// 4 days before Christmas //

"Yah! Kim Mingyu-ssi! Wake up, someone is here for you," a rough voice boomed throughout the room. A black figure appeared in front of the door, bright light glowing behind it. I slowly stood but fell back down again due to the pain that was coming from my stomach. I crawled my way out.. of my room. 

My new roommate, Minghao, pulled my body up so I was able to stand up properly. He was a tourist in Korea and happened to be searching for a cheap place to live for a short period of time. He came from China, and is great at dancing, well b-boying more specifically. 

He handed me the phone, it was my boss from my new part-time job at "Cut-MyHair", a new hair salon that opened up in the neighborhood. 

"Hello, Boss?"

"Yes, Kim Mingyu-ssi! I need a favor from you, is that okay?"

"Sure, Boss."

"I know you're supposed to start work next week but, it seems like one of my workers couldn't make it today and there's quite a lot of customers, can you come in instead?"

"Sure, Boss! I'll come in 15 minutes~"

"Thanks, Mingyu! See you later, goodbye."

"Goodbye, Boss~"

I hanged up and got dressed in some jeans and a plaid shirt. "Who was that?" Minghao asked as I sat down to tie my shoes. "It was my boss, he wants me to come in for a worker as his," I said as I took a cigarette and a lighter from the kitchen drawer. Minghao sighed, it's been a week since he moved in and he doesn't mind that I smoke but, it gets to him sometimes. "You know, you should really try to stop smoking, it's not good for you." I ignored him and walked out to go to work.

As I walk to the salon, with the cigarette between my lips, I thought about someone. Jeon Wonwoo, to be specific. I wonder what he was up to, whether he was okay, how would he react if he knew all of this happened. I wonder if he would fly over to Korea if I told him I quit Youtube and started smoking, although I don't believe in true love and happy endings sometimes I would wish that it would actually happen.

"I'm here, Boss-nim!", I announced as I walked into the hair salon. "Oh, you're here? Quickly get changed and you can take on the customers that are waiting~" I did as I was told and started styling my first customer. 

It was a middle-school student, she needed to cut her hair since she was told off by the teacher that her hair was against the rules, well that was what she told me. I cut her hair into a bob and added some bangs, since she said she had always wanted one. "Oppa, so how do I look?" she asked after I finished cutting her hair. "You look pretty, very pretty~" I complimented her, it made her smile. 

I took on some other customers until my boss informed me that I could go off for a while. I stepped out of the hair salon to take a breather from all of the aroma in the salon that was filled with hairsprays, shampoo and hair. I took out another cigarette and put it between my lips, lighting it up. I walked on the pavement, heading no where in mind when I saw a small cupcake shop, the cigarette falling from my lips.

I walked to the cupcake shop, "CuteCakey", and entered the shop. The walls were baby blue with stripes of baby pink, pictures and paintings decorated on the walls. The tables and chairs were white with lace table runners. The counter was decorated with pictures, flowers and a couple of cupcake platforms. There was cute, little cupcakes decorated on the platforms. 

"Welcome to CuteCakey, what can we do for you?" a little old lady asked. "Oh, I'm looking to buy cupcakes, can you recommend me the best ones?" I smiled at the old lady. "Sure, sweetie!" she took out 3 cupcakes. "This one with the chocolate frosting is a top-seller, it's called the 'Choco-Supreme', it is a moist-chocolate cupcake with fluffy, bitter-sweet mocha frosting. The one with the baby blue is called 'A Cloudy Day', it is a cream-filled vanilla cupcake with baby blue frosting and little white designs as lace. The last one is called 'Love Letter', it is a red velvet cupcake with fluffy, white frosting with a small love letter made out of fondant on the top." the little old lady explained. "I'll take them~" I paid for the cupcakes and returned back to the salon. I continued my shift until the day ended.

"I'm home~ Minghao, where are you? I bought cupcakes." I heard a thud and a wild Minghao came running in his Pikachu onesie. "I want the chocolate one!" he came over to look at the cupcakes. I gave him the 'Choco-Supreme' cupcake and I took the 'A Cloudy Day' cupcake. I almost bit into the cupcake when I heard my phone beeped. I put down the cupcake into the box. "Who's cupcake is that? With the hearts?" Minghao asked as I switched on my phone. "It's for W-"

JW: Mingyu-ah, wait for me at the airport in an hour or so, it's an emergency.

I shoved my phone into my pocket, took out my car keys and grabbed the cupcake box. "Yah! Where are you going?" Minghao asked through a mouthful of chocolate cupcake as I slammed the door behind me. My hands were shaking as I went into my car, I took a deep breath and started driving towards the airport. 

Questions were running through my mind, but I blocked them all out. There was only one thought on my mind as I sped through a red light , that is to see Jeon Wonwoo, no matter what.
