[TOMORROW]

Y/N POV

Now I am buying food for New Year. I bought glutinous rice, fishes, chocolates, and round fruits like apple, oranges, mini-pineapple and grapes.

You might think that it's so many for a girl like me, well I'm offended. But this can actually be my food for a week. I will make biko, that's why I bought glutinous rice. And I will grind some for tteokbokki. I will also make bilo-bilo from the rice.

For the fishes, I fried some and grilled some.

As for the fruits, it's a tradition to prepare sphere-shaped or circle-shaped food for good luck. And also the Prosperity Bowl where you'll put uncooked rice in a bowl, then put some paper bills that is rolled in it.

I cooked all of the food I bought, I arranged the fruits in place, and sat on the couch tiredly.

I can't wait for New Year! I'll be fifteen!!

Taylor Swift said she had regrets when she was fifteen, but for me, I don't think I'll have regrets. I mean, what could happen?

While thinking about that, someone knocked on my door. At 8pm. I opened the door and saw Jin oppa. He was holding a box which contains a cake?

He was looking sad? What happened? God it's New Year! He doesn't want to be sad for the rest of the year, does he? It's a superstition, for Taylor's sake!

“Hey, why do you look sad?” I asked but he didn't answer. Instead, he kept lowering his head down. “Come in, oppa.” I said and he came in.

“Take a seat.” I said and he put the cake at the table and sat on the couch. I sat next to him and asked him “Can I ask what happened?” I made sure he wasn't uncomfortable.

“I-I just had a fight with my family. They thought I stole money from them because they saw the Super Mario you gave me, but it turns out, they just misplaced it. It's in the freaking car. The backseat of the car. They almost threw the Super Mario that's why I'm so angry at them. I just want to be happy on New Year, that's why I came here. To be with you.” he said and turned to me with bloodshot eyes. He's crying, people!

“I guess... I'll say sorry for the Suoer Mario. I'll just take it back.” I said waiting for him to laugh but instead, a tear escaped his eye. God, why the hell did I say that?

“Ohhhh oppa, I'm just joking! Of course it's yours now. Just, don't be sad on New Year's Day.”

Or else, Taylor Swift will sing 'I want your midnights'.

“It's not about it, jagi. It's about you. Thank you for being there when I need you. Now I feel better. I'll be happy now. I brought my Super Mario, though. I don't want them to burn it.” he said and we both laughed softly.

“You're always welcome, oppa. Thank you for the compliment, though? I don't think you've ever complimented me.” I said and smiled at him which he smiled back.

“I'm sleepy. But I need to stay awake until 12 for New Year.” I said and yawned. I literally cooked since morning. I even almost burned the fish when grilling 'cause I was busy.... Uhhh... Listening to Tay- you know what? Nevermind that.

“It's only 8, you can still sleep.” he said and stood up and went to the kitchen. “Ohhh you're right! Wait, I'll just cover the food.” I said and followed him.

I saw him covering the foods so I immediately helped him. “Ohh by the way, thanks for the cake! And- WOAHHH IT'S PURPLE!!” I said when I opened the box.

“I know it's your favorite color. That's why I picked that.” he said and smiled at me. Only if you know why I love purple.

“Let me just put it in the fridge.” I said and went to the fridge.

After cleaning everything we sat on the couch leaning. “Let's sleep now. I'm so sleepy.” I said and put my head on Jin oppa's shoulder and wrapped my arms around his arms. “Yahh let me go!” he said but I shouted “No!” and closed my eyes.

Author's POV

Jin just smiled and patted her head. “Sleep well jagi, you must be tired.” he said and gently kissed her forehead.

Meanwhile Y/n doesn't know a thing since she fell asleep the second she closed her eyes. Yes, she's soooo tired.

Jin also fell asleep while patting Y/n's head to make her sleep.
