25th of December ended with Minseul's hand in Jisung's as they took a stroll down the snowy road. It was dark and it was quiet, but everything was perfect. There was no one else besides the two of them, and they were thankful of that.

Minseul shivered when the winter breeze blew as Jisung chuckled and gave her a warm hug. Her cheeks heated up, and she instantly felt warmer.

"Why you so cute?"

Jisung pulled away and pinched her cheeks as Minseul pouted. She slapped Jisung's hand lightly.

"Ew, you're so cringey."

Minseul commented, but the huge smile on her face contradicted her words.

Jisung held Minseul's hands like they're made of glass, fragile.

"I'm sorry."

Minseul raised an eyebrow, prompting him to go on.

"Sorry for leaving you for Yujin, sorry for abandoning you, sorry for-"

Jisung stopped when Minseul gave him a warm hug and patted his back, her chin resting on his shoulder.

"Its okay, it's all in the past."

Jisung didn't know what he did to deserve someone like Minseul, someone who decided to forgive him and love him even though he abandoned her.

He hugged her back tightly, he checked his watch and grin. Just before the minute hand hit twelve, he whispered and a soft and gentle voice.

"Merry Christmas, sweetheart. You're the greatest present I could ever ask for. "
