Thirty-Seven.

Christmas dinner was as amazing as Miles's hyped it up to be. Min ate a generous amount and complimented Lorena's cooking. After dinner, Miles dragged Min and Rae out to build the snowman, and Rae couldn't help but laugh as she decorated it to look just like the snowman that represented Min in the recent BTS performance she had watched. Min jokingly rolled his eyes as Rae took a picture of it, and Rae insisted Min send it to the member's group chat. They found it just as hilarious as she did. 

After the exhaustion of compacting snow to build the snowman, Miles somehow managed to maintain his stamina as he ushered everyone into the old blue truck and escorted them around the small town to look at Christmas lights. If Min was feeling fatigued, he did a great job of concealing it. Rae knew how much he valued his sleep and was well aware of his nicknames that alluded to his preference for not doing too much, plus he was still recovering from his surgery and was likely exhausted from his traveling, but with her family, he maintained a willing and pleasant attitude. He had been alert and present all day, taking in every bit of the tiring Christmas schedule, and made Rae feel that there was no other place he would rather be - and she adored him for it. 

As the night went on, they finally made it to the last item on Miles's Christmas to-do list. The stars were high in the sky, the snow very slowly falling, and the wind settled. It was peaceful and serene, and the surroundings were quite the contrast to what Seoul would be for Christmas. 

Miles stopped at a few of the neighbors that the Clarks knew well, and would approach their doors by singing Christmas carols. The first home they visited was an old family friend, the Elton's. 

Min stepped out of the truck after being squished in the back of the vehicle with Rae at his side and held out his hand to help Rae down safely from the lifted truck.  Min willingly began to follow Miles, Lorena, and Steve, until Rae tugged Min back to her side, her voice lowering in a whisper.

"I just want you to know that you do not need to sing with us, I know singing carols may feel..."

Min cocked an eyebrow as he brushed a hand across Rae's cheek, sweeping away a thick snowflake that had fallen on her cheekbone. "Feel what?" he asked, casually letting the snowflake dissolve into the fabric of his glove.

"Embarrassing?" Rae shrugged as she struggled to find the right word.

Min bit back a smile. "I sing in front of thousands of strangers all the time. Do you think I am embarrassed by some Christmas carols?"

Rae knew it sounded ridiculous when he phrased it like that, but she still didn't want him to feel pressured. "I didn't know if Christmas carols are your cup of tea, that's all," Rae admitted, images of Agust D flashing through her mind as she then contrasted him with the snuggly version of Min Yoongi in a Christmas sweater that was standing in front of her now. She shook her head, still uncertain how they could be the same person sometimes. 

Min took Rae's gloved hand in his, and wrapped her arm around his arm, steadily approaching the Elton's porch. "If it's your cup of tea, then it's my cup of tea. I just hope I don't embarrass you. I'm confident in my rapping abilities, but there is a reason I am not the lead vocalist of BTS," he pointed out. 

"I've heard you sing, Min, you don't give yourself enough credit. You are an exceptionally talented singer," Rae countered. 

Min laughed. "I would hold off on that compliment until you have heard me sing Rudolph the Red Nose Reindeer, then let me know if you still feel that way."

Rae chuckled and settled in at Min's side as they sang the first of many Christmas carols to end the night. Rae loved listening to Min's quiet voice which was perfectly on pitch as he read the lyrics for the songs off of his phone. Each house and stop they made, their audience couldn't help but fixate their attention on Min. Even his chunky Christmas sweater couldn't hide his ability to shine wherever he went, and at the end of each visit, Rae would proudly introduce Min to her old friends and neighbors, if Miles didn't try to get to it first.
