Cold as You

Chapter 1

It is a silent night in December, you can barely see anything in the darkness of the sky, even the moon is hiding, the snow is pouring, cascading into the roofs then trapped at the canals, the trees that once have beautiful bushes around spring have already shed its last leaf and it feels like it loose its life too, for him it was cold, windy and lonely, just like the many other Christmas before, he hates it. He can't claim that he always felt like that, and he had to admit that even once he had loved it.

Oh Sehun was never fond of Christmas, he doesn't like how snow touches his car or how it slips into the back of his even multiple clothes, he thinks Christmas songs are just old and overrated, he even shoves off the children who sings it, he didn't like gifts, neither receiving or giving, and ultimately he thinks it is stupid to go outside his home in the middle of the cold starry night just to tow a stupid pine tree.

'This is stupid, Christmas is stupid, but they are even more stupid! How can they expect me to bring a tree without a fucking lift, damn it!' he hissed.

He knew he is stupid too for forgetting about the car but no one can blame him if he just stormed off right away after his brother commanded him. How can someone be grateful about it? The thing that he's mostly pissed about is that they clearly know how much he hated everything related to Christmas, but then here he is, dragging the exact 10 feet Christmas tree to his home and if you ask him how far it is, well you can think that it is already the eve countdown to Christmas and the time is exactly 9:00 pm, then walking from here to there is considered ditching the occasion.

He continued to stomp and mumble incoherent words until he reached the main road, it is dead silent, dim, and the only thing he can hear is the whistling of the wind. He suddenly heard a honk before him 10 feet from his last stop, so he turned and see a light, a blinding light if you ask and it almost gave him a head ache.

"Can you please walk aside? You're in the middle of the road and that pine tree is blocking the way" a faint voice reached his ears. But he's in no mood to care, so he just continue to walk on his usual pace without looking back again. Minutes pass and he heard a series of honks and that voice again, this time stronger and with no sense of politeness layering it.

"I said get out of the way! Can't you see I'm in a hurry, if you're having a bad day don't implicate other people!"

"I'm not trying to piss you off miss, I just can't do what you want because my feet are already freezing after this long damn walk!" he shouted in return. Suddenly he stopped walking and that made the girl honk at him again, He had a reason though, He just didn't want to admit that his legs are close to giving out, and he thinks its unnecessary to further humiliate himself.

He heard the loud bang of the door, He's sure that the lady poured her strength in closing that poor thing.

'She must've been fuming mad' he thought to himself.

Her footsteps are dreadful for him, though its not about the footsteps at all, but the fact that the girl is trying to close their distance. Though he never seen her, he admitted that he was quite worried about what he's getting into. He didn't know why he is nervous though, maybe because the girl sounded really agitated or maybe because of her aura he can sense 10 ft. away. Who in the middle of the night will try to get off their car to confront a stranger?

"Hey" she said hoarsely. He could've turned and face her but his freezing legs says otherwise, just one more move it will give out.

"I said hey, are you deaf?" that again, this girl surely had a bad temper.

"Stop, Its a Bad Idea!" He shouted back as soon as he felt her nearing behind him.

"You know what? You're an asshole!" he immediately felt a hand grabbing his right shoulder tugging him forcefully, and the next thing he knew he was on top of her.

"I told you it was a bad idea" he managed to say and then it all turned black.
