"you'd never guess who i'm planning to kiss on this year's party." jungwon practically hops towards sunoo's locker as he fails to suppress the bright grin on his face.

"good morning to you too."

"yeah, good morning. so listen... about the new year's kiss." the younger's grin resembles a cheshire cat while he's visibly vibrating with glee.

"should we think about christmas first?" as a way to rile jungwon up, sunoo continues to ask.

"yeah, well i've decided about new year's already."

sunoo smiles at his bestfriend's excitement though he isn't able to hide the confusion on his face.

"that's nice but i thought you weren't going to attend."

he recalls how the younger boy said a few days ago that he has no plan of attending shim jake's annual new year's party because he deems it 'too crowdy and loud'.

sunoo knows the real reason was because his crush will be attending with his girlfriend.

jungwon shrugs. "changed my mind. so, have any ideas?" he bumps sunoo lightly, causing the boy to almost drop his chemistry book and resulting in his sling pouch where he keeps his lip balm and face powder to fall.

"oops, sorry." jungwon winces while he helps sunoo pick up the fallen material.

the older boy shakes his head with a smile.

"thanks." he adjusts the book in his arms as he slides the sling pouch over his shoulder, grunting.

"i really have no idea who you're planning on kissing though."

jungwon looks like he's going to burst if he's not able to spit it out right now. "i'm planning to kiss lee heeseung."

that is something sunoo did not expect from his dongsaeng. "the lee heeseung? good luck with that, jungwon."

jake's new year's party has the traditional midnight kiss for good luck. somehow, this tradition ends up an opportunity for people to try and force themselves on golden boy lee heeseung since no matter how people try in the past two years he's in highschool, he would never let anyone kiss him. not even the countless boyfriends and girlfriends he had.

when sunoo heard about it last year, he can't help but find their game really stupid.

the guy doesn't want to be kissed yet people never stop trying to. he probably has hygienic issues or something.

there had been countless bets that exceed level of absurdities like betting their own dog or whatever but nothing works.

even with his reputation as the school's goody two shoes, lee leeseung lets no one try and kiss him. sunoo didn't know why but that doesn't change the fact that people are literally trying to invade someone's space just to satisfy their sick egos.

he guesses they think no one having done it yet makes kissing heeseung even more worth it. their popularity depends on his. who doesn't want to take a chance on the star player in the basketball team and the popular good guy that sunoo thought only existed in young adult novels?

he's not even sure they want to kiss him because they genuinely like to or they just want to make a record of being able to kiss heeseung. he finds it pathetic for those shallow people, and sad for heeseung.

"now what makes you say that?" jungwon shakes his head, clicking his tongue.

"the long history of past and, not to mention, stupid attempts to kiss lee heeseung is enough evidence for your inevitable failure."
