OS SPECIAL Valentine's day

[WINNER : NAMSONG]

OS – [ SONG MINHO x NAM TAEHYUN ]

OPEN YOUR HEART

A slender finger turns the ring on the left ring finger..a smooth white gold ring with no pattern. Move up to the tip of the finger before being pushed back to the base of the finger as before. This repeated over and over. Taehyun finally decided to take it off and place it on the table.

A shitty day... A shitty Valentine's Day. That will become his memory from now on. Every February 14th, he will definitely remember this day forever.

He lifted the glass containing the amber drink and drank it all in one go. Feeling hot in the throat He frowned after realizing that feeling, but it was not as painful as the pain in his heart right now.

He should be with his lover right now. Hidden under the blanket She was either under his body or on top of him. Let it be like last Valentine's Day. He hated seeing his lovers holding hands to show off to others. He hated handing each other a bouquet of flowers on just one day of the year. So they chose to spend time together in a room, just the two of them. All day..all night.. Well, love is about two people.

But this Valentine's Day is different.

The doorbell rang. Taehyun stood up from the sofa, lightly brushing his hair as he walked to open the door. She stood there.

'Come in'

'No, I'll be gone in just a moment.'

'Hm..' Taehyun raised his eyebrows. 'Aren't we going to stay here together today?'

'Not anymore,' she avoided his eyes. 'I'm coming to say goodbye.'

She put her hand in front of her face and held it out. The platinum ring he had given her lay on it.

'Let's break up.' She kept her head down.

'What.. why..' He was confused. How could this be possible? There was never the slightest sign of anything.

'I..don't have feelings for you anymore'

‘Why does it have to be today?’ The day he expected to be alone with her in the room.

'I am sorry'

He stared at the ring in her right hand before glancing at the left hand that was clenched tightly against her body. It's not empty. Taehyun reached out and grabbed his hand. She was still clenching her hand tightly, but he could clearly see another ring..an unfamiliar ring.

‘Whose?’ His voice was curt, causing the other party to tremble.

She mustered up the courage to pull her hand away from him. Finally, she allowed herself to look up and meet his eyes.

'I'm sorry, but you're too difficult to understand. I'm tired of trying for you.'

'So that person is easy to understand? Or just want to find something new?' He was so angry that he accidentally insulted the other party.

'At least he understands me better than you.' When he froze, the other party froze as well. Even though it's never been like this. In our stories there is always one side that is cool. To sustain the relationship

Taehyun raised his hand to smooth the hair that was falling over his face before moving his hand down to cover his eyes. 'Let's go,' he said, his hand still there. If he stared at her face any more, tears would probably fall down. Or I want to kill her.

She turned around and didn't even look back. He felt it.

He stepped back into the room. Swinging his arms, the door slammed shut..Bang!!

It's over. 3 years of love ended easily in less than half an hour.

He endured staying in the room all day. I'm irritated...but if I go outside, I have to meet an army of couples walking hand in hand. disgusting

He waited until the sky was completely dark before he picked up his coat and walked out of the room where there were only memories of that woman. Especially on Valentine's Day that we spend together every year.

He picked up the ring that was on the table and looked at it. He bought it on one weekday when he felt especially fond of her. Take her hand and lead her into the jewelry store. Just an ordinary day that turned into a special day.

An amber-colored drink glass was held in front of him. 'The gentleman at that table gave it to me.'

He turned and looked as the waiter said. A man..tall, dark skin, sharp eyebrows. Sparkling flirtatious eyes, beautiful high nose, pink lips shaped like chests.. Handsome, but he doesn't care.

He looked back at the glass. He let the platinum ring fall into the glass and flicked his hand, knocking it to the floor.

Broken glass! Drinks spread all over the floor..

He got up and put the money in his pocket and put it on the table. It was more than the cost of the entire drink he ordered. Many times more than the cost of broken glass.

He stepped over the rubble and walked out of the store. Leave everything behind including that man

A white figure in a cream-colored coat walked out of the shop door shortly after. But had to stop because of force from behind. His slender face looked down at the wrist that was being seized. It was a thick, dark hand that held it. He ran his eyes up until he could see the face of the owner of the hand.

Oh..the man who left that glass of liquor.

'Isn't that a bit too much to do?' the person asked in a dissatisfied tone.

‘So doing this is a little too much?’ He glanced at his wrist. Try twisting your wrist. But that hand wouldn't let go. Even tighter Until he stops trying

'What do you want'

'At least let's get to know each other. But this is not showing respect at all'

'Sigh..' He sighed, it seemed like the other party wasn't going to give up easily. If he's stubborn

'Nam Taehyun..are you satisfied yet?'

The other party looked surprised that he would tell him so easily. He tried twisting his hand again. That side gave up so easily that it was surprising enough. A sharp, smiling face

Taehyun started walking again and didn't look back. I don't think we'll meet again. Just say your name and you'll never find me.

Along the way, he heard a loud sound from the clock tower chiming midnight..The day was finally over.

Taehyun was sitting in front of the bar drinking. He often comes to drink alone. and comes more often when there is no lover

He circled the rim of the glass with his finger. Lift it up and sip it a little at a time. People might pass behind him. Stand and order some drinks. Or even sitting in the chair next to him and inviting him to talk, he wasn't interested. He only came to drink..drink alone.

The glass in front of him was empty. He raised his hand to call the bartender. Then he lifted the empty glass and shook it gently. The other party nodded in understanding.

Drink glass placed in front He reached for the money in his pocket.

'No, sir, that man at that table wants to treat you.'

Taehyun felt that the situation was familiar. He turned and looked at the bartender's instructions. It was a tall man with dark skin and sharp eyebrows. Sparkling flirtatious eyes, a beautiful, prominent nose, pink lips with a chest-shaped shape..the same person. The action is the same, the person raises their drink glass in greeting.

Taehyun turned to the bartender, 'One more glass'.

Soon a new drink was placed in front of him. He used his hand to move the free glass aside. Even though he hadn't even brought it to drink yet.

'Take this glass,' he ordered, handing over a note in his hand. Then he raised a new glass and drank.

The free glass has been taken away. The chair next to him was occupied. 'You don't show me your face anymore'

He already knew it had to be that man. 'I don't need to be in front of anyone,' he said, his eyes still fixed on the glass in his hand.

'Mr. Nam Tae Hyun How can I talk to you nicely?'

'Leave me alone'

The other person shrugged. Placing the business card on the table, he used two fingers to move it in front of Taehyun. 'At least let's keep it.'

The man got up and left. He glanced at the business card. Song Minho knew that should be enough. He left his business card there untouched. Pick up the drink and drink until the glass is full. He himself had to return home.

The same events happen again and again. But not often It happens at least once or twice a month. A glass of drink had to be placed in front of him.. from the same man, Song Min Ho, and he refused every time.

This time too. A drink glass was moved in front of him. Song Min Ho brought it to him, unlike the bartender's usual offerings.

Taehyun looked at the glass in front of him before turning to look at the person handing it to him. 'Please stop doing this'

'You're the one who should stop denying each other'

'What do you want'

'At least let's get to know each other'

'You already know me. I already told you your name'

'I mean, let me talk. Learn about your identity'

'You are too difficult to understand. I'm tired of trying for you.' The voice of his ex-lover echoed in Taehyun's head.

'I am a difficult person. Don't try to understand me.'

'Can you please not shut yourself up?' That voice sounded like a request.. He tried to just ignore the other person. One I met in a bar.

Taehyun got up from the table. Walk at a faster pace than normal. Leave that man alone.

Taehyun stopped going out to drink at the bar. No matter how much you pretend you don't care, that person doesn't stop trying. He chose not to allow the other party to do that again.

Taehyun's job doesn't have a limit on when he comes to work or when he leaves work. He is free from time constraints. Just him creating his work is enough. Furniture design is his job. So Taehyun spends most of his time in the studio. or small room which he divided from a large apartment that he himself had bought He's skilled enough.

There are enough fans and rich enough to pay for Nam Tae Hyun's work.

In fact, none of the customers had ever seen his face. All designs are produced and sold through agencies. He usually doesn't produce much. It's a limited edition. Rarity is the charm that makes everyone I want to own it so much that no matter how expensive it is, I'm willing to pay for it.

Today, he agrees to leave the studio during the day. Carrying a laptop, he walked to the coffee shop across from the condominium where he lived. The line was quite long because it was lunch time. When it was his turn, a green tea latte was handed out in front of him. Taehyun still didn't accept it and didn't care about it.

'Green tea latte is now available'

'But I haven't ordered it yet'

'Someone has already ordered it'

Events like this followed him into the daytime.

'He paid for it too, right?'

The employee smiled and said 'Yes'.

Taehyun had to take the green tea latte because there were many people in line behind him.

He chose to find a seat. Put the glass on the table and turn on the computer. To view orders from agencies While waiting for the machine to be ready to work, he picked up a glass of green tea and sucked it.

Someone sat down in the chair opposite. He knew without even looking up that it was Song Minho.

'Aren't you going to drink at the bar now?'

'I didn't plan on meeting you there. And I didn't expect to see you here.'

'It's a pity I found you everywhere.' The tone was a little irritating. He felt that the man was smiling.

'Get up and go, I'm going to work,' Taehyun dismissed.

'I took care to treat you to tea. Are you going to chase it away? You drank mine today.'

Taehyun felt like he missed the first flower. He solved the game by reaching into his pocket and placing money equal to the price of a drink in front of Song Minho.

'This tea is mine now. So you take the money and go.'

Minho snickered, his cheekbones rising. Your eyes still sparkle even if you don't drink alcohol. The tall figure stood up, picked up the money on the table and walked out of sight. He returned with a glass of ice Americano in hand.

'I assume you've treated me to a cup of coffee.'

Taehyun missed the second one.

‘How do you stop bothering me?’ Taehyun asked, furrowing his brow. It makes the tips of the eyebrows droop so cutely. Minho thought it was cute and at least Taehyun didn't act so blank like when they met in the bar.

'Open your heart. Get to know me'

'For what'

'At least we'll be friends'

'I don't want to have more friends. More importantly, I don't want to have friends who are stockers.' Taehyun was sure that the other person was stalking him. Because otherwise, how will we meet often?

'I'm not a stocker. If you open your mind a little Raise your head. You will know that this is my shop. And I often see you walking in and out there.’ Minho points to the condo across the street. his address

Taehyun missed the third flower.

He pursed his lips tightly. He glanced at the person in front of him. He finally decided to take his hands off the computer and crossed his arms over his chest.

'Alright, Song Minho-ssi, do you realize that you might prevent me from stepping out of the room or moving away?'

'I know you can do that. But if you close the door and lock yourself in the room I'll go up and knock on your door. Or if you move away I might move shops as well.'

Taehyun couldn't help but let out a smile. 'You're so persistent'

'You're so stubborn. Did you know that I've been flirting with you all year? Even though I haven't succeeded yet, today I saw you smile.'

'Are you flirting with me?'

'That's right..everybody will follow other people. One goes here. And let's treat each other to drinks.'

'Don't flirt with me. I'm not suitable to be anyone's lover.' As he spoke, Taehyun no longer had a smile on his face. He went back into closed-door mode.

Minho, too. What he had to say was too serious to say with a smile on his face. 'I know that the day I first met you You may have come across something. It might hurt your feelings. But your suffering that day made me want to make you smile.'

'Don't try. If you try very hard And one day, when you're tired, you'll go.' Taehyun's eyes flashed with pain.

'Don't compare me to anyone. I can make you smile without even trying.’ Those words didn't put Taehyun at ease. Instead, he wanted to escape from there.

Taehyun closed his eyes. He didn't want to meet this man's eyes. It has a certain charm to it and it is scary too. He may not be afraid of the other party's efforts. But he's afraid that if he loves, he'll get hurt.

The more you love, the more it hurts, right?

Taehyun turned off the computer. Fold the screen up, put it in your bag, and get up and run away again like you've always done.

Minho didn't follow. Today he had enough offense on the other side.

Today is New Year's Eve. He has no hometown to return to. His parents separated and his mother lived abroad. He was used to being alone. On days like this, he didn't want to go anywhere.

R..R..R..

The phone rings. It's a call from an agency.

'Yes, Nam Taehyun said.'

'Taehyun, we have a problem. A customer called and complained that the sofa he ordered was broken. Even though I just received the item and used it less than a week ago'

'How is that possible? Every product passes

QC

Well, it won't break that easily.'

'I told him so. But he refused'

'You send him a new one. I will take care of the transportation expenses myself.'

'I already offered. Customers keep saying that the new one will break just like the old one anyway. And..he'll just ask to talk to you.' That last sentence was soft.

Taehyun holds his temples. He doesn't want to go out. But that work is responsibility. It's his reputation. If word of mouth spreads that the product is of poor quality The business is over. And his career as a designer would probably be ruined as well.

'Taehyun...' the other end of the line called after seeing him silent for a long time.

‘Tell him I agree, set an appointment.’’

'He asked for your number'

'Then let it go'

'Okay, that's it for now. Someone will probably contact you soon.'

The call ended and Taehyun walked around like a rat, waiting for the next call to come. He was so stressed that he accidentally bit his nails.

R..R..R…

Taehyun answered the phone quickly.

'Hello, I'm Nam Tae Hyun.'

'Hello, I am a customer who ordered your sofa and it broke.'

'Yes, how do you make me pay for it? May I go and see that product? Why did it break?'

'Let me see you now. I'll show you a picture'

'Are you going to let me meet you now? It's already 10:30 p.m.'

'Are you going to shirk responsibility? It took a few days for it to break. But you're going to make me wait this long to fix it.'

Taehyun sighed. 'Where do you want me to meet?'

'Where are you better?'

'I live in a condo.

xx

Gangnam District'

'Okay, I know a nearby coffee shop. Come down and meet me there.'

Taehyun's heart skipped a beat. A customer makes an appointment at Song Min Ho's shop. But there was no choice. That's the closest place. 'Yes,' he answered.

Taehyun came down to Song Minho's shop 15 minutes later. He had already been waiting for customers for a while. Green tea latte was in front of us and was free as usual. along with the shop owner sitting in front of him

Today the shop was bustling with people coming out to celebrate. The atmosphere in the shop is fun with the decorations and bright red aprons of the employees. On each head is a conical hat. So is the shop owner.

'I'm waiting for my customer. Aren't you working? People packed the shop'

'You are my customer too. A very special customer.' A bright smile spread across his sharp face.

'Eat your subordinates', Taehyun said.

'I paid him extra money today.'

'Of course, today you have to pay a lot. Because he has to work on holidays.'

'And will you get more money today? Come sit and wait for customers like this'

'It's probably going to cost you more money. I might have to give him more than one free piece of furniture as a consolation.'

‘And keep your mouth shut?’ Minho continued.

Taehyun's eyes widened and he raised his index finger to kiss his mouth. 'You say this and it hurts me.'

Minho laughed at that gesture. Taehyun gets cuter every time we meet.

‘Why haven't you come yet?’ Taehyun held up his watch and looked at it. before picking up the phone and dialing the customer

'You phone first. I have to go to work first.’ Minho quickly stood up and pointed at the counter. There was an employee beckoning to him.

Taehyun nodded. The phone is still attached to your ear.

'What should I do? He called.' Minho's subordinate handed him the phone.

'You take it and tell him you're not coming.'

'Oh, if I tell you like that, he'll come back.'

'Oh, I'll find a way to hold it myself'

'Hello,' the boy accepted the call.

'Hello, I'm Nam Taehyun. Where are you now?'

'I probably won't go'

'Oh, why?'

'I..I.. uh..' A look of help came to Minho.

'Why?'

Minho wrote on a piece of paper and handed it to his subordinate.

'I misunderstood. Your sofa isn't broken. It's another person in the house.'

‘But it looks like this shop is about to collapse.’ Taehyun's voice rang out in two ways. That is, from the phone and from the person standing nearby.

The two bosses and subordinates were startled and quickly hung up the phone and stood calmly in front of Taehyun.

‘Is it fun?’ Taehyun's voice sounded scary. Minho shook his head.

Taehyun looked at the two of them for a moment before turning around to get his things from the table and walking out of the shop.

'Don't go yet'

'Do you want me to stay and make you laugh at me for looking like a fool?'

'Not at all. I just want you to get out of the room. I haven't seen you in several days. And today is a special day'

'I don't like places with a lot of people'

Minho's strong hand reached out and grabbed Taehyun's slender hand. He pulled a figure to follow him to the condo. Take the elevator up to the top floor.

'How did you get in here? We use a fingerprint scanner here.

'If you pay attention a little, you will know that besides me owning a coffee shop across the street. I'm here as well as you,' Minho explained with a soft expression on his face.

Taehyun bit his lip and remained silent the entire time the elevator moved.

The elevator opened and the strong hand that was still holding him didn't let go, pulling hard for Taehyun to follow.

'Now I don't have to meet a lot of people, right?'

Taehyun looked around. This place is like a big lawn. The grass is trimmed and neatly taken care of. But there was no one up here except the two of them. Unfortunately, he never knew it existed.

‘You look up at the sky,’ Taehyun complied.

‘5..4..3..2...1...’ Colorful fireworks filled the sky. Taehyun's eyes widened with interest. Minho wasn't looking at the sky. But he looked at Taehyun's face. The thick hand holding the slender white hand tightened.

‘Is she beautiful?’ Minho asked.

'Um..' The voice answered softly. Taehyun's eyes were still looking at the sky.

Minho smiled widely. 'Have you stopped being angry at me yet?'

'Don't hope'

'You can't hope. Just because you're angry, I'm happy. It means I'm becoming important enough to make you angry.'

Taehyun wrinkled his nose at that thought.

'Open your heart to me'

'No..' Taehyun's mouth refused. But the hand that Minho held didn't move.

'It's okay..today just let me know that I love you'

Taehyun felt the temperature on his face rise. In my heart I felt warmth. But I'm still afraid.

'It's a new year, let's start over. I will wait for the day you open up'

Taehyun didn't deny, 'The fireworks are gone. I'm going back to my room. Thank you for taking me to see'

Taehyun pulled his hand away and walked away. Once again, he left Minho behind.

From that day Minho calls Taehyun almost every day. Some days they knock on the door and bring out green tea lattes and snacks. He needed to be open to it. From just standing and delivering things in front of the room Moved to delivery to the kitchen Finally, they came in and sat down to eat together on the sofa.

'Are you going to stay here long? Eat all your snacks and go back to work.'

'I'd like to sleep here during the day'

'No..' The rejection from Taehyun's mouth was what Minho heard most often from the first day we met until today.

'It's Valentine's Day tomorrow. What do you want?'

'I don't want...I want to be quiet and alone'

'Then I'm here alone as a friend'

'I said I wanted to be alone. I don't want friends to stay with me'

'Then I can't come and stay as friends. But..I want to stay as your girlfriend'

Taehyun's eyes flickered again. Taehyun allowed Minho to get closer. But when something like this is mentioned? Taehyun always seems to take at least one step back.

Minho sat up straight. Then he turned Taehyun around to face him.

'You can let the past go. The me in front of you right now loves you just the way you are. Didn't try to love I will create new memories for you. Tomorrow will be one year since we met. Other matters are not important. Let it be our first day, that's enough'

Minho's eyes were steady. If it were this person, would it be okay?

'I don't promise how long we'll have to love each other. But I will make this present a happy one. If we do well today, we will not regret it. Today I love you I will say I love you. If I'm angry tomorrow, I'll say I'm angry. There's no need to try to guess.'

'Now..can you open your heart yet?'

‘Um.’ What Minho heard was no longer a denial.

'Then I won't go back to the shop today. I'll stay here with you until tomorrow.'

Taehyun woke up on the morning of Valentine's Day. Beside him lay Song Minho. There are no gifts. There's just two people spending time together alone. Sometimes he would be on top of Minho's body. Sometimes you have to moan under the other person's body.

It was the kind of Valentine Taehyun was used to. And he wants it to continue like this every year..with Song Minho.
