The lights on the outside of the apartment window were reflecting off of the dozens of snowflakes falling gracefully from the sky. The white specks stood out greatly against the darkening outdoors. The sky fading from a deep pink to a gray-toned dark blue. Mingyu pressed his forehead against the big window to see the snowflakes better against the bright city lights.

"What are you looking at" a voice called, Mingyu however didn't need to turn around to tell that it was Jihoon who was calling him from the sofa. Mingyu walked by him on his way from his room to the window. He was sitting on the sofa playing a game on his phone – Mingyu could hear him tapping from the other side of the room.

"It's really pretty outside... with all the Christmas lights and all" Mingyu said, not a trace of a lie in his words. It truly was a spectacle outside. As Mingyu and the boys all lived in a dorm in the heart of Seoul, they were constantly surrounded by lights, but this time of year always meant different lights. Instead of the basic whites and yellows from the streetlights, the sides of the road were adorned with red and green lights for the holiday season. There were little trees that were decorated, people decorated their balconies on the nearby apartment buildings, hell – people even decorated the trash bins on the side of the road.

The feeling of Christmas has always left Mingyu feeling nostalgic, it reminded him of home.

"Hm, I guess you're right" Jihoon replied, and Mingyu could see in the reflection of the mirror that he looked up slightly from his phone to see what Mingyu was so astonished by.

"We should get a tree" Mingyu said, peeling his eyes away from the sight to look at Jihoon.

"We already have a tree" came a new voice walking into the room and sitting themselves on the couch opposite from Jihoon.

"Vernon you cannot tell me this counts as a tree" Mingyu said, gesturing to the 'tree' in the corner of the living room, but in all actuality it was more of a decorated bush than anything. The bush was actually there year-round but one day Seungkwan decided to decorate it for Halloween and declared it the seasonal plant, decorating it for every holiday. To be fair, Seungkwan did a good job with the decorations but the bush was barely taller than Mingyu's waist.

"Sure it looks kinda terrible, but it's the best we got". Vernon pulled up the hoodie on his light blue sweater to cover his brown hair, and promptly screamed when an unknown figure came up from behind him and pulled the drawstrings, causing the hood to contract around his face.

It was Seungkwan.

"Don't insult me or my tree ever again. I bought an amazing mistletoe at the dollar store last weekend and I'm going to put it on top as the star... a star of love" he said, half-serious half-joking, slapped Vernon's head, then walked into the kitchen.

Jihoon and Mingyu chuckled at the interaction, then Mingyu's eyes were drawn back outside.

"I want to see a real tree. A real Christmas tree" Mingyu said, fiddling with the short sleeves on his black t-shirt. He abruptly stopped his actions when an idea seemingly came to his mind.

"Can we go to the Christmas market?" he said, then realized it was a better idea when it was said out loud. "It's Christmas eve! We have to go!" Mingyu said, now excited.
