Winter Vacation

Choice A - Ace Ending

"I'll help Ace", you said and followed the said person to the backyard.

On a tree stump, Ace placed a smaller wood log and balanced it, before axing it down to tiny pieces. You awkwardly stood around and watched as he did so, not quite sure what kind of help Ace needed from you, you just knew you wanted to spend your choice on Ace. Looking back at the whole trip, Ace was one of the people you enjoyed spending your time with most. There was also the tingling sensation on your lips every time when you thought about the kiss with him and also the warm feeling in your heart every time you looked over at him, just like right now. 

You were sure you made the right decision. 

"How... How should I help you, I can't just sit here and do nothing..." you said and formed circles in the snow with your shoes, embarrassed to look into his face. After all, it was clear that you had chosen him, over the six other boys, trying to claim your heart. Ace woodchopping stopped and from the corner of your eyes, you saw him put down the ax and make his way towards you.  

"I... have no idea... I just wanted to be together with you..." he said, then took your hands into his, sending your eyes towards his. With a tight pull, he embraced your shivering body and pressed his cold forehead against yours. You tried avoiding his eyes but there was just no chance especially since he was so close, so you just ended up giving in. 

"Do you want to try it?" 

"Eh?..." 

Ace suddenly broke the hug and went back to the stump and picked up the ax, pointing in your direction. You hesitantly took the tool and held it above your head before two arms swung around you and grabbed your hands guiding them to forcefully split the wood in front of you. In shock, you dropped the ax and jumped back into Ace's chest, feeling as it vibrated from his laughter. As you turned around to confront him, you hit his shoulder and sneaked a smile, before pouting.

Out of nowhere Ace leaned down and gave you a little peck on your lips and pulled you further into his chest, then kissed you passionately. "So... does this mean we are together?", Ace asked, smiling sweetly, before burying his face into your neck out of embarrassment. You giggled and cuddle further into him.

"Do you want to stay here a little more, you know... spend some alone time after the boys are gone?"

Shocked, you created some distance between you and slowly nodded, suddenly also embarrassed over the fact you were going to spend time alone with your boyfriend. Ace picked you up and started swinging you around while shouting about how happy he was.

The rest of the day you spend peacefully, celebrating Christmas next to your boyfriend, but also all the other members you cherished. You were sure this was a week you would never forget in your life.
