Seokmin has tried to confess to you seventeen and a half times.
He's done nearly everything in his power to get the message across. A letter in your locker? Check. An orchestrated, one-on-one walk in the rain? Check. Hell, he even begged Joshua to lock you two in the club room that one time.
It seems Seokmin's efforts are all futile— because you remain blissfully unaware of the fact he's kind of in love with you.
"No plans of giving up yet, Seok?"
The hushed question drags Seokmin out of his reverie. Mingyu at least had the decency to whisper the query, but Seokmin still instinctively looks towards you to check if you might have overheard. You look none the wiser as you engage in a conversation with Wonwoo.
Seokmin's grumbled response of "shut up" only makes Mingyu snicker.
"Year three of being down baaad," the taller man teases, sing-songing the words to vex Seokmin just a little more. It works; Seokmin elbows his friend in the side.
"I'll figure it out," Seokmin huffs, even though that's something he's said at least once a month since he first realized how he feels for you.
The glee club meeting of the day kicks off with Seungkwan offering reminders and pointers for the upcoming national show choir competition. Try as he might, Seokmin can't really bring himself to listen.
His focus is entirely on you.
From where he's seated, he can onlysee the side of your face, and he truly tries not to make his staring obvious. His friends have all teased him relentlessly for wearing his heart on his sleeve yet failing to offer that very heart to you when it matters.
Honestly? Seokmin feels like he's running out of ways to confess.
He's so caught up in his moping that he doesn't immediately register Seungkwan addressing him. Seokmin only snaps to attention when Mingyu knocks his knee.
"Hm?" Seokmin looks to Seungkwan. "Sorry, what was that?"
There's a ripple of laughter throughout the room. In the corner of his eye, Seokmin can see you biting back a smile. It makes the tips of his ears burn with embarrassment.
"I said," Seungkwan repeats exasperatedly. "I was hoping you could perform a Christmas song for the next club meeting."
Seokmin blinks once, then twice. Right. He was slotted to perform next week. "A Christmas song," he echoes, his mind still trying to sort through its thoughts of you. "Gotcha."
He's convinced that that's all there will be to it until Seungkwan goes on, "It could even be a duet, if that makes things easier for you."
Seokmin is just a second too late to the punch line, because you're already raising your hand. You look just the appropriate amount of excited as you call out, "I'd love to do a duet with Seok, if he'll have me."
He nearly chokes on air then and there.
If he'll have you? How can you say something like that and expect him to not want to pass out?
Mingyu is visibly fighting the urge to burst into laughter. Seungkwan has that annoying, knowing look on his face. None of it matters to Seokmin, though, because in that very moment, he realizes that maybe he has one more confession up his sleeve.
It's a mammoth task, keeping his expression under control as he meets your gaze. You're sporting that smile he loves so much— the one that steals the air from his lungs.
That's why Seokmin's tone is just a little bit breathless as he says, "Of course."
He's saying yes to the duet, sure.
But he's also saying yes to the treacherous prospect of having you and wanting you.
Tumblr media
"Baby, It's Cold Outside is off the table."
Seokmin isn't at all surprise with your opening statement. It draws an affectionate laugh from him, even, because having known you for so long gives him some sense of what you like and what you don't.
The two of you decided to meet up outside of school hours to discuss and practice your impending performance. It was far from the first time that you were out together, though it was the first time the two of you were slotted to sing together.
"I can't believe we haven't done a duet yet," you say amusedly as you scroll through your Spotify playlist for prospects.
"It's criminal, isn't it?" Seokmin muses with a coolness that he could almost applaud himself for. He's acting like his usual self on the outside, but his mind is running a mile an hour as he imagines how to execute this.
One chance. He has one chance to get this right.
"We can be Christina Aguilera and Brian McKnight," he suggests delicately. "A little Have Yourself A Merry Little Christmas moment."
You let out a thoughtful hum. "I don't think I can hit Aguilera's notes," you admit with a giggle.
Seokmin chuckles along. He's not miffed by your contradiction. This is all part of his master plan.
"Is Happy Christmas, War Is Over too serious?" you ask.
"A little too solemn for my taste."
"Fair."
The two of you exchange suggestions back and forth for the next half hour until Seokmin decides it's finally time to pull out the big guns. "How about we stick to a classic?" he prompts, his tone innocent as ever.
You roll your shoulders as you glance at him inquisitively.
Seokmin clears his throat, at least a dozen platitudes running through his mind. Now or never. You miss a hundred percent of the shots you don't take. Just do it.
"Mariah Carey," he says. "All I Want For Christmas Is You?"
There's a terribly long moment where Seokmin thinks you're going to deny him. He doesn't really have a backup for this, doesn't have a Plan B. His breath stills in his chest as he waits for your response of—
"Hey, I think we can pull that one off."
Seokmin just barely holds himself back from pumping his fist in the air.
Tumblr media
It's a miracle that Seokmin makes it to the day of your performance. His leg is bouncing up and down. His palms are sweating like crazy. He's been through Sectionals and Regionals, but he hadn't been this nervous in any of those contests.
Does it help that the two of you decided to color coordinate clothes? Seokmin isn't sure. The pair of you look like a couple now, which only seems to do more harm than good on his poor, poor heart.
At this point, all he can do is straighten out his checkered button down and hope he doesn't keel over mid-song.
"Ready?" you ask, your voice betraying no hint of your own nerves.
Seokmin shoots you a tight-lipped smile. "As I'll ever be," he lies.
Seungkwan works on queueing up the minus one. Mingyu not-so discreetly sets up his phone to film the whole thing. And Seokmin?
He takes one look at your face and decides that he may as well go out swinging.
The uptempo beats of the festive track ring through the room. Reactions to the choice are mixed. Some groan. Some cheer. Seokmin, once again, could care less what any of them feel or think. He has a plan, and he will see it through.
Your honeyed, dulcet tone effectively shuts up anyone who might've doubted the two of you.
I don't want a lot for Christmas, you croon. There is just one thing I need.
Seokmin is surprised that he manages to not melt on the spot. His fingers tighten a bit around his Bluetooth microphone, but he holds it together enough to join you.
I don't need to hang my stocking there upon the fireplace, he sings. Santa Claus won't make me happy with a toy on Christmas Day.
As the track goes on, some of Seokmin's nerves ease. Being around you has always been easy; his little plan doesn't change that. The two of you execute the duet with effortless chemistry, trading saccharine verses and middling dance steps like the two of you have been singing together for ages.
It exhilarates Seokmin, gives him just enough courage for what he's about to do.
The song is winding to a close. You're in a club room full of some of your closest friends, all of whom are watching you two like hawks. But with the way you're looking up at Seokmin, the way you're singing with him, to him, you might as well be the only two people in the whole world.
Make my wish come true, you belt out.
Oh, baby. Seokmin's heart is in his throat. He pushes on.
All I want for Christmas is—
He stutters. You blink up at him. Confused, concerned.
He says the word instead of singing it— the single, intentional choice carrying the weight of everything he has tried and failed to tell you so far.
"You."
