It was the last day of school before the Christmas break. You were sitting on the floor, along with the rest of your classmates waiting to receive your gift from your Secret Santa. Luckily, the person you were giving a gift to wasn’t that hard to find. In fact, she was sitting right next to you! You handed the present over to your best friend and watched her squeal as she opened it. In the package there were albums of her favourite K-pop groups, as well as a photo album filled with memories that the both of you have made over the past years. You looked around the classroom and it seemed like everyone had already found their Secret Santa, except you. You were the only one that hasn’t received a gift and you felt embarrassed.
"Did everyone find their Secret Santa?" The teacher’s voice boomed across the room. He continued, "Raise your hand if you haven’t received a gift yet!"
Slowly and reluctantly, you raised your hand in the air. The classroom was filled with chatter as they tried to look for your Santa. One of your classmates, Chen suddenly stood on the table and shouted, “Teacher! Her Santa is Baekhyun!”
You gulped nervously. Baekhyun?! Your Secret Santa was Baekhyun?! Since middle school, you’ve always liked him. Heck, you purposely went to the same high school just so you could see him! Slowly dying inside, you glanced up at him. You saw his eyes widen and immediately thought that he forgot about you. Of course he would forget! You were nothing to him. He’s never noticed you.
Baekhyun choked on the bubble tea he got from Sehun. He totally forgot to find you! He was too busy lounging around the class and snooping at his friends’ gifts. Sehun nudged Baekhyun with his elbow as a sign for him to give your present.
The room was filled with silence. Nobody was talking as they curiously watched Baekhyun walk swiftly towards you, handing over your long awaited present. He wasn’t sure if you’d like it and was feeling nervous. The truth is that he secretly likes you too. Baekhyun was beyond happy when he found out you were attending the same high school and same class as him! He wanted to be your Secret Santa and managed to track down who had the piece of paper with your name written on it. It turned out that Chen had it.
You hesitated before opening it. You wondered what was inside. It felt like there was a feather inside! Was it a letter? No, it can’t be! A gift voucher? You were in the midst of thinking, then Baekhyun announced, “All of you would be surprised, really!”
Slowly and gently, you opened the dainty little box and gasped when you saw what was inside. Shocking everyone in class, your best friend shouted “What? There’s another box inside?!” Yes, another box. You didn’t expect that!
The classroom was then filled with laughter as you heard someone say, “Next thing you know there might be 10 of those inside!” Baekhyun denied, “No! Something very surprising is going to be inside!”
Thinking that another box was inside, you lifted the lid of the smaller box and saw something you didn’t expect yet again! You silently muttered an “Oh.” You were really speechless. Chen teased, “Yahhh Baekhyunnie~ Is that a ring in the final box?”
Baekhyun stands up and says cutely, “My photo~”
Everyone was surprised at his outburst. You could hear choruses of, “What is that?” “How cheap!” “Ah, as expected from the class clown!”
The teacher asked, “So does that mean you kept the $20 and gave her your photo instead?”
He replied, “Yeah it’s in my pocket right now..” Baekhyun smiled and made eye contact with you. He continued, “You should read my message!” You looked at the polaroid picture and read the message aloud “Am I pretty? Im yours now~”
You were speechless. Really embarrassed. And you thought he bought you something nice? Unbelievable. You asked yourself, “Do I really like this guy?” You even heard him brag to his friends, “Yah! That’s what you call a real gift!”
You were nearly out of the school gates when you heard someone shout your name. Turning your head back, you saw that Baekhyun was trying to catch up with you.
"May I walk you home?" He asked. You weren’t in a good mood and didn’t feel like talking to him. Baekhyun grabbed your hand which stopped you from walking away from him. "Look, I’m sorry that I embarrassed you in class today. The truth is that I lost the money.."
Baekhyun looked at you sadly and asked, “You don’t believe me?” There was no response from you so he began to walk away.
"Wait…" You asked, "how did you lose the money?" Baekhyun stopped and jogged back towards you. He began to stutter, "Uhh W-well, I kind of had to bribe Chen… He was supposed to be your Secret Santa, but I wanted to be yours…"
"Why would you do that?" You asked. Baekhyun replied a little too fast, "Because I like you!" Taken aback by his sudden confession, it took you awhile to confess your feelings for him. You blushed and cutely said, "I’m yours now~"
Baekhyun chuckled and grabbed your hand, linking your fingers together as he says, “Let’s go, I’ll buy you a real gift!”
