As the snowflakes shinnied in the wintry air like kisses from the artisanal creator, the queen of the winter, December announced her arrival.
Christmas was just around the corner, and for once, the family of four decide to push their dear responsib...

As Taehyung steps out into the snowbound lawn outside, the cold air harshly nips and stings at his cheeks, to which he responds by casually pulling the scarf wound around his neck closer to his face. The white blanket draped over trees as well as the houses, it was eerily quiet out there, considering the chaos back inside.
The only noise he could hear was the snow crunching underneath his boots; the damp pine trees scenting the air around, sided with the delicious coffee beans wafting from inside the house. When the wintry air swishes past him, it appeared unforgiving, but as the gray clouds bequeathed a bounty of snow, the days of bluster and ice filled with avalanche did not seem all that hopeless.
The calmness and quiet wrapping around him must be the reason why Jungkook loved winter so dearly, Taehyung thinks. Jungkook's always been a lover of solitude, and winter provides him with just that.
"Daddy!"
With getting his thoughts interrupted, Taehyung turns his head albeit knowing who the voice belonged to. Kids' enthusiasm on bleak days as such was something he never understood to the fullest, but settles on that being just another part of their innumerable charms. And of course, another one of the many reasons why Taehyung adores kids with the entirety of his heart. And he knows Jungkook does too, just as much as he does if not more.
Taehyung settles on humming, not wanting to interrupt the serene silence despite knowing that it was bound to get interrupted sooner or later. Min-Jee tugs at the end of his long wool coat, and then points up ahead. He notices Yoongi and Jimin return from their morning 'expedition'.
"Um, daddy, do you happen to know why have they returned with a huge chunk of ice?"
That's when Taehyung takes into account the hilarious sight. Jimin was walking like he was holding a boulder of sorts, and Yoongi looked nonchalant like always.
When they got close enough to be heard, Yoongi exclaimed, "It's for preparing an iced americano."
"Seriously hyung?" Taehyung chuckles with a shake of his head.
"Said by your very best bud — Park Jimin, not me."
"Hey, I was just goofing around about that," Jimin intervenes, brows pulled together in a frown, "Anyways, I brought this 'cause like, have you ever seen a chuck so big? It's humongous and I figured the kids would love to see this just as much as I did."
"That was uncalled for, really." Says Min-Jee, inspecting the ice as if it were some experimental species, and then expressionlessly flicks it with her fingers, making Jimin lose balance and let the chuck fall into nothingness as it hits the ground.
Jimin was dumbfounded, and by the look on his face, he seemed extremely distraught. Min-Jee mischievously giggles before pulling at Taehyung's arm, "C'mon, daddy, let's go!"
