Seonghwa said "Hi I am Seonghwa. Nice to meet you. Merry Christmas." Hongjoong just stared at him and replied with a 'Hum' and 'same to you'.
Seonghwa felt it bit upsetting. He said "What is your name?" Hongjoong said "I don't like to tell my name to strangers."
Seonghwa pouted and said "But I thought we became friends. Umm how about I call you a angry squirrel?" Hongjoong just stared at him.
Seonghwa said "Ok then I'll call you that. What are you doing here alone?" Hongjoong turned his head to gaze at the sky once again and spoke with emotionless voice "I don't have anyone. My parents died and everyone hates me. I got no friends."
Seonghwa said "But Angry squirrel you got me. I can accompany you tonight. You are not alone. I will be with you."
Seonghwa's words just thaw his cold heart. He felt a bit happy. He looked at Seonghwa who had an angelic smile on his face. He asked "So what a guy like you is doing here alone? You look like you have many friends."
Seonghwa's smile dropped that Hongjoong didn't like it, he interally cursed at himself for that.
Seonghwa replied "Umm no. I was at a party that my only friend Wooyoung forced me to come. But in that party he left me alone and went with his boyfriend. I was sad but I understand he loves his boyfriend really much. So I walked out rather than hearing all those sarcastic opinions of my peers on me."
Hongjoong raised his eyebrows and said "What opinions?"
Seonghwa replied "About my clothes and about how feminine I look. I am just tired of all those things. Some times I feel like burning all the girly clothes and shut all of their awful mouths but I just don't wanna change myself just to impress others. I wear these kinda clothes because it makes me happy and that's what matters the most."
Hongjoong smiled under the mask thinking not only this person infront him was beautiful, he was also smart. He said "You are beautiful. Don't think of ever changing your style just because of this ugly society. I think your style is nice and it suits you very much."
Hongjoong thought that this was the first time he ever spoke to anyone this much. Seonghwa felt so much comfort from this stranger. He felt at ease at his heart warming words.
Seonghwa said "Thank you. You are such a sweet talking and kind person. But now I have to go. It's late already my mom will kill me. Pray that I should be alive." Hongjoong just chuckled a bit and said "Hope your mom will not kill you and you'd be fit and fine as hell."
Seonghwa smiled and hugged him out of the blue and said "Thank you. It was nice talking to you. You are not alone ok. You have me as your friend. I hope we meet again. And Merry Christmas. Bye Angry squirrel" and started walking towards his house.
Hongjoong was frozen when Seonghwa hugged him abruptly. He felt Seonghwa's warmth in this cold night. But the warmth was for a short moment but he could never forget the feeling. He wanted this feeling of warmthness to last it forever. There were thoughts running in his mind about the person or the angel he just met Seonghwa. These thoughts weren't healthy at all. He felt the need to keep him beside him always. Before he had no meaning in his life but now he had a love or an obsession or both towards Seonghwa. He looked at the fading figure and smirked "We will definitely meet again Kitten. Next time I will make sure to never let go, my Angel."
Seonghwa went happily to his home. He didn't knew that he ignited the fire. He didn't knew that it would completely burn him. His life was going to take a turn, for the worst or for the best.
Seonghwa reached his house and slowly opened it thinking his parents might have fallen asleep. He just had to sneak to his room. As he opened it he flinched when he saw a figure standing infront of him. The person said "Is this the time to come home?"
Seonghwa awkwardly chuckled and said "Yeah I guess mother. Forgive me please. I love you" and showed his puppy eyes to his angry mother. She glared at him for a sec and let out a big sigh no one could resist his puppy eyes. She said "Hmm ok. I forgive you. Now go and get some sleep."
Seonghwa smiled and hugged his mother saying "Thank you" and went to his room.
