————

you really liked kim seungmin.

you'd been spending a lot of time with him lately; both of you did your christmas shopping for your families together, he helped you set up your christmas tree, and you made some gingerbread biscuits to share with friends and family together.

considering that, you weren't ready to say you loved him yet. not when your heart was broken so badly only last year. you couldn't give your all to seungmin if he wasn't ready to do the same.

"i don't know yet." you told your friend lia. "he's great and i like him. really, really like him. but i don't know if he feels the same way about me."

"he probably does." lia suggested. "and you know, there's only one way to truly find out."

you sighed, "you're right but—"

"—but you're scared because of what happened last year." she offered you an expectant look, "i understand." she passed you the bowl of popcorn. the two of you were watching a cheesy christmas rom-com, which is what had brought upon the whole seungmin conversation.

"yeah." you frowned, taking a handful of popcorn.

"i'm no cupid or dating expert, but it seems like you really like him and more importantly, he makes you happy. i know that for a fact because i can see it on your face." she put some popcorn in her mouth, "so," she turned to face you now, leaning her arm on the sofa, "i propose that you invite him to be your date at my christmas eve ball, just to see how it goes, and then you can work it out from there."

you pondered the proposal, "you know, that's not a bad idea." you hummed before eating some more popcorn. "i'll call him right now."

lia picked up the remote to pause the movie, a small smile of success crossing her face.

the two of you made excited eye contact as you waited for him to answer the phone.

"y/n?" seungmin said, checking the time on his clock to see that it was nearly midnight. "it's late, is everything okay?"

lia grinned at seungmin's worry. she found it cute, and made her thankful that she had a girlfriend of her own who treated her the same.

your mouth fell ajar as lia giggled and showed you the time on her phone. "seungmin, i'm so sorry, i didn't realise it was so late. i can call you in the morning."

"no, no, it's fine, i'm up watching christmas movies with jisung and felix anyways--against my will, i'll have you know." you could hear jisung and felix laugh at the comment through the phone.

"well in that case," you smiled as lia was egging you on to hurry up and ask him, "i was just calling to ask if you'd like to be my date to lia's ball on christmas eve."

"your date?" you heard giggles from the boys through the phone.

"it's okay if you don't want to—"

"—i'd love to."

"you're sure?"

"i couldn't think of a better way to spend christmas eve. i'll pick you up, okay?" felix and jisung were enthusiastically clapping him on the back and laughing. they were happy for him but weren't used to hearing him sound so romantic.

"sounds great," you were absolutely elated, and it was definitely evident in your voice, "i'll see you then." lia was having a similar reaction to jisung and felix, happily punching your arm in excitement.

seungmin was smiling like a fool by now too, dragging a hand down his face in embarrassment from enduring this interaction in front of his friends, "goodnight, y/n."

"night, seung."

with that, you both hung up the phone feeling delighted.

-------

seungmin arrived at your house perfectly on time to pick you up for lia's christmas eve ball and knocked neatly on your door.

you dashed down the stairs as competently as possible in your high heels and long dress, feeling slightly nervous.

it would be fine, right? you'd hung out plenty of times before, especially more this holiday season. maybe it was because this was a vastly more formal situation than you were used to.

you'd probably need a champagne once you got there.

you pulled the door open slowly to see seungmin standing there looking exceptionally handsome in his suit.

"wow," he breathed as he scanned you from head to toe, "you look gorgeous."

heat seeped into your cheeks, "thanks seung, you look rather handsome yourself."

"should we get going?" seungmin nodded towards the car and you followed him there after locking the door behind you. "you must be freezing cold, i left the car on so i could keep the heating going." he opened the door for you, allowing you to slide into the passenger seat.

"thanks." you smiled shyly.

why were you feeling like this all of a sudden? it had been casual until now.

it wasn't too long of a drive to the ball, and even if it had been, that wouldn't of bothered you. you really enjoyed seungmin's company so much that you could've easily spent the whole night driving around and conversing with him. but alas, you shortly arrived at the venue.

seungmin leapt out the car and hurried around to open your door again before you'd even unbuckled your seatbelt. he also offered his arm for you to hold as you entered the grand building.

it was stunning inside. lia had really outdone herself in planning and organising it. she was also very excited to see you enter arm in arm with seungmin.

"hi, you two! i'm glad you could both make it." she hugged you both warmly.

"we're glad to be here." seungmin replied before turning to you, "can i get you a drink? a champagne?"

you nodded and smiled, "that would be great, thanks."

as seungmin went in search of champagne, lia excitedly hit you.

"oh my gosh," she was grinning, "he so likes you."

"yeah, that's all good and well," you put a hand on your forehead in distress, "but i have a problem."

"what is it?" she cocked her head.

"i love him."

"you love him?" lia repeated, a little too loudly for your liking.

"shh!" you smacked her arm gently. "we just connect so well, i feel it when i'm around him. i want to tell him, but i'm just so worried." you frowned.

"maybe a champagne will help." lia motioned towards seungmin who was returning with a glass of champagne.

you jokingly rolled your eyes at her suggestion but it was probably right.

"here you go." seungmin passed you the glass. "i'd have one myself but i have to make sure you get home safely."

"i mean, i could catch a taxi, it's not very far—if you want to have a drink." you rubbed his arm assuringly.

"no, don't be ridiculous. i enjoyed driving you here and i'm sure i'll enjoy driving you home." he waved it off.

lia soon left the two of you alone to make your way around the ball. you had a nice chat with jisung and felix, seungmin's friends who you hadn't met until now. they were really lovely people and made you adore kim seungmin even more.

it was something about his calm nature that drew you in. his calm and comfortable nature. you found it easy to be around him. you'd never felt that in a relationship before.

after saying hello and talking to all the friends and acquaintances you needed to, he insisted on dancing with you.

"i'm not very good." you mumbled.

"hey," seungmin pulled you closer to him, one hand under your chin, encouraging you to look at him, "don't stress it, just let me lead."

and so you did.

once more, his comforting nature surrounded you like a bubble, making it feel like you were the only two people in the world as you danced. your head rested on his chest as the two of you swayed back and forth.

"hey seung?" you said quietly amongst the busy ball attendees.

he heard you loud and clear. "yeah?"

"i'm gonna go freshen up my makeup, okay?" that was a semi-lie.

"okay, i'll be there when you get back." he pointed to a table nearby.

seungmin hated letting you go from his hold. he liked the way your body felt when it was close to his. he'd longed for that feeling for a while now.

you did need to freshen your makeup a bit, but what you really needed was a moment to prepare yourself to confess to seungmin. you gave yourself a mental pep talk as your hands slightly trembled while trying to powder your face.

they also shook as you typed out a text to seungmin:

getting some air on the balcony upstairs. i'll be down soon!

at least that was true.

seungmin wasted no time in rushing to you. damn this venue for being so big, it took him forever to find the balcony door, but when he did, he gently opened it.

"hey, is everything okay?" seungmin said quietly.

"seung! i'm sorry i didn't mean to worry you. everything is fine."

"you'll get a cold out here like this, come inside, please." he led you back inside, a hand resting comfortably on the small of your back.

"i lied." you blurted as you entered the quiet yet wide hallway. the second floor wasn't the main area for the event so there was no one up there.

"what?" seungmin asked, looking into your eyes.

"everything is not okay. there's something i want to tell you." you sat down dramatically on the nearest seat.

seungmin didn't say anything, he just waited for you to continue. he could see that this wasn't easy for you.

"i really like you, kim seungmin. i sometimes catch myself loving you too. like here, tonight. and that really scares me. because i feel comfortable now, but what if that gets ripped away from me? the last time i gave my all in a relationship, they disappeared, and i was left with nothing but a broken heart." you smiled sadly at him.

seungmin slowly sat down next to you, "you don't have to be scared." he said it quietly, leaning his head in close to yours, placing a hand on your cheek. "i feel myself loving you too, so i'm not going anywhere. i'll be here next year and every year after. i'll happily spend the rest of this lifetime with you and then search for you in every lifetime after." he placed a kiss on your lips. "i've wanted to do that for a long while now."

you felt like a weight had been lifted off your shoulders as you returned the kiss. he was falling in love with you too. rapidly.

"seungmin." you whispered.

"hm?" he was brushing some loose hair behind your ear.

"we should get back to the party.” you said reluctantly.

“no, we shouldn’t.” seungmin suddenly whined. “i’d rather stay here alone with you.” he wrapped an arm around your waist and pulled you close.

“seung.” you laughed. “we can do this later. you can stay at my place tonight, if you want.”

“i do want.” he replied, reluctantly following your actions and standing up. “lia is gonna get all excited when we return, isn’t she?” seungmin said teasingly.

“yeah, probably.” you said with a fond smile. “only because i’ve had feelings for you for ages now.”

“you have?” he raised his eyebrows at you.

you narrowed your eyes at him and folded your arms, “yeah, so what?”

“don’t you think you could’ve told me sooner?” he said bluntly.

“hey, i just told you—”

“—i’m kidding!” he raised his hands in defense. “i’m so happy you told me. i really am.”

“well then, how long have you liked me for?” you interrogated him.

“since the moment i met you.” seungmin proudly confessed with a smile in his eye.
