~Rin's POV~

Yoona, AJ, and I arrived at the Seventeen dorm and knocked, only to be greeted by Hoshi.

"Hey girls." He smiled. "Come in."

We walked in and greeted Hoshi, greeting everyone else afterwards. The three of us messed with the birthday boy, Woozi for a little bit before I noticed somebody enjoying the outdoors while reading a book. My lips unintentionally formed a smile as I made my way outside. Hearing the door open and close, Wonwoo looked up. He saw me and put his book down.

"You don't have to stop." I snickered, taking a seat beside him.

"It's fine." He muttered awkwardly.

I saw the awkwardness and sighed. I was getting tired of it after all these years.

"Wonwoo." I spoke. "Why are you awkward around me?"

I saw his eyes widen. He looked for words to say.

"Even with our past, it doesn't make sense to me."

His eyes widened even more and he looked at me.

"I thought you didn't like talking about your past." Wonwoo replied.

"I don't." I shrugged. "But if it'll help us get through our funk, then I'm willing."

Wonwoo looked down. I could tell he was thinking hard.

"I guess I'm so awkward around you because you wanted to pretend like we don't have a past, like the two of us didn't know each other, like our whole lives didn't mean anything."

My eyes widened at his response. "Wonwoo, that's not what I meant. I don't like talking about my past, especially the time I spent living with you, because it was hard times for me. It has nothing to do with you."

"I know." He sighed. "I just miss our childhood when we didn't care about anything."

I snickered. "Those were good times, huh?"

He scoffed. "Yes they were."

"Well, I'm sorry I made you feel that way." I spoke. "But I promise it has nothing to do with you. I know we kind of started to fade apart as I moved to Pinky but I don't want our childhood friendship to fade anymore."

Wonwoo smiled. "I would like that too."

I smiled back. "Great. So no more awkward moments?"

He snickered. "I'll be as awkward as I was when we were kids."

I snickered, thinking about our old memories. The two of us sat there, chatting about our old memories from when we were kids. Although I don't like my past, I do like one part of it. And that is Wonwoo.

~Gaeul's POV~

We were in the middle of recording our Christmas song for the Pinky Entertainment Christmas album. Yoona was recording her parts when I suddenly got an idea in my head.

A christmas scenario! What happens when you find your Christmas lover cheating on you?

I started to come up with different scenarios in my head. How would they die? Where at? It was exciting and I felt myself smiling. Suddenly...
