summary: when kris meets angel ;v;

 The ski lodge is alive with excitement as the inhabitants enjoy the festivities. Kris sits peacefully on a sofa, away from the loud room, going through things on his phone as his cousin, Jongdae, approaches.

"Kris, dude, it's almost New Year's Eve, quit reading. Have some fun with the others", Jongdae says and raises his eyebrow. Kris looks up and starts, "Look, I'm almost done, just give me tim-" until Jongdae snatches his phone from him. Jongdae laughs and turns off the phone, "Your mom said your clothes are in the car. Get change and meet other people downstairs". With that, Jongdae tosses the phone back to Kris and walks away. It wasn't fair for Kris that his cousin got to stay with his with friends upstairs but the fact that Kris had to go interact with people that he doesn't know downstairs. He was even older than his cousin! Shouldn't he be the one downstairs? He sighs, mumbling some incoheret words before he stands up and follow his cousin's instructions. 

Angel's mom enters the room to find her daughter completely indulged in what she's doing on the laptop.  She crosses her arms and watches her. 

"Are you ing kidding me..." She shouts. She reads aloud the article about her bias dating a fan and squints closer to the screen. It had a photo attached of her bias and an unknown girl. "Are you ing kidding me!!!" She wails and collapses on her bed, "Why not me!!!"

"Did we really fly all this way so you can spazz over your beloved?" Angel's mom asks. She turns to her mom startled then grins, "Of course. There is never a day where I am not spazzing over my beloved". Angel's mom laughs and shakes her head, "Yeah, alright. Don't forget that it's the last night of vacation. Angel, the party remember?" And now Angel remembers. She seemed to be forgetting something as soon as she stepped into her room. Well , she thinks, there goes my chance of staying up for Inkigayo. She sighs, "Right. Yeah. The party, okay." She picks up her laptop and places it on her lap. From the corner of her eye, she notices that her mom's still there and tries to shoo her away. "Fine!" She gives up in the end and gets ready for the party. 

The party is in full swing as Kris enters and casually makes his way through the crowd. Angel is also making her way through the crowd and smiles when a random guy bows to her. She looks around and stops at an unoccupied seat and rushes towards it before anyone else could. 

"All right! How about that for a couple of snowboarders?" The host announces and the crowd cheers loudly, "Okay! Who's going to rock the house next huh?!" The host steps off stage as two spotlights move around the crowd until it eventually stops at Kris and Angel. The host grins and Kris is trying to politely decline but the people around him push him closer to the stage. He sighs in defeat and hops on stage. As for Angel though, she was casually looking around until something bright shone on her. She gets startled when the host points at her, "And you! Yeah come on, don't be shy". It's not that she was shy, she just didn't know what the hell was happening until she sees the stage empty. Oh christ, she thinks and stands up anyway. She couldn't do anything at this point. She reluctantly walks up on stage and stands there until she realizes that someone else is there with her. 

"You know what? Someday you might thank me for this" He says as he passes a mic to both of them. Angel is laughing sarcastically in her head before the host goes, "Or not". And leaves the stage.

Angel looks over to the other person, and notices that he is quite attractive and admires him more before the stranger starts speaking. "Hey- uhh- I don't know how to say this but..." He rubs the back of his neck, "I don't really sing. I mean.. I could try". Angel blinks for a moment and laughs, "Yeah, it's okay. Neither do I". They both pick a song that they knew the lyrics to. Before they start, Kris speaks up and reaches his hand out, "My name is Kris, what's yours?" Angel responds, reluctantly shaking his hand before she shyly retracts it. Both of them look at the host and he nods to the DJ then they both start singing.

Kris and Angel are bowing to the crowd after they finish. They smile at each other and head out into the balcony. 

"Seriously, you are really good. You're a singer right?" Angel asks, stretching her arms then looks at Kris. He smiles, "Thanks. You're not so bad yourself and well, not really. I had a few lessons until my dad made me drop out". Angel remains silent for a while until she whispers, "Why?". Kris sighs, "Uh well.. He wanted me to do basketball. You know, cause he's a coach and all.. He thinks I can be good enough to enter a team in the future". Angel nods, "Well if you're good at singing then I guess you're better at basketball". Kris shakes his head and gives Angel a small smile, "Nah, not really. I prefer rapping actually, but my dad wouldn't want to know that". 

Kris and Angel remain silent for a moment. Kris looked at her while she stared at the beautiful lake. He hadn't been able to see Angel properly inside because of the lights but now that they were outside in the dim light caused by the moon, she was beautiful. He hadn't realized how long he was staring at her until she looked at him.

"Anyway" He clears his throat, "Can I get your number... or..... something?". Angel laughs and takes out her phone, "Yeah sure". Kris smiles as they exchange details. "So anyway, I have to go... I need to check on my mom and see if she isn't drunk or anything" Angel hums and looks up at the sky. Kris sighs, "Well yeah, me too". There's another moment of silence until Kris discovers that Angel has left. He looks at his phone and smiles.

"Angel".
