NYE (iii)
(ii)←
about six feet away, trying to shoot down little metal ducks for a purple teddy bear prize are three drag queens. tomina, alexandra, and steph.
nichkhun's not sure if taecyeon's screaming because he's scared or because he's glad to see steph again. but unfortunately, before nichkhun can do anything, the drag queens have spotted them.
nichkhun watches in horror as they stalk up to him.
"well, well, well..." says tomina. "if it isn't the couple from this afternoon."
nichkhun tries to explain that taec and he are not a couple, thank you very much, but before he can do so, steph has dragged taecyeon to the game stand, demanding that he win this game and get steph the purple teddy bear, dammit.
taecyeon complies and nichkhun figures that maybe this can get them into the three queens' good graces, but every time taecyeon's close to winning, tomina shoves his side, making taecyeon miss by a mile.
after about thirty dollars worth of tries, alexandra nudges nichkhun on the side.
"why don't you try now?" he says in a gruff voice.
at this stage, the day has become night and all of chansung's bananas are in the bellies of the three hungry drag queens. tomina cracks open the case of energy drinks and pushes one toward nichkhun.
"drink this before you play" he commands and nichkhun finds no reason to complain. he's shorted them from their money after all.
the same thing happens with nichkhun. he's almost winning, but at that last shot, tomina pushes him to the side. it's either that tomina's a sore loser or he's doing this to torture them. nichkhun thinks it's the latter.
after feeding them the whole case of energy drinks, minus three cans which the queens have consumed, the queens leave. but not before showering them with kisses, calling them cute, and with steph telling taec to call, whenever and where ever baby, with a wink.
after the drag queens leave with a parting "just be glad we didn't call the cops on you, honey buns!", nichkhun and taecyeon remain the only ones in front of the game stall.
their money is almost all gone and the festival has pretty much died down as it's close to 1AM in the morning.
"let's go" says taecyeon, trying wipe the smudges of lipstick off his cheek.
but something rises up in nichkhun's chest. something like fury, embarrassment, disbelief, and a little spice of hope.
"no" says nichkhun.
stopping the guy running the stall from closing up (finally), he begs for one last try. the worker shrugs, saying he'll just give the prize to nichkhun because, god knows, nichkhun's spent more than ten times the actual worth of the bear. but nichkhun won't have it.
"one more try" he says firmly.
and so, nichkhun is handed the fake gun once more. he loads it, cocks the gun, then aims.
bang
bang
bang
bang
...
bang.
five in a row.
"wow" says taecyeon, rubbing his eyes.
"congratulations" says the worker in a flat voice. "you win the prize."
nichkhun gets the ugly purple bear and taecyeon drags nichkhun off to a pub nearby.
"we gots to celebrate."
"we have no money."
"we have to celebrate something for today" taecyeon says seriously. "come on. we deserve it."
so, against all of nichkhun's logic, they share one beer. but nichkhun had been planning ahead, saving exactly what they needed for a subway ride back home. what he has not planned for is the bartender recognizing them and offering taecyeon to open a tab.
they share another beer, then they each have their own. after that, nichkhun doesn't remember anything else other than a chant of "shots, shots, shots, shots!"
when they come to, nichkhun is sporting a bruise on his left eye and taecyeon has several scrapes on his fists. still drunk, nichkhun is surprised that he is angry when he finds large amounts of unknown goo on the purple teddy bear.
"damnit taec!"
of course it is taecyeon's fault.
"what?! was it for stylist nuna?"
"this was for wooyoung!"
§
"what?!" chansung and junho yell.
"so our bananas and drinks get consumed and WOOYOUNG is the one who gets an ugly stuffed animal?" shrieks junho.
"makes sense" mutters chansung.
"and what happened to the mangoes and ice cream?" asks junsu.
"we don't know" says taecyeon. "well, except for the ice cream..."
"so where is it?" asks wooyoung.
"um."
"that part's coming up" says taec, grinning.
§
"why wooyoung? he has his ice cream. oh crap. where's the cooler?" asks taecyeon.
"don't worry" says nichkhun, looking smug. "i found a way to keep it safe."
"so where is it?"
nichkhun beckons taecyeon closer and closer and closer, until taecyeon's face is right up against nichkhun's.
"i hid it in the bear" nichkhun stage-whispers, getting beer breath in taecyeon's ear.
§
"you hid it in the bear?" asks wooyoung in disbelief.
he looks at the purple animal in their living room and pokes it. it gives an audible squish.
"ewww" everyone says.
"look, i was drunk for half of this okay? my logic seemed crystal clear at the time" nichkhun says in defense.
"yeah" agrees taecyeon. "which is why i thought nichkhun was a genius at the time."
§
"dude. that is...brilliant!" shout taecyeon. "it's perfect. it means we don't have to carry two things. we only have to carry...hold on, where are the mangoes?"
"dudes" the barkeep interrupts. "you guys wanted blended mango daiquiris remember?"
"oh" says taecyeon.
"oh" says nichkhun.
and right then, both of them understand that it's time to go home.
§
"and so we ended up home, still a little tipsy" finishes nichkhun.
"but you came back at four AM" chansung points out.
"of the following night" emphasizes wooyoung.
"we. um... heh. it's funny really" starts taecyeon.
"we got caught trying to jump the stiles at the subway station and while we were being held in the office for breaking the rules, we fell asleep and they didn't know who we were or anything because we had left our wallets at the bar so by the time we woke up it was another day" nichkhun says in one breath.
everyone looks incredulous.
"well" says minjae finally. "at least you're back in time for schedule."
minjae points at the clock. it tells everyone that it is 6AM in the morning. everyone groans because this story has just cost them precious hours of sleep.
"hyung taec and i are hung over" states nichkhun. "couldn't we just...?"
"no" deadpans wooyoung. "you two aren't getting out of this. even if you guys are our hyungs."
"don't you want some ice cream wooyoung?" teases taecyeon, pushing the bear towards wooyoung.
"throw that thing out. please" asks minjae.
§
the following day (or the same day actually), they perform their schedule on new year's eve. it's not the best way to spend the day, but all of the boys are happy they are together.
it's at six minutes before midnight that wooyoung notices something strange. there are a group of very manly looking ladies out in the crowd, cheering 2PM on. and right when they're about to do their next song, the music cuts off.
"technical difficulties folks" taecyeon says into the mic. "we'll be back before you know it!"
wooyoung's staring now because they didn't hear anything of the sort through their head pieces that communicate with the sound board techs.
"nichkhun and wooyoung, will you please go check things out?" ask junho into the mic, more for the audience's sake.
there's a twinkle in nichkhun's eye and when wooyoung scans the audience one more time, he swears that the manly ladies are shouting "good luck honey!" directly at him.
nichkhun ushers wooyoung back to their dressing room.
"what's going on?" wooyoung asks, but as soon as he enters the room, he sees that god forsaken purple teddy bear again. except, this time, it's pristine. and now, as wooyoung views it not at 4AM in the morning, not covered in gunk, and not in the arms of a lip gloss covered nichkhun, it's not so bad looking after all.
wooyoung turns around, grabbing the hand on the small of his back that had been leading him here in the first place.
"hyung, what...?"
but wooyoung's blinded by nichkhun's smile and the fact that he's holding a really really large cooler with his favorite ice cream brand logo emblazoned on the side.
"i asked jihae for a favor" starts nichkhun. "she visited the ice cream convention since we couldn't."
wooyoung's mouth forms a little 'o'.
"and i couldn't get you a goldfish (those suckers are hard to get), but i got you another teddy bear from the festival."
wooyoung's lips close again.
"and wooyoung?"
wooyoung blinks up at nichkhun, kind of speechless and kind of amazed at how well the make-up artist covered nichkhun's dark circles.
nichkhun looks down at his watch. and after about 30 seconds, nichkhun looks up too.
the press of nichkhun's warm lips is wondrous and makes wooyoung feel like he does when he watches those time lapse videos of roses blooming over and over. little prickles of warmth are bursting inside him, like pop rocks except a hundred times better. and wooyoung is pretty sure there are real fireworks going off somewhere.
when they part, wooyoung still has those round eyes.
"happy new year" nichkhun says and squeezes wooyoung's hand.
unfortunately, there's not much time and wooyoung can't enjoy his ice cream right this second. but when nichkhun finally leads him back to the stage, hands clasped tight, wooyoung breaks into a smile that lights up the whole performance.
§
later, at the 2PM house, everyone is pleasantly surprised to find mangoes, bananas, energy drinks, and rice cakes (for the reunion of the elder trio) already at the house, arranged by taecyeon.
they (with the 2AM guys) have a mini celebration and a movie marathon, which everyone complains is stupid and corny but enjoys anyway.
after one energy drink, minjae hyung, in good spirits, announces that he is going out to buy them all some beer and soju to celebrate a good year spent. everyone rejoices except nichkhun and taec. but at four in the morning, there's a call...
"hello?"
"guys?"
"minjae hyung?"
"help."
