    Summary

    “Don’t tell me,” Hanbin starts, his eyes glancing at the numerous little folded papers scattered on the table between the two of them. “That all of these are confession letters you received, and you never realized?”

    alternatively,

    Hanbin finds out practically everyone in this university has a crush on his boyfriend, and some have confessed to him without either of their knowledge.

    Summary

    With all pretenses gone their conversation turns a bit awkward. Stale. Nervously Hao drums his fingers on the counter to a rhythm — then, horrified, realizes it’s to the beat of ”Last Christmas” on the radio and stops — and waits for Hanbin to say something else or to leave, but his eyes are peering curiously at Hao’s head.

    Hao shrinks back with his gaze. “Is there…something else?”

    Hanbin looks at him for a bit longer, then says, “I like your ears.”

    Hao blinks at him. “My — what?”

    He frowns and grabs at one of his lobes, wondering if this is some weird joke, when Hanbin points a finger at the top of his own head. When Hao reaches blindly above him he expects air, but his fingers meet soft, rounded felt.

    Oh. Oh no. He forgot about the antlers.

    Or: Zhang Hao and the horrors of working a minimum wage job, falling on ice, and falling in love.

    Summary

    In hindsight, Hanbin didn't know what took him so long to plan to do this. It's been 3 years since they met, and even then, even after the first moment he laid eyes on Hao, he knew that they were meant to spend the rest of their lives together. And today, right at the same annual party they met at, it was time: he was going to ask the question. His approach might've been…a little out of the box but he just wanted everything to be perfect for the one person that, to him, was the closest to perfection. So, despite his friends' judgement and complaints, they all helped Hanbin plan for months what would be a night to remember. And with that amount of planning, obviously nothing’s gonna go wrong…right?
