MinSeo

'Let's go.' I held Joshua's hand before walking out of the dormitory to take the subway.

Afer we reached COEX's SMTown Theatre, the place was filled with fans. Not from Korea itself but also fans of different countries. Thailand, Singapore, Japan and many other countries. They were all holding onto fanmade lightsticks, mini-banners and headbands.

I even heard that NCT would be there. I mean Mark has to support Hana, right?

Obviously, we were recognised by other people but they were all very kind and friendly. Taking photos with us but also gave us our personal space.

We then entered the theatre after the security checks and went to sit down in our seats. As more people came in, we spot NCT which sat right in front of us.

'Mark-ya.' I tapped him and he stood up to bow.

'Annyeonghasayo, Joshua-Sunbaenim and MinSeo-ssi.' The others greeted Joshua while Mark was smiling at the both of us.

'Annyeonghasayo.' Joshua greeted them back.

Before the lights went off, we saw someone entering from the entrance.

Vernon.

He walked towards us and sat down.

I knew he would come.

The lights went off then the show started with the opening performance. Hana held her mic confidently and rapped her line as her line came. I guess rapping skills do really run in the family.

Afterwards, the four older ones of the group ran back to the backstage to prepare for their next stage while the younger ones of the group stayed on the stage to introduce themselves. Hana remained since she was the oldest out of the 7 younger members.

'Annyeonghasayo, Hana Lee-mida.' She introduced herself and bowed before smiling.

She looked at me as I waved at her while the other members introduced themselves one by one.

'I want to thank every single of you here who made this debut possible. Thank you, Manager-nim, President-nim and my groupmates. I want to thank-' She looked up and I guess she saw Hansol.

Her tears rolled down as she continued her speech with a smile on her face,' Mark oppa, my family, MinSeo and you.'

'Don't cry! Don't cry!' The fans were chanting and she started smiling but her tears never stop flowing.

After that, the showcase continued and it ended with them thanking the fans.

As the crowd walked away and we walked out to the backdoor linking to the backstage, as soon as Hansol walked in and the door closes, Hana ran and hugged Hansol, crying, while she kept on apologising. Not giving Hansol a chance to talk.

Joshua held onto my hand as we greeted the rest of NCT and the other members were talking to us too. They were all really nice and friendly.

Hansol

I didn't want to turn up at her showcase since we were on a break for weeks.We haven't been talking and meeting each other ever since we fought back then.

That day, I met her at our dormitory when the Hyung line was out while I stayed in with the maknae line.We were chilling in my shared room when she sat up to talk and she looked at me.

'Let's take a break.' She sat up and she let go of my hand.

'Wae? Why so sudden?' I asked.

'We both are so busy and we just lost it. We lost the connection between us.'

'That's so unfair. We didn't lose the connection between us, Hana. I lost you. You have been so busy with all your practices that you don't call nor reply my texts. I'm your boyfriend and I have the right to be worried about you.'

'Well, I was busy.' She started getting louder and stood up to take her belongings.

'Busy? And I wasn't? I was worried sick. I cared and I guess I just lost you. Please don't go.' My eyes were getting teary and I held my tears back.

'Well, I guess this shouldn't even have happened at the start. We were both never supposed to be together. A trainee should not even date an idol.' She said before walking out.

I blamed myself for not going after her and felt regretful that I did not prove her wrong. If I could turn back time, I would tell her that I'm here and I don't want this thing that we have to end.

After all, I found out that she left was not because she wanted to but she didn't want to be a burden or distraction to me.

Back to her showcase, I'm really proud of her to finally debut after training for years and felt happy for her. I see her on stage and felt really proud that tears of joy filled my eyes.

At some point in her speech, our eyes meet and she smiled with tears in her eyes. She stopped for a moment and continued.

After everything, I made my way to the backstage and closed the door behind me before being embraced by her, crying.

'Mianhae. Mianhae. Mianhae.'

'Wae? Don't cry. You're going to make me tear up.'

'I shouldn't have walked out that day and I didn't mean those words. I hurt you and I'm really sorry, Hansol-ya. I would never leave you. I missed you. I thought you would never turn up.' She pulled away and cried.

'Don't apologise. I should have. I'm sorry that I didn't listen to you or spend time with you. I missed you so much. Don't cry, alright?' I wiped her tears off and she breaks into a smile as she held onto my hand.

I did not know what I was thinking but I held her hand and put it down before pressing my lips to hers with a peck.

'Ya!' She screamed before hitting me and realising that everyone is gone except for Joshua and MinSeo.

MinSeo

'I guess we did it?' I whispered to Joshua and he smiled then nodded.

Days after, we came to Christmas Day.

-----

We were all at Eomeoni's house, eating, laughing and talking to each other while we played games.

We sat down together by the dining table to eat the dinner feast that Eomeoni prepared with me and Hana. Mark was over too with the other NCT Dream members.

At the last part of the party, that was to open the gifts. We exchanged our gifts and talked by the fireplace.

I was walking out of the house after saying our goodbyes when it was the moment that I've been dreaming like since I was 10 years old.

Joshua and I stopped at the front door. He held my hand and said,' MinSeo-ya, Merry Christmas.'

I replied,' Merry Christmas, Jagi.'

He pointed up and I realised that we were both standing under a mistletoe. We both looked into each others' eyes and his face slowly came closer to mine till our lips touched.

After a while, we pulled away when he embraced me.

Well, it was quite a great Christmas.
