Description

 

 

It’s New Year’s eve. Like their yearly tradition, Hyukjae and Donghae are supposed to spend it together—as best friends. “Supposed to spend” because like the idiot that he is, Hyukjae has forgotten about it and sashayed away together with his friends to get wasted. 

But who could blame him? The summary of his year was just too sad and pathetic—he’s drunk almost 365 days of the year, he’s single, almost 30, and still hopelessly and stupidly in love with his best friend.

 

 

 

Foreword

 

"When the bells all ring and the horns all blow
And the couples we know are fondly kissing
Will I be with you or will I be among the missing?

Maybe it's much too early in the game
Ah, but I thought I'd ask you just the same
What are you doing New Year's, New Year's eve?

Wonder whose arms will hold you good and tight
When it's exactly twelve o'clock that night
Welcoming in the New Year, New Year's Eve?

Maybe I'm crazy to suppose
I'd ever be the one you chose
Out of the thousand invitations you received

Ah, but in case I stand one little chance
Here comes the jackpot question in advance
What are you doing New Year's, New Year's Eve?"

 

What Are You Doing New Year's Eve, Ella Fitzgerald

Chapter 1: This is an interesting angle. That Hyukjae's distance and tsundere-ness was to do with stifling his own (assumedly) one-sided feelings. Obviously it was unexpected to Donghae too.

As unexpected to (dummy) Hyukjae as all the countless ways Donghae has not-subtly confessed his own feelings through songs.

They're both so whipped and hopeless for each other, a perfect pair of idiots. Lovely happy ending/beginning. ♡

Chapter 1: That was angsty in a good way. I'm glad they realized how much they need and love each other.
