A Midnight Confession

Recommended Posts

TaeYeon, aged twelve, looked up at the clock... 11.14PM. 


 


She was baby-sitting her neighboor's son, aged one, with her three younger sisters, Jessica, aged ten, Soonkyu, aged eight and Stephanie aged four, while she was out with their father for work.


 


She came into Stephi's room holding the baby, crying.


 


"He wouldn't stop crying." Screamed TaeYeon.


"Try giving him his toys." Replied Stephanie sitting on her bed.


 


TaeYeon brought the baby's stuffed bag that his mother gave her and started browsing. The baby didn't stop and suddenly started saying "Coin-coin".


 


Stephanie stood up and came next to her older sister and whispered "I think he wants his duck toys. ah, here's one, two!"


 


The girls found yellow and green ducks and gave them to Suho but he wouldn't stop.


 


"What now?" TaeYeon turned to Steph with a "help me" face expression. 


"There's no white one? It's his favourite.." Stephanie replied.


"Uhm no, I'll go look for one in his room." TaeYeon left Stephi's room heading to her sisters' room.


 


She headed directly to the window and leaned to see check if Jessica is sitting on the garage's rooftop.


 


In fact, she was. And she was checking the stars with the binoculars that her aunt Yuri offered to her.


 


"Can you read a bed time story to Steph and Suho while I'll go bring his toy?" She begged.


"Bed time story?" Yelled the girl. "Are you kidding me?"


"This will only take two minutes, PLEASE!"


"You already got your answer."


 


Jessica is allergic to babies. She once tried to carry Stephanie when she was a little baby but she started crying like a fool. And plus, she was busy watching the adorable sky.


 


TaeYeon turned and came back into the room. Soonkyu was, as usual, sitting to her desk writing something.


 


"Sun. Sun. SUN!" Called TaeYeon.


"Listen to this: Â« Rainbow and BoA held each other's hand through the centuries, and these two courage spirits finish with promising one another to.... promising one another to.... Â» what would they promise? To respect something..."


"Sun. Can you read a story to Steph and Suho while I go bring something from Hyori's house?"


"Ok." Soonkyu gets up holding her notepad. "I'll read my new story to them. They'll love it."


"Thank you." TaeYeon rushed downstairs and wore her jacket and left, heading to the neighboor's house.


 


It was a cold night of December, the street was dark, empty and fresh. The snow obviously annouces the arrival of Christmas. She flew in her thoughts and started thinking about what should she offer to Hyori once she gets married to her father, until a car arrived. It was the Lee brothers, Chanyeol and Donghae.


 


She didn't intend to ignore them, but in spite of it, she did, and persued walking to Hyori's house.


 


Donghae crossed the street running, got fixed in front of her and kept staring at her, for like a minute.


 


She was staring back. Finally he spoke.


 


"I have to tell you something. You're not forced to listen but, in all cases, I'll just tell you."


 


He has brought his american football ball that he kept passing nervously from a hand to another. Left to right, then right to left. Then left to right and right to left until TaeYeon cought the ball.


 


"I won't be able to listen if you keep doing this." She put the ball under her arm. "So?"


"So?"


"Donghae!"


"Sorry."


 


He kept clearing his throat several times and finally said.


 


"I broke up with Suzy, today. Well, I left her because... nevermind."


"Why?"


"I said nevermind"


"OK. Anyway, I do not care."


"Because I was annoyed with her. Of course I didn't tell her this, but she will think it's because of you. Despite that I have told her that you're nothing more than a neighboor, and even if... you're prettier than before, which I maybe.."


 


TaeYeon interrupted him. "You think I'm pretty?"


"Yes, I think, well, Chanyeol thinks. And many other boys. But don't ask me who."


"Okey."


"There. That's all I wanted to say. Now go."


 


When he started walking a bit away she announced,


 


"I'm happy that you left her. Not that I missed you or something."


"You didn't miss me."


 


It wasn't a question, but despite it, she replied.


 


"Oh, no. Maybe just a little bit, but no, I don't think."


"Of course. I wasn't expecting to miss you."


"Obviously." She nodded. "Well, I have to go now, Sun will soon kill me."


 


Donghae took his ball and walked away.


 


TaeYeon got in Hyori's garden and it looked that someone left the door open. Maybe Hyori is back? Is her father back too?


Well, appearently not.


 


A short man appeared. TaeYeon was doubting him and didn't hesitate before screaming since she's never seen him in the house before. The short man pushed the little girl and a mysterious ball appeared and hit the man.


 


"Donghae!" TaeYeon realised, with a bright smile, barely tearing up.


 


The boy came in the garden, blocked the man face to face to the land, and called his older brother.


 


Meanwhile, TaeYeon was staring at him. How comes that she has always ignored him. Everything slowed down around her and allowed her to watch carefully the young boy in front of her, blocking an older man to the floor.


 


"Excellent blocking!" She said, with blossoms around her eyes.


"Now tell me if you missed me or not, Taeng~"


"Oh fishy! Yes.. I missed you as much as this" She spaced her palms around fifteen centimeters."


 


The man tried to escape but Donghae fixed him tighter to the floor.


 


"How?"


"OK. I missed you as much as this!" She said, with wide open arms.


"Maybe me and you could go out together, at the age of fourteen maybe?" He suggested.


"Maybe thirteen!" She replied with agreement and impatience to wait for such a long time. "January for you, April for me."


 


Donghae's brother arrived and interrupted the conversation. After few questions and ID card check, they found out it was finally Hyori's brother. Chanyeol appologized for the young man and took the kids out of his sight.


 


"Don't be late." He said to his brother. "You too, young lady." Chanyeol pointed at TaeYeon.


 


"So. My sisters are alone. I have to go"


Donghae couragely leaned and kissed her cheek.


"Don't forget to wait me until our thirteen." She said, and kissed his cheek back.


"I will be waiting."


 


"I saw everything.." Jessica arrived, which made TaeYeon blush and glance Donghae "That was an excellent throwing Donghae! TaeYeon, Suho won't stop crying if you'll just stand here thanking Donghae."


 


"Phew. Thank God she haven't seen it." TaeYeon thought to herself


 


THE END
