It is a fake snow rain, but will you dance with me?
One day before christmas, Super Junior and SNSD were part of the performances in Music Core Christmas Special. This would be the first day after MAMA for Kyuhyun to see Seohyun again. They had no chance to discuss what had happened between them after the party. Therefore, at that day, he was excited and nervous at the same time.
Who would not? He had kissed her. That's true, it was only on the forehead, on her so lovely forehead. But still, he was practically hit and run after the kiss. He did not know what had struck him that night that he could be that bold. Maybe because they spent the night obviously flirting to each other. Maybe after lots of stolen glance and many high-ten acts, he finally lost his brain.
But the fact was, he kissed her in front of her hotel door, took enough time to memorise her pink cheeks and shining eyes, before leaping abruptly without saying any word. That was because he was so sure that one second more in front of her, she would see his own cheeks turn red. Yes, that was how much her eyes influenced him. He was also worried, that she would be mad at him. Luckily, he still heard Tiffany's voice, 'Hyun-ah, what was happened to you?". And he knew then that she was affected too.
He was still smiled like an idiot, when Siwon smacked his head, 'Stop daydreaming Kyuhyunnie! The girls are here!'. He lifted his eyes, and instantly, as always, his gaze met hers. Truly, this had been a mystery for him, how their eyes could always found each other even in the most chaotic scenes. 'Kyuhyun-sshi, you're drooling now.' Yesung elbowed him out of his trance situation. 'Hyuuuunnggg', he pouted while shifted his face because he knew how red was his cheeks would be. Well, that's one of the disadvantages of being the youngest. His hyungs liked to join forces when it was time to tease or torture him. Kyuhyun might have the most poker face in the group,but his hyungs knew that in the matters of Seohyun, his feeling would be as clear as a clearfolder.
A soft and familiar touch brought him back to reality. Although he had wished it, but he still caught by surprise the moment she approached him. 'Oppa, how are you?' 'Never better, How was your flight?' 'Mostly fine. But I am glad it was short'. 'Most?' She shrugged, 'the usual, a little turbulence here and there'. 'Oh', Unconciously he took her hand and caressed the back of her hand with his thumb. 'Oppa, people are watching', she whispered softly while slipping her hand of his grabs. 'Uh, Sorry Hyun-ah, I just feel relief to know you, uh, all of you are fine.' He stumbled with his words, not knowing why suddenly he felt like he was hit by something when he heard her flight was not very smooth. 'You are very kind Oppa, thanks!" She beamed and he was back to his trance. Yeah, definitely he would still vote her eyes as the most amazing thing in this world.
However, they did not have much time to interact during the shoots. Yes, there were glances here and there, when he catched her secretly look at him or when he tried his best to be not so obvious when he scanned her face. But most of the time, he felt giddy. Except when his hyungs and her unnies were looking at them like they were the most interesting subjects in the universe. Sadly, he had not mastered Donghae's art of stolen glances.
He knew that anyone with a good dose of confidence would do the next move. But as always, when it came to Seohyun, his confidence level was like a rollercoaster. He did approach her several times, but each time she turned her pretty head at him, he lost his voice. He felt a pity for himself. All that he had to do was only asked her if she want to skip the after show party and instead went with him to the nearest park to watch the stars. That simple. And, uh, asked her if she would like to be his girl.
The moment he finally able to put himself together, fate was challenge him on a little game. He lost her. Literally. She was nowhere at the set and no one knew where she headed to. He felt a hole in his heart. This is Christmas Eve, right? She should not leave without saying anything. They promised to spend some times together in Christmas Eve. After all, they had invented the tradition. Unless, she found something more interesting or more important. What if......?
He shook his head. So what if she found someone else more important or interesting than me? I have not making any move for three years. Siwon-Hyung was right, I am too slow. He was still playing many scenario in his head on why she was missing, when his phone vibrated. He took it out from his pocket and read the last message. 'Kyuhyunnie, Fany asked me to drop her to the next grocery store before I fetch you and Donghae-hyung. Could you find Hyung first on the set in the fifth blocks? You know him, he could be lost. Thanks maknae! #AMAZING SIWON#' . Kyuhyun chuckled, amused by his hyungs. I wonder sometimes why am I the maknae...
When he approached the set to find Donghae, Kyuhyun had a very funny feeling. It reminded him of one of the princess fairy tale he saw with Ara once when he was five. But he could not remember which tale. It is the mermaid? Or the sleeping one? But why there is a boat in the snow lake? Why was Donghae even here? This set fit Yoona more than Hyung. But if Yoona was with him, why he need to fetch him? He started to have a hunch that something fishy was happening. Like his hyungs were planning something.
And then he saw her. Right in the middle of the strange set, showered by the fake snow rain, the girl who stole his heart. Kyuhyun felt this sight was odd, but he could not figure out what. All of his sense was focused to Seohyun, who he thought looked even more beautiful than a fairy tale princess. And when she finally saw him, he was still standing at the same spot.
'Oppa, there you are! I am beginning to worry that you might get ill. It took too long for you to get here.', she run to him with a very wide smile. But when she saw that he was in a kind of trance, she stopped and took a significant gap between them. 'Oppa, are you ok?' Her soft voice woke Kyuhyun up. As always. He looked at the set and then back to her. Snow rain. Is somebody playing his Santa now?
'Oppa?' Who cares? I have her right where I want. Go and tell her Kyu! 'Seohyun-ah, I am fine. Why are you here?" She raised her eyebrows, 'Oppa, you texted me! duh!' I did? Uh Uh, apparently "I" did. 'I am sorry. I lost some of my brain today.' 'Why?' he raised his eyebrows back at her while smiling his trademark smirk, 'You had happened.' 'Me?...Oh.' Kyuhyun watched with interest when Seohyun struggled to digest his cryptic message.
It took sometimes, but then realization downed in her eyes. He offered his hand then, 'Seo Joohyun, you know that if this snow rain is real, I would be sick. But since this is a fake snow rain, will you dance with me?' She laughed. 'Oppa, you are weird! There is no music!' 'I'll sing.' 'Yeah' 'I heard somebody said she thought I have the most beautiful voice.' He winked. She blushed, 'Which bird told you that?' 'It doesn't matters.' He breathing hard. She still has not reached out to my hand. Why she hasn't? 'What matters is that we can dance in the snow rain now. So?'
After what seemed like hours, Seohyun finally took his hand and nodded. 'Only if you promised not singing any song from out duets.' He laughed 'Why not? Those are good songs.' 'Yeah, but we sang them too much. It gets boring' She smiled. 'Then we should choose another song for our duet.' 'Oh, really? Are we having more duet in the future?' He winked. 'We will. I will make sure of it.' She beamed. 'Ok. But only if I can choose the song this time.' He laughed again. 'Only if I choose the song I will sing on this dance.' She laughed too. 'Ok. It is a deal.'
He took her into the middle of the set again, right under the fake snow rain. He put one hand in her waist while the other was in her back. Boldly he pulled her closer to his chest. He felt she flinched and for seconds he thought he was too much. But then she seemed to be relaxed so he tighten his hug. After all, Santa had granted him the set, so it was up to him to make the right scene. 'Hyunnie,' he spoke softly in her ear,' do you trust me?' He waited. After another silence, she finally answered, 'I do, Oppa. Always." So he tighten his hold on her and started to sing.
Isn't she lovely, Isn't she wonderful, Isn't she precious, We have been heaven blessed, I can't believe what God has done. Making one as lovely as she, But isn't she lovely made from love
He was still humming the bridge of the song, when he heard her mumbled to his chest, 'Oppa, you changed the lyrics.' He smiled and stopped singing. 'Really?' She raised her head. 'Yes, I know that song, Oppa.' He looked directly to her eyes, and saw a hint of tears yet they were sparkling like the stars. 'I did not changed it. I cut and mixed it so it would be meaningful.' She raised her eyebrows, 'What do you mean?'. He took a deep breath. 'Exactly what it means, that you are so lovely.' he paused, and then took another long and deep breath. There is it. It is now or never. Tell her, Kyu. 'And that I Love You.'
She blinked. He watched her close her eyes, and his rollercoaster of confidence came back. What if she does not feel the same? Then after seconds which felt like hours and few moments that he felt like he got a heart attack, Seohyun opened her eyes and looked directly to his eyes, 'Oppa' 'Seohyun-ah, I...' Her finger raised to his lips to shut him from saying anything else, 'I do too' 'What?' 'Love you?' He let out a relief laughed and hugged her even tighter. Just because he could now.
She giggled. 'Why are you giggling?' He suddenly felt annoyed. He was excited and she was... giggled? 'I am just thinking. It felt like Tiffany-Unnie and Yoona-Unnie were helping you.' Kyuhyun raised his eyebrow, 'Why?' She kept giggling, 'This set looks like a little mermaid set! Tiffany-Unnie's most favorite cartoon. And the dancing part! Yoona-Unnie's obsession is to dance in the lake.' Could it be? No, It couldn't. But if it was..... Kyuhyun chuckled I do not know that my hyungs love me that much. 'Oppa?' He smiled. 'May be they did' 'May be?' "It doesn't really matter, right?' "No, It doesn't'.
He lifted her chin and caressed her cheeks and got fascinated with the way they turned to pink. 'Saranghae Seohyunnie.' "Nado Saranghae, Oppa.' He tilted his head and slowly kissed her lips. Their first of their many that night.
THE END
*********
Or it is?
Because when the two lovebirds confessed to each other, actually there were four other people in the set. But they were hiding behind that strange boat and since they were not supposed to be there, they were sit closely to each other while trying hard to catch the words on the main scene. However, their maknaes talked too soft, so at one time, one impatient head was raised, until one hand smacked him from behind. 'Hyuuuuunnngggg, that's hurt!' 'Won-ah! They could see us!'. Another long silence, until another one become curious on what happened and raised her head, knowing for sure that one hand would not dare to smack her head. 'Yoon-ah, pull yourself down!' She stubbornly raised her head and saw..... nothing. Apparently the lovebirds had decided to fly somewhere. 'I think they had gone.'
Four heads popped up from behind the boat. One was really relieved, "Good, my neck is hurt." His girlfriend smacked him from behind. 'Fany-ah, why did you do that?' 'Donghae-Oppa did that too before.' 'But he is the hyung!' Tiffany glared to Siwon, 'Whatever. I think Kyuhyun-Oppa is romantic.' Now Siwon, who was always very competitive, on anything, got annoyed of Kyuhyun being praised by his girlfriend. 'What? We planned this!' "Yeah, but he played it perfectly' "I can do better.' Tiffany raised her eyebrows, 'Prove it', and then she walked away.
Siwon who now really want to prove his romantic side, was just planning to run and catch his runaway girlfriend, when his and Donghae's mobile were vibrated. It was a text from the evil maknae, 'Hyung, we are not going to the after show party. I'll call Manager-Hyung to get us a car. Have fun but not too much kekekekeke!' Donghae and Siwon looked at each other, then another text came, 'And oh, Hyung, thanks for being my Santa! Will not reject it if you want to do it again next year :)'
Donghae shook his head, 'That kid! Smart ass.' Siwon laughed, 'We'll collect our karma later from him, Hyung. Now I have other mission to do.' Without even waited for Donghae's answer, Siwon had running to catch Tiffany. Donghae watched his dongsaeng with amusement. He knew that Tiffany is a smart girl who know how to use her boyfriend's weakness. Just like his own girlfriend. And talking of the girlfriend, why she was quiet all this time? That was really not her.
He glanced to his right where she was, but he could not find her. 'Yoon? Where are you?' 'Here Oppa!' He looked to where his girlfriend was, in the middle of the set actually. 'Yoona, why are you there? Let's go!'. She stayed there. Uh,uh, he thought, trouble came his way too. 'Oppa, I want to have a dance too.' "Uh, eh, here?' She nodded, 'Yes, here.' 'But the studio will be close soon!' Donghae, who was not really like to be seen so affectionate in public, tried to find reason to get Yoona out of there. 'But I was the one who get this set! I know the set director. He would be okay.' 'Yoona?' 'Oppaaa!!' And Donghae knew, it was a battle that he would lost.
(now it is the real) THE END.
