A few days after the first day of winter. It's snowing everywhere. In the morning before Jungkook went to school, he wore his hoodie and coat along with his red scarf that Jieun had wore a few days ago. Carriying his school bag behind his back, he went out of the house freezing. He shrugged his body, his whole body shook uncontrollably due to the strong wind outdoors. "You okay?" Junghyun asked closing the door behind him. The younger didn't move any other muscle but kept shivering on the porch. His brother sighed, "Looks like you're freezing.."

Covering his mouth, nose, and ears under the red scarf, his skin became a bit pale. "Mom and Dad aren't home, this could be difficult," Junghyun said to himself. After Junghyun grabbed his car keys, both him and Jungkook heard a door shutting from next door. They knew it was Jieun, they heard her small voice complaining about the winter's coldness. Suddenly, a thud. Sounded like someone falled to the ground.

Junghyun ran towards Jieun's house while Jungkook was struggling to move his legs. Junghyun stopped for a moment, remembering that Jungkook can't run because of his body is shivering. His brother hates the cold weather. Trying to act though but he actually can't handle the cold weather. Junghyun grabbed Jungkook's hand and placed it on the back of his neck. They try to walk fast. Once they have arrived there, they saw a girl laying down on the cold ground, also shivering.

The elder lets go of Jungkook's hand for a while. He picked Jieun up making her stand. She said 'thank you' with a shaky and really small voice. Junghyun pulled Jungkook's hand gently, cooding him to hug Jieun. At first, he was shy and he hesitated to do that. But he did it anyways. Junghyun couldn't walk to school leaving his classmate and brother alone there. He walked out from Jieun's front yard and looked on the road. "I'm getting my car here, both of you stay here for awhile okay?"

Junghyun ran his way back to his house. He turned on the engine of his car and quickly drove backwards to Jieun's house. Jungkook sneeze before he jumped inside the car. "Maybe I should drive us to school in this season," Junghyun said as he started to drive. Jungkook leaned on the car window, looking out. He felt something was holding his hand on the car seat. Then, he realized something, something he's holding. He looked at his hand and saw that it was holding on to Jieun's hand. She didn't mind Jungkook holding her hand. He's younger afterall. "What's the matter, Jungkookie?" She asked.

Jungkook shook his head slowly, he sometimes hate cold weather. They looked at their hands, intertwining with the other. Jieun almost let her hand go, Jungkook held her hand tightly. She looked up to see Jungkook's face. She bet that under his scarf, he's blushing at that moment. It only took 5 to 7 minutes to arrive at school.

When they have arrived, Junghyun parked his car on the parking lot. He opened the door beside Jungkook just as the wind blew towards the car door making Jungkook and Jieun flinch at the same time. Jieun whined, but her voice was so small even the Junghyun could barely hear her voice. Jungkook shook his head of and held on to his brother's sleeves.

"Oh my god I left it at home!" Jieun whined. The 2 boys looked at her.

"W-what do you left?" Jungkook asked as he walked out from the cab holding Jieun's hand.

"M-my sca-scarf," she shivered, cupping her neck to make it warm. Both brothers looked at each other, thinking what should they do. Junghyun took his bag out of the car then close the car door. Putting his keys in his bag, they started to walk towards the school gate. No one's here. Jieun walked with her shaky legs, still cupping her neck.

The younger couldn't resist looking at his noona freezing to death. He took of his red scarf slowly and placed it around Jieun's neck. The same scarf that Jieun wore that day. It was long enough to place it not just around her neck, but also covering her head. The red scarf has Jungkook's scent. And she liked it. On the other hand, she's also worried about Jungkook. Would he freeze? Will his body shiver forever? Can he hold the cold weather? All of those question were crushing in Jieun's mind.

"Jungkook," Junghyun called. "Will you be okay? Do you want to wear my scarf?"

"N-no need I'm g-good," Jungkook smiled at his hyung and noona. Junghyun sighed and walked towards the school hallway.

"Jungkookie," Jieun called. The boy hummed in respond. "Aren't you cold? Your neck is exposed–"

"I can cover it with my coat and hoodie," Jungkook reponded positively. "Don't always worry about me, I'm okay.."

"I heard from your brother that you get easily sick in this season," Jieun said holding Jungkook's shoulders. "We should get in class so you can get warm in front of the class' heater, okay?" He nodded, following her orders.

"Hey Jungkook why aren't you wearing a scarf?" Minghao shouted from the distance walking towards Jungkook and Jieun. "It's fucking cold out here–wait isn't that your scarf?" He pointed at Jieun.

"I let her borrow it," Jungkook replied with a husky tone.

"Jungkook please your neck is pale and a bit red you should get inside," Minghao pushed Jungkook inside the school. Jieun giggled looking at the boys joking around. She followed them from behind when suddenly she felt a tap on her shoulder. She turned around to see Yugyeom.

"Well, this is a coincidence," she muffled under Jungkook's scarf. "I guess you're also one of the early birds this morning."

"You too noona," Yugyeom smiled. He blinked twice when he realized that she's wearing Jungkook's scarf. "And I guess Jungkook's also here with you, noona.."

"He went with Minghao a while ago," she said. Yugyeom could barely hear her small voice due to the wind and her shivering.

"Come on noona, you'll freeze too," Yugyeom chuckled. She stood there looking up the sky where snow fell to the ground. She wondered.

"Jungkookie, I'm scared if you get sick.."
