The year passed by rather quickly after that. Soon enough, it was December..............
"Here lies Kim MinSeok, also known as Xiumin. He was a great son, husband and father in his short life, he performed many times with his group, EXO, and took hardships like a true man. He will be missed by all, as he was loved by all." Tears were rolling down my cheeks as I read the message on his tombstone. It still hurts, even though it's been a year. It's nearly Christmas, but I can't celebrate.
"Xiumin," I whispered, hoping he would hear me. "I miss you. Every day, I think of you. I wish you could've stayed. I dream about seeing you again, I know you know that though. I do believe in guardian angels, so hopefully you're watching over me. I did what I promised. I moved on. Reluctantly, as I'm sure you would know. If you were here, I know what you would say. 'At least for once something tragic didn't happen on your birthday.' Which is true. But now Christmas is near the time of your death. You never even got to see Eu Mi and Jong Xiu seeing snow for the first time. They love it, by the way. Only makes sense, since they're related to the Baozi Snowflake. I wish you were here, Minseok." I put a gloved hand on the stone. "I'll always love you." I walked out of the graveyard and to the snow-covered park opposite, where Eu Mi and Jong Xiu were having a snowball fight with a few of the EXO members, while others were standing around, watching and laughing. I dodged a snowball from Sehun and sat next to the only member by himself.
"You ok, Mei?" He asked, as I rested my head on his shoulder.
"I guess." I sighed.
"You know you can sing if you want. I know that you like to sing when you're upset."
"I'm fine, really, oppa." He held my hand as we looked at the 12 kids all throwing snow at each other, and laughing.
"You sure? I hate it when you're upset."
"You hate it when any of us get upset, because you're their umma, Suho." He chuckled slightly.
"I guess that's true." I looked up at him. "You still miss him, don't you?"
"Of course. He was my first love. But he wanted me to move on."
"Don't worry, Mei. I know he'll be happy that you're not forever bawling. You can be happy sometimes."
"I know, oppa." I lifted my head to face him properly.
"And I'll try my hardest to love you like he did, and make you smile the way he did."
"It's ok, oppa. You make me smile in my own way." He gently kissed me on the lips, wiping the half-frozen tears from my face.
"Want to go join those kids?" He stood up and extended his hand to me.
"Sure." I took his hand and we walked over to the snowball fight. But before I could get there, I fell, and blacked out.

"She moved. She jumped slightly."
"Do you think she's awake?"
"I don't know, but somebody needs to get Xiumin hyung."
