Their first New years eve dawned over the couple, who celebrated it no different than when they were still single. They were tied up with their jobs.

Hyejin had busied up in the ER along with other doctors, awaiting possible patients with the mayhem brought upon by the changing of the year while Seokjin busied up for the year end shows with his band members, apart from Yoongi, who injured himself.

Well, that was the plan, but Director Yoo let her off early. He must have liked the girl a great deal that he gave her this special treatment. Hyejin only thanked him profusely, and left the hospital before he could change his mind or even ask her out on a dinner date.

She bought chicken and drinks, and headed straight to their dorms, where Yoongi was watching the show on the tv alone.

"Dayoung couldn't make it?" Yoongi shook his head and took the food from Hyejin, and sat together on the floor, watching Luvie as rookies perform on their first new year's event with their new single.

Hyejin took a can of rootbeer and drank up while Yoongi held on to his beer can and chicken. "How come you're here? Didn't you say you were working until 2016 ends?"

"Are you trying to kick me out, huh?" Hyejin slaps his arm instead, since his ear was injured and she couldn't pinch it like she used to. "I bought you food!"

"I surrender," Yoongi raised his arms and laughed, nudging her back. Their focus was diverted when BTS started performing.

"He looks cold, Yoongs." She said off handedly.

"Jin hyung?" She nodded at Yoongi, not looking away from the screen. "He must be. He forgot to bring an extra coat earlier."

"Fool." She comments, standing up and heading towards Jin's room. "I'll be leaving in five minutes.."

Hyejin arrived in the venue just as the countdown starts, and she called him while collecting her stuff.

"Hello?"

"I'm outside, back gate. Where are you?"

"Wait! Wait right there..."

Seokjin slips out the crowd of celebrities and staff, running as the countdown neared zero. Hyejin silently counts, holding the coat in her hands.

"Three..."

Jin saw her and rushed to her side.

"Two."

Hye sees him and opens her arms wide for him, embracing him.

"One."

The first fireworks lit up the sky as Seokjin pressed his lips onto hers softly, pulling back after a few seconds.

"Happy new year." Hyejin softly said, wrapping the coat over his shoulders while standing on the tip of her toes. "Stay warm, please."

Seokjin chuckled, hugging her once again. "You too... Happy new year."

Seokjin still slept soundly as the first snow fell, and Hyejin admitted to herself that she wanted to do the same. He was oblivious to what was happening around him, and she wanted to feel that as well.

Hyejin dressed more warmly today when she worked at the ER, revisiting Seokjin's case once again just as her shift ends. She checked his vitals once again, and reviewed the CT scans and X-ray films they took from him. It was TBI, traumatic brain injury. It caused him to have seizures and it would most likely affect his activities when he wakes up, but they were already close to healing it, andit made her over the moon.

He had a few mishaps before, and they obviously shook up Hyejin, so it was a good change that he was finally doing better.

Seokjin had a lot of visitors as well today, since it was his birthday. Many fans had gathered outside, singing songs and hosted a little party while Hyejin watched from the window, a bit teary eyed from happiness.

Hyejin walked up to the ICU with a warmer blanket and wrapped it on Seokjin as his hands were a bit cold. Hyejin sang him a happy birthday and kissed his forehead, proceeding to tell him what his fans had done for him.

"Earlier, some ARMYs were at the hospital entrance, singing you Happy Birthday..." Hyejin told him. "They got you this really nice cake and sent up a fruit basket and get well soon balloons. I kept it all in my office. I'll show them to you when you wake up, so hurry up healing okay? Armys and I have been waiting for over a month now for worldwide handsome's return."

Seokjin's hand flinched ever so slightly on her grip, halting Hyejin's actions.

"Do that again. " Hyejin excitedly said, beginning to massage the muscle between his thumb and forefinger for some response. She anxiously waited, pinching harder. "Come on, don't you just tease me like that, love."

Hyejin felt a surge of happiness when Seokjin weakly wrapped his hand around hers. She racked her brain for any possibility or reason why he was doing this.

Could it be?

Hyejin choked into sobs, when she looked over to his face once again.

"Seokjin..."
