My mother is busy trying on Christmas sweaters in the dressing rooms, and I consequently have my hands completely occupied by the envelopes of everything we bought.

Obviously at that moment I feel the phone vibrating in my jeans pocket, and I'm almost certain that is dad wondering what happened to us.

In an attempt to move everything in one hand and pick up the phone, I lose my balance backwards, falling on a person.

"I'm sorry"
I say completely embarrassed, seeing all the envelopes on the ground in front of me.

When I hear curses in Korean in a low voice, I find the courage to turn around, almost taken by curiosity to see who was the pillow for my fall.

"Seonghwa"
My eyes barred as if I had seen a ghost created by the blinding lights of the clothes shop.

The boy looks at me from his height with a confused look, looking at me for answers.

"Yuna!!"
A light bulb seems to light up on his head as soon as he recognizes me.
"Is it really you?"
His eyes run all along my figure, and I feel like immobilized in front of the one I didn't think I would ever see again.

"Honey, what do you think of this one?"
I hear my mother's voice behind me, and Seonghwa's gaze rises, shifting attention over my shoulder.

"Good heavens, Seonghwa!"
My mother appears next to me with an unwatchable sweater, green with a huge reindeer on it.
"Miss Kang"
Seonghwa greets my mother with a polite bow, who instead huges him with affection immediately afterwards.

"I almost did not recognized you with that hair, but does your father know?"
Obviously my mother has to point out Seonghwa's blond hair, as if it was something shocking.

"Yes he knows"
Seonghwa answers almost amused.
"I would never allow it to my Yuna"
Both of their looks move over me, which I still haven't managed to say a word, and I almost feel like hiding my long black hair.

"Yuna is perfect as she is"
I think my heart loses a beat to his words, and my instinctive reaction is to look down before i turn red.

"You're right, but what are you doing here in Canada?"
My mother asks exactly what I would like to know too.

"I decided to attend my last year of college here"
I believe I will have a panic attack ..
Does this mean I will meet him on campus?

"So you'll be here for Christmas! Oh it would be a pleasure if you came to dinner with us"
The situation is degenerating in a few seconds;
Please someone wake me up from this nightmare.

"But- mom maybe he already has plans"
The only thing I said in an attempt to erase this terrible idea of ​​their thoughts is completely ignored by both.

"I wouldn't want to be a nuisance"
Seonghwa says with false insecurity.

"Are you kidding? You're basically part of the family, of course you're invited to Christmas! And I don't accept a no as an answer."
My mother responds determinedly, and I understand that I have no hope.

"Well, then I'll be happy to spend Christmas with you all"
Our eyes meet, and I still can't believe what just happened.
