"FIGHTING!" the girls cheer while put their hands together. It is the day they will perform on annual New Year concert. They will perform 3 songs later

"Girls, your turn will start soon" the staff said

"Okay"

They go out of the waiting room to the backstage with nervous yet excited heart

"Girls, it's your turn. Do well" their managers pump fist

"Okay oppa" they said and get ready to perform

Their performance was end successfully as expected. Everyone run back to the backstage happily

"Good job guys!" one of their managers said

"Thanks unnie"

"Let's go to your waiting room"

"Let's go"

Along the way to their room, they greet the fellow celebrities who also perform at the concert

"Ouchh, I'm tired" Wendy slump her body on the chair "My feet numb too"

"Me too" said Irene while massaging her ankle

"I'm hungry" Joy whining

"Me too" Yeri added caressing her tummy

"I don't know when both of you are not hungry" Seulgi pinch their cheeks

"After you treat us food" they smirk devilishly

"No such things" Seulgi glare at them

"I want to drink bubble tea" Wendy pouting

"Aigooo this bubble tea freak" Irene slap Wendy arm lightly

The door suddenly opened showing their manager come inside holding a plastic bag

"Wendy, this is for you" he gives the plastic bag to Wendy

"What is this oppa?"

"I don't know"

Wendy quickly checking what is inside and it is a cup of her favorite bubble tea that she said just now. The members start surrounding her to know what she just got

"Unnie, what is that?" Yeri asking

"Bubble tea?" Wendy read the label at the cup "Oppa, who give you this?"

"A security at the entrance call me just now, he said someone want to meet you so I check who is that"

"Is that a guy?"

"Yes, a man he gave that to me because he can't enter this place"

"He wears leather jacket, tall, white skin and jet black hair"

"Yup"

"And he wears black watch on his left wrist and on his right is silver men bracelet"

"Yup"

Wendy eyes turn round because she know that drink is from Ayden "Is he still there?"

"I don't know, maybe security chase him out already"

"Oh gosh, I really need to talk with that security" she said and run out of the room

"Aigooo, Wendy describes her man well" Irene and the girl chuckle

"I guess she really in love. She never care about man except his father" Seulgi said

Wendy sprint to the entrance while holding the bubble tea on her hand. She saw the security stand outside and she run towards him

"Excuse me Mr. Security"

"Yes Ms. Wendy"

"Is that you who talk with someone that want to meet with me just now?" Wendy still ask politely

"Oh yes, he said he want to come in but we just can let the staff to enter"

"Where is him now? Is he leaving already?"

The security looked to his left and pointed at someone who stand leaning against the wall while his hands inside his jacket pocket

"There he is" the security pointed at Ayden

"Oh, thanks"

"Okay"

Wendy run down the stair and goes to Ayden. That guy noticed her and he playfully open his arm wide like he waiting for Wendy to come to his embrace

"Yah, stop playing around" Wendy punch Ayden arm lightly

"Ouchh Wendy, is this how you greet me?"

"Why are you here?" Wendy ignore the question just now

"I come to give you bubble tea to cheer you up but they don't let me enter because I don't have entrance pass" Ayden sighs disappointedly

"You should call me first so that I can wait for you here"

"I want to surprise you"

"Ayy, it's not good time for surprise. It will just create hit news tomorrow"

"Sorry" Ayden look down to his shoes

"It's okay and thanks for this"

"You're welcome" Ayden give thumb up "Are you performed already?"

"Yes, we just done perform when my manager give this to me"

"Are you tired?"

"Of course and my feet feel numb"

"Poor thing"

"If you want to come again, make sure you wear mask or something, alright?"

"Noted ma'am"

"I have to go in now. My members waiting for me"

"Let me walk you to the door"

"Okay"

Ayden noticed that Wendy can't walk properly "Your legs, is it that hurt?"

"A little bit"

"Go home with me later. I have leg massager at home" Ayden stated

"Aaron, it fine. It will be good tomorrow. This is just because I'm tired"

"No, I insist. I will pick you up when you finish later. I not take no as an answer"

"It still too long before the concert end"

"How long?"

"Around 3 hours to go"

"I will go out with Eric then we will come to pick you"

After Wendy walk inside, Ayden go to his car and leave the place to meet with Eric. Wendy walk lazily to the waiting room while sipping her drink. She greeted by her best friend who teasing each other and they stop when they saw Wendy coming

"You owe us lot of explanations" Irene said after they sit on the chair. It just 5 of them in the room without their managers or stylist

"I know unnie and I'm really sorry for not open up about what's going on lately"

"So it's right time to tell us"

"Yeah, I plan to do it too" the 4 girls looked excited to hear what Wendy going to say later "His name is Ayden Samuel from Canada, a year older than me. I meet him when Seulgi and I go to art exhibition. He comes approach me and we exchange number. First time we go out is few weeks ago. It's him who buy pizza for us and the muffin that I give to my friend is for him"

"You're away when we have 3 days off, you go to his place?" Seulgi ask

"Yes, he offer me to stay with him to rest" the girls looked shock "Throw away your dirty mind; we're not doing something stupid. He is man with manner and never once touching me"

"Ayyy unnie, you so disappointing" Joy groan while the others giggle

"Yah, are you expect some weird things?" Wendy slapped Joy shoulder

"Practically"

"Are you and him an item?" Irene ask

"No, we're just close friend"

"She disappoint us again" Yeri said

"We really thought you're end your single title" Seulgi added

"No, we never talk about that thing. It's true that he also single but you know, I not look forward for any kind of relationship now" the girls just nodded

"When you going to introduce him to us?"

"Seulgi is right, we want to know him too" Irene said

"I will talk with him later. He introduced me to his best friend so I have to do the same too"

"Unnie, is his friend handsome?" Yeri eyes turn bright

"You can ask him when you meet him"

"Okay, I will" Yeri said energetically

"Yerim" Joy fake cough while pointing at Irene who glare at their maknae

"You're not allow to date anyone until I give you permission" said Irene

"Sorry mom" Yeri laughed evilly

"Come here, I will hit your butt to knock some sense to you"

"No, I don't want"

"Will hit you later at home" Yeri stuck her tongue out at Irene

"Guys, I not go back to our dorm tonight" Wendy stated make her members looking at her again

"You will go to his place?" Joy ask

"Yes, he will pick me up later"

"Just don't do anything stupid" Irene remind as the leader

"Okay unnie"

After the concert end, Red Velvet members change their outfit to casual clothes. The other celebrity start leaving the place and they are the last one to go since they not rushing anything

"Are you done girls?" Irene fixing her hair

"Yes unnie"

"Let's go out"

"Alright" they leave the room after make sure nothing left inside. They carry their own bag to the entrance where their manager waiting for them

"Unnie, where is your ride?" Joy noticed that no other car parked there except their van

"He is on the way" said Wendy

"Is that him?" Seulgi pointed at the car that coming towards them

"Yes, that is him"

Ayden park his car at the other side "He park his car quite far" said Joy

"Is he coming here unnie?" Yeri excitedly

"I don't know. Let see once he stop the car" Wendy waiting for Ayden to stop his car. The car stop but Ayden still inside so Wendy think he is not coming out "Guess I will just go to that car. He not comes here"

"Aigooo"

"Got to go now"

"Alright, take care" they said together

"You all too" Wendy waving while walk slowly to the car

The driver door suddenly open revealing Ayden wearing mask and cap "Omo, that is him" Irene pointed at the guy who quickly walking to Wendy. They stop at the sidewalk. After talking for a while, Wendy gives her bags to Ayden and he carries it for her

"Omo, so sweet" they squeal like a fans watching their celebrity couple

"She is so lucky" said Seulgi

When the couple reached the car, a guy got out of passenger seat and greets Wendy cheerfully. Wendy also looked happy seeing him then he hop in to back seat while Wendy take his place at the front seat

Red Velvet members also leave after Ayden car leave the place

........................

Ayden and Wendy rest at living room while Wendy using leg massager and Ayden sit on the couch watching TV. Both of them talk about random topic and sometimes joking

"Hey, it's 12 already. Happy new year, Wen" Ayden smile gently and stare at Wendy

"Happy new year Aaron" Wendy turn shy by the stare

"Thanks for spending your night with me even you're busy and tired"

"You know that I can't turn you down, right?"

"Yup that's why I'm thankful. I hope we can spend lot of time together"

"Yeah" Wendy giggle awkwardly

"Wen"

"Emm?"

Ayden suddenly move his face close to Wendy and peck her cheek. It is first time he's being bold toward her. It takes too much to gain confident to kiss her

Wendy is still in shock state by the kiss. She not moving or say anything. Ayden feel guilty because of his boldness

"Wen, I'm sorry" he apologized

"W-Why?" Wendy stutter

"For kissing you, I don't mean to make you shock"

"No need to apologize, I'm okay"

"But you look like you not happy with that"

"I just shock because I never get a kiss from a man"

"Oh" Ayden chuckle silently "So you don't mind that kiss"

"I don't mind"

"Can I kiss you more after this?"

"Just on cheek when no one around. Don't dare to do it on public or when someone with us"

"Not a big deal" Ayden wink as he get a green light "Kiss me" he puff his cheek and tapping it with his finger

"No" Wendy face flushed

"Come on, I kiss you already so you should do too"

"I don't want"

"Wen please"

"No"

"Okay, if you don't want I will kiss your lips"

"Yah, you can't do that" Wendy yelled

"So kiss me now"

"Aishh" Wendy lean forward hesitantly and kiss Ayden cheek

"That's it. I feel like I want more" Ayden joking

"No more, that's all for tonight"

"I will kiss you good morning, at night before sleep, when we meet, before we part way and casually when I want to"

"I know you will not take no as answer"

"You're right" Ayden laughed

"Stop laughing. We should sleep. I'm tired" Wendy turned off the massager

"Okay ma'am"

Ayden walk Wendy to her bedroom. Before Wendy entered the room, he pulled her on her wrist and engulfed her to a hug. Wendy really shock by the sudden action and her heart beat crazily but she not push him away. She feels comfortable in his embrace

"Hey, is everything okay?" Wendy ask softly

"Everything okay, don't worry"

"I thought you have problem when you suddenly hug me"

"I just miss you" Ayden tighten his hug "I'm sorry if you not comfortable but I can't help it"

"Don't be sorry, I'm fine" Wendy pats Ayden back softly

"Thank you for let me step into your life and for being there whenever I need you"

"You make me comfortable around you that why I lower my guard for you. I trust you so much"

"Let start New Year together and go through it together"

"Sure" Wendy nods her head

Ayden break the hug and flashing sweet smile that always melting Wendy heart "Goodnight babe"

"Babe?"

"Yup, your new nickname"

Wendy laugh lightly "Okay babe"

"Have good rest and sleep tight"

"You too"

"Let me kiss you again" Ayden wrapped his arm around Wendy waist and kiss her both cheek then on her forehead

Wendy hand on Ayden arm then she tiptoe to kiss his cheeks "You so tall" she complain after that

"That is not my fault. Blame my mom"

"Silly" Wendy pinch Ayden arm "Go sleep now"

"Okay"

"Goodnight"

"Yup, goodnight"
