Everything would've been perfect if he wouldn't hav...

*Jungwon pov*
First snow... Time really flies. I've been waiting for this all year! I started smiling just by thinking about it.
I was going home but, to be honest, where my feet were leading me was my last problem. I smiled and, while I was walking happily, I looked up at the sky. Seeing all the snowflakes falling so graciously and perfectly always fascinated me. How amazing and beautiful it was. But, at the same time, how fast it could just dissapear... right in front of my eyes... Even though just the thought of it made me sad, I tried to stay happy. It was the first time snowing that year after all.
You probably figured out by now that I love the snow. That feeling of calmness that it gives me. The beauty that it shows us even though we don't deserve it. The only thing that makes me truly happy and the only thing that brings peace and love in my life even in the hardest times. The perfection in this world full of unperfect things. At least that's how I see it...
Some people would say that it's too cold for them and that they would rather just stay in their room and admire it from afar or not see it at all. I'm not one of these people though.
The coldness is like an awakening to me... It gives me energy and it sometimes feels like it attracts me to it because, no matter where I am or what I'm doing, every time it snows, I have to go outside and just stay there and admire it for a few minutes before going back to what I was doing.
You might be wondering, why? Well, I wish I could know the answer to that as well... There were times when I tried to stop the urge to go and just tried to mind my business but I never actually succeeded. There was one year though... I remember it was a Saturday morning. I had some really important things to do that day so I decided to try and ignore the beauty of the outside and concentrate on what I had to do. And I kind of did it... But something just didn't feel right. For the whole day, I felt empty, sad and, even though nothing bad happened, it felt like I was having the worst day of my life. My heart beat felt like it was getting slower and slower and at any moment it could stop. I felt suffocated.
That day, at almost midnight, when I finally finished everything I had on my list, I threw a jacket on and started wandering around Seoul for hours in the snow. The cold breeze that was hitting my face made me feel at home and the empty street gave me a safe feeling. I don't remember much about that night but what I do remember is that I only went back to my house when the sun started rising the next day. I didn't feel tired though. I felt relieved and relaxed.
I never attempted to do that after and I'm not planning on doing it in the future either. The horrible feeling that it gave me... I will never forget it.
I shouldn't try avoiding or cutting off something that makes me this happy. It's not worth it.
Now that you know about that, I think it's time for me to introduce myself:
Hi! My name is Yang Jungwon and I'm 19 years old. I'm from Seoul but I moved to Gwacheon a few months ago after I moved out of my parent's house... We weren't having the best relationship ever. Plus, Seoul was just too loud and hectic for me. I just wanted to live in a quiet place and live my life as I pleased. And by that I don't mean drinking, clubbing, and other things like that, what I mean is pursuing my dream of becoming a teacher. That's the reason why me and my whole family aren't on the same page, nor getting along. Let me explain what I mean by that: My mom is a doctor, my aunt is a nurse, my dad is also a doctor and so is my uncle. My sister became a nurse as well and, guess what, everyone expected me to become a doctor as well. And, guess what! I told them I didn't want to do that and that's when it all went downhill :) They started yelling at me and saying I'm not their child and blah blah blah.
I currently work at a café and I also go to University to slowly accomplish my dream. I am a 1st-year freshman and one of the best students in my class.
Did I forget something...? Oh! I live in the same dorm as Sunghoon Hyung. He's a senior Engineering student! He's really nice to me but kind of a bitch to everyone else. We became friends through Jake, one of my closest friends and also a co-worker at the café that I work at.
Also, before you ask, no, I don't keep in touch with any of my relatives. All these harmful yhings that they said, I just couldn't bring myself to forgive them.
I feel like I forgot something... I got it! I am also single and as straight as a circle so, if you are a guy who is single as well, don't be shy, shoot your shot! ;) You don't have many chances though. I have pretty high standards and also a nit so pretty attitude. So, good luck with that, I warned you.
Okay, I think this is it!
Now back to the story!
I was just walking around cluelessly after finishing my shift. It was around 22 pm. The alley that I was walking on was peaceful... All I ever wanted. Closing my eyes, I inhaled the cold air, smiling at myself like a crazy person. But I didn't care. I was alone anyway, or so I thought...
I started walking around with my eyes still closed, knowing this place better than anything. I was just enjoying the moment of silence when I bumped into something, or more like SOMEONE, and fell on them!
I quickly opened my eyes and was met with an angry-looking boy. He immediately pushed me off of him before saying: "You've got to be fucking kidding me! What is wrong with you?!"
"I... I'm sorry. I wasn't looking around!" I bowed while he continued to curse me out... Well, someone is having a rough day I see...
"Well, next time be more careful! You have two damn eyes for a fucking reason! Ugh! This day can't get any worst! First, this annoying snow, and now this!" He said and left. Rude! I already apologized! Plus, the snow was thick enough to protect him from getting hurt! He should be thankful that the 'annoying snow' was there! What a mean person! Ugh... I glared at him before walking away... whatever. I should just go home for now.
