Quietly leading you up into his room, away from the crowd of random family members, relatives, and family friends, he gently held your hand before closing the door. He held your soda in his hands, before putting it on the table and switching on the computer that sat idly on his desk.

He switched the tab onto YouTube, and played a countdown. Three minutes left until the new year. In those three minutes, he intentionally wanted to have genuine fun with you, since he was always so busy and never had time for you. But now, he wanted to be alone and spend time with his lover.

For those three, slow, happy minutes, he played a quick game, gifted you things, exchanged words, and showed genuine affection with a slight smile in his eyes.

“… happy new years, love.” Rin said, putting on a funny paper new years glasses, gently pecking your lips when it hit 12:00 AM.
