Winter Vacation

Day 1

Your warm breath turned into a white steam cloud as you walked towards the snow-covered cabin, where you were going the spend your one week winter holiday. A warm sensation overcame your body as you were thinking about how excited Ziu, your closest friend, was when you agreed to his invitation. He had always managed to touch your heart, whether through singing in the study room next to you at college or just simply being himself, screaming a lot and laughing. There were a lot of people finding his behavior annoying and it had gotten him to hide this side of him many times before, yet this only lasted until he met you.

He always felt that he was safe around you and when his personality did slip by accident, you were not annoyed by any means. You laughed with him, enjoying the good time you had together and little by little Ziu's heart started to notice things that you did, little things that drove him wild and melted every part of his body. Yet to him you were too precious to risk ruining the friendship you had built up, so he was happy with just desiring you from afar as you made your way deeper into his mind.

Stomping your feet to get rid of the snow that had gathered on your shoes, you hadn't noticed that the door already opened up, so once you stepped up to knock on it your face was greeted by a strong chest. Surprised by the sudden appearance of a body in front of you, you stumbled backward over your own legs and was about to fall, when an arm caught you before your butt could make the impact with the soft layer of snow on the cabin's porch.

You glanced up into a pair of piercing eyes. One strong arm around your waist was keeping you in place and the cliche scene left hints of redness on your cheeks. The face to which the eyes belonged to was way to close for your personal preference, however, you couldn't really bother to mind at this point. Straighten up from your tangoish pose, your bodies parted from each other, suddenly leaving a feeling of emptiness on both parties.

„ Ah, hello, you must be, ahem, (Y/N), right?" he said showing off a shy toothy smile. You remembered vaguely that Ziu had mentioned other people joining as well, yet you didn't expect an older person, such as the one in front of you. You had assumed that they were just college friends, but thinking of it, Ziu didn't seem to have many people he talked to in the hallways. Beside of you, there were only two more people he would spend his time with and they were only guys and although most of the time they seemed annoyed around him, you could tell that they were enjoying Ziu's presence.

You nodded and you both stood there, embracing an awkward silence as you both didn't really know what to do at this point. Raising a hand towards the open door you stuttered a question that was supposed to ask whether you could enter or not, but ended up with something along the lines of 'Can... door... we... ahm enter?' He laughed and you mentally punched yourself for the impressive lack of human grammar.

Once again wrapping his built arm around your waist he led you inside the warm building that smelled like cinnamon and after shave cream. You undressed from jacket and scarf and placed your suitcase next to your wet shoes, which were now on a drying matt. After that, the man who had introduced himself as Lee Geumhyuk showed you the rooms that you needed to know about and stopped in the living room.

Entering it you found Ziu who's face brightened up when looking at you. He ran up to you with open arms, with his sudden weight crashing down on you and you both fell on the wooden floor laughing like the two idiots you were. Seeing how close your faces were to one-another Ziu stopped laughing and glanced into your eyes feeling the sudden urge to lean in that he would feel any time you both were fooling around and accidentally got to close. He quickly jumped off and apologized.

A foreign hand with the longest fingers you hand ever seen was stretched in front of your face. Following the hand, to its owner, you saw a familiar face, that you recognized seeing Ziu interact with many times before in the hallways. You took his warm hand and were pulled up. He didn't let go as he looked into your face with a bright smile.
