it was christmas, and areum was beyond excited. she loved christmas and she couldn't wait for jeno, sungchan, and jisung to come over. she texted jaemin a quick merry christmas, as she did chenle, shotaro, renjun, and yangyang.

she hopped out of bed, and practically ran to donghyuck's room. "donghyuck! donghyuck! oppa, wake up!" she squealed, jumping on his bed to wake him up. he woke up and glared at his sister, "what?"

she laid down beside him and smiled, making his lips pull up into a small smile naturally, "what?" he asked in a softer tone, waking up a bit and areum just smiled more, "it's christmas!"

donghyuck found himself hyping up, like areum, and running to the bottom of the stairs. they go outside to see if it was snowing, and it was. "hyuck! it's snowing!" areum squealed like a little girl and he nodded, "i see."

areum ran to jisung's house and threw snowballs at his window for him to open it. "areum, i will- oh my god it's snowing!" he squealed, making areum and donghyuck laugh. they went to jeno's house, which was two houses beside chenle's house and did the same to him.

"jeno ya!" areum shouted, trying to get his attention. he appeared at his window with anger, "is there a reason you three are throwing snowballs at my window at like eight a.m- wait it's snowing! i'm coming out!" jeno shouted, immediately forgetting his anger.

"should we go get sungchan? he lives only a street over." jeno asked as the four grouped up in the middle of the street. they all agreed and raced each other to sungchan's house.

"it's not fair! you all have long legs!" areum pouted and they all laughed. they began to throw snowballs at sungchan's window, only for donghyuck to be hit by one in the arm. they looked around and spotted sungchan, on his roof, throwing snowballs at them.

"ya! sungchan ah! come down!" areum said but sungchan jus threw more snowballs. they all laughed and sungchan finally came down. suddenly, the door opened, and it was a tall, handsome guy. "who's that?" jisung asked sungchan and sungchan shrugged, "my brother, jaehyun."

"hyung! come here!" sungchan called and jaehyun walked over to the group. "hey, i'm jaehyun. merry christmas." he didn't notice areum at first but when he did, he instantly took interest in her.

"i'm donghyuck. this is is jeno, jisung, and my sister areum."

areum and jaehyun locked eyes, the boys noticed and pushed areum away. "we're going to get going now! nice meeting you, jaehyuck! merry christmas!" donghyuck said and jaehyun chuckled, "it's jaehyun. nice meeting you guys, too."

"areum, you're not allowed to fall in love with my brother." sungchan said as areum struggled to get on his back. donghyuck ended up helping her and she rolled her eyes, "i'm already in love."

"areum! he's four years older than you. i won't allow it." donghyuck said and they all laughed.

"but he's pretty!"

"i don't care."

"ji, tell hyuck that jaehyun is pretty."

"no."

"but jis-"

"no."
