Final

To Another Year with You

            “Seulgi-yah~! Are you almost done? It’s ten minutes ‘til midnight!”

            “Yeah, I’ll be down in just a sec!”

            Seulgi pulled out drawer after drawer, looking for Joohyun’s makeup kit to sharpen up the black smudges around her eyes and brighten the crimson on her lips. She was gradually losing focus with the booming bass resonating from the floor below and the grapefruit soju settling in her system. Earlier, Joohyun had given her shot after shot of various liquors as if Seulgi was miraculously heavyweight to her eyes. She didn’t know how much of her lipstick was left on the rims of shot glasses and how many times she cried laughing because of something ridiculous a drunken Byulyi did, but she figured it wouldn’t hurt to sneak upstairs into Joohyun’s bedroom (with the older woman’s permission, of course) to clean up just a little bit.

            For some reason, because Joohyun was barely the sociable type in any way, the older woman thought it would be fun to throw a New Year’s Eve party and invite a close group of their friends, some of who went all the way back since high school.

            “Come on, it’d be fun!” Joohyun had said when they were talking about it one day during a casual dinner date, and now here they were two weeks later, drinking to their heart’s content—maybe a little bit past it—while catching up with good ole friends and waiting for the clock to strike midnight to signify a new beginning.

            Capping the red lipstick, Seulgi dropped it into the drawer of other makeup kits Joohyun owned before sluggishly closing it back into the white vanity desk. She struggled a little bit, the drawer moving side to side and not settling straight into place like she wanted it to. With a grunt, she drunkenly jammed it back in, rattling everything else on top of the desk. Just a few seconds after, a clatter sounded so blaringly loud to her ears, and she winced, glaring down at the offending noise.

            “Oh, shoot…”

            She hurriedly crouched down and attempted to gather up all the belongings back into the box that fell from the vanity desk. Seulgi had no idea whatsoever what it was, but she figured it was important, like a box of mementos judging by the ticket stubs, jewelry, and polaroid photos. She didn’t want Joohyun coming in and smacking her up side the head when the latter realized she messed up her things.

            Seulgi felt her body heating up, her chest constricting, her head pounding. Ah, the alcohol had settled at last. She thought to herself to drink some water before she dared pull another silly stunt like she did twenty minutes ago—taking a shot with everyone who came into the kitchen, who wanted to take shots as well. There was a total of ten individuals who barged around the dining table, and Seulgi knew when she would wake up the next morning, she would hate herself to the core.

            Rip her dancing body and the abs she worked so hard for.

            On second thought, would she even make it to the new year at this rate? She barely knew her own limits.

            Still, she continued to breathe heavily as she tried to place the mementos back into Joohyun’s box as gently as possible, but she hurled a double take, bringing a polaroid photo close to her face so that she could clearly see the two individuals printed.

            “Wait… that’s me?” she mumbled. “And Hyun?”

            Her eyes drooped down to the slightly smudged ink below the picture.

            08/01/14: Our first date <3

            Realization hit Seulgi like a truck when all the miscellaneous items in the box were some of the things that Joohyun took from their memorable dates. All from when they first started dating. She continued to stare at the polaroid picture, a smile gradually etching across her face as she recalled how their first date went three years ago.

            “There is no way we are going to ride that thing, Kang Seulgi!”

            Seulgi turned around with the bright grin still plastered on her face, forefinger pointing at a monstrous rollercoaster shooting off to the sky. Joohyun was practically trembling at the sight, her hands reaching out to Seulgi’s free hand to tug her back in a different direction.

            But Seulgi wouldn’t budge, lightly hopping in her spot while still pointing at the rollercoaster.

            “Oh, come on, Hyun! Please? Pretty please?” she pouted. “Just this one time? I’ll buy you all the churros that you want!”

            Seulgi felt victorious for a split second when Joohyun was evidently thinking about the offer until the latter forced up a strong front yet again and shook her head.

            “No, we ride that thing and I’ll break up with you.”

            The threat didn’t sway Seulgi in the slightest.

            “Aye, you would never,” Seulgi said, finally moving from her rooted position to stand closer to Joohyun. “You love me too much.”

            Joohyun frowned and playfully shoved Seulgi away before marching off to a different direction. Seulgi was giggling while chasing after her girlfriend, smoothly lacing her fingers with Joohyun’s.

            “Okay, we won’t go on the rollercoaster,” Seulgi gave in, and she saw Joohyun visibly lose tension in her shoulders. “Only if you’ll buy me a dole whip!”

            Joohyun stared at her and laughed. “Of course I will.”

            Anything but that darn rollercoaster…

            They strolled around the amusement park for a couple more hours, trying out booths here and there, winning prizes as small as their hands, eating greasy foods to satisfy cravings that were buried deep down. The night sky soon hung over them, but the amusement park was still as lively as ever when Seulgi and Joohyun continued to walk around hand in hand, smiling at little antics other patrons did around them. It was still summer, practically one of the busiest seasons other than winter for amusement parks and the like, which explained the bustling number of children, teenagers, and adults.

            They came to a stop and waited in line for the Ferris wheel since Joohyun wanted it to be the last attraction before they head home.

            “I thought you didn’t like heights?” asked Seulgi, as they move closer and closer to climb into their own booth.

            Joohyun looked up at the big wheel before them, admiring the flashing tinkle of lights decorating each covered cart and spreading out to the middle of the wheel. She loved how it gradually changed from one color to another and would idly stand afar to gaze at it for as long as she could if she had the chance to. With Seulgi, of course.

            “I… I think I’m okay with them to some degree,” said Joohyun. “I’ve been on this very same one before as a kid, so now I know it’s reliable in some way and I won’t fall to my death.”

            Seulgi chuckled. “I think the poles intersecting in the middle would stop you before you did.”

            Not that long after, they stood before the operator of the Ferris wheel, who smiled and gently allowed them to climb aboard their cart. With their hands still conjoined, Seulgi led the way and seated them on one bench, eyes immediately peering off to the side once the wheel started moving. It stopped every now and then to let other individuals off and awaiting patrons onto their own carts. Seulgi was still looking off to the side in awe, amazed at what the amusement park looked like from above. It was a field of bright, pretty lights that Seulgi wouldn’t get tired of looking at.

            “Seulgi, let’s take a picture,” Joohyun said after a period of comfortable silence, and when Seulgi turned back to look at the former, she already had her purple Polaroid camera facing them in selfie mode.

            Seulgi scooted closer, their thighs touching, and she smiled brightly at the camera with her eyes closed. She felt Joohyun’s head leaning against hers before a bright light flashed through her lids.

            “I hope you didn’t do anything silly in the picture,” grumbled Joohyun, as if she knew Seulgi’s tendency to stick her tongue out whenever they take group pictures with their friends.

            “Oh, was I not supposed to?”

            Joohyun glared at her and bumped her away from her hips, but their hands were still interlocked so Seulgi didn’t move away too far. The younger still laughed, though, and observed how Joohyun was looking at the polaroid, watching it gradually develop.

            “Don’t worry, I made sure our first picture together as girlfriends would have my cheesy grin.”

            Joohyun chanced a glance at her, smiling.

            The Ferris wheel was now moving around in a smooth, continuous rotation. Joohyun looked off to her side of the cart, finally taking the time to admire the city lights below them. She moved just a tiny bit closer to place her small hand against the cool window, carefully peering down at the attractions.

            Seulgi continued to watch her girlfriend. Suddenly, the sight of the amusement park from above was uninteresting to her. She looked down at their intertwined hands, up Joohyun’s bare arm, and finally at the back of Joohyun’s head. Joohyun turned slightly to the side, a small, toothy smile making an appearance.

            This had to be a dream.

            In what world, in what universe, in what lifetime was Seulgi lucky enough to have someone as beautifully perfect as Joohyun?

            It was then Seulgi realized that she truly wanted to spend the rest of her life with Joohyun. Beauty might fade over time, but Seulgi knew that Joohyun was still a beautiful person inside.

            Their time on the Ferris wheel was coming to an end by the likes of their cart making abrupt stops every now and then. When they were briefly stuck at the top of the Ferris wheel, Seulgi truly felt like she was on top of the world.

            “You know, I think I’m getting better with rides.”

            Seulgi raised an eyebrow. “Say that after you go on the rollercoaster with me.”

            Joohyun glared at her with her beautiful eyes.

            Angry or not, Seulgi still found her stunning.

            “You want to lose a girlfriend already?”

            Seulgi gently placed the polaroid picture back into Joohyun’s memento box. She couldn’t help the goofy grin from forming on her face, recalling every single precious moment of her first date with Joohyun. That was definitely one memory of her entire lifetime that she would never ever want to forget. They had started officially seeing each other for a few days before Joohyun piped up excitedly about wanting to go to their local amusement park. Of course Seulgi couldn’t say no—rollercoasters and fattening park foods? Definitely one of the best dates she ever had.

            The next item Seulgi picked up was the first necklace she bought for Joohyun early on in their relationship. It wasn’t anything too fancy or too expensive, just a simple silver lining with a small, solid heart pendant. Yet, Joohyun wore it every day until Seulgi bought a prettier and lovelier necklace that she was sure the older woman was donning at this very moment. Joohyun wore whatever accessory Seulgi bought for her like a charm, like a telltale sign that she was definitely taken, a way to let the world know that she had such a wonderful girlfriend who would buy her pretty gifts every now and then.

            It was no special occasion—no anniversary or birthday to celebrate. Seulgi randomly bought the necklace when she was window shopping at their local mall, thinking that it looked simply pleasant in its own way. She recalled not seeing Joohyun wearing necklaces often, and when she did, it was usually the same short, pendant-less one that her mother gifted her when she was a teenager.

            Seulgi remembered that Joohyun wearing a necklace was one of the sights she fell in love with, chain and pendant charmingly hanging over collarbones and all, and she wanted nothing more than to see her own gifts wrapped around Joohyun like a pretty accessory.

            “Hyun, I was at the mall earlier and I thought that this would look nice on you.”

            Seulgi couldn’t have picked a better time to give a gift to her girlfriend. Joohyun was moving to and fro in the kitchen, flour sprinkled over her cheeks and gently laying on top of her hair strands. Her sister’s birthday was tomorrow, and she was making a chocolate cake, one of little Bae’s favorites.

            “Really, Seulgi, I’m in the middle of baking a cake here.”

            Seulgi sheepishly grinned. Free of flour and cake mix, she stood behind the messy yet still attractive Joohyun. The latter’s hair was already up in a high ponytail, which made it easier for Seulgi to dig into her jean pocket for the necklace she carelessly bought earlier today so that she could put it on her.

            “Just stop for a few seconds, please?”

            Joohyun stopped moving, arms coming to a halt from mixing the cake batter. That brief moment of silence and stillness allowed for Seulgi to unlatch the heart necklace, gently hanging it over Joohyun’s slender neck.

            “There,” she said, fastening the latch.

            Joohyun turned around, eyes casted down onto the necklace, trying as hard as she could to look at the pendant. The necklace was kind of short on Joohyun—pendant resting just slightly below the spot where her lovely collarbones met.

            “This is pretty cute,” Joohyun complimented.

            “Can you even see it?”

            Joohyun pouted at her and purposely pushed Seulgi by the hips with her flour-coated hands.

            “Hey!” Seulgi gasped, looking down at the flour matted over her black jeans, and she reached over behind Joohyun to pat her clean hands into the pile of flour lying on top of the kitchen island, mussing up Joohyun’s already floury look.

            Joohyun emitted a high-pitched scream from the unsuspecting attack—actually, Seulgi was going to get her dirtier in the kitchen whether she helped with baking or not because she just seemed to have a knack for unintentionally messing things up—and soon after, they engaged in a food fight with cake mix enclosed in tight fists and uncontrollable laughter erupting from bodies.

            “I’m already dirty here, Seulgi.” Joohyun playfully growled at her. Seulgi was standing by the round dining table now, a good distance away from Joohyun who was next to her baking station. They both had flour in their fists, ready to throw it at the offender should any one of them come near.

            Seulgi glanced down at herself. “Same here, Hyun. I have nothing to lose now.”

            She was the one who took a step first, almost immediately met with fingers spreading apart to grant her a familiar view of the sifted powder. A rapid flinch was all it took for Joohyun to grab Seulgi by the hips, pulling their bodies flush together, powdery lips enclosed with one another. Seulgi dazedly released all the flour in her hands before automatically latching her arms around Joohyun, deepening the kiss.

            They kissed for a moment’s longer, white staining their clothes, dirtying their hairs, standing in an equally dirty kitchen in Joohyun’s apartment. It was like Joohyun was robbing Seulgi of air but at the same time she was also her only will to live, so much so that Seulgi couldn’t help but keep kissing her, keep loving her, because Joohyun was her source of breath.

            Until Joohyun reached over and slithered her fingers through Seulgi’s fairly clean hair, white mix seeping down to the scalp, emitting a sharp gasp from the latter. Now it was just as dirty as hers.

            Damn Joohyun and her distractions.

            Joohyun’s housemates would be sure to bury her alive if they came home to this sight.

            Seulgi wanted to retaliate, but the older had quite a firm grip on her head.

            “Thank you for the necklace,” Joohyun whispered against her lips, a smile stretching not that long after. She gently touched the heart pendant.

            Seulgi couldn’t help but smile. “Of course. Now you know my heart will always be with you.”

            Joohyun rolled her eyes and shoved Seulgi away. “Always so cheesy…”

            Later that night, Seulgi spent time learning about another one of Joohyun’s favorite hobbies—doing laundry. They were fresh out of the shower in Joohyun’s spare clothes with the older woman working her magic in another area of expertise. Seulgi vowed to watch from afar this time, not daring to mess up any of Joohyun’s skills because she was darn sure the flour on her clothes weren’t an easy stain to remove.

            And she didn’t want to imagine having a laundry fight with detergents and all.

            Seulgi placed the heart necklace back into the box, noticing that it was still in very fair condition. Couldn’t expect anything less from Joohyun, someone who always took the utmost care of her own belongings.

            She rummaged through the box one last time and came across a love letter she had written for their second anniversary. Oh, lord, she could feel a cringe coming as she recalled the numerous times of her writing and rewriting, thinking of the right words to jot down, hoping that she didn’t come off as cheesy as she usually did when it came to romantic gestures. She wanted to sound genuine and nothing like the love sap words one would typically hear in chick flicks.

            And it really did come from her heart—she didn’t ask Seungwan or the internet for help.

            Joohyun surprisingly didn’t call her cheesy that time.

            “Happy second anniversary!”

            They were at one of their favorite, top-tier restaurants in town—Mangia. It was a small, authentic Italian place, bearing dimmed lighting and maroon leathered seating. Despite how delicious their pasta and rice dishes were and how complimentary their golden, crispy bread was, Mangia wasn’t busy whenever Joohyun and Seulgi came, which made it all the more better to have their comfortable second anniversary dinner here.

            The atmosphere was too mellow and romantic for couples not to fall in love again.

            They had just finished their dinner when Seulgi handed Joohyun her share of the gift, a wrapped rectangular piece along with a letter neatly enclosed in a lavender cardstock envelope addressed to: Hyun <3.

            “What did you get me?” asked Joohyun.

            Seulgi merely smiled as a response and gently nodded to the gift, urging her to open it.

            “I’m sorry if it’s not anything special,” she said, watching Joohyun’s deft fingers moving across the gift wrapping paper.

            Joohyun had not completely removed the gift wrapping, but her jaw slackened at the sight before her, eyes trailing all across the rectangular photo frame.

            It was a collage of photos of just the two of them together ever since they first started dating two years ago. The picture smack dab in the middle was a scan of the polaroid that Joohyun had took at the amusement park. Some of the other photos were from many other dates from then until now, like when they went on vacation overseas with just the two of them, at an art museum, or at a friend’s extravagant 21st birthday party. On top of the photo frame were the words: Seulgi <3’s Joohyun, sharp hearts of all sizes decorating each side of the words. At the bottom was: Happy 2nd Anniversary!
            “Not anything special, my …” Joohyun mumbled. “This is wonderful, Seulgi!”

            Seulgi cradled her head in her hands and delightfully watched Joohyun trace a finger over each picture, smiling.

            “Oh, please. I’m sure your gift is much better.”

            “Um, about that…” Joohyun did that pouty look she always did when she wanted to make a joke, and Seulgi knew it, because Joohyun’s lower lip protruded and her eyes down casted, which were the signs. “I didn’t get you anything…”

            Joohyun did that one too many times to Seulgi now.

            “I’m going to stick my foot up your , Bae Joohyun.”

            Joohyun laughed that beautiful laugh of hers (because she knew it was just a harmless threat) before reaching down next to her seat, bringing up a small gift bag.

            “I’m sorry I’m old school,” Joohyun warned.

            Seulgi peered into the bag, but was blocked by a bundle of wrapping tissue. “Of course you are, you’re heaps older than me.”

            “Hey!”

            Seulgi flinched at the sharp kick Joohyun delivered to her shin, but giggled despite the increasing pain. She kind of deserved that; Joohyun did say before how she didn’t really like people teasing her for her age. Her mental age was very far from her physical age sometimes.

She reached into the bag and pulled out a thin, rectangular plastic case. A CD.

            “I made you a mix of all our favorite songs that we listened to together,” said Joohyun.

            “Wow, you really are old school,” Seulgi teased and looked at Joohyun’s neat handwriting on the front of the CD. “You know we have Bluetooth speakers and AUX cords now, right?”

            Joohyun rolled her eyes. “Gotta give it to you to ruin any moment.”

            Seulgi crept her fingers across the dinner table, laying it gently on top of Joohyun’s idle hand resting by her empty plate. She caressed the back of her soft hand with a thumb.

            “I’m kidding. I love anything that you give me.” She ran a finger over the case. “Could we listen to it on the way back?”

            Joohyun nodded. “Of course.”

            A sharply dressed waiter walked by and politely handed them their check, saying to take their time. As soon as Joohyun reached into her bag for her wallet, she just remembered about the other part of Seulgi’s gift.

            “Oh, didn’t you get me a letter?”

            Seulgi flushed almost immediately. “C-Can you read that when I’m not around?”

            “Aww…” Joohyun cooed. “Is little Seul bear embarrassed?”

            Any other time Seulgi would have immediately rejected that idea, but she looked away from Joohyun’s teasing gaze, cheeks blooming to a healthy blush.

            “Yes.”

            “Okay, fine. I’ll read it later.”

            They rode while listening to the mix CD the older woman made. Seulgi felt as though she was listening to every song for the first time again with a different perspective. It was odd, how listening to a song on a CD felt somewhat different than searching it up on YouTube and listening to it as a background track as one did their daily tasks. The tracks were the only noises entering Seulgi’s ears other than the faint traction of Joohyun’s tires and the latter making remarks here and there, like how this was the first song they listened to and fell in love with together on a summer trip to the beach. When she first found the songs to show Joohyun, she had fell in love with the lyrics and the instrumentals of it at first. But now, after listening to the songs again after quite some time, she had found a new reason to fall in love with it all over again.

            Just when Seulgi thought their second anniversary celebration couldn’t get any better, they ended up at Joohyun’s apartment, one that she had rented after graduating from college and landing a job that paid enough for her to get by. They didn’t have to be cautious around housemates anymore, didn’t have to worry if they were being too loud or causing a great ruckus to their slumber.

            “Our anniversary isn’t over just yet.” Joohyun’s voice was sultry and oozing with tension that only the two of them knew well enough of.

            The mix CD resumed from where it left off when they got out of Joohyun’s car at the complex. It became background noise now, soft melodies playing into the atmosphere as they tangle themselves with each other, dresses and hairpins strewn over Joohyun’s bedroom floor.

            Dear Lovely Hyunnie,

            Tell me that I’m not dreaming.

            Tell me that everything we had for the past two years was real, that this isn’t just a fantasy I’m living in.

            I feel like it’s too good to be true to be with someone like you… Honestly, what did I do to deserve you? I seriously must have saved a country in my past life or something.

            I’ve dreamt of my special someone ever since I was a little kid. I dreamt of a love that my parents had, dreamt of sleeping and waking up next to the love of my life. I had always wondered what that kind of love was like, why was it that whenever couples are together, they’re always smiling even when they’re doing the tiniest things to make the other happy.

            But then I realized that you don’t really have to do anything grand to make anyone happy. Just being there right by your side, watching as you do your every day things or basking in your comfortable presence is enough. Just you being here is enough.

            I didn’t think my dream would come true.

            I fall asleep and wake up almost every day to your beautiful face. If not, then I fall asleep to your voice, something that I would want to hear for the rest of my life.

            It’s been nothing but two blissful years with you, Hyun.

            And I really hope that we can continue on forth for as long as we can.

            Happy second anniversary.

            Seul <3

            “Seulgi, it’s almost midnight!”

            Seulgi gasped and jolted at the loud banging of Joohyun’s bedroom door hitting the wall on the side. Well, there was definitely going to be a hole, all right.

            But Joohyun, who was flushed from head to toe, didn’t seem to care. All she saw was Seulgi crouching on the ground, looking through the mementos she had kept throughout the years.

            “Hyun, you kept… all of these?”

            “10!”

            “9!”

            “8!”

            Joohyun nodded. She made her way over to Seulgi.

            “7!”

            “Of course I would.”

            “6!”

            “What kind of girlfriend do you think I’d be to throw these things away?”

            “5!”

            “I… I just didn’t think you would keep them…”

            “4!”

            “Are you saying that our dates aren’t special enough to keep them?”

            “3!”

            “N-No, it’s just that—”

            Joohyun was looking at her strange, face flushed and all, and then she lunged forward, messily grabbing Seulgi by the neck to press their mouths together. They settled into the kiss almost immediately, eyes closing, chests heaving. Seulgi relieved a small breath before molding their lips together even more, hands reaching over to hold Joohyun by her waist. This was probably why Joohyun was so frantic to look for Seulgi during the countdown.

            “2!”

            “1!”

            “Happy New Year!”

            Happy New Year indeed.

            Joohyun had ended their year and begun a new one with a kiss, hoping to signify in some way that they would remain the strong couple they were for another year and counting.

            “Happy New Year…” Joohyun whispered against Seulgi’s lips. She subconsciously smiled at how Seulgi practically slumped against her.

            “You just kissed me into the new year,” muttered Seulgi. “Cheesy.”

            “Sorry, did I take your job?”

            Seulgi tightened her hold around Joohyun’s waist, head resting at the crook of her neck. “Nope, I guess it’s your year to be the cheesy one now.”

            “Oh, great. I’ll definitely best you at that, then.”

            Seulgi snickered into Joohyun’s neck before lifting up her face to shoot one of the most playful glares she could in her drunken state. “You wanna bet?”

            Joohyun’s eyes trailed back and forth from Seulgi’s sharp eyes to her red lips. She narrowed her eyes and pulled her lower lip back between her teeth.

            “Bet.”

            Eyelids automatically came to a close when Joohyun leaned back in for another kiss; however, Seulgi felt extremely uncomfortable, as if everything that she had consumed within the past few hours wanted to make an exit. And it wasn’t from the usual exit.

            “I’m going to throw up.”

            Seulgi hastily pushed Joohyun aside, scrambling up to her feet and almost tripping over Joohyun’s outstretched leg on her mission to get to the restroom as fast she could. Fortunate for her, there weren’t any occupants, so she barged into the restroom, hand to .

            She didn’t completely feel like throwing up just yet, she just had a bit of an inkling, but the second she looked down at the toilet, she vomited.

            “Oh, baby, why did you drink so much?” Joohyun cooed, grabbing all of Seulgi’s hair into one hand as she rubbed her back with the other.

            Seulgi would have retorted right then and there and put the blame on her for making her down this much alcohol, but she retched once again.

            It took another movement or two of puking, feeling like she was throwing up her stomach, until Seulgi finally settled, throat burning and all.

            “It’s all your damn fault, Hyun. How dare you ask me why I drink so much,” she rasped out.

            Turning to look over her shoulder at Joohyun, who was as equally flushed as her but could definitely hold her alcohol better, she saw a stunned expression washing over her face. Why was Joohyun looking at her like that? Like…like…the first time they ever met each other? Seulgi wasn’t sober. She couldn’t tell if she was seeing this correctly. Joohyun was holding her gaze with warm, melting orbs, saying so much with her expression but saying so little with .

            “What is it?”

            Joohyun blinked, snapping out of her trance. She shook her head and delivered one of her signature lopsided smiles, where the left corner of seemed to tug up just a tiny bit more. A sight that never failed to make Seulgi’s heart skip a beat, but she would never admit it in this horrid state.

“Nothing. I felt like I just fell in love with you all over again.”

            Seulgi raised a brow. “Seriously? While I’m here disgustingly barfing my stomach out?”

            “Yes,” Joohyun merely said, leaving it at that. “Let’s get you cleaned up and head down for some water.”

            The younger nodded, turning on the sink faucet to wipe clean. Thankfully none of her vomit got onto her clothes or hair. She turned to see Joohyun standing by the doorway, an outstretched arm waiting for a familiar warmth to wrap around her own hand.

            Seulgi effortlessly slithered her fingers down the spaces between Joohyun’s, holding it firmly. Like her hands were made to hold hers.

            “Happy New Year, Hyun.”

            Here’s to another year and many more with you.


Ah, SeulRene is as tragic as ever, even into the new year... Haha, just playing...

Anyway, here is the shot that I promised! I hope you all enjoyed it.

May all your wishes for the new year come true! And I hope you all had a very fun and safe new year!
