The white magical atmosphere started to envelop the town with mystical carols and music from different homes.

A blissful morning where fellow begins to prepare for the awaited evening, celebrating the jolly merry event that only happens once a year.

⇝ DECEMBER 24 ⇜

"Thank you for coming all the way here, Auntie, Uncle"

A 38-year old woman and the 39-year old man stepped foot into the mansion of the (your last name)'s to have lunch with the said family.

"Oh, we should thank you for inviting us, Y/n-chan", Mr. Takizaki chuckled as he placed a bag of wrapped gifts under the tall white Christmas tree at the corner of the living room.

Nica's parents traveled all the way from their hometown to Tokyo after they were invited by Y/n's family to celebrate Christmas eve with them.

"That's no biggie, plus, it was your daughter's idea to celebrate together", Y/n replied and looked in her best friend's direction who was talking to her dad with a serious face.

"But seriously, Tokyo is so different from back home. You both are city ladies now, huh", the 38-year old woman was fascinated by witnessing the growth of the two teenagers.

If someone would ask about how the two grew up where they are right now, only Mrs. Takizaki can answer them truthfully.

She saw them from being the most playful and pesky duo in their town to these gorgeous and amazing ladies.

"You look more bubbly than ever, Y/n. Are you perhaps...in love, hmm?" A teasing giggling voice from her side then whispered, getting some gossip from her within only the two of them.

"Uhm, maybe..?" she still answered the woman in front of her honestly - Y/n knew that she's not good at lying and for sure, this woman will know if she ever lies.

"Omy! So, are you two..in a..you know, hm?" her brows waggled, literally having fun at the spicy tea her daughter's best friend has.

"Geez, no, Auntie. We're not--I don't even know if he likes me back", trying not to talk in a tone of discouragement, she forced a smile at the woman in front of her.

"Oh, pfft! who wouldn't like L/n Y/n, huh? Of he doesn't, then his loss!" She praised and cheered up Y/n, now giving her advice on dealing with this situation wherein she's not sure if the man she likes also has the same feelings towards her.

"Just remember this. If he greets you a Merry Christmas at exactly 12 am, then it's 20%!"

"Twenty percent of what..?" A silvery voice from behind them curiously asked, with a glass of iced tea her slender soft hands were holding.

"Twenty percent that the man Y/n likes also likes her back. Am I right, love?"

"Gosh, mie, please don't get her hopes up! I mean, she'll expect something, which might hurt her feelings more", Nica muttered, annoyed at her mother's advice and reminders of her best friend's situation.

"So, you mean...I don't have a..chance?" Y/n almost whimpered with an agonized face, straightly looking at Nica.

"N-no...I didn't say that, girl! Hehe..", she rubbed her nape, now getting guilty.
