He came unexpectedly twice.

Once, he came unexpectedly to the café.

Twice, he came unexpectedly to my heart.

But I like both.

Really, really love both.

He used to be a stranger before,

But he used to be mine after.

All I want for Christmas is him. –Baekhyun

…

The first day in December, D-25 to Christmas.

The whole streets in Seoul have been covered by slight snow, and the wind started to blow colder. Everyone seemed to get the Christmas passion more than the normal one. All malls had Christmas songs on the radio, all people had Christmas trees on their houses, all cafés played Christmas songs repetitively.

At the corner of the street, there was a big café named Le Grand Café. When you enter it, the bell above the door will twinkle and the good-looking waiters will greet you nicely, with a perfect bow. Don’t be confuse when you couldn’t found any waitress there, because all they had was just waiters.

The atmosphere there was nice and homey. And for your information, the menus were classy and seemed expensive, but the price was still reasonable. Christmas melodies came out from the stereo above the mini-stage, and sometimes the singer will come, and let his voice out rather than a stereo.

For the owner, eight waiters excluded the singer were enough to serve those customers. Suho didn’t like crowd and too many people with the same uniform. There were Jongin, Kris, Luhan, Chen, Minseok, Sehun, Lay and Zitao. The chef’s Kyungsoo, and the singer’s Baekhyun.

They served the customers well. Kyungsoo always cooked nice and high-graded foods everyday, and Baekhyun always sang his best everyday. And nowadays, all of Baekhyun’s song lyrics were about Christmas and Christmas. People enjoyed his voice, and he enjoyed singing. When they needed music, Jongin was always ready to sit behind Baekhyun at the mini-stage, and had the guitar on his hands.

The café’s still alive on 7 PM. Baekhyun held the microphone and knocked the top. “Hello, customers. For your information, if you want us to present a song, you’re be able to write a request on the form beside the cashier. We’ve had three song requests… One from our chef, Do Kyungsoo,” he chucked and glanced at the kitchen. “Mistletoe for my friends. Aww, sweet. And again, from Kim Myungsoo, our loyal customer, Santa Claus Is Coming To Town. Such a cheerful song, I and Jongin will play both of these songs. And the last one, Christmas Love from… Chanyeol. Wow, I have never seen this name before. Alright, here we go!”

Jongin strummed his guitar, and Baekhyun started to sing the first line on the song.

It’s the most beautiful time of the year

Lights fill the streets, spreading so much cheer…

…

Chanyeol was the man who requested before was the last one to leave this café. When the waiters were about to close the café, they realized that there was still a man.

“I’m sorry, sir. But we’re closed,” Luhan said.

Chanyeol stood up and cleaned his thigh from cookie crumbs. “Well then, I’d like to leave.” He said intimidating, and Luhan felt bad because of it. He answered Chanyeol nervously, “Sir, I didn’t mean to-“

“If you feel bad, bring the singer to me,” suddenly Chanyeol said so, and Luhan stared at him in disbelief. “What do you mean, sir? Our singer?” and Chanyeol nodded. “Bring him here.”

Luhan nodded nervously and walked towards the kitchen. Sehun who peeked him whispered, “What does he want?” and Luhan shook his head. “I don’t know. He said he wants Baekhyun,” and Sehun stared at Luhan confusedly.

“Where’s Baekhyun?” Luhan asked when Minseok was cleaning the sink. Minseok pointed at the little door towards the yard and said, “He helps Lay on the trashes. Why are you searching for him?” he asked, and Luhan immediately walked to the door. “Our last customer wants him,” he answered without even glancing at Minseok.

“Baekhyun-ah!” Luhan shouted, both of his hands were on the wall and Baekhyun who was throwing the trashes looked at him. “Yeah?”

“I don’t know why, but the last customer asked about you and he said he wanted to meet you,” Luhan explained, and Baekhyun cleaned both of his dirty hands. “What do you mean?” he stared confusedly at Luhan, and Luhan raised his shoulder. “You better meet him.”

Baekhyun nodded. He walked through the kitchen and washed his hands. When he was about to meet the customer, he had bad thoughts. What if the customer disliked his songs and complained?

When Baekhyun’s eyes met his eyes, there’s something interesting and passionate deep in his eyes. Baekhyun bowed and said, “Hello, sir.”

Unexpectedly, Chanyeol stood up and pat Baekhyun’s shoulder. Baekhyun has to looked up a bit to see his face, because actually Chanyeol’s really tall. Maybe Baekhyun was just as tall as his shoulder. Baekhyun stared at him with his eyebrow curved a little, and Chanyeol said, “Good voice. Keep going.”

Chanyeol released his hand from Baekhyun’s shoulder, and walked outside the café.

He did that for almost two weeks as a routine, and Baekhyun didn’t know what to do –seriously! That man came when the café was about to close, and he’s always been the last one to leave. Baekhyun didn’t know whether he should be angry, happy, or anything else. He started to love the routine without even knowing the proper reason.

Two weeks have passed, and now it’s December 21^st. Four days to Christmas, the Christmas-passion grew bigger in people’s heart, and wherever you go, you’ll hear Christmas songs from the stereo, and the singers. Le Grand Café also had more Christmas songs request, and Baekhyun enjoyed it.

He didn’t know why, the whole waiters also didn’t know why indirectly they have accepted Chanyeol. Two weeks have changed them, and there’s no more awkward feelings when Chanyeol came. Chanyeol has been popular between the waiters, although weeks ago he was just a normal customer and a stranger they have never known. They talked about him and his unknown reason to came everyday and listened to Baekhyun’s voice.

Chanyeol was also near with the waiters. They had a chat everyday when the café’s about to close, and sometimes Chanyeol helped them to close the big door. No one knew his true motive, but everyone felt happy when they’re with him and they felt like he’s no more a stranger.

At that day, when Chanyeol came, Baekhyun was sitting at his chair on the mini stage with a paper in his hand. Chanyeol was curious, so he approached him and said, “What are you reading?” Chanyeol walked to the other chair, sat on it and took the guitar. Baekhyun was surprised, he looked back immediately and said, “You surprised me.”

Chanyeol answered with his eyes on the guitar. “Did I?” His fingers were dancing at the strings, and Baekhyun stared at it. Amazing, he thought. A simple but nice melody came out from the guitar, and Baekhyun said, “You’re good.” The song was so sweet and calm, but also passionate and cheerful.

“What song is that?” Baekhyun asked curiously, and Chanyeol stopped his guitar. “You don’t know this song?” he said with his eyes staring straight at Baekhyun, and yeah, Baekhyun was scared because of those eyes –he didn’t know why, Chanyeol’s eyes had something ‘special’ in it. He shook his head lightly.

“All I Want For Christmas.” Chanyeol answered with his eyes staring straight at Baekhyun, and his lips created a wide, light smile. Baekhyun couldn’t help but staring straight at Chanyeol. This guy had something attractive and hypnotizing in himself.

“I don’t want a lot for Christmas, there is just one thing I need…” Chanyeol stared at the guitar, he sang with small volume with his fingers still playing the guitar, but it was really enough for Baekhyun. He stared amazedly at Chanyeol’s face with a light smile.

“Don’t care about the presents underneath the christmas tree…” Chanyeol continued, and Baekhyun started to progress the song in his brain. Chanyeol raised his face from the guitar, and now both of them were staring one another.

And the night went like that. Two person staring each other with one of them singing was the best scenery ever happened.

…

December 24^th, exactly Christmas Eve. The streets have been covered by snow, and the good news it wasn’t a storm. Of course the citizens preferred to sit in a warm café with a glass of coffee in their hands than walking at the snowy pavements, freezing and getting pale. That’s the reason why Le Grand Café was so crowded tonight. The waiters had so many to do, cleaning plates and glasses, making coffees and cakes.

Everything was perfect and amazing but one. Chanyeol didn’t show himself at the café. Of course the waiters were confused because someone who has visited their café for more than two weeks without single absent suddenly disappeared in a very important day.

Personally, Baekhyun’s the one who had the lost feeling the most. He was still singing and smiling nicely, but his eyes always looked around for someone he had looking for.

Where was he?

“And now, here’s the requests today,” Baekhyun took the form papers that was given by Jongin. Damn, even by glancing at the guitar reminded him to Chanyeol. “Christmas Eve from… Kyungsoo. Oh my, it seems we’re having a very kind chef!”

Because it’s Christmas Eve, there was a lot of song requests. Baekhyun read them one by one, and when he reached the last paper, he was surprised. “And the last one… All I Want For Christmas requested by Park Chanyeol.”

He sang all of the songs one by one, and the customers seemed to enjoy his voice. Baekhyun was smiling all the day, but something seemed to disappear. He knew it exactly, Park Chanyeol.

It’s time to close the café, but Baekhyun still had one song to sing at the song list. Even all of the customers have gone, he decided to keep singing it, and the title made him quiet for a while. Baekhyun spoke in front of his microphone. “Here’s a song requested by Park Chanyeol… All I Want For Christmas. Chanyeol, I don’t see you at all today, and I feel something… missing. I don’t know when did you write this request, but as a professional singer I’ll keep singing on it.”

There was no more guitar strum because all of the waiters have gone, and Baekhyun was left with the main key. He sang the intro plainly. He didn’t know why, this song reminds him to Park Chanyeol so much. The one who introduced him to this song, the one who used to be a stranger before, but suddenly came into his life and arranging things he will never know. “I don’t want a lot for Christmas…”

Suddenly, the main door opened. The cold wind blew from outside, and Baekhyun who was looking down stared at the door. “Sorry, sir, we’re clos- CHANYEOL!”

Chanyeol was standing right there, his body was fully covered by jacket with snowdrops and frozen waters around it. Baekhyun was staring at him in disbelief and he’s smiling widely. Chanyeol smiled at him, and he said, “Continue singing. I requested that song.”

“There is just one thing I need…” when Baekhyun sang that line, Chanyeol approached him and stood in front of the mini stage. Baekhyun opened his mouth and he badly wanted to smile, but he still wanted to sing.

“Don’t care about the presents underneath the christmas tree…”

Chanyeol took a rose he hid behind his body, and Baekhyun gasped immediately. “Chanyeol!” But Chanyeol was just smiling, he walked to the mini stage, sat at the other chair and strummed the guitar. “Sing, Baekhyun.”

“I just want you for my own…” Baekhyun sang, and his voice combined together with Chanyeol’s and the guitar’s. Baekhyun turned his body so that both of them were singing with their eyes on each other’s.

“More than you could ever known…” Baekhyun smiled wider than before when Chanyeol smiled at him with a big, wide smile. Baekhyun’s eyes started to be a little teary, and Chanyeol stopped his guitar for a while.

“Make my wish come true…” Chanyeol kneeled down right in front of Baekhyun, he took the rose that he hid again and gave it to Baekhyun. Baekhyun took the rose with his hand and his other hand covered his mouth, he was about to cry but Chanyeol straightened his back, he wiped Baekhyun’s tears and smiled widely. “Make my wish come true, Baekhyun-ah,” he whispered.

And right that moment, the café’s clock chimed, and right at 12 o’clock in the night, two voice combined and created a special, lovely Christmas feeling.

“All I want for Christmas is you…”

…

I came unexpectedly twice.

Once, I came unexpectedly to the café.

Twice, I came unexpectedly to his heart.

But I like both.

Really, really love both.

I used to be a stranger before,

But I used to be his after.

All I want for Christmas is him. –Chanyeol

FIN!

Author’s note: Damn I was so happy when I’m writing this! I could feel the romanceeee *freaks out* this is my first-short-one-shot story, before I was just be able to write a 18-page one shot. I wanted to make this as a Taoris fic before but I thought Baekyeol fits this scene better, so… yeah. I used Glee’s version for the main song here, but I wrote Mariah Carey up there because she’s the real singer. And yeah that song’s amazing and highly recommended! After all, I just wanted to say thanks for everyone, and Merry Christmas! –asdfghjm15
