12 Days Before Christmas

Chapter 2

"On the eleventh day of Christmas, my true love sent to me, eleven pipers piping."

15th December 2014, Monday.

"Edsy! EDSY! Wake up, sleepyhead!" I awoke to the smell of black coffee wafting in from the kitchen and the annoying voice of my best friend.

My mind was still in a daze after the terribly horrible nightmare i had just experienced. I was chained to a chair in an empty room and nobody was there except my flushed, angry-looking manager. I had to go through his rant about my carelessness and irresponsibility and him threatening to fire me all over again. I shivered. There was no way i would be able to face him ever again without flinching. Suddenly, reality hit me in the face and i snapped out of my reverie.

"What the... Lidsy, get off me!" I pushed her off my body and sat up straight in bed, "What's goooing on? Where's the fiiire?"

Lidsy blew hair out of her face and got off the floor, laughing at me while waving around a manila envelope in my face. She smiled deviously as if she had just hatched a totally evil plan to take over the world which i knew nothing about.

"Edsy, look what i found! I woke up in the morning to check our mail and i saw this in the mailbox... weeeeell, it looks like we're going on an adventure today!" Lidsy looked absolutely delighted at whatever it is she's rambling on about but i still had no clue whats going on.

As if she read my mind, she suddenly said, "Oh yeah, right. I should probably let you read this. Come to kitchen after you're done, oka? I made breakfast hehehe."

I looked after her uncertainly as she bounded happily out of my room. What other horrible concoction has she cooked up again? On the bright side, i bet nothing could be worse than the stale, horribly charred casserole she tried making two months ago. I trembled at that memory. It was horrible. I don't trust her anywhere near the kitchen alone.

Suddenly, i remembered what she was talking about and all thoughts of her miserable cooking flew out of my mind. Wondering what she was talking so excitedly about, i glanced down and my eyes instantly met with a very familiar penmanship. This is definitely, unmistakably Chanyeol's handwriting. I felt my heart rate rocketing as my eyes slowly scanned the words in the letter.

"Dear Love,

Im sorry i had to rush off 2 days ago. My heart has not been at ease ever since i left you that abruptly and to make it up to you, here are two tickets to the newly-opened amusement park just a few blocks from here.

You and Lidiya can spend the whole day there. I even got you express tickets which means that you don't have to queue up for the rides. I've already filled Lidiya up on everything so you needn't have to worry.

Again, Erdina, I'm really sorry I had to leave you without notice. But i didnt know too until yesterday morning. I hope you forgive me. I love you. And i trust you enjoyed the roses yesterday?

Enjoy your day with Lidiya, okay love?

Ps, look out for blue heart-shaped balloons today.

Yours sincerely with all my heart,

Your boyfriend Chanyeol♥

 

My heart was instantly filled with warmth and tears sprung to my eyes. Why can't he just let me be angry at him for once? Every single time we argue, he just has to be all romantic and considerate and i fall in love with him again every single time.
