my chair. She looked away from her phone and sat up. “Yes?”

    Using my feet to roll the chair towards the bed I stopped the chair in front of her. I leaned my elbows on my knees so I could look her in the eye. She raised a questioning eyebrow at me.

    “I don’t understand.”

    “Wha-“

    “You act as if you have feelings for me but you say that you don’t.”

    Her eyes widened at me but I tried to remain a calm yet serious expression. But I felt that it wouldn’t hold for long when her eyes were looking at me like that, it made my chest hurt.

    “I need to know, do I have a chance or not?”

    She didn’t say anything at first and just stared at me with her wide eyes. Oh god, did I scare her? Keep calm Baekhyun, keep calm. She opened as if to say something but closed it again. She pulled her knees up to her chest and hugged them while looking away. She was silent for a moment as if she was thinking but I managed to keep my eyes on her. “I feel like I’m not good at love or anything like that… I don’t really understand how it goes.” She said and this time it was my eyes turn to widen. “My last relationship was… I don’t really know how to explain. A while back.” She added and glanced at me. “Did I hurt your feelings?” She asked in a soft voice then looked at me.

    I just gulped and felt a blush creep onto my cheeks. “Ah… N-No, I just… I-“

   A small smile appeared on her lips as she reached a hand out and softly my cheek with the back of her hand causing shivers to run down my spine. “You do have a chance.” She said and my heart stopped for a moment.

   “I- I do?”

   She nodded and I jumped out of my seat probably surprising her since she fell back on my bed with a shocked expression. “I have a chance?” I said maybe a little to loud. She blinked her wide eyes at me before slowly nodding. “Y-Yeah…”

    “And I- Oh my-“ My cheeks started to hurt from the wide grin I had on my lips. Alright Byun Baekhyun I have a chance! I fist pumped the air and heard her laugh behind me. Turning around I literally threw myself at her making her squeal onto the bed. “Yah, Byun Baekhyun!”

    “Mr. Byun Baekhyun.” I corrected her and nuzzled my nose into her neck for a moment before I stood up again. “I have to brush my teeth.”

    When I got back into my room after changing into sweats and closing the lights Heesung was already under my covers closest to the wall with her phone still in her hand. After closing my door I my bedside lamp and turned of my ceiling light then got under the covers beside her. “What are you doing?” I asked and leaned closer to her. “Nothing, really.” She sighed and sat up, leaning over me to place her phone beside mine on my nightstand.

    Fireworks could still be heard outside even if it was past two already, closing in on three. “This is like the best New Years ever.” I said and she turned to me.

   “Really now?”

   I nodded and smiled. “Yeah.”

   “Idiot.” She mumbled and moved closer to me until she was laying on my shoulder, my head on hers and my arm around her waist holding her close to me.

   “Goodnight…” She sighed and closed her eyes; her long lashes tickling my neck.

   “Hurry up and fall in love with me, Heesung…”
