Second Chances

The long awaited kiss?

Wooyoung opened his eyes to find himself back in the wedding reception room yet again. He glanced over to the slides, where the picture of their prom night was still showing. Everyone in the picture had bright faces and, as he had done just a few moments ago, Wooyoung's arm was placed around Taeyeon's shoulder while she posed with a 'V' sign, smiling even more widely than in the picture before.

'Aish... It still didn't work. I'm still here." Wooyoung said in disappointment.

He then turned to look at the screen, and saw that the next picture on the slides was being shown. The next picture depicted Wooyoung, Taeyeon, Leeteuk, Junho, Yoona and Taecyeon (left to right) in his house, and they were sitting around a table with a hot pot on top. Taeyeon was looking down with her right hand supporting her chin and looking visibly annoyed.

Wooyoung's point of view:

I remember this... It was during our first year in university. I tried to kiss Taeyeon as a joke.

-Flashback begins-

Taeyeon, Leeteuk, Junho, Yoona, Taecyeon and I were as in the picture, eating a meal together and watching football at my house.

"Taengoo, when was your first kiss?" Yoona asked curiously. "I haven't heard of it from you, right?"

"Eh? Well..."

"If you haven't had it yet, let me do the honours!" I had said jokingly, leaning closer to Taeyeon and puckering my lips. "Chu~"

"Yah, stop it!" Following that, she slapped me hard on my cheek, leaving a bright red hand mark on my left cheek.

-Flashback ends-

Back then, I only saw Taeyeon as a childhood friend. Or rather, maybe I was scared of seeing her as a girl. I went too far on my jokes and never took the relationship between me and her seriously, making her very angry. I was really the worst... ever. After doing something like that, it's no wonder that she's not with me anymore.

Suddenly, it became dark and my thoughts were interrupted. Then the bright light that has become familiar to me shone and dramatic music started playing once again.

After the bright light started to become dimmer, I looked around and spotted Minjun hyung at the couch near the window, busy munching on a piece of fried chicken he had gotten from one of the tables. I went forward and greeted him with a 90 degrees bow.

"Minjun hyung, can I ask you something? Is it really hard to change it? It's like nothing I do has an effect on the situation now. I didn't even manage to kiss her. I more or less wasted this time travel," I asked him, feeling very disappointed.

"Hmm. You helped Jong Kook get back his lover and let them live together in happiness. Do you really think that it was a waste?"

"Ah really? So they're married now?"

"Yep. They even have a son called Dong Hoon now. Eun Hye's parents were eventually persuaded because of Jong Kook's sincerity and determination. You should also have that determination to be able to end up like them."

I hung my head down and thought about it. Yeah Minjun hyung's right, since I was the one who told him to fight for Ms Yoon, I should be determined enough to fight for Taeyeon too. Minjun hyung then walked towards me and stood beside me.

"To be honest, Taeyeon's always thought of you as childish and that you won't understand her feelings. But when you confronted Jong Kook, you let her see the mature side of you that she can depend on. So it's not a waste of time at all."

"Maybe if you still think that that was a waste of time, you should just stop going back in time and graduate from these time slips," Minjun hyung continued, walking away from me and towards the door.

Hearing his words, I was completely shocked and shouted, "NO!" Junsu hyung turned back to look at me. "There're some things that I haven't done yet!"

I reached towards Minjun hyung and stopped him. Junsu hyung gave a smile and said, "Then go on, no one's stopping you." I gave a grateful smile to him and prepared myself.

"HALLELUJAH CHANCE!"

"NOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!"

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

With my eyes still closed, I felt something wet on my lips. Hmm... Oh my gosh, it's someone's lips! Did I succeed? Am I already kissing Taeng?

"Mmmm..." I kissed the lips harder, enjoying the kiss before slowly opening my eyes.

To my utmost horror, the person I saw right in front of me and whose lips were on mine was definitely not my Taeyeon - it was a person whom I definitely NEVER wanted to kiss in my entire life.

"NOOOOOOOOOOO YOU MUST BE KIDDING ME!" Wiping my lips frantically with the sleeve of my shirt, I pushed the person away quickly and moved a distance away, traumatised by what just happened.

"GOALLLLLLLLL!" Taecyeon screamed in his sleep with his eyes still closed.

"URGH! Of all people, why Taecyeon?!"

"Yah, it's still early in the morning! Stop yelling and get me some food from the kitchen!" I looked over to where the voice came from and saw a man old enough to have white hair sitting at the sofa. Both his shirt and pants were in green in colour and he donned a black cap that I recognised the owner of.

'Hey... Aren't those my clothes and my cap?!'

"I'm sorry... but who are you?" I tried asking politely.

"I'm Yoo Jae Suk, the Nation's MC. My nickname is 메뚜기(mettugi)."

"What?!"

"Just kidding... Yah you punk, do you forget everything after you sleep?
