Coming Home

one.

At the age of 8, you and your best friend Jaehyun experienced the joys of snow together for the first time.

The perks of having your best friend as your neighbour was that they could go over to your house whenever they wanted (with permission from their parents of course). You and Jaehyun would go to school together, go home, play, and do homework together. Creating some of the fondest memories in your life. Neither of you realised how much it all meant until you were a lot older.

It was one December afternoon on a Saturday. You sat on the sofa between your parents, eyes focused on the animated characters on the TV. A bowl of popcorn sat awkwardly on your lap, but your small hands tried to keep it steady, not to let it fall on the floor.

Suddenly, light specks of snowflakes started to fall from a gloomy sky, and within a few minutes, those specks would turn into heavy snowfall.

You noticed something happening in the corner of your eye, and so you turned to the side and looked out the window with curiosity.

"Oh would you look at that Y/N, it's snowing!"

"Snowing?"

You placed the bowl of popcorn on your mum's lap before running up to the window. You watched the snowfall; your face lit up with excitement.

Next thing you know, the sound of a doorbell perked your ears, and you were curious as to who it was.

As your mum opened the door, there stood your best friend wearing a puffed up coat over his pyjamas, a fluffy hat and gloves to beat the coldness.

"Y/N, come out and make a snowman with me!!"

As soon as you heard those words from Jaehyun, you turned to look at your mum with wide eyes. You saw a smile grow on her face and nodded at you, which let you know that she permitted you to go outside. You quickly put on your coat and hat with matching gloves and went outside.

You and Jaehyun had a lot of fun building various snowmen, from small ones you placed on the window sill to big ones almost as big as you. Jaehyun even had this incredible duck shaping device which you use in the snow to create perfect little snow ducks. And, of course, when you're outside playing in the snow, a snowball fight is a must.

"Y/N! Let's make snow angels!!"

"Snow angels? What's that?" you asked.

You tilted your head to the side and walked up next to him as your eyes followed Jaehyun curiously as he laid on his back against the thick snow. You watched him move his arms and legs up and down repeatedly until some of the snow gathered against the outline of his body. Jaehyun quickly got up and pointed towards the figure.

"This! Snow angel! Come, make one here!"

Jaehyun gently tugged on the sleeve of your coat as he looked at you with pleading eyes but you hesitated.

"It's really fun, trust me!" Jaehyun exclaims cheerfully

"Okay, I trust you!"
