“Nice Sweater” + SF9 Hwiyoung.
warnings: mentions of alcohol.
The Christmas party wasn’t exactly being fun, but honestly, it was better than being alone in your bedroom binge watching Hallmark movies and eating chocolate bars, or drowning in hot cider... Was it, really? You were honestly considering leaving just to do exactly that in the safety and comfort of your room.
But you’d promised Lyn that you’d attend and ‘have fun’ at this party, so you were trying really hard to. It was for the people who couldn’t go back home during the Holidays, and unfortunately, you were one of them, so making an effort of getting you out of your room and make you see the light of day (or night) Lyn had dragged you into this mess.
Almost everyone was already too drunk, and you were considering to start drinking more, but you knew the headache that would await the next morning wasn’t worth it.
You looked at whoever had talked to you, not before taking a glance at your own clothing. “Oh, thanks”. You were wearing a Christmas sweater that was both ugly and adorable, a snowman with cute flakes falling around it, full of silver glitter.
“I’m Hwiyoung” he smiled, taking a seat beside you.
“y/n” you nodded as a greeting and took a sip of your drink.
“You don’t seem to be having a good time, y/n”
“Fine?” he laughed “Don’t worry, I’m pretty bored as well, my friend Dawon asked me to come with him so”
“Well, that makes two of us getting dragged over here”
Hwiyoung and you had a nice conversation, he told you about why he had to stay in Campus for the holidays and you did the same, and soon you talked about everything and anything else, only deciding to leave the spot you were sitting at when a couple started making out right next you, almost pushing you off the couch.
“Well, at least someone’s having fun” Hwiyoung and you laughed, entering the kitchen of the house with Hwiyoung behind you.
“I guess it could be worse” he shrugged, looking around the kitchen for something to eat, you didn’t even know whose house it was, but you joined in the task. Finding some cookies and chips, you sat down with your backs against the counter, sharing the snacks and stil having a conversation, you had never felt this comfortable around a stranger in a very long time, so you were finally starting to enjoy the party.
“What are you two doing?!” a voice yelled from the door, making you both startled, you saw that guy earlier but you can’t really remember his name.
“Uh...” you can’t help but laugh, you’re literally seating on the floor devouring junk food with a cute boy in the middle of a college party. “We’re just...”
“Have you kissed yet? It’s the rules” The boy speaks again, eyebrows raised.
“Excuse me?” you almost spit out the cookie you where munching, your face turning red in about three seconds.
“Well, that’s a mistletoe above your heads, you have to kiss it’s the rules” he explains.
“Who would put mistletoe here...?” Hwiyoung is as embarrassed as you, skeptical of the fact that there could be a mistletoe above the two of you. “Oh”
Unsure, you look at Hwiyoung, he seems a little conflicted but still leans towards you slowly, ready to back off if that’s what you want. He thinks to himself, that’s very unlike him, he’s usually shy and discreet, but he’s really making a move. The kiss lasts a little more than you two expected, lips moving against each other at a steady pace, when you two break the kiss, the guy from the door has already left.
“So,” Hwiyoung smirks, you notice he is breathless, “What are your plans for New Year’s?”
