Y/N POV

When I woke up, it was already 11:30 and there are people outside celebrating. I saw Jin oppa fast asleep with me so I moved him gently and went to the kitchen to arrange the foods again.

I put the cake out and placed it on the table. I uncovered everything. I looked at the time. 11:45pm. I should wake Jin oppa now.

I went to him and pat him gently “Jin oppa, there's only minutes left before New Year. Wake up now.” He didn't budge.

“Oppa. You need to be awake for New Year. You know it's a superstition. You can sleep afterwards.” he still didn't wake up. But I saw his face. He was smiling? What the f-

“YAHH KIM SEOKJIN, IF YOU DON'T WANT TO WAKE UP THEN GO SLEEP ELSEWHERE AND GET OUT OF MY HOUSE! I DON'T WANT TO GET BAD LUCK!!” I rapped and he immediately got up.

“I'm awake, I'm awake!” he said and laughed loudly. “Omoo Ms. Fearless is angry now. Please don't be angry, hmm...” he said and pinched my cheeks.

“It's 11:50 now. Let's go outside.” I said so we went outside.

There's so many fireworks now. Fireworks here and there, they're so loud. I'm kinda sensitive to loud sounds since I have trauma so I flinch everytime. But I love fireworks, though.

Suddenly, someone held my hand caressing it gently. “Hey, you keep flinching. Are you alright?” Jin oppa asked while looking at me worried.

“I'm fine, Jin oppa. It's just that the fireworks are so loud. But I'm fine. Ohhh, look! It's 11:59! Let me see the countdown on the TV....” I said and went inside to check the TV. Jin oppa looks confused but... Whatever!

“60, 59, 58, 57,....” the numbers are decreasing as I get more and more excited. I smiled as I watched the countdown. I'll be fifteen in no time! I'm so excited at becoming fifteen.

Not because of getting your first kiss, I mean, gross! It's actually because I don't even know if I'm gonna be happy when I turn 15 in the present... because of my dad.

I just want to be happy and doesn't feel like living with a toxic family. I just felt like not coming back. I'm happy here. My mom visits me everytime she had the time, and I don't have a dad.

I know it's hard for her, that's why I keep my grades high. I'm not even pressured about that. Unlike in the present... I'm so pressured.

I even think of suicide but I remembered how Namjoon said to love yourself. That became my inspiration. My motivation to be happy, and to smile again.

I was thinking about that when the shouts became more intense and louder. I looked at the TV and saw the numbers. “10, 9, 8, 7,.....” I got excited and hit Jin oppa. “Oppa, this is it! Let's go!” I said and pulled him outside.

I saw the fireworks getting bigger qnd prettier. Happy 2009!! I smiled looking at the fireworks. They're so pretty!

HAPPY NEW YEAR!!

We've been outside for a while greeting the neighbors and went inside when the fireworks stopped.

We were eating the foods when Jin oppa said “Aigooo you're fifteen now. Aish I used to remember when you were young, I used to feed you. I was seven back then, and you were four. Time sure flies so fast.”

“Yes, time flies so fast. Look at you, you're now eighteen. You're an old man, now.” I said to mock him. “Aish don't make me hit you on New Years Day.” he said and continue eating.

Okay... I know I told you all that my food will last up to a week. But because Jin oppa and I are so hungry, we emptied everything. Every. Single. Plate. Even the cake was now gone.

And now, food coma is rushing in our body. “I'm so sleepy now. Let me wash all of this.” I stood up and washed all the plates. Jin oppa helped me and threw the trash outside.

After that, I took a bath and brushed my teeth. Jin oppa also did the same as he brought some things.

When I was preparing the pillows, he saw that I was putting a mini-mattress on the floor and arranging some pillows for the couch. “Yahh, what are doing? Are you gonna sleep there?” he asked and I nodded.

“Yes, I don't want to be alone in my bedroom.” I continue arranging the pillows. “Then you sleep at the couch, I'll be right here on the mattress.” “Are you sure...?” I asked making sure he won't wake up in the middle of the night.

“Yes! I just need many pillows to fall asleep.” he said and picked at least five pillows. “Yeah, we're actually the same.” I giggled and and sat on the couch. “I'm getting sleepy now,we should sleep.” I said so Jin oppa went to turn off the lights.

“Let's sleep now. Goodnight Y/niee.”
“Goodnight Seokjinniee.”

And went to dream land.
