。☆✼★━━━━━━━━━━━━★✼☆。The sunny sky, warm sidewalks, wearing hoodies in the night and group luncheons in the outside cafeteria. Those days had slowly slipped away. Like a scarf blowing away in the breeze, being ripped away from its owner as they putter off on their motorcycle. It was as if time had decided to speed up overnight and steal the sun in its wake.
Winter started and anytime Felix and his friends hung out it was never for long. The roads were fine but traffic got worse in colder seasons. Not to mention they mostly had to walk home and them getting sick for the sake of them hanging out was a no-no. He didn't want any of them catching colds.
Streets were always crowded, huddling like penguins to keep warm. It was that time again, tests and exams showing up once more. More staying late in the dance studio. Study sessions now moved to the public library.
But what comes with winter was the famous holiday break. Where everyone went home, bundled up in coats and layers of clothes. Waiting for their subway car or taxis to reel to a stop.
Winters back home were different. Having set up the Christmas tree already and shoveling the driveway with his father. The window from his bedroom showed the tall grass covered in snow, foot prints in the snow from animals.
His relatives would come down to drop off gifts under their tree and stay for dinner. Children would run around the house while festive movies played. The adults helping cook in the kitchen, talking about their plans, about themselves.
However, when winter had hit in the city it wasn't as warm and homey. His apartment floor was always cold even with his sock clad feet against it.
The apartment barely had any decorations. Not even a tiny tree was present anywhere in the home. The mornings were cold with no one but himself inhabiting his home.
Walks outside weren't crunchy as he stepped on the broken sidewalks, nor were his jeans soaked from dragging in the deep cold snow. Felix could remember walks like those back home. Walking on the side of the road after school with his nose red. Since he always lived close to the school, buses weren't really needed.
But in the city, winter was kind of empty. The roads and sidewalks were always clear and at night the roads never quieted down even in the coldest weather. It seemed to get busier than in the summer.
Winter nights at home were quiet, so quiet you could hear the snowflakes falling. Like crystals they fell and glimmered under the moonlight. When reflected against the snow everything would gleam blue, looking like soft clouds.
Instead they glimmered orange and most of the time were just dirty crumpled piles on the sides of the road. He wanted to disappear under the snow but with the lights and the busy streets that feat was never possible.
You couldn't use the weather as an excuse to sleep in, to lounge around with a cup of hot chocolate. Couldn't say good morning to anyone but yourself.
With that in mind Felix had to go out before he packed to leave for home. A place he so dearly missed over the year. Only Changbin felt like home, reminded him of his warm blankets and safety. He smiled like an old friend he never had.
