Miracles in December

"Oh sheesh Hakyeon, get a life already!" Hongbin groaned as he watched his best friend roll around the floor. And no, He does not like to see people cry, not because he feels bad, he just doesn't like so much noise. And let's not forget that it happened to be 3:27 am at midnight.

"No I can't!" Hakyeon cried out, banging his head against the ground, making the bean by the corner wince.

"Stop that. You already have issues with your brain I don't want to deal with more" Hongbin wrinkled his nose, giving a judging stare at the older in misery.

With a sigh, Hakyeon sat up straight on the ground, staring deep in hongbin's eyes "You know how Wonshik is throwing that Christmas party right?"

"Who's wonshik"

"That guy who looks like a larva in our class? Back in high school?"

"Oh yeah that kid. What about him?"

"So we are invited to that party" Hakyeon took a deep breath "Andsoishansanghyuk"

"Who is Sanghyuk?"

"I'm amused how you managed to snag his name out of that and also, how the do you not know any one from school? And he was my crush since high school, since that day he gave me his pencil so I could take notes in bio" he batted his eyelashes, staring off dreamily as he said the last sentence

"Ah that guy" Hongbin let out a snort.

Han Sanghyuk, aka Hyuk, was the most popular boy back when they were in high school, He was handsome, athletic, smart and nice to everyone. So to simply put it together, he was literally perfect. But there also happened to be tons of other girls and guys who had fallen head over heels for Sanghyuk.

Hongbin poked at his cheek with his tongue "Buuut why do you wanna hide from him?" He asked curiously. "Last year, Valentine's Day.. I was going to ask him out but I was stuttering so much in front of him he just gave me this look and walked away" Hakyeon pursed his lips then sighed, flopping down on to his bed "He probably still thinks I am a creepy loner who stalks him"

"What the does that make me?"

"Okay fine, that creepy kid with only one friend who stalks him"

"It's not like he knows you stalked him" Hongbin muttered, crossing his legs on his bed.

"Then he must be dumb"

With a hum in agreement, Hongbin stared off in to distance, getting lost in to his thoughts for a few minutes before sighing "It's hard.."

"I know right? I don't want to go but at the same time I do because of him-"

"What?" Hongbin gave him a judging stare "I was talking about picking what to wear. So when is the party again?"

" You"

"I wish”

"Shut up, and it's in two days so.."

"Great! That gives me enough time to go shopping tomorrow" Hongbin squealed a very unmanly squeal before hiding back under his covers "Good night".

"Ugh" Hakyeon muttered before trying to get some sleep again. After all, he wouldn't want eyebags.

“I just hope you drop that behavior of yours along with the new year” Taekwoon mused, stirring his coffee with his straw “You have been acting pretty weird you know”

“Define weird” Hakyeon challenges with a raised eyebrow,

Taekwoon smirked, resting his chin on his clasped hands “You are poking your fingers in your hot chocolate” he raised a suggesting eyebrow with a sweet smile as he eyed Hakyeon’s index finger wander around his glass. Hakyeon glanced down at his hands, grimacing at his fingers that were swimming in the chocolate, he quickly wiped his fingers and glanced around. Sure enough, few people were giving him odd looks. He turned to face the smug faced Taekwoon with a huff, “So do tell me” Taekwoon smiled.

Hakyeon rubbed his temples with his (somewhat sticky but clean) fingers “Okay how do I say this..” he stared off in a distance for a while before opening his mouth again “Okay so” he stared directly at Taekwoon’s eyes “As we all know, Wonshik, is throwing that party right? And I heard Sanghyuk was going to be there, and as well all know I have this huge crush on-“

“Sanghyuk” Taekwoon finished, “And you are scared to face him because you either don’t want to be hurt or you don’t want to look at him again. Or both”

“Yes yes yes yes, also kinda because I made a fool out of myself back in high school in front of him but yes” Hakyeon nodded to his every word seriously.

Taekwoon rubbed his chin thoughtfully “Wonshik told me he is single though” he sipped his drink “You can always ask him out or something that night” He pointed out. Hakyeon sighed “I am just scared..” he bit his lip then smiled up at Taekwoon “Thanks for the advice thing?” He scratched his head awkwardly.

Taekwoon let out a snort “I wouldn’t call it advice”

“Neither would I, but you can always add something to make people feel better” he flashed a smile before grabbing his bag and drink “Well I guess I’ll just leave now then. Oh and pay for me?” He said sweetly, dashing out of the café with a bright smile.

Hakyeon laughed to himself, pleased with his antics. He strolled through the mall, eyeing the shops carefully. All of his surroundings were decorated with colourful deco for Christmas and the New Years, A certain decorated shop for clothes caught his eye immediately, he instantly ran inside. Maybe checking out a few outfits won’t hurt he thought in excitement as he examined the shirts on sale.

“These are 50% off at the-“

“I know honey I am not blind, I can read that tacky and bright sign your poor put up- oH MY GOD” Hakyeon clamped a hand over his mouth in shock, standing in front of with a very very very confused look was non other then Han Sanghyuk.

“I-I” Hakyeon stuttered with wide eyes. forcing a smile he scratched awkwardly behind his reddening ears “Um..What’s up?” He chuckled. Sanghyuk smiled playfully “Oh I was having a pretty good day until a certain aunt marched in to the store I work in and snapped at me” he teased with a small pout.

May god bless Cha Hakyeon and let him Rest In Peace because he was pretty sure he had died.

Mentally cursing himself, he smiled awkwardly and turned to resume looking through the shirts with a red face.

“I should get this for Hongbin” he murmured, feeling in the softness of the white and red striped shirt with long sleeves.

“Oh? Who is Hongbin?”

“Jesus!” Hakyeon spun around, startled “why the are you still here-i mean..I didn’t know you were there..” he set his lips in a tight lipped smile. Sanghyuk blinked innocently at him “So whose Hongbin? Is he your boyfriend?” He questioned again, eyes sparkling underneath the light casting down from the ceiling.

Hakyeon stared back at his eyes, mesmerized. He quickly blinked and realized Sanghyuk was saying something. scared to ask to repeat again, he just dumbly nodded “Yeah..” he smiled, squealing internally when the man in front of him smiled goofily

“Great then, congrats by the way” he walked towards the shoe aisle to arrange some shoes.

‘I guess he must have asked about dance’ Hakyeon decided, before rushing to pay for the striped shirt and a pair of blue jeans. “Binnie will like these..” he mumbled under his breath, placing the items on the smooth counter.

Sanghyuk immediately popped up and scanned the clothes "I hope he does too" the other smiled, folding the clothes neatly and slipped it into a shopping bag "aaaand that would be 58.60” Sanghyuk announced.

He opened my wallet, pulling out a couple of bills

"Okay here you- Sanghyuk?" Hakyeon glanced around, puzzled. Where did that boy go? One minute ago he was standing in front of him and now he was gone. He spun around when He heard a loud laugh, eyes widening at the sight he saw.

Sanghyuk, had his arms wrapped around a girl. And not just any girl, this girl was literally perfect, from her great figure to pretty face and bubbly aura. They were laughing together at something and her laugh sounded angelic. Hakyeon bit his lip, tearing his eyes away from the couple to count the cash in his palm.

"Okay bye! I love you" Sanghyuk yelled as the girl left the store with a flying kiss.

"Here" Hakyeon whispered, avoiding eye contact, with eyes glued to the ground as he placed the cash on the counter.

"Okay thank you for shopping here" Sanghyuk reluctantly thanked and Hakyeon instantly dashed out of the store.

'Well ' he thought, wiping at his eyes.

_____________________________________________________________________

“I didn’t waste $230 on our outfits for you to change your mind at the last minute just so you know, you " Hongbin crossed his arms across his chest as Hakyeon sobbed in to his pillow.

"Well who the hell told you to buy clothes for us both?" Hakyeon pointed out, voice cracking at the middle.

Hongbin rolled his eyes "no body needs to tell me what to do you know" he purses his lips "and by the way, I am a good friend so of course".

Hakyeon frowned "I don't have a reason to go at all" he hugged his pillow "He has a ing girlfriend" his mouth twisting in to a grimace as he said so.

Hongbin pursed his lips, thinking for a while "You know." He began softly "You don't need him at all, Just come Okay? Make him regret for not choosing you" he grinned goofily as Hakyeon blinked up at him.

"O-Okay" Hakyeon mumbled, staggering over to freshen up in the toilet.

"That's my boy!" Hongbin praised, only to receive a middle finger In response.

" you and your wise words and manipulation methods" Hakyeon scrunched up his face as he pressed a towel to dry his face.

"But you love me"

"Point taken"

Hongbin pulled Hakyeon in to a chair "Okay let's make him regret" he announced happily, picking up a thick brush, patting it against a powder compact and applying it on the older's face.

______________________________________________________________________

"What's the time now?" Hongbin asked after a few minutes

"Around..9:30" Hakyeon mumbled in return,

"Great then! We have enough time and guess what? You are ready to go" he declared and dragged the boy out of the house.

"How do you know where to go?" Hakyeon looked at his with a weird expression "I thought you said you don't know who Wonshik was"

Hongbin rolled his eyes as he got in the car "I don't, but Siri does"

"I don't-"

"They said Siri knows everything" Hongbin interrupted, opening his phone "Siri, take us to Wonshik-"

"Sheesh I'll drive" Hakyeon snatched the phone, throwing it at the back seat and sliding in to driver's seat when Hongbin ran after his phone.

_____________________________________________________________________

After twenty minutes of Hongbin complaining about his phone to how lonely he was, they got to Wonshik's place.

"I'm so happy you managed to come to celebrate the birth of-" a not so sober Wonshik greeted them at the door and Hakyeon forced a smile, despite the fact he was secretly judging the younger in front of him and slowly slid by Wonshik, "-I'm really happy, so happy, oh wow that -no wait I have a boyfriend". Hakyeon rolled his eyes and dragged Hongbin along.

"So..what now" they stared at the crowd of people dancing to the loud music, the stench of sweat and food flew in the air as they examined the area more.

"Um..I dunno, I came here cause you wanted to-you know what? I'll just get drunk or something" He scurried away almost instantly, leaving Hakyeon in disbelief.

'I'll go grab a snack' he decided to himself, walking over to the snack table in delight.

He bit into a slice of pizza and eyed the dance floor, everyone was busy dancing and chatting to their friends.

He recognized Hongbin screeching to the song playing on the speakers with his shoes on his hands, rolling his eyes, he took the box of pizza off the table and sunk down on the couch. Chewing away on the box, glaring at whoever that gave him a look.

"Well hello there" Hakyeon glanced up with a mouth full of pizza, to meet with a grinning Taekwoon

"Hello to you too" Hakyeon muttered through his mouthful of pizza.

"You look pretty lonely" The other commented, sitting down next to the older

"I'm fine" Hakyeon mumbled with a frown.

"No you aren't"

"Yes I am" Hakyeon argued

Taekwoon rolled his eyes "Well..wanna look for Sanghyuk?"

"no"

"Okay then.."

"I like how we are so similar" Hakyeon sighed "We both are so lonely and in need of a love life-"

"What?" Taekwoon sputtered, sending Hakyeon a odd look "Who said that? I have a ing boyfriend"

"Well then , I'm lonely" Hakyeon scowled, taking a huge bite of the pizza "So who is it?"

"Oh it's Wonshik" Taekwoon casually answered, taking a sip of his drink, watching Hakyeon choke on his bite.

"You okay?

"No!" Hakyeon cried out "I didn't even know oh my god" he stared at the other in disbelief as he sipped on.

"Well now that we know that, let's get you a boyfriend" Taekwoon grinned, eyes scanning the dance floor.

"I already have a boyfriend"

"No you don't"

"I'm satisfied with pizza, thank you very much" Hakyeon huffed, "me and this pizza has a very smooth relationship" he smiled to himself, taking another bite.

Taekwoon just hummed in acknowledgement, gazing around the room more, examining the tiniest details of the boys present. "What about that guy over there?" He asked, eyeing the man from head to toe. "He is too..quiet" Hakyeon narrowed his eyes, judging the said man.

Taekwoon pursed his lips, thinking deeply about the situation. Hakyeon needs to get a boyfriend and he is determined to help his friend out his of loneliness. He patted the older on his back, sympathetically before dragging him towards the drinks table. "You know, you should get drunk or something. Hey you..in that hideous shirt, pour him up some vodka", that man gave him a offended look but slid his order towards them.

Hakyeon stared at the glass that was slid to him in daze. Unsure of what to do.

"Drink it"

"I don't wanna"

"Hakyeon don't make me pour it down your throat"

"I can't take alcohol well and you know that- mmph" Hakyeon gasped as Taekwoon grabbed his chin and poured the contents of the shot glass down his throat.

"You need it" he patted the older's back with a smile, "drink some more and you shall be fine" and then he skipped off.

Hakyeon hummed to himself, prehaps a few more drinks won't hurt he decided before taking a can of beer off the table and finishing it off in one go. "It's not so bad" he muttered unconsciously, taking another can. And that turned to two, three, four and five.

He ordered for a cocktail after his five cans, his senses flooded and hazy and of course, he was more then tipsy. The man finished up his drink and gave him a concerned look before handing him the glass. Hakyeon smiled lazily at the man "Thank you random man" he giggled before stumbling towards the couch and jumping down on someone sitting on the couch "hi there mr. stranger, I don't think we met before but let's talk! You are really handsome you remind me of the guy I liked since high school, he was waaay handsome then you" he babbled to the confused looking man "You know what his name was? It was Han Sanghyuk, gosh he was so cute but he has a girlfriend now so I am very very sad" playing with his fingers as he chatted on and on.

"Hakyeon!" Hongbin called, running up to him, a bit sober then before. He smiled at the man who had Hakyeon on his lap "Sorry if he was bothering you, he has really low alcohol tolerance and all" the man just smiled back and helped a giggling Hakyeon stand up.

"Well bye bye mr. handsome stranger, I'll miss you" Hakyeon pouted, hugging the man tightly "I think we can replace Hyukkie with you" He slurred, limping towards Hongbin "bye!" He yelled, blowing a kiss.

Hongbin rolled his eyes and swung The older's arm over his shoulders "Jeez can you stop being so hyper?"

"Nooo.." Hakyeon burst into giggles, hanging off Hongbin's shoulders lazily.

"You should thank me for not throwing you off into some stranger's arms and go have fun on my own" Hongbin muttered in annoyance as Hakyeon giggled even more into his neck.

"You love meeeee" Hakyeon squealed "I wish Sanghyukkie loved me" He pouted childishly, limping along with Hongbin.

"Heeeey Hongbin!" Wonshik yelled in excitement "they are setting up a chocolate fountain, wanna come and check it out?" He giggled, taking a huge swing off the bottle of tequila.

"That doesn't sound so bad" Hongbin grinned "I'll be right there- Hey can you watch my friend for me okay thank you" He pushed Hakyeon off his neck to the guy from earlier and rushed to find the chocolate fountain.

"Binnie left mee" Hakyeon wailed in to the man's chest "Hyukkie left me and I am so lonelyyy" he crossed his arms across his chest sulkily. The man stared at him with an amused smile "Really?" The man questioned, a playful edge to his tone. Hakyeon nodded with a pout "they don't care about me"

"How can you be so sure?" The other chuckled

"Because I know!" Hakyeon stuck his tongue out at the man.

"I see" the man smiled at Hakyeon.

Hakyeon giggled again, "You are very handsome mr. stranger" he latched on to the man's neck "I wish you were hyogi" he sighed loudly, red flushing his cheeks under the influence of the alcohol.

"Okay everyone gather around. We need to finish with the countdown " Taekwoon clapped his hands, dragging a very drunk Wonshik to the center of the room. Hakyeon squinted, tugging on to the stranger's shirt "Mr. Huge nose, they are having a countdown to the end of the world!" He said seriously, eyes wide. The man just smiled at him and dragged him to join in the crowd circling around a Wonshik and Taekwoon. A huge clock stood behind Taekwoon, decorated with messily applied glitter.

"You know Mr. Huge Nose, I read a book about Christmas miracles and stuff, there was this really nice one. It was about this guy...he likes someone aaaand then you know what happened?..They kissed when the clock struck twelve on Christmas Eve!..it was so romantic" He sighed, "I wish I can get a kiss from Hyukkie.." he pouted. The stranger smiled at him again, "unfortunately, I'm not capable of doing any of which you want, but there is something I can do for sure". Hakyeon blinked innocently "What could that be?"

11:58

"Hmm I don't know..what do you think?" The man smirked down at him,

Hakyeon thought for a while, "Are you going to kill me?"

The man sighed but shook his head "Nope.." he grinned, caressing the other's cheek.

11:59

Hakyeon frowned "mr. huge nose, are you going to kidnap me?"

"I thought I assured you that you are safe with me?"

"Hmm yeah! but then I can always think"

"true.." he lifted the older's chin, smiling gently at him

"Merry Christmas Hakyeon" he whispered into his ear before leaning into capture his lips.

00:00

Everyone cheered and yelled greetings of "Merry Christmas!" And threw confetti around, bursting into loud yells. "Merry Christmas and Happy New Year’s you ers" Taekwoon threw some more of the confetti around, then went back to eating by the snack table while rubbing his arms. Even with all that happening around him, Hakyeon stood there, frozen with his lips on the guy in front of him. His eyes closed as he deepened the kiss more.

After what seemed like hours, The stranger released his lips with a soft smile "Come on let's get you home" He chuckled at the dazed expression he was giving "Are you still drunk?"

"Nope"

"Yeah you are, let's go come on" He laughed, grabbing Hakyeon's arm and dragging him to the exit.

Hakyeon pouted "I will miss you Mr. Huge Nose" He blinked up at him once they stood outside the house, Skin glowing under all the light of the moon. The stranger smiled at him "Maybe one day we shall meet again" He responded softly.

Hakyeon crossed his arms across his chest, breaking into a grin "Okay then!" He exclaimed, taking a shaky step to go home, only to fall down with a cry. "Let me help you" The man chuckled, putting Hakyeon's hand over his shoulder and helping him walk "Where is your car keys?"

A pair of keys dangled infront of his face. smiling, he took them and pressed the button to find the car. He put the drunk boy in the back and punched in the address the other mumbled, putting on the seat belt.

“I will miss youuuuu” Hakyeon whined from the back, rolling over and sticking out his bottom lip. The stranger glanced at him with a amused face before focusing on the road “I know” he answered. Hakyeon pursed his lips “I wonder what sanghyukkie is doing..he is making out with his girlfriend right? They must be-“

“We are here” the stranger announced, cutting off the other and opening the door, helping him out of the car. “Yay now i can cry to sleep” Hakyeon giggled to himself, snatching the keys out of the man’s outstretched hand and magically finding the key to his door “I’ll be leaving then” the stranger waved, turning to leave

“No wait!” Hakyeon called out, eyes squinting

“Hmm?”

“Wanna smash?”

“Maybe later” the man laughed and walked away. Hakyeon pursued his lips, closing the door and falling down on the bed.

______________________________________________________________________

When he woke up, he realized quite alot.

Firstly, Taekwoon had managed to find his way into his house and was clanging a pot against a spoon and yelling in to his ear. Secondly, apparently he had abandoned Hongbin at the party and Taekwoon was forced to drive him. Thirdly, he was not sleeping on an actual bed but the doormat. He rubbed his eyes and stretched his limbs “What happened” he yawned, squinting around.

“Go to the toilet you will throw-“

Hakyeon grabbed his mouth with wide eyes and ran to his bathroom, throwing up all of his stomach’s contents into the toilet bowl with a groan. “Oh my god why did i drink so much” he rubbed his eyes, limping over to the kitchen. Rubbing his head as he went, “My head hurrrts” he wailed loudly, pouring a cup of water and slumping down on a stool.

“That’s what you get for drinking so much” Taekwoon pointed out, placing a mug of warmed milk,a blueberry sandwich, and an egg. “Hmm where is hongbin” he questioned, taking a bite out of his sandwich, chewing slowly. “I dunno, i should go wake him up” He went to climb up the stairs “I feel like some sort of mother” he muttered as he went. “That’s cause you are!” Hakyeon yelled, wincing when he felt as someone was pounding a sledgehammer in his head. “Shut up and eat your ing breakfast” Taekwoon yelled back from upstairs, followed by screams to wake up the sleeping man upstairs.

“God, what happened last night” Hakyeon mumbled with a frown, taking a sip of his milk. Footsteps of Taekwoon coming down the stairs sounded, along with whines of pain from Hongbin “Ow O-Ow Taek” Hongbin screeched as Taekwoon dragged him by his ear and sat him down on the stool next to Hakyeon, flicking him on the forehead. Hard.

“That hurt” Hongbin complained, voice husky from the sleep. “Well that wouldn’t have happened if you had listened to me in the first place” Taekwoon pointed out, pouring a glass of water and a bowl of cereal.

“Hey hyung” Hakyeon called, getting up and placing his dishes in the sink, leaning against the counter and watched Taekwoon cut some vegetables.

“What do you need now?”

“Who brought me home last night?”

Taekwoon furrowed his brow and placed the knife aside “I am not really sure but you did hang out with this guy alot last night”

“Who?”

“I don’t really remember but like, You clung on to him all night, You talked to him a lot too, complained to him too” Taekwoon informed, staring at Hakyeon for a couple of seconds and then moving on with cutting. Hakyeon hummed, “okay then, i will just go and wash up” He hopped off the counter, giggling at Hongbin sleeping in his bowl of cereal, flicking his forehead before skipping upstairs to the bathroom.

He stopped by his room to fetch some necessities, pausing at the sight of his phone connected to the charged. ‘I will just check out what is new and keep it’ Hakyeon thought, sliding his phone open and scrolling through his notifications

‘You have received a text from unknown’

He frowned at that and clicked on the notification, wondering who it could be.

“From: Unknown

I had fun last night, Thank you for that sweet present :)

Meet me at the library at 11:30 pm”

Could that be that guy he was attached to last night? And what present? Who was this? Should he go there? Clucking his tongue, he grabbed a sweater and some pants. There was no time to take a shower if he wanted to meet this man. He slipped on the sweater and jeans, running a hand through his hair to ruffle it a bit. After applying a bit of foundation and a teeny bit of black at the corners of his eyes and his usual lip balm, he ran downstairs and pulled on a warm pair of socks. Chuckling, at the sight of Taekwoon trying to get a half sleeping Hongbin to finish his cereal.

“I am leaving!” He yelled after putting on a pair of converses, Taekwoon instantly was by his side, inspecting his clothes “Put on a hoodie and a scarf, child you will freeze” He nagged, grabbing said items and wrapping them around me “Oh and where are you going?” He narrowed his eyes suspiciously, “Uh. To visit a friend”

“Why?”

“Okay..um, here is what happened..so my friend, got a pet..uh..lion cub, and..it bit him so he is at the hospital getting a..um..new pair of lungs” He forced a smile “Yes i know it sounds very much tragic” He let out a fake sigh, peeking up at Taekwoon’s horrified face and waved “I will be leaving now, okay bye” He ran out of the house, ignoring Taekwoon’s calls to bring along a pair of mittens.

He ran inside the library, rubbing his hands to keep them warm as he sat down at a table. “Where is he..” He muttered under his breath, gazing around the room to notice it was partially empty except for an elderly couple and the librarian. He checked the time, it was five minutes past 11:30, He sighed, scrolling through his phone to kill time.

“Hello”

He glanced up to see one of the assistant librarians holding a cup of coffee “It’s quite cold so please do take this” She smiled at him and placed it on his desk before running away, He smiled after her, whispering a quiet “Thank you” and focusing back on his phone.

Customers went in and out, but none that was familier. he checked the time, 13:58. He bit his bottom lip, maybe he wasn’t going to come, maybe he-

“Hey I am sorry I am late”

“It’s fine” Hakyeon mumbled, avoiding to match eyes with this man, staring at the floor as he seated himself in front of him. They stayed like this for a few seconds until he broke the silence “So you won’t even look at me?” He heard him chuckle “Even after all that happened last night, I am hurt” Hakyeon sighed and looked up, wanting to ask him what happened that night-

Oh my ing god

Hakyeon’s heart exploded, his ears turning pinker then the usual tinge of pink from the coldness, eyes widening and cheeks lightening up.

Han ing Sanghyuk

“W-WHAT DO YOU KNOW” He screamed, his screaming echoing around the quiet room. He stood up and covered his mouth in shock while Sanghyuk smiled a boyish smile calmly at him. “Well” he began “I know for sure that a certain Hakyeon liked me from highschool, and he thought i had a girlfriend oh and he wanted to kiss me too.. i think that’s it? Oh wait, you wanted to smash” His eyes bubbling with light as he spoke. Hakyeon’s mouth fell open and his cheeks coloured even more “I-I” he stammered, not even sure what to say. Oh my god, he cringed as he imagined how he must have sounded last night. “I-I am so sorry I wasn’t in my senses-“

“Aw don’t apologize, It makes me feel useless now” He pouted and Hakyeon wanted to die. “S-So, um what else happened”

“Hmm let’s see...oh yeah, you were rambling on and on about these Christmas miracles and romantic stories, then you said “I want a kiss from Hyukkie” a mischievous smile had taken full grace over Hyuk’s lips as he talked.

“A-And then..?”

“And then? Well nothing happened”

“Oh..” Hakyeon sat down in his chair, bringing the coffee cup to his lips

“Oh and yeah we kissed after that, just like how you wanted it to be. Right at 12:00 in the midnight” Hyuk exclaimed dramatically, finger in air.

Hakyeon choked on the coffee, Holy -

“I-I am-“

“Ey i told you to stop apologizing, i will feel unwanted” he did that pout thing again and Hakyeon wanted to stab himself and jump off a cliff.

“Y-Yeah but you had a g-girlfriend-“

“I never did, i am clearly single”

“No, that girl that came when i came to your shop-“

“That’s my sister”

“Oh”

They sat silently, Hakyeon looking down at his hands with red coating all of him and Hyuk smiling down at him. “S-So..what now?”

“what now? Well, I kind of want to kiss you again. What about you?” He blinked innocently as if what he said was so casual. “I..um..dunno” He mumbled, raising his eyes a bit, Hyuk was still smiling at him. Hakyeon his lips nervously before leaning in and pressing a quick peck to Hyuk’s soft pink lips and hiding under his arms. “That was cute” Hyuk chuckled, Hakyeon could tell he was trying to , he relaxed all of him, placing his arms on the table. “So is that all..?” He asked quietly, watching Sanghyuk’s every move carefully. “Well not quite, wanna step outside?”

“Kay”

Hakyeon waddled outside, Sanghyuk right behind him “So..why did you invite..me?”

“So we can spend some time together. Alone”

“Oh” Hakyeon stuffed his hands into his pockets “Is it cold?” Sanghyuk whispered and Hakyeon nodded slightly. “Give me your hands”

“W-Why”

“To keep you warm” Sanghyuk grabbed Hakyeon’s wrists and intertwined their fingers together “Body heat helps the most”

Hakyeon blushed harder, staring at their intertwined hands, feeling Sanghyuk squeeze his hand every two or three seconds. “U-Uh thanks” Hakyeon mumbled and Sanghyuk just smiled.

“Your lips look cold”

“U-Um, what now?”

“What now?” Sanghyuk repeated, stepping closer to Hakyeon, “Now we kiss” He murmured, leaning into capture his lips for the third time. Hakyeon’s eyes widened, still confused but shyly responding to the kiss.

Snowflakes slowly dropped down from the sky but none of the two could care less, all they clearly cared was each other. The coldness remained immune to them, as long as they had each other, they knew everything will be alright. The small kiss that invited so many emotions from both of them, a flicker of heat warming up the insides of the two.

Hakyeon’s eyes fluttered open, eyes widening slowly when he realized what was happening. Sanghyuk was kissing him. ‘Ohmygodohmygodohmygod’ His heart hammered loudly against his chest, It was finally happening..for the third or second time but he did not care, He was just ecstatic.

They finally released each other from the kiss, Sanghyuk smiling down at him and Hakyeon’s mouth open and face bright red. “S-So..?” Hakyeon stuttered, unsure of what to say. “So? Oh now we are a couple” Sanghyuk announced ever so casually, Hakyeon stared at him for a good minute, unsure of whether to believe him. “Can’t believe it? I can always kiss you again-“

“Nope, You don’t have to” Hakyeon interrupted, suddenly shy “I believe you” He breathed, wrapping his arms around Sanghyuk’s neck and hugging him tightly “Thank you..This is the best gift I could ever get” He whispered. Sanghyuk patted his small back “You’re welcome, darling” Making Hakyeon blush at the name “Merry Christmas, love” Hakyeon smiled, releasing him from the hug and intertwining their fingers together again. “Merry Christmas to you too Hakyeon” Sanghyuk replied, ruffling Hakyeon’s hair with a soft smile.

They stood like that, under the sky as the cold air brushed past them. Silence enveloping both of them warmly. Sanghyuk rubbed Hakyeon’s fingers, opening his mouth to speak again “Are you still cold?”

“Hmm, nah why you ask?”

“Cause, I think you earlier said..what was it again? Ah yeah..you wanted to smash” A grin spreading across his lips as Hakyeon groaned in embarrassment “So what?” Hakyeon asked, embarrassment evident all over his face.

Sanghyuk hummed “Well do you wanna smash?”

Hakyeon looked at him, as if to ask ‘Are you serious’

“And yes-Ow!” Sanghyuk gasped falling on to a startled Hakyeon “Oh are you okay??” Hakyeon asked, panicked.

“Don’t you even dare lose your ity before you get married” Taekwoon commanded, frying pan glinting in the air.

“TAEKWOON” Hakyeon screamed, dropping a dizzy Sanghyuk and chasing after the boy with a stick laying nearby “COME BACK HERE”

“HOLY HAKYEON STOP” Taekwoon screamed back, running as fast as he could “THIS IS NOT HOW YOU TREAT YOUR MOTHER-“

Sanghyuk rubbed his head and slowly sat up, smiling at the sight of Hakyeon running after Taekwoon with a stick. It was adorable. Hakyeon glanced at him, yelling a quick “I love you, Hyukkie” before bolting away. Sanghyuk chuckled “I love you too..Hakyeonie” He whispered, slowly closing his eyes with a smile. Everything was perfect now, He had Hakyeon in his arms and that’s all it took.

“Best Christmas Ever”
