Notes: It's a bit late for a NYE Countdown because I am working on a particular Paulo ship au so yeah... but this entry is inspired by Parcel (A Holiday Special) entitled Countdown (Special Chapter) that I just published earlier so yeah, let's begin our New Year's Countdown at January 5, 2023 HAHA! Peace...

THEY both wanted to go home but with the heavy rain outside and slippery road, they can't. They both wanted to spend their New Year's Eve with their family and even shouted their countdown with them but for some reason, the universe hinders them to go on a separate ways. They're just in their building's window, silently praying for the rain to stop until it darkened outside.
The rain died down when eight in the evening strikes. It's time to go but for some other weird reason, none of the two, Stell and Sejun move to fix their things and head home. The other trainees started to disappear and they are being told to go home since they're about to close their studio. The two are forced to move and walks downstairs, still not talking to each other.
"Uh, Sej—"
"Stell—"
When they spoke at the same time, they both laugh awkwardly. The cold breeze from the night suddenly greeted them despite of them wearing thick coats. "Sej, gusto mo magkape?"
"Okay. Tara?" Sejun smiles at him and the younger leads the way to the vending machine.
"Gusto mo na bang umuwi after this?" Stell asked.
"Ikaw ba?" Sejun turns to him.
The younger looked down, faintly blushing. "Mamaya na siguro? Hindi ko pa sure."
This made the older to nod. "Mamaya na lang din ako. Samahan muna kita."
While they are consuming their cup of coffee, they talked randomly. They love how they go to topic into topic until they lost track of the time. They finds out that it's already nine but Stell doesn't want to go home yet. He still wanted to be with the pink haired man beside him.
"Nine na pala." Sejun mumbles more to himself. "Stell, uuwi ka na ba? Samahan na kitang maghanap ng taxi."
Though disappointed, Stell still manage to smile. "Gusto mo na bang umuwi?"
Sejun scratch his nape shyly. "Iyon na nga eh. Hindi pa pero nine na. Baka hinahanap ka na."
"Gusto mong manood ng New Year's Countdown sa SM? Lakarin na lang natin. Malapit lang naman iyon dito eh." Stell suggested instead.
Sejun smirks, extending his hands. "Okay. Tara?"
The younger looked at Sejun confusedly but he still took that calloused hands who often plays with his fingers during their break time or he finds massaging his knees and thighs when he's bored that Stell just shrugged it off but deep inside, he is celebrating like an idiot. How he love Sejun's hands on him and all he wanted is to feel that all the time.
"Para saan naman ito?" he asked, looking at their entwined hands.
"Uhhh... para hindi ka mawala?" Sejun responded dumbly.
Stell laughs. "Sej, hindi na ako bata, my gaaad!"
"Eh 'di, okay." The older rolled his eyes and was about to pull his hand away when Stell suddenly held it tightly, squeezing it as if telling him that it's okay.
They both explored the place, have fun and watched some artists perform as they all waited for the perfect time to greet the New Year. Everything and everyone is so alive and festive. They couldn't help but to shout and laugh with everyone. Their spirit is so alive, much to their excitement but Stell is happier that very moment as Sejun's arms drapes around him the whole time.
"Ayan na! Ayan na!" Stell excitedly claps his hands when the countdown begin.
"Psssh! Parang bata." Sejun commented, drawing the younger much closer to him when he felt someone eyeing Stell from behind, again. He glared at the raven haired boy that made him look away and Sejun stayed vigilant. He hates it when someone is staring at Stell lustfully. By that, he really mean it.
"6, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1!" Everyone shouted in glee and then here comes the fireworks display.
"... Stell, pa-kiss?" Sejun shamefully blurted before he could even think straight. His face flushed a deep crimson out of embarrassment that all he wanted is to let the earth to swallow him whole. He's about to turn around and hide, probably to never be seen again when out of the blue, he was pulled back only to meet the serious look from the younger whose hair is as dark as the night.
"S-Stell, sorry—hmp..." His eyes widened when his face was cupped by the younger and he suddenly felt a moist and soft lips in his. He is screaming internally, not minding the people around them. The claps and stifle around them feels like it was intended for the both of them although it isn't.
While Sejun's face is reddish, Stell isn't doing any better. When they pulled away, he smiled sheepishly, thumbing Sejun's warm cheeks and he love how soft and tender Sejun's skin under his touch. "Bakit ako tatanggi sa pangarap ko, hmm?"
Sejun's blush deepens. "Y-You've dreamed of this?"
Stell smirked, leaning in to whisper in Sejun's ear. "Yes... and I also dream to be your man."
Sejun could only blinked dumbly as he was pulled by Stell away from the bunch of people. The younger's giggles and smiles is enough for him to say that this isn't a dream and everything is really happening in front of him; kissing his long-time crush and probably, fulfilling one of his dreams – to be liked back by the person he truly adores for a long time now.
He thought while grinning, what a happy new year to me!
