SNOW FAIRY

Chapter Two

Seoul.

It's been a long time since her last visit here. Last year, she wasn't able to come home because of her crazy schedule. Just college student thing, you know.

She missed her family. She missed her puppy Bongbong. And mostly, she missed her long-lost boyfriend, Taewon.

They dated right after graduating from high school. She still remembered how Taewon asked her to be her prom date, and how he asked her out on that day as well.

Their relationship lasted for more than three years already, and now they were still going on. Unfortunately, they are more distant now as the time went by, since Haseol decided to continue her study to London.

She tried her best to maintain their relationship, despite the fact that Taewon was so busy these days, to the point where they hadn't called or chatted these past few days.

He didn't even know that Haseol was coming to Seoul. But it's fine. She didn't tell him on purpose, because as Jin said, surprises are always the best.

So here she was. Stepping out of the Incheon Airport, and looking for a taxi while dragging a giant luggage along with her.

She couldn't wait to get home. To meet her family and Bongbong. To celebrate Christmas with them and... to go on a date with Taewon, finally.

-oOo-

"I've arrived for like... few hours ago, maybe? Sorry, I forgot to call you as soon as I got here."

She plopped herself to the bed, listening to Seokjin nagging through the phone.

"I haven't called him yet. I think I'll just go to his house this evening, what do you think?"

"Okay then. Since it's Christmas, and I don't have much time."

Suddenly, she heard a big, loud yawn from across the line. She chuckled as she imagined Jin's face while doing that.

Must be so funny.

"What time is it there again? Oh, one- ONE?!" She shouted without she even realized. "Oh God, why didn't you tell me? You should go to sleep now!"

"I'll call you tomorrow when I arrive at your home. Okay, I know. Good night, Jin. Sleep tight!"

She hung up, laughing at the last sentence Jin said. He was that sleepy. He didn't even know what he was saying anymore.

Exhaling slowly, she stared at the lock screen of herself and Taewon. She missed him a lot. And she needed to see him as soon as possible.

But, what she needed now, was rest. She couldn't get enough rest on the flight, and now her the dark circles around her eyes were becoming worse.

I should not look dead when I see Taewon, at least.

She put away her phone, fixing her position comfortably, before she pulled the blanket up to her chin and dozed off for a short nap.

-oOo-

She walked slowly, securing the red scarf around her neck because it was getting colder. She looked up as soon as she got out of the train station, realizing that it was snowing, finally. No wonder it got colder all of a sudden.

"Good, the snow fairies did a great job." She chuckled softly after saying that, didn't expect that she still remembered Jin's story about the fairies.

Arriving at her boyfriend's place, she couldn't help but to look up nostalgically, remembering her last visit here. About two years ago, maybe? Oh how much she missed this place.
