yangyang ➛ start of something new

yangyang: hey guys, guys, i dare you to give me someone to kiss at midn—
yangyang: NO NO NO, NOT HER!
+ yangyang and y/n sitting in the tree, kissing..

note: this whole idea was inspired by high school musical! if you're wondering what the tree house looks like, it's the same tree house in the third movie of hsm. also, i've never been in a new year's party so i just made up this very first part.
+ hyunjin as in skz's hyunjin.

━━━━━━━━━⊰❈⊱⊰❈⊱━━━━━━━━━

the new year's party is a tradition in their school that the student council members throw every year.

the party is held at a venue that the council members pick but for this year, it was held at the treasurer a.k.a lee chaeyeon's mansion.

all high school students are invited but not obligated to attend, but even if that's the case, y/n's classmates are all present.

"y/n, could you please keep your chin up and pay attention to us?" y/n heard hyunjin complain across her and looked up from her phone to face her friends who were already staring at her.

"look, i know your archnemesis is present in the room but we'll do our best to avoid him and his circle, alright? now let's enjoy the new years party, come on!" chaewon tugged her arm as they made their way in front of the stage to watch a couple performing a song.

on the other side of the room stood yangyang and his friends, looking around for anything that can keep them entertained.

yangyang turned to his friends with something in mind, "hey guys, guys, give me someone to kiss at midnight—"

"y/n l/n." yoshinori smirked as he noticed the change in yangyang's expression.

"NO NO NO, NOT HER!" he protested as his eyes drifted to where y/n was standing along with her friends.

"shouldn't you be grateful to us? you can finally make a move on her. this is the boost you need." xion persuaded him.

"right, just admit you have a crush on her and go." hwall teased.

yangyang huffed at his friends' statements, "i DO NOT have a crush on her. did you already forgot this rivalry between us that started since fourth grade?"

they all shrugged at him.

"i mean, you asked for a suggestion earlier. we gave you an answer." yoshinori added.

back to y/n and her friends, y/n told them she'd go outside to catch some fresh air.

"but y/n, the countdown is in 10 minutes!" junkyu exclaimed and held her back by her arm.

"kyu, i'll join you again in five minutes. i'll be fine, i'll come find you guys later." she reassured him and let junkyu remove his hands on her arm.

y/n nodded at her friends and started making her way to the front door, completely unaware of several eyes following her at the far side of the room.

once she stepped outside the back door, the cool night air greeted her as she made her way to the tree house in chaeyeon's backyard.

there are a few teenagers around chatting and having fun, probably wanting to watch the fireworks without squishing their way out when the time comes.

y/n carefully went up the tree house and thankfully, it was empty. she took a seat next to the ship's steering wheel and continued to watch the others from above. she enjoyed the calm atmosphere surrounding her as she looked up at the stars.

it was only a few moments of silence when she heard someone climbing the tree house as the wood creaked underneath the person's weight and in came the person she was least happy to see.

y/n immediately scowled at him, "what are you doing here?" she asked sternly.

yangyang seemed unfazed, rolling his eyes as he sat next to her, but still minded the distance. "what, you think you're the only one allowed in here?" he sassed.

she scoffed at his attitude and was about to stand up to leave when yangyang stopped her abruptly.

"wait, don't leave. i didn't came here to pick a fight with you like usual."

y/n looked back at him with furrowed eyebrows, "but we're enemies. that's what we're supposed to do." she clarified.

yangyang sighed in exasperation and swept his black hair back in frustration, "well, maybe i don't want us to be like that anymore. maybe i want to change how we treat each other from now on." he confessed.

y/n almost had a whiplash at the words that came out of his mouth and stared at his side profile in disbelief.

'peace was never an option—no, of course that's a joke, i think.'

she remained seated next to him with her back straight as they looked at each other.

"do you perhaps you want to end this useless quarrel between us?" she questioned.

yangyang nodded as he laughed quietly, "yes, i'm kind of sick and tired of it if i'm gonna be honest."

y/n agreed with his statement, "me too. it's stupid."

they both laughed light-heartedly as they slowly made up after years of being rivals and stared at each other.

yangyang opened his mouth for his other confession but then people started pouring out of the house for the new year's countdown that caught the attention of the pair.

the countdown starts.

"ten!..."

"nine!.."

"eight!..."

y/n eyes widened at a thought and looked back at yangyang, only to find him already looking back at her with a twinkle of amusement in his eyes.

the pair unknowingly started leaning close to each other at the count of five but they don't hear the people anymore.

their lips finally touched each other at the same time the colorful fireworks explode into the night sky and the people cheered loudly.

"woah, is that yangyang and y/n?!?!" hyunjin screamed dramatically and pointed at the pair kissing in the tree house. his scream earned the attention of nearby teenagers which made them look up as well.

"holy cheese, i thought they were mortal enemies!" jisung exclaimed as he placed a hand on his chest in shock.

chaewon chuckled, "they're literally sitting on a tree, kissing..."

that night ended with laughter and unexpected turn of events, which became an unforgettable memory for a few.

while yangyang's friends were proud of him that night, y/n never heard the end of it when they went back to school after the holidays.
