The Christmas Party.. And Gifts

One Twist After Another

Amber P.O.V:

 

Well, I almost forgot, it's almost Christmas, and it was Key's idea that we all go to a party downtown at the community center. I feel like I've been waiting forever to get out of that stupid dorm that I've been trapped in for almost 2 months. Rachel got me something that stuffs my stomach in so I wouldn't look so bloaty. I thought it would hurt the baby, but I didn't turn it into such a huge problem. I also thought it might be a good idea to wear a wig so no one would notice me. Just in case. So Rachel bought me a long brown wig. . . . BIG mistake. It was SOOOOOOOOOOO ICTHY! I told Rachel and she got fed up. "But it was terribly exspensice! I don't wanna buy another!" she pouts to me. I guess I can take it for one night. When we got to the party, it. . . was. . . soooo. . .BORING! Until SHINee got on stage and performed. The hosts would've done anything to get the party going. They also let Rachel sing solo, my excuse was that I was sick and at home. I wanted to sing, and rap, and in most of our songs, we sing, but I couldn't because I was to believe I wasn't there.

 

Something I noticed while Rachel was singing though was that when she was, the guys were talking at a table, Jonghyun had his back to the stage, but would repeatedly turn around, look up and smile. He even winked at times. Rachel didn't notice but I did and it caught my attention. Soon, the presents were about to be passed out to everyone. All the guys got out gifts for each other and Rachel and I. Ahhh.. This was great, we all came together to have fun and give thanks to one another. Rachel told me she's been waiting to celebrate a holiday that was to be celebrated in America as well as Seoul and that she was rather homesick. She recently got in touch with her brother again and she can't stop talking about it, so I'm guessing she's happy. I still wish she could keep a stable relationship with her mother, but after her little "visit", that's obviously not gunna happen. Onew and I were laughing about a blonde joke Taemin cracked, when I looked over at Rachel, standing in front of Jonghyun, opening his present. Jjong just watched her unwrap the gift, then grow a shocked look on her face. While Jjong just smiled, I got so curious! I couldn't tell what the gift was. Rachel suddenly pulled Jonghyun into another room. What did he get her?? I felt someone tap me on my shoulder. I turn around to Key, my heart skipping a beat. "Come with me!" he beamed and dragged me into a small doorway. "What are we doing here?" I giggled as he put my in the small, confined space in front of him. He then pulled a small box out of his pocket, like a little box to hold.... jewelry. Whoa.. He got me a ring? That is the sweetest Christm--.. Wait, he got me a stuffed unicorn, and he gave it to me an hour ago! So what in the world is this for? "Amber, I know we're not old enough yet, but I want to know, if I asked in the future, would you marry me?" Key asked while opening the box that held a small ring with an adorable green diamond.. Peridot.. my birthstone. I felt myself gasp and my heart stop beating. I felt like I was in a romance film. I cupped my hands over my nose and mouth, but I couldn't take my eyes off of the ring. "Yes, Kim Kibum, I would" I gasped in between the tears of happiness that were now streaming down my face. A huge smile grew on his adorable face and I could start seeing tears in his eyes as well. "You're crying" I giggled. "Tears of happiness, love" he choaked, trying to jerk the tears away, but failed, which made him look all the more sensitive and innocent. "But still why? You asked me, why are you crying?" I asked, still confused. He suddenly took my hand and put the ring on my finger, then pulled off my wig, in a way in which a groom would take off his bride's veil to reveal her face. He cupped his hands to my cheeks and kissed my lips in just the right place. I felt the butterflies in my stomach start to wake up and fly around. "Because you said yes" he finally managed to say. By this time, he was crying more than I was. He gave me the tightest hug. I would marry him anyday

 

Minho P.O.V:

 

I stood by myself. Rachel was singing a slow Christmas song that was so pretty. She seemed like she had something on her mind. But what? The party was almost over and everyone was slow dancing, one song after the next. Key and Amber were dancing of course. But she was Mi-yung, not Amber. We came up with a fake name for her just in case people asked who she was. I couldn't help but notice the green ring on her hand. Since when does Amber wear jewelry? And where'd she get it? Onew would be dancing with his girl, but alas, she was on stage, so he danced with Jjong, or play danced with him! What dorks. Soooo..... where's Taem-- "MINHO!!" I heard him yell in delight behind me. "Taemin!!" I unenthusiasticly yell back. I was really tired. And I had something on my mind that was breaking my heart. Taemin knew about it too. He ran up to me and gave me a bear hug. "Wanna dance?" he asked calmly. He asked me as if he knew I was going to reject him, but when would I ever?! But something did stop me from saying yes. "Taemin, I know this is gunna be hard to hear, but... our relationship--" "Will never be accepted" he sighed, finishing my sentence. "I was hoping you'd understand" I sighed looking down to the floor. "I'm not gunna let it stop me, if I love a guy, I'll stay with him.. I mean.. you" Taemin giggled. I felt myself sigh in relief. "You love me?" I asked quietly. He only nodds "I always have" I grabbed his waist, not being able to stop smiling, and swung back and forth with him. He put his arms on my shoulders and we started to dance to Rachel's voice. People within the center stared at us with confusion.. But I didn't care... At all

 

Rachel P.O.V:

 

I sat next to a table, leaning against it while standing up. I felt like I was at another concert.. Oh well. At least it was over. Everyone had given out their gifts, but I felt like something was missing. I turned thinking. Oh yeah! Where's..? Then I turned around to him. "Jonghyun!" I yelped surprised. Did I forget to give him his gift? ... No! I remember giving him his jacket! He then pulled out a box. "from me to you" he smiled. "Awwww" I laughed and slowly took the box and began to unwrap it. I started to see a body... Then a face.. Then I found out what it was.. A baby doll. I gasped, it looked just like me when I was very young, and a ribbon on it, with my name written in pink. "It's.. It's a baby doll" I said contently. trying to hide my shock. It must've been a coincidence. But that's so scary. I started to feel my eyes water. How Jonghyun? How? "Come here" I silently said, my voice breaking as I pulled him into another room. Any other room. I see myself walking into the front door of the community center, where everyone entered, except now, it was dark, all the lights were shut down, and it was huge and echo-ish. "How did you know?" I asked stopping him next to the door, staring at him in the eyes. "So.. You like baby dolls?" he laughed. Obviously, he didn't know. "You don't understand" I sighed shaking my head.I gave him the baby doll, still in the box. I pulled out my wallet, holding a picture of me and my brother when I was a year old. I put the picture on the box so he can see the resemblence "That's me" I said pointing to myself in the picture. Jjong's eyes widened. "You look just like the doll" he gasped. He then smiled "Heh, you're a dollface!" He giggled "That's not the point. How did you find a doll that looks just like me?" I exclaimed "I've never shown you a picture like this so I'm shocked" I continued. He just stood there and stared at the ground. My hair didn't start turning grey until I was three, so it was a tad easier to find a baby doll that resembles me, let alone find an actual clone! "I-im sorry" he said shyly. "No! That's not what I mean!" I exclaim again. "I'm not mad at you! This is the best present I've ever been given" I said sweetly. I was going to hug him, but when I almost did, a leaf fell on my face, falling from the ceiling. We both look up to see a . . . Mistletoe. Oh goodness. I look back down at him. "Can't break the spirit" he laughed. That is true, but I don't want it to be. But I can't kiss Jjong! The only person I feel comfortable kissing is Onew! What do I do? Well it'll only be one time, We leaned in slowly at the same time. So slowly, as if we were still making up our minds. Then, it finally happened, our lips touched and I was kissing my boyfriend's best friend. But we're under a mistletoe, and that's a good enough excuse, right? I noticed and couldn't believe soft his lips were! I slowly closed my eyes to take in the moment. Does this even happen to people like us during Christmas time? I've, in truth, never kissed anyone under a mistletoe. Beautiful music began to play. A thousand winds, one of my favorite Korean songs. It filled the room and echoed in such a nice way. Then I could feel him hold my hands, when I started to feel up his arm with my hand. This didn't feel right, not at all. "Isn't this considered cheating?" I thought to myself in my head. I did tell myself I only feel comfortable kissing Onew, but I was as comfortable as comfortable could get! I felt like I could stand there forever with him. I was taking this all in when I realized that we had been kissing for almost 3 minutes! Over and over, I went deeper in the kiss. Why am I doing this at all for? I didn't plan on this! I could've just ran away when I found out what we were standing beneath. Why did I agree to kiss him? I could've denied a kiss from him, or kissed him on the cheek. Another minute went by when we finally broke away. I only looked at him, and he looked back. Then I felt myself start to blush. When he saw my face turn pink, he smiled. "Thank you. . .  for the present" I sighed. "Which one?" he laughed. I punched him lightly on the arm. I started to laugh along with him. Of course I referred to the doll, which was now on the ground. I must've dropped it and didn't notice. I bent down fast to pick it up. "Right", he said pointing to the baby doll. "You're welcome" he said softly. His voice made me giggle. I gave him a hug. It felt very warm, and since it was cold, I needed it. we went back to the party room, where everyone was. We laughed with them. . .and talked with them, as if nothing. . . ever. . . happened. . .
