Hwang Hyunjin 02

December 31st, it's almost night, almost midnight, everyone's sitting with family or friends, celebrating... and you're alone. For you, it was both a birthday and a New Year's. None of your friends agreed to come over because no one gives a damn about you. Everyone's celebrating with their families.
You wrote in your general chat yesterday about inviting everyone to your birthday party, but everyone said, "I'm out" or "I can't." But you forgot one thing. In that group, there was Hyunjin, whom you hated and loved. You two didn't get along right away, but you fell in love. He loved you right away, too, but he was stubborn. You would just start trash-talking each other at random moments, and Hwan would even pick you up and throw you lightly over the edge.

In short... no one came to see you, your parents are in another city.
You were sitting alone in the kitchen, the lighting was cozy, yellow lights from the garland and a yellowish tint from the range hood. The TV was still on, showing some movie before the chimes.
Suddenly, just as you were about to eat your cake, your doorbell rang. You thought it was a delivery, but when you opened it, you saw Hyunjin... He was holding two bags of snacks, fruit, and alcohol, and in the other bag was your gift.
"I hope you made it in time?" he said, smiling breathlessly. He was clearly running towards you.
