Back to December

Description

When time gives you a gift to go back to your past and clear up a misunderstanding, all your actions will lead to an alternate ending. From this you have to decide whether you want it like this or if you preferred it the way it ended before you changed everything…

Foreword

Jung Daehyun never believed he would succumb to anyone’s beauty. He was a model after all. Models were fit, good looking and he excelled in all those fields. He smirked when the photographer looked genuinely amazed at how fitting he was for their endorsement. He loved his job, his income rate was  higher than most men his age and he was good at it. He knew that he was good by the countless calls from magazine companies and his constant appearances on front page magazine covers. This gave him quite the social standing, both in the workforce and the public.

He did not plan to fall in love at work. The flawless perfection before his eyes, the woman that monitored him through her 70-300mm camera lens.

“Daehyun, could you look away from the camera and focus into the distance towards your left?” the photographer suggested but Daehyun couldn’t oblige.

He wasn’t looking at the camera but the person behind it, her.

“Daehyun?” The female said and removed the heavy looking camera away from her face. Revealing features that tugged on Daehyun’s heart.

“Ah, yes. Sorry I was lost in thought for a moment.”

The photographer smiled understandingly and raised her camera to her face once more, “That’s alright. Just a few more shots to go and you’re done.” She informed.

Encounters like this could either go one way or the other. Daehyun could either try to court her or never see her again. But just this once he wanted fate to guide him. If he were to see her again, the first thing on his mind was nothing more than to know her name. He wanted to place an identity to the photographer. He wanted to know who she was, her habits, her likes, dislikes, phobias, the little details she would overlook but he would treasure.

When the session was over, Daehyun only wanted it to last a little longer. He wondered what she thought of him as she saw him through her camera. What did her eyes tell her to make her press the shutter? What did he do to trigger that?

They said their goodbyes and Daehyun found himself immersed at the sight of the passion she had for her work. Checking through the photos they just took, picking out ones she was satisfied with. He thought: How can someone emit such grace while standing still looking at a screen?

Before his mind had the chance to generate deeper thoughts on the matter, a thick hand patted his back. He choked slightly in surprise.

“Good work today!” The producer congratulated and gave him a warm smile, “I look forward to working with you tomorrow.”

Daehyun smiled in return and suddenly paused, “Tomorrow?”

The producer’s head tilted, “Yes. Didn’t your manager tell you? We have a session tomorrow morning.”

Daehyun traced back to his discussion with his manager. How careless of him, he must’ve forgotten that detail. “Ah, yes of course. I look forward to seeing you again as well.” He said with courtesy.

The producer nodded and left to continue with further work.

“Tomorrow…”

Daehyun glanced back at the female photographer and a knowing smile graced his lips. Looks like his decision to trust fate was rewarded.

It was the first day of December tomorrow.

Chapter 10: Do not worry! I totally understand. And I will be here when you return, with arms wide open to embrace you once again. Personally, my advice is to save the chapter for when you are ready to come back. Perhaps, now I'm just speculating here, the cliff hanger will be a promise to us that you are back and will finish it :) Good luck with school! I know it is stressful. It's the closing of a door to a room you are familiar with and the opening of another to a whole new world. You need to keep your eyes open so you don't miss exciting opportunities that promise adventure :) So, yes, I understand completely. Have fun! You will be missed!

Chapter 9: Why do I have this horrible foreboding stirring up inside me? Something bad is going to happen. I don't want it to happen. What do you have planned? This delicate paradise will shatter with the briefest touches, I just know it. And I'm scared for when that happens, who will get hurt...

Excellent chapter! It was so cute! Keep up the good work!

Chapter 9: Gosh, December nearly ending in a blink of an eye, the happiness is going to end soon isn't it? And Time, something's up and I have this feeling it's going to be tied with everything else, Daehyun, Hana, that mysterious man, everyone!

Either way, another great update, keep up the good work! :)

Chapter 6: Wow. Been a long time and I just read your updates. Stuck in this chap, esp at the ending.
I was actually reading the 8th chapter and reading the beginning somehow made me suggest something and finally going back to this chap. The man, I mean Sunhwa's father.. I thought it's Mr Kang? Just my suggestion, cause.. yeah he wants to get revenge for his daughter and the 'him' he said should be the guy who had relations with both Jung Hana and Jun Hyosung since he wrote the names on sticky notes.
The most possible him is Daehyun. Jung Hana, cause she's his sister and the only fam he had. And Jun Hyosung, cause he loves her. Still need to write down many things, but yeah... just telling you what's in my mind^^ hehe sowwie.

Chapter 8: Such a wonderful update! I worry for Hana. I have a feeling something bad is going to happen and that's one reason for Daehyun breaking up with Hyosung...

My worst gift? A frozen, whole fish wrapped in newspaper (head and tail and everything. Even the eyes were still there). My uncle really did think I would like it. The poor man. He tends to forget that not everyone shares his love for fishing. He could have at least made it into sushi.

Chapter 8: Poor Hana, don't know if Daehyun should just tell her he's suspecting something or not :/

And as for gift? That jar of stars I never found out who the sender was! It's close to a year already :')
